Abstract: 19,320. Robinet, H. Aug. 29. Draught, regulating.-In apparatus for regulating the draught of boiler furnaces, of the kind in which the pressure in the boiler actuates the pointer of a pressure gauge and closes an electric circuit comprising a motor for operating the furnace damper, the pointer of the pressure gauge closes electric contacts on adjustable contact strips on the dial of the gauge, whereby two motors running in opposite direction, or a reversible motor are so actuated that the damper is adjusted through worm gearing in one or the other direction. The damper o is suspended from a cord b which passes around a toothed pulley e driven by a worm e actuated by motors f, g. The pulley c is provided with a fixed projection i and an adjustable projection k adapted to engage with levers l, m having contacts dipping into mercury pots n, o, p, q. The motors f, g are driven in opposite directions by a current from the source y, the motors also being in circuit with contacts t, u, v, w on the pressure gauge x. The pressure gauge is provided with adjustable contact strips 1, 2 and 3, 4 with an interspace at the point of normal pressure. The pointer z of the gauge is provided with a rectangular frame 6, Fig. 3, in which is pivoted an inner frame 14 carrying a contact roller 5. When the pressure falls below the normal, as indicated by the position of the pointer in Fig. 2, the circuit comprising the strip 1, contact t, source of current y, motor g, mercury pots n, o, contact u, strip 2 and roller 5 is closed and the pulley c is rotated and the damper raised to the highest position, when the projection i operates the lever l and breaks the circuit. When the pressure exceeds the normal, the circuit including the motor f is closed and the pulley operated in the reverse direction until the adjustable projection k engages the lever m and breaks the circuit.

Abstract: 10,121. Goss Printing Press Co., Raabe, O. L., and Terrey, A. April 29. Feeding webs.-Each section of a printing- machine is provided with two reel carriages which are alternately withdrawn, supplied with a new reel, and replaced from floor level so that when a reel runs out a new web can be joined up quickly. The movement of the carriages is performed by mechanical means preferably operated by pneumatic, electric or hydraulic power, and the arrangement is such that when the reels are in operative position their spindles are controlled by brakes operated by mechanical, pneumatic, hydraulic, or electric means, and the reels can be adjusted laterally by mechanical means. As shown, each section of a printing-machine is provided with two reel supports consisting of carriages B which can slide on tracks C arranged just below floor level, and are fitted with uprights B' formed with bearings to receive the reel roll spindles. When one of the reels is exhausted, the machine is stopped to join the new web, by glue &c., to the old web, and the carriage B containing the spindle of the used roll is moved to the position shown to the right in Fig. 4 by means of hydraulic cylinders b<1> moving over rams b<2>. A stop H may then arrest the carriage B and cut off the hydraulic pressure. The spent reel is moved from its bearings over the projection b<3>, Fig. 5, of a standard B<1> and on to an hydraulic lift E, which lowers the spent reel to floor level, where a new reel is placed on the lift and the new reel is returned to a position ready to join it up to the operative web when that runs out. The lift E is so arranged that it serves for two carriages B. The spindles d are formed with square ends adapted to enter correspondingly-shaped holes in brake pulleys F, Fig. 6, mounted so as to rotate in end bearings in the frame a. Braking action is exerted on the pulleys F by a divided wood-lined metal band f<4> attached to the frame by bolts f<5> and operated by a bell-crank f<7> from a pneumatic or hydraulic cylinder f<6>. The carriage B is locked in its operative position by the engagement of a catch b<4> with a groove a<3> arranged behind a conical head a<2> formed on a screw which engages a thread in the machine frame. By turning this screw by sprocket gearing, the carriage B may be adjusted for lateral register of the web. The carriage B may be automatically released from the catch b<4> by a projection f<8> on a rod f<9> attached to the piston of cylinder f<6>, the carriage B being released when the braking action is removed.
