Abstract: 6726. - Baudot, J. M. J. April 1, 1904, [date applied for under Patents Act, 1901]. Washing; bleaching; dyeing. - An electrolytic vat is attached to a cloth scouring or washing machine, through which the material is passed in course of its manufacture after the processes of fulling and bleaching, and before dyeing. The electrolytic vat consists of a vessel e provided with electrodes d, of which three are shown in Fig. 1, the two outer ones being connected to one pole of a dynamo, and the inner one to the other pole. It is charged at the beginning of the operation with a solution of sodium or potassium carbonate. The cloth is drawn into the vat directly from the fulling-machine before washing, and passes over the rollers b, b<1> and between the mangling-rollers c into a squeezing-machine as shown. The electrolytic action in the vat is stated to cause the soapy film to solidify and gather on the surface of the cloth, so that it is easily thrown back into the first compartment of the scouring-machine by the squeezing-rollers. The liquors from this first compartment are drawn off and submitted to electrolysis for the recovery of the fatty acids &c. from the soap.

Abstract: 9194. Haddan, R., [Cross Paper Feeder Co.]. April 18. Feeding sheets.- Relates to sheetfeeding mechanism for conveying sheets in succession from theseparating-device to a printing or other machine. The sheets, as they are separated from the pile, are taken by rapidly moving convey ing-means s and delivered to a moving carrier which retards them and delivers them against the machine stops. The sheets are separated from the top of the pile on the table A by any suitable device, such, for example, as that described in Specification No. 25,663, A.D. 1902, and fed to feed-rollers C. The sheets are then carried forward on a system of tapes D which pass around the lower feed-roller and a roller C' mounted in the forward end of a pivoted frame B. Presserrollers carried in pivoted arms supported by a shaft rest upon the rollers C<1>. The tapes D deliver the sheets to a series of supporting-bars E, over which they are fed by feed-rollers F, driven at the same surface speed as the tapes D, and co-operating pressure rollers F<1>, carried on arms F<2> which are pivoted to adjustable collars F<3> on a shaft F<4>. As the sheet approaches the stop G, it is transferred to a series of intermediate bars H, normally below the path of the sheet but adapted to be raised into engagement with pressure rollers H<1> connected to the rollers F<1>. The continued upward movement of the bars H raises the rollers F<1> away from the rollers F. At the instant when the sheet is transferred to the bars H, these bars are moving forward with a velocity substantially the same as that of the sheet while being fed forward by the rollers F, F', but after receiving the sheet their velocity is rapidly reduced, thus retarding the sheet as its front edge comes in contact with the stop G. The bars H are supported at the rear by forked arms which embrace the rod h<1>, and at the forward end by a rod h carried by arms h<5> on the shaft h<6>. The rod h<1> is operated to raise the bars H by a slotted link h<2> on a shaft h<4>, which is rocked at intervals by means of a connecting-rod h<12>, a bell-crank h<11>, and a cam h<10> on a shaft h<11>, the shaft h<6> being rocked simultaneously by means of a connecting-rod h'. The advancing movement is communicated to the bars H by pivoted arms h<14> which are formed with forked ends embracing the rod h<1>, andwhich are oscillated by means of a connecting-rod h<19>, a bell-crank h<18>, and a cam h<7> on the shaft h<11>. The shaft F<4> carrying the rollers F<1>, H<1>, and the shaft F<5> are mounted in brackets which may be adjusted to accommodate sheets of various sizes, and the shaft F<5> is driven by means of spiral wheels f<1>, f<2>, the former of which is feathered on the shaft f. The shaft f is driven from the tape roller c<1> by means of spur and spiral gearing f<3>, f<4>.

Inventor: PRADEAU CHARLES WILLIAM
Filed: 1906-11-29
Granted: 1907-11-28
Abstract: 27,174. Pradeau, C. W. Nov. 29. Spring power - storing mechanism. - A spring motor has a pair of spring barrels which are driven alternately from a continuously-running prime mover and transmit the stored energy in turn to the driven member. In the apparatus shown in Figs. 1 and 3, the loosely mounted spur-wheel e and its attached side rings g are driven continuously from the prime mover through the sprocket-wheel c and pinion d. During one revolution a notch h on the right-hand ring engages a pawl k mounted on the spring barrel t and winds up the spring until the arm n and shaft o, attached to the pawl, are raised by contact with a fixed projection 28 on the outer casing. The spring s then forces a plate over a projection on the spring barrel, and maintains the pawl in its raised position. At the same time the lever 24, which is fixed on the shaft 25, engages the notch 21 on the barrel and prevents rotation in the reverse direction until the prime mover commences to drive the opposite spring barrel, when a similar pawl on the opposite end of the shaft 25 is raised by engaging similar notches in the latter barrel. The spring barrel t then . rotates in the reverse direction until the pawl k is released again by the shaft o engaging a second inclined surface on the projection 28, at which point the driving operation re-commences. As the spring barrels unwind, they transmit motion to loosely mounted spur-wheels 17, v which carry pawls as shown at z transmitting motion in one direction to the shaft w which is geared to the shaft 5 of the driven member. The apparatus is stated to be applicable for driving a dynamo on a motor-vehicle for lighting lamps on the car.

Abstract: 28,564. Bracy, E. L. Dec. 14. Parcelling cigarettes &c.-Packets of cigarettes &c., for example those produced in the machines described in Specifications No. 6819, A.D. 1902, and No. 9531, A.D. 1904, are automatically inserted into paper cups or boxes. The boxes e, Figs. 1 and 2, into each of which a photographic or other card may have been inserted, are fed to the machine by an endless belt u. When the camoperated rod z rises, it lifts the stop 9 and allows the, boxes to fall into a vertical shoot d, below which is an intermittently-rotating wheel b having notches or pockets c. When a box has fallen into one of the pockets, a cam-actuated plunger enters the pocket from the left, as viewed in Fig. 1, and pushes out the box until its mouth has embraced four spring blades 12 ... 15 Figs. 1, 5, and 6, arranged at the end of an horizontal guideway. The packets y of cigarettes are fed to the machine by an endless belt w, which delivers them to a vertical shoot v. A stop 11, similar to the stop 9, Fig. 2, controls the entry,of the packets into the shoot v. The lowest packet in the shoot v is pushed along the previously-mentioned horizontal guideway by a cam-actuated plunger, which forces it past the spring blades 12 ... 15 into the box. The continued motion of the plunger pushes the box back into the pocket c, and the wheel b then turns and carries the box past ordinary mechanism for closing, sealing, and discharging it. The plunger which traverses the horizontal guideway carries a pivoted spring-pressed piece 17, Figs. 5 and 6, which engages the photographic card and pushes it home into the box. In a modified arrangement, the packets y are. fed direct to the horizontal guideway by an endless belt at rightangles to the guideway.
