Title: An Improved Attachment for Gathering and Stitching Machines for the use of Bookbinders
Inventor: NELSON IAN THEODORE
Filed: 1905-04-01
Granted: 1905-12-14
Abstract: 6930. Nelson, I. T., and Murray, J. April 1. Stapling and like wire-stitching.-Books are received from the signature-gathering machine on a travelling band a, which discharges them through a guide b into a rotating knocking-up attachment, from which. they are taken by a chain carrier to the wire-stitching machine, where means are provided to maintain the book in the correct position for stitching. From the band a, the books drop through the shoot b into one compartment of the knocking-up attachment shown in Fig. (i, which consists of a stationary disk e and a movable disk c provided with arms f which are held by springs against the disk e. The disk c is mounted on a hollow shaft g, which is intermittently rotated by means of a ratchet, operated from the driving- wheel h of the gathering-machine. The book falls into the chamber on to the rib f, and the next step of the shaft turns it against the next rib, thus knocking it up in two directions. A chain with teeth at intervals moves over the chain-wheel p on the shaft g' and removes the books along guides v to the stitching-machine of usual construction, which is synchronized with the gatherer. The book is projected too far by the teeth on the chain and is brought back against them by fingers w actuated by the adjustable stops x on the rod t ; this is reciprocated by a crank on the shaft g<1>, which is rocked by linkwork from the shaft of the gathering-machine. Two stitching - devices are shown arranged to stitch a book each every time the chain feeds forward. The chain is intermittently moved by the rod t moving a rack which, by means of a ratchet, drives the chain-wheel q. Books may, if desired, be fed by hand to the knocking-up arrangements. The Provisional Specification states that, if desired, a tappet arrangement may be added to assist in the knocking-up of the books.

Title: Improvements in or relating to Electro-magnetic Switches and like Electro-magnetic Mechanisms.
Filed: 1906-03-12
Granted: 1907-03-07
Abstract: 5952. Field, M. B., and Ferranti, Ltd. March 12. Electro-magnets. - Switches or like mechanism may be operated by an electro-magnet of which the core has a large surface compared with its volume and the cross-section of the space inside the coil is large compared with the metallic cross-section of the core. The coils A, on a support B preferably of paper, are contained in an iron casing C, which is slightly conical in shape and is formed in two halves secured by bolts through lugs C'. The surface of the casing may be fluted. The plates C<2>, C<4> are split from circumference to centre, and an insulating ring D supports the coils A. A supplementary coil may be placed at the lower end of the coils A to give an increased pull when the core commences its movement. The core as in Figs. 1 and 2 may be two concentric tubes F, F' each slotted for nearly its whole length. The tubes are held together by a bolt G passing through a plug G<1> of magnetic material which occupies approximately the whole of the cross-section of the coil and so helps to diminish the magnetic reluctance of the air paths. The core is shown in Fig. 1 in the position it occupies when the coils are energized, and is attached by a block H and bolt H<1> to a switch or other mechanism. Modifications of the core may be used, each being slotted. A starshaped core F<3> is shown in Fig. 3 and two concentric cylinders with radial strips cutting off segmental air-spaces in Fig. 4. Or a number of split tubes F<9> secured in a slotted plate F<10> may be used. A spring J may be attached to the core to assist the operation of the switch. The coils A are wound for lower voltage than that on which the mechanism is to work, and a resistance K is connected in series with them. A resistance L is connected in parallel to take up the self-induction discharge. A resistance M and an auxiliary switch may be used so that a small current insufficient to raise the core may pass through the coils A, or the circuit may be broken altogether.
