Abstract: 28,664. Trõger, J. H., and Kurz, A. Dec. 16, 1912, [Convention date]. Printing - surfaces.- Relates to a machine for stamping characters successively on metal printing - plates by means of dies or letter punches, and in particular to the method of and means for determining the space between successive characters. The extent of movement required to space two consecutive characters is measured from a plane intersecting each of the characters, the movement being the sum of the projection of the adjacent characters from the intersecting-planes, plus the space between the characters. The intersecting-plane does not necessarily pass through the centre line of the character. The plate i is supported on a bed b sliding on guides b' and capable of being locked by a clamp IV. The stamp h is secured in a ram f supported in a slide c movable over a yoke a by rack and pinion gear x, y. The ram f is operated by a screw e the penetration of the stamp being determined by a scale t with an adjustable pointer coacting with a pointer u. The slide e carries a stop q, which abuts against the outermost of a series of washers p threaded on a stud formed on a block m, which can be clamped in any position in a groove n formed in the yoke a by a handle l<1>. Each of the washers p corresponds in thickness to the space between successive characters and to the sum of the projection of the characters laterally from the intersecting-plane. After stamping the first letter, the outermost washer is removed, the stop q moved up to the next, a new stamp h inserted and the next character impressed.

Granted: 1914-12-17
Abstract: 29,391. Ryland, T. J. F. Dec. 20. Variable-speed belt and friction gearing, of the kind comprising a gear element with side members such as u, v, Fig. 8, automatically pressed against a belt or a coacting friction member such as t, by cams f coacting with stops i in accordance with varying effective diameters, is modified to prevent the stops from destroying the cam-surfaces. The cams f take the form of a tandem series of helices, which vary in pitch to correspond with different individual diameters of the gear element, and the stops i are fitted with loose sleeves or rollers k, Fig. 5, which present flat surfaces m to press against the helices. Guides q substantially parallel to the cams f serve to separate the members u, v, which are connected by fingers p. In the frictional arrangement shown in Fig. 8, the member t is carried by a shaft s, which is carried by a frame z adapted to slide towards and from the member u, v on guides y. An inclined member z' secured to the frame z has a number of flat locking-faces 1 connected by inclines, the faces 1 being adapted to abut against a stop 2 to hold the member t against the member u, v in one of the proper working configurations of the member u, v. The stop 2 is carried by a laterally-movable frame 3, which is operated to change the speed by a lever 7. Spur gears 16, 17 on the shaft s and on the shaft r, which carries the stops i, are adapted to be connected for reversed driving bv an idler 20. The invention is applicable for driving motor-vehicles and lathes.

Abstract: 29,494. Schuster, N. Dec. 22. Coke ovens.-Relates to ovens of the type in which the gas for combustion is admitted through passages 1 below the heating-flues 2, and in which flues 16 parallel to the passages 1 serve alternately as exits for combustion products and for the admission of air. To prevent overheating of the gas passages 1, between them and the flues 16 are provided cooling- channels 24 extending entirely through the structure and open at their ends to the atmosphere. These cooling-channels may be connected to the flues 16 so that air is drawn through them by the chimney draught. To secure greater uniformity in the gas distribution to the nozzles 9, the ends 26 of the gas-passages 1 are tapered, and an auxiliary passage 27 may be provided to supply gas at the point at which the tapering commences. The nozzles 9 open into chambers 28 having sloping and overhanging side walls as shown, which direct falling soot &c. from the flues 2 away from the nozzles and into pockets 29.
