Title: Means for Folding and Wrapping Newspapers and the like.
Inventor: YOUNG ALBERT EDWARD
IPC: B65B25/14
Filed: 1911-08-28
Granted: 1912-05-16
Abstract: 19,229. Young, A. E. Aug. 28. Wrapping-up newspapers.-In a machine for wrapping newspapers &c., the newspapers 3, previously folded in halves, are placed on a table 2, from which a folding-knife 4 strikes them between rollers 5. The paper, now folded into quarters, passes downwards past a belt 6 and baffle 7 into a clip 8. The wrapper 9 is fed from a roll between the face of the newspaper and rollers 10, and a folding-knife 11 forces the wrapper and paper through the rollers 10, while a shearing-device cuts the wrapper from the roll. The folding-knife 11 is gapped in the middle approximately equal to the width of the wrapper, so that, in the event of no newspaper being fed, the wrapper is not forced into the folding-apparatus, but falls clear. The package is carried between a plate 15 and a weight 16, which is slightly displaceable upwards, and the edge is received by clips 18. The knife 11 is withdrawn and a third folding-knife 19 forces the package between rollers 20, the uppermost portion of the wrapper being within the last fold. The left-hand roller 20 supplies paste to the wrapper by an endless band 21. The package rests on a stop 23, a portion 23<a> of which is spring-held upwards, and the knife 19 is withdrawn while a spring projection 27 prevents withdrawal of the package. Fingers 24 then turn over the package into the position shown in full lines, Fig. 2, a table 29 rising simultaneously to support it, and a flap 25 turns over the upstanding portions of the wrapper on to the gummed portion between the fingers 24. The table 29 is withdrawn and the package falls out of the machine. The knife 4 and rollers 5 may be dispensed with and the material fed directly into the clips 8.

Switches, quick-break.-A pivotally-mounted hand-lever a has a one-way connexion, by means of the pawl d, with a ratcheted cam-wheel e which engages a roller f upon an intermediate member g which is guided so that it may slide up and down vertically; the member g engages and operates a pair of pivoted contact-arms through the rollers p. The contact arms are connected by a spring q. In operation, when the handle is moved to the right, from the position shown in Fig. 1, the cam - wheel is rotated, the intermediate piece is depressed, and the contact arms are rotated into the closed position. Further movement of the handle, in the same direction, past the circular portion of the cam releases the intermediate piece, whereupon the spring q operates to produce a quick break. The contact arms are provided with buffer contact-disks n which fit loosely upon the ends of the arms and are pressed by the springs n<1> so that they accommodate themselves accurately on the fixed contacts o. Both the fixed and movable contacts are provided with renewable carbon rings n<2>, o<1> to prevent sparking.

Switches, quick action; mechanically interconnected switches.- A compound electric switch of the kind described in Specification 16,229/12, comprising a quick make-and-break main switch fitted with fuses for carrying the running load and an auxiliary switch with a conductor for temporarily short-circuiting the fuses and carrying the starting load, is actuated and controlled by fast and loose arms mounted on a rock-shaft. The main switch for a three-phase motor-starter is mounted on a frame 20 which carries three insulating- members 21, on each of which is mounted a pair of contact blades 24, 25 with jaws 22, 23 for receiving the fuses. The auxiliary switch is mounted on a frame 38 which carries insulating- members 41 with contacts 42, 43 for engaging upward extensions 36, 37 of the switch-blades 24, 25 in the starting position, the contacts 42, 43 being connected together by conductors of sufficient capacity to carry the starting load. The two frames 20, 38 reciprocate on rods 26 secured to the cover 8 of the casing. The loose arm 46 mounted on the rock-shaft 17 engages the upper side of the frame 38 and moves both switches together into the ' on ' position on rotating the shaft, the loose arm being moved by the engagement of an abutment 51 with an abutment 50 on the fast arm 45. The main switch is held on by spring-hinges comprising a pair of hinge-plates 31 seated in a cee-spring 32, this arrangement providing a quick make action, but on releasing the handle, the auxiliary switch is thrown off by the springs 39. At the same time, the arm 45 of the shaft 17 is moved into engagement with the underside of the frame 20 of the main switch.
