Title: Improvements in Machines for Sealing and Stamping Envelopes.
Filed: 1907-02-23
Granted: 1908-02-24
Abstract: 4514. Lake, H. H., [Detroit Mailing Machine Co.]. Feb. 23. Feeding envelopes; damping envelopes.-In an envelope sealing and stamping machine of the kind in which the stamp feeding, moistening, and cut-off mechanism is put into operation by the advancing envelope, the envelopes are fed from a stack-holder in a straight line and during their passage through the machine they are operated upon by the sealing and stamping mechanism arranged upon opposite sides of the plane of feed. The machine is shown in plan in Fig. 1 and in cross-section in Fig. 3. The end envelope of a stack placed in a bolder 8 is fed by the roll 13 between a pair of rolls 3, 3<a> which are rotated in the same direction so that one envelope is worked back when two are fed simultaneously. As the envelope is advancing between a pair of rolls 4, 4<a>, a fixed guide 22, Fig. 3, turns the flap over an inclined moistening disk 14 which is driven by bevelgear 15 and dips in a water-tank 18 carrying a strickle 19. The flap is pressed against the disk by a cone-shaped roll 20 furnished with a series of disks 20<a> and journaled to a frame 21. The completion of the sealing is performed by the rollers 6, 6<a>, 7, 7<a>. Simultaneously with the sealing operation, the stamping process is effected on the opposite side of the plane of feed. The lower ends of the envelopes rest upon an horizontal guide 96 which together with the stack-holders may be adjusted to suit various sizes of envelopes by a set-screw. The stamped envelopes are fed between the plates 100, 101 the latter of which is provided with guided rods 102 and is fed outwards by the envelopes rotating a member 103. The various rollers are driven by bevel gearing &c. from a crank-handle 10.

Patent GB-190800593-A (GB)
Title: Improvements relating to the Ejector and Brake Controlling Mechanism of Vacuum Brake Apparatus.
Inventor: BROOKE ROBERT GRUNDY
IPC: B60T13/46
Filed: 1908-01-10
Granted: 1908-07-16
Abstract: 593. Brooke, R. G. Jan. 10. Brakes.-In an ejector'and brake controlling- apparatus for vacuum brakes having steam and air valves controlled by an operating-handle, the ejector is brought into operation without moving either the service or emergency air valves, and vice versa. Steam from an inlet d, Fig 1, to the large ejector b, is controlled by a valve c, while the supply to the small ejector b<1> is independent of the valve c. The main air valve e is loosely mounted on a spindle g and is provided with projections e<1>, e<2>. The handle h is mounted on the spindle g, and moves between stops a<1>, a<2> on the valve casing. A pivoted air valve i closes an opening to the trainpipe passage f, and a scroll cam j is fixed on the end of the spindle g. In the running position, the handle is in position IV, Fig. 2, and by moving the handle to position III, the spindle c' of the steam valve c is lifted by the cam j, without operating either of the air valves. When the handle is moved to position I, the cam j opens the valve i to admit air to the train-pipe. The handle is then in contact with the stop e<1>, and by a continued movement of the handle to position II, the valve e is opened to admit a large quantity of air to the train-pipe. When the handle is returned to position III, the valve e is closed, and the steam valve c is opened to take off the brakes. In a modified form, separate cams, mounted on a hollow spindle and on a rod k, Fig. 5, passing through the spindle, serve to actuate the steam valve c and the air valve i. The rod k is turned by an arm m connected by a link n to a lever o pivoted on the handle h. By holding the lever h in the position shown and actuating the lever o, the air valve i is opened, while moving the handle to position II opens the valve e, and moving it to position III opens the steam-valve. The valve i may be dispensed with, the valve e then being used for all applications of the brakes. Means may be provided to assist the closing of the steam valve c.

A boss is cast on the band so as to balance the lugs d, and the securing-screw, or the slot in the hub, may be cut away as shown in Fig. 2<a>, or the band may be made in symmetrical halves as shown in Fig. 6. Two securing-screws may be used on each side of the band.

Title: Improvements in or relating to Power Transmitting Mechanism for Motor Vehicles and other Purposes.
Inventor: JEFFREYS EDWARD AUGUSTUS
Filed: 1908-05-07
Granted: 1909-04-15
Abstract: 9963. Jeffreys, E. A., and Sayers, W. B. May 7. Motor road vehicles. - A power - transmission device comprises an oscillating member influenced through an elastic member by an inertia member so that the driving - member is periodically subjected to and relieved from load. It is stated to be applicable as a change-speed driving-gear on a motor-vehicle. In the form shown in Fig. 2, one fork c of a universal joint is secured to the driven shaft b, while the other fork d is inclined to the driving-shaft a and connected thereto by a crankarm e. The forks c, d are connected by a crossshaped piece g. The limb of the piece g that adjoins the fork c is a hollow shaft g<1>. Fly-wheels i are supported on the ends of a spindle h passing through the shaft g', the rim of each wheel i being connected by a spring and a flexible strap k to the shaft g<1>. During each revolution of the shaft a relatively to the shaft b, the shaft g<1> makes a double oscillation about its own axis. Oscillating rotary motion of the wheels i is accompanied by bending of the springs j and winding of the straps k round the shaft g<1>. The arrangement is such that the shaft b is driven by a series of impulses of value depending upon the obliquity of the fork d, which is adjusted by a clamp e<2>. The combined elastic and inertia system yieldingly locks the shaft b to the shaft a in such a way as to form a powertransmission mechanism of velocity-ratio automatically variable with the load. Fig. 6 shows another typical form. The oscillating system resisting the free oscillation of the shaft g<1>, arranged as before, comprises a pair of massive pistons q<1> sliding in cylinders q' in a casing o, which forms the driven gear-element. Other pistons r closing the ends of the cylinders q<2> are coupled by connecting-rods to a balancing-lever r<2>. The air in the cylinders q<2> constitutes the elastic element, and adjustment may be effected by varying the pressure of this air instead of by altering the obliquity of the fork d. In one arrangement, the universal joint is dispensed with. A crankshaft serves to oscillate spring-mounted fly-wheels carried by the driven shaft.

Title: Improvements in Appliances for Withdrawing Tubes from Tube Plates.
Inventor: HERON WILLIAM
Filed: 1908-07-04
Granted: 1909-06-17
Abstract: 14,213. Heron, W. July 4. Withdrawing tubes.-An appliance, for withdrawing condenser or other tubes from their tubeplates, consists of a rigid or expansible member to be inserted in the tube, a member which surrounds the end of the tube, and means to cause these members so to grip the tube that it can be withdrawn. In one arrangement, shown in Fig. 1, a cap 1 fits closely over the tube 2 to be withdrawn and a split tube 8 is expanded by drawing up a tapering rod 12 by means of a nut 14, which carries a collar 15, a block 16, travelling in the cut in the tube 8, serving to prevent the rod 12 from rotating. The tube is thus gripped and may be withdrawn by means of handles 3. In a modification shown in Fig. 6, the internal member 8 is made solid or as an unsplit sleeve, and is attached to a cross-piece 22 to which the two parts of the external member 1, which is split, are pivoted. These two parts are caused to grip the tube 2 by outward motion of a yoke 23, operated by an eye-bolt 24, causing the wedge-shaped portions 18, 19 to separate. Fig. 10 shows another modification in which both the tube 8 and the member 1 are split, the taper rod 12 being forced in on rotating the eye-bolt 24 by means of a left-handed screw spindle 13, and the yoke caused to travel outwards, by the same operation, by the right-handed thread on the eyebolt, longitudinal motion of which is prevented by a shoulder 28 in conjunction with the loose collar 26 working in a slot 27.

The rod is provided with a handle H', and is reciprocated to impart a rocking movement to the sifter. The pail is provided with a bail handle N and is fitted with a lid L, which is cut away at one end to come flush with the flange J. In a modification, the sieve is fitted near one end with slotted pieces or lugs which engage studs on the sides of the pail, instead of supporting it on a cross-bar.
