Patent GB-191307305-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in and relating to Overhead Conductors for Electric Traction Systems.
IPC: B60M1/14
Filed: 1913-03-27
Granted: 1914-03-26
Abstract: 7305. Bowen, K. D., and Cedes Electric Traction, Ltd. March 27. Points and switches and crossings for conductors.-An overhead conductor crossing for a railless trolly system crossing a tramway or other system comprises a light frame having one or more straight tension members in line with the main portions of the interrupted conductor or conductors, and adapted to support the uninterrupted crossing conductors; this supporting-frame is also applicable to conductor junctions. The construction shown in Fig. 1 is suitable for the crossing of a single tramway conductor 12 by a pair of railless conductors. The tension of the tramway wires is taken up, through anchor wires 2, 3, by a straight central tension member 1 of the supporting-frame 6, 10, 7 carrying the undivided conductors of the railless system. The frame is of sufficient length to permit the supporting-arms 14 to be adjusted to suit crossings of any angle. When a railless system crosses a similar system, two wires must be interrupted, and consequently the frame required comprises substantially two of the frames, shown in Fig. 1, connected by cross-bars. Figs. 6 and 7 show the arrangement of the anchor wires 3 in relation to the supply conductor at a double railless crossing. The anchor wires are threaded through specially placed eyes on the conductor supports, whereby the path of the collector is clear and the anchoring-wire is nearly in line with the interrupted conductor. Fig. 9 shows in plan the application of the double supporting-frame to a junction point in which spring blades 34 are used, the free ends of which are attached to, but insulated from. members 35 movable on are-shaped guides 36.

Granted: 1915-03-17
Abstract: 6697. Gledhill, J. A., and Bentley, J. E. March 17. Inking - apparatus.- In an inking-apparatus for platen or cylinder machines, the formes are inked in various colours in transverse and longitudinal sections by means of rollers receiving ink from a distributing-cylinder having its surface divided circumferentially into sections by sliding trays and intermediate fixed bars. The trays may receive various arrangements of strips, supplied with differently coloured inks from divided inkducts ; the strips in each tray are inked from a separate duct, and each has its own set of distributors lifted as the others pass under them. The fixed bars of the cylinder are specially adapted for inking the borders of the forme and paragraph lines. The forme-inking rollers are also lifted so as to receive ink only from the required tray or parts of the cylinder, and so as to apply them to the required parts of the forme. The trays b, preferably four, in the cylinder a are reciprocated by rods b<2> engaging fixed cams b<3> against the pressure of springs b<4>. These trays b carry strips or segments b<1> of wood or metal, which are locked in position by means of quoins and side sticks and vary in number and disposition according to the colours to be applied. The trays b are separated by fixed bars a', which also form part of the periphery of the cylinder. The usual roller races a<2>, having lifters with cut-outs, are provided on the cylinder a for operating the bowls d of the ink-supply rollers c, which are supplied as usual by distributing- rollers e from ink fountains f, which may be subdivided for different colours. When the strips b' of one tray b have received their one or several coloured inks, as the case may be, from one of the rollers c, the cylinder a, by its rotation, lifts this roller c and permits another roller c to ink another tray b, and so on. When border and paragraph or "catch" line work is to be done, the segment b<1> in one tray, which need not then be subdivided into strips, may be supplied with one colour only from an ink-roller c. This single colour or, if required, bands of such colour are then transferred to the fixed bars a<1> on the cylinder by two or more disks l mounted on a transverse shaft k for inking the border lines or paragraph lines on the forme. Additional ink-distributing rollers e<1> are used on the lower part of the cylinder a. The various colours are transferred to the forme by the forme-inking rollers g, preferably three in number, and the border roller h. The rollers g are inked from the strips b<1>, and the border roller h from the fixed bars a<1>. The machine may be adapted for printing in one colour only by arranging the strips or segments b<1> to form a plain surface on the cylinder a.
