Patent GB-190409737-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in Tripping Mechanism for Printing Machines.
Inventor: NEWTON HENRY EDWARD
Filed: 1904-04-28
Granted: 1904-06-16
Abstract: 9737. Newton, H. E., [Hoe, R.]. April 28. Cylinder machines with plane printing-surfaces; rotary machines.-The impression cylinders, more particularly of rotary, but also of flat-bed, printing-machines, may be tripped out of and into contact with the printing-surfaces for one or more revolutions, either automatically or as desired. A toothed pawl-carrier 12, carrying the pawl 13, and running loose on the shaft 6, is reciprocated through half a revolution by an oscillating segment 16, actuated from a cam 19 on the side of the impression cylinder 2. The pawl 13 is allowed to engage, when desired, with one of two slots 21 in a collar fixed to the shaft in front of the oscillating segment 12, and thereby turns through one half revolution cranks 7 fixed at each end of the shaft, which actuate, through links 9 and levers 5, the eccentric bushes 4 in which the shaft 3 of the impression cylinder 2 is mounted, thereby moving the cylinder 2 alternately into and out of contact with the printing-surface. To control the engaging of the pawl 13 with the slots 21, a cam-plate 26, having an extension 27 with a handle 32, is mounted loosely on the shaft, and lifts the pawl 13 out of gear with the collar in which the notches 21 are formed for a short time by the roller 28, when the pawl is in its most backward position, thereby preventing it from falling into the notch. The working-edge of this cam is sufficiently long that, when moved into a position to allow the pawl 13 to act, it lifts a locking-pawl 23, hinged to the framework, out of engagement with one of two narrower slots 25 in the collar fixed to the shaft, by engaging with a roller 29, and it also prevents the pawl 23 from dropping into the wide slots 21. The pawl 13 in its extreme forward position pushes the camplate 26, by a projection 30, into its original position, allowing the locking-pawl 23 to act, and preventing further action of the pawl 13 on its next stroke, unless the plate 26 is automatically or otherwise pulled over, for which purpose a spring 31 may be provided, to be hooked on to the handle 32, while, to keep the mechanism definitely in its locked position, a catch 33 may be provided.

Granted: 1905-06-20
Abstract: 13,969. Riddle, H. S. June 20. Heating by electricity.-Vulcanizers and other apparatus are closed electromagnetically and heated electrically. In Fig. 1, apparatus is shown for moulding and vulcanizing pneumatic tyres. The mould may be made of cast iron, and consists of two parts 10, closed and heated by means of the magnetizing-coils 14, 15, 16, 17. Closing may be effected by a direct current, and heating by an alternating current. Fig. 3 shows the mould as closed by means of the linkwork shown, actuated by a solenoid 27, heating being effected by coils 31, 32 preferably traversed by an alternating current, which heats not only by resistance but by hysteresis and eddy currents. Rubber tubes are formed on a mandrel and heated either by coils or by a current passed through the mandrel itself. Fig. 9 shows an oven for vulcanizing or similar purposes made on these principles. The door is closed by means of coils 55, and the oven is heated by currents in coils 52.

Patent GB-190427825-A (GB)
Title: Means for Separating Coffee or other Beans, Pulse and Granular or other Materials.
Inventor: FAIRWEATHER WALLACE
Filed: 1904-12-20
Granted: 1905-02-09
Abstract: 27,825. Fairweather, W., [Groff-Maas Manufacturing Co]. Dec. 20. Separating or sorting.- Coffee or other beans, pulse, and granular or other materials to be separated are scattered in a single thick layer on a picking - table, and the defective grains are removed by a pneumatic suction tube having a capacity to pick out only single bodies. The material is placed in a hopper B, whence it escapes through an opening adjustable by a sliding door 78 on to an oscillating feed-tray C, consisting of an inclined corrugated plate 68 suspended by flexible bars 69, 70 and oscillated continuously by a rod 74 eccentrically journalled_on the driving-shaft 77. The material passes to the apron D, which is made in three sections with intervening Raps and is mounted on two endless chains 5, 6, Fig. 4, passing over sprockets 7, 8, 9, 10, two 9, 10 of which can be adjusted in position by bolts 16. The sprockets 7, 8 are mounted on a shaft 18 on which a pulley 27, driven from the shaft 77, is loosely mounted. This pulley is connected to the shaft by a clutch 31 operated by a lever 46, Fig, 7, which is connected at its end to one of two togglelevers 43, 44. These levers normally hold the clutch 31 in gear, and are tripped at intervals by the slotted lever 53 engaging with a stud 52 on the cog-wheel 50, Figs. 7 and 8, which is driven by the cog-wheel 49 on the shaft 8 ; the clutch 31 is then pulled out of gear by the spring 56. The cog-wheels 49, 50 and the slotted lever 53 are so arranged that the apron is thus stopped when one of the gaps is opposite the end of the feed-tray. The defective beans are then removed by the pneumatic pickers mentioned above. These consist of bent metal tubes 127, Fig. 1, with an opening 129 to receive the beans surrounded by perforations 130. An opening 129<1> which can be closed by the thumb serves to regulate the draught through the opening 129. These tubes are connected by flexible tubes 125, 126 and stiff tubes 122, 123 with a receptacle E from which the air is drawn by a fan F. A perforated partition 120 prevents the beans from being drawn into the fan. When the defective beans have been thus removed, the clutch 31 is thrown into connection again by the treadle 57, which acts through the rod 59 and the striking-lever 64 on the toggle-levers 43, 44. While the defective beans are being picked off, the beans coming down the feed-tray fall through one of the gaps in the apron on to the conveyer 95, Fig. 4, which is driven from the main shaft 77, and delivers the beans through the pipe 109, Fig. 1, to the elevator 110, Fig. 4, for return to the hopper B.

Title: Improvements in the Separation of Metalliferous Minerals from Gangue.
Inventor: SULMAN HENRY LIVINGSTONE
Filed: 1904-12-31
Granted: 1905-07-13
Abstract: 29,374. Sulman, H. L., Picard, H. F. Kirkpatrick-, and Ballot, J. Dec. 31. Washing ores.-Metalliferous matter is separated from gangue by mixing with oily or tarry matter,. exposing to air, and mixing with water or other liquid, when the oiled metalliferous matter floats and the gangue, to which the oil does not adhere, sinks. The ore, ground fine and mixed with oil &c., is led by the pipe L, Fig. 1, into a vanning- table A, which is oscillated by the cam D and the spring F. Water is supplied from a channel H with perforations H<1>, and air or gas is blown into the mass through the perforated pipes N. The unoiled gangue escapes into the launder K, guided by strips A<4>, while the oiled metalliferous matter floats over into the launder J. An alternative form of apparatus is shown in Fig. 2. A concave band R passes over rollers R<1> on an oscillating frame R<2>, and through a water trough S. The oiled mineral is fed on to the lower end of the band, the oiled metalliferous matter floating into the launder W, and the gangue being carried into the trough S. In some instances, the crushed matter or the air currents may be heated to enhance the effects.
