Title: Improvements in Platen Printing Machines.
Inventor: HADDON WALTER
Filed: 1904-12-29
Granted: 1905-11-02
Abstract: 28,692. Haddon, W., and Larder, F. T. Dec. 29. Platen presses; delivery apparatus; inking - apparatus; make-ready arrangements. - In a platen press, the platen is removable for makeready, and is balanced by the travelling inkrollers, and the sheets are delivered below the platen and at the front of the machine, printed side up, by grippers on jointed arms having a wristlike action. The inking - apparatus is actuated only when the machine runs in one direction, and the rider roller has a wobbling motion given by eccentric bearings. The travelling ink-rollers are arranged to remain stationary on the distributing-roller for a short time. The machine is driven by treadles a<5>, Fig. 3, operating a shaft a<1> through connecting- rods &c. The shaft a<1> drives the main shaft a<9> through spur-wheels, and the crank-pins b being revolved give a reciprocating motion to the platen frame b<8>, pivoted on the shaft b<9>. The platen b<12>, Fig. 5, is fixed to the frame b<8> by a screw b<13> and adjusting-screws b<14>, so that it may be removed for making ready at the same time as the press is being prepared. The traveliing rollers d and their fittings d<2>, d<3>, d<4> pivot loosely on the shaft a<9>, and are balanced by the platen and its fittings. The rollers d are arranged to remain a short time in their uppermost position on the distributing, roller c<9>, as follows :-The lower end d<8> of the connecting-rod d<7> is slotted, and has a pivot e<7>, on which is a bell crank e<6>, having a slot e<13> in which the shaft b<5> works. As the shaft b<5> moves downwards, the toe e<9> slides on the face of the fixed part e<3> and the part e' pivoted at e<1>, until the toe e<9> releases the catch e<8> and allows the part e' to move about its pivot. Further downward motion of the shaft b<5> then merely tilts the bell crank, until on the return motion the parts regain their original position under the pressure of springs. The sheets are delivered by grippers g<1>, g<8>, Fig. 10. The upper jaw g<8> is pivoted at g<9> to the lower jaw, and is spring-closed except when held open by a fixed stop g<16>, retracting through a lever the link g<12>, or when the cam-actuated stop h<4> does the same thing when the gripper is in its uppermost position. The lower gripper g<1> is pivoted at g<2> to a curved lever f<12>, pivoted at f<11> and oscillated by a cam f and levers &c. The grippers are passed up below the edge of the platen, and a lever g<3>, pivoted at g<4> and controlled by a spring g<7>, meets the shaft b<9>, and through the gears g<5>, g<6> brings the grippers g<1> against the platen. The inking-apparatus is driven through a shaft c<8>, Fig. 3, on which the distributing-roller c<9> is mounted, and which can only be turned one way by a pawl on the spur-wheel c<10> engaging a recess in the shaft. The rider roller i<2> is provided with eccentric bearings running in the forks i<3>, and so receives a wobbling motion.

Filed: 1905-05-22
Granted: 1905-10-12
Abstract: 10,706. Fichet, A., and Heurtey, R. May 22. Generators or producers.-A gas - producing apparatus comprises two superposed gas-producers of different diameters with a separate air supply and common gas outlet. The top of the lower producer b forms the base of the upper producer a, a central opening being formed for the passage of fuel from one to the other. The fuel is fed in at the top of the producer a in which is arranged a series of concentric and perforated chambers m, n, p ; these chambers form zones for the supply of fuel and air, and may be cooled at their bases by means of water-pipes r. The lower producer is fed continuously with partly burnt fuel from the upper producer, and the gas produced collects in a space v formed above the fuel in the lower producer. The lower producer may have a revolving grate if the cinders are not easily fusible, but if they tend to form large clinkers, limestone may be used as a flux and the bottom of the producer is then formed like a furnace with hearth, tapping- hole, and tuyeres.
Patent GB-190511975-A (GB)
Title: Calculating Machine.
Inventor: JOHANSON ADOLF MAGNUS
Filed: 1905-06-07
Granted: 1906-02-22
Abstract: 11,975. Johanson, A. M., and Hultman, I. June 8, 1904, [date applied for under Patents Act, 1901]. Calculating-apparatus. - In multiplying-machines of the cam - ring and pin-disk type, locking-wheels on one of the wheels of the driven train are associated with cam-surfaces on the disk and ring, respectively, the wheels being interlocked at the carrying-points. Setting- knobs sliding in straight grooves rotate the rings when in the normal position only by means of screw-and-nut and worm-wheel gearing. Upon the main disks a with their driving-pins b, Figs. 1 and 3, are fixed the locking-cams a<1>, extending from one end of the pin arc round the-disk to the other, and a second cam r<1> on the cam-ring r is brought by the setting-means close to the last pin which is in operative position, both these cams being radially of such height that they approach closely the curved surfaces of the locking-wheel f and thereby lock the figure wheels save when the pins are driving the wheel d. Suitable gaps a<0>, r<0> in the cams allow the locking-wheels to move during transfer, which is effected by a staggered arrangement of transfer teeth upon the main disks, together with a transfer-pinion locking-cam. The cam-ring r may be shifted relatively to its main disk by means of a worm s, mounted on the disk and engaging pins p on the ring, and when the driving-handle is in its rest position the tail s<1> of the worm enters a slot k<1> at the forked end of a screwed spindle k, whereby the sliding of a nut h along a graduated scale determines the number of pins projected. This can only be done at the stated position of the handle by reason of a flange l on the disk adjacent to the worm and provided with a slot l<0> which only gives room for the forked end to rotate when the main disks are in normal position. In modifications, the locking- wheels may be placed upon other wheels of the train.

Abstract: 774. Ferranti, S. Z. de, Field, M. B., Garrard, C. C., and Ferranti, Ltd. Jan. 11. Electro-magnetic meters.-Instruments working on the induction principle are provided with conductive disks of varying thickness whereby even or other desired scales may be produced. The application to a volt-meter is shown in Fig. 3. The thicker part of the disk a is arranged to be acted on by the coils b when the pointer d is at the lower end of the scale c. As the voltage increases, the disk turns so that a continuously decreasing thickness of metal is acted on. By this means, the indications of the instrument may be made to follow an approximately linear, instead of a square, law. The disk may be produced by rotating a disk, originally of uniform thickness, with part of its lower half shielded in an electrolytic bath, and varying the current during the rotation, so that any desired variation of thickness may be obtained ; or the current may be kept constant and the speed of rotation varied. An aluminium disk may be cut by a tool guided by a hard steel pattern.
