Abstract: 6659. Appleton, R. J., and Hatton, W. March 19. Feed - motions.-In feed - motions for talking machines which it is desired to use for records of two different pitches, for example, 100 and 200 threads per inch, the reproducercarriage 3, in place of carrying the usual halfnut, is fitted with a stud on which is mounted a worm-wheel 5 engaging with the feed-screw 6. On a sleeve integral with the worm-wheel 5 is mounted a pulley 8, around which passes a cord 13 attached to standards 11, 12 preferably with a spring 14 interposed. A lock-nut 10 may lock the worm-wheel 5 against rotation, and, the pulley 8 being loose, the speed of the carriage is the same as if a half-nut were used. If, however, the pulley 8 be locked to the wormwheel 5 by a nut 9, and the nut 10 be loosened to free the worm-wheel 5 on the stud, the speed of the carriage is halved, provided the wheels 5, 8 are of the same size. A pinion and rack may be substituted for the pulley and cord.

Granted: 1911-04-13
Abstract: 22,422. Boult, A. J., [Electric Compositor Co.]. Sept. 27. [Addition to 18,382/07.] Justifying matrices and type.-Relates to mechanism for justifying lines of matrices or type of the kind described in the parent Specification, and particularly to the means for selecting and releasing the spacers. The selecting-device consists of a cylinder 14 provided with holes instead of projecting pins as heretofore. The cylinder is secured to a shaft 16, which is capable of rotation and of endlong movement in its bearings. A spring 17 tends to move the shaft to the left and also to turn it, the endlong movement of the shaft being limited by the engagement of its pointed end 15 with a vertically movable stepped wedge 67, which is connected by a lever 66 with a vertically movable rod 84. A pinion 27 on the shaft 16 gears with a rack 28, which is connected by a lever 29 with a vertically movable rod 90. The number of longitudinal rows of holes in the cylinder 14 is equal to the number of teeth of a ratchet-wheel 30 fixed to the shaft 16, and also equal to the number of units of shortage that can be filled out by the various combinations of spacers available. Suitable mechanism, such as that described in the parent Specification, is provided for moving the rods 84, 90, and thus adjusting the position of the cylinder. Setting type; escapements for type-bar making machines. The spacers 1, Fig. 4, are retained in the channels 2 by star-wheels 7, which are normally prevented from turning by pallet-levers 8, to which are connected vertically movable rods 40, of which the upper ends rest beneath the cylinder 14. The ends of the pallet-levers are held down by a long rotatable cam 50 which is held in operative position by a spring 56 surrounding a rod 57. When the cylinder 14 has been adjusted, a vertically movable rod 41 rises and causes a spring-pressed plunger to engage the ratchet-wheel 30. The cam 50 is then rotated so that a depression on its surface comes opposite to the ends of the pallet - levers 8. Those levers 8 of which the rods 40 are opposite to holes in the cylinder are thereupon raised by spring plungers 51 so that the escapements are actuated to release the corresponding spacers. The star-wheels are held in alinement by a bar 63, which is carried by arms 61, and is raised by an arm on the cam 50 to permit the wheels to turn. Pawls 10 prevent rotation of the starwheels in the reverse direction.
