Title: Improvements in Web Printing and Folding Machines.
Inventor: ANNAND ROBERT CUMMING
Filed: 1897-09-01
Granted: 1898-08-13
Abstract: 20,117. Annand, R. C. Sept. 1. Associating and collecting apparatus.-Relates to the production of newspapers &c. of ten, twelve, or sixteen pages by means of two printing-machines A, B and folding-apparatus placed between them. In producing an issue of twelve pages by means of the arrangement shown in Fig. 1, the web from the machine A passes uncut to the folding-apparatus, which consists of the longitudinal - fold former c, drawing - roller d, and transverse cutting and folding cylinder f. The machine B is run twice as fast as the machine A and the folding-apparatus. The web from it is cut by the cylinder g, and two sheets are collected by the cylinder h and transferred to the cylinder i, from which they pass up the pathway of tapes l. The roller m<1> consists of fixed discs, driven at the same speed as the folding-apparatus, and loose discs, round which the tapes l pass, and which consequently travel at double the speed. When the leading edges reach the point m they are gripped between the sheets coming from the machine A and the roller m<1>. At the same moment, the run of tapes l is opened by the action of the cam r. To keep the sheets in register, rollers e, p, p<1> are provided ; they are mounted so that they can be adjusted while the machine is in motion. In another form of the apparatus, the machine B is run at half the speed of the machine A and the folding- apparatus. In this case the sheets from the machine B are partially severed and carried to the top of the folder, where they are torn off and assembled with the sheets from the machine A. When a sixteen-page issue is to be produced, both machines are run at full speed, and the webs pass to cutting and collecting cylinders above the folders. For a ten-page paper the machine running at half speed prints on a half web. The apparatus may be used for journals of half the size having twenty, twenty-four, or thirty-two pages.

Wards m may be provided on the plate, the key being suitably notched at n to allow them to pass. To prevent picking, a blind gate o is provided in one or more of the levers, so that, when the remaining levers are moved into register, the shackle will move up slightly, causing the gates o to engage the stump e and prevent further movement of these gated levers until the shackle has been pressed in and all the levers again thrown out of register. The levers may be inverted and pivoted on a pin on the case.
Patent GB-189728157-A (GB)
Title: An Improved Form of Relay applicable to Pneumatic or Electric Organs or to other Apparatus.
Inventor: HOPE-JONES ROBERT
Filed: 1897-11-30
Granted: 1898-11-30
Abstract: 28,157. Hope-Jones, R. Nov. 30. Organs.-The invention relates to a form of relay applicable to organs and other apparatus where a movement started by hand is completed by electric or pneumatic agency. Fig. 1 shows an example of the latter. A is a wind chest containing air under pressure communicating by a port C with a bellows D, and by a port C<2> with a bellows D<2>. The ports are controlled by valves on a rod connected by a friction clamp with a key F. On depressing the outer end of the key, the port C is opened to the atmosphere, and the port C<2> to the chest A. The remainder of the motion of the key is thus effected by the bellows D<2>. The movement is reversed by slightly raising the key. Two modifications of the pneumatic device are shown, in use of which the key is replaced by a sliding draw-stop. Fig. 6 shows an electric device. A is a swell pedal, or other part, a slight movement of which breaks contact between contact-pieces C<2> and G<2>, and makes it between pieces C and G. The pieces C, C<2> are carried by a lever B, the movement of which thus causes a solenoid D<2> to be energized, while the solenoid D is de-energized. The result is the same as in the previous case. Pneumatic levers or electromagnets may be used in place of solenoids.
