Abstract: 6045. Coyle, J. W. March 11. Pile tables and supports for sheet feeds; sheet separators a n d carriers. - Mechanism for feeding sheets alternately in different directions to separate folding-devices, in the machine described in Specification 7857 / 12 for making cartons &c., is modified by employi n g (1) reciprocating feed rollers which are alternately locked against rotation so as to cause the locked roller to feed off the top sheet of the pile frictionally; (2) an adjust able bar or gauge in conjunction with each pair of blank-forwarding rollers to prevent the passage of more than one blank; and (3) a spring - pressed member resting on the reciprocating carriage in which the feed rollers are mounted to control the raising of the pile supports. The feed rollers e, f, Fig. 1, are mounted in a carriage g carrying a slide h, which can move longitudinally in a carriage g and is connected by a stud j to a lever i actuated by a pawl lever d<3>, such as is described in the beforementioned Specification, which actuates a ratchet on the screw to raise the pile table. The stud j is carried by a block j<1> moving over a guide j<2>, and passes through a hole j<3> in the slide h. As the lever i moves in the direction of the arrow in Fig. 4, the slide h moves relatively to the carriage g and causes a pawl k mounted on the slide to engage a ratchet k<1> on roller e, which is thus held from rotating as the carriage g begins to move, and the top sheet is fed forwards past an adjustablymounted gauge o into the bite of feed rollers m, n arranged as shown in Fig. 1. The bars or gauges o are carried by brackets q pressed by springs r against adjustable screws p. As soon as the sheet is pulled by the rollers m, n, the carriage g is pulled forwards relatively to the slide h, and the pawl k is disengaged from the ratchet rollerk<1> of the roller e. The carriage h is finally arrested by a fixed stop l. On the reverse movement of lever i, the feed roller f is held from rotation by the second pawl k and the sheet is fed in the reverse direction in a similar manner. The pawl d<2> driving the ratchet d<1> for raising the pile table is controlled by an arm t acting on a cam on a curved arm u<1> on which the pawl d<2> rides. The arm t is on a spring-pressed pivot s<1> provided with an arm s having a free end s<2> which rests upon the carriage g, the height of which thus controls the movements of the pile table.

Granted: 1914-12-24
Abstract: 27,919. Spirella Co., [Spirella Co.]. Dec. 4. Riveting.-A machine for attaching studs to strips particularly corset stays, comprises a movable upsetting-plunger and automatically operated separable means for carrying a stud towards and away from the plunger, such means being constructed to move towards each other to grip the stud and to release it during their movement towards and away from the pluuger respectively. The various mechanisms are actuated by cams on a shaft 5, Fig. 1, driven through worm gearing from a shaft 10 which is connected by a clutch 11 to a pulley 12. The stud-carrying slide is operated by a rod 39 yieldingly connected to the section 48 and at its rear end formed with a yoke 43 which embraces the shaft 5. The rod is actuated against a spring 46 by a cam 45 bearing against a roller 44 on the rod. Similarly, the stud-feeding slide is actuated by a rod GO connected to a spring-controlled cam-operated lever 61. The upsetting-plunger 1 forms one end of a lever 17, the other end of which carries an adjustable block 20 held against an egg-shaped cam 21. The plunger has an upsetting-die 25, Fig. 7, pivoted in an adjustable holding block 26 so that the die moves in a true vertical path. A spring 31 holds the die normally in one position in its socket. The studs are fed to a raceway 57 from a hopper 54, Figs. 1 and 5, having a V-shaped bottom with a shouldered way 5G therein, by a lip 58 on a slide 55 which is slotted to allow the studs to fall through. A transfer gate 67 is situated at the bottom of the raceway 57 along which the passage of the studs is promoted by a pivoted spring-pressed hammer 78 actuated by a pin on the face of the cam 21. The gate 67 is pivoted on a stud 68, Fig. 6, and is oscillated to allow a stud to pass to the carrying slide by a spring-pressed hook member 70 carried by the upsetting-plunger, the member 70 co-operating with inclined surfaces 71, 72 formed at one side of the gate. The inner face of the gate is cut away to form a pocket having a slot 73 for the passage of the studs, and its curved lower edge has a slot 74 into which projects a pin 75 mounted on the base of the machine to limit the swinging movement of the gate. The stud-carrying slide, Figs. 1 and 3, comprises two sections 48, 49 sliding in guides in a block 37, the two sections being connected for limited relative horizontal movement by bolts 50. The section 49 has a friction member 51 forced against the block 37 by a spring 52 so that in the movement of the slide to the right, the section 49 drags behind until overtaken by the section 48 to close the gripping dies 32, 33, Fig. 8, carried by the sections 48, 49 respectively. A stop 53 positions the stud carried by the slide under the die 25 where a corset stay is placed over the stud which is then riveted over.
