Inventor: DUNN WILLIAM JOHN
IPC: B44C7/04
Filed: 1913-12-04
Granted: 1915-03-18
Abstract: 27,950. Dunn, W. J., and Taylor, H. B. Dec. 4. Paper-hangers tools.-Relates to improved transportable and dismountable apparatus for trimming and pasting wall paper &c., matching the pasted paper, and applying it to the wall &c. The trimming and pasting device is similar to those described in Specifications 9453/11 and 26,534/11, and is supported by means of a rod 15 mounted on links 16 attached to brackets 17 on the side wall of a casing 11. The opposite side 13 is hinged to the base as shown, and the top 14 is hinged to it. The pasting and other apparatus is supported in the working position shown in full lines by struts 18, 19 and can be turned down into the dotted-line position when inoperative. Two similar side plate3 21 are connected together by stay-bolts 22 supporting a paste reservoir, in which a roller 24 dips. The paper passes up from a roll 66 between rollers 25 on which are mounted edge trimmers 26, below the reservoir to a roller 27, over the roller 24, and then to rollers 31, 28, 29, 30. The pasted paper is fed, in a convenient position for lifting to the wall &c., on to a smooth apron 34 held in place by a jointed rod 35. The paste is more evenly distributed over the paper by the pressure of a knurled roller 41 mounted in links 42 and held against the paper by springs. Excess of paste is removed by pivoted flat sheet-metal scrapers 43, under the scraping-edges 47 of which the edges of the paper travel. The parts are driven from a manuallyoperated crank 50, gearing being provided so that each succeeding pair of rolls handling the paper travels at a slightly greater speed than the rolls immediately preceding and so maintains the paper at the right tension. To prevent the end of the paper from being accidentally run through the machine so that its end could not be readily attached to the beginning of the new roll, a detector mechanism, acting on a diminution of the tension, is provided, consisting of a gravity pawl 75 which is normally held out of engagement with the gear-wheel on the lower feed-roll 25 by means of a roller 76 resting on the paper. The feed-rolls are mounted on split pivots 82, passing through the slits of which and the side plates 21 are small pins 85. Nuts 84, which tighten the pivots on the pins 85, normally hold the rolls in place.

Title: Improved Construction of Hydraulic Pump, Motor or like Apparatus.
Inventor: CAREY ROBERT FALKLAND
IPC: F01B13/06
Filed: 1914-02-13
Granted: 1914-08-27
Abstract: 3827. Carey, R. F. Feb. 13. Revolving - cylinder pumps.- In hydraulic pumps or motors of any revolving - cylinder type, in which balls or rollers are used instead of cylindrical pistons, and are controlled by eccentric tracks, a separate track is provided between the pistons and the eccentric track, and revolving with the pistons. Fig. 1 shows a radial revolving-cylinder apparatus in which the capacity is varied by the adjustment of the central valve 1. The ball pistons 3 bear against a free ring or track 4 which runs on ball bearings 5 on a fixed eccentric track 6. In the form shown in Fig. 3, the revolving ring 12 is overhung on ball bearings 5. The normally fixed tracks 6 are mounted on an eccentric 12<a> which can be adjusted re'atively to the fixed valve 1 in order to obtain variable delivery. In the form shown in Fig. 4, the tracks 6 upon which the rings 4 revolve are connected to a frame 8 with cross-bar 11, by which the tracks 6 can be moved so as to vary their eccentricity and therefore the stroke. In the form shown in Fig. 6, the track 6 is placed in an inclined position, the freely revolving track 4 being also inclined. The path of the balls 3 on the ring 4 is therefore an ellipse so that two strokes of the pistons per revolution are produced. In another modification, Fig. 9, the cylinders are arranged axially, each cylinder having two pistons 3 controlled by oppositely inclined plates 6. The freely revolving plates are shown at 4. The plates 6 may have their inclina. tion varied by turning about trunnions 18, which is done by means of links 19, 20, 21.

Abstract: 8688. Justice, P. M., [Duell, H. S.]. April 6. Type-bar actions.-In actions in which a weight or momentum accumulator is provided for imparting the final or printing - movement to the type-carrier independently of the keyl e v e r , a permanent pivotal connexion is provided between the keylever and the intermediate mechanism actuating the type-carrier. (1) As applied to a sliding type-bar action, the weight 35 is secured to a link 21 connecting the usual toggle-lever 16 with a bell-crank lever 23, which is connected by links 27, 28 to the key-lever 5, the link 27 being pivoted at 26 to the lever 23 and normally engaging ears 38 thereon. On depressing the key-lever, the weight is swung to the rear, and on arrest of the key-lever by a stop 36, the momentum of the weight completes t h e printing-stroke by bring- ing the link 21 into alinement with the lever 23 and straightening the toggle 13, 16, the pivot 26 permitting the lever 23 to move independently of the key-lever. At the end of the printing-stroke, the ears 38 strike a felt stop 51, and the lever 23 rebounds and withdraws the type-bar smartly from the platen, thereby preventing blurring of the impression, the withdrawal being aided by a returning- spring 37 connected to the pivot 26. The pivotal connexion 26 permits the withdrawal to be effected if the key-lever is held depressed. On release of the key-lever, the action is restored to the normal position by a spring 7 and the spring 37. The return movement of the weight is cushioned by a pad 54. The levers 23, 16 and the links 13, 27 each consist, as shown in Fig. 4, of two side-members connected by cross-pins or pivots. (2) To reduce friction, the plate x is made from a rustless nickel allov and is formed with erasure-catching grooves 11, and the guide-plate 10 is provided with a wire 12 which holds the heels of the type-bars slightly above the guide-plate. Keys. - The pivots 17, 24 of the levers 16, 23 are carried by blocks 18 which can be moved to adjust the impression, each block being for this purpose mounted in a groove 29 in the main frame and being engaged by a collar 31 on an adjusting-screw 32. The series of blocks are secured by screws 33 provided with washers 34 engaging adjacent blocks. Letter-spacing mechanism.-The universal bar 39 is actuated by being engaged by the ears 38 of the lever 23 after the key-lever has been arrested by the stop 36, the operative and return movements of the universal bar being thus rendered independent of the key-lever. The universal bar is formed with legs 40 carried by parallel links 41, 42 which constrain the universal bar to maintain an horizontal position. An arm 46 on the universal bar moves between adjustable stops 47, 48 carried by a bracket 49.

The pawl 7 is prevented from backward motion by a fixed pawl 26 on a lever 24, which can be moved out of engagement with the wheel 3 by an arm 35 on a lever 23, which at its inner end has an inclined face 34 for simultaneously withdrawing the pawl 7 from the wheel 3. The pawl 26 may also be withdrawn from the ratchet-wheel by the falling, under oil or like friction, of a weighted cylinder 14 which has been drawn up by the movement of the rod 1 and then released. The tooth 26 is held away from the wheel 3 by a notch 30 in a pendent lever 31 engaging a pin 29 in the lever 24. The lever 23 is actuated to release the wheel 3, when the engine starts, by a rod 36, Fig. 5, connected by a bellcrank 37, 38 to an horizontal sliding member 39, 41, which is moved by a carriage 42 bearing brake blocks 46 pressed against a disk 44 when the carriage 42 is raised by a ball governor acting through levers 61, 62. Motion of the carriage in either direction moves the member 39, 41 to the left. Means is provided whereby the pawl 7 may not be withdrawn from the wheel 3 when the engine starts. In a modified form of cancelling- mechanism, Fig. 8, a floating lever 74 is raised by a pull on the rope to bring and hold a disk 76 against an engine-driven disk 44. When the lever 74 is allowed to fall, the disks 44, 76 are disengaged and the indicator put back to zero.
