Type, setting and distributing ; linotype and lilce machines.-Relates to means for ejecting single types or matrices in type setting, distributing, or justifying machines, and linotype and like machines, or for ejecting a type from a mould in which it is cast. Fig. 1 shows the apparatus applied to a type-setting machine, in which the types are ejected singly from the lower ends of channels B into the guide or race C, by the ejectors E. The front end e of the ejector enters the opening b<1> in the channel. The rear part e<1> of the ejector is hinged at e<2> to the forward part, and is formed as a yoke having ratchet teeth e<4>. The parts e<1> of the ejectors are guided by the vertically-slotted bars D', D<3> of the framing. Passing through the toothed openings of the ejectors is a revolving toothed roller F, which is normally in the untoothed gaps e<5> of the ejectors, as shown. The ejectors are held up in normal position by levers g pivoted at g<2> and engaged by the upper ends of rods J connected to the key levers H. When a key lever is depressed, the lever g swings from under its ejector, and the letter drops into engagement with the roller F, by which it is moved forward to eject a type and then returned to normal position with the gap e<5> under the roller. Specification No. 4967, A.D. 1900, describes the application of the invention to a distributing-machine.

Title: Improvements in Machines for Making Wire Hoops.
Inventor: DICE ANDREW F
Filed: 1902-02-13
Granted: 1902-07-31
Abstract: 3732. Dice, A. F. Aug. 23, A.D. 1901, [date applied for under Patents Act, A.D. 1901]. Bending.-A machine for making wire hoops is arranged to feed the wire from a coil into a circular former in which it is held while cut, the overlapping ends being twisted to form the joint, which is then bent to the curvature of the hoop in separate dies. The feed-rolls 23 are continuously driven, but are normally pressed apart out of contact with the wire W. The amount of feed is regulated by the length of an interchangeable cam on a shaft below the table 20. The feed-rolls draw the wire between straightening-rolls 22 and feed it through a passage 75, Fig. 10, to a former ring 73 with an undercut groove. When the initial end overlaps sufficiently, the feed is stopped, and camoperated jaws 91, 93 are moved against stationary jaws 92, 94 to grip the wire, the jaw 92 having a cutting-edge 103, to sever the wire. Simultaneously, an inner semicircular former 72 is moved outwards, to hold the wire in the undercut groove, a ,second former or guide 71 being fixed. The overlapping ends of the hoop rest in a slot 111, Fig. 16, with hardened faces 122 in a pinion 110 which is given, say, two revolutions, to twist the joint in opposite directions at opposite sides, as indicated at H, Fig. 1. The former 72 is then moved inwards, to release the hoop, which is then partially ejected from the ring between the formers by a forked arm 133 with V-ends engaging the wire. The forked end of the arm has a vertical reciprocating movement imparted to it by a cam lever and a horizontal reciprocating 'movement imparted to it by cam tracks 143 with spring switches in which pins 139 on the arm engage. The twisted joint is then bent to the curvature of the hoop between a fixed block 150 and a reciprocating block 151. The pivot 155 of the operating-lever of the block 151 is extended to support the hoop while being bent, and serves as a tipping-device when the hoop is released. The machine may bend hoops of various sizes by making the former 73 in segments adjustable on a base-plate. The machine is driven from a pulley 42, suitable countershafts and cam shafts being mounted in the framing below the table.

Abstract: 8239. Dunlop, J. D. April 9. Signals, marine and ship.-Relates to an actuating or regulating device for use in connection with sound signals, by which, with the use of a code, a ship is enabled to communicate its course to another ship. A wheel &c. a is provided with handles &c. b, upon which are represented particular symbols b<1> of the code. On the hub c of the wheel is arranged a compass card, each of the handles lying radially in the field between a principal and a cardinal point. On a web d<1> of the wheel are formed teeth d, which mesh with teeth e in the upper part of the supporting-column f<1>. Normally, the teeth are in engagement, and two of the handles lie in the lubber line of the ship. The wheel is turned to indicate the ship's course, and the motion of the wheel is transmitted by the engagement of the angular pin k with a socket to a shaft h, which actuates a whistle or other sounding-device, so as to give the required signal. The shaft h is supported on the head i of the column f<1> by means of a spindle j fitted with roller wheels. The teeth d, e, Fig. 4, are so formed that when the wheel is turned to indicate a course near or on a cardinal or principal point, the points of the teeth are not in a vertical line. On the release of the wheel, the teeth slide relatively to each other, and turn the wheel towards the port side.
