Patent GB-191229729-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in and relating to Multiple Ploughs.
Inventor: COLLINGS JOHN MARIS BENJAMIN
IPC: A01B73/00
Filed: 1912-12-24
Granted: 1913-12-18
Abstract: 29,729. Collings, J. M. B. Dec. 24. Ploughs; harrows.- In a multiple - furrow plough, the plough bodies are arranged in such a way as to allow of the connexion of a harrow or other implement at the side, and special means are provided for raising the ploughs and simultaneously putting the harrow &c. out of action. The ploughs are lifted by means of a weighted cam-shaped or eccentric wheel e loosely mounted on a shaft b and normally held out of action by a spring catch f engaging an arm h. When the catch f is moved by pulling a rope g, the wheel e turns into contact with the ground and lifts the frame a as the plough moves forward. A landwheel d on the cranked end of the shaft b falls into place and supports the frame in its raised position, backward rotation of the shaft b being prevented by the engagement of a tooth or teeth i with a pawl j, which may be moved by means of a rope k. The momentum of the cam-wheel e carries it round into its original position. The depth of work is regulated by means of a screw l engaging an arm m on the shaft b. The cam-wheel e has fixed to it an eccentric n, the strap o of which is connected by a chain p to mechanism for putting out of operation any machine drawn by the plough. The rear plough q is placed behind the line of the other ploughs r and is separated from them by an interval greater than that between the front ones so that harrow teeth on a bar s at the side may enter the ground in advance of it.

Abstract: 4021. Kilburn, B. E. D., [Office Appliance Manufacturing Co.]. Feb. 17. Damping-machines.-Relates to machines for closing envelopes, and includes special means for damping the flaps as the envelopes are fed through the machine. A stack of envelopes is placed on a table 10 and rests partly on the end of a cylinder 46 carried by a vertical bearing 45. When the cylinder is rotated, fingers pivoted within it are projected and open the flap of the lowermost envelope and turn it down to be gripped between the cylinder and a co-operating roller 88 which feed the envelope from the stack. A damping-roller 43 and a co-acting roller 94 then seize the flap, damp it, and feed the envelope to the sealing-rollers. The lower end of the damping-roller 43, Fig. 6, is situated in a water-trough 23 and spiral grooves 100 around the roller convey water to the top thereof which applies it to the flaps. A plate 101 carried by an arm 103 partly surrounds the roller and is provided with spiral grooves internally, which are preferably inclined in the opposite direction to the grooves 100 on the roller 43 and assist the water to rise in them. The roller 94 is carried by a plate 89 held by a leaf-spring 97. The roller 43 is rotated by the chain gearing shown in Fig. 2 from a hand-turned shaft 24, or from a motordriven shaft 29.

Granted: 1915-08-19
Abstract: 19,049. Sewell, H. W., Brooker, H., and Brooker & Co., T. H. Aug. 25. Feeding and registering webs.-Relates to the apparatus for delivering postage stamps &c. from a continuous strip described in Specification 10,603/13, and consists chiefly in the provision of a positive connexion between the stripfeeder 14 and the delivery slot obstructor 18 whereby the strip-feeder is positively locked in engagement with the strip throughout the feedstroke, and the movement of the strip-feeder into the disengaged position must be accompanied by a simultaneous movement of the obstructor into the engaged position. As described in the above-mentioned Specification, the strip is fed along the guide-plate 2 by pins 12 on the arm 14 pivoted to a lever 16, Fig. 1, operated by a handle 13, and the obstructor 18 is depressed to permit the forward movement of the strip by the engagement of a cam-projection 23 on the lever 16 with a pin on the obstructor; and a lateral projection 24, Figs. 8 and 9, on the feed-arm 14 works under a fixed cam 25. The obstructor 18 is now provided with a curved extension 26 formed with a channel 28. During the feeding movement, this channel forms a continuation of the cam 25, as shown in Fig. 8, so that the projection 24 has entered the channel 28 when the pin on the obstructor escapes from the cam 23, whereupon the upward movement of the obstructor into the locking position under the. action of the spring 20 lifts the pins 12 out of engagement with the strip and places the projection 24 in position above the cam 25, as shown in Fig. 9. If the member 26 is extended laterally, the cam 25 can be dispensed with. The delivery aperture 21, Fig. 1, is displaced laterally relatively to the feed-strip, so that the purchaser can only grasp one corner of the stamp. When the stamp strip is exhausted, an arm 38, Fig. 3, connected to a weighted lever 40 passes up through the guideplate 2, the corresponding movement of the lever 40 serving to close the coin slot or to display an empty notice 41.

Granted: 1915-07-29
Abstract: 19,843. Adkins, J. C. Sept. 16. Mechanical toys.-A mechanical toy windmill is operated by sand falling from a hopper M in the upper chamber B on to a paddlewheel G fixed to a spindle which is mounted in the walls of the lower chamber A and carries the sails. The spent sand falls into an inclined trough C and is received in an outside receptacle, thus giving t h e impression that the mill is actually grinding. The structure may be either square or round in section, and half the roof J on one side of the chamber B is hinged to allow the sand to be placed in the hopper. The sand passes from the hopper through an opening in the floor K, and the supply is regulated by means of a lever. The sails are fixed to cross-pieces which are secured to a plate on the spindle. The paddle-wheel G may be made by cutting a tin disk half-way through the centre and bending the sections round to form small scoops. The sails may be detachable for convenience in packing.
