Abstract: 4143. Mackley, C. T. Feb. 19. Damping-appliances, hand.-A tray for damping copying-sheets is divided by an imperforate partition l into a lower water-compartment c and an upper damping-compartment d. Water is drawn from the lower compartment and forced into the upper by a pump p or like device through a pipe r. The bottom of the upper compartment is raised around the mouth of the pipe r. The upper compartment contains a layer of cloth, felt, &c. j attached to the walls of the vessel, an impermeable annular disk m, and layers of blotting-paper h. In a modification, water is supplied to an intermediate chamber z, Fig. 3, above the partition l and is distributed by wicks or sponges v. Excess of liquid passes back into the compartment c by a pipe q. The water from the pump p may be distributed on the upper surface of the sheets h. An aseptic liquid is used in the apparatus.

Granted: 1911-01-18
Abstract: 1343. Gifford, A. J. Jan. 18, 1909, [Convention date]. Drilling-machines.-Sensitive and like drilling-machines have means whereby the tensions on the driving-belts which are at an angle are automatically equalized, or the powers transmitted might be equalized. A countershaft bearing a coned pulley 14 and driving-belt 18 is supported in a block 24, which is capable of slight oscillatory motion about a socket 28 in one plane, and can be adjusted to and from the frame of the machine through a slot 23 in the arms 21, 22 by a screw 25 and nut 26. The shaft is driven from a pulley 12, and drives a pulley 19 on the drill shaft 20 through a quarter-turn belt 18. As the drive is transmitted, the block 24, being capable of motion, assumes a position to equalize automatically the tensions in the belts 15, 18, and this position of the countershaft is fixed by tightening the screw 30. Allowing for the slip of the belts, the powers transmitted may be equalized by adjusting the socket 28 by screw 29.

Abstract: 8715. Knapp, F. H., and Leister, W. H. April 7. Coating - machines. - In pasting cans, boxes, &c., with lids, prior to labelling them, the paste is applied around the can in such a way as to force the paste between the flange and the can. The cans from a shoot 5, Fig. 1, are spaced apart by a feed-roller 14 and fed by travelling belts 11, which rotate the cans, along the runways 34, 53, 99. The lid-end of the can is pasted by a longitudinal roller 33, which forces paste underneath the flange, a longitudinal line of paste is applied by a transverse roller 44, the upper label of a pile is picked up by this line of paste, the lap-end of the label is pasted by a band 68, and the label is rolled round the can by presser bands 101 pressing the can against a felt-pad 100. The pasting- rollers 33, 44 are supported in a common paste receptacle 29, which is adjustable vertically and longitudinally. The lap-end pasting-belt 68 is moved through a paste receptacle 60 by a drum 67, Fig. 12, and passes over pulleys 68<b>, 71 on a bar 64 extending across the machine and carried by the receptacle 60 so that the pasting- device may be removed as a whole from the machine.

The shaft 150<1> drives through universal joints, and is formed in two parts connected by a pin and slot to allow of adjustment, and with a detachable pin-and-slot engagement to allow the shaft to be disconnected from the pasting-device.
Patent GB-191111772-A (GB)
Title: Apparatus for the Conversion of Motion According to One Law into Motion According to Another Law.
Inventor: BARR ARCHIBALD
Filed: 1911-05-16
Granted: 1912-05-16
Abstract: 11,772. Barr, A., and Stroud, W. May 16. [Cognate Application, 12,947/11.] Range-finders.-Relates to the determination of a quantity, which shall be a definite function of another quantity which is itself determined by means of a measuring-instrument, such as a range-finder or the sighting-apparatus of a gun, an example being the conversion of a reciprocal scale of ranges into a uniform scale of ranges. The invention consists in the introduction of external power which is divided into two portions, one applied to the driver, and the other to the follower of the two elements, one of which moves according to one quantity and the other according to the other quantity. According to the arrangement shown in Fig. 1, a movement due to the measuring- instrument is communicated by a rack 5 to a spindle 7, and thence by bevel-gear 8, 9 to a drum 12. This spindle also carries an arm upon which the central wheel 2 of a three-bevel epicyclic train 1, 2, 3 is mounted. The first wheel 1 is rotated by manual operation of a working- head 4, and the last wheel 3, which is loose upon the spindle, drives a rapid-pitch screw 6 furnished with a nut 16. Upon the drum 12 is cut a spiral groove of a shape adapted to introduce the desired function, and in order to prevent the turns of this groove from approaching too closely at any one part, the drum may be so mounted as to have an axial movement upon a screw 11. The pointer-nut 16, having a part engaging with the groove in the drum, thus indicates upon the scale 19 the required derived quantity, and the power introduced by means of the working-head is available for driving both the drum and the screw, the screw being of such pitch that the nut tends to overrun the groove towards the right. In alternative constructions a rack-and-pinion drive may replace the screw 6 and nut 16, and there may be a direct drive for one of the two driven members and a friction drive for the other, or a frictional drive for one and a frictional drag for the other. Fig. 7 shows a modification according to which the two driving-forces derived from the working-head by means of the epicyclic gear are communicated to screws 5, 34 furnished with nuts 33, 35 carrying pins for engagement with a slot in an arm 31 pivoted at C. To ensure satisfactory working when the nuts are remote from the pivot, pressure must be put upon them; this is effected by friction blocks 39, 40 contacting with springs upon the nuts. This form is suitable for converting a scale of reciprocals into a direct scale. For conversions of other kinds it may be possible to use the known Peaucellier cell as shown in Fig. 10. In any case, the resultant indications may be transmitted to a distance by means of the apparatus described in Specification 4422/06, [Class 40, Electric telegraphs &c.].
