Title: Improvements in Apparatus for Affixing Postage Stamps and the like.
Inventor: WILLIAMS ROBERT RONALD
Filed: 1906-09-13
Granted: 1907-09-05
Abstract: 20,374. Williams, R. R. Sept. 13. Damping and affixing stamps &c.-The machine is adapted to detach individual stamps from sheets and affix them to automatically forwarded articles. The sheet of stamps is secured to a frame w slidably mounted in a carrier y, which is free to move longitudinally on rods x. Over the frame is arranged a spring-controlled punch r carrying a damping-plate s. The punch is reciprocated from a hand-wheel e on a crank-sbaft c, which carries a disk and eccentric pin g engaging with a groove-cam o in a vertically-guided block h. The block is resiliently connected with the punch by a spring q. The frame w is reciprocated longitudinally underneath the punch by pairs of oppositely-disposed racks 1, 2, arranged at different levels and actuated from the crank-shaft c through a connecting-rod d and bell-crank lever 7, lost motion being allowed to secure that the action of the racks is intermittent. The racks engage with the upturned edge 5 of the frame w, recesses 3 being provided to allow only one set to engage at a time. The frame w is spring-urged in a lateral direction and on arriving at the eod of a stroke, it is moved laterally the width of a stamp owing to the freeing of an escapement 38 operated by stops 40, 42. The envelopes are fed individually from a pile 25 by a reed-plate 18, moving in guideways 19 and operated by a bell-crank lever 11 and links and arms 13, 12, 10 from the connecting-rod d. The lowest envelope is carried by a feed-stop 20 through an opening 25<a> under the punch r, in which position it is retained by a stop 22 raised by a projecting finger 21 on the feed - plate. After stamping, the envelope is ejected from the machine by a pivoted finger 23. In order to damp the Stamps at the extreme left of the sheet, the rear teeth of the racks 1 are made slightly longer, and the resilientlymounted punch descends on the edge of the frame while the damping-plate presses the stamps against a damping-pad. No envelopes are forwarded during this operation as the edge of the plate w presses down the upturned edge of a link 34 connected by a bell-crank lever 32 and spring 33 with a pivoted door 30, which is thus raised to prevent the action of the feed-stop 22.

Granted: 1907-08-08
Abstract: 6178. Allen, E. P. March 26, 1906, [date appliedfor under Patents Act, 1901]. Heating buildings.-An air-valve for radiators is formed in two parts A, B. In the lower part, a float valve closes the passage A<2> leading from the radiator connexion A<4> to a second valve B<4>. The valve B<4> serves to prevent the entry of air when the steam supply to the radiator ceases. The float chamber communicates with a pressure chamber D which surrounds the passage A<2>. The valve B<4> closes an aperture in a diaphragm attached to a supporting-part and to a protecting casing C. The spindle of the valve B' is loosely mounted in its support to enable the valve to seat readily. In operation, air entering by the connexion A<4> flows up the passage D, past the valve B<4> into the casing of the upper part B, and escapes by openings C<2>. When steam follows and passes the point controlled by the float valve, the air in the pressure chamber D is heated, forcing liquid into the float chamber. The float then rises and closes the passage A<2>.

Granted: 1907-09-12
Abstract: 17,306. Deloe, E. G. July 27, 1906, [date applied for under Patents Act, 1901]. Preserving fish.-A machine for cleaning and dressing fish comprises an endless conveyer 6 provided with a number of transverse rows of pockets 7, in which are placed the fish with their heads resting against transverse blocks 8. The fish are deposited by the conveyer in a series of stationary shoots 27 placed below a drum 12, which carries on its periphery a series of spring clamps 20, and is intermittently rotated by moving an arm 9 up and down ; the arm carries a latch 10 designed to engage lugs 11 on the drum during the upward movement and to slip over them during the downward stroke. The same operation serves to actuate the conveyer 6 by means of rods 14, connected at one end to the oscillating arm 9 and provided at the other end with bevelled shoulders, which slide over projections on the conveyer 6 during the upward stroke of the arms 9 but engage with them during the downward stroke, and thus intermittently feed the fish to the receivers 27. The spring clamps 20, in the form of U-shaped spring-clips, have serrated gripping-edges and are opened by means of fixed clamp-spreaders 17 to grip the fish, which they carry to a transverse knife 15. The ends of the knife are connected by a rod 30 to the arm 9, and slide on cam-guides 16, which are so shaped as to give to the knife a vertical movement and then an horizontal movement during the descent of the arm 9, thus severing the head and part of the belly. The fish are then carried forward to a fixed rake 18, which removes the intestines, and are released from the clamps by fixed clamp-spreaders 19. The ends of the receivers 27 are intermittently closed by drop-plates 51, held in position by a spring 52 and opened by a guidewire 53, which engages a hook 54 attached to the plate and thus allows the clamp 20 and fish to pass to the knife. Check-dogs 9<b> on the frame 9<a> engage lugs 11<a> on the revolving drum to prevent backward motion of the drum during the descent of the arm 9. A suitable counter 50 is mounted on the machine frame and is actuated by the wheel, thus recording the number of fish treated.
