Title: Improved Means for Releasing Spring Controlled Arms or Levers.
Inventor: MITCHENER GEORGE
Filed: 1905-09-18
Granted: 1905-12-07
Abstract: 18,809. Mitchener, G. Sept. 18. No Patent granted (Sealing fee not paid). Leaf-turners.-Relates to means for reducing in succession a series of spring - controlled arms applicable to leaf-turners such as that described in Specification No. 1669, A.D. 1903, and for like purposes. The arms d, provided with stays g, are mounted on a pin b, and are formed at their outer ends with projections i engaging notches j in a series of spring- controlled pivoted catches k, with which they are retained in engagement by a stop m on a spring- controlled slotted slide n, and a fixed stop q. An overturned part s of the slide n carries a pivoted spring-controlled plate u, formed with steps v which can in succession be brought into contact with the arms g and projections w on the catches k. -Inaction, the arms are placed in engagement with the catches k, thereby pushing the part u back, the lowest step v being against the lowest arm and the side of the lowest step being beside the projection w of the lowest catch k. When the part r is pushed, the lowest catch and arm are released, and the next step v assumes the position to act on the next catch, the motion of the arms being limited by a buffer h.

Granted: 1906-08-16
Abstract: 2876. Wise, Sir W. L., [Arithmograph Co.]. Feb. 6. T yp e writers. - Relates to frontstrike or visiblewriting machines, and comprises (1) a type-bar mechanism in which the pull or thrust on the different parts is substantially in line with the direction of movement, and there is little or no side strain or twist, (2) a disposition of the typebar bearings so that erasings cannot fall into them, (3) a ribbon shifted solely by the impact of the type as in an ordinary under-strike machine, (4) case-shift mechanism, and (5) a reflector and print- . ing-point indicator. The machine is shown in plan and vertical section, respectively, in Figs. 1 and 4. (1) The key-levers 9 are arranged parallel in guides 71, 72 and engage a fulcrum ledge 10 depending from the base frame 1. The keylevers are normally held up against a cushion 12 by springs 13 detachably engaged in curved slots 14. The type-bar segment 16 is arranged under the platen 8 in an inclined plane substantially parallel to a tangent to the platen at the printing-point, which is about twenty degrees below the centre at the front of the platen. The type-bars 15 are, preferably, pivoted in hangers 33, 34 staggered on opposite sides of the segment. The type-bars normally rest upon a padded segment 41 secured to the segment 16 by inclined arms 42. Sub-levers 43, preferably of uniform size and shape, are arranged on a curved crosssupport 24 provided with a stepped series of mounts 44 adjustably secured by screws 45. The curve of the mounts 44 corresponds to that of the type-bar bearings. The sub-levers 43 are connected to the type-bars 15 by detachable links 49 all substantially of the same length, and to the key-levers 9 by adjustable detachable links 47. (2) The hangers 33, 34 are well to the rear of the platen, so that erasings cannot fall into the bearings. (3) The ribbon 52 is arranged parallel to a tangent at the printing-point, and is spaced away out of the line of sight. (4) The segment 16 is guided in its shift movements by rollers 18 at the sides and a roller 21 at the centre. The shift is limited in the downward direction by means of an arm 23 and an adjustable stop-bolt 25, and in the upward direction by means of a lug 29 and a removable stop 30. A bell-crank lever 65 connected with a push-rod 66 engages a slot in the arm 23. The push-rod 66 is provided with a lug 70 to be swung up behind an abutment 69 on the front bar of the framing, in order to lock the segment in upper-case position. (5) A short plate 73 provided with a polished or white-enamalled lightreflecting surface and a black-line printing-point indicator is arranged just below the printing- point.

Filed: 1906-02-12
Granted: 1906-06-14
Abstract: 3387. Reynolds, W. G. Feb. 12. No Patent granted (Sealing fee not paid). Match-boxes are made to facilitate the withdrawal and ignition of their contents. As the inner slide is moved outwards by means of the thumb-piece c, Fig. 4, the inclined portion d of the outer shell allows the spring i, Fig. 8, to raise the hinged flap h, causing the matches e to tilt as shown in Fig. 10. The flap h is pushed back during the closing of the box by means of the piece k. A spring m, with serrated ends, is fixed under the slide piece at x, its upwardly curved end passing up through the opening l, Fig. 6. When a match has been obtained, the box is closed, and the match is ignited by drawing it completely out of the box. Holes o are provided in the slide. The box is made from any suitable metal, the outer box being made in two pieces, one forming the bottom and sides, and the other the top, with its slot in which the thumbpiece moves, and the closed end, and a ring may be soldered on for attachment to a watch chain.

Granted: 1906-10-04
Abstract: 12,229. Schi÷nning, J. May 25. Sealing.-Relates to a machine for applying gum &c. to the lids of preserve tins &c. The lids 6 are mounted on a table m. Fig. 1, which is formed with a series of openings u, through which a camoperated plunger is raised in order to lift a lid 6 against a disk 21 on a revolving shaft, which may be raised against the action of a spring. The lid 6 is thus rotated, and when the disk 21 is raised so as to contact with a friction disk 5, Figs. 1 and 3, the disk is rotated and caused to feed the gum from a casing 7 by means of a screw thread 4 on a shatt 3 to which the disk is attached. The gum is delivered to the disk 6 through a nozzle 9, normally closed by a spring stopper 10 with external grooves, the stopper being opened by the rising of the lid 6. The table m is rotated intermittently by means of a pawl and ratchet, actuated by gear wheels and an eccentric or cam t from a shaft l, so that another lid is acted on as soon as one is gummed. The casing 7 can be adjusted vertically and horizontally, so that different sizes of lids may be treated. The gum is supplied at a constant pressure to the casing 7 from a reservoir 15, by means of a feed screw 18 which works in an open cylinder 20 within the reservoirs. The reservoir is fitted with a rotating shaft 16 provided with blades for stirring the gum. The disk 5 can be replaced by a larger or smaller one, so as to adjust the amount of gum supplied.

Granted: 1907-08-01
Abstract: 20,355. Morison, D. B. Sept. 13. Air-pumps, steam-engine and like.-A steam-engine air-pump is constructed in such a manner that fluid is drawn into the cylinder during both strokes of the piston, while discharge only takes place on the up-stroke. Fig. 1 shows one form of the pump. During the up-stroke of the piston b, the fluid above it is discharged through a valve g, while water and vapour are being drawn in through a valve h. During the down-stroke, the fluid below the piston is compressed until the upper surface of the piston has passed the ports f, when the compressed fluid escapes through annular ports e into the upper end of the cylinder which already contains air and vapour drawn in through the valve n and ports k. In other modifications, the valve h opens into the annular passage e, the piston-rod d is arranged below the piston instead of above, the ports k are placed so that the piston passes them at the top of the up-stroke, and a relief valve is placed in the port e.
