Abstract: 22,359. Kahr, A. Oct. 10, 1910, [Convention date]. Extrusion machines; stream - cutting machines.-In extrusion apparatus for producing a string of closed hollow blocks by means of a rotary core, the core is formed with a wedgeshaped end B, and is mounted upon an axle D operable by a crank, eccentric, &c. When the core is positioned as shown in Fig. 3, a hollow bar F is formed, and by rotating the core into the position shown in Fig. 4, a solid bar E is formed. By successively rotating the core, a stream of alternate hollow and solid portions is produced, which is severed at G, H to produce a series of closed hollow blocks. The Specification as open to inspection under Section 91 (3) (a) states also that the solid portions are produced by rotating the core rapidly through 360 degrees, and comprises also a cutting-apparatus, operable simultaneously with the core, in which the material impinging against a stop-plate d, Fig. 5, moves the cutting-carriage e and, by means of a tappet f, operates a clutch rod h; the core spindle c is thereupon rotated and, by means of a crank, rod v, and levers u, operates the vertical cutter frame s, and by means of an eccentric x and rod y operates the carriage e.

Title: Improvements in or relating to Printing Presses.

Granted: 1912-10-24
Abstract: 8176. Anglo-American Inventions Syndicate, [Smith, W. H.]. April 4. Feeding sheets; sheet-registering devices.- Relates to means such as are described in Specification 4177/97 for feeding sheets to stops on the impression cylinder of a rotary press at a greater speed than the cylinder, and consists in driving the feed-rollers with an accelerated motion, the drawing-means being readily adjustable to obtain at any predetermined point in the revolution of the cylinder the variable speed necessary for feeding the sheets in correct register. The feed - rolls are mounted in a detachable frame that, when the frame is fixed with the roll s in working position, the operation of the feedrolls will be properly timed. As shown, the sheets are fed by a conveyer 10, Fig. 1<a>, and are passed between the upper segmental feedrolls 5 and the lower feed-rolls 7, which are mounted on a shaft 6 and normally occupy the position shown in Fig. 4, the rolls 5, 7 being stationary. A front stop 15 retains the sheets until they are forwarded by the rolls 5, 7. These rolls are driven through one revolution, to feed the sheets to stops on the impression cylinder 2, by an oscillating segment 25, which is oscillated by lever-and-link mechanism 27, 28, 30 from a cam 32 on the shaft of the cylinder 2. The segment 25 gears with a pawl plate 22, Fig. 3, freely mounted on the shaft 4 of the rolls 5, and the pawl 21 of this plate engages a one-toothed ratchet disk 20 fixed on this shaft 4. The cam 32 is so formed that the segment 25 moves first in a clockwise manner with an accelerating motion, and the rolls 5 are driven contra-clockwise with a similar motion. A spring 35 returns the lever 30 to starting position, and the segment 25 and pawl plate 22 are thus given a reverse motion. The shaft 4 is unaffected by this movement of the pawl plate 22. The cam 32 is adjustable so that the relative time at which the overfeed takes place, and consequently the amount of overfeed, are adjustable. The feed-rolls are mounted in an auxiliary frame secured by bolted cap plates 9 to the main frame 1, and by removing this frame the feed-rolls are removed. Upon reinserting the rolls, their operation will be properly timed by the engagement of the cam 32 with the lever 30.

Electric clocks.-Relates to a system of electric clocks in which a device is provided at the transmitting-station to indicate when and how far any of the secondary clocks are wrong. The secondary clocks B are provided with automatic interrupters D, each having a characteristic frequency, the interrupters being brought into operation periodically and in turn by the secondary clocks. The interrupters are included by means of the main line wires, in the circuit of a battery E, together with a resonance apparatus of known construction. The tongues F of this apparatus, each of which has a vibration frequency corresponding with that of a particular interrupter D, are arranged over a cylinder G rotated in synchronism with the masterclock A. When any one clock B brings its interrupter into action, the corresponding tongue F in the selective device is set in vibration, and makes a mark on the cylinder G. By the position of this mark, the error, if any, in the secondary clock is indicated. A switch H is provided which automatically cuts out the battery E and the resonanceapparatus when the normal current-impulses are sent out by the master-clock A. In the arrangement shown, the interrupters D are el ctro-magnetic, and are brought into action by a rotating-disk on which a contact-spring C bears. A mechanically-actuated interrupter may be used, as shown in Fig. 2. It consists of a spring K carrying an adjustable weight L, the end of the spring normally resting on a rotating cam J.

Abstract: 16,373. Pollen, A. H., and Isherwood, H. July 16. Range-keepers.-Range and bearing are continuously indicated on separate dials. The hand 7 and dial 2 are first set to the initial range and bearing of the target T, and the point A, Fig. 2, is then adjusted along the radial guide 4 till T A, as in Fig. 1, represents the reversed ship's course and speed. The point B is then moved along the radially-adjustable guide 6 till A B as before represents the target's course and speed. The point B now represents the target T with respect to the ships both in bearing and range after unit of time. B N and N T represent R d # and d R respectively, where R stands for range and # for bearing. A movement equal to N T is during setting imparted to the arm 11, and through variable-speed gearing the shaft 21 is continuously rotated at a speed proportional to the change of range, so that the hand 7 automatically indicates range. Similarly a movement equal to R d # is imparted to the member 12. To get from this a movement proportional simply to the change of range, a factor must be introduced equal to the reciprocal of the range. This factor is brought in by means of a cylinder 38 driven from the shaft 21 and carrying a cam-groove 39 which, if developed, would be a rectangular hyperbola, so that the position of the point 39, at any moment, represents the reciprocal of the range. Then with the linkage shown, if 0 Q represents R d # and U V represents l/R, O V represents d #, and this movement is transmitted through the variable-speed gear 46, 47 to the bearing-dial 2.
