Title: Improvements in Machines for Making Paper Bags of the Diamond or Cone Shaped Variety.
Inventor: DENMAN WILLIAM
IPC: B31B25/00
Filed: 1910-12-31
Granted: 1911-09-07
Abstract: 30,356. Denman, W. Dec. 31. [Addition to 15,578/10.] Paper bags, making.-The machine described in the parent Specification is modified in the following respects:-(1) The paper is fed and held against a stop before it is passed through the creasing-rollers. (2) A change-speed device is used for altering the speed of the web and, independently, the speed of operation of the machine. (3) A device is provided for arranging the completed bags for removal from the machine. The bag blank is fed over the creasing-rolls 27, Fig. 1, and is urged against a stop 22<c> by means of disks 22<a> secured on a rotating shaft 22 mounted above the table of the machine. The disks rest lightly on the paper and frictionally maintain the edge of the blank in constant contact with the stop. The change-speed gear consists of a long gear-wheel r mounted on the shaft l of the first pair of draw-rolls, and a series of gear-wheels t of different sizes mounted on the shaft m of the cutter. A pinion 66 is mounted so that it can slide laterally on a short shaft attached to a bridge-piece s pivoted on the shaft l. The pinion is thus constantly in gear with the wheel r and can be moved into gear with any of the wheels t to change the speed. A long gear-wheel similar to the wheel r is mounted on the driving-shaft v and is connected by the means as that described with the gearwheels t. The effect of the two gears is that the speed of the draw-rolls and the creasers can be varied independently of the speed of the cutters and creasing blades. The blade which makes the first crease is oscillated by a shaft 19 which has its middle portion curved in order to permit the movement of the second creasing- blade. The finished bags after leaving the creasers fall on to a travelling band 35, Fig. 5, which deliver them into a receptacle 41, Figs. 1 and 5, the size of which can be adjusted to suit bags of different sizes. Each bag as it falls is knocked into place by flexible beaters 39, which are mounted on a rotating shaft and enter the receptacle through slots in the side. The bags are removed by the operator when a sufficient number have accumulated. A side gauge 54, Fig. 1, consisting of a pointer which can be moved over a scale, is provided for setting the machine at the commencement of operations.

Cutting and perforating apparatus.-In a cylinder printing-machine, paper is ruled, and may be cut, perforated, scored, deckle-edged, &c., while passing through the machine by suitably-formed disks 1 mounted on a spindle 2 supported in bearings 4 in such a manner as to be pressed at the right times against the impression cylinder a. Suitable inking and tripping devices for the ruling-devices &c. are described. The disks 1 are formed with notched or other suitably shaped edges for ruling dotted or like lines or perforating, and two or more of the operations may be arranged to take place simultaneously. Between the disks 1, Fig. 5, are washers 31, the whole being clamped by a nut 33 on a collar 32 held in the desired position by set-screws. If it be desired, the shaft 2 may be driven from the impression-cylinder shaft either by belt or by friction rollers, and may be tripped by levers 13, 15 operated by a cam 17 mounted on or driven by gearing at any desired speed from the impression - cylinder shaft. The shaft 2 may also be tripped by the foot-operated lever 22. Instead of sliding bearings 4, radial arms may carry the shaft 2. The ruling-disks are inked in one or more colours from one or more removable ducts 27 having felt or like feeding-devices 28, which rest either directly upon the disk 1 or upon inking-rollers 26, Fig. 7, or the disks may be inked by an inking-roller in engagement with the press-rollers d, Fig. 4.

Granted: 1912-05-20
Abstract: 12,205. Brougham, F. J., [Dominion Guarantee Co.]. May 20. Alarms.-The water or air supply valves of a sprinkler system are connected with electric supervisory transmitters which signal a central station if a valve is closed, a further signal being given if the valve is again opened. The transmitters are controlled by switches operated by the stems of the valves. A signal is also given if the switch casing is opened or if the wires are cut. The circuits are shown in Fig. 5. Current normally flows from battery B, over terminal 35, wires 57, 58. 59, terminal 34, supervisory transmitter ST, terminal 36, wires 60, 61, 62, terminal 33, trouble transmitter TT, to ground. If this circuit is broken the trouble transmitter TT sends a signal to central; if the valve is interfered with, a contact 44, 45 is closed and short-circuits the supervisory transmitter ST, which thereupon operates; and, if the valve switch-casing is opened, a plunger contact 52 produces the same effect. One form of valve switch is shown in Fig. 3. A projection on a disk 24 normally lifts a roller 39 on the lever 37, so as to hold open the contact 44, 45. The valve stem 15 is operated by a nut 13 fixed to a controlling-wheel. At each rotation of the nut 13, a notch in a flange 16 engages one of a series of pins 29 on the disk 24, so as to turn the disk through, a certain angle. Thus the contact 44, 45 is closed when the valve is in any but the full-open position, and is re-opened when that position is returned to. The disk 24 is mounted on a block 22, which is slidably held by springs 23 on guide-rods 20. The plunger which operates the contact 52, Fig. 5, when the lid 54 of the switch-casing is removed, is shown at 49. A simpler form of valve-switch is described, in which a spring- urged contact plunger carries a roller engaging a cam-recess in the valve stem.
