Title: Improvements in Book Binding and Cutting Machines.
Inventor: ABERLEN PIERRE
IPC: B42B2/02
Filed: 1911-08-24
Granted: 1912-02-08
Abstract: 19,024. Aberlen, P. Aug. 25, 1910, [Convention date]. B o o k b i n d i n g - m achines.-A machine is constructed to perform both the operations of binding and cutting books, and may operate simultaneously on two books of different sizes. The books are raised from a pile and clamped between plates which travel in an horizontal plane with an intermittent motion around two notched wheels after the manner of an endless conveyer, so that, in successive steps, the backs of the books are glued, the covers applied, the covers pressed on, the backs formed, and the books presented to rotating cutting-knives. The books are initially stored in an inclined guide and are raised therefrom to the clamping- plates by means of fingers attached to a reciprocating belt, and the plates are pressed together by a cam-operated arm, allowing the backs to protrude. The closing or locking of the clamping-plates is effected by the arrangement shown in Figs. 6<a>, 6<b>. The counterplate z carries two spring-pressed blocks 1, 2, sliding upon a bar y and provided with sawteeth, which, after the plates have been adjusted, are allowed to engage with saw-teeth provided on branches 4. In order that the plates may be opened and the book released before the cutting operation, smooth blades 6, provided with bevelled ends, are pivoted between the branches 4, and, under the action of bevelled rods, force the blocks 1, 2 inwards against the pressure of the spring and release them from engagement with the branches 4. The book, when clamped and locked between the plates, in its first step passes over a drum immersed in a bath of glue; at the end of the second step, while the plates are at rest, a pile of covers is raised under the action of a counterweight, and the uppermost cover is applied to the book, the operation being controlled by a cam; and in the third and fourth steps, the book with its spread-out cover passes over spring - mounted rollers, Fig. 13. which press the cover upon the book, and then between conical rollers, Fig. 14, which are adapted to form the back. During the application of the cover, the plates are prevented from rising by means of a stop t on one of the plates passing beneath an horizontal guide-rail R, Fig. 13, and by a small grooved roller g which runs on the upper part of the rail. At the iast step the plates are opened and the book falls between adjustable clamping-fingers a, b, Fig. 8, which carry the book, with the back and three edges protruding, down an incline M, N past rotating cutting-knives. The fingers a, b are guided by a traveller running in a groove i, which is so shaped as to cause the book to be cut at the top and bottom edges by an upper pair of knives, and then to turn at an elbow in the groove so as to present the side edge to a lower knife. The sequence of operations is completed while the plates travel from one notched wheel to the other, so that, by utilizing each stretch between the wheels, the machine may operate on two books simultaneously.

Patent GB-191208152-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in and relating to Electro-pneumatically Operated Brakes.
Inventor: TURNER WALTER VICTOR
IPC: B60T13/66
Filed: 1912-04-04
Granted: 1912-06-27
Abstract: 8152. Turner, W. V. July 18, 1911, [Convention date]. Fluid-pressure. - In an electro-pneumatic braking-device, the usual triple valve is used in connexion with electric application and release valves and with an auxiliary valve device which operates, when the electric control is used, to supply pressure to the brake cylinder from the signal train-pipe and auxiliary reservoir and to release the brake-cylinder pressure through the triple-valve exhaust, and when the pneumatic control is used, to supply the brake cylinder from the auxiliary reservoir and to release the brake-cylinder pressure through the triple-valve exhaust down to a certain limit, after which the release is completed through an atmospheric port in a hand-cock, which serves also to convert the system from one adapted for electric control to one adapted for pneumatic control. The brake - cylinder port 3 of the triple valve 1, instead of being connected directly with the brake cylinder, is connected by a pipe 4 to an auxiliary valve device 5 and to an electrically-operated valve device 6. The valve device 5 comprises a valve 15 and another valve 9 operated by a piston 8, and is connected by pipes 11, 29 to the auxiliary reservoir 12 and brake cylinder 2 respectively, and by a pipe 24 to the electric valve device 6, which comprises application and release valves 20, 22, and communicates with the signal train-pipe 26. When the brakes are to be operated electrically, a three-way cock 25 in the pipe 24 is turned to the position shown in Fig. 1. For an electric application, the magnet 21 is energized to open the valve 20, whereupon the upper side of a valve 18 is vented through passages 27, 24, thus allowing pressure from the signal pipe 26 to open the valve 18 and pass through the pipe 24 to the valve device 5. The piston 8 is thereby operated, and the fluid passes through by-pass grooves 14 and ports 13, 16 and pipe 29 to the brake cylinder. The piston 8 also opens the valve 9 and allows pressure to pass from the auxiliary reservoir to the port 13 and brake cylinder. For releasing electrically, the valve 22 is opened by a magnet 23, whereupon the brake cylinder is vented by way of the passage 13, a check valve 31, port 30, pipe 24, port 32, valve 22, port 28, pipe 4, and the triple-valve exhaust. When the brakes are to to be controlled automatically, the cock 25 is moved to the position shown in Fig. 2. In a pneumatic application, fluid flows from the auxiliary reservoir into the pipe 4 and port 17, thus opening the valve 15 and passing by ports 34, 16 into the brake-cylinder pipe 29. In the pneumatic release, the valve 15 is at first held in its outer position by the brake-cylinder pressure, which vents through the passage 17 and pipe 4 until the pressure is low enough to allow the valve 15 to close, after which the exhaust continues by way of the ports 16, 13, valve 31, passages 30, pipe 24, and exhaust port of the cock 25.
