Patent GB-190427710-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in and relating to Printing Presses.
Inventor: SMILEY WILLIAM HATCH
Filed: 1904-12-19
Granted: 1905-01-19
Abstract: 27,710. Smiley, W. H. Dec. 19. Platen presses; feeding sheets.-Relates to feeding-apparatus for platen presses in which the sheets are carried through the machine on an endless carrier and means provided for obtaining perfect register in multicolour printing. The device consists of two endless chains 1, Fig. 1, running over sprocket-wheels 2 and provided at regular intervals with gripper bars 8. The chains are driven by gearing from the shaft 7, the driving spur-wheel on this shaft having the teeth removed from a portion of its periphery to enable the sheets to remain stationary during an impression of the type-bed. The sheets are fed on to a pivoted feed-board 13, beneath springs, and against a stop 17, shown in detail in Fig. 5. The forward edge of the feed-board is slightly raised by a cam-operated lever 14 to allow the gripper bar 8 to pass beneath, after which the motion of the carrier is arrested and a slight backward movement is communicated to the frame 4 supporting the sprocket-wheels 3, by two levers 6 operated by cams on the shaft 7. The sheet is then released by the stops 17 and is registered against stops 9, Fig. 5, carried by the grippers 10 secured to the gripper bar 8. To ensure perfect side register, the gripper bars 8 are each formed with two V-shaped recesses, and are so arranged that the recesses in two consecutive bars engage corresponding projections 15<a>, 22 on the feed-table 13 and platen 21 respectively when the frame 4 is moved backwards by the levers 6. The sheets after being registered on the feed-table are carried to the platen 21, where they are impressed by a forme secured to a moving type-bed, and are finally released by an arm 12 on the grippers engaging a trip such as 23. When the arrangements are employed for multicolour printing where impressions are taken in succession on two or more platens, additional sprocket-wheels are placed to engage the chains between each pair of platens, to take up any slack and thus ensure that the impressions are in register. The sideregistering of the sheets may be effected by arresting the motion of the chain and moving the feed-table 13 up to the gripper bar instead of as described.

Abstract: 7579. King, G. H. April 10. Shearing.-Relates to a machine for displaying, measuring, and cutting wire and other fabrics. A frame 1 supports rolls 2 of fabric, only one of which is shown. At the front of the frame is a cutter guide 3, behind which is a roller 4, which is turned by a handle 6. To the trunnion 5, which carries the handle 6, is secured a toothed and flanged pulley 7, behind which is mounted an idle pulley 8. An endless band 9, preferably of metal, connects the pulleys 7, 8, the teeth of the pulleys engaging holes 10 in the band. On a rod are hinged arms 12, carrying a roll 13, which is adapted to be firmly held down upon the fabric by a book 14 and pin 15 or other means, thus causing the fabric to be fed forward as the roll 4 is turned. The belt 9 is one yard in length, and each time it completes its path a lug 20 on the belt engages one of the numbered projections 19 on a disk, thus turning the dial behind a fixed pointer 17, and indicating the number of yards of fabric that have been fed off the roll. To measure fractions of a vard, two lugs 21, 22, on the opposite side of the belt to the lug 20, are arranged to register with suitable marks 23 on the table 28, which supports the belt 9. Or, the fractions of a yard may be marked on the belt, and an indicating pointer be secured to the table. In a modification, instead of the dial 16, a fixed dial 24, bearing numerals, is mounted behind a dial 25, Figs. 4 and 5, the lug 20 engaging with the projections on the dial 25. The number of yards is read off by noting which numeral appears through a hole 27 in the dial.

Title: Improvements in Milling and Grinding Machines for Bevel Gear.
Inventor: WESTON PERCY LEONARD
Filed: 1905-12-27
Granted: 1906-04-26
Abstract: 26,989. Weston, P. L. Dec. 27. Producing curved surfaces.-Roughly cut skew or plain teeth of bevelwheels are dressed to approximately true involute form by a conical milling cutter or grinding-wheel having its axis in the direction of the tooth groove. The curve is generated by rolling a sector F, Fig. 3, on a cone G by a slide J, Fig. 8, carried round by rails K in guides of a wheel L slowly driven from a pulley P<2>. A cam R, Fig. 4, releases a spring to stop the feed. - The blank A is carried by a dividing spindle mounted on a slide on a plate B<8> rotatable about a standard C having a ball head with centre O. An arm C' has a socket end C<8> and carries the sector F and the cutter support. The free end of the cutter is supported by an adjustable backcentre, and the cutter plate can be set over for skew teeth. The guide-surface F<1> and the cutter axis lie in a plane passing through the centre O, which is the vertex of the pitch-cone, guide-cone, and cutter, and the centre of curvature of the the sector F. and rails K. Slip between the sector and cone G is prevented by flexible steel bands H, H<1> let into the rolling surfaces. The relation between the half vertical angle a of the guidecone and the half vertical angle b of the pitch cone of the wheel to be out is given by the formula sine a = sine b cos c, where c is the angle at which the pitch cone is intersected by the tooth profile. In practice, a set of six guide-cones would generally be sufficient, correction for the slight difference being made by setting over the plate B<8>. Scales and pointers are provided to facilitate adjustment of the various parts.

Title: Improvements in Internal Combustion Engines.
Inventor: JAMES THOMAS SPENCER
Filed: 1906-01-18
Granted: 1907-02-18
Abstract: 1421. James. T. S., and Wilson, T. H. Jan. 18. Gas and like engines.-The cylinder of a fourstroke-cycle engine is hung on trunnions carried in pivoted arms, or mounted in guides, and is moved to and from the crank-shaft during the exhaust and suction strokes, respectively, by the action of cams. The amount of such motion, and thereby the maximum volume of the combustion space, can also be adjusted when desired to suit different positions of the throttle valve. The Provisional Specification states that by the provision of linkwork the movement of the throttle valve may be made to take place simultaneously with the abovementioned adjustment. The improvements are described as applied to an engine of the kind described in Specification No. 19,174, A.D. 1905. Fig. 4 is a vertical section showing the trunnions f carried in arms e. The exhaust valve cam j is utilized to press the cylinder downwards by constructing the valve spindle with a head m, Fig. 1 which after the valve is fully open. catches against a guide o on the cylinder. The reverse movement of the cylinder is effected by a special cam k cooperating with a cam-surface p attached to the arms e. The adjustment of the above action is effected by the sliding of wedge pieces s which provide a firm seat for the arms e during the compression and explosion strokes. The wedges s may be slid by hand, but preferably the power of the engine is used. For this purpose, a worm 12 on the main shaft drives through reversing clutch mechanism, a wheel 10 forming a nut on a non-rotating shaft 7. This shaft is thus slid to right or left when the clutch is put in gear, and by. means of wedges 6 slides pieces 3, which themselves carry.wedges to operate the wedges s. By means of forks 23 on a side shaft 22, the cam shaft is slid correspondingly with the shaft 7. If desired, separate cams may be provided to perform the double function of the cam j, and springs may replace. the cam k. The trunnions f, as described in the Specification above referred to, are hollow and form supply conduits.

Title: An Improved Carburettor for Internal-combustion Engines
Inventor: BAILLIE GRANVILLE HUGH
Filed: 1906-03-21
Granted: 1907-03-21
Abstract: 6723. Baillie, G. H. March 21. Gas or explosive-vapour engines.-The fuel is sprayed continuously into a chamber by means other than the suction of the engine. A hole in the wall of the chamber leads to the cylinder inlet pipe, and a portion of the spray is thus sucked into the engine, the amount so drawn in being varied in any known way to govern the engine. The spray may be directed wholly.past this opening, or partly into it. The surplus spray collects on the walls of the chamber and runs back to the fuel supply. A convenient method of producing the spray is to use the exhaust gases, stored in a reservoir for that purpose. An engine-driven force pump, or a blast of air induced by the exhaust, may also be used. The spray chamber may be heated if desired and the various air and fuel apertures regulated in any suitable way. The Figure shows diagrammatically a fuel nozzle F, inlet pipe A with an air inlet B, and a drain G fur surplus fuel. Specification No. 6829, A.D. 1898, is referred to.
