Abstract: 26,247. Achert, W. K. Nov. 20, 1911, [Convention clate]. Platen presses; printing-apparatus combined with gauging and measuring machines. - In apparatus for measuring the dimensions of tiles &c., and especially the extent to which they are warped, an intermittently moving power-driven conveyer is provided, by means of which the tiles are passed through the machine, but are maintained in a stationary position while their departure from a standard form is gauged and also stamped thereon. The length or other dimension of the tiles may also be measured and stamped upon the tiles, which are then delivered from the apparatus. When the conveyer has reached a certain position in which the tile is situated beneath the apparatus 49, 50, 68 for testing whether its departure from standard form, that is, the extent it is warped exceeds an adjustable predetermined margin, the tile is clamped in position by means of vertical pins 51 arranged adjustably or otherwise upon a reciprocating plate 49. The movement of a bell-crank 60 thereupon causes the engagement of two contacts 76, 77, and, if the deviation of the tile from the standard form is sufficient to cause the spring-controlled feeler or pin 68 to engage an adjustable contact 70, a circuit 72, 73 is made and the armature of an electro - magnet 74 forced against a spring- controlled type bar 75, Fig. 5, thereby stamping the tile. An inking-roller 98, Fig. 4, is provided in connexion with the type-bar, the typebar being rotatably mounted and turned so as to engage the inking-roller. The Specification as open to inspection under Section 91 (3) (a) comprises in addition a detailed description of the means for stamping upon the tiles their length or other dimension. This subject-matter does not appear in the Specification as accepted.

Abstract: 28,534. Nicholson, A. Dec. 11. Variable-speed friction gearing.-In a friction-disk variable-speed gear, one or more disks on the engine shaft drive two or more rollers on movable transverse shafts. In the form shown in Fig. 1, the engine-shaft B carries two disks C, C<1>, between which are arranged two rollers D, D<1>, slidable on their shafts E, E<1>, which drive the road wheels through belts M. The shafts are carried at their outer ends in either self-alining or ordinary bearings, and their inner ends are carried by vertical levers F, Fig. 3, which are pivoted at the bottom to a fixed member 3 and are connected at the top to a lever H pivoted at i. This lever is normally controlled by a spring J, which holds the rollers in the position shown for forward driving. By means of a double pedal N and a rod P the driver can rotate the lever H (1) to increase the pressure between the disks and rollers, (2) to disengage the rollers from the disks, and (3) to bring each roller against the other disk for reverse driving. The pedal can be held by a spring catch in the free-engine position, or a bolt may be used for the purpose, the bolt also serving to prevent accidental operation of the reverse gear. The rollers are moved along their shafts to vary the gear by a hand-lever P<1>, Fig. 3, which rotates shafts U by means of cranks R, links S, and cranks T, the shafts U carrying forked arms V which engage the rollers. In the form shown in Fig. 4, there may be only one driving-disk C' engaged by two rollers D<1>, D<2>, one on each side. Fig. 4 also shows a modification in which there are three driving-disks and two pairs of driven rollers. Each pair of rollers may have an independent control similar to the means shown in Figs. 1, 2, and 3, or one set of controlling-levers may be arranged to operate both pairs of rollers, the rod P and the links S being extended to connect with the respective parts of the second pair. The shafts of this pair of rollers may be connected either by chain gearing to the shafts of the other pair, or by belt gearing to the rear axle, ratchet, dog, or friction clutches being provided to allow one pair of rollers to remain idle when they are not being driven by disks.

Abstract: 19,718. Spencer, A. T., and Wykes, E. C. Sept. 1. Sheet-separators; sheet-registering devices, pile tables and supports; sheet carriers and guides; feeding webs.-Relates to machines for making box-blanks by assembling blanks a, b, Fig. 1, and uniting them by adhesive strips c, and consists mainly in co-relating the blanks automatically after they have been fed and before they are joined together, and of special blank-feeding devices. The blanks are fed from nile-holders arranged side-by-side, the side walls 4, Fig. 2, of which are adjustable laterally to accommodate blanks of different sizes by shoulders 8 of blocks 10, Fig. 3, adjustable on slides 7 reciprocated by an eccentric 12, Fig. 2. Prolongations 9 of the blocks 10 engage beneath the blanks as they are being fed, and the blocks are adapted to rock laterally to engage properly with bent or warped blanks. Each block 10 pushes the lowermost blank of the pile so that its leading edge rises up an incline 18 and passes through a slot 20 between the incline and a bevelled member 19 and is seized by rollers 30, 31 which draw the blank from the pile and feed it between adjustable guide-bars 32. The narrow part of each slot 20 is only of short length, and the slot widens out at both ends to allow warped blanks to pass, and the width of the slot is adjustable by a screw 29. The rollers 31 are controlled by springs 35 and are adjusted by set-screws 36. Those blanks that are drawn up to the bevelled member 19 by the lowermost blank are restored by fingers 22 when the slide 7 returns. These are caused to fall to allow a blank to pass, and to rise to restore the next few blanks, by a fixed cam 25, and are drawn back by bars 27 on the slides 7. Fingers 46, Figs. 2, 3, and 7, carried by a bar 47 reciprocated in guides 49 by a rod 52<a> and a. crank 52 push the blanks along the guides 32 to the strip-affixing rollers 60, 61, and are so adjusted on the bar 47 by screws 58 that they push the blanks into the relative positions they are to occupy when secured together. The adhesive strips c are fed from spools 70 adjustable laterally with the guidebars 32, and are passed together with the blanks between the affixing-rollers 60, 61. Each feeder 72 is reciprocated on a guide 73 by a pin 74 carried by a lever 74<a>, 79 rocked by a camoperated rod 78. During the feeding movement, the pin 74 presses a feeding-dog into contact with the strip and the feeder is returned by the pin 74 engaging a plate 81 on it, the feeding-dog being raised from the strip by a spring. The requisite lengths are cut from the strips by vertically acting cutters 85 coacting with fixed cutters and reciprocated by an arm 93, a rod 92, and a cam 90, the length severed being determined by the adjustment of the cam. Spring blades 83 carried by the feeders present the strips to the rollers 60, 61, prevent them from curling, and raise their ends from the fixed cutter after severance.
