Abstract: 2457. Nasmith, J. W. Feb. 1. Stapling. - To fasten - in the ends of boxes composed of sheets and cleats stapled to binding-wires, the ends are secured to the cleats by staples driven from the inside of the box by the following machine:-Two or more distant jaws support the end of the box, and independent stapling - mechanisms arranged between and adjacent to them produce the staples from wire and insert them. Upper jaws carry anvils cooperating with the stapling-devices. These are arranged at an angle with the sides of the box, to enable a long staple to be obtained and to allow sufficient wire to be fed to the stapling- mechanism, which is of the usual kind. Fig. 3 shows a plan of the jaws 4, 5 with the relative positions of the staples 3. Each stapling-mechanism is independently controlled by a separate treadle and clutch, one being used while stapling along one side of the box end B, both while working along the bottom, and the other while operating upon the third side. Each staple forming and driving apparatus comprises a reciprocating rod 6, which oscillates a sector 10 having a toothed segment which operates the staple cutting, forming, and driving mechanism, and an horizontal arm which engages a bowl 23 on a lever pivoted at 31 and coupled by a link 30 to wire-feeding mechanism. This comprises a milled disk 13 which is fed forward intermittently by a ratchet 17 operated from the link 30. The wire is nipped between an eccentric disk 13<a> and the disk 13, and carried forward in each feeding-stroke.

Abstract: 5129. Birmingham Small Arms Co., Accles, J. G., and Norman, G. March 1. Breech actions, sliding breechblock.-Relates to bolt-action rifles, and consists in a special safety-device of the kind that is mounted on the end of the breech-bolt and adapted, in the locked position, to lock both the breech-bolt and the firing-pin. The safety comprises (a) an enclosing cap 1 rotatably mounted at the rear end of the breech-bolt 3 and having a slot 4, Fig. 8, and a flange 5 of which a part 6 is cut away; (b) a locking-sleeve 7 fitting within the cap 1 and turning with it; this sleeve has a handle 9 projecting through the slot 4 in the cap, and an inward projection 17, Figs. 3 and 8, normally sliding in a slot 15, Fig. 9, in the firing-pin; and (c) a leaf-spring 18, Figs. 1 and 2, having a nose 19 adapted, when in the locking position, to engage a slot 20 in the breech-bolt 3, but normally held out of engagement, when the breech-bolt is locked, by the flange 5 on the cap 1. If, when the breech-bolt is locked, the handle 9 is turned, the projection 17 engages either the cross slot 16 or the rear notch 22 in the firing-pin and thus locks the firing-pin cocked or uncocked; at the same time, as the cap 1 is also turned, the recessed part 6 of the flange 5 comes under the nose 19 and thus allows it to engage the slot 20 in the breech-block which is thus held from rotation. When the breech-bolt is drawn back, rotation of the handle 9 is prevented by a spring 8, Fig. 3, which presses it into engagement with a notch 10 at the rear of the breech-bolt 3.

Abstract: 7194. Svoboda, A. March 28, 1910, [Convention date]. Platen presses; printing and impression surfaces; inking-apparatus. - A hand-operated machine for printing on fabrics &c. in two or more colours comprises a travelling carriage in which the formes are mounted, means for stopping the carriage at the correct intervals to print on the fabric which is supported on a stationary cement bed, and a travelling inking- carriage of smaller gauge than the printing- carriage containing pads of different colours on to which the printing-surfaces are depressed before being depressed on to the material. As shown in Figs. 1 and 4, the cement base 1, on which the fabric is stretched, is supported on beams 2, which also support beams 3, 4 fitted with metal strips 5, 6, on which the inking and printing carriages respectively travel. The inking-carriage comprises pads 12, 13, mounted on supports 10, 11 in a frame 9 mounted on wheels 7. The supports are secured between horizontal screws 14 passing through plates 15 on them, and adjusting-screws 17 acting on these plates 15 serve to adjust the pads vertically. A handle on the inking-carriage permits it to be moved under the printing-formes which are mounted in a carriage formed of walls 21, 22, a cross beam 23, and a yoke 24, all supported by wheels 8. The printing-surfaces are mounted in a bed 33 which is guided by side guides and a central guide 25 to move vertically in the carriage, the bed being actuated by means of arms 30 on shafts 26, 27 geared together and rotated by a balanced rod 34. The arms 30 carry rollers 31 in forked ends, and engage guides 32 fixed to the printing-bed 33, which is thus moved vertically. The formes 44 are secured by bolts 45, washers 47, and nuts 48 to hinged frames 46, which are mounted in removable frames 37, 38 secured resiliently to the bed 33 by means of projecting eye-plates 39, Fig. 3, secured to pins 40 on a plate 41 on the bed by means of nuts 43 which are acted on by springs 42. On the track 5 is arranged a series of pins 60, Fig. 5, which act on springs 52 secured to the printing carriage for stopping the same when it has been moved into correct printing position. Each spring 52 is guided by a yoke 54 on the carriage and a projection 53 on the spring, and the pins 60 engage a semicircular projection 57 on the spring which stops the carriage in such a position that a hole in the spring is in alinement with the pin 60, so that the spring can be raised by a cord 59 &c. to free it from the pin 60. To ensure register in printing, the bed 33 is further provided with pins 62 which engage in holes in the track 5, and can only be depressed to print when these pins and holes are in alinement. Hooked arms 63 prevent the printing-carriage from being disengaged from the rails by a vertical movement.
