Title: Improvements in and relating to Folding Machines.
Inventor: SEYMOUR RALPH CRYSLER
Filed: 1908-12-22
Granted: 1909-05-20
Abstract: 27,888. Seymour, R. C. Dec. 22. Folding paper; delivery apparatus; set-off, preventing.-A folding-machine, especially applicable for folding printed sheets during delivery, is constructed so that, during the folding, the sheet is gripped only along the line of fold and is then moved free from contact and constraint by the machine parts except along the folding-jaws, the movement through the air serving to dry the sheet quickly and to draw the parts of the sheets together, and the whole arrangement being adapted to prevent set-off, rubbing, smutting, and creasing of the product. The parts of the machine are under ready observation, and the construction is adapted to be simple. As shown, the folding is effected by folding-jaws 2, Fig. 1, constructed of a fixed jaw 9, Fig. 9, and a movable jaw 10 mounted on a shaft 8 mounted in a carrier 1 consisting of two arms 3, 4, Fig. 3, in which are mounted crankarms 6, 7, connected by the shaft 8. The arms 3, 4 are mounted on a driven shaft 5, and the crank-arms 6, 7 are driven by gears 17, 19, 20 from the shaft 5, so arranged that the speed of the cranks is twice that of the shaft 5. The jaw 10 is normally closed against the jaw 9 by spring actions; but, when the carrier 1 is in a position to receive a printed sheet from a cylinder 46, the jaw 10 is opened by the action of a cam 35, Fig. 6, on a roller 23 carried by a lever arm 12 on the jaw 10. The cam 35 moves the jaw 10 against the action of a spring 15, which bears adjustably on a rod 13 pivoted to the arm 12 and passing through a lug 14 on the arm 4. The cam 35 is mounted on a lever arm 38 adjustably spring-controlled, and a fixed cam 45 brings the lever 38 into the position corresponding to the active position of the cam 35. The jaws 10, 9 coact with a blade 47, Fig. 9, and grip the sheet as the jaw 10 is released from the action of the cams 35, 45. The jaws 9, 10 then move through the positions shown at a, b, c, Fig. 1, owing to the rotation of the shaft 8 with the arms 6, 7, and finally the jaw 10 is again opened to release the sheet by the action of a cam 34, Fig. 3, which brings into action a cam 26, similar to the cam 35 ; this cam 26 acts on a spring-controlled arm 21 on the shaft 8 in a similar manner to that in which the cam 35 controls the arm 12. Grippers 51 on a cylinder 50 receive the folded sheet from the jaws 9, 10, and the grippers may work through slots in the jaws 9, 10. The carrier 1 may be replaced by any carrier moving in an endless path and fitted with folding jaws movable thereon.

Title: Improvements in and relating to Waterproof Leatherboard and Process of Preparing the same.
Inventor: BUFFUM EDGAR STICKNEY
Filed: 1908-12-28
Granted: 1909-07-15
Abstract: 28,219. Buffum, E. S., and Carter, W. W. Jan. 2, [date applied for under Section 91 of Patents &c. Act, 1907]. Dyeing. - In the production of waterproof leatherboard from pulp containing fibres of tanned leather, the acid in the leather is neutralized by an alkaline substance such as caustic soda, potash, ammonia, lime, sodium carbonate, potassium carbonate, borax, or the like, and a solution of soap added and thoroughly mixed with the pulp in the beater. The soap is then precipitated in the pulp by the addition of alum, aluminium sulphate, calcium chloride, copperas, or any other suitable substance, and the material again mixed. Sheets of leather board may then be made in the usual manner. The precipitant is chosen according to the colour of the final product ; copperas gives a black material by reaction with the tannin of barktanned leather. To produce a black material with chrome-tanned leather, a soluble sulphide is mixed with the pulp before the addition of copparas. The product is of a natural or red colour when aluminium sulphate or calcium chloride is used.

Title: Improvements in Adjustable Transformers for Polyphase Electric Alternating Currents.
IPC: H01F29/12
Filed: 1909-09-06
Granted: 1910-02-17
Abstract: 20,003. Siemens Bros. Dynamo Works, [Siemens-Schuckertwerke]. Sept. 6. Transformers; regulating transformers; phase, changing.-Apparatus for adjustably transforming the magnitude and the phase of an alternating current consists of two stators s', s', wound for polyphase current and connected in parallel to polyphase alternating-current mains, and two rotors r', r<2> wound for single or polyphase current and connected in series. The stators and rotors are mechanically connected in such a way that the former may be moved relatively to one another, and the latter may be moved together, or with relation to each other, relatively to the stators. As shown, the stator s<2> is fixed, and the stator s<1> is movable around the common axis. The two rotors are fixed to a shaft s, to which is keyed a spider k carrying one or more pairs of spur-wheels d, d', which are geared with spur teeth on the stator s' and a spur-wheel a' loose on the shaft s, respectively. The gearing is such that, the wheel a<1> being held stationary, a rotation of the stator s<1> through a given angle produces a rotation of the rotors r', r<2> through half that angle. The action is as follows: -The fields of the stators s<1>, s<2> rotate in opposite directions, and a rotation of the shaft s relative to the stators when maintained in fixed relation to each other produces a phase shift in each rotor to an equal extent in opposite directions, thus reducing the resultant secondary voltage without changing its phase. If the stator s<1> be shifted through a given angle relatively to the stator s<2>, the phase of the resultant secondary voltage is correspondingly shifted through half that angle and at the same time its magnitude is increased. To neutralize the change in the magnitude, the gearing is introduced which, when the wheel a' is held automatically, shifts the rotors through half the angle through which the stator moves, thus producing a reduction of the secondary voltage equivalent to the rise that would otherwise be effected by the movement of the stator s<1>. Any means may be used to govern the movements of the rotors and stators, and the location of the rotors and stators may be reversed. If the stator fields are arranged to rotate in the same sense, the rotors may be coupled to rotate in opposite directions.
