Patent GB-190323510-A (GB)
Title: An Improved Apparatus for use in the Preliminary Treatment of Cotton and other Fibrous Material, applicable as a Bale Breaker or Bale Breaker and Mixer or as an Adjunct to a Bale Breaker Opener or other Preparatory Machine.
Inventor: GLEAVE JOSEPH
Filed: 1903-10-30
Granted: 1904-10-06
Abstract: 23,510. Gleave, J. Oct. 30. Opener ; mixing fibres.-Relates to apparatus for use as a bale breaker or bale breaker and automatic cotton mixer or adjunct thereto &c. The bales b, Fig. 1, are supported on a carriage a, the floor of which is composed of fluted or other spaced bars g, Fig. 3, strengthened by cross-bars h and supported by hanging brackets 19, Fig. 6. The carriage is provided with flanged pulleys c running on rails e. Pairs of spiked rollers i, driven by belt and spur gearing from the shaft j, and working underneath and between the bars g, remove the cotton from the bales and deposit it on a travelling lattice 10 underneath, driven by belt and spur gearing from one of the spiked rollers i. The carriage a is reciprocated by a rack and pinion and ordinary reversing-arrangement of three bevels and a clutch. The tumbler lever for the latter is rocked by a sliding bar 2 provided with adjustable stops, with which a bar y on the carriage alternately comes in contact. Adjustable stops f prevent over-running of the carriage a. The bars g may be rotated by bevel gearing driven from a wheel 23, turned at each traverse of the carriage by engagement with the fixed rack 24, or the bars g may be fixed and have top feather edges so as to offer little resistance to the removal of the fibre. The fibre on the lattice may be conducted to a hcpper feeder and thence to an exhaust opener lap machine, Crighton opener, or other preparatory machine.

Granted: 1906-03-08
Abstract: 4873. Guttenberg, P. March 8. Vices.-The fixed jaw 2 of an instantaneous-grip vice forms part of a sleeve 1 which may be bolted to a bench or table or may be fixed to the longitudinal or transverse edge of a school desk, table, or the like by means of an eccentric hook 17, which is pivoted at 16 and the front end of which engages an annular groove in the pin 18 fixed to the sleeve ; the jaw 2 is also provided with a flange 19 engaging over the edge of the table. The latter method of attachment is used also for fixing wide work between the hench-iron and the vice-jaw 4 which acts as the back-stop of the bench. In the bearing-blocks 6 of the sleeve is mounted a worm 5, consisting of a single coarse thread, rotated by means of a lever 7.

Abstract: 8926. Zeising, O., and Vollrath, H. April 27. Calculating - apparatus ; receipts, checking and recording.-The known form of multiplying- machine in which setting is performed by the movement of cam disks to release operating pins upon the driving-wheel is adapted for the addition only of English monetary values by the omission of arrangements for lateral motion of the totalizing- counter, which has improved transferring-means of the trip-lever type, with numeral wheels indicating pounds, shillings, and pence. Fig. 2 shows one of the totalizing-counter wheels h, of which there are two registering decimals of a penny to two places, and the usual train for pence, shillings, and pounds. At the transfer point, a pin n<1> upon the counter wheel strikes the wedge-shaped surface m of the arm p, and forcing it backwards throws the inclined surface p<1>, Fig. 3, into the path of a spring- controlled tooth r, which temporarily gears with the driving-piuion of the next higher counter wheel and moves it by one place. These transfer teeth rare mounted in staggered arrangement one upon each of the driving-wheels a which carry the operating-pins b. Known mechanisms are described for interlocking the handle and adjusting-rings d by means of a sliding comb c, whereby the rings can only be moved when the machine is in the inoperative position, and' also for throwing the indicating-wheels 3, which display the multiplier set, out of action during rotation of the handle.

Title: An Improved Process of and Means for Fixing the Closing Discs of Bottles or the like.
Inventor: BAGAR FRANZ
Filed: 1905-10-02
Granted: 1906-05-10
Abstract: 19,887. Bagar, F. Oct. 2. Capsuling.-Disks of paraffined chip wood, or thin metal, used to seal milk &c. bottles or the like, are forced into the bottles by means of a rubber pad 10, Figs. 1, 3, and 8, and are expanded into internal grooves in the necks by means of spring jaws 12 attached to a sleeve 8, which is rotated by gearing from a power or hand driven shaft 3. The neck a is formed with a shoulder a<2>, and with a groove adapted to receive a plain disk k, Fig. 1, or with a larger groove for receiving a disk k<1>, Fig. 3, with a turned-up edge. When the disk is being forced into the mouth, the jaws 12 are pressed inwards by means of a ring 15 through which the jaws pass, the ring 15 being provided with a collar 16, which is depressed down the sleeve 8 by means of a spring-controlled lever 20 operated by hand or foot. The jaws pass through a ring 14 on the sleeve 8, so that power is applied to them near their operating parts. As the disk, Fig. 1, is depressed, it buckles around the edges, and then, when the arms 12 are released by means of the lever 20, they force the disk into the groove. The disk k<1>, Fig. 3, is acted on by two kinds of tools 12 simultaneously. The tool 12<111> forces the flange of the disk into the groove, and the tool 12<11> presses the upper margin of the flange against the upper shoulder of the groove. The periphery of the tools 12 may be formed with V-shaped recesses, to press the disk against a shoulder on the neck, shaped to fit the recesses of the tools. The sleeve 8 is kept in place on the spindle 6 by a nut 9. The tools 12 may be oscillated instead of rotated. The disks may also be inserted by a hand-tool, Fig. 11, comprising hinged arms 24, 25 kept apart by a spring 31, and formed with rollers 30 shaped so as fit the groove of the bottle neck. The arms 24, 25 are compressed, when the device is introduced into the bottle.

Title: New or Improved Stop Mechanism for Printing or other Machines Operating on Sheets.
Inventor: HADDAN REGINALD
Filed: 1906-04-18
Granted: 1906-11-01
Abstract: 9195. Haddan, R., [Cross Paper Feeder Co.]. April 18. Feeding sheets.-Relates to means for automatically stopping or tripping printing or other sheetfed machines when a sheet is not correctly fed to the gauges. The sheet is fed over the supports B at the front of the feed board B<1>, Fig. 2, between a horizontally-reciprocating actuator-bar E and an arm C<3>, shown in Fig. 4, to stops A<1>, where it is taken by grippers on the cylinder A. The arm C<3> is formed with a shoulder C<5>, which lies behind the stops A<1>, and in the line of movement of the actuator bar E, and is pivoted to one end of a bell-crank C<4> which is mounted on a bracket C<50> and is controlled and adjusted by means of a spring C<6> and screw C'. The arm C<3> is adjusted vertically by means of a screw C<8> which rests upon a supporting-surface C<9> formed on an arm C<10>, pivoted to the bracket C<50>, and supported by the engagement of an adjustable screw C" with a spring C<12>. The bracket C<50> is adjustably secured by means of a screw C<13> to a sleeve C<1>, which is loosely mounted on a transverse shaft D and is provided with an arm C connected by a link C<2>.with the stopping- mechanism of the machine, such as an electric switch, clutch, or the like. The actuator-bar E is connected to a transverse bar E<1> reciprocated by means of a link E<4> and arm E<5> from the shaft D, which is rocked to project the bar E forward just after the front edge of the sheet should have reached the front gauges A<1>. If the sheet is correctly fed, the bar E engages the underside of the sheet, which slightly lifts the bar C<3> and allows the bar E to move forward without operating the stopping-mechanism. If the sheet is not.in position, the bar E engages the shoulder C<5> of the bar C<3>, carrying the latter forward with it, rocking the sleeve C', and operating the stopping-device by means of link C<2>. In a modification, the bar C<3> is secured to a lever pivoted to the bracket C<50>, the other end of the lever being controlled by a small helical spring encircling a rod secured to the bracket C<50>. In a further modification, the bar E is formed with two fingers adapted to pass through corresponding openings in the bar C<3>, when a sheet has not been correctly fed. The press is provided with two front stops A' and two sets of feeding- mechanism as described.
