Title: Improvements in or relating to Perforating and other Key-operated Machines.
IPC: B41B25/00
Filed: 1913-07-09
Granted: 1914-07-09
Abstract: 15,844. Lanston Monotype Corporation, Ltd., [Lanston Monotype Machine Co.]. July 9. Driving-mechanism.-Relates to actuating-mechanism for key-controlled machines, particularly machines for perforating record strips for automatic type composing and casting machines. The apparatus is described as applied to the perforating- machine described in Specification 17,199/08 in which the punches are represented by controlling- valves 1, Fig. 2, which are actuated by bars 2 and transmitting-members 4 from key-bars 3 operated by the keys. According to the invention, the keybars are operated by a reciprocating plate or driver 6 actuated by a motor 10, the selected key-bars being connected with the driver by interponents released by the keys. The motor mechanism is in duplicate to correspond with the two separatelyremovable sections of the key-bank. Each motor has opposed cylinders 11, 12, the pistons of which are connected together and to the driver 6. Compressed air is admitted to the cylinders alternately by a valve operated by a lever 27, Fig. 10, of which one arm projects between two actuators 28, 29 which are connected by a spring 30 and are normally held retracted by latches 31, 32. If the latches are released in succession, the motor and the driver will make one oomplete reciprocation, the actuators being re-engaged with their latches by a projection on the driver. The latch 32 is tripped, in order to start the motor, by a projection on a slide 35 which is actuated by the interponents when these are released by depression of the keys. The first or operative stroke of the driver shifts a valve and causes an auxiliary motor to operate a slide 38 which trips the latch 31 and causes the driver to make its return stroke. Means operated by a hand-lever is provided for causing the latch 32 to remain permanently out of engagement so that the motor becomes continuously-acting, thus enabling a signal to be repeated. The keys are arranged in parallel columns contained in separate frames composed of side-plates 60, Fig. 13, separated by cross-plates 62. Each key is in the form of a bell-crank lever having at its lower end a projection or tooth 66 from which an interponent 75 is normally suspended by means of a shoulder 79. When a key is depressed, the interponent is released and is pulled down by a spriug 77 so that its lower end rests between a projection 8 on the driver and a lug 5 on the corresponding key-bar 3. A shoulder 80 on the interponent rocks one of a series of bails 87 which causes the slide 35 to trip the latch 32 and start the motor. The interponent is afterwards raised by the bail 87 and is re-engaged with the key-lever. If the key-lever has not already returned, the interponent is temporarily supported by engagement with a lug on the cross-plate. Specification 2950/05 is referred to.

Granted: 1914-09-03
Abstract: 3586. Churchill, H. C. Feb. 11. Platen rotation for condensed-record work. The platen is rotated backwards and forwards to feedin invoices and to space the entries on a day-book sheet by clutch mechanism of the following character operated by a hand-lever having a variable angular movement determined by stops. The platen spindle a, or a spindle geared thereto, carries a loose hand-lever e formed with a clutch member d adapted to engage a clutch member c secured to the spindle, the clutch members being separated by a spring u. A boss f. on the handlever carries a collar g, which is adjustably secured by a stud i and a slot h and is recessed to provide an incline j adapted to engage an incline k on an adjustable frame l. The throw of the hand-lever is limited at the front by a fixed stop arranged to engage a lug s on the handle, and at the rear by a bar q on the frame l, this being pivoted on the platen-spindle and being secured by a spring-pin m engaging one of a series of holes n in a fixed plate o. When the hand-lever is swung to the front to feed the day-book sheet backward, the incline j rides up the incline k and moves the clutch-member d into engagement with the clutch-member c, the boss then riding on the end of the incline k and holding the clutch-members in engagement. When the hand-lever is swung to the rear to feed the invoice and the day-book sheet forward, the clutch-member d is held by hand in engagement with the clutch-member c after the recess in the boss is presented to the incline k. On account of the lost motion during the forward movement of the hand-lever, between the inclines j, k the backward movement of the day-book sheet is less than the forward movement, the difference between these movements corresponding to the spaces between the entries on the day-book sheet. The space is adjusted by adjusting the collar g. The frame l is adjusted in accordance with the depth of the invoice-heading. The hand-lever e is provided with a spring-catch t which normally engages the bar q.
