Title: Improvements relating to Printing Machines.
Inventor: MCPHERSON ALFRED
Filed: 1906-04-11
Granted: 1906-12-13
Abstract: 8753. McPherson, A. April 11. Addressing - machines.-In a machine for printing addresses on envelopes &c., the impression cylinder B, Fig. 1, carries grippers b<0>, b<9> which hold the envelope by the front and back edges while the envelope is addressed by typebars held on a reciprocating typebed. The envelope then passes round the cylinder B‹ to a reciprocating pusher b<12> actuated by a cam bl' &c., which pushes the envelopes, by slightly bending them, past ridges b<13> into the delivery trough B<3>. The type - bars Dare taken four at a time from a feeding-device such as a band H -and hinged bridge-piece H<1>, and are clamped on to bars b<1>, b', b<3>, b<4>, Fig. 3, which are mounted on the bed and are arranged to separate so as to space the bars properly for printing, after which they are brought together again for delivery of the bars. The spring - pressed clamps g at the end of bars bl, b<2>, b3, b<4> are lifted when the bed is at the extreme right-hand end of its travel by a plunger g<2>, Figs. 1 and 3, and lever g<8>, actuated through a bell - crank levor g<7>, rod g<6>, lever g<5>, and cam g<4>. After passing beneath the inking-devices B' the type bars are separated, as shown in Fig. 3, so that the type on the bar b<1> prints a number in one corner of the envelope, and that on the other bars prints at correct intervals the name and address. This is accomplished by a lever E, which is pivoted to the bed, and engages with an incline F fixed at one side of the bed and shifts the bar b<X>, carrying the supporting-bar b<1>. The bars b<2>, b<3> , are actuated through adjustable tappets on the rods b<5>, engaging with the bar b<1>. After printing, the bars are brought together again as the lever E runs off the end of the incline F, and they then pass under a fence which is lifted by a lever k<5> and incline k<6>. On the return stroke the fence is not lifted, as the end of the lever k<5> passes under the incline k<6>, and it thus sweeps away from the supporting-bars the typebars, which have been released from these bars by a second bell-crank lever g<7> lifting the clamps g. These supporting- bars then return to take up a fresh set of type-bars. a fence K actuated by the incline k preventing more than the required number from being fed.

Abstract: 13,067. Landgrebe, C. H. June 5. Fastenings, bayonetjoint. A trace connexion which will permit ready disconnexion of the trace in the event of the horse falling consists of a pair of telescopic members a, b, the inner of which is provided with a projecting lug c, which slides in a slot d in the outer members and can be turned down into a recess, as shown, in order to lock the two parts together.

Granted: 1908-01-23
Abstract: 21,118. Christian, H. H., Prime, W. G., Fisher, R., and Prime, F. P. Sept. 23. Couplings, automatic.-A car coupling of the type in which a hook pivoted upon each vehicle engages an inclined ledge upon the opposing vehicle is provided with means for retaining the hooks in the raised position so as to prevent coupling, and with safety-devices which come into operation in the event of the breakage of the draw-bars or hooks. Further, the ledge members are arranged to serve as emergency buffers should the side buffers fail to act. Coupling- hooks 7 are pivoted by horizontal bolts 6 to drawbars 4, and may be prevented from fouling during coupling by being arranged to one side of the centre line, and further, by being bent to one side at 8, and formed with inner bevelled faces 10, as shown in Fig. 1. The hooks engage with ledges 34 which are carried by arms 30 and may have their rear edges straight, or curved as shown at 33. The hooks are formed with tail-pieces 17 connected to springs 21 by rods 20 and provided with hooked ends 18 which engage with eyes 28 at the ends of rods 26, the other ends of which are formed with a stirrup 27 closed at 38 and pivoted to an arm 25 on a cross-shaft 22, which may be operated by a lever 23 or the like. For raising the hooks into the position shown on the right-hand side of Fig. 2, the lever 23 is rotated into the position shown by dotted lines in Fig. 4, the hook being retained in the raised position by the lever 23 and the engagement of the closed end 38 of the stirrup 27 with the arm 25. Supplementary hooks 16, Fig. 2, formed on the undersides of the hooks 7 ensure connexion of the cars in the event of the pivots 6 becoming removed, and by contact with the ledges 34 act as stops to limit the upward motion of the hooks 7, while hooks 5 on the draw-bars serve for the attachment of ordinary chain couplings. Hooks, loops, or other stops 24, 29 are provided for the levers 23 and rods 26, respectively. Buffers ; draw-gear.-The arms 30 of the coupling are formed with buffing-faces 36, Fig. 1, and are fitted with springs 32, 39, while the central draw-bar 4 is provided with a spring 14. If the central draw-bars should break, the side bars 30 maintain the connexion between the cars.

Abstract: 24,612. Viel, E. A. O. Nov. 6. Silicates ; copper silicate; silica.-In a process for reducing natural silicates of aluminium, or natural products containing alumina and silica, the silica is removed in the form of double silicates of lime and iron. The material to be treated is heated in an electric furnace with lime, iron oxide, and carbon or other reducing-agent, the latter being insufficient entirely to reduce the alumina. The resulting aluminium may be freed from silicon by the addition of sufficient copper oxide to form copper silicate, or by the addition of sufficient iron oxide to oxidize the silicon which is removed as silica.

Granted: 1908-09-03
Abstract: 2284. Marryat, F. T., and Morgan, L. Feb. 1. Motor road vehicles.-In an hydraulic transmission system, the water supplied to a hydraulic motor C is drawn by a pump B from a radiator D, and is returned to the radiator through the waterjacket of an internal-combustion engine A. The amount of water passing to the hydraulic motor is regulated by a valve E'. In another arrangement (not shown), the water may pass direct from the pump either to the motor or the water-jacket, the control being so arranged that, as water is shut off from the motor, a greater amount is sent through the water-jacket. In this case, the supply may be arranged so that there is a certain minimum supply to the water-jacket, but alternatively, the latter supply may be cut off altogether when the hydraulic motor is working at full power, separate connexions with the radiator being made so that there may be a constant circulation through the water-jacket. In another arrangement, the water may pass through the water-jacket before reaching the hydraulic motor. A water-supply tank separate from the radiator may be used, or the radiator may be enlarged to suit the altered conditions.

Desks.-In a rolltop desk, a flexible cover comprising slats mounted on a backing of fabric &c. is adapted to be supported by pivoted built-in portions of the sides of the desk so as to form a bookkeeper's desk. In the form shown in Fig. 2, each movable portion 10 is hinged at 11 to its side piece 4, and is formed with a part of the groove 9 for guiding the ordinary flexible cover 6. To form a bookkeeper's desk, the portions 10 are each supported by a hinged leg 19, the reduced end 22 of which engages an aperture in a plate 23. The leg 19 normally rests in a recess 21 in the side 4, and the portion 10 is retained in the lowered position by a pin-and-hook or similar fastening, not shown. A separate flexible cover 48 may be employed for the bookkeeper's desk, as shown in Figs. 4 and 5. Each movable portion 36, Fig. 4, engages its side piece 31 along a curve 31<a>, and is connected thereto by a link 56<a>pivoted to the side piece at 53, and to a plate 54 secured by screws or pins 55 to the portion 36, so that the groove in the portion 36 can register either with the groove 44 containing the ordinary cover 35, or with the groove 52 containing the cover 48. In the modification, Fig. 5, the groove in each portion 36 is so forked at 45 as to register with the groove 34 for the ordinary cover 33 when the portion 36 is lowered. When the supplemental cover 48 is pushed back, the ledge 51 for retaining articles on the desk covers the aperture 47. Pins 56 on the covers may engage grooves 57 to limit the withdrawal of the covers.
