Granted: 1914-06-18
Abstract: 28,924. Sielaff, M. June 5, [Convention date]. Feeding and registering webs.-In apparatus for delivering postage stamps &c. from perforated strips, the delivery is effected by the aid of a bend formed in the strip. The storage roll a is contained in a box b, and the strip passes through an aperture b<1>, so that the foremost stamp a<1> is normally clear of the box and disposed within an aperture d<2> in a delivery slide d. Suitable mechanism (not shown) is provided for reciprocating the delivery slide d and for rotating a shaft f bearing cams e, m. At the commencement of a delivery operation, the parts are in the position shown in Fig. 1, As the cam m rotates, a bell-crank lever h, being pressed against the cam by means of a spring, moves to the left so that its arm k passes into the aperture d<2> and bends down the foremost stamp, and the blunt edge d<1> of the slide d, which is simultaneously moved upwards, engages in the bend and feeds the strip forward. The nose e<1> of the cam e thereupon engages the downwardly-bent stamp, and the cam e bends it into the position shown in Fig. 3, the stamp being finally severed from the strip by the cooperation of the edge d<1> with a fixed blade o. Alternatively the slide d may be fixed and the strip fed past the edge d<1> by rollers or grippers, and after the foremost stamp has been bent down, the bend may be moved back to the edge d<1> by suitable means.

Granted: 1914-11-12
Abstract: 29,504. Pieper, H. Dec. 28, 1912, [Convention date]. Dynamos, driving; motors, gearing for.-In a dynamo-electric system for starting engines, the field magnet 5 is fed from a battery 16 through a switch 22 and drives the engine shaft 3 through gearing 17, 18 and a pawl and ratchet-wheel 19, 20. When the engine has started, it rotates the armature 2 to charge the battery 16, ignite the engine, &c., through chain or like gearing 4, and the field magnet 5 is prevented from. rotating in the same direction as the armature owing to a ratchet-wheel 8 thereon being obstructed by a fixed pawl 11. To prevent damage to the mechanism when the engine is being stopped, either the battery connexion is broken by opening the switch 22, or the ratchet gearing 19, 20 may be disconnected electro-magnetically, the field magnet then rotating idly. In stopping the field magnet, a spring or other cushioning-device may be used in connexion with the pawl 11. According to a modification, the field magnet may be connected to the engine shaft through a spring drum and a free wheel clutch, so that on the one band, energy is stored up in the spring and given out rapidly to start the engine, and, on the other hand, the spring serves to act as a cushion to protect the mechanism when backward motion of the engine occurs. The armature may be the stationary element when the machine operates as a generator.
