Title: Improvements in Typewriting Machines.
Inventor: JAMES REGINALD WILLIAM
Filed: 1904-10-31
Granted: 1905-03-23
Abstract: 23,511. James, R. W., [Union Typewriter Co.]. Oct. 31. Type-writers.-Relates to means for preventing actuation of the inking - ribbon vibrator in a " visible " writing machine. In the construction shown in Fig. 1, the vibrator 54 bas a pin-and-slot connection 52, 53 with an arm 51 on a rock - shaft 48, which also carries a bell-crank lever 46 connected to a link 43 provided with a pin 44 for co-operation with a slotted extension 41 of the escapement rocker. A push - rod 61, retained by a friction spring 64 and limited by stops 66, is arranged to actuate the bell-crank lever 46, thereby moving the pin 44 into inoperative position, and raising the vibrator 54 to the printing point. When the vibrator 54 is thus maintained at the printing point, there is a considerable downward deflection of the ribbon from the vibrator to the spools, so that the " visible writing feature is not destroyed. In the case of a multicolour or other ribbon divided longitudinally into two fields, the parts are arranged so that the one or the other field is used according to the position of the push-rod 61. A modification is shown in Figs. 7 and 8 in connection with features as described in Specification No. 19,605, A.D. 1900, in which the vibrator is given a variable throw, by means of an arm 84 having a pin-andslot connection 93, 94 with a lever 95, and formed with a yoke 85 co-operating with an eccentric 86 on a shaft 87 geared with the spring drum. A pin 98 on the lever 95 projects into slots 99 formed on the vibrator stem 100 by bending the lower portion, and is held against the tops of the slots by means of a spring 101. An ear 104 is formed on the vibrator for co-operation with a cam 105 on a push-rod 106, to move the pin 98 into inoperative position, and to elevate the vibrator.

Abstract: 9164. Smith, M. May 2. Glueing.-Paper covers for books are fed on a cylinder between travelling tapes into contact with a glueing, gumming, or pasting wheel which applies a strip of adhesive ; thence they pass under the book, which is pressed against the cover, and the complete book is delivered on to a table. The books to be covered are stored on an inclined table with an adjustable edge L, which projects on a level with the upper surface of the sliding plate P. The covers are fed by hand or mechanically from a table A to the grippers on the cylinder B, over which they pass between two sets of tapes C, D to the glueing-wheel E, which is opposite a groove to prevent the application of glue to the surface of the cylinder B. The covers pass up to an adjustable stop G. The foremost book is then pushed by the plate N on the plate J down on to the cover against the bar O, and is gripped by the forward movement of the plate P. The bar O is moved upwards to press the cover and book close together, and then forwards to allow the book to be passed downwards, drawing the cover away from the tapes, which are supported by the parts R, 0 to prevent distortion. A well-known deliverydevice consisting of sliding rods S and a ribbed plate T delivers the book on to a table. The various parts of the machine are cam-driven from a shaft V through levers and springs, the sliding parts J, S being moved through toothed quadrants and racks.
