Abstract: 2462. Clark, D'A. M., [Mead, M. H.]. Jan. 30. Silkworms, systems for rearing.-Silkworms are reared in the open air by being enclosed with a branch or branches of a mulberry or other suitable tree for forty days in ventilated bags or pouches which are secured to the stem or stems of one or more branches so that the worms cannot escape. The bag 1, Fig. 2, consists of an inner layer 10 of organdie or silk secured to an outer layer 20 of bobbin-net or the like and is closed by cotton-wool 12 being secured to the branches 3 by a draw-string 2. An opening closed in a similar manner may be provided at the other end. The bobbinnet covering 20 may be replaced by a cylinder of aluminium or iron wire cloth, and the top half may be formed of canvas to shield the worms from rain. The bag or pouch may also be formed from a single piece of fabric 35, Fig. 11, in which a mesh of stoutly-woven material 36 is crossed by lighter threads 37 to reduce the mesh. The wire-gauze cylinders may be attached to the branches by lacing 73, Fig. 8, engaging hooks 74 or eyelets 76; the gauze being folded upon itself to form a base for the eyelets &c.
Patent GB-191207980-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in or relating to Type Casting and Composing Machines.
IPC: B41B7/04
Filed: 1912-04-02
Granted: 1913-03-27
Abstract: 7980. Lanston Monotype Corporation, [Lanston Monotype Machine Co.]. April 2. Single-type composing and casting machines. -Relates to the matrix-positioning mechanism of machines of the kind described in Specifications 8633/99 and 27,476/03. To enable matrices of abnormal size to be positioned, supplementary positioning-mechanism is provided, which acts upon the secondary gauge and imparts additional movement to it and to the die-case. The two secondary gauge-bars 6 are each provided with a series of teeth B, with which bolts C engage to impart additional movement to the gauge-bars after they have been released by the primary positioning-jaws. The gauge-bars are locked in position by the bolts C, while the secondary positioning-jaws close upon the gauge-stops 7 to position the diecase. The bolts C are automatically brought into action when abnormal matrices are to be positioned, the normal locking-bolts 8 which engage teeth 60 on the gauge-bars being then held out of action. In the example shown, the adjustments of the die-case in the horizontal direction in Fig. 2 are abnormal in the case of the upper three rows of matrices only, and the adjustments in the vertical direction are all abnormal. The bolt C which effects the horizontal adjustments is therefore only required for certain matrices and is automatically brought into action by the gauge-bar 6 which controls the vertical adjustments of the diecase. In certain positions of this gauge-bar, compressed air is admitted to a piston E, which advances the bolt C into engagement with the teeth B. The bolt 8 is simultaneously withdrawn by a lever 15 operated by a piston G. Since the adjustments in the vertical direction are all abnormal, the corresponding bolt 8 is permanently locked out of action by a bar H operated by a piston H<2> and the gauge-bar is positioned for all matrices by the bolt C.

Title: Improvements in Envelope Making Machines.
Inventor: MATHYS ALBERT WILLIAM
IPC: B65H33/16
Filed: 1913-03-14
Granted: 1914-03-05
Abstract: 17,721. Mathys, A. W., [Winkler, A.]. March 14. Delivery apparatus.-Relates to apparatus for delivering envelopes, applicable to the envelopemaking machine described in Specification 6350/13. The apparatus is also provided with means for counting the envelopes in batches, the action of which is interrupted if an envelope fails to be delivered. The finished envelope issues from the machine between rollers 89, 90 and is directed by a sector 99 to a suction nozzle 108 on an oscillating hollow shaft 109, whereby it is delivered into a compartment of a rotary receiver 115, which is advanced a compartment after twenty-five envelopes have been delivered by a rod 120 operated from a wheel 124 with twenty-five ratchet-teeth. This wheel is rotated step by step as each envelope is delivered, by a pawl 125 actuated by a rod 127 from the main shaft of the machine. On the shaft 109 is a branch 158 fitted with a piston 160, pressed outward by a spring to a position to engage a bell-crank 161 connected by a link 164 to a bell-crank 167, which, when depressed, engages with a projection 168 on the pawl 125. Should no envelope be delivered, the suction is not strong enough to retract the piston 160 and, in consequence, the pawl 125 is raised clear of the wheel 124. The wheel 124 is furnished with a projection 129, which, at each complete revolution, raises an arm 130 acting through links 132, 133 to rock a member 134 riding on a loose sleeve 138, Fig. 5, on the shaft 123, on which the wheel 124 is loosely mounted. A sleeve 137 is secured on the shaft 123, and is furnished with a clutch arm 135 normally forced into engagement with a ratchet wheel 140 on the sleeve 138 which is continuously driven by a sprocket-wheel 139. When the member 134 is rocked from the ratchetwheel 124, the arm 135 engages the wheel 140, whereby the shaft 123 is driven for one revolution. A cam thereon operates the rod 120 carrying a pawl 119, whereby the receiver 115 is turned through one compartment, while a second cam 149 oscillates a stacker 146 to press the pack of envelopes, delivered from the receiver 115, along the table. A rake 153 on a pivot 154 rocked by a cam on the shaft 123 holds the pack in position after delivery. Successive packs are displaced in opposite directions by a finger 150. The envelopes on the receiver 115 slide on a guide 143 until they abut against the stop 144. The pack is then pushed off the guide bv the following vane of the receiver 115 and falls on to the table in front of the stacker 146.
