Patent GB-190102849-A (GB)
Title: Improved Machine for Cutting Card Board specially applicable for the use of Book-binders.
Inventor: HAGER FREDERICK
Filed: 1901-02-09
Granted: 1901-05-04
Abstract: 2849. Hager, F. Feb. 9. Cutting machines for cardboard &c.-The machine is specially applicable for cutting cardboard for the use of bookbinders in the construction and manufacture of folding backs for books. Disc cutters, having single or double cutting-edges, are arranged alternately or in other order side by side, being carried by hangers H, which are loosely mounted on a shaft J and pressed downwards against a roll A by means of adjustable screws K. The screws K pass through a beam L, which is rotatable about trunnions at its ends to facilitate the adjusting of the screws &c., and is maintained in the vertical position during the working of the machine by means of a link M, which may be engaged with a stud on the frame. To prevent clogging &c., the double cutters may have the space between the pair of cutting-edges filled up with flexible material such as leather, rubber, &c. Both the single and double cutters are each provided with a depression or notch, so that the sheet of cardboard is divided into parallel strips connected by ties as shown in Fig. 5. The cut sheet is delivered from the machine between the pair of rolls G, F, while the severed fragments of stock are pressed by springs 9 through apertures 13 in a plate 12, and, travelling round with the drum A, are removed from the latter by a scraper 3.

Title: Improvements in the Controlling of the Working of Railway Signals and Points by Electricity.
Inventor: TIMMIS ILLIUS AUGUSTUS
Filed: 1901-05-02
Granted: 1902-04-10
Abstract: 9080. Timmis, I. A. May 2. Grant of Patent refused. Controlling and locking signals; interlocking ; safety and locking bars; indicators and repeaters, point &c.-Relates to the method of controlling the working of electrically-operated signals, points, ground discs, locking-bars, &c., by which the operating-lever, after an initial partial movement to effect the operation of the points &c., is held looked against further movement until a return current, indicating the correct movement of the points &c., passes through an electromagnet arranged to release the lock on the lever. In the present invention, the completion of the stroke of the lever is effected automatically by the action of the releasing-electromagnet. A suitable arrangement of apparatus is shown in the Figure, but other arrangements may be employed. The slide A connected to the lever is formed with slots C, C<1>, S-S<1>, in which work rollers R, R<1> operated by the electromagnets M, M<1>. On the initial operation of the lever, the slide A moves to the right until the shoulder S abuts against the roller R, the roller then preventing further movement of the lever. When the return current energizes the magnet M, the roller R is raised, and acts on the incline C to complete the stroke of the lever. The parts S<1>, R', C', M<1> act similarly on the return stroke.

Title: Improvements in or connected with Printing Machines.
Inventor: HOYT GUY LIVINGSTONE
Filed: 1901-05-04
Granted: 1902-05-01
Abstract: 9290. Hoyt, G. L. May 4. Cylinder machines with plane printing-surfaces.- Means for reciprocating the type bed. On the underside of the bed are two racks 9, with one of which gears a wheel 8 to drive the bed through the greater part of its movement in one direction, and with the other a wheel 8<a> gears to drive the bed through the greater part of its movement in the opposite direction. The wheels 8 and 8<a> are on the ends of a lever which is rocked by a lever 5 and cam 3 to lift the wheels alternately into gear with their racks, one being lifted when the other is lowered. The wheels 8, 8<a> gear with each other, and the wheel 8 is geared to the driving-shaft 6. The shaft of the cam 3 is also geared to the shaft 6. The motion of the bed is completed and reversed by means of a rack 13 on a bar 12 mounted to reciprocate beneath the bed. The bar 12 is reciprocated by a rod 11 connecting it to a crank-pin 18 on the gear-wheel 8. The rack 13 on the bar 12 gears with the pinion 15 on a fixed shaft on the framing. On each end of the bed is a short rack 17, 17<a> , and, as the wheel 8 or 8<a> runs out of gear with its rack 9, the rack 17 or 17<a> gears with the pinion 15, the movement of which, due to the rack 13, completes the reversal and movement of the bed until the other wheel 8 or 8<a> comes into gear with its rack 9 to drive the bed in the opposite direction.

Title: Improved Apparatus for use in Forging Horse-shoe-nails.
Inventor: LANKHORST OTTO
Filed: 1902-11-24
Granted: 1903-10-15
Abstract: 25,813. Lankhorst, O. Nov. 24. Nails.-Relates to apparatus for use in forging horse-shoe nails. The nail is forged from a bar 14 by means of hammers 7 actuated by cams on the shaft 1 and by a drawing-roller 9 mounted on a disc fixed to the shaft. In order that the forged nail may be cut off without moving the bar 14, a cutter 12 is mounted in a slide 11 carrying the anvil 10 for supporting the nail. The cutter is mounted on a stem 21 actuated by a cam-disc 18 on a shaft 17 driven from the shaft 1. By means of this disc, the cutter 12 is first raised, and then the slide 11 &c. are moved to bring the cutter over the nail. By means of levers 26, 27, adapted to engage with the disc 18 and stem 21 respectively, the cutter 12 descends and draws the nail between the cutter or cutters 25 mounted in the slide so as to sever it from the bar, the parts afterwards being returned to the original positions. The nail drops into an outlet channel 32. The nail bar 14 is held by a pair of jaws, secured in slides 34 mounted in the forked head of the feeding-tongs, and is also supported between a block and a brake block 36 fixed to a weighted lever 37. A slide 39, secured to one of the slides 34, is actuated, through a spring-controlled lever 41, by a cam-face on the disc 18 so as to open the jaws. Slides 46, 47 carrying the tongs are then actuated by a cam-surface to draw the tongs backwards. At the end of this movement, the jaws close upon the bar, and the tongs are returned, thus feeding forwards the bar. In order that the nail bar may be released at any time, the lever 37 is raised by means of a link 49 and treadle to free the brake block 36, and, by means of a link 50, a wedge 51 is removed from between blocks 52, 53 so as to free the jaws.
