Abstract: 13,515. Lake, W. E., [Cottrell & Sons Co.. C. B.]. June 6. Printing-surfaces; make-ready arrangements. -Electrotype printing-plates are simultaneously backed and formed with gradations which obviate the use of make-ready devices by casting a backing on to the back of an electrotype shell while the face of the shell is held upon a suction surface with a suitable overlay between the shell and the suction surface. As shown, a reverse overlay 20, Fig. '8, is pasted to an electrotype shell 21, and the shell is placed face downwards on a perforated top 11 of a vacuum chamber 13, the vacuum in which is maintained by a pump 15 driven by a motor 16 and connected to the chamber by a flexible pipe 18. Partitions 14 in the chamber 13 prevent the top 11 from buckling. The chamber 13 is moved on guide rails 9, 10 under a platen 8 and molten metal is applied to the back of the electrotype shell 21, the metal being pressed if desired by the platen 8. The chamber 13 is fitted with electric coils 13 for heating the top 11, and the overlay may be perforated to allow the vacuum to have a greater action on the shell 21.

Abstract: 24,374. Fairbrother, H., [Kellie, J. D.]. Nov. 2. Levels, of the kind having at one end a sliding piece 9 to determine the slope of inclined surfaces, are provided with graduations on their sides to indicate the difference in height of the two ends of the tested surface, for various lengths of surface. The slide 9, which can be fixed in any position by the screw 15, carries a pointer which moves over a scale 5. The figures on the upper surface of the level represent various lengths of tested surface, and the figure in the appropriate vertical column 19, opposite the division on the scale 5 indicated by the pointer shows the required difference in height. An alternative method of graduating the sides of the level is described in which the distance the slide must be pulled out to give any required degree of inclination of surface is shown for various lengths of surface.

Granted: 1912-02-29
Abstract: 26,763. Cady, W. M. April 19, [Convention date]. Track apparatus for stopping trains. - In order to prevent the brakes of railway or like vehicles from being applied by the engagement of the automatic tripping-mechanism with obstacles other than the usual track contacts, an auxiliary lever is arranged adjacent to the main tripping-lever in such a position as to be unaffected by the usual track contacts, the arrangement being such that the brakes are applied when the main lever only is actuated by the track apparatus, an encounter with other obstacles on the track causing also the movement of the auxiliary lever which renders the operation of the main lever ineffectual for applying the brakes. In the form shown, the main lever 14, adapted to engage a track contact 17, is secured to the spindle 13 of a rotary valve 4, which is formed with a port 12 and arranged in a casing communicating with the train-pipe 3 and with the atmosphere by ports 8, 9. An auxiliary lever 11 is arranged adjacent to the lever 14 and secured to a sleeve 10 carrying a second rotary valve 5, which has ports 6, 7, Fig. 4, normally coinciding with the ports 8, 9. When the lever 14 only is operated, the valve 4 is moved in one direction or the other to bring the port 12 over the ports 6, 8 or the ports 7, 9, thus venting the train-pipe; but, when the leve 11 also is operated, the valve 5 is rotated so as to bring the ports 6, 7 out of coincidence with the ports 8, 9, thus preventing the train-pipe from being vented. The valve 4 is retained in its normal position by a spring 18, 19 and is held on its seat by a second spring 23. In a modification, two auxiliary levers are used, one being placed on each side of the main lever.

Abstract: 16,930. Liddle, J., [Pierce Wrapping Machine Co.]. July 20. Wire and other cores, covering by winding.- Relates to machines for covering coils of wire or rope, vehicle tyres, or other annular objects. The wrapping-material is contained within a closed shuttle which rotates through the centre of the object to be covered. Rollers 18, 19 having roughened surfaces rotate the article to be wrapped, which is supported by guide-rollers 22, 23, 141. The rollers 18, 19 are mounted on a carriage 13 vertically adjustable by the engagement of a lever 24 in one of a series of hooks 25, further adjustment being made by rotating a vertical screw carrying, on a nut 30, a link 31 pivoted to the other end of the lever 24, so that a portion of the article z to be wrapped is in the centre of a rotary shuttle, Fig. 6. The shuttle comprises side walls 46, 47 pivoted at 48 and carrying, on short links 55, lower walls 52. The end walls 53 of the shuttle are adapted to register and to be locked by a spring bolt 54 when in the closed position. The shuttle is in the open position, shown in Fig. 2, for the insertion of the article to be wrapped. An adjusting-lever 102 is lowered to close it by means of a link 106 attached to levers 89, 90 counterweighted at 91, 92 and adapted to lift the segments of the shuttle by levers 99, 100. To apply the wrapping-material X, the shuttle is rotated on guide disks 39, 40, the disk 39 having an outer geared rim to engage with a geared rim 65 on the shuttle. The wrapping- material X is contained within the shuttle and is fed out over rollers 68 past a tension roller 79 and through a folding-device 80, Figs. 6 and 15, which folds over one edge so that the outer edges of the wrapping, when complete, are doubled. When the shuttle is rotating to apply the wrapping, the wrapping-material is pressed against the outer walls by centrifugal force. A wire bobbin 81 feeds wire round a tension roller 82 at the same time that the wrapping is being applied. A strip of paper may be fed from a roll 131 over a gummed roll 136 to be applied to the rim of the wrapped tyre &c. for greater security.
