Abstract: 4813. Boult, A. J., [General Composing Co.]. Feb. 25. Keyboards for type - bar making machines. Relates to means for releasing matrices alternately from each of two adjacent magazine channels containing the same letter. The two escapements have separate driving - mechanisms which are alternately operated by a single movable key-lever. The ends of one or more movable key-levers b, Fig. 1, pass through a frame g which is reciprocated so that each key-lever engages alternately each of two key-rods c, c'. The frame is moved in one direction by a spring i, and in the other by a cam h turning on a spindle m and having two teeth n, n<1>. To the cam is pivoted at the point o a disk p, which is adapted to cover each of the teeth n, n<1> alternately. A carriage q supports two pawls r, r<1> which are connected by a spring and are adapted to engage the teeth of the cam h. The carriage is moved against the pressure of a spring by a lever t driven by any suitable shaft, for example, the matrix delivery-lever shaft. The cam h is thereby rotated by the pawls r, r' alternately in opposite directions after the composing of each line, the key-levers being shifted accordingly.

Granted: 1912-08-08
Abstract: 20,973. Reed, E. A. Sept. 22. Tracks for recreation. - Cars with hemispherical bottoms and cylindrical sides travel along a track which consists of a number of jigging conveyers A. The conveyer platforms A may slope downwards from the starting-point to the end C and deliver the cars to a roller track D, along which they travel to the finishing-point E, whence the empty cars are conveyed to the starting point by live rollers or a travelling band. The platforms A are arranged in troughs to prevent the cars from leaving the track, and the roller track D consists of two sets of rollers inclined to each other in order to keep the cars upright. The conveyers are reciprocated by suitable means and are connected to each other by links in such a manner that each has a different stroke and the cars travel with irregular speeds. Thus, if parallel tracks are arranged, as shown, the cars on the different tracks may be used for racing purposes.

Abstract: 21,505. Du Cros, W. & G., and Snodgrass, D. G. Sept. 29. Controlling-apparatus, arrangement of hand gear in conjunction with; guarding against wrong movements.-The change-speed operating- lever a is rotated on its longitudinal axis to enable an extension h of the lever to be moved from one groove of a gate to another for selecting the speed ratio, the lever then being turned about a transverse axis f to put the selected gear in operation. A frame d on the end of the lever a is pivoted by trunnions e to a block freely mounted on the axis f. The extension h is moved into either of the two grooves, arranged one on each side of the flange i, through a slot in the flange which corresponds with the neutral position of the lever. When the projection h is moved to one side or the other, it engages and operates one of the levers j, l, which are pivoted on the transverse axis f, and are connected each to a different part of the change gear. At the same time, the lever j or l not engaged by the arm h, is locked by a slide m movable transversely on bolts n. This slide has three vertical slots, the central one for the arm h and the side ones for the levers j, l. Only one of the levers j, l is, however, free at any time, the other being engaged in a notch in the side of its slot. Spring catches r hold the levers j, l in the positions to which they are adjusted.

Abstract: 699. Pilkington, H. M. Jan. 9. Copying &c. - In a step- and-repeat machine for reproducing several objects, the objects 34, Fig. 2, are mounted on a carrier 14 which is movable to bring each object into position, and means . are provided for previously positioning each object on the carrier and for bringing the carrier accurately to the successive positions in which it was when each object was adjusted. The apparatus is used in conjunction with the apparatus described in Specification 13,517/11, for making composite designs or colour negatives. The carrier consists of a circular holder, and the objects 34 are mounted in the transparent spaces 33 by springs 35, 45 and slides 40. These slides are moved to adjust the objects by screws 36, 44, 44<1> the heads of which project through slots 39 near the edge of the disk. Each negative or object preferably has a cross or other registering mark which can be used in conjunction with line or other marks on the focusing-screen to previously position each object on the holder before reproducing. The successive positions of the carrier in both focusing and reproducing are determined either by notches 46 in which a spring 47 engages, or by means of a graduated dial plate 53 in conjunction with the handle 52 carrying a worm 50, which rotates the holder 14. When several negatives are reproduced, two or more holders are mounted on a slide 13 and are in turn brought into position in front of the lens by a screw-shaft 55, and the holders are accurately positioned by means of a graduated plate 57 in connexion with the handle 56 and shaft 55.
