Granted: 1906-06-14
Abstract: 26,392. Udewald, M., and Goddertz, O. Dec. 18. Measures of length ; counting apparatus. - A measuring-rod for cloth &c. is provided with a counter which is operated by pressing a lever and shows whole units and half units, special zeroizing arrangements being provided. The actuating-lever q, Fig. 2, drives an eighttoothed fractions' dial by a spring pawl, this dial showing " ¢ " or a blank space alternately. Transfer to a units' dial is effected in the known manner, through a ten-toothed intermediate wheel l having the lower portions of alternate teeth partly cut away. The fractions' spindle carries a disk k with four notches and above this disk a four-armed piece k<1> having a notch in each arm coinciding with those on the disk. The intermediate wbeel is placed so that it is turned only at alternate actuations of the fractions' dial, when a notch is adjacent to it. This wheel drives a twenty - toothed wheel m on the units' spindle, which transfers similarly to a tens' spindle. For zeroizing, the tens' dial may be frictionally mounted so as to be turned back by a stud, and the fractions' spindle also may end in a stud so that the other dials can be turned to zero.. The units' dial then has a zero notch with which a spring engages when pushed inwards. Fig. 4 shows a second zeroizing and locking device operated by a stud v on a spring u. The inside of this stud is roughened and shaped to grip the. roughened conical end w of the fractions' spindle when pushed inwards. The same action pushes a sleeve x<1> forward to engage the notched units' dial at zero. Another locking-device, Fig. 7, comprises two spring pawls e<3>, e<4> which rest upon the notched edges of the units' and tens' dial. A modified form of counter employs two dials only, one of which shows both units and fractions.

Granted: 1906-03-08
Abstract: 26,477. Reynolds, J. R. Feb. 27, [date applied for under Patents Act, 1901]. Bookbinding. - Relates chiefly to the looper mechanism and the signature-feeding devices o f book - stitching m achines. The semicircular needles are mounted in pairs in blocks attached to the machine frame. They are actuated by a pair of reciprocating racks which gear with pinions o the needle arbors, alternate needles being actuated by the same rack. The loopers 21, Fig. 8, are two-pronged and are fixed to a shaft 24, which is given a reciprocating and a rotary motion by a cam-actuated lever 26 in the following manner :- The lever 26 is hinged to a link 29 which is secured adjustably to along sleeve 31 by nuts 33. It is not fastened to the shaft 24, but any relative movement is resisted by two springs 44, 45, Fig. 9, confined between shoulders 42, fixed to the shaft, and internal shoulders 46, 47 fixed to the sleeve. During the first portion of a stroke of the lever 26, the shaft 24, being free, is moved longitudinally until one of the collars 39, 40 impinges upon the corresponding stop 25. Further longitudinal movement being impossible, the sleeve 31, as it continues, compresses one of the springs and moves relatively to the shaft 24. The sleeve 31 is provided with a curved slot 37 through which a pin 38, fixed to the shaft 24, projects, whereby the relative movement of the sleeve and shaft produces the requisite rotary motion of the shaft and loopers. The signaturecarrying bars 60 are clamped between a disk 62 and a shoulder on a head 63. Both the disk and the shoulder are grooved, as shown in Fig. 13, so as to provide increased bearing-surface for the bars without increasing the size of the disks. The head 63 is free on the spindle 66 and is raised and lowered by a lever 78, to which it is connected by links 77. A bush 68 is periodically rotated by a cam-lever 89 and a rack, and engages with grooves 85 to rotate the head 63 and the bars 60 when in their lowest position by means of four bars 86. In a modification, the bolts that secure the disk 82 to the head are hollow and are engaged by round bars in place of the bars 86. The perforators are operated by a bar 102 which is reciprocated by a book.

Title: Improvements in Hoisting and Dumping Apparatus
Inventor: JOHNSON JAMES YATE
Filed: 1906-01-15
Granted: 1906-08-02
Abstract: 1094. Johnson, J. Y., [Discharging Apparatus Manufacturing Co.]. Jan. 15. Skips; ropes, arranging ; shocks, preventing.- Relates to apparatus in which a suspended bucket 12, on being hoisted by a rope 13, makes contact with a guide 10 hinged to the upper end of a shoot 9, in such a manner that, on the pull on. the hoisting-rope being continued, the bucket swings over and dumps its contents into the shoot, and comprises means for suspending the apparatus so that the shock on overwinding is minimized. The shoot 9 depends from a fall-block 8 hanging in the bight of a rope 15 passing from a guide-sheave 19 and to sheaves 18, 17 on upper and lower blocks 7<A>, 7B respectively, its end being attached at 16 to the upper block 7<A>. The hoisting-rope 13 passes round guide-sheaves to a sheave 14 on the lower block 7B. The sheave 19 is so positioned that the apex of the bight of the rope 15 approximately lies in the line of the vertical part of the hoisting-rope 13, and the dumping-apparatus carried by the sheave 8 is weighted to about twice the weight of the loaded bucket, so that normally the blocks 7<A>, 7B, which are designed to rest against one another, are drawn together by the tension in the rope 15 acting against that of the rope 13. If the operator continues the pull on the hoisting-rope after the bucket has assumed the dumping position, the increased tension on the rope 13 causes the separation of the blocks 7<A>, 7<B>, and the fall-block 8 is slightly raised.

Abstract: 14,189. Heid, N. June 20. Bending; corrugating; lathe and like drivers; work-holders.-In a machine for grooving and coiling a strip round a mandrel 1 to form a pipe, hyperboloidal pressing-rollers 5, drawn together by springs &c., for neutralizing the strains about the seam and levelling any irregularities, are mounted immediately behind the grooving and coiling rollers 4 in a carriage 2, which is slid on a shaft 9 by a screw 6 and gearing 7, 8. The mandrel end is centred between jaws 37 which are moved radially between a toothed disk 33 and a coverplate 38 by wedges 39 and springs 40. Another disk 31, on the same hollow shaft 32 as the disk 33, radially guides jaws 35 which are fitted with rollers engaging cam or eccentric slots in a toothed disk 30, partly rotatable on the disk 31 and driven by a wheel on the main shaft 9. As the carriage approaches one of its limits, a stop 17 engages a wedge 16 and causes the jaws 12 of a clamp carried by the carriage to grip the tube, the rotation of the main shaft 9 is reversed, and the tube is thus pushed through the open jaws 35 and through the spring-pressed jaws 37. At the other limit of motion of the carriage, the wedge 16 is loosened by a stop 18 to open the jaws 12, the rotation of the shaft 9 is again reversed, the tube is gripped by the jaws 35, and a further length of tube is made. A clamp with jaws 27, Fig. 11, moved radially by eccentric slots 25 in a disk 24 may be used instead of the clamp 12, the disk 24 being partly rotated by a pinion 23 on a sleeve 10, sliding on the shaft 9 and having friction cones at its ends to engage other cones on the shaft. The shaft cones are movable against the action of springs, and are arranged so as to reverse an electric driving-clutch.
