Title: Improvements in Knotting Appliances.
Inventor: POEGE MAX
IPC: B65H69/04
Filed: 1913-11-04
Granted: 1914-03-05
Abstract: 25,188. Poege, M. Nov. 4. Tying or knotting. -A thread is passed obliquely from a pair of cam-actuated shears 6 and a guide 7 to a rotary thread-carrier 3, which lays the thread around a non-revoluble mandrel 1. During the latter part of the operative revolution of the thread-carrier, the mandrel is moved axially to the right, causing the end of the thread to be passed under a lip 8 on the mandrel and over the end of the mandrel. The thread-end is then gripped on the end of the mandrel by a cam-actuated hook 4 and is released by the thread-carrier. Thereupon the mandrel is slid wholly within its supporting-sleeve 2, which casts the looped thread off the mandrel, and the knot is tightened by the descent of a finger 9. The thread-carrier is driven by a spur-wheel train which include a pair of elliptical wheels, so that it is given two revolutions in each knot-tying cycle, the first revolution being quicker than the second. The hook 4 is connected to a projecting slide 28, 29 co-operating with a fixed cam 31.

Abstract: 17,679. Haddan, R., [Cutler, W. C., and Boyler, E. J.]. July 25. Plates and the like, travelling.- In a mechanical directory apparat u s, information such as lists of dentists, doctors, lawyers, &c. in various towns is printed on cards 4, any one of which can b e selected by manipulating a dial 15<1> and then raised into view by pressing a plunger 17, the lifting-power being supplied by the depression of a platform 52. By means of a cable 13 wound on a hub 14, the dial 15<1> rotates pulleys 10, which operate steel straps 9 carrying pins 8, between which lie short rods 7 projecting from the tops of the cards 4. Thus, by turning the dial 15<1> to the required position with respect to an index sheet 24, any card may be brought to a central position, in which hooks 28 can engage the projections 7 and lift it into view. The hooks 28 are carried by straps 26 which pass over pulleys 27 and are attached to a cross-piece 29 and sliding block 30, which can be drawn downwards by chain and lever mechanism operated from a rod 38. This rod is tensioned by a spring 41 attached to a rod 43, which is drawn down by link-work when the platform 52 is depressed, but until the plunger 17 is operated, it remains locked by a bolt 56 engaging a detent 55. When the plunger 17 is depressed, the pointed end 18 engages holes in a fixed plate 22 and table 19, and also a hole 21 in a rotatable plate 20, the latter hole being normally slightly out of register. The plate 20 is thus rotated through a small angle, and by means of link-work it withdraws the bolt 56 and allows the rod 38 to rise, under the influence of the spring 41 and controlled by a dash-pot 39, and the selected card is raised into view. A fluid check 51 resets the apparatus when the platform 52 is released. Instructions to users are printed on a fixed plate 3.

Title: Improvements in and relating to Delivery Mechanism for Platen Printing Presses.
IPC: B41F1/28
Filed: 1914-10-19
Granted: 1915-10-14
Abstract: 21,186. Marks, E. C. R., [Miller Saw- Trimmer Co.]. Oct. 19. Delivery apparatus for platen presses of the type in which the platen oscillates between receiving and printing positions comprises oscillating grippers into which the edge of a printed sheet is inserted by the first movement of the platen from the printing position, such grippers moving into taking position clear of the tympan and then being allowed to drop thereon. The grippers comprise pairs of spring blades J', J<9> adjustably spaced and fixed on a shaft J<6> carried by and adapted to rock slightly in an arm J', which is adjustably secured to a toothed quadrant J<2> mounted on a stationary pivot and oscillated by a toothed segment J<3> actuated by a groove cam J<5>, these parts, when applied to a press feeder such as is described in Specification 20,945/13, being carried by the hood thereof. The arm J<1> is thus oscillated between the sheet-taking position and a position over a delivery board F<12>, and in moving to taking position the grippers are guided by a slide link J<37> linked to the gripper shaft J<6> and bearing on a plate cam J<36> pivoted at one end on the framing and supported at the other end on a spring-controlled bell-crank lever J<34> adjustably connected by a screw and spring J" with a bell-crank lever J<28> in the path of a lug J<31> on the cam J<5>. Near the end of the travel of the grippers, the lug J<31> operates to raise them, so that they move clear of the tympan and until the sheet has been printed and the platen is about to move to receiving position, when the lug passes clear and the grippers fall on to the tympan. Just prior to this, the grippers have been opened at the end of their travel by a slide J<11>, Fig. 6, arranged between the gripper members and operated by a tappet J<21> on a bell-crank lever J<20> carried by the segment J<2> contacting an adjustable stop J<23>, whereby through the bell-crank J<20>, a spring-controlled rod J<16>, and a crank J<15> on a shaft J<14> mounted in the gripper head, a segment J<13> actuates a. rack J<10> on the slide J". The first movement of the platen introduces the printed sheet into the grippers, which are then rocked over the delivery table F<12>, whereupon another tappet J<22> on the bell-crank J<20> acts through the rod J<16> to move the slide so as to open the grippers and to move the slide still further so as to eject the sheet. The adjustments render the mechanism applicable for delivering sheets of various sizes.

Abstract: 23,727. Timmis, E. W. Dec. 8. Composite springs; helical springs.-In motorcars having auxiliary helical springs for absorbing small shocks, arranged between the upper and lower parts of the usual laminated springs, the helical springs are made heavy, compared to their strength and resilience, in order that their inertia may absorb vibrations. A special link cranked to avoid the end of the upper laminated spring is used for connecting the auxiliary spring to the lower part of the laminated spring. Fig. 1 shows the heavy helical spring A arranged between plates D, G, the lower plate G being adjustably secured to a link B connected at C to the lower part of the spring and cranked to avoid the end of the upper part. A hole E in the upper plate D is shaped to admit the link readily and also acts as a guide for the shank which is of crescent section. The increased inertia is obtained by enlarging the diameter of the spring.
