Title: Improvements in or relating to Machines for Laying, Measuring and Cutting Cloth or Fabrics.
Inventor: BOSSHARD ARNOLD
IPC: B65H45/103
Filed: 1909-05-27
Granted: 1910-03-10
Abstract: 12,566. Bosshard, A. May 27. Cuttling; measuring. -The reciprocating laying-device of a cuttling- machine has its travel increased at periodical time intervals to bring a fold of the fabric beyond the other folds into the path of a cutting-device, which is actuated as soon as the feld is made, thus cutting the fabric into pieces of predetermined length. The laying-arms g, h, which carry the laying-bars i, i<1> to fold the fabric on the table a and beneath the pressbeams l, m, are driven from a shaft b through gearing c, Fig. 2, and cranks d on the shaft p, slots in the cranks being slidably engaged by crank-pins e of connecting-rods f. The rods f have pins g<1>, which are adjustable in slots in the arms g, h, whereby the travel of the arms may be altered, the beams l, m being simultaneously adjusted in oblique slots in the frame to vary the length of a fold. To increase the travel of the arms g, h, after a certain number of folds have been made, so as to allow a single fold to project under the beam m and between the cutting-blades n, o, toothed wheels t, driven from the shaft p by gears q, s, are mounted loose on that shaft, and have circular grooves u in which run rollers v mounted concentrically with crank-pins e. The circular groove has a recess w, and the ratio of transmission of the driving-gear of the wheels t is such that, after a certain number of folds have been made, the pins e engage the recesses w in one of the deadcentres of the path of the crank-pins, and the travel of the connecting-rods is thus increased. The ratio is so calculated that the engagement of the roller in the recess always takes place at the same dead-centre, and when the arms are moving towards the beam m. A spindle y is driven by a chain gear from the shaft p and carries at its ends cams z, which, by means of levers a<1>, b<1>, raise the bars c<1>, which are connected together by a beam carrying the knifeblade o. The ratio of transmission from the shaft p is such that the knife is raised towards the fixed knife n as soon as the extended fold is formed, and the fabric is thus cut behind the fold, as shown in Fig. 5.

Title: Improvements in Machines for Casting Stereotype Plates.
Inventor: HOE ROBERT
IPC: B41D3/00
Filed: 1909-08-10
Granted: 1910-01-13
Abstract: 18,419. Hoe, R. Aug. 10. Stereotype.-Relates to means for continuously casting curved stereotype plates in which the mould travels continuously away from the delivery nozzle. In the example shown, the mould comprises a continuously-rotating core and an endless matrix passing around two rollers adjacent thereto. The metal flows from a pot through a pipe 3 and a flattened spout 10, and is delivered between a core cylinder 15 driven continuously by gearing from the main shaft and an endless matrix passing around rollers 19, 20, driven by gearing from the cylinder 15. The spout 10 may be heated by burners 11 or cooled by a sprav 12. The cylinders 19, 20 are each provided with a recess 23, Fig. 2, adapted to receive blocks 24. Between the blocks 24 and a second wedge-shaped bar 25 are clamped the adjacent ends of a carrier band 18 on which the matrix rests. The ends of the halves 26 of the matrix are clamped between the bar 25 and a third bar 27. The mould is closed at each side by two bevelled segments which together encircle the cylinder 15, and slide axially in T-shaped grooves on the surface thereof. The segments are separated to release the cast plate as they come to the bottom by two slides operated by cams on the shaft of the cylinder 15. The plate as it is cast is cut up by knives 41 located in radial grooves in the cylinder 15. Each knife is projected by a pair of cams on the frames to engage a co-operating knife 54 on a cylinder 52 of half the diameter. The upper half of the mould cylinder 15 is cooled by a spray from a pipe 55 entering through one of the journals. The water is conducted away by a pipe 57 passing through the second journal. The cut plates are deposited by the rotation of the cylinder 15 on a receiver consisting of a segmental frame 60 supporting three rollers 64. The receiver is then lowered by levers 66 operated by a cam on the shaft 53 to deposit the plate on to a series of continuously-driven bevelled rollers 74, which carry it out of the machine.

Granted: 1912-03-04
Abstract: 5244. Rosie, J., and McKelvie, J. March 2. [Addition to 4283/09.] No Patent granted (Sealing fee not paid). Valves controlled from a distance. -Relates to operating - means for controlling the supply of gas to burners by varying the pressure of the gas mains, of the kind described in the parent Specification, a third bell b<5> being used for the purpose of extinguishing at a pressure not greater than that used for lighting. The bell b<5> has a liquid seal carried by the bell B. When the gas pressure is raised sufficiently to lift the bell B, a pin f<4> carried by the bell b<5> engages with a notch f<6> of the pivoted cam f<1>, so that, when the pressure is subsequently lowered, the bell b<5> is suspended and its seal broken. The back-pressure in the chamber A<1> is then released, the bell A rises, and gas passes to the burner. By the same operation, the projection of the bell A pushes up the rod b<7> of the bell b<5>, and the pin f<4> and cam f<1> are disengaged and ready for the extinguishing operation. To extinguish, the bell B is lifted by an increase of pressure, a pin f<5> carried thereby preventing the engagement of the cam f<1> and pin f<4>, whereupon the bell b<5> is free to fall. By lifting the bell B, the bell b<5> is sealed and gas passes through to the outside of the bell A, which then falls and closes the supply to the burner. The cam may be so shaped that some of the lights may be extinguished at different times.

Title: Improved Appliance for Fastening Together Loose Sheets of Paper.
Inventor: ALBERTI LEO
IPC: B31F5/02
Filed: 1911-06-03
Granted: 1912-05-30
Abstract: 13,405. Alberti, L., Braun, R., and Braun, K. June 3. Fastening sheets together by punching.- Relates to an appliance for fastening together sheets of paper, of the type in which a tongue is cut out from the sheets and inserted in a simultaneously cut - out slot in the sheets by introducing the tongue into the eye of a needle which forms the slot. A cutter 4 carries a slidably-mounted spring- pressed plate 10, and is mounted together with a needle 5 on a pressing spindle 2. In the cutter 4 is pivoted a spring-pressed lever 7 which is so shaped as to be pressed forward into the position shown, as it is lowered with the cutter, by a bolt 8 on the plate 10 passing through a slot 6 in the cutter. In operation, the cutter is forced down, the plate 10 first coming in contact with the papers on the matrix and the cutter 4 and needle 5 then forming a tongue and slot respectively. The lever 7 bends the tongue downwards and is then forced out by the bolt 8 contacting therewith and pushes the tongue into the needle eye. On allowing the needle and cutter to retract under the action of a spring, the needle draws the paper tongue through the slot, thus completing the fastening operation. In a modification the lever 7 is pivoted near its middle to the cutter 4, its upper extension forming a second bearing-surface whereby it is both projected and withdrawn by the bolt 8. Further, the needle 5 is not rigidly fixed to the cutter but is connected therewith by a catch, which is released by contact with a projection after the paper tongue has been introduced into the needle eye and allows the needle to fly up under the action of a spring, while the papers are still pressed down by the plate 10 and the lever 7 is in the outward tonguepressing position.
