Abstract: 6516. Thornton, A. A., [Rhoades, L. W.]. March 15. Making compound fabrics.-Relates to the general construction of machines for uniting strips of metal and fabric, for use, for example, in making tags or labels. Reels 4, 5 of unequal widths are detachably mounted on a standard 2 for the fabric strip 35 and metal strip 34. The metal strip is wider than the fabric strip. The strip 35 passes beneath a guide-roller 25, and both strips pass between pressure rollers 7, 8 mounted on a standard 6. The strip 35 is coated with an adhesive which melts on being heated. The pressure roller 8 is hollow, and is adapted to be heated by internal means, such as a gas-burner 23. The massive roller 7 is carried by an arm hinged at its rear end to the bracket 6, and provided in front of the roller 7 with a lifting-handle 19. A stop on the arm holds it in a vertical position while the strips are being arranged on the roller 8. The compound strip is wound on to a roller 12 mounted in oblique slots 29 in a standard 11 and turned by a handle 28, the roller being retained in position by catches 30. A fabric 36 such as tissue-paper is passed from a reel 10 and wound-up with the compound strip to prevent the convolutions from adhering to each other.

IPC: B43M5/02
Filed: 1910-03-22
Granted: 1911-02-09
Abstract: 7196. Burr, C. A. March 22. Feeding sheets &c.- In envelope-sealing machines, the flaps of the envelopes are turned forward from the bodies and are directed between feed - rollers, which then act on the flaps to withdraw the envelopes from a receptacle. The envelopes are placed in a receptacle 29 with the flaps downwards, the lowermost flap registering with a similarly-shaped aperture 31 in the bottom of the receptacle. The feed - rollers comprise a number of disks 15, 48 on shafts 9, 40, pressed together by springs 45 and levers 42. Curved webs forming a ledge 19 extend between the disks 15, and a moistening-pad 22 is secured to the edge of the ledge 19. The pad 22 receives water from a roller 36 mounted in a tank 32. The lowermost flap is separated by a bent finger 27 on a rotating shaft 26, and is pressed thereby into gaps 21 in the disks 15. The flap is then engaged on the gummed surface by the damp pad 22, which carries it upwards between the feed-rollers. A flat portion 49 of the disks 48 allows the pad 22 to pass, and rubber blocks 50 in the disks 48 grip the flap behind the gummed portion and draw the envelope from the receptacle 29.

Granted: 1910-12-22
Abstract: 13,298. Baumann, E. C. A., and Freytag, E. E. June 1. Steering and balancing. - The supporting- surfaces 5 of an aerial machine are pivoted about transverse axes 4 on frames 3, which are pivoted about the longitudinal axis 2 of the machine. The front and rear surfaces are provided with oppositely-deposed arms 6, which are connected by extensible cords 8. Normally the surfaces are uncontrolled, and an increase of pressure on the forward plane causes a decrease of its angle of incidence, with a corresponding increase in the angle of the rear plane. An operating-cord may be attached to the cord 8 to vary the normal incidence of the two planes. The cord 8, Fig. 2, instead of being attached to the arm 6, may pass over rollers and be attached to the rear of the flexible curved surfaces. Ailerons 18, Fig. 3, are mounted parallel to the surfaces, and are controlled by an endless cord 21 passing around pulleys 20 on the axles of the ailerons, around guide-pulleys 22, and a fixed pulley 23. When the surface 5 tilts about the longitudinal axis 2, the aileron on the raised side is automatically moved inwards, and that on the lower side is moved outwards. The pulley 23 may be adjusted manually to actuate the ailerons independently of the automatic action.

Abstract: 19,460. Bond, E. S. Aug. 19. Drawing wire.-The winding-drum is driven at a low speed for threading and at a high speed for drawing by means of back gear, and can be tilted to facilitate removal of the drawn wire. The drum 1 is loosely mounted on its shaft, and is driven by a counterweighted pin 5 lifted into engagement by a collar operated by a lever 20; tension of the wire holds in engagement the pin, which drops if the wire breaks or runs out. Bifurcated arms 21 allow the drum to be swivelled by means of a worm 24 and wheel 25. The main shaft is driven through the back gearing and a clutch 37 from a pulley 28 and direct by the pulley 29, the intermediate pulley 30 being loose. The beltshifter is operated by a rod 39 actuated by handles or by treadles 43 at either side of the machine, a cam-plate 46 on the rod operating the clutch in unison, and a spring-box 51 always tending to return the rod to the neutral position. In a modified construction, Fig. 4, pedals 56, 57 with concentric shafts 58, 59 are arranged at the end of the machine, and these operate the belt-shifting rod 39 through links 60, 61, 63.

Abstract: 23,237. Farrar, W., and Young, S. Oct. 7. Machines for boarding, staking, and the like. -In leather boarding, softening, and graining machines in which a pair of rollers is employed to draw the leather over a blade carried by a table which is rocked into position by a treadle, the lower roller is capable of vertical adjustment by means operated by the treadle. The treadle 4 operates by chains 5, passing over pulleys 5<Î>, to bring the blade 3<Î> into position between rollers 7. 8, which rotate in the same direction. The roller 8 is mounted in a vertically-slidable bearing 13, adapted to be raised by levers 14, pivoted at 14<Î>, and connected by rods 15 to the treadle 4. After the blade 3<Î> has reached its extreme inward position, as determined by a stop 6, further depression of the treadle 4 extends springs 16, and raises the bearings 13.

Granted: 1911-07-20
Abstract: 23,954. Hopper, F. Oct. 17. Brake mechanism. - In a cycle roller-lever brake mechanism, the lever is connected by an arm or extension 4 to a sliding or rising and falling member 10, arranged within the interior of the handle - bar stem and carrying a projecting arm 16, which extends through and works within a slot in the stem, and is connected to an external brake-rod 18. As shown in Fig. 1, a relief spring 12 is arranged within the stem, and is secured at one end to the sliding member and at its lower end to a part 13, 14 removably fitted within the stem. The arm 16 is secured in a recess or slot 19 in the part 10 by a wedge 21 driven through the lower part of the slot. A hole closed by a screw 23 facilitates the removal of the wedge. To operate both a front and a rear brake from two roller levers, a pair of D-section sliding pieces are arranged in the stem, each piece being connected to a relief spring within the stem and to a rearwardly-extending arm upon the corresponding roller lever, and each being provided with a forwardly-projecting arm passing through a separate slot in the stem. In order that both of the brake - rods may be central, one of the forwardly-projecting arms is made shorter than the other, and to provide a clearance for a bolt screwing into a stem-expanding block or nut, the D-shaped pieces may be grooved upon their inner faces, the relief springs being connected at their lower ends to the block. Screws passing through the handlebar to engage grooves in the levers prevent endlong movement, and an opening at the top of the handle-bar lug is provided for mounting the arms upon the levers. Instead of using a tension spring in the stem a torsion spring surrounding the roller lever and concealed within the bearing-sleeve in the handle-bar may be provided. The sliding piece may be solid, and for two brakes, one piece may carry a forwardlyprojecting arm, and the other an arm projecting through the side of the stem. According to the Provisional Specification, the arm upon the rolling lever may be attached to the sliding piece by a transverse key or wedge driven through the upper portion of the slot in the sliding piece.
