Patent GB-191112143-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in or connected with Paper Laying and like Machines.
Inventor: VICKERY FREDERICK WILLIAM
IPC: B65H31/10
Filed: 1911-05-19
Granted: 1912-05-20
Abstract: 12,143. Vickery, F. W. May 19. [Cognate Application, 13,008/11.] Delivery apparatus.-A paper-cutting machine is provided with a delivery apparatus of the kind set out in Specification 17,257/06, [Class 31, Cutting &c.], for laying the cut sheets on a table, and the apparatus is arranged to be automatically raised or the table to be automatically lowered by mechanism operated through a clutch, which is put into gear by a hand-controlled cam, and out of gear at each revolution by an adjustable cam, so that the rate of ascent or descent can be varied. This arrangement may be used in conjunction with a set of pressing and straightening devices which act on the pile of delivered sheets, and are arranged to bring into action the adjustable cam, when the raising or lowering gear is acting too quickly. As shown in Fig. 2, the shaft 44 which controls the raising of the delivery apparatus or descent of the table is fitted with a freely mounted clutch member 38 constantly driven from the conveyer-driving roller 34. This clutch member 38 tends to rotate free of a fixed clutch member 39 on the shaft 44, but by operating a handle 43, a spring cam-piece 42 acts on a cam surface 40 on the clutch 38 and throws it in gear with the member 39. It remains in gear with it until an adjustable cam 13, secured by a bolt 46 to a slotted disk 21, acts on a second cam 41 and throws the clutch out of gear. The clutch thus remains in gear for an adjustable portion of the rotation of its member 38 as long as the member 43 remains in operative position. As shown in Fig. 1, a cam as 13, Fig. 2, is arranged to cause an intermittent action of the raising or lowering gear, which is normally continuous, when the delivered pile 6 descends below a certain level. The cam 13 is normally held out of the path of a cam similar to 41, Fig. 2, by a counterweighted catch 8 which holds a lever 10 on which the disk 21 is mounted. The edges of the delivered sheets are normally straightened and pressed down by pivoted bent fingers 1 on a shaft 2 carried by lever arms 4, which are oscillated by a cam 3, and when released from this fall by gravity so as to press down the sheets. A cam 15 and spring- controlled rod 16 control the pivotal motions of the fingers 1 to and from the pile, and a third cam 11 automatically raises the lever 10 to the position shown once in each revolution of the cam shaft 14. If the pile 6 descends too rapidly the arms 4 descend far enough to release the catch 8 by acting on a projection 19 on a rod 7 connected to the catch. The cam 13 is thus allowed to fall into operative position to check the rate of descent of the table.

Abstract: 8511. Johnson, J. Y., [Badische Anilin & Soda Fabrik]. April 10. [Cognate Application, 21,369/12.] Tanning with special chemicals. - Soluble tanning-compounds are made by condensing under mild conditions a phenolic body with sulphuric acid and formaldehyde in proportions which give substantially (1) two parts of the aromatic body and of sulphur and one of formaldehyde, or (2) two molecular proportions of the aromatic body and one-half to one and a half of formaldehyde with sufficient sulphuric acid to ensure a soluble product. In the latter process, the preferred amount of formaldehyde is between three-fifths and six-fifths of a molecular proportion. The phenol, or homologue such as cresol, may be treated with formaldehyde in the presence of a dilute acid, and the resulting insoluble condensation product may be rendered soluble by treatment with strong sulphuric acid; or the reaction product of a phenol and concentrated sulphuric or a phenol sulpho-acid may be treated with formaldehyde in the presence of acid. Rise of temperature during the action should be avoided to prevent the formation of insoluble compounds, and the sulpho-acids and formaldehyde may be respectively replaced by substituted sulpho-acids and bodies that give rise to formaldehyde. Three examples are given in which (1) phenol or cresol is heated with concentrated sulphuric acid, water is added, and the sulphonated product is treated with formaldehyde, giving an almost colourless viscous product soluble in cold water; (2) phenol, sulphuric acid, water, and formaldehyde are heated together, and after cooling, an oily layer is separated from the mixture and treated with 98 per cent sulphuric acid until it is soluble; (3) crude cresol and sulphuric acid are heated together, and formaldehyde is slowly stirred into the mixture when cooled to 30-35‹ C, Caustic soda is then added, giving a light-grey soluble mass. Specification 4648/11, [Class 2 (iii), Dyes &c.], is referred to.
