Granted: 1913-06-19
Abstract: 20,969. Dorman, J. E., and Dorman & Co., W. H. Sept. 14. Paper bags, making.-Relates to a machine for pressing the ends and side seams of newlymade paper bags during the time that the adhesive is setting or drying. The bag, as it is pushed off the forming-block of the bagmaking machine, is received in a light skeleton box c<10> which turns through a right-angle and brings the bag in line with a reciprocating rod d. The rod pushes the bag on to one of a number of radial arms e having a flat end e<1> against which the bottom of the bag rests and an upper face e<2> upon which the side seam of the bag lies. The arms e radiate from a centrepiece h<3> mounted on a shaft h<1> which is intermittently rotated so as to bring the arms successively in front of the box c<10>. The centrepiece h<3> also carries brackets f<4>, one adjacent to each arm e, which serve as supports for the pressing plates g, f. The plate g for pressing the ends of the bag has a tail-piece g<3> which engages a stationary cam g<1> in the table a<1> of the machine and holds the presser open while the bag is being pushed on to and removed from the arm e. The side seam is pressed by a plate f, which is mounted on a vertical rod sliding in the bracket f<4> and is lifted out of contact with the seam by a stationary cam f' in the table a<1>. Springs press the plates f, g against the bag. The bags are removed from the arms by means of a reciprocating fork j provided with a pair of plates which engage the edge of the open mouth of the bag. Heat may be applied to the arms to assist in drying the adhesive. Specification 29,338/11 is referred to.

Abstract: 24,229. Pennington, W. C., and Lubricators, Ltd. Oct. 23. Stamping. - Hollow-ware articles are caused to assume the shape of a surrounding matrix by being filled with water which is then subjected to pressure by a plunger. The article is placed on a plate 3 resiliently supported by a block 6 in a matrix 1, and is filled with water. An upper die 7 carried by the press ram 15 then descends to enclose the article, a plunger 9 in this die closing the upper end of the article. On further descent of the ram, which is permitted by the resilient supports 13, the plunger causes the article to assume the shape of the recess in the matrix. The die 7 is made in two portions held together by screws a which carry pinions on their heads, these pinions being operated by a pinion b as the head 7 is retracted, springs c causing the two parts to separate to free the work.

Title: Improvements in and relating to Run-ways for Entertainment or Amusement Devices.
Inventor: MILLER JOHN AUGUST
IPC: A63G7/00
Filed: 1913-02-28
Granted: 1913-08-21
Abstract: 5139. Miller, J. A. Feb. 28. . Water shoots.-Relates to a water shoot in which the cars are supported partly by the buoyancy of the water and partly by rails 7. The bottom of the trough or shoot is formed with a number of pockets p and raised platforms r. The ends of the rails 7 overlap and are supported by hinged gratings 10, 17 which are arranged above pockets p. The disposition of the parts is such that the water flowing from left to right tends to lift the grating 10 and to depress the grating 17, thus pressing the rail ends together. As the cars run over the rails, these are depressed somewhat, but this motion is resisted by the gratings 10, 17 which enter the pockets p and act like pistons. The movements of the gratings 10, 17 also agitate the water violently.

Abstract: 12,931. Simonsson, W. June 4. Index-hands.-In a weighing or other measuring instrument wherein the indicating - means includes a pinion 3, Fig. 3, driven from the measuring-mechanism by a toothed member 4, back-lash between the intermeshing teeth is avoided by means of a segmental rack 10 mounted loosely alongside the member 4 and tending under the influence of a weight 12 to rotate the pinion 3 in a reverse direction from that produced by the member 4. The weight 12 may be replaced by a spring connecting the two toothed members 4, 10, or the two toothed members may be adjusted to remove the backlash and afterwards clamped together by a screw 14. In a modification shown in Fig. 5, the two toothed members 22, 23 are arranged at right-angles to one another on opposite sides of the pinion, and the weight of the member 23 takes up the back-lash.
Patent GB-191313756-A (GB)
Title: Automatic Embroidering Mechanism.
IPC: D05C9/06
Filed: 1913-06-13
Abstract: 13,756. Soc. Quillet FrÞres June 13, 1912, [Convention date]. Void [Published under Sect. 91 of the Act]. Embroidery machines.-Motion is imparted to the work frame by a cam 76 acting upon a lever 67. The cam is a long cam of eccentricity increasing progressively along its length and the motion imparted is determined by the lateral position of the cam on its shaft 77. The cam is positioned laterally for each operation by a prior movement of the lever 67 imparted to it by the jacquard-controlled measuring devices. In the measuring devices, a part 34 is carried by a slide 33 mounted on a slide 40 which is mounted on a third slide 41 running upon fixed guidebars. When the selected droppers 109 of the jacquard apparatus are positioned, the slide 33 is freed and is drawn back by a spring-urged steel tape 110 until the part 34 is stopped by the droppers. Pawl-levers carried by the slide 33 are lowered to engage with a rack on the slide 40 and lock the slides 33, 40 together. A pawl-lever 60 pivoted on the slide 41 having locked the slides 40, 41 together movement of a lever 116 carries the three slides forward and brings the part 34 into contact with one of the bars 32 connecting parallel chains 31. The bar 32 first contacts with a lever projecting in front of the part 34 and, turning it, causes a lever 55 to remove the pawl-lever 60. The slides 33, 40 are freed from the slide 41 but are not drawn backwards by the tape 110, for, prior to the removal of the pawl-lever 60, a pin 52 on the slide 40 butts against a part of a hook 71 pivoted to the lever 67 and pushing the hook forward causes it, under the control of the camslot 73 to move downwards to embrace the pin and so couple the slide 40 to the lever 67. The forward movement imparted to the hook 71 and lever 67 before the removal of the pawl 60 is determined by the jacquard-determined position of the part 34 and is used to position the cam 76 laterally upon the shaft 77. It is communicated by means of a toothed rack 74 fixed on the lever, in intermeshing segmental gear secured upon a sleeve 88 and a clutch 85, 86 to a shaft 83 and thereby to the cam-shifting lever. The cam being positioned, a cam-lever 90 disengages the clutch parts 85, 86 and the selected movement imparted to the lever 67 by the cam 76 is communicated only to the slides 33, 40 by the hook connexions 71, 52. Since the part 34 is already in contact with a bar 32, the movement of the lever 67 is transmitted to the chains 31 and thence to the chain-gear by which the motion-compounding device for the pantographpoint is operated. The motion-compounding device comprises a carriage which slides upon both a horizontal rail moving vertically and a vertical rail moving horizontally; the rails being actuated by chains running upon sprocket wheels. Two motion-measuring apparatus, one for each direction of working, are provided for the operation of each rail of the compounding device.

Abstract: 15,310. Pickett, R. July 3. Feeding carding-engines &c.-In apparatus of the type in which the cotton is conveyed upwards on an inclined toothed belt and is acted upon by a second toothed belt, approximately parallel to the first, but moving in the opposite direction, the first belt is of open construction and passes over a grid through which air is drawn by a fan. The belt A, comprising laths M on which are mounted the teeth N, passes upward over the surface of a grid forming one side of a suction box D. The bars L of the grid are arranged to direct the currents of air to the two pipes E, F leading to the tan G, and the apertures are arranged to diminish in size towards the top of the grid. The laths M are provided with flat under surfaces and slide closely over the grid, acting as valves to the openings, which may be covered with perforated material. The teeth on the belt A are inclined with their points in advance of their bases, while the teeth on the second belt H are approximately perpendicular to the belt or inclined with their bases in advance of their points. The belt A is arranged to move faster than the belt H.
