Title: Improvements relating to Printing Presses.
Inventor: GOSS SAMUEL GEORGE
Filed: 1904-10-05
Granted: 1904-11-10
Abstract: 21,376. Goss, S. G. Oct. 5. Associating and collecting apparatus; cutting- apparatus; folding paper.-Webs 6, 7, 8, Fig. 2, of paper, after passing from the printing cylinders are led to associating, folding, and cutting apparatus. The webs, except the lowest, first pass pasting-apparatus, consisting, in the case of the paster for the web 6, of a bar mounted parallel to a shaft 20, on arms 21, receiving paste from a roll 24 and a ductor 25, and supplying a transverse line of paste at intervals to the underside of the web as it passes the roll 12. Other pasting-devices in the machine are similar. When passing over the roller 13, the webs are stuck together, and after passing the roller 14 are slit by a slitting- roll 29, Figs. 2 and 3, and the two parts are folded together by the folder 9. The two portions A, B, Fig. 3, of the webs separate after passing the foldlaying rollers 30, 31 ; the web B, passing an adjusting-roller 39 and a pasting-device, finally joins the web A on the roller 32. The combined sheets are then cut by a knife 35 on a roller 34, and folded between two rollers 37, 38 by one of the blades 36. In some cases, the blades 36 are put out of action every alternate revolution, so that two thicknesses of web are associated together on the cylinder 33 before being folded. A gumming- device 45 is then used to gum the lowest sheet in every alternate batch of sheets, so that it will stick to the batch with which it is to be folded. The various parts are all driven from a main shaft 49, Fig. 2, through suitable spur and bevel gearing.

Abstract: 25,239. Wortley, J. May 14, 1908. Yarns, curling ; twisting-machines with twisting- arrangements at delivery.-A machine for curling yarns intended for the manufacture of pile fabrics is shown in Figs. 1 and 3. A flanged bobbin p is mounted in a rotatable frame i, and is braked by springs such as a spiral spring v or a leaf spring w. A large number of yarns in the form of a bundle A are wound on the bobbin, and the end of the bundle is passed through an eye r and partly over and partly under a concentrating-bar i<1>, and then over one or more deeply grooved pulleys s to a winding-on drum t. The rotatable frame is carried by a vertical shaft h rotated by belt gearing g<1>, and the winding-on drum is rotated by belt gearing d' and worm-wheel gearing B. The arrangement is such that the bundle of yarn is twisted between the concentrating-bar and the grooved roller. The curl is fixed in the fibres by boiling, steaming, and drying the twisted yarn. The bundle of yarn is then passed through the machine again to untwist the bundle while the fibres retain their curl, the driving- gear being suitably altered to effect this operation.
