Abstract: 18,917. Fairweather, J., [Underwood Typewriter Co.]. Feb. 11, Feeding webs.-Relates to strip-feeding apparatus for use in keyboard perforating machines for making typewriter-controlling strips. The strip 18 is fed up past punches 14 by means of feed-rollers 26, 27, which are geared to a spring axle 32, and are controlled for step-feed by an escapement 45. The strip passes from a spool 23 over a table 24, and is guided vertically by a roller 25. The table 24 serves as a brake to hold the strip taut. The rollers 26, 27 are connected by pinions, and the roller 27 is mounted on spring-pressed arms 28, which may be raised to facilitate manipulation of the strip. The punches are actuated from the keys 2 by means of trips 9, as described in Specification 3406/10. The keys actuate, by means of elbows 4, a universal bar 39, which is carried by sway-bars 40 and is connected by a link 42 and a crank 43 to a rock shaft 44. The escapement consists of a fast-dog 49, Fig. 7, and a loose-dog 45, which are carried by a block on the shaft 44 and are in alternate engagement with an escapement wheel 46 on the roller 26. The swing of the universal bar is limited by adjustable screw stops 52, 53, which engage the crank 43. The roller 26 is connected by gears 34, 33 to the axle 32, round which is coiled a spring 31, one end being secured to the axle, and the other to an arm 37 on the framework. The spring is wound by means of a handle 57, which is pivoted to the framework at 58 and has a pin-and-slot connexion 64 with a rack 59, which is supported by a roller 61 and engages a pinion 60 on the axle 32. To prevent backward rotation of the roller 26 during the winding of the spring, the pinion 34 is connected to the roller by a free - wheel clutch consisting of pawls 55, Fig. 7, which are mounted on a disk on the pinion 34, and engage a ratchet-wheel on the roller. The wheel 47 is provided with a detent 82. The pin-and-slot connexion 64 permits the handle 57 to be returned by a spring 62 independently of the rack. The handle 57 is operated at the end of each line and corresponds to the line-space lever of a typewriter. The handle is formed with a lug 69 adapted to engage an arm 68 and thereby operate the carriage - return punch. The arm 68 is mounted on a key-lever, which may operate the carriage-return punch independently of the handle. For feeding the strip without making a perforation, there is provided a key which engages the universal bar but is not connected to a punch. The axle 32 carries a scale-disk 65, Fig. 2, having graduations which are read by a fixed shield 66, the graduations corresponding to the letter spacing movements of the typewriter which is to be operated. The strip is provided with the scales described in the before-mentioned Specification.

Title: Improvements in Steam-hammers, Air-hammers and other Apparatus having Pistons or the like Actuated by the Pressure of Elastic Fluids.
Inventor: MASSEY LEONARD FLETCHER
IPC: B21J7/24
Filed: 1910-12-10
Granted: 1911-12-07
Abstract: 28,726. Massey, L. F., and Snow, W. H. Dec. 10. Slide valves; expansion valves; fluid-actuated gears. -Distributing - valves, suitable for fluid - pressure engines and hammers, pumps, pneumatic hand - tools, and pile-drivers, and operated by the compression or the fall of pressure due to expansion in the cylinder, are provided to control the admission to or the admission to and exhaust from the cylinder. In the hammer shown in Fig. 1, fluid - pressure is supplied to the centre d of the valvechest, and exhausts through ports o, p at the ends. The valve g, which in this case controls the cut - off and exhaust, is provided with passages i, j, k which connect the cylinder passages e, f with the fluid supply, and with spring-controlled lift valves l arranged as shown. When the valve g is lowered, the supply to the top end and exhaust from the lower end of the cylinder are cut-off, and the ports k are then brought into register with the ports f. The difference in pressure in the lower end of the cylinder and the valve-chest closes the valve l, which remains closed until the cylinder compression and spring m raises it from its seat. The lower end of the cylinder is then in communication with the supply. In the single-acting hammer shown in Fig. 4, fluidpressure is supplied constantly to the annular chamber a around the trunk piston. The piston is guided by a trunk u provided with ports w and a spring-controlled disk valve 6. Fluid from the annular chamber a passes through passages 1, 2 to the top end of the cylinder and forces the piston down until cut off by the piston b passing the port 1.. The fluid in the top end of the cylinder then expands until the fall of pressure enables the spring 10 to open the exhaust valve 6. The motion of the piston is then reversed. The supply to the top end of the cylinder is cut off by the valve l until the compression in the cylinder and the spring m open the valve against the pressure of the fluid in the chamber a. If the compression in the cylinder is insufficient to move the valve l, the valves g, z, Figs. 1 and 4, are moved by hand to supply fluid to the cylinder through auxiliary ports provided for the purpose. In a modification of the arrangement shown in Fig. 4, a fluid-actuated double-headed piston valve is used which is pressed down by a spring, and the ends of which communicate with passages 1, 2 by auxiliary passages.
