Granted: 1914-07-08
Abstract: 15,747. Barnes, F. W. July 8. Clutches, claw and friction.-A combined friction and positive clutch for motor-cycles, cycle - cars, &c., is mounted on a shaft driving the road wheel preferably through expanding-pulley variable gearing of the kind described in Specifications 12,131/07 and 26,163/08, [Class 136, Velocipedes]. The shaft 11 is carried by a fixed casing 21 and has dog and friction clutch members 34, 37 respectively, slidably keyed thereon. These members are adapted to engage with corresponding clutch-members 35, 38 secured to a sleeve 18 carrying a chain-wheel 27, through which it is driven from the engine. The shaft carries an expanding pulley 17, by which the rear road wheel is driven. The clutch members are independently pressed into operation by springs 36, 39, the spring 39 being stiffer than the spring 36. Thus, when the dog-clutch member 34 is moved to the right by means of a screw 31, the spring 36 yields before the spring 39, and the dog clutch is disengaged first, while, when the screw 31 is retracted, the friction clutch engages before the dog clutch.

Granted: 1914-11-05
Abstract: 10,271. Marks, E. C. R., [Cleveland Folding Machine Co.]. April 25. Pile tables for sheet feeds; separators sheet guides. - In apparatus for feeding sheets to folding, printing, and like machines, the pile of paper is supported on edge between adjustable gauges 5, 6 on a vertical table 2, which may be tilted on a pivot 3 for the purpose of replenishing the pile. The pile is held against a friction separating-roll 8 by the weight of the loaded table acting against the resistance of a spring 20 on an adjustable pivot 22, which bears against some fixed part of the apparatus. The separating-roller, which may have a plain, ribbed, or grooved periphery, is loosely mounted on a shaft 7 and connected thereto by ratchet gear 9, 10. If a continuous feed is required, the shaft 7 is rotated by a belt 12 from a pulley on a shaft 13 driven by a chain 15. When the sheets are required to be fed intermittently, the belt 12 is disengaged, and the shaft 7 given an oscillating motion by means of a rack 17 in gear with a pinion 16 on the shaft 7 and adjustably connected to a slotted crank 19. The pulley 11 and the pinion 16 are secured to a sleeve coupled to the shaft 7 by a clutch 35, which can be moved axially by a pivoted lever 31. The lever 31 is formed with a depending end 30 which rests against a face-cam 29 on a shaft 27. The shaft 27 carries a roller 28 which, when the pile is exhausted, comes in contact with the feed-wheel 8 and is thereby rotated, whereby the clutch 35 is disengaged and the machine stopped. The separated sheet is fed upward and between guides 23, 24, pivoted at 25, to feed-rollers which convey the sheet to the printing or other machine.

Title: Bye-pass Obturators for Hydraulic Transmission Gears.
Inventor: BELLENS CHARLES
IPC: F16H61/40
Filed: 1915-01-15
Abstract: 684. Bellens, C. Jan. 15. Rotary cylindrical valves.-The valve which controls the by-pass passage in an hydraulic transmission gear is constructed so as to avoid leakage and also to prevent binding when under pressure. The bearing-surface is formed by rings d, Fig. 1, in recesses c, which rings are prevented from rotation with the valve by a fixed pin e. The valve body s is turned down to a radius smaller than that of the casing x, Fig. 2, except around the edges t, u, of the inner chamber k of the valve. Leakage is prevented by the ring d, to the back of which the liquid has access, and the clearance i allows for deformation under pressure.

Title: Improvements in or connected with Apparatus for Forming Cigars.
Inventor: HEYMAN ALBERT ABRAHAM
IPC: A24C1/02
Filed: 1915-08-03
Abstract: 11,194. Heyman, A. A. Aug. 3. Cigar-making appliances.-Sets of cigars are made uniform in composition, density, &c. by superposing equal unbroken single layers of leaves and dividing the stack, if necessary, into bunch sections and conveying them between parallel endless belts to rolling-devices. In the preferred apparatus, the leaves are spread on identical rectangular trays placed side by side, the layer is cut along the edges of the trays by a set of overhead knives, the sections are transferred one at a time by a suction carrier 15 to a holder 8 until a stack of the desired thickness and composition is obtained, and the stack is cut by knives 26 into bunch-wide sections, which are pushed into channels 11 by blocks 25 on the knife block 24 and carried to the rolling-devices 27 by endless belts 13 passing round rollers 14 at the ends of each pair 9 of knife guides. As the bunches protrude from the ends of the channels 11, cigar lengths are cut off by knives 30 and pressed by blocks 29 between sets 27 of eccentric rollers 31, 32, 37, 38, the rollers 37, 38 being moved to one side to admit the bunches and to discharge the rolled bunches into shoots 39. Binders B, placed on perforated belts 33 passing over suction boxes 34, are carried forward and wound about the bunches when suction is set up, as by opening the valve 36. The trays may be carried by a conveyer to near the holder 8; they may be placed one at a time in a frame which is hinged to the holder 8 and is provided or not with a suction device, so that on turning the frame rapidly, the layer of leaves is transferred to the holder. The layer of leaves may be made and cut on the conveyer and the sections transferred by the suction carrier; or, as shown in Fig. 20, a divided or continuous layer on the carrier may be cut directly into sections of the width of a bunch by a knife 44, and pressed by a block 44<b> into a correspondingly narrow holder 41, the stack formed being transferred to lengthcutting and rolling devices as before. The leaves on the different trays, or those forming the different sections on the conveyers, may be of the same or different brands, so that plain or blended cigars may be obtained. Cigars with tapered ends are obtained by using V-shaped knives for cutting the bunch lengths and for cutting and trimming the layers on the trays or conveyers.
