Title: An Improvement in Apparatus for Ensuring Safety of Traffic on Single Lines of Railways.
Inventor: TYER EDWARD
Filed: 1898-02-19
Granted: 1898-03-19
Abstract: 4210. Tyer, E. Feb. 19. Controlling traffic on railways, staff and ticket systems for; controlling and locking signals.-In order to prevent, on single lines, a starting-signal being lowered to admit a train into a section which is already occupied by a train under sanction of a staff or tablet, the tablet &c., after being released in the ordinary way from the tablet instrument, is employed to unlock the starting- signal lever. Within the casing A is mounted a toothed wheel D and a ratchet-wheel C, and a similar wheel D is mounted on the same spindle c outside the casing, to engage the tooth b on the catch rod of the starting-signal lever B. The proper movement of the wheel D is ensured by the roller e mounted on the spring-controlled lever E. The ratchet C is normally engaged by the pawl f on the lever F, so that the lever B is locked in position. The lever F is adapted to be released by the projection g on the three-armed lever G, g<1>, K, which is, however, normally locked by the armature lever l of the electromagnet M. The tablet, when obtained, is introduced through a slot in the casing into the capped arm G of the releasing-lever, and the lid H closed. The signalman then closes a circuit through the electromagnet M, which releases the lever G, and permits it to be depressed by the tablet to release the pawl f. The lever B is then free to be operated to lower the signal, but the lid H is held closed by the arm g<1> engaging the tail h of the lid. The releasing- lever is reset by depressing the plunger N, this movement releasing the lid H to permit the withdrawal of the tablet. The lowering of the signal is made to open the signalling-circuit of the section, so that the signalman cannot communicate with the distant station until he has returned the signal to danger.'

Title: Improvements relating to Folding and Delivery Mechanism for Printing Machines.
Inventor: NEWTON HENRY EDWARD
Filed: 1899-08-15
Granted: 1899-11-11
Abstract: 16,571. Newton, H. E., [Hoe, R.]. Aug. 15. Folding paper; delivery apparatus.-Fig. 6 shows a transverse folding and delivery apparatus of a printing-machine, in which the web is perfected and cut longitudinally by a slitting-disc, the two webs passing over two longitudinal folders W placed side by side. The folders W are of the form shown in Fig. 15, and fold each of the webs into a three-ply form. The web passing over the horizontal plate or internal guide 35, 36, 37 has its side portions which pass over the diagonal guide-edges 36, 37 lapped on to the central part which passes over the guide-edge 35, by the external guides 27, 28, preferably formed by the edges of plates, as shown. The longitudinally-folded webs pass between fold-laying rollers 80, 90 to the transverse folding and cutting cylinders D, E, F. The circumference of the cylinder D is, as shown, twice the length of the sheet, and this cylinder has two cutting-blades 10, 11 co-operating with the cutting-slit 6 on the cylinder E, and two folding-blades 4, 5. The blades 4, 5 are so m o u n t e d that they may yield laterally against springs at one side, and they fold the sheets, preferably along a line at about one third their length from their rear edges, into folding-grippers 7, 8 on the cylinder E. The sheet is again folded, preferably at the middle of its longer portion, by a blade 12 sliding radially in the cutting slit or block 6. This blade folds the sheet to grippers 17, 18 of the cylinder F. The sheet is thus folded transversely into three plies. A pasting-arm 15 is provided for placing a spot of paste on the sheet near the first fold, so that the end of the ply last folded is secured to the other part when the folded sheet passes between the cylinder F and spring-seated pressure roller 29. The arm 15 is operated so as to protrude and paste the sheet at the required times, and is also protruded from the cylinder to receive paste from a paster P which receives its paste from a disc 62 in the paste fountain 100. The folded sheets pass between delivery rollers 33, 34, and are guided by the guides 94 into recesses a, b of the rotary fly X and into slots e of the guide 49. The sheets are thrust forward from out of the slots e into the chute 92 by the curved arms of the fly X. Fig. 22 shows the folded product. The various folding, pasting, and delivery &c. cylinders are driven by suitable gearing from the printing-machine, and the grippers &c. are operated by cams &c. The end of the web, when the sheet is cut off, is engaged and carried on by sets of pins 2, 3 projected from the cylinder D at the required times. The recesses in the cylinder D through which the pins 3 pass are enlarged so that the pins may have a certain amount of play in the direction of movement of the cylinder and pins. The pins are held by springs in their forward position, and these pins yield to rearward pull of the paper so that the pins move with the paper and do not tear it.
