Title: Improvements in Printing Presses.
Inventor: GOLDING WILLIAM HUGHSON
Filed: 1905-04-11
Granted: 1905-11-02
Abstract: 7672. Golding, W. H. April 11. Platen presses; delivery apparatus; feeding sheets. - In platen presses, grippers carried at the end of swing- ing arms, and automatically opened and closed, carry the sheets from the platen to a delivery table having a step-by-step reciprocating movement caused by ratchet gear. The fingers for holding the sheets or the platen have serrated outer edges to hold in position cross-strings for holding the sheets, and may also have adjustable auxiliary arms. A side-gauge for pushing the sheets into registering position is incorporated with one of the fingers, and is moved against the edge of the sheet, as the fingers come down on to it, by cam-like projections on the gripper or finger-actuating bar- The sheet is laid on the platen P, Fig. 2, and clamped by fingers R<1>, R<2>, both mounted on a shaft R, the outer one R<1> being adjustable and carrying a gauge G. This gauge is attached to a sleeve G<3>, having cam projections engaging with similar projections as the fingers are being brought on to the platen, and so moving the gauge G against the sice of the sheet, which is thereby registered and put in position to be taken by the delivery grippers F<1>. These grippers are carried at the outer end of a horizontal swinging bar D, fixed to a vertical shaft C<13>, reciprocated by a crank C<10>, and connecting- link C<6>, C<7>, adjustable in length to regulate the position of the grippers F<1>, and actuated from a cam C, driven by gearing from the main shaft. The link D<2>, carrying the grippers F<1>, is pivoted at D' to the rod D, and is always kept in a position parallel to itself by the rod D<3> pivoted to the fixed extension A<4> of the frame. The grippers F' consist of a fixed jaw F<6>, Fig. 6, and a pivoted jaw F<7>, held open or closed by a spring-pressed plunger F<3>, the whole being rotatably mounted in the part D<5> of the link D', so that as the grippers move back they are rotated from the plane of the platen to the plane of the-delivery table, by a coiled spring F', acting against a cord wound pirtly round a pulley on the grippers F<1> and a pulley D<1> fixed to the bar D. The grippers are closed to grip the sheet by a bar F<14> projecting from the tripping-shaft P<1>, engaging a rod F<12> projecting perpendicularly from the pivot F<8> fixed to the jaw F<7>. Near their extreme outward position, the grippers are opened by an adjustably-. held bar F<13> on the end of a bracket A<8>, which also carries a leather or other buffer A<9>. The delivery table is carried in an inclined position by brackets H<4>, pivoted to the slide H<3>, and held in the normal position by a spring H<10>. A slide K<3>, reciprocated by an eccentric on the shaft C<13> carries a spring-controlled double pawl K<5> which gears with a rack on the slide H<3> and moves it along the bar H<1> with a step movement which is reversed when either of the stops K<8>, K<9> engages with a projection on the double pawl K<5> and shifts it over.

Title: Improvements relating to the Manufacture of Filaments for Electric Incandescent Lamps.
Inventor: ZERNING HERMANN
Filed: 1906-02-01
Granted: 1906-08-30
Abstract: 2554. Zerning, H. Feb. 1. Incandescent lamps.-Filaments for incandescent lamps are made from one or more of the hydrides and nitrides of chromium, molybdenum, or tungsten, with the addition, in some cases, of silicon, zirconium, boron, carbides, &c. The hydrides and nitrides are prepared, as described in Specification No. 9384, A.D. 1904, by reducing oxides of the metals in a current of hydrogen or nitrogen, but in order to avoid explosions the reduction is effected either by means of a large excess of aluminium, magnesium, sodium, or potassium, or by means of a metal, for instance zinc, having a smaller affinity for oxygen than these. In the latter case, the reaction may be completed by the addition of magnesium &c. The product is treated with acid, washed, dried, and made into filaments with the help of a binding-material such as tar or indiarubber. The filaments are gradually heated in a vacuum or in an inert gas to 1000-1500‹ C. and gradually cooled again, after which they are ready for use ; or they may be heated by passing through them double their normal current in nitrogen at a pressure of 160 mm. of mercury, whereby carbides or, after longer heating, nitrides, are formed.

Title: Improved Photographic Roller Blind Shutter.
Inventor: BORSUM LOUIS
Filed: 1906-06-06
Granted: 1906-12-20
Abstract: 13,107. Borsum, L. June 6. Shutters. - In a roller-blind shutter, the blind wound upon the spring roller has tapes attached to it which pass along through the other blind. Tapes g attached to 'the blind a pass through hems in the blind c and thence through slots h in the roller d to winding-rolls i on the shaft j, which is movable endways. The roller d comprises a sleeve normally locked to the shaft j by a clutch k, the members of which are held interlocked by a coiled spring m. The roller d is closed by bushings n, o, which form bearings for the shaft j, and a ratchet e is formed integral with the bushing n. Tape winding-rolls i are splined to the shaft, and within the bushing o is a sleeve p rotatable with the sleeve d, having a tooth q cooperating with a spur-wheel r on a shaft s. A spring tends to force a locking-plate u, Fig. 4, into an annular groove t of the shaft j, and, when the blind c is wound up, a pin v on the wheel r passes out of engagement with the plate u, which enters the groove t, thereby preventing end movement of the shaft. The blind c is cut away at its upper corners so that the tapes may run into slots h, and it is constructed in the following manner :-To a fabric x are cemented thin steel slats wand a layer of fabric y of less width. Cemented to the fabric y is a layer of fine, opaque rubber faced with cloth z of the same width as the fabric x, and the tapes g run between the layers x, z. Flexible strips 1 are cemented to the ends of the slats, and finally a sheet 2 of fabric is cemented to the slats and to the strips 1, its sides being folded over and cemented to the fabric z. The fabrics are preferably cut on the bias as shown in dotted lines. To adjust the slit, the shaft j is pulled to disengage the clutch k and rotated in order to wind up the blind a, the width of slit being indicated by wheels 9, 10. On release of the shaft, thus permitting the clutch members to re-engage, the plate u retains it in position, and, when the shaft is still further rotated, the shutter is set ready to make an exposure. A vane 4, formed with an internally-threaded hub 5, screws upon the head 6 of the shaft and serves to control the time of exposure. The effective area of the vane may be adjusted by the pivoted end pieces 7.
