Title: Improvements in Rotary Printing Machines.
Inventor: FURNIVAL RICHARD BETTNEY
Filed: 1902-04-10
Granted: 1903-04-02
Abstract: 8329. Furnival, R. B., Furnival, H., Furnival, S., and Furnival, F. S. April 10. Rotary machines inking-apparatus lithographic and like printing.-Relates to rotary machines printing from aluminium plates or other printing- surfaces, and consists of (1) means for fixing and adjusting the printing - plate, (2) means for checking the impression cylinder, and (3) means for raising and lowering the inking-rollers in relation to the printing-cylinder. The printing-plate E, Fig. 2, is fixed and adjusted on the cylinder A by means of clamps e', gripping the edges of the plate and pivoted on arms e on shafts a. The clamps e<1> are provided with adjusting-screws e<2>, and the arms e with adjusting-screws e<3> bearing against a bar a<1> mounted on an eccentric shaft a<2>, which may be turned to move the arms e and plate E. The shaft a<2> is fixed in the adjusted position by a slotted plate a<3> and screw. In a modification, the bars a<1> are mounted to slide in guides, and moved by screws, eccentrics, or other means. The impression cylinder B, Fig. 1, is in sliding bearings C, by which it is moved to and from the cylinder A. The bearings are each connected by a link b to an eccentric g turned by an arm H and toggle h, h<1>. The rod h of the toggle is adjustable in length. The toggle is operated by a slotted link K pivoted to a lever K', to which are connected spring rods k, k<3>. The spring on the rod k may be pressed back by a lever K<3> operated by a footpiece K<2> or a hand-lever. This permits the spring k<3> to move the lever K<1>, so that a roller on the lever is moved into the path of a cam L on the cylinder, and the cam operates the link K to straighten the toggle. When the foot-piece K<2> is released, the stronger spring k moves the lever K<1> so that the roller engages the other face of the cam L, which moves the toggle in the reverse direction and brings the cylinders into contact again. The movement of the lever K<1> is prevented at certain times by a lever M operated by a cam m<1> to engage the pin m on the lever. The inking-rollers Dare in bearings on radially-movable frames D' connected by links d'to a lever or eccentric D<2> pivoted on the shaft d', forming toggles for lifting the frames and rollers. The lever D' is operated by a cam N rotating on a cam-shaft n. The cam has two or more surfaces or lifts, and may be moved on the shaft by a lever N' to bring any of the surfaces into operation. The rollers may thus be set in position for inking the plate on the cylinder A, or for distributing the ink when the rollers are out of contact with the cylinder A. When a three-lift cam is employed, an intermediate position of the inking-rollers is obtained.

Title: Improvements in Separators for Sifting Cement and other Goods
Inventor: HARDWICK ARTHUR
Filed: 1902-04-18
Granted: 1903-04-16
Abstract: 9035. Hardwick, A. April 18. Sifting and separating cements &c. -The cement or other material to be sifted is fed by a screw conveyer to the hopper A where it passes through the coarse screen A<1>. The cement falls on to an inclined vibrating sieve B, which is supported loosely on rollers L mounted in a frame vibrated by eccentrics. The end play of the sieve in the frame K gives it an intermittent series of jerks in addition to its regular reciprocating movement. An air blast from a fan C forces the fine particles of cement downwards through the sieve, and they are collected and removed by the conveyer J. The large particles are discharged at D to a conveyer D<1>. The air blast, after leaving the fan C, may pass through a coarse vertical sieve, to secure even distribution. Any fine particles of cement blown over the sieve by the air blast are collected by corrugated baffle-plates H, shown in plan in Fig. 4, and are discharged by the conveyer J, which is extended so as to pass beneath the dust collector.
