Abstract: 29,478. Proszynski, C. de. July 19, [Convention date]. Kinematograph apparatus.-Relates to apparatus for taking or projecting pictures arranged in rows transversely of a broad film by means of rotary filmfeeding members given a transverse intermittent movement first in one direction and then in the opposite direction and rotated during the change in direction of the intermittent movement. The film is engaged by two sprocket pinions 1, 1 carried on a rack 11 free to slide in the tubular shaft 9 but compelled to rotate therewith. The film is given a transverse intermittent movement in one direction or the other by engagement of the rack 11 with one of the pawls 41, 43 carried by the reciprocating pawl rod 37 and so arranged thereon that a partial rotation of the rod 37 disengages one pawl from the rack 11 and engages the other therewith. The pawl rod 37 is reciprocated by oscillation of the forked end 63 of the lever 62 between the adjustable collars 64 carried on the rod 37; the amplitude of this oscillation and thereby of the reciprocation of the pawl rod 37 is adjustable in order to ensure that the end picture of any row registers accurately with the first picture in the preceding row. The partial rotation of the sprockets 1, 1 at the end of each row of pictures is obtained by engagement of the spring pawl 59 with the toothed wheel 60 on the tubular shaft 9. For adjustment of the feed-mechanism to allow for shrinkage of the film and to obtain accurate centring of the pictures, the stroke of the pawl rod 37 is increased progressively as the pinions travel to the right and decreased progressively as they travel to the left, the total amount of the increase or decrease being adjustable. Guide rollers are provided in juxtaposition to the sprocket pinions 1, 1 and free to slide axially therewith.

The other rolled margin may be provided with a number of cut-away parts 9, the intact portions 10, Fig. 1, serving to hold a sliding detector-tab 8 with notches for moving by the finger-nail. The tab may bear inscriptions, and may be transparent to enable it to be lighted by a lamp at the back, which is energized when the tab reaches an opening in the run-way. The tabs 4 may form an alphabetical index, while selection of an address &c. to be printed is made by moving the tab 8 to the cut-away part corresponding to the address &c., and passing the plates 1 one after the other along the printing-machine, Fig. 8. An oscillating arm 11 carries an arm 10<1>, which is pivoted to it frictionally or by means of a spring. The arm 10' carries a series of spring-controlled feelers c, d corresponding to the cut-away parts 9; Fig. 1, and those feelers are left up which correspond to the addresses &c. to be printed. If a plate 1 is opposed to the feelers c, d, and its selector-plate 8 covers a slot in it, that corresponds to a raised feeler c, then the forward movement of the arm 11 will bring another feeler c and a selector 8, Fig. 1, into contact with each other, and will stop the lever 10<1> so that the spring 15 makes contact with the spring 14 and energize a clutch magnet, which effects the operation of the impression-head A, or give a signal for the operator to know when the printing is to be done. Where the selector-plate 8 is opposed to a depressed feeler d, no printing occurs.

Abstract: 15,795. Dorman, J. E., and Dorman & Co., W. H. July 9: Folding paper; stopping - arrangements.-A machine for producing stitched books, pamphlets, &c. from signatures or sheets comprises means for separating single sheets or sections from the tops of a number of piles by means of air jets and suckers which lift one signature &c. at a time and carry them to grippers, which convey the sheets to intermittently - moving chains arranged to gather the collected sheets with the aid of joggers and carry them through stitchers to a folder which folds and presses the stitched books and delivers them on to a table. Means for stopping the machine automatically, or by the aid of electric press-buttons, are described. After the product has been gathered on chains it is fed through stitching-devices E, Fig. 1, from which the stitched product m, Fig. 21, passes on to a folding table l<48>, and is registered thereon by jogging devices n<1>, n<3> on shafts n<4>, n<5> oscillated by lever and link mechanism from a cam on a shaft l<3> which is also provided with a cam for oscillating the shaft l<10>, upon which are mounted arms l<13> carrying a folding - blade l<15>. This blade forces the stitched book &c. through spring-pressed rollers driven from the shaft l<3> by spur gearing. The shaft l<3> is driven from the main shaft C<5> by means of bevel and sprocket gearing. The folded product is delivered by an oscillating board o<1> past spring flaps o<2>, o<3>, o<4>. The machine may be stopped automatically if a sheet is not taken by the feed-grippers by arranging the grippers in an electrical circuit which, when completed owing to the failure of the feed. sends a current from a battery t<20>, Fig. 24, to an electro-magnet t<18>, which operates a catch t<15> and releases a weight t<13>. The weight t<13> falls on a catch t<10> and allows a lever t<6> to be moved by a spring t<9> to throw out the main driving-clutch t<5>, which when thrown out is stopped by a brake t<30>. The circuit to the magnet t<18> may be closed by a press-button t<24>, or the catch t'‹ operated by a handle t<29>, when the attendant wishes to stop the machine. In a modification the machine is driven electrically, and an electro-magnet t<18> operates to break the shunt circuit of a no-volt release which sets free the starting-handle of the driving-motor.
