Title: Improvements in and relating to Typewriters and the like.
IPC: B41J35/22

Granted: 1914-06-08
Abstract: 25,671. Higham, H. W., Risley, P., and Remington Typewriter Co. May 8, 1913. Web feeding and cutting arrangements; ink-ribbon mechanism.-Relates to arrangements in which an independent ink-ribbon is provided for duplicating, this ink-ribbon being arranged between the original and the copy and being moved into or out of the printing-line according as to whether a copy is or is not required, and consists in providing means for feeding and severing either the original and the copy together or the original only. In the arrangement shown, which is particularly for use in transcribing telegraphic messages, tLe duplicating inkribbon e, arranged between the web b for the original and the web a for the copy, is carried by spools f journaled in a frame g which is mounted as by slots h to move vertically in the platencarriage c. The ink-ribbon e is fed by a pawl q, Fig. 3, engaging a ratchet r on a sbaft p which is adapted in the known manner to drive the spools through bevel-gearing and to move longitudinally for automatic reversal, The pawl q is operated from the line-spacing lever l, the pawl being carried on an arm o which is loose on the shaft p and engages the link m of the line-spacing mechanism. Sagging of the ink-ribbon e is prevented by brakes such as springs i engaging the spools f. The web b is wider than the web a, and is engaged near the edges by feed-rollers t on spring-pressed arms t<1>. The ordinary feed-rollers are releasable by a lever u, which is connected by a link w to a bell-crank lever v engaging the frame g. Normally, the ink-ribbon e is in the printing-line and the ordinary feed-rollers and the feed-rollers t press the webs against the platen so that an original and a copy are printed and both webs are fed forward. When a copy is not required, the lever u is moved to the rear, thereby raising the ink-ribbon e out of the printing- line and releasing the ordinary feed-rollers, the feed-rollers t remaining in engagement with the web b so that this is fed and the web a remains stationary. The lever u can be locked in the release position by a latch u<1>. To facilitate the initial threading of the web, a plate x, Fig. 3, is provided which is adapted to be pushed down between the ink-ribbon e and the platen d. The plate x is formed with inclined slots engaging pins and is normally held in the raised position by a spring arranged round a handle x<1>. The plate x carries fingers (not shown) for guiding the web b and a pivoted plate y for guiding the web a. A tearing-edge y<2> is provided for severing the webs, the edge being used in conjunction with the upper part z of the plate y, which is caused to grip the webs by pressing the handle z<1>. The plate x serves also to prevent the torn edges of the webs from remaining in engagement. For this purpose, the upper edge of the plate x is arranged normally slightly above the level of the tearing-edge y<2>, so that during the tearing operation the plate is depressed and after the tearing operation the plate rises and separates the webs.

Title: Improvements in or relating to the Regulation of Electric Circuits and to Means therefor.
IPC: G05F1/24
Filed: 1913-05-14
Granted: 1913-12-18
Abstract: 11.267. Siemens Bros. Dynamo Works, [Siemens-Schuckertwerke]. May 14. Regulating transformers. - In regulating electric circuits by means of an auxiliary source the voltage of which can be reduced to zero and reversed, switching arrangements are provided by means of which the auxiliary source is bridged when its voltage is zero or approximately zero. In the arrangement shown in Fig. 1, the auxiliary source z, which comprises an induction regulator and a static transformer, is short-circuited by the switch c when the potential of the set is zero and while the switches a, b are operated to reverse its connexions. The application of the arrangement to the regulation of alternating-current commutator motors is shown in Figs. 2, 3, and 4, in which the motor m is fed from a variable-pressure transformer the secondary winding t<1> of which is provided with tappings a, b, c. The controller C, Fig. 2, is of the barrel type, and is operated from an induction regulator z<2> by gearing. The maximum pressure of the regulator z<2> is equal to the pressure of the static transformer z<1>, while each is equal to one-half the pressure between the tappings of the main transformer. In the first position of the controller, the motor m is connected to the transformer through the contacts a, h, d, the transformer set z<1>, z<2>, and contacts e, f, the pressure applied to the motor being equal to the voltage between the points r, s of the transformer less the maximum voltage of the set z<1>, z<2>. Further rotation of the controller reduces the voltage of the set z<1>, z<2> to zero, and the set is disconnected by the contacts a, h, h<1>, g. A further rotation of the controller inserts the set z<1>, z<2> with reversed connexions and gradually increases its voltage to a maximum, whereupon its circuit is broken, and the section a, b of the transformer is cut in by the engagement of the contacts b, h<2>, h<3>, g. Further rotation of the controller introduces the section b, c and reverses the connexions of the set z<1>, z<2>, this time at full potential, and further regulation is obtained by reducing the opposing potential of the set to zero, reversing it, and increasing it in the opposite direction. In the modification shown in Fig. 3, the induction regulator z<2> is connected to the movable contacts k, k<1> of the controller by means of a notched bar and pin disk d and the bar k<2>. In this arrangement, the connexions of the transformer set z<1>, z<2> are reversed at zero potential in the positions 2, 6 and at maximum potential in the position 4. In the further modification shown in Fig. 4, the connexions of the induction regulator z<2> only are reversed when the combined potential of z<1>, z<2> is zero or approximately zero, the connexions being bridged at these periods in the positions 2, 4, 6 of the controller,
