Title: Improved Machine for Perforating Leather, Cardboard, Linoleum and the like.
Inventor: KLYBERG BERNARD
Filed: 1907-12-13
Granted: 1908-12-14
Abstract: 27,527. Klyberg, B. Dec. 13. Perforating - machines for leather, cardboard, linoleum, &c.-In machines for perforating leather, cardboard, linoleum, &c., for example in ornamenting the tce-caps of boots &c., a machine working on the sewing-machine principle is employed, and the material is intermittently moved beneath the punch. A punch-rod 10 and two presser rods 11, 12, Fig. 11, are reciprocated vertically by three cams 7, 8, 9, Fig. 3, respectively, mounted on a shaft 5 operated by a pulley and fly-wheel 6. The rod 10 engages with the outer surface of the cam 7, and is pressed upwards by a spring 24, Fig. 3 ; the rods 11, 12 engage with the inner surfaces of the cams 8, 9, and are pressed downwards by springs 22, 23, Fig. 11. The punches 16 are detachably connected to the rod 10 by a screw, and presser-feet 20, 21 which embrace the punches are similarly connected to the rods 11, 12. A vertical bar 26, Figs. 3 and 4, reciprocates horizontally between guides 13, 14, and controls the feed of the material. A vertical rack 36, Fig. 11, is connected to a sleeve 25 on the rod 10 by lugs 37‹ ; a fixed collar 38 on the rod 10 moves the rack upwards against the action of a spring 29. The rack 36 is in mesh with a toothed wheel 34, Fig. 3, which through wheels 35, 33 and horizontal raclrs 28 operates the feed-bar 26. Adjustable stops 41 projecting into the slots 30 in which the bar 26 reciprocates, and used in conjunction with scales 49, arrest the feed-bar at any desired point. A foot 32, pivoted to the bar 26 and pressed downwards by a spring 31, serves to feed the material. At the end of the forward stroke of the foot 32, it is raised by a lever 42 and link 60, the lever being depressed by the action of a spring-controlled finger 61 passing under a stop 46 adjustable by means of a screw 62. The material to be perforated is placed on a travelling band 47 of leather &c., Fig. 3, which assists in feeding. The band is fed from a reel 50, around guide-rollers 52, 53, over the punching-bed 3, and over guide-rollers 54, 55 to a reel 51, which is turned by a band 58 passing round the outer periphery of the cam 8 and round a pulley 59 attached to the reel 51 ; the feeding of the band is sufficiently flexible to allow the presser-feet 20, 21 to arrest the band when depressed.

Title: Improvements in and relating to Check-tills.
Inventor: MARTIN WILHELM
Filed: 1908-06-18
Granted: 1908-12-03
Abstract: 13,024. Martin, W. June 18. Tills.-In check tills in which all the movements of the mechanism are caused by rotating the crank - handle, the flap which normally closes the opening through which money subsequently falls is first opened, the money then falls into the drawer, and finally the drawer is opened during one revolution of the handle. A star b revolves on an axle c in the inspection compartment a, in the bottom a<1> of which is a hole corresponding to one division of the star. A flap d mounted on a frame e, which can rotate freely on the axle c, normally covers the hole in the inspection compartment. Two arms f, f<1> are attached to the frame e, and a pawl l on the arm f<1> gears with a ratchet-wheel m fixed on the axle c, the ratchetwheel having as many teeth as there are divisions of the star b. In the operation of the till a handle k<1> is rotated, and actuates the flap d through an eccentric j, a shaft i, a pivoted lever h, and the arms f, f<1> so that the money on the flap falls into the drawer s. The pawl l meanwhile slides over the ratchet-wheel m, which is held by the detent n. As the eccentric continues in its rotation the lever h and the shaft i are reversed in movement, and the flap d again closes the hole in the base of the inspection compartment, and the star is also rotated .through the space of one division by the pawl l driving the ratchet-wheel m. Just before the completion of one rotation of the handle a cam w pushes a rod u against a pivoted bell-crank lever t, o and raises the hook o from engagement with an eye q fixed to the drawer s, so that a spring y opens the drawer. Finally, when the drawer is pushed in, all the parts resume their normal position after a complete rotation of the handle. Two toothed segments may be used instead of the members f, h and the drawer may be moved as soon as the flap has moved to allow the money to fall into the drawer.
