Patent GB-190614470-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in Printing Machines.
Inventor: LOCK WILLIAM HENRY
Filed: 1906-06-25
Granted: 1907-06-20
Abstract: 14,470. Loch, W. H., and Parker, T. R. G. June 25. Rotary machines; inking-apparatus; damping- apparatus; lithographic and like printing.-In rotary machines with tripping-mechanism more particularly or the type described in Specifications Nos. 11,109 and 25,866, A.D. 1903, the inking- rollers 26 are tripped or not, as desired, when the impression cylinder 2 is tripped, and the damping- mechanism in lithographic machines has tripping- mechanism actuated either from the inking-roller tripping-mechanism, or by hand, or not at all, as desired. When a pedal 72 is depressed, a lever 12 turns a double-ended pawl 5 pivoted to a bellcrank lever fast on the shaft 1, so that the upper end of the pawl engages with a continuously-reciprocated cam piece loose on the shaft 1, which is thus turned when the cylinder is tripped as in the above-mentioned Specifications. To actuate the inking- roller tripping - mechanism, pawls 14, 15, mounted on an arm 13 rigidly secured to the shaft 1, engage with abutments 20, 21 on a loose disk 22 and thus move the rod 23 and the sliding cam bar 25. If it is not desired to trip the inking- rollers, when the cylinder 2 is tripped, a pedal 33 is depressed and held down by a pin 34 and depresses a circular cam 28, pivoted at one side to the fixed supporting-bracket, into engagement with a roller 27 on the pawl 15, which is thus held out of engagement with the abutment 21. The damping ductor roller 38 is caused to reciprocate between the distributing-rollers 40 and the fountain roller 39 by a cam which actuates a lever fixed to the shaft 37. If desired, the roller 38 is kept away from the fountain roller by the higher part of cam 43 engaging with a roller 42 on the end of the lever 41 fixed to the shaft 37. This occurs when the cam bar 25 is shifted to the left in tripping the inking-rollers, and a pin 52 on the bar 25 allows the bell-crank lever 50, 51 and bar 49 to rise and let the cam 43 act as above described under the influence of the spring 45. By pushing a pin 53 on the lever 50 into engagement with a hole in the frame, the parts may be held from moving to stop the reciprocation of the roller 38, and if the pin 48 at the lower end of the bar 49 is then pulled out of engagement with the shoulder 47 formed in a slot 46 in the cam 43, the said cam will rise and keep the roller 38 permanently out of engagement with the fountain roller 39.

Title: Improved Installation for Producing Motive Power by Combustion.
Inventor: GORIAINOFF ALEXIS
Filed: 1907-01-28
Granted: 1907-12-12
Abstract: 2124. Goriainoff, A. Jan. 28. Producers.-Combustible or non-combustible gases for use in internal-combustion or combustionproduct engines, respectively, are produced in the generator shown in Fig. 1 as desired, the former gases being generated by incomplete combustion and the latter by burning hydrocarbons in excess of air. Powdered fuel is fed to the generator 1, which is lined with carborundum bricks, through orifices 38, Fig. 4, in a rotating fan 10 behind which is a rotating screw conveyer 11 for advancing the fuel from the hopper 17. The fuel is dispersed by the aid of compressed air from the channel 37, an additional air supply for combustion being admitted through ports 9, Fig. 1. The cylinders of the reciprocating engine 3 are cooled by glycerine &c., which first passes through the cylinder jackets and then to the jacket 2 of the generator. After being heated in a separate chamber (not shown) by the exhaust gases, it is used to impart heat to the air supplied to the generator. The engine is started by air compressed into reservoirs by engine-operated pumps, the generator having previously been heated by inserting burning wood or by injecting liquid fuel through the port 20. Governing is effected by regulating the speed of rotation of the screw conveyer 11. Before entering the hopper 17, the fuel is crushed by an engine operated ball mill. If preferred, liquid fuel such as naphtha may be used.

Abstract: 17,284. Milne, J. Aug. 17. Fumes, treating. -Fish, fish offal, and other waste animal matters are heated in a steamjacketed drier or digester into which air may be admitted. The vapours are partly condensed, for example by a water spray, and are passed successively through a solution of lime or caustic alkali and layers of lime or metallic oxide and are finally destroyed by passing through incandescent fuel. The Figure shows one form of apparatus in which the material is heated in a cylindrical vessel a provided with stirrers on a rotary shaft b and having a discharging-door. The vapours are drawn by a vacuum pump g through a pipe into a chamber e where they meet water sprayed through a pipe f by means of a centrifugal pump e. The pump g discharges the impure water into a sewer and forces the gases through a pips into a vessel j containing lime water or other alkaline liquid which is renewed through a siphon k, the spent liquor escaping through a pipe l to the sewer. The gases pass to a purifier n in which lime, metallic oxide, or like purifying agent is spread on trays and finally escape through a pipe o to a furnace.

Title: Improvements in Apparatus for Controlling Wagons in Tipping Devices or Tipplers.
Inventor: MCLELLAN NEIL
Filed: 1908-09-10
Granted: 1909-06-17
Abstract: 19,011. McLellan, N. Sept. 10. Tipping-apparatus.-In a through-way rotary tippler, the wagons are automatically retained and delivered by a weighted lever mounted on a longitudinal rock-shaft, the action of the lever depending on the rotation of the tippler. The two-armed lever 4 mounted on the rock-shaft 5 is weighted at its lower end, and its upper end normally lies in the path of the front axle of the incoming wagon. An arm 12 on the shaft 5 is adapted when rotated to force outwards a spring-controlled catch 11 which is subsequently returned into vertical position by its spring thereby locking the arm 12. When the tippler frame is rotated, the lever 4 tends to hang vertically and rotates the shaft.5 in its bearings until the arm 12 is looked by the catch 11. At the completion of the discharge, the wagon 2 is free to pass out, and in doing so knocks over the catch 12 and allows the lever 4 to swing back into normal position. The catch 11 and arm 12 may be placed at the opposite end of the tippler and may be operated by the axle of the incoming wagon. A buffer spring 10 prevents undue shock when the lever 4 is struck by the wagon axle.
