Title: Process of Setting Justified Lines of Type and Means for Performing the same.
IPC: B41B27/10
Filed: 1911-06-19
Granted: 1912-04-11
Abstract: 14,533. Drewell, H., and Schnellsetzmaschinen-Ges. June 19. Strip - perforating machines; justifying type. - In machines such as described in Specification 15,626/10, for perforating recordstrips for controlling type-setting, single - type composing and casting, or matrixsetting and linecasting machines in which justification is effected by means of compressible or wedge-shaped spacers, means is provided for automatically enlarging the wordspaces when necessary in order to justify the line, by the addition of an auxiliary and non- variable spacer to each justifying-spacer. The length of the line as composed is shown by a suitable indicator, for example, by the feed of the paper-carriage of the typewriter, which is connected with the perforating-apparatus, as described in Specification 402/07. At each word-space, the paper-carriage is fed through the greatest distance that can be obtained by completely expanding a wedge or other justifying-spacer and adding to it the largest size of auxiliary spacer. The line is thus overfilled to some extent and, if too long to be justified by reduction in thickness of the wedge spacers, smaller auxiliary spacers are substituted, or these are entirely omitted. The insertion of the auxiliary spacers is controlled by a special symbol, which is automatically punched at the end of each line. On the paper-carriage of the typewriter is a rod 212, Fig. 8, carrying an adjustable stop 210 adapted to strike and move with it an arm 195<a> of a slide 195. When the stop 210 meets the arm 195<a>, the line is of the minimum length that can be justified with the aid of the largest auxiliary spacers. On the slide 195 is mounted a lever 191 which can turn about a pivot 192, and can also be moved down in guide-slots 193 against the pressure of a spring. Movable parallel to the slide 195 are two stop-bars 223, 224 corresponding to two sizes of auxiliary spacers. As each word-space is included in the line, each stop-bar is advanced by rack - and - pinion mechanism through a distance proportional to the thickness of the spacer it represents. At the end of the line, the line-separating key is depressed, and the lever 191 is thereby rotated until arrested by one of the stop-bars 223, 224 or, if these are no longer in its path, by a fixed stop 225. The lever 191 is then depressed and actuates one of three justification - bars 226<a>, 226<b>, 226<c>. The bars 226<a>, 226<b> cause a symbol to be punched which inserts one or other of the two sizes of auxiliary spacers. The bar 226<c> causes the perforation of the line-separating symbol only, so that the wedge or compressible spacers alone are inserted in the line. The feed of the paper-carriage may be made proportional to the smallest width of a word space, in which case the stop-bars 223, 224 are moved in the opposite direction to the slide 195. Specifications 12,776/08 and 12,398/10 are also referred to.

Title: Improvements in Variable Gears for Motor Cycles.
Inventor: SAUNDERS MONTAGU
IPC: B62M25/00
Filed: 1911-07-01
Granted: 1912-06-27
Abstract: 15,343. Saunders, M. July 1. Variable - speed epic y c l i c gearing for motor-cycles comprises a driving-sleeve 1, a driven sleeve 5 carrying, or operatively connected with, one part 6 of a friction clutch adapted to coact on all the speeds with a corresponding clutch part 6<a> carried by and within the hub shell, and two gearing-down epicyclic trains interposed between the two sleeves, so combined and operating that the highest speed is transmitted where there is no relative movement between the parts of the trains, and the intermediate and lowest speeds are obtained by bringing the trains into operation by simultaneous axial movement of the sun-wheels in the same direction. The driving - sleeve may carry an annulus gearing with two sets of planet-pinions mounted upon the driven sleeve, the sun-pinion of the first train being adapted to be clutched to this sleeve for the direct drive, and the two sun-pinions being moved together to engage in turn with fixed teeth upon the axle to give the intermediate and lowest speeds. As shown in Fig. 2, the gear is arranged to furnish four speeds, an intermediate piece 14 carrying the second annulus 14<a> and the first set of planet-pinions 3 being interposed between the driving and driven sleeves which carry respectively the first annulus 1<c> and the second set of planet-pinions 4. The sun-pinions 9, 10 slide together along the axle and for the solid drive engage teeth 1<Î>, 14<Î> upon the driving-member and the piece 14. For a lower speed, the sun-pinions are moved to the right for the pinions 10 to clear the teeth 14<Î> and to engage with teeth 11<ÎÎ> upon the axle, the pinion 9 being still locked to the driving-member. Further movement of the sunpinions carries the pinion 9 clear of the teeth 1<Î> and brings its teeth 9<Î> into engagement with teeth 11<Î> upon the axle, and the second train is then locked by the engagement of the pinion 10 with teeth 5<Î> on the driven sleeve. For the fourth and lowest speed, both trains are brought into simultaneous operation by a further movement of the sun-pinions to the right, so that teeth 10<ÎÎ> engage the fixed teeth 11<ÎÎ>, and the teeth 9<Î>, 11<Î> remain in engagement. The clutch member 6, which is controlled by mechanism such as pins 6<b>, 7 and a central rod 8, is pressed into and maintained in operation by springs (not shown) disposed between the part 5<d> and the clutch member, and as the part 5d and the cone of the bearing 5<c> are both upon the driven sleeve, the thrust is self-contained, none being transmitted to the axle bearings. The mechanism may be applied between the engine and the belt pulley instead of at the wheel hub. According to the Provisional Specification, there may be more than one clutch member upon the driven sleeve to coact frictionally with corresponding members upon the hub.

Granted: 1912-10-28
Abstract: 23,639. Wiesengrund, B. Oct. 26. Systems for controlling reciprocating motion of machine tools &c.-A motor, for instance a direct-current machine a with a shunt field n, drives a reciprocating tool shaft, through electro - magnetic clutches cl<1>, cl<2>, the latter reversing the drive by means of an idler pinion g<2>, which, together with a normally loose spur-wheel g<1>, engages pinions on an intermediate shaft b<2>. The clutches are energized by means of a two-arm switch t<1>, t<2> operated by the planer at each extremity of its travel. Each of the arms of the switch cooperates with contacts c<1>, c<2> and c<3>, c<4>, these being connected by leads W<8>, W<9> to the clutches, and by the common lead W<10> to the main m<2>. An arm t<3> connected with the switch arm t<1> opens, on the return stroke, a shunt about a variable resistance r, and thus increases the speed. In a modification, a single switch governing the clutch circuits connects independent banks of resistance in the field circuit at each reversal. In the case of alternating-current motors, the speed is varied by rocking the brushes, clutches being used as before to reverse.

Abstract: 507. Pekarek, A. Jan. 6. Telescopic and e xpanding tables. - An extending table is provided with means for lifting the extra leaves into position after the table has been extended, and with additional legs which are automatically folded and extended with the operation of the table. Fig. 4 shows the table partly extended, with additional leaves 16, 17 in position. The leaves 16, 17 rest upon another extra leaf 10 provided with wedge blocks 9 engaged by wedges 8 formed on a movable frame. To expand the table further to the position shown in Fig. 5, the two end portions 1 are pulled outwards, and the leaves 16, 17 slid to the left and right respectively. The leaf 10 is then raised into the space so formed, by moving the wedges 8 to the left. The means for operating the wedges 8 are shown in Fig. 7, which is a plan of a portion of the table. The wedges 8 are secured to bars 7 connected by a lever 12 having a handle 13, the lever 12 being pivoted at 11 to a frame 6. The wedges 8 are operated by a movement of the handle 13. The table can be further expanded into the position shown in Fig. 6, extra leaves 18, which are normally kept' in guides under the table, being placed between the leaves 16, 1. With the extension of the table, legs 21 are automatically unfolded from the position shown in Fig. 4. Each leg is pivoted at 32 to the table frame, and is connected by a link 22 to a bar 23 provided with a hook 24 at its end, which, when the table is extended, engages with a fixed cross-bar 25 on the table frame and brings the leg 21 into the position shown in Fig. 5. When the table is further extended, Fig. 6, the hook 24 is manually lifted out of engagement with the bar 25. The rod 23 is then supported by a hook 30. When the table is contracted from the position shown in Fig. 5, the engagement of the rod 23 with the bar 25 causes the leg 21 to fold automatically. When the leg has been thus folded, automatic means are provided for disengaging the catch 24 from the bar 25, consisting of a bar 26 pivoted at 32 and having a projecting pin 33 engaging in a slot 38 in the rod 23. Links 34, 35 are pivoted to the pin 33 and rod 23 respectively. The end 27 of the bar 26, Fig. 6, is bevelled and rides over the bar 25, lifting the rod 23 with it and so releasing the catch 24.
