Filed: 1912-04-24
Granted: 1912-09-26
Abstract: 9750. Boult, A. J., [Automatic Press Feeder Co.]. April 24. ' Stopping-arrangements.-Relates to stopping- arrangements for the sheet-feeding means of printing-presses of the kind described in Specification 11,181/10, and consists in the provision of callipering means whereby the machine may be stopped by the passage of two sheets as well as on the failure of the feed. A transverse rock-shaft 65 carries a segmental gear 64 in gearwith a segment 66 on a shaft 67 to which an arm 72 is rigidly attached. Loose on this shaft is a bell-crank 70 connected by a spring 71 to the arm 72. The forward end of the bell-crank is in the form of two parallel arms, between which are pivoted on a pin 75 two pawls 74, 74<a>, the motion of which is limited by slots 74<b>, 74<c> moving over a pin 74<d>. The pawl 74 has a hooked portion 76. which when no sheet is present engages with a projection 80 on a disk 79, flexibly held in position on the shaft 65 by a spring 83. When thus engaged, the disk 79 is turned on the shaft sufficiently to clear a pawl 88 carried by an arm 89 on the shaft 65 and allow it to engage a notch 90 in a disk 87 connected to the stopping-mechanism. In order to provide for the stopping of the press if more than one sheet passes, a micrometer adjusting-screw B is mounted on one of the arms 70<a> to limit the movement of the pawl 74. This screw is set so that should one sheet only be present the hook 76 of the pawl 74 will be able to swing upwards past the sheet and projection 80. On the return movement of the bell-crank 70, the hook 76 engages the upper surface 81 of the projection 80 and turns the disk 79 to hold the pawl 88 clear of the notch 90. Should two sheets be present, the upward motion of the arms 70<a> is arrested, the spring 71 distending to permit of this, leaving the pawl 88 free to actuate the disk 87 . The pawl 74<a> is formed with a hook 74<e> adapted to engage a projection on the side of a slot in the feed plate C to arrest the upward movement of the arms 70<a>.
