Title: Improvements in Machines for Making Paper Bags.
Inventor: HUGO THEODOR
IPC: B31B19/26
Filed: 1910-02-07
Granted: 1910-10-13
Abstract: 2971. Hugo, T. March 12, 1909, [Convention date]. Paper bags, making.-In a machine for making flat paper bags, a cut blank, of the shape shown in Fig. 1, is lifted from a pile 9, Fig. 4, by means of a suction device 8, and is seized by grippers 10 and drawn on to the folding-table 11. The blank is folded along the line 3-4, Fig. 1, by a blade 12, Fig. 4, which forces it between rollers 15, 16, from which it is carried by parallel sets of conveyer bands 19, 24 above an L-shaped gum trough 32. The gummer, which consists of a bar shaped like the trough, applies gum to the flaps 5, 6, Fig. 1, and the blank is then carried on to the folding-device shown in Fig. 6. This consists of a number of levers 35, 36 pivoted on a shaft 39, the upper levers 35 being joined by a plate 35<a> and connected to a shaft 40<1>, and the lower levers being joined by a plate 36<a>. A third set of levers alongside the levers 35 are pivoted on the shaft 39 and connected to a shaft 43. The folded blank is delivered on to the plate 36<a> with its folded edge towards the shaft 39, and is pressed between the plates 35<a>, 36<a>. The levers move downwards, and the flap 6, Fig. 1, of the blank is bent up as it passes by the edge of the folder 38. The levers stop with the plate 36<a> opposite the axis 38<a> of the pivot of the folder, the levers 35 move upwards, and the folder 38 rotates and folds the previously-bent flap and presses it. The remaining flap 5, Fig. 1, is folded in the same manner, the bag being gripped between the plate 36<a> and the third set of levers. The levers then descend, and allow the bag to fall on to the receiving- device.

Title: Improvements in Valve Mechanism for Pneumatic Tool Engines.
IPC: B25D9/18
Filed: 1910-05-24
Granted: 1910-07-21
Abstract: 12,589. Belgian Pneumatic Tool Co. (Soc. Anon.). July 5, 1909, [Convention date]. Fluid - actuated gears.-In a percussive tool in which the valve is reversed by fluid compressed by the piston and is subject to constant pressure at o n e end, the valve is made of constant diameter and consists of two heads separated by a throat. The outer edges of the valve control the admission from the passages 5, 12 to the cylinder ends. The edges of the valve bounding the throat control the exhaust from the cylinder ends through the ports 5, 7. In the modification shown in Fig. 3, the admission is cut off by the ends of the valve engaging the plates 11, 12, and the exhaust port 7, Fig. 1, is dispensed with.

Title: Improved Clamp to be used for Glueing Wood.
Inventor: BOLLE FRITZ
IPC: B25B5/08
Filed: 1910-06-22
Granted: 1911-03-30
Abstract: 15,015. Bolle, F. June 22. No Patent granted (Sealing fee not paid). Clamps.-A clamp for use in glueing obliquelycut straight or curved pieces of wood, or for glueing decorations on a number of wooden ledges, comprises pressure plates c, d, provided with braces h having screws i and jaws g for fixing them to the pieces of wood b, a, and forks f pivoted to the lower plate d and associated at their upper ends with means for effecting the clamping of the work. The forks pass through shells n provided with laterally-movable blocks m and wedges l, the lower ends of which are hollowed to form bearings for eccentric projections k of the clamping-lever c. As this latter is swung over to the right, it first operates the wedges l and blocks m so as to grip the legs of the forks f against the walls of the shells n, and then applies the pressure between the plates c, d. The braces h are pivoted to the clamp by bolts o so that they may accommodate themselves to curved wood. The braces h are 'detached when the clamps are used for glueing decorations on a number of ledges, as shown in Fig. 4.
Patent GB-191017190-A (GB)
Title: Apparatus for Taking Off, Counting or Arranging Sheets of Paper, Tickets, Cards and the like.
Inventor: SCHLESINGER GEORG
IPC: G06K13/107
Filed: 1910-07-19
Granted: 1911-02-09
Abstract: 17,190. Schlesinger, G. Aug. 11, 1909, [Convention date]. Feeding sheets etc.; sheet separators. - An apparatus for counting papers, tickets, &c. for statistical or other purposes comprises a rotary or reciprocating member with suction ports which separate a sheet from a pile and carry it past a counting - apparatus, after which the ports are connected to the atmosphere and the sheets delivered by strippers. If two sheets are fed from the pile, one of them is retained by an auxiliary suction device and the next suction port is prevented from taking a sheet from the pile, so that it may take this separated sheet. The machine is stopped automatically when all the sheets have been dealt with. The sheets &c. are fed from a holder 21 with a spring-pressed bottom, and brushes 22 prevent more than one sheet from being fed at a time. The sheets are removed by a drum 8 with suction ports 18 communicating by means of channels 13, 12 with a slot 10 in a valve 9 connected by a pipe 20 with a suction pump 19 driven by the machine motor 1. The sheets are carried past an electric or other counting-apparatus 28, and then are delivered by strippers 23 to a receptacle 26, previous to which the ports 8 have been connected to the atmosphere by means of a channel 14 and a port 16 in the outer casing. If two sheets are fed from the holder 21, the increased thickness causes a lever 33 to depress a slide 34 into the path of a lever 35, which is constantly oscillated by an eccentric 36. The lower end of lever 35 engages a ring 39 fixed to the valve 9, which is normally held stationary against a stop 17 by a spring, but when the upper end of the lever 35 is held by the slide 34, the lower end is moved and rotates the valve 9 to such a position that the next set of ports 18 are not connected to the vacuum-pipe in time to take a sheet from the pile. These ports, however, take the second of the two sheets previously fed, the top one having been retained by suction ports 30 arranged near the lever 33. When the supply of sheets gives out, a spring-controlled piston, which is normally depressed by suction obtained from a pipe 45 connected to the pump 19, is raised by a spring 44 owing to the breaking of the vacuum, and a lever 42 is depressed into the path of a cam-operated lever 41, and this lever then moves the driving-cone 5 out of contact with a pulley 4, thereby stopping the machine. The suction feeders may be arranged on a sliding reciprocating member.
