Feeding sheets; stopping-apparatus.-Relates to apparatus for separating and feeding sheets of paper, card, &c. to printing and ruling machines, and bag, envelope, and box making and like machines. The table supporting the pile of sheets is hung by cords or chains from a shaft b<3> operated by a ratchet and pawl b<5>, b<6> to wind the cords and raise the table. The pawl b<5> is pivoted on an arm b<8> having a roller b<7> engaging the top of the pile, and, when the height of the pile falls sufficiently, the arm falls far enough for the pawl to engage a fresh tooth of the ratchet-wheel b<5>. The arm b<8> has an extension c<6> engaged by a screw c<5> on a rocking frame c<1>. The arm b<8> carries a second pawl d, and, when the last sheet is removed from the table, the roller b<7> passes through a hole in the table, and the pawl d engages a notch in a sleeve on the shaft b<3>. This sleeve has an arm connected with the stopping- gear of the machine, and on the next upward movement of the arm b<8> the machine is stopped. The top sheet is fed from the pile by rubber bands e<1> on rollers e, f. The shaft c<4> of the rollers e is adjustably mounted in arms c<1>, pivoted on the shaft c<3> of the rollers f. The arms c' are raised by springs c<2>, and are rocked down to press the bands c<1> on the pile by cams c. The shaft a<1> is driven from the printing &c. machine, and the shaft c<3> is geared to the shaft a'. The sheets pass over a table e' and over a rubber separating band or bands e<4> on pulleys on shafts h<1>, i<1>. The upper runs of the band e<4> run in the opposite direction to that of the lower runs of the bands e<1>, and carry back any sheets fed except the top one engaged by the bands e'. One band e<4> is provided to every two bands e', and between them, so that the bands e<1> have a greater frictional grip on the top sheet. Tapes e<5> on rollers f, g run between each pair of bands e<1> and over each band e<4>. The rollers g are on an adjustable shaft g'. Rollers l support the bands e<4>. The sheets are carried on to the printing &c. mechanism by tapes e<3>, and the tape rollers k<1> are held by brake shoes k on the arms c' before the grippers take the sheet. During this period of rest the shaft k<2> is freed from its driving-wheel by a clutch, disengaged by a striker on a gear-wheel on the shaft a<1>. The Provisional Specitication describes also means for registering the sheets laterally, by a laterally-moving board near the grippers which carries the sheets into position. The board is operated from a pin on one of the arms c'.
