Title: Improvements in Rag Tearing Machines and Cotton and other Fibre Openers and the like.
Inventor: SNOWDEN ARCHIE
IPC: D01G11/04
Filed: 1912-05-18
Granted: 1913-05-15
Abstract: 11,847. Snowden, A. May 18. [Cognate Application, 28,767/12.] Openers; feeding openers &c.-Rag-tearing machines, cottonopeners, &c. are provided with an additional set or sets of feed-rollers arranged around the periphery of the swift 4, and with means for catching the fibre as it is thrown off the swift and for leading it back to the next set of rollers. The fibre thrown off at about the point 6 and the fibre not so thrown off and caught by a deflecting plate 8 is taken by a cage roller 7 rotated by a driven roller 9 under the far end of the plate 8. The fibre passes between the rollers 7, 9 and falls on to a positively driven apron 10, which conveys the fibre to the second or additional set of feedrollers 11, where it is again treated. After this second treatment, the fibre is thrown off on to a second cage roller 7<a> and is caught by a second deflecting-plate or by a short plate 8<a> and a conveyer band 12 to be delivered to a conveyer 10<a> and feed-rollers 11<a>. The fibre after this third treatment may be again treated by the devices 7<b> ... 11<b> and finally delivered to a shoot 14, through which it is blown by a centrifugal fan 15. The conveyer band 12 passes around a driven roller 9<a> and guide-rollers 12a, 12b, and the lower part is so disposed in relation to the apron 10<a> as to compress the fibre on the apron; the rollers 9, 9<b> perform a similar function. Aprons 16, 16<a>, 16<b> arranged above the cage rollers prevent the wind set up by the rotating swift from escaping otherwise than through the cage rollers. A canvas or like screen 17 at the back of the machine allows the passage of air but prevents the escape of dust &c. Each set of feed-rollers may comprise two, three, or four rollers which are arranged to rotate at increasing speeds towards the end of the machine; the fourth or fourth and third rollers may be provided with Garnett wire. The cage rollers are preferably mounted in resilient bearings, and the cage rollers and rollers 9, 9<a>, 9<b> may be provided with stripping-rollers. A roller may be provided to throw the bits not opened by the swift back upon the ordinary usual feed-apron 2.

Title: Improvements in and relating to Apparatus for Issuing Tickets and Registering Receipts.
Inventor: WINTER CHARLES
Filed: 1913-06-23
Granted: 1914-06-23
Abstract: 14,514. Winter, C. June 23. Printing - apparatus for fare - registering apparatus; irtking-apparatus; number-printing apparatus.-A portable apparatus for printing and issuing tram or other tickets comprises a sliding frame carrying (a) permanent type, (b) hand - set type for printing fares, starting stations, and destinations, and (c) changeable type for printing the serial number and date. The frame when reciprocated prints the ticket, feeds the strip, and operates a totalizer to an extent varying with the amount of fare. In the construction shown in Figs. 2 and 3, the vertically sliding frame m is mounted above a fixed platen f, and when lowered prints upon the strip fed from a roll c by a ratchet feed o actuated by a rack l. In the frame m are mounted a pair of chains 4 composed of type blocks denoting stages or sections and passing from spring drums 5 around rotatable square prisms 3 to setting-handles 7. Adjacent to these chains is arranged a wheel r having type on its radiating arms s to print fares. The frame is guided by channels p, and when it is depressed the wheel r is prevented from rotating by a guide u, which is engaged by the uppermost of a number of lateral projections formed on the arms s. On the wheel r is arranged a series of spirally-disposed projections z, Fig. 6, and these cause a differential movement of a slide x connected by a band w with a totalizer v through a ratchet drive. Also connected with the slide x is a marker 11 adapted to produce lines on a record-strip 10 to show by their length the amount of fare and by their number the number of fares accepted. The record-strip is fed by the engagement of a wedge 13 on the frame m with a ratchet mechanism 15. Means may be provided to produce an extra travel of the strip whenever the starting- station type is changed, in order that the fares received during any section of the journey may be distinguished. Further, a writing aperture may be provided to allow autographic marks to be made at the commencement of each stage, and a shutter for the aperture may, when moved, cause the extra feed of the strip. The serial number may be printed by a counter mounted in the frame m and actuated by a stationary one-way pawl. The type is inked by a roller 17 on a spring-controlled arm 18 adapted to sweep across the type-surface when the frame descends and to be renewed with ink by a surface 19, which serves also to hold the roller. In a modification, the names of starting stations only are printed, the type chain in this case being endless and passing around an hexagonal prism. In the arrangement shown in Fig. 14, the projections on the wheel r come in contact with one of three sliders x, each connected with a totalizer; or corresponding with certain type there may be two or three projections to engage and actuate more than one of the sliders.
