Patent GB-190809966-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in or connected with Vacuum or Air Nozzles used with Paper Feeding Machines and the like.
Inventor: COLLIS ALFRED
Filed: 1908-05-07
Granted: 1909-04-29
Abstract: 9966. Collis, A. May 7. Feeding sheets.- Relates to suction nozzles for separating sheets of paper from a pile, and consists in the provision of means whereby the suction may be adjusted to suit sheets of different thicknesses and to means whereby the nozzle may be readily attached to the suction pipe ; means are also provided whereby the position of the point of attraction is altered by the adjustment of the suction, without moving the sucker as a whole. In the example shown in Fig. 2, the effective area of the circular ports 4 in the curved face of the sucker 1 is varied by means of a sliding perforated plate 2, positioned by means of a screw 3. The suction orifices may be in the form of slots instead of as shown. In a modification, the suction comprises two concentric tubes which may be adjusted relatively and secured by a set-screw. In the example shown in Fig. 7, the face of the sucker is flat and is formed integral with the external tube 5, within which a tube 7 may be turned to vary the effective area of the ports 4 and the distance of the ports from the top sheet. The tube 5 is retained in position by a spring bolt 8. The correct relative position of the two tubes may be retained by a ratchet-and-pawl device, allowing adjustment to be made while the sucker is in operation. In a further modification in which the sucker consists of two concentric tubes, as the suction port is closed, a second port is slightly opened to destroy partly the vacuum for acting on thin sheets. The nozzle tubes 28, Fig. 20, are attached by a bayonet-joint 29, 31 to nipples 26 on the suction tube 27, and secured by a clamp 30.

Title: Improvements in and relating to Facing Point Bars on Railways.
Inventor: WILLIAMS LLEWELLYN WYNN
IPC: B61L11/00
Filed: 1908-09-16
Granted: 1909-06-10
Abstract: 19,424. Williams, L. W., Williams, O. R., and Williams, D. D. Sept. 16. Points and switches.-Safety and locking bars are provided with counterbalance springs to assist in raising them to the highest position. The rod 1 of the operating-connexions is surrounded by two spiral springs 2, Fig. 1 ; between these is mounted a sleeve 3, through which the rod 1 slides, and which has two pins 4 capable of vertical movement only in guides 5 of a bracket 6 fixed to the timbers. The compression of the springs may be adjusted by nuts 7 and jam nuts 8 engaging screw-threads on the rod 1. The lowering of the locking-bar 9 on either side puts one of the springs 2 into compression, thus counterbalancing the bar. Alternatively one spiral spring 14, Fig. 3, may be mounted in a frame 15 on the rod 1, the frame being prevented from moving horizontally by pins 4 working in vertical guides on a fixed bracket as before. When the rod 1 is moved in either direction, arms 16 enter slots 17 in the frame and put the spring in compression.

Granted: 1909-06-03
Abstract: 19,554. Metcalfe, J. Sept. 17. Draught-excluders.-A draught - excluder strip 4 carries pins 9 engaging with slots 6<B> in the arms 6<A> of toothed bellcrank levers, which are mounted on plates 3 attached to a cover-plate 1 secured to the door, and are operated by pins 7 on a sliding bar 8, one end of which engages with the door frame on closing the door. The excluder strip is held out of engagement with the floor, when the door is open, by springs 11, the ends of which are secured to the strip and cover-plate respectively. Fig. 3 shows a modification in which the sliding board 8, operating the bell-cranks to depress the strip 4, is attached by means of a stud 13 to a chain 16 secured to the door frame. To adapt the same excluder to doors opening to the right or to the left, both ends of the sliding bar 8 project beyond the cover-plate, and the end not required to project is cut off.

Title: Improvements in or relating to Automatic Switching or Controlling Apparatus for the Distribution of Electricity.
Inventor: BRYANT EDWIN GEORGE
Filed: 1908-11-23
Granted: 1909-08-12
Abstract: 25,134. Bryant, E. G., and Pearson, R. H. Nov. 23. No Patent granted (Sealing fee not paid). Switches.-For opening and closing supply wires, according to the load on a consumption circuit, especially where transformers are employed, a disk or wheel switch is actuated in turn by two solenoids which are put into action through a two-way switch. The two-way switch is actuated by a solenoid from a battery or auxiliary transformer in a manner depending on the operation of a switch or on the current flowing in the consumption circuit. As shown in Fig. 1, the disk G with conducting faces G<1> completes the supply circuit through contacts H, H<1>, H<2>, H<3> to terminals E<9> E<10>, the connexions being as shown in Fig. 4.. Current flowing through the solenoid L from a battery O<2>, or auxiliary transformer O<3>, keeps the two-way switch arm I up against the carbon contact h connected to the solenoid E. The solenoid L is arranged to become de-energized when there is,no load on the consumer's circuit. The arm I then falls on a contact h<1> connected to the second solenoid E', which attracts its core, and turns the disk G so as to break the supply circuit. The accompanying movement of the coupling lever C thtows a loose contact-lever M<1> away from a contact N' and up to the opposite contact, thus de-energizing the solenoid E<1> when it has completed its stroke, and preparing a circuit for the solenoid E to be subsequentty energized. In a modification, the loose lever M' is replaced by a flexible spring carrying a contact at the end.

Title: Process of and Machinery for Manufacturing Corrugated Paper, Pasteboard and the like.
IPC: B31F1/30
Filed: 1909-01-19
Abstract: 1326. Soc. Francaise de l'Ondulium. Jan. 20, 1908, [Convention date]. Void. [Published under Section 91 of the Act.] Corrugated paper, pasteboard, &c. such as is used for making boxes, cases, boards and sheets used in packing pictures, drawings, &c., or for rolling up with fabrics and the like, is constructed so as to resist bending to an approximately equal extent in all directions, and to offer greater resistance to crushing, by forming the corrugations in the form of triangular parallel undulations. The corrugating is effected by passing the paper &c. between a pair of endless chains b, Fig. 4, mounted on suitably-driven rollers a. The chains b carry corrugated ribs g, Figs. 5 and 7, and each link is fitted with joints s, t, which receive fastening- pins h, i. The ribs are so arranged that the crests l of the undulations fall within the lines joining the troughs j, k, thus rendering it impossible to bend the finished paper in a straight line without encountering an undulation. The machine is adapted to press each corrugation with an even pressure. In a modification, corrugations of the form shown in Fig. 10 are formed by links covered with protuberances suitably alternated, and this form is adapted to give a paper having the greatest possible resistance to crushing. The pasteboard may be covered with plain-paper. The corrugations may take other forms.
