Filed: 1912-04-22
Granted: 1913-03-27
Abstract: 9535. Ohlsson, O. April 24, 1911, [Convention date]. Cylinders receiving liquid fuel.-Ignition at the same point in the cycle is ensured by varying the degree of division of the fuel as it is sprayed into an air charge in the combustion chamber 3. The fuel is supplied by a governorcontrolled pump, and is sprayed, through a spring-pressed valve 2 arranged at an angle to the axis of the cylinder. The loading-spring 7 may be adjusted by hand through the nuts 12 and fork 8, or by a governor acting on the nut 12. To prevent volatilization of the fuel, it flows through the valve in a thin stream, and a water jacket surrounds the valves. The closure of the fuel valve is effected along a line, several modifications of valves being shown. Air may be introduced into the combustion chamber in addition to that entering from the cylinder.

Abstract: 19,078. Walker, A. H., [Wood, H. A. W.]. April 1. Tripping-arrangements.-Relates to means for automatically tripping the bed of a platen press on failure of the feed. The rocker arm 17 and driving-link 16 are connected by a spring-controlled eccentric 18 provided with an arm 19 adapted to be turned to trip the bed by means of a plunger 129 which is projected axially into the path of the arm when no sheet is fed. The plunger-operating means comprises a pair of arms 95 fixed to a shaft 93 which is oscillated between the limits shown in Figs. 3 and 4. Each arm is forked at its lower end and carries an adjustable sheet guide 98 and a pivoted detector 105 having a weighted portion 106 and a hook 108. The rotation of the detector in a direction towards the feed-table 85 is limited by a pin and slot 107 and in the opposite direction by a stop-plate 101 pivoted to the arm 95 and adjustable by a screw 100 against the action of a spring 103. A second pair of arms 110 provided with wedge-shaped points 109 are loosely mounted upon the shaft 93 and carry a shaft 111 provided with yokes 112 freely mounted on the shaft 93. One of the vokes 112 is provided with an arm 116 connected by a rod 117 to a lever 118 pivoted on a stud 119 and provided with a nose 120 adapted, when the arms 110 are operated, to engage a pin 122 on pivoted arms 121 to release a latch 124, thereby allowing a spring 126 to turn a shaft 125 carrying an arm 127 provided with a projection engaging a groove in the plunger 129. When the arm 95 moves towards the feed-table, the sheet moves the detector against the stop 101 so that the hook 108 swings clear of the wedge points 109, but if no sheet is present, the hook engages the wedge and on the backward swing of the arms 95, the arms 110 are also turned and the latch 124 released. The parts are reset during the return of the printing-bed by means of a rod 161 connected to an arm 160 rigidly connected to the rocker arm 17 and provided with a nut or other abutment 162 adapted to turn an arm 163 fixed to the shaft 125. The shaft 93 is oscillated in one direction by means of a cam 142 driven by gearing from the press and actuating a bell-crank 143 attached to a rod 144 connected to an arm 145 loosely mounted upon the shaft 93 and provided with a lug 146 adapted to engage an arm 148 fixed to the shaft 93. The return of the shaft is effected by a spring 149.

Abstract: 15,989. Lanston Monotype Corporation, [Bancroft, J. S., and Indahl, M. C.]. July 11. Strip-perforating machines; justifying type. -Means are provided for enabling the justification fraction to be applied to any one or more of the character-types in a line instead of or in addition to the normal justifying - spaces. For this purpose, there is associated with each character-signal to be so treated, the transfer component of the space-signal which, in the casting-machine, brings into action the justifying-wedges. As described in Specification 17,199/08, the keys act through transmitting- members 3, Fig. 2, on the valve-bars which control the punches. The transmitting-member 3<Î> corresponding to the transfer-punch, that is the punch that produces the transfer component of the space-signal, can be operated at will by any of the members 3 corresponding to the dimensioning series of punches. This is effected by a sliding bar 10, Fig. 6, having a lug 11 which engages the member 3<Î>, and lugs 12 which can engage the members 3. The bar 10 turns about a pivot at one end and is moved into operation by a lever 13 and a compressed-air motor 16 controlled by a valve 30 provided with a hand-lever 37, Fig. 2. As the transfer-punch normally operates a stop-bar of the units-counting mechanism, this must be disconnected when the transfer-signal is associated with a character-signal, in order that the normal dimensions of the character may be registered. For this purpose, the lever 8 which connects the transfer-punch with its stop-bar is provided with a movable pivot which is withdrawn by a motor operated by the hand-lever 37.

Abstract: 18,201. Thompson, W. P., [Bird, C. S.]. Aug. 11. Drawings to Specification. Paper tubes.-To avoid a mottled appearance in tubes made from cheap or uncalendered paper, and waterproofed by a substance such as paraffin solidifying within the pores of the paper, the paper surface is treated with an ' inert filler,' such as glue mixed with chinaclay or finely-powdered asbestos. A blank, wholly or partly coloured, the edges of which are thinned to avoid perceptible edges on the surfaces of the finished tube, is treated with the filler and then brought to tubular form. The filler is usually applied only to the coloured portion. The tube is then burnished, and dipped in paraffin or other waterproofing-substance. Excess of paraffin is removed by allowing it to drain in an oven. Alternatively, the blank may be burnished. The colouring and filling may be performed after the blank has been brought to tubular form. The colouring may be obtained by the use of coloured clays.
