Title: Improvements in Lifting or Pulling Mechanism for use in or in connection with Drop-stamps or Hammers or other Machines, or Devices.
Inventor: MASSEY HAROLD FLETCHER
Filed: 1902-07-11
Granted: 1903-07-11
Abstract: 15,472. Massey, H. F. July 11. Hammers, power; stamping.-Relates to means for controlling the operation of drop-stamps, hammers, and other lifting and pulling machinery in which a continuously-rotating pulley can be engaged with. or disengaged from, the lifting- pulley, or wheel. This lifting-pulley or wheel may have lifting-ropes attached to it, or may be a toothed wheel gearing with a rack, attached to the stamp, hammer-head, or other part. Figs. 2 and 4 show one arrangement, in which the pulley a is driven through gearing from a shaft carrying the fast and loose pulleys n, o. It rotates within a pulley c, of which one side plate d is shown separately in Fig. 4. To this outer pulley are secured the lifting-ropes 12, and a brake strap w, Fig. 6. One end of the brake strap is attached to a plate v, which can be actuated by a lever 4 to tighten the strap. By pulling a chain 5, wound round the sleeve 6, the lever 4 is rocked against the pull of a spring 10, and the strap is tightened and the outer pulley rotated to lift the stamp or hammer-head. The distance through which the pulley is rotated depends on the distance through which the chain is pulled. Buffers prevent the pulley from making a complete revolution. Fig. 9 shows a modified arrangement, in which the stamp or hammer-head may rise and fall automatically. The outer pulley has a boss g, on which is mounted a sleeve 27, capable of a limited amount of endwise and rotary movement on the boss. On one end of the sleeve is a half clutch 28, which can engage with the other half on the shaft carrying the inner pulley. The clutch is pushed into gear by a spring 33, and is disengaged by an inclined strut 36. A chain 5<a> is wound round the sleeve, so that the apparatus can be controlled by hand, and it has also wound on it two chains 40, 41, which are also wound on pulleys 42, 43 respectively. These chains are wound in opposite directions, and cause rotary movements of the sleeve, so that it is put in and out of gear by the strut and spring. The positions of the pulleys can be adjusted by rack and pinion gear, operated by hand. The stamp or head can be held in its raised position by dogs 69, 70, which engage the rim of the outer pulley, until disengaged by a treadle or hand-lever.

Granted: 1903-05-21
Abstract: 20,936. Soc. QuÚnard frÞres et fils. March 11, [date applied for under Patents Act. A.D. 1901]. Paper bags, machines for making. A sheet of paper is lifted by pneumatic means from a pile on a table, which is pressed upwards by a spring and released, by the withdrawal from a vertical rack on it of a toothed stop, every time the pneumatic apparatus descends on to the pile. The sheet is placed on a reciprocating carrier, which carries it over a paste roller and deposits it beneath a plate 31, Fig. 6, which is a transverse view of the machine. The sheet is folded round the plate 31 by arms 32, carried on levers as shown ; the sheet overlaps the arms, which are lifted above the surface of the plate 31 by rollers 33 ; after folding, the joint is pressed by a presser 48. The tube so formed is drawn off the plate 31 by a pair of rotating rollers on a reciprocating carriage, and is conveyed to and fed on to one of the blades 72 radiating in shaft, Fig. 12. The tube is secured on the blade by arms 74, 76, operated by cams 79 on the faces of the wheel carrying the blades. The end of the blade is mitered ; the bag blank is carned first past a cutter which notches the end, as shown in Fig. 28, then two streaks of paste are applied to each side, as shown, by a device 106, Fig. 16, which is made to embrace a paste-pad 98 at one end of its stroke and the end of the bag blank at the other. In moving to the next position, the vertical one, the blade passes V-blocks which fit its mitered end and tend to fold the bag bottom, as shown in Fig. 29, and then a V-shaped oscillating plate is moved across the mitre, and sliding plates on it are pressed upwards to complete the diamond fold. The corner v, Fig. 29, is next folded down by a slide on the wheel carrying the blades, and, when the bag reaches the horizontal position, it is drawn off the blade by reciprocating hooks 142, Fig. 23, and guided through rollers 143, 144. A blade 145 then forms the crease for the last fold before the bag passes beneath the roller 146.

Title: Improvements in Photographic Cameras.
Inventor: BECK CONRAD
Filed: 1902-10-30
Granted: 1902-12-24
Abstract: 23,733. Beck, C. Oct. 30. Cameras; roller slides; shutters.-A camera with a roller slide and two shutters, one at the focal plane and one at the lens, is shown with the bellows removed. The rollers 12, 11 of the blind shutter are mounted between rollers 1 of the roller slide. The front 3 is mounted on metal runners 5 fixed in the middle of the hinged baseboard 7. To fold up the camera, the front 3 is pushed back, the stays 6 are disconnected, and the baseboard 7 is folded up on the back. The camera is supported by a metal frame 8, which is pivoted to the baseboard 7 so that it can be turned over the end of the latter in folding up the camera. The focussing is done by moving an arrow on the front along a scale of distances on the baseboard, lines being marked on each side of the arrow to indicate depths of focus for the different lens apertures. The lens shutter, which consists of two hinged plates 15, is closed while the roller blind shutter is being set by turning the button 25. To make an exposure, the button 16 is depressed, a movement which, acting through the links 17, 18, 20, or through a flexible shaft, opens the shutter 15, then lifts the pawl 14, which releases the roller-blind shutter, and makes an exposure. The blind shutter has two apertures, one equal in size to the aperture 2 in the back of the camera, and a narrower aperture for more rapid exposures. There is an adjustable stop arrangement in the blind roller 12 by means of which either of these apertures can be used. This stop arrangement consists of anaxial screw actuated by the roller 12 and thus moved lengthwise, till it comes against a stop and arrests the shutter. For a time exposure, the large aperture of the roller blind is brought opposite the opening 2 and held there by the pawl 14, which is locked by a sliding plate 81. The time exposure is then made by the front lens. A method of holding the spools of roller slides so that they can be easily removed or inserted is described. A spring is placed at one end of the spool so that it can be pushed back to liberate the other end.
