Inventor: ALEXANDRE DERENNE
IPC: B65H3/38
Filed: 1910-04-08
Abstract: 8560. Derenne, A. April 8, 1909, [Convention date]. Void. [Published under Section 91 of the Act.] Feeding sheets.-Relates to mechanism for separating and feeding sheets from a pile, comprising a pneumatic separator for lifting the top sheet and conveying it to rollers which deliver it with decreasing speed against the front stops, where it is registered. Means are also provided whereby, when one pile table has been emptied, it may be readily replaced by another. The top sheet is lifted from the pile by a sucker consisting of a tube n secured by a clamp x in a collar R carrying fixed and spring arms y, y<1> provided with rollers which engage opposite sides of flanges on inclined rails G. The separator is connected by a link g to a slot h in a variable-throw crank C, which slides on a block d on the end of a shaft B and is controlled by a roller f running in a stationary cam D fixed to the machine framing. In its position of rest above the pile, the sucker n is supported by a rest F formed on a lever i, pivoted at j to the framing and oscillated by a cam H on the shaft B. As soon as the sucker has grasped the sheet, it is rocked to bend up the front edge by a lever L, which is mounted on a pin S on the frame and connected by a link to a slotted lever q, pivoted at r to the frame and rocked by an adjustable cam o. The lever q is kept in contact with the cam by a spring u. A blast of air is directed against the edge of the separated sheet to detach any additional one adhering. The sheet is delivered by the sucker n to rollers S, l<1>, which present it with decreasing speed to the front stops. The roller S projects through an aperture in the feed board M and is driven by a chain from a shaft s. This shaft carries two sectors T, T<1> of different radii, which engage corresponding sectors U, U' on an adjacent shaft driven continuously by gearing. The drop roller l<1> is raised and lowered at the required intervals by a cam i<1>. After the sheet has arrived at the front stops, it is registered sideways by a moving sidelay m<1> and is pushed fairly up to the front stops by a pusher n'. The pile of sheets is supported on a table V, Fig. 5, suspended by chains from nuts o<1> on elevating-screws p<1> and capable of lateral adjustment by screws t<1>. As soon as the pile is exhausted, the table is removed, the nuts o<1> are rapidly lowered by hand, and a previouslyloaded table V<1> temporarily resting on brackets s<1> is attached.

Granted: 1912-03-07
Abstract: 5711. Ingrey, C., and Bolton, A. W. March 7. Rolling-machines. - In machines of the type comprising a roller 3 working over a table, for rolling plastic &c. material into sheets, particularly albuminous substances such as casein, milk curds, &c., the material is subjected to a progressive compression by lowering the roller on to the table step by step; or by raising the table towards the roller. Fig. 1 shows a machine in which the table is supported by toggle links 35<1> adjustable by a hand-wheel 42 and rod 39. The roller 3 is guided on the framework 1 and is traversed backwards and forwards by a chain 5 passing around pulleys 6, one of which is driven from a shaft 15 through worm gearing 14, 13 and spur gearing 10, 9. Tappets 5<1> on the chain 5 operate a reversing-lever 19 which operates a clutch-controlling-member 34 through a lever 22, arm 23, levers 24, 27, and link 29. After each complete reciprocation, the roller is stopped for the adjustment of the table, a pawl engaging with a pin 27<2> on the lever 27 to hold it in mid position. The position of the table is shown by an indicator x connected through a rod 45, link 46, and lever 44, to the upper pin of one of the toggles 35<1>. The table and the roller may be hollow for the circulation of heating-fluid. In a modification, the table is fixed and the roller tracks are supported on toggles. A belt y fed from a spool 53, or an endless belt of fabric, metal, &c., is employed to support heated or very wet materials. To prevent adhesion of sticky materials, these are enclosed between plates 55, 58, Fig. 6, the upper plate 58 being retained by angle-brackets 59, 59', of which the plate 59<1> is hinged at 61 and held by screws 62. For producing bars &c., cutters are mounted upon a spindle b, Fig. 1, carried by arms a pivoted to the roller frame 4. The cutters can be held out of action by hooks c engaging pins d. According to the Provisional Specification, the table may be adjusted by eccentrics.

Title: Improvements in Means for Controlling the Feeding and Delivery of Envelopes and like Articles in Printing Presses.
Inventor: MORRISON LEWIS EDWIN
IPC: B65H3/26
Filed: 1910-07-19
Granted: 1911-07-19
Abstract: 5796. Morrison, L. E. July 19, 1910. Pile tables; sheet separators; delivery apparatus.- Relates to means for feeding envelopes to and delivering them from platen presses comprising (1) means for feeding the envelopes from the bottom of a pile and conveying them to the platen, (2) means for tripping the impression should no envelope be present and (3) grippers for removing the printed envelopes from the platen co - operating with means for diverting any that may not have been printed, into a separate receptacle. The envelopes are stacked in hoppers formed by members 217 clamped to a transverse bar 209. Each member 217 comprises an upright 210 and a side-piece 211, which latter carries a shelf 214 with an upstanding rounded edge cooperating with a sliding weighted finger 213. A rubber finger secured to the upright 210 prevents the passage of more than one envelope. By interposing an intermediate member 218, a double hopper may be formed for the purpose of feeding two series of envelopes side by side to the platen. The bottom envelope is fed out beneath feed-rolls 225 on to a series of tapes 57 on a pivoted frame 55, by a pusher which is reciprocated along guides by levers 81 and links 224. The envelopes pass down the tapes 57 between guides 58 on to the platen 36. (2) On its way to the platen, the envelope passes between electric contacts 192, in circuit with an electromagnet 200 on the hand-trip lever 178. If one of either series of envelopes be missing, the magnet 200 is excited and a latch 203 pivoted on the lever is attracted into engagement with a notch 206 on a bar 205 clamped to the side arms 47. The lever 178 is thus moved into the position shown, rocking an arm 183 and rotating the eccentric bearings of the shaft 189. (3) The envelopes are removed from the platen by grippers 125, which deliver them on to an inclined board 241 from which they slide down into the box 240, 'having a pivoted bottom 249 to facilitate removal. Should the impression be tripped, the unprinted envelopes are diverted into a receptacle 247 by a pivoted flap 242 operated by a lever 244 and a cord 246 from a shaft 227 actuated by the tripping-mechanism. The shaft 227 carries a notched disk adapted to be rotated in one direction by a pawl rocked by a rod 235 from the frame 39, and in the other by a pawl moved by a rod 236 when the trip lever 178 is reset after having tripped the impression. The arm 231 is thus depressed to open the flap 242 and is held in that position by a spring roller until reset by the next movement of the upper pawl.

Granted: 1912-12-04
Abstract: 27,163. Priest, S. B. Dec. 4. Extincteurs ; sprinklers, automatic. - Relates to a system of the type in which a pivoted extincteur adapted to be operated by reversal is provided with a hollow journal, also forming a discharge pipe, which is connected to a sprinkler pipe having fusible outlets, the opening of which effects the release of the extincteur, a valve in a watersupply pipe being opened by the rotation of the extincteur. The extincteur 1 is provided with trunnions 3, 4, and is held in the upright position by means of a stop-pin 13, which engages a perforated bracket on the extincteur, and is pivoted to a bell-crank lever 18 carrying the armature 20 of a releasing- magnet 21. The trunnion 4 forms part of an L-shaped discharge pipe, which rotates with the extincteur and thus causes a discharge opening 24 to register with a passage leading to the distributing-pipe 25 of the sprinkler system. By means of bevel gear 31, 32, the rotation of the trunnion 4 opens a valve 30 in a watersupply pipe 29. A check-valve 28 shuts off the water-supply pipe 29 from the distributing-pipe 25 until the pressure in the extincteur falls below that in the pipe 29. The valves 38, Fig. 6, of the sprinkler heads are held in place by an adjustable screw-and-socket device 42, the upper end of which engages a fusible member 41. When this member melts, a spring-pressed arm 52 is released and rises so as to make contact between two terminals 53, 49, the circuit of the electro-magnet 21 and of an alarm bell being thus closed.
