Title: Improvements in Typewriting Machines.
Inventor: FELL JOHN CORRY
IPC: B41J11/04
Filed: 1909-07-06
Granted: 1910-04-14
Abstract: 15,773. Fell, J. C., [Smith Premier Typewriter Co.]. July 6. Sheet-guiding arrangements; paper-supports.-Relates to paper-finger devices that are specially useful for manifolding work in enabling erasures to be readily made on the separate sheets. Extensions on the end bars 7 of the platen carrier carry screws 21 on which are pivoted arms 22 connected Ly a rod 26. An arm 27 secured to the left-hand bar 6 of the carriage truck is bent to provide a stop 29, which lies normally in the path of the arm 22 and prevents it from dropping accidentally. A spring locking-latch 30 pivoted at 31 engages a pin 33 on the left arm 22 ; this pin 33 is in rear of the screws 21 so that if the platen be tilted upwards on the pivots 13 by means of a finger-piece 14 so as to bring the arm 22 out of the path of the stop 29, and the rod 26 be then pulled forward, the pin 33 will rise slightly and depress the latch 30, thereby disengaging the swinging frame 22,26 and allowing it to be brought to the position shown in Fig. 5. The frame is arrested by a notch 35 in the arm 22 engaging the stop 29, and acts as a counterweight to hold the platen in its tilted position. The movement of the latch 30 when released is limited by a tail-piece 30<a>, so that when the frame is restored to its normal position, the pin 33 re-seats itself in the latch. The rod 26 supports one or more paper-fingers, two main fingers 43 for cooperating with the paper margins, and a smaller central finger 45 being described. Each finger 43 is spring-connected with, and rotatable on, a laterally adjustable sleeve, which is provided with an internal feather engaging a groove in the rod 26. The amount of rotation is limited by a tooth on one of the ears 39 of the finger engaging the feather groove of the sleeve. The fingers may thus be moved away slightly from the platen when the parts are as shown in Fig. 4, but normally they press the paper-plate 19 against the paper. When the frame is swung downwards, the paper-plate 19 moves away from the platen and the portions of the sheets a, b, c above the apron 16 may be moved to allow erasures in the printing line of either of the sheets a, c to be made. Specification 15,772/09 is referred to.

Granted: 1911-03-23
Abstract: 10,279. Massey, H. F., and Clayton, H. April 27. Stamps, ore and like.-In a drop-stamp or like machine in which the tup is lifted by the frictional contact of a band, board, or the like pressed against a revolving pulley, the pressureroller, brake-block, or other device for producing the pressure necessary for lifting is given, as the tup rises, an automatic movement in the direction tending to reduce the pressure, and, as the tup falls, a corresponding movement in the direction tending to increase the pressure. The pressure roller f, Figs. 1 and 2, is mounted on a crank-shaft g supported in bearings h secured to a cross-bar e, to which the end of the band d is attached. The roller is pressed towards or from the revolving pulley b by means of a lever i carrying a pulley o, over which passes a cord n with an operating-handle p at one end. The other end of the cord n is attached to a pulley l over which passes a cord k secured at one end to the tup a and at the other end to a stud m on one of the tup guides. When the handle p is pulled to lower the lever i, the tup is raised by the band d, and, as the tup rises, the cords k, n slacken and the lever i is raised by a spring or counterweight j, thus relieving the pressure between the roller f and the pulley b. If the handle p is suddenly held still while the tup is falling, the lever i is depressed and the roller f pressed against the pulley b, thus checking the fall. Any suitable arrangement of pulleys may be provided to reduce the movement of the handle p relatively to that of the tup. The roller f may be placed on the same side of the pulley b as the tup, and the band d may be replaced by a rigid board. Specifications 15,472/02, 13,131/04, and 12,859/06, [all in Class 83, Metals, Cutting &c.], are referred to.

The hoist cylinder 10, with its ram 11 connected directly or through ropes with the load, is in communication by a pipe 18 with one port of a rotary pump 17 operated by an electric motor 16. The pump is preferably of the kind described in Specification 12,574/09, [Class 102 (i), Pumps &c.], having reversible delivery and supply ports, connected respectively to the lift and balance cylinders 10, 13. The pump 17 is reversed and controlled by a rod 20, Fig. 4, carrying a roller 26 engaging a curved slot in a plate 24 controlled by the hand-rope 23. Liquid escaping by leakage is led to a pit 34, and is returned to the system by a small pump 35 driven by an electromotor which is started automatically by a float or ball valve. When a double-acting hoist cylinder is used, the leakage returns from the pit by atmospheric pressure through non-return valves. The control rod 20 may be actuated by a spirally-slotted disk rotated by a hand-rope or by a relay electromotor 45 operating similarly to that described in Specification 8576/02. The control motor 45 has forward and reverse coils 47, 48 coupled to a series of switches actuated by the motor 45 through a wheel 51, and also to switches controlled by up-and-down solenoids 52, 53, energized by the movement of a hand switch 54 in the cage.
