Title: Improvements in Means for Receiving and Delivering Sheets of Paper from the Cutters of Printing, Ruling, or Cutting, Machines, and the like.
Inventor: NUTTALL JAMES
Filed: 1907-11-11
Granted: 1908-07-02
Abstract: 24,960. Nuttall, J., and Seddon, C. R. Nov. 11. Delivery apparatus.-Above the band 4, for conveying sheets from the cutters 1, 2 of a printing, ruling, cutting, or like machine, are placed one or more bands 5 or " felts," which rest on the sheets and keep them flat. The bands 5 pass round one or more rollers 6 at their front ends, which rollers may be adjustable and positively driven, and so placed as to prevent the sheets from passing above them. The bands 5 trail free at their rear ends, and may pass through a slotted guide 9. The belt 4 may pass over more than two rollers if desired, so as to vary the slope ; and side belts 10 may be used either alongside the belt 4 or beyond it, to curve the edges of the sheets as described in Specification No. 29,753, A.D. 1906.

Granted: 1908-12-31
Abstract: 89. Metcalfe, J., Metcalfe, J. C., and Metcalfe, R. D. Jan. 1. [Patent of Addition to No. 15,426, A.D. 1907.] Injectors. - R e - lates to injectors of the type described in Specification No. 15,426, A.D. 1907, and consists in means whereby the steam and water supplies may be regulated, under all conditions of working, by the movement of one wheel. To start the injector, the steam and water valvespindles a, bare moved by the control-wheel d, thus opening a valve e to admit steam to the lifter f and also opening a passage h admitting water to theconeo. Further movement admits steam to the forcer g, and opens a supplementary water-supply passage i. The injector may then deal with high-pressure steam and high-temperature water. Still further movement renders the injector capable of dealing with cold feed-water and low-pressure steam. In this case, a disk n first shuts off the supplementary water supply, and the main water supply is gradually lessened as the disk k approaches the passage h.

Vehicles with removable bodies.-Vans and boxes for transporting goods on rail, road, or sea, are comprised of disconnectible sections, formed of steel-braced frames, which are fitted with light panels connected in a weather-proof manner. The size of the box may be varied. A box so formed is provided with a sling chain or cable retained in a clip attachment. The method of connecting two adjoining roof-sections b is shown in Fig. 4, in which the metal parts a, c overlap to prevent the entrance of water. The side and end sections are connected together by means of a bolt c, Fig. 6<2>, the head of which is passed through a hole, and the shank then dropped into a slot. A coverplate b<1> is placed over the opening, and a split wedge-shaped cotter d<2> is passed through the bolt end. The side sections f, Fig. 7, are connected together by means of a metal plate b' with inturned edges b<3>, which take into grooves c<1> deeper than the edges b<3>, so that moisture may run down the grooves.

Granted: 1910-07-21
Abstract: 17,282. Lake, W. E., [Gail, J. F.]. July 24. Tubes, treating.-A machine, for buffing or polishing metal tubes, such as are used in metallic bedsteads, comprises a pair of buffing-wheels, between which the tube is moved to and fro, the wheels being inclined to the axis of the tube and having means to move them away from the tube, and means for stepping the tube round when the wheels are so moved away at each reciprocation of the tube to present a new surface to be buffed. Means are also provided for automatically supplying abrading-material to the buffing-wheels, and for stopping the machine when the operation is complete. The tube 190 is mounted in headstocks 46, 48 on a carriage 35, which is traversed to and fro along a guide-rod 29 by means of a screw 30 driven by a reversing-gear. Mounted on an extension of the supporting-standard 25 is a spindle 69 carrying a pawl plate 74 and a ratchet-wheel 73 connected with a notched disk 70. At each reciprocation of the carriage, the consequent movement of the belt-shifter 56 causes a cam-surface 79 mounted thereon to engage a roller 77 on the pawl plate and slightly rotate the ratchet-wheel and notched plate 70 ; the notches in the plate engage a projection 82 on a spring lever 81, and, at a certain point in the rotation of the plate, a projection thereon forces the lever downwards so that a bevelled projection 83 lies in the path of the arm 62 and, by laterally moving this arm, causes it to escape from the notch 61 in the belt-shifter 56, and leave the belts both on loose pulleys so that the machine stops ; to start the machine again, a rod 90 is actuated to move the belt-shifter and re-engage the arm 62 in notch 61. At each reciprocation of the carriage,.a rack 124, Fig. 7, is raised by a fixed cam 129, and by means of a pinion 131, a one-way clutch, and a cam 135 steps round a head 133 by means of pins 134, and thus imparts an angular advance to the tube. At the same time, a cam - surface 123 on the carriage presses down an arm 121 mounted on a spindle 118 which carries arms 120 ; these engage projections on levers 103, upon which are mounted the buffing- wheel shafts 109, thus moving both wheels out of contact with the tube. The wheels 96 are enclosed in cases 95 provided with tubes 189 for removing dust. Integral with the casing 95 is a casing 94, in which are mounted in guides, blocks of abrading-material 155, 156, held in position by means of springs. These blocks are advanced into contact with the wheels by means of blocks 165, and screws 167 which carry pinions 174, 175 in gear with a pinion 173, which is intermittently rotated by a chain 182 passing round an extension 180 thereof and connected with a lever 185, which is engaged to feed the abradant by a cam-surface 127 on the rack 124 at each reciprocation of the carriage.
