Title: Improvements in Machines for Feeding, Printing, Perforating and when required Slitting Tickets in the Strip.
Inventor: KOHNLE FREDERICK
IPC: B31D1/02
Filed: 1911-08-12
Granted: 1912-11-12
Abstract: 18,314. Kohnle, F., and Hunter, G. S. Aug. 12. Making labels.-In a machine for printing strips of stapled tickets for attachment to fabrics &c., the web of paper is drawn over a table 8 by feed-rolls 10, 11 operated, during the working of the machine, by a pawl 16, a link 17, and an arm 18 integral with the reciprocating plunger 2 of the machine, or, for feeding in the web, by a hand-wheel 15. The strip is given a single or a double line of perforations by pins 23 attached to a bracket on the main plunger 2, and is printed between a platen 24 and a type forme on the plunger 2, inked by rollers 26 supported in the arms 27. From the platen the web passes to a feed-roll 37, against which, if a double series of tickets is being produced, a slitting disk 38 is located. If the strip is not to be slit, the spring 40<a> is uncoupled, and the lever 39, 40 with the disk 38 are turned over out of the way. The strip or strips of tickets are wound on a spindle 44 driven, faster than the feed-rolls 10, 11 to tension the strip, from a pulley 45 on the shaft 3 by a slipping belt 44<a> kept fast by a spring jockey roll 47. The number of operations of the machine are recorded by a counter 52. The feeding, perforating, and inking mechanisms are all operated directly from the main reciprocating plunger 2 carrying the printing- forme.

Title: Improvements in or relating to Conveying Apparatus.
Inventor: ADKINS BENJAMIN RATCLIFFE
IPC: B61B13/12
Filed: 1911-12-09
Granted: 1912-12-09
Abstract: 27,682. Adkins, B. R., and Lewis, W. Y. Dec. 9. [Cognate Application, 2064/12.] Propelling. - Relates to conveying - apparatus, more particularly for transferring passengers, wherein a series of carriers are propelled by a screw of varying pitch, and consists in means for constructing, supporting, and propelling the screws, and in means for guiding the carriers. (1) Beneath the platform C of each carrier, Fig. 1, is a pair of swivelling bogies C<1> provided with wheels C<3> running on the track rails and wheels C<7> running in a slot between the rails. One wheel C<7> in the front bogie is mounted in a spring frame D carrying a pair of wheels D<1> engaging the threads of the screw. (2) The carriers are transferred to the return track by a rotating arm E', Fig. 4, provided with fingers E<2> engaging the spindles C<9> of the carriers as they leave the screws. The arm impels the carriers round a semicircular course connecting the tracks; or two arms with quadrantal tracks; and a straight connecting-track may be employed. The shafts of the screws are connected by spur gearing, and one pinion E<6> carries a worm on its shaft E<5> driving a worm-wheel integral with the arm. One of the spur-wheels may be motor-driven. (3) The screw is formed of a bent rail B<1> riveted to a series of rods B<6> secured at intervals between the flanges of symmetrically-arranged trough-shaped bars B<3>. In a modification, two or four bars of L-section are employed. (4) The shafting is formed with sleeves B' resting on the supporting-rollers F. The sleeve is provided with a spiral recess to permit the engagement of the wheels D<1> with the rail B<1>. Where, a change in inclination occurs in the track, the polygon formed by the bars B<3> is plugged by blocks G at the end of each section of shafting. Rods G<1> formed with a ball and socket, respectively, are passed through the plugs. Keyed on the rods are curved arms H<1> formed with intermeshing crown-wheels H and with fingers H<2> to which are secured the ends of the rails B'. The ends of the rails may be cut parallel or perpendicular to the axis of the shaft. In the latter case, the two ends separate at the lower part of the rotation. The arms H' can then be formed hemispherical and supported in a bearing or pedestal shaped somewhat like a wineglass. Fig. 11 shows a method of connecting two shaft sections in alinement. The ends B<Î> of the rails B<1> are bent so as to overlap slightly and permit the use of a pedestal K<1> for supporting the shaft ends. These are connected by a short shaft N mounted in a radial thrust bearing M. A driving-motor may be carried by the pedestal. Where the shafts are out of alinement, each end has a bearing in the pedestal, and the intermeshing crown-wheels are disposed between the bearings. Where the direction changes, there may be a gap in the screw shafting, and the carriers may impel one another across the gap, the shafts being connected by bevel-gearing to one another or to a power shaft.

Granted: 1912-08-08
Abstract: 27,745. Roberts, E., and Taylor, J. Dec. 11. Explosions, preventing, in ships; sprinklers, automatic.-Relates to apparatus for automatically flooding the magazines, coal bunkers, &c. of warships, &c. when a dangerous temperature is reached, in order to prevent explosions. One or more fusible or other devices b of the sprinkler-head type are adapted, when acted upon by excessive heat, to relieve the pressure of water in a pipe c, which is connected to the upper chamber d of a differential valve having a flexible diaphragm i. The lower disk g of the differential valve is thus raised from its seat by the pressure of water in a pipe m connected with the sea, the water thus flowing through a pipe q into the magazine a. The pressure of water in the chamber d is normally maintained by means of a passage w through the valve stem, the passage having a back-pressure valve at the top. The pressure water is introduced into the chamber d in the first place through a pipe t provided with a valve u. The magazine may be flooded manually by means of a by-pass r having a valve s operated from the deck.

Granted: 1912-10-31
Abstract: 28,548. Thomson, R. Dec. 19. Tappet-gears; slide valves.-In a coal-washing jig in which the plunger is operated by means of a piston actuated by fluid pressure, fluid is admitted at an inlet C to the upper surface of a piston F through the inlet ports I of a valve G and forces the piston F and buoyant plunger B down until an adjustable tappet M lowers the valve G and opens the space above the piston F to exhaust through ports J. The buoyancy of the plunger B then causes the piston F to rise until a tappet M' raises the valve G, and the operations are repeated. A spring P and disk Q are provided which come into action at the end of the down-stroke. The upward movement of the plunger may be regulated by throttling the exhaust or varying the weight of the plunger.

Abstract: 18,508. Fogler, G. L. Aug. 12. Ore processes.-Iron ores or other iron-bearing substances are heated in a gas-fired stack furnace with an aluminium or magnesium compound capable of dissolving them, and with a material which will combine with the oxygen in the substance, so as to produce a spongy mass from which the iron is caused to segregate in a fused condition by further heating. The segregation is preferably effected in a separate furnace, for example an open-hearth furnace, so that the stack furnace may work continuously, but it may be effected in the stack furnace. Carbonizing-material may be worked over the bottom of the open - hearth furnace before charging the spongy mass. Feldspar, bauxite, or kaolin may be used as the dissolving- agent, and limestone, silica, or other flux may be added to the charge.
