Inventor: LINDAUER SIGMUND
IPC: A41C1/00
Filed: 1911-09-07
Granted: 1911-10-26
Abstract: 19,935. Lindauer, S. Sept. 7. Corsets.-In corsets which are made so long as to extend a considerable distance below the busks, the front stocking-suspenders C<1>, C<2> are attached to tabs D', D<2>, which are sewn to the vertical edges d of the corset material below the ends b<1>, b<2> of the busks. By this arrangement, the pull of the suspenders is distributed along the entire length of the edges d, and acts to draw the edges of the corset together instead of to separate them, the tabs D<1>, \ D<2> being connected respectively to the opposite halves A<1>, A<2> of the corset. Any tendency of the lower ends of the busks to tear or pierce the material is also obviated.

Granted: 1912-10-14
Abstract: 22,597. Schettler, G. A. Oct. 13. Printing - apparatus combined with areameasuring machines.-In apparatus for measuring the area and thickness of leather and for printing the result obtained on the article, as described in Specification 3920/10, the plungers 17 operate, through links 26, 27 and a pivoted arm 22, a series of plungers 1, which co-operate with disks 2 mounted on a shaft 9. The disks are each provided with a series of pins 11 and a chain-wheel or pulley carrying a chain or belt 3 bearing the printing type-plates 6. The corresponding chain-wheels 4 are carried by a shaft 7, the distance between the shafts being adjusted by screwed rods 10. The pins 11 serve as stops in conjunction with the slides 1 to set type when the shaft 9 is rotated in the direction of the arrow, the disks being frictionally mounted on the shaft. One of the pins 19 serves, in conjunction with a fixed stop 20, to position the bands at the zero. The movement of the plungers 17 is effected by the lowering of weighted arms 28, which are mounted on the pivot 24 of the arms 22 and are supported by a rod 29. The rod 29 is carried by arms 30 pivoted at 24 and raised or lowered by adjustable weighted links 31 connected by bell-crank levers 32 to a sliding rod 33 reciprocated by a cam 34 on a wheel 35. The oscillating movement of the shaft 9 is produced by a reversing-device 39 controlled by a slide bar 40, Fig. 5, moved against a spring 41 by a cam 42 on the wheel 35. The device 39 is mounted on a shaft 43 driven by the wheel 35 and is arranged to drive the shaft 43 in either direction or allow it to remain stationary. The shaft 43 is connected to shaft 9 by chain gearing 37. Inking-apparatus.-The inking-device, which is adapted to come into operation only when the type is stationary, comprises a roller 45 mounted on the shaft 43 and rotating in ink or the like and driving a spring-pressed roller 48. The ink is applied to the type by a roller 49 carried by a chain 50 passing round chain-wheels 51 carried by shafts 52 supported by side arms 8. One of the shafts 52 is driven by a chain from a wheel 54 loose on the shaft 9 and driven therefrom by an arm engaging a pin on the wheel. The chain is thereby moved to carry the roller 49 across the type after it has been set or returned to zero, a lost motion between the driving parts being provided for this purpose. The material to be marked is lifted into contact with the type by a platform 58 operated by levers 59 on a shaft 60 connected by links to a shaft 64, which is rocked by a pin 66 on the wheel 35. To effect automatic operation after the depression of the treadle to put the driving- clutch into action, the wheel 35 is provided with additional cams (not shown) for controlling the various mechanisms.

Abstract: 18,745. Roger, A., and Jaquemet, M. G. V. Aug. 15. 0ff-set machines; hand-stamps; inking-apparatus.-Relates to means for offset-printing on walls, ceilings and other surfaces; by taking a compound design from a series of colour blocks, on to a suitable offset surface and printing it on the wall &c. The separate colour blocks 4 are placed in succession in a frame 5 and secured in register by keys 6. At each side of the frame are slideways 7 for accommodating a travelling inking-apparatus, and upstanding flanges 8 formed with recesses 8<1> for receiving register pins 9 on the offset member, such as a roller 15, carried in a suitable frame 17. Rotation of the roller may be prevented by a hand-operated catch 19, 20, 21, and the roller registered at the beginning of the design by pins 11 which engage in holes 10 in the frame 5. The offset surface is rolled over the three printing-blocks 4 in succession and the compound design applied to the surface to be decorated. A flat offset surface in which the pressure is produced by a roller or by a fluid pressure and provided with register pins may also be employed. A modified offset device 13, for printing in the angle between two walls, is formed with two segmental surfaces 12 and register pins 9, 11, 11' for assisting registration. In a further modification, the offset surface is formed in two parts at right-angles for printing designs in corners, the pressure being produced by fluid pressure. A frame 5 for each colour block may be placed side by side, each being associated with an inking-device as illustrated in Fig. 19. The ink is ejected from a collapsible container M by collapsing the under case consisting of freely moving elements I, J, K. This is effected by a screw D which passes through a nut a fixed within a ratchet-wheel b. The wheel b is turned intermittently by a pawl carried by a forked arm E turning freely on the sleeve a. The arm E is connected flexibly to a rod f pivoted to a handle F, the movement of the arm being limited by stops i, i' or by the stop i and pins j inserted in holes j' in the segment G. The shafts H of the several inking-devices may be coupled together so that the whole may be operated by a single handle F. The ink is ejected from the container through the orifice Z, which is adjustable by means of a sliding block N, on to a roller P which is rotated by a chain u from a roller Q turned by a handle Y. The ink is conveyed from the roller P to the roller Q by gelatine rollers U, T mounted in an arm V normally held raised so that the rollers T, P are in contact, by a spring x. Forme-inkers R<1>, R<2> in a travelling carriage X are reciprocated over the forme and receive a fresh supply of ink from the roller Q, the movement of the carriage X operating a rod y to separate the rolls P, T while the rollers Q, R are in contact.

Granted: 1914-02-26
Abstract: 14,426. Krupp Akt.-Ges. Grusonwerk, F. July 19, 1912, [Convention date]. Magnetic separators.--The field of a magnetic separator is divided into partial fields of different magnetic strength by planes parallel to the direction in which the material to be treated and the separated magnetic material travel across the fields, so that the several partial fields may be used simultaneously for treating different classes of material. In the form shown in Fig. 1, in which the separator comprises upper and lower poles a, b, and a rotating roller for removing the magnetic material, the division of the field is obtained by forming one or both poles of lamellµ k which are independently adjustable. As an alternative to the lamellµ k, or in conjunction therewith, the roller may be formed of disks d of different diameters. As a further alternative, one or both poles may be formed of interchangeable pole-pieces. Displaceable partitions may be used in the supply and discharge shoots, or interchangeable supply and discharge shoots may be used.
