Patent GB-190107822-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in and appertaining to Machines for Making Paper and Cardboard Boxes.
Inventor: KAUFFMANN ANDRE LION
Filed: 1901-04-16
Granted: 1901-06-08
Abstract: 7822. Kauffmann, A. L. April 16. Making paper boxes.-Paper and cardboard boxes are formed from a blank which is cut and scored as shown in Fig. 8. The blank is placed in the position I on the bed 36 of the apparatus, Fig. 1. It is fed thence, by the shoulder 4, of a reciprocating plate 5, to the feed-rollers 6, 7, which bring it to the piston II. Here two inclined verticallymoving pushers D serve to turn down the front corner flaps c along the creases e, and these flaps, as the blank is fed along, are folded on the underside of the bottom a by curved guides E, in conjunction with which operate reciprocating folders F. The blank next passes between rollers on the shafts 46, 47. On the shaft 46 is mounted at the centre a roller 48, having circumferential grooves, which acts in conjunction with a lower gumming- roller on the shaft 47, having circumferential teeth 49 opposite the grooves in the roller 48. At the ends of the shaft 46 are ordinary feed-rollers. The teeth 49 receive the gum from the receptacle 53 through the rubber roller 51 and the roller 52. The underside of the flap b is thus gummed, and, as the blank is fed forward, this flap is bent downwards along the crease f by a pusher I, and a stop j serves to fold it against the flaps c already folded. The blank then passes between the rollers K by which the gummed flaps are pressed together. Over these rollers pass endless bands L, which serve to carry the blank from the position III to the position IV, in which latter position it is reversed. From the position IV, the blank is fed to feed-rollers, and thence through an apparatus corresponding with that described for folding and gumming the corresponding flaps c<1>, b<1>. In this case, however, owing to the reversed position of the blank, the flaps are folded upwards. In folding the flaps c<1> along the crease lines e<1>, inclined devices rest on the crease lines while the folding is being effected. The folded box is finally carried to a vertically-reciprocating table having slots in which horizontally-moving fingers work in co-operation with the table to support the boxes and move them upwards between guides. To facilitate the removal of injured blanks, the upper guide-plates 37, and the upper shafts in both sections of the apparatus, are carried on hinged counterweighted frames D, which are normally held down by catches worked by handles 63, 163. The crease lines i form the corners of the set-up box.

Abstract: 22,719. Norman & Beard, and Beard, G. A. W. Oct. 18. Pianofortes.-A pedal action for depressing the keys consists of bellows or pistons operated by the pedals, and actuating striking bellows or pistons, together with electric or pneumatic detent mechanism for holding down the key until the pedal is released. Coupling arrangements are also described. Depression of the pedal A, Fig. 1, opens the receiver bellows B, and causes the sustaining-bellows E and striking-bellows D to close. The sticker rod F, which depresses a key, is thus raised and kept up by the arm on the sustaining-bellows, which is held by a block G until the spring J closes the receiver bellows and the sustaining-bellows reopens. The sustaining-bellows may carry an arm directly engaging with a shoulder on the sticker, or the opening of the receiver bellows may complete an electric circuit and thereby energize an electromagnet G<2>, Fig. 3, which attracts an armature E<1> on the striking-bellows. The raising of the valve K by the pin H determines the stroke of the sticker. Pressure bellows or motors may be substituted in the action, and there may be a valve between the receiving and striking bellows which is normally closed. Fig. 8 shows the receiver bellows 1<b> with super-octave, sub-octave, and unison tubes 4, 5, 3 leading to the respective striking-bellows 26, so as to permit of coupling. A pad 9<b> closes the coupler tubes when the bellows is collapsed, and there are slides 6<a>, 6<b>, 6<c> which can open or shut the tubes, each slide being actuated by bellows arrangements provided with detents.

Abstract: 10,780. Reichwald, A., [Krupp, F.]. May 12. Mountings for high-angle. fire guns. The firing- height X, Fig. 3, is made so small that, at elevations greater than that shown in Fig. 1, the breech will strike the ground unless a trench be made. In order to avoid digging a trench at elevations when it is not required and also to prevent its being forgotten when the elevation requires it, an adjustable stop is placed on the carriage, which prevents the gun from being elevated to such a point that a trench is required, until the stop is shifted out of place, which operation can only be performed when a suitable trench has been made. Two bent lever arms K are pivoted to the carriage cheeks E by pins L and are connected by a trough-shaped portion N, beyond the end of which the gun does not recoil. Either the upper, as shown in Fig. 3, or the lower ends, as shown in Fig. 1, of segmental extensions k on the arms K are attached to the carriage by bolts passing through eyes attached to the sides of the carriage cheeks and the holes k<1>, k<2> in the extensions k. The levers K carry stops R with limbs r, r', one pair of which engage with lugs S upon the gun cradle, and thus limit the elevation.
