Abstract: 4520. Baumann, M. Feb. 21. Rotary machines; inking-apparatus. - An apparatus to be affixed to the counter of a shop &c. for printing advertisements on tying - up tape made of fibre, of the kind in which the printing-rollers can be exchanged if desired, is so constructed that the tape can be printed in more than one colour. The apparatus comprises a base a, which is secured to the counter &c., and carries a support for a supply-coil band a casing c in which is mounted a printing-roller d fitted with rubber &c. type. The roller d is mounted on a spindle or screw e, and rollers of different kinds may be employed. The tape g is led into and out of apertures in the casing c and through guides h. The roller d co-acts with spring-mounted inking and impression rolls k, f respectively. For printing part of the design in one colour and part in another, a cam m adjustably secured to one side of the roller d is adapted to trip the roller k for a portion of a revolution, and while this portion of the roller d is passing a second inking-roller n, the cam m brings the roller n into printing position by tripping a spring-controlled lever s which normally raises a spring-controlled lever o in which the roller n is mounted. The spring v of the lever s is stronger than the spring q of the lever o so that a pin u on lever s is able to keep the lever o raised normally.

Title: Improvements in or relating to Acetylene Generators for use on Buoys, Lightships and the like.
Inventor: SCOTT CHARLES WILLIAM
IPC: C10H15/06
Filed: 1913-03-22
Granted: 1914-03-23
Abstract: 7015. Scott, C. W. March 22. Feed openings for solid regulated by floats or diaphragms; removing sludge from generators; solid supply to liquid.-To prevent loss of dissolved gas in acetylene-generators used on buoys, lightships, and other floating bodies, due to outflow of water from the generating-chamber, the water in this chamber is cut off from communication with the water external to the generator, and a separate expansion chamber is provided in which the water may rise and fall, and so control the supply of carbide. The invention is applicable to the generators described in Specifications. 18,469/08 and 18,166/11, in which the carbide-feed valves are controlled by floats and diaphragms, respectively: In the form shown in Fig. 1, the expansion chamber c surrounds the generating- chamber a and communicates with the external water through a restricted aperture. f<1>. It is also advisable to provide the chamber with a blow-off opening of large size and fitted with a non-return valve, and this may take the form of the upwardly-extending pipe g with hinged flap g<1>. In the form shown in Fig. 4, the chambers a<1>, a<2> act alternately as generating and expansion chambers, the supply of carbide being diverted by a rocking-plate rand at the same time one or other of the sludge valves c opened. To remove the sludge a valve c, Fig. 1, is provided at the bottom of the generating- chamber. the valve-rod being carried through the carbide chamber i in such a way as to prevent loss of carbide and gas. Or the sludge valve may be arranged at the side of the chamber as shown in Fig. 3, in which it takes the form of a plunger d<2>, which is given a few strokes to agitate the sludge, before being withdrawn to allow its escape. The sludge is discharged by introducing a small amount of carbide and allowing the gas generated to drive out the contents of the generating-chamber, or air may be pumped in for the same purpose. The complete discharge of sludge is indicated by the provision of test pipe leading to the top of the generator, or this pipe may be sufficiently large to allow the whole of the sludge to be expelled or pumped through it. In the case of generators actuated by floats, the float is, in the construction shown in Fig. 1, of the annular type so that it may be accommodated in the chamber e. With the arrangement shown in Fig. 4, the float may be arranged to operate in an annular chamber formed around the upper and reduced parts of the chambers a<1>, a<2>, and arranged to act as an additional expansion chamber. The sludge may be automatically agitated by chains or weighted devices moved by the rolling of the buoy &c. The chains &c. may be hung from a ring, which is suspended so that fingers on the valverod can engage it in such a manner that rotation of the valve-rod moves the agitating-devices with it, and so removes any adhering sludge from the walls of the sludge chamber.

Abstract: 7609. Martin, F. G., and Stedman, Crowther, & Co. March 31. Forging nails; forging - dies; punching; punches.-Headed nails are provided with soft metal caps which are made in one press and attached in a second press. The lead or like caps 2 are formed from a bar 1 by means of a punch 10, Fig. 1, surrounded by a spring- supported ring 12 and a reciprocating bolster 4 containing a die 7 which forges the required cavity in the cap. On the return of the bolster, the rod 19 engages a knock-out arrangement, thereby ejecting the cap. In a modification, a reciprocating punch 4, Fig. 2, cuts off the blank, forcing it into a bolster 11 and against a forging-die 7. On the return of the punch, the cap 2 is ejected by the spring-pressed ring 10. If desired, the caps may be formed with a small hole right through, being in this case threaded on the nails, as shown in. Fig. 5. Headed wire nails 20 are inserted in bolsters 30 carried by a turntable 25 which is intermittently rotated by a reciprocating ratchet 50 and held by a spring- pressed stop 54 normally withdrawn by a projection on the ratchet slide 51 engaging the lever 56. In their movement, the nails 20 are raised, as shown in Fig. 7, by engaging a cam 60 and are then supplied with caps 2. The nails then pass between a spring-supported surface 32 and a press 22 having a reciprocating die 26, Fig. 4, which contains a second die 27. The downward movement of the die 26 presses the cap into firm engagement with the nail, and on its return the die 27 and nail are ejected from the die 26 by a knock-out 36 and the nail ejected from the die 27 by the rod 29 and knock-out 37. The finished nails are lifted out of the bolsters 30 by a spring clip 40, from which they are thrown out by a pivoted ejector 45 engaging a spring stop 47. The clip 40 is raised by an arm 43 of the press head 22 engaging a stop 44 on the rod 41.
