Abstract: 7982. Anglo-American Inventions Syndicate, [Smith, W. H.]. April 2. Tripping-arrangements. - In tripping- arrangements for printing or numbering machines, or combined printing and numbering machines, in which the impression is thrown off by the partial turning of a spring-actuated shaft, the impression is thrown on by means of a constantly-operating power-actuated element tending to return the shaft but normally held inoperative until rendered effective by the manual operation of a releasing-mechanism. In the machine shown in Fig. 1, printing and numbering cylinders 2, 3 coacting with an impression cylinder 1 are mounted in eccentric bearings 4 connected by a toggle 5, which is moved to trip or untrip the impression by means of a link 8 connected to an arm 7 of a shaft 6. A pawl 10, Fig. 6, normally engages a collar 12 on the shaft 6 and is adapted to be disengaged therefrom upon failure of the feed supply by means such as are described in Specification 23,894/99, thereby permitting the shaft 6 to turn under the action of a spring 9 to break the toggle 5 and trip the impression. The shaft 6 is turned to restore the impression by the engagement of a pawl 15 with the single notch 15<a> of a ratchet-wheel 16 fixed to the shaft 6. The pawl 15 is carried by a bell-crank 17 loosely mounted upon the shaft 6 and is constantly operated by a cam 20 and connexions 18, 19. When the impression is tripped, the ratchet-wheel 16 moves to the position shown in Fig. 4, and the pawl 15 is prevented from engaging the notch 15<a>, until desired, by means of a second ratchet-wheel 22 having a single notch 22<a> loosely mounted upon the shaft 6 and held by a retaining-lever 25 engaging a recess 23 in the ratchet-wheel 22. Upon moving the lever 25 against its spring 26, the ratchet-wheel 22 is turned by a spring 27 until the notches 22<a>, 15<a> are in line, in which position it is held by the engagement of the lever 25 with a second recess 24. The ratchets 22, 16 are then returned by the pawl 15 to normal position to throw on the impression and the parts are held by the re-engagement of the lever 25 with the recess 23 and the pawl 10 with the collar 12.
