Granted: 1910-01-26
Abstract: 1856. Gledhill, A. H. Jan. 26. Drawings to Specification. Autographic cash registers.-In order to dispense with one carbon or ink ribbon in cash-registering tills when an original and two copies or two carbon impressions only of the transaction are required, one carbon or like transfer - strip is interposed between the lowest record-strip and a middle transparent strip, on top of which the strip to receive the writing is placed. The reverse copy from the carbon is read through the transparent strip. When only one duplicate is required, the ordinary upper strip is dispensed with, entry beiag made on the transparent strip with a pencil or stylus, thus rendering fraudulent entry impossible.

Abstract: 3874. Taylor, G. R. Feb. 17. Bending, creasing, &c.- A machine for bending cardboard &c., of the kind described in Specification 13,841/01, is constructed so as to operate on boards of low quality by producing each bend by the successive action of three or more pairs of disks, which coact with rotating collars provided with annular ridges. As applied for forming two bends simultaneously, the bends are formed by the action of two similar sets of pairs of disks. Each first pair consist of an inner vertical disk i arranged slightly in front of a disk i<1> which is inclined. The second pairs consist of two disks i<2> inclined at a greater angle to the vertical than the first inclined disk. The third pairs are arranged so as to be parallel to, or only slightly inclined to, the plane of the bend. When one bend only is to be formed, the first pair of disks may be symmetrically arranged. The disks coact with adjustable collars k mounted in brackets l and formed with V-shaped annular ridges k<1> ; the disks i and the collars k are capable of lateral adjustment, and are driven by suitable gearing.

Abstract: 10,967. Lange, J. E., and Lange, L. May 8. Adding- apparatus for monetary values; o v e rthrow-preventing mechanism.-In a key-operated adding - machine of the multiple - bank type, a special form of transmission-mechanism is described in connexion with the single key provided at the left-hand side of the unit shillings bank and adapted to rotate the shillings drum through ten steps. This drum is provided with the numerals 0 to 19 representing shillings. Keys 8 in the unit shillings h a n k are adapted, as usual, to impart differential movements to a lever 5 by means of a lower series of studs 9 on the keystems, rotating the registering-drum 1 through the sector 4, pinion 3, and ratchet-device 13, 12. The drum is locked by means of an upper series of studs 10 on the opposite sides of the key-stems, which engage with an arm 7, on the left of, and similar to, the arm 5 and rock the hooked arm 11, into the path of the pins 12 on the drum. When the single key 17 referred to is depressed, a projection 25 thereon rocks a shorter arm 23 provided with lugs 27, 28 on its rearward end. The lower lug 27 rocks an arm 18 and rotates the drum through a sector 19, engaging with a pinion on the other side of the drum, and a pawl engaging the pins 12, while the upper lug depresses the arm 7, thus limiting the movement as before. The shorter arm 18 may, however, be dispensed with, and the arm 5 rocked to the proper extent by the lower edge of a depending arm 34, Fig. 8, formed on the upwardly - projecting portion 26 of the arm 23.

The modifications comprise (1) cap - pistons fitted with rollers or slippers which operate in conjunction with the stroke-varying ring, (2) the particular construction of stroke-varying ring, and (3) means for lubricating the working parts of the apparatus. Fig. 1 shows the apparatus in which the cylinder-body sleeve 5 is mounted upon the valve 1. Openings 6 are provided to coincide with the ports of the valve 1, and sockets are provided to receive the inner ends of the cylinders 7. The cap-pistons 11 have trunnions 12, which carry slippers 13 working in grooves 14 cut in the inner faces 15 of rings 16, which are bolted together and form the stroke - varying ring. This ring is mounted on ball bearings 18, the whole being slidable within limits to regulate the stroke. The outer casing is formed of an annular member 22 furnished with side walls 21 and a supporting-base 23. The central valve 1 has a solid end, and the cylinder-body sleeve 5 is extended to take the drive. A plug 26 together with the solid end of the valve 1 forms an oil reservoir 27, from which a tube 31 leads to the interior of the ring 16 to permit of lubrication by centrifugal force. A passage 28 is drilled through the valve 1, as shown in Fig. 4, to permit initial charging of the reservoir 27.

Abstract: 14,236. Leslie, J. C. June 13. [Addition to 20,331/09.] Spindle apparatus; stop apparatus, non-automatic. - Relates to a modification of the invention described in the parent Specification. The spindle is carried in an anti-friction ball bearing so that its lower end is clear of the frame, and the wharl is between the bearings, a non-rotary pin being in line with and below each spindle. In the form shown in Fig. 2, a long tube 1 carries the ball cones 7, 8, the cups 4, 5 being at the ends of the wharl 6. The spindle 2 is fixed to a socket 9 on the wharl 6 below the lower bearing, and this socket is small in diameter so that the operatives in India may use their toes to stop the rotation of the spindle; or the spindle may project through the socket for the same purpose. An additional bearing may be provided, the cup being carried at the top of the tube 1 and the cone on the spindle. In a modification, the non-rotary pin 18, Fig. 3, is adjustably fixed in the rail 15 and carries ball cones 22, 23, the cups being carried by the wharl 6 as shown.

Abstract: 28,074. Tucker, J. E. Dec. 2. T r i p p i n g - arrangements. - Relates to means for automatically tripping the impression of a printing- press on the failure of the feed. The sheet passes to the platen over a finger on the shaft 5, which, when no sheet is present, rocks into a slot in an adjacent block, thus swinging the arm 12 to the left. The arm 12 is connected to a rod 13 with an up-turned end which rests on the side arm P of the press, and is retained thereon by a pin 15 on a bracket 16. The shaft 5 carries also a weighted arm 6, connected by a link 9 to an arm 10, oscillated by a cam c on the main shaft. The bracket 16 is pivoted on a stud e on the ink-roller frame, and is formed with horns embracing the roller side arms P'. On the bracket 16 is pivoted a weighted lever 17 having a pin 18 adapted to be engaged, when no sheet is present, by the rod 13, which tilts the lever into position to engage a block 21 on a frame 20 sliding transversely in the roller frame. The frame 20 carries at its other end a projection 27 and a bar 22 having sliding thereon a spring block 23. When the frame 20 is projected inwards by the lever 17, the projection 27 meets a latch pivoted on a lever 30 actuating the eccentrics 28, and disengages it from a lug 29. The continued motion of the roller frame turns the lever 30 and draws back the bed. The latch 31 is reset by the spring block 23.
