Title: Improvements in and relating to Machines for Cutting and Folding Paper and the like.
Filed: 1902-09-30
Granted: 1902-11-20
Abstract: 21,263. Lake, H. H., [Cottrell & Sons Co., C. B.]. Sept. 30. Cutting, associating, and delivery apparatus folding paper.-Relates to means for cutting sheets of different lengths from a web, folding the longer sheets, and associating them with the shorter ones. Fig. 2 shows, in sectional elevation, an apparatus in which the web w passes round positivelydriven feed-rollers F, F‹, between cutting-cylinders C, C' and through a fixed guide M to the folding- cylinders G, H. The cylinders C, C' are provided with two pairs of co-operating cutters E, E and E', E', fixed and adjusted by screws a, b, and spaced on the cylinders so that of the two sheets cut at each revolution one is twice the length of the other. The folding - cylinder G is three times the diameter of the cylinder H, and carries a folding-blade f co operating with gripper jaws g, h<1>, h on the cylinder H to fold the longer sheets. The blade f and grippers g, h, h<1> are substantially the same as those described in Specification No. 3921, A.D. 1901. The blade f is secured in the eccentric or cranked portion f* of a rock-sbaft journalled in cheek-pieces f<1> at the ends of the recess in the cylinder. The shaft is rocked by an arm thereon engaging a stationary cam f<4>. The grippers consist of the bar g forming part of a cranked rock-shaft journalled in the cheek-pieces k, and fingers h<1> on a shaft h journalled on the bar g. The fingers h<1> are held by a spring in nearly-closed position, so that the blade f may tuck the fold between them and the bar g. The bar g is rocked to move the grippers into the radial or folding position, shown in Fig. 2, and into tangential position to associate the folded sheet with the half-sheet and release it for delivery. The movement is effected by two cams, one at each end of the cylinder H, which are moved into and out of operative positions alternately by another cam. These cams engage arms on the ends of the rock shaft or bar g. In its first revolution the cylinder H carries the folded sheet round it, and as this revolution is completed the grippers are turned into a tangential position, in which position they are held during the second revolution of the cylinder H, and are turned back to the radial position during the third revolution to repeat the operation. At the end of the first revolution of the cylinder H, the grippers h<1> are opened, by a cam, to release the folded sheet, and this and the single sheet are impaled by radial pins o, by which they are carried round and delivered to tapes p for further folding or otherwise. The pins o, when projected, enter holes in the gripper bar g. They are fixed on a rod o<1> carried by arms of a shaft o<3>, operated by the arm o<4> and a cam. Suitable gearing for driving the cylinders and various parts of the apparatus is described.

Granted: 1903-06-25
Abstract: 8052. Firm, J. L. April 7. Rotary machines; folding paper; delivery apparatus; associating-apparatus; cutting-apparatus.- Web perfecting and folding machinery, for printing in one or in several colours, comprises four sets of printing-apparatus A, B, C, D, each of which has two printing-cylinders 6, 7 and one impression cylinder 8, and two printing cylinders 11, 12 each with its own impression cylinder 13 or 14. Each printing-apparatus has sets of inking- apparatus 9, of the usual kind. Two webs E, and F, G and H, I and K, or L and M may be run through each printing-apparatus, one web being printed by means of cylinders 6, 12, and the other by means of cylinders 7, 11, the printed webs being finally run together between rollers 60, 61, and folded by folding-mechanisms 4. The impression cylinders 13, 14 are not geared together directly, but indirectly, by means of pinions 88, Fig. 3, and 92, 93 mounted on a slidiug-rod 89, which is controlled by means of a handle 91. When it is desired to print the webs in colours, the pinions 92, 93 are put into gear with the impression cylinders ; the web is then printed upon by all the printing - cylinders, in colours on one side and in black on the other side, if desired. In a modification, the sets of printing-apparatus, instead of being arranged in pairs facing one another as in Fig. 1, are placed in tiers, the web-supply rollers being arranged above one another at one end of the machine and the folding-apparatus at the opposite end. Fig. 7 shows a delivery apparatus having two longitudinal folders 184, 189, pointing downwards, and two similar folders 190, 191 pointing upwards, whence the folded webs pass between cutting-cylinders 200, 203 and are cut transversely into sheets, which are stripped from the cylinders by guides 215, 218, of the usual kind, and conveyed by endless converging tapes 219, 229, to a rotary carrier 232. This carrier has two sets of grippers 233 and two folding-blades 234, of the usual form, and the blades force the associated and superposed sheets between folding-rollers 235, whence the folded sheets may be directed to an S-fly 237 and slowly moving tapes 238, actuated in the usual way.

Patent GB-190310734-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in Presses.
Inventor: SMITH DANIEL
Filed: 1903-05-12
Granted: 1904-06-11
Abstract: 10,734. Smith, D. May 12. Forging; punching; shearing; stamping; riveting.-One part of the invention relates to the stopmotion for presses described in Specification No. 659, A.D. 1892. One or both sides of the teeth or projections on the box J, Fig. 1, and on the sliding stop-motion block K, are shrouded by plates C for about half the depth for the purpose of strengthening and stiffening the parts. The box J is actuated by a crank-pin H through a block I and slot, and the block K is actuated, to bring the teeth on the block and box into or out of register, by a band or treadle lever and links. A spindle o acts as a guide for the block K. Figs. 4 and 6 show another arrangement of brake and stopmotion for a press. The interior of the driving- wheel F is formed with ratchet-teeth adapted to be engaged by a pawl P on the driving-shaft H. A brake-disc B on the shaft H is formed with swellings c and stop-pieces g. Levers d, pivoted to a shaft e and controlled by a spring for weights, engage the swellings c to brake the disc B, and then engage the pieces g to bring the disc B and shaft H to rest. During this braking and stopping operation, the pawl P is disengaged from the wheel F by a spring-controlled trigger l, which engages an arm o on the axle of the pawl. The shaft e is coupled to a lever h, and the trigger l is pivoted to a spindle k coupled by links j, i to the lever h. A shoulder or hook on a lever n, actuated by hand or foot, is adapted to engage the link j, which is controlled by a spring and is maintained in engagement with the lever n by a spring p. A catch Q on the top of the lever n is adapted to be engaged by a projection r on the shaft H. In operation, the projection r engages the catch Q and releases the lever n from engagement with the linkj, which is then moved by the spring s to bring the trigger l into position for disengaging the pawl P, and the levers d into position for engaging the swellings on the disc B. The shaft is brought to rest by the engagement of the shoulders g with the levers d. To restart the shaft H, the lever n is operated to turn the shaft e, thereby bringing the levers d out of engagement with the stops, and the trigger l out of engagement with the arm o. By turning the catch Q out of the working-position, the press slide makes a stroke every time the lever n is actuated. The outer end of the axle of the pawl P carries a lever T, which may be acted upon by a screw, or an eccentric motion, for the purpose of forcing the end of the pawl into a seat where it is held out of action. The pawl P may be mounted in a recess in the shaft H or in a swelling on the shaft. In the latter case, loose packing-bushes are inserted between the shaft and the boss of the wheel F. Preferably, one bush is arranged inside another, so that, if one or both bushes bind, the shaft will continue to rotate. The ratchet member may be arranged on the boss of the wheel F to strengthen the same.

Title: Improvements in Gas Governors.
Inventor: GRIEVE GEORGE KING
Filed: 1903-12-21
Granted: 1904-12-15
Abstract: 27,960. Grieve, G. K., and Peebles, W. C. Dec. 21. Pressure - regulating valves ; gas valves and cocks.-In a gas governor, gas passes from the inlet opening A, through holes B in the periphery of a cap C covering an inner chamber D, to an annular space E, whence the gas can pass through an opening J, regulated by means of a screw K, to the chamber D, and also by openings G to the underside of a piston H which has a hollow spindle L ; this spindle is formed with an orifice P and serves as a means of communication between the chamber D and outlet R. The spindle L slides in an annular projection N which prevents the piston from falling below the top of the opeaings G, and its upper end enters into a projection on the cap C. When the pressure of the incoming gas rises, the piston H is raised and the opening P partially closed, reducing the amount of gas passing to the outlet. In modifications, the opening J may be dispensed with and the gas made to pass to the chamber D, through openings in the piston A, or the inlet and outlet passages may be arranged in a horizontal line instead of vertically.

Title: Improvements in Moulds for Golf Tees.
Inventor: PEARSON NORMAN
Filed: 1904-03-30
Granted: 1905-02-02
Abstract: 7547. Pearson, N. March 30. Golf. - A mould for forming tees from sand &c is formed with two sliding inner portions e, B, Figs. 1 and 3, to eject the moulded tee. The mould is formed of a case C, the sliding chamber e, which is provided with a flange d, and the plunger B, which is convex at its lower end in order to form a suitable seating in the tee for the ball to rest on. The chamber e is formed with a shankf, to which a sleeve k with a head o is connected by means of a bayonet-joint connection, formed by a metal tongue on the sleeve engaging in a slot in the shank f. The plunger B is also provided with a shank p, which passes through the shank f, and is provided with a screwed sleeve q<1> upon which is a head q. The shanks f, p are acted on respectively by springs g, r, which keep the parts e, B in the raised positions shown in Fig. 1. The tension of the spring r can be regulated by means of the sleeve q<1>. To use the mould, it is first pushed down into a heap of sand, which thus takes the shape of the mould. The tee is now ejected from the mould by placing two fingers of one hand on the shoulder s of the case C, and depressing the plunger B by applying the thumb to the head q. The springs g, r are of such relative strengths that, as the plunger B descends, the chamber e, and with it the flange d, descends to an equal extent, and so forces the bottom of the tee out of the mould. The chamber e remains fixed when it has reached the bottom of the mould, and the plunger B then moves relatively to this chamber and forces the rest of the tee from the mould. The final position of the parts of the mould is shown in Fig. 3. To prevent sand from falling off the mould into the user's pocket, the rim s of the case may be formed cylindrical in shape and preferably with a shoulder s', over which may fit a cap D, shown by dotted lines in Fig. 3.
