Title: Improvements in Platen Printing Mächines
Inventor: POWELL DANIEL THOMAS
Filed: 1907-06-03
Granted: 1908-05-28
Abstract: 12,833. Powell, D. T. June 3. Platen presses; feeding sheets.-Relates to automatic sheet-feeding and delivery means for platen presses described as applied to a machine of the kind in which the forme is carried on an oscillating frame such as the ' Gordon.' The sheets are fed from a table M, raised as the sheets are removed by ratchet and screw gearing, to rollers Q, 0 by friction disks K prevented from rotating during their forward movement by a ratchet. The disks K are actuated from any moving part by suitable means, such as the chain H. Knives N prevent the removal of more than one sheet at a time. The sheet passes between the rollers Q, O and is conveyed to the platen P by four sets of endless tapes Y, y, Z, z; the set Y passes from the roller Q, beneath the rollers R, X, over the platen, around the roller T, and over the roller R to the roller Q ; the set y around the rolls Q, R ; the set Z from the roller O, beneath the roller R, over the face of the platen, and around the rollers U, g, V, W to the roller O; and the set Z around the rollers O, S, W The tapes are driven intermittently by a friction surface t on the crank-disk E which engages a friction disk e, and a belt f. The sheet is positioned on the platen by stops i, formed with recessed ends which bridge the tapes and carried by a spindle j oscillated by a cam on the shaft D. Frisket fingers l on the spindle m, operated by a cam on the shaft D, hold the sheet on the platen. After an impression, the stops i and the frisket fingers are lifted, and the tapes again operated by the surface t to deliver the sheet between the rollers U, T on to the table h. In order that the platen may be accessible for making ready the rollers U, T, spindles m, j and the pivot x of the levers n, o, for operating the stops and frisket fingers, are carried by a frame u pivoted on studs w, which may be turned into the position shown in dotted lines, the tapes Z being kept taut by a spring- controlled roller V. The sheets may be fed by hand to the rollers Q, O from a suitable feed-board. The platen P may be stationary, but is preferably pivoted so that it can be turned up for making ready.

Patent GB-190717741-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in Balling Machines and Spools, Rollers or like Objects for use in Forming Warps and other similar Assemblages of Yarns or Threads into Balls
Inventor: SEELEY ALFRED
Filed: 1907-08-03
Granted: 1908-07-30
Abstract: 17,741. Seeley, A. Aug. 3. Yarns, balling.-In quick-traverse and other warp-balling machines, in which yarns or threads are wound on to spools or rollers &c., the driving- rollers b, as shown in Figs. 2 and 3, or the driven spools c, or both, are provided with fillets or projecting bands a which serve to drive the spools &c. when a fresh ball is commenced, the knots used for connecting purposes being prevented from coming into contact with the driving-rollers. The yarn on the spool attains a substantially cylindrical form before it bears directly on the driving-rollers. The fillets may be of india-rubber, gutta-percha, leather, wood, metal, paper, cotton, or other bands, or of yarn or card-clothing, wound directly on the rollers or on turned or other collars or enlargements thereon. The collars may be formed by reducing the central parts of the rollers, and may be plain, roughened, or corrugated. Slip-preventing adhesive may also be applied. Two or more driving- rollers or pairs thereof; having their axles in line and driven together from a pulley i, are used with one creel and pair of drawing-off rollers. Two guides q are also used so that two balls are simultaneously produced. By means of gearing j, k, l, m, n, the front driving-rollers b are driven, and also an axle or shaft o provided with traversing- screws p for the guides q, so that one chain or other driving means serves to turn all the driving-rollers. The guides q are provided with guide-eyes r, guiderollers s, and guide-trumpets t, mounted on carriages u provided with pins or studs for engaging the screwsp, and also embracing supporting-rods v. The rods v are clamped by screws x on to a boss on the frame f or g and surrounding the axle o, so that the inclination of the guide-trumpet may be adjusted.

Patent GB-190727311-A (GB)
Title: New or Improved Apparatus for the Utilisation of Variations of Pressure in Steam Boilers.
Inventor: BAILLET ALFRED LEON ERNEST
Filed: 1907-12-10
Granted: 1908-03-12
Abstract: 27,311. Baillet, E. Dec. 20, 1906, [date applied for under Patents Act, 1901]. Fuel supply, draught, &c., regulating.-Apparatus for amplifying small variations in pressure in the boiler in order to utilize them for the regulation of, for example, draught dampers, fans, and fuel supply, comprises three main parts, a valve device, an expansion chamber, and a hydraulic ram. On the pressure in the boiler rising, the piston 12, Fig. 4, is driven downwards, causing the piston 14 to be lowered in the casing 16. This completes the passage for steam from the boiler through tubes 8, 28 and apertures 30, 29, Fig. 6, to the chamber 2. There the steam forces the water contained in the lower part through the passage 4 to the chamber 17 to press up the piston 18 until the pressure is balanced by weights 20 taken up successively by the casing 19. The rising and falling of the casing regulates the position of a damper or the like by the cord shown in Fig. 1. The apparatus is kept in working condition by the condensation of the steam in the chamber 2 causing the balance of the lever 10 to be disturbed. On excessive actuation, a steam port 32 is opened by the inclined surface 34 on the casing 19. On the descent of the compensator 19, a rack 23 actuates a valve 33 so as to produce a small intermittent escape of steam. An alarm 26 may be fitted to indicate the falling of the pressure. The apparatus is described in connexion with a damper, which is arranged to be closed entirely on the opening of the fire-door. On withdrawing the bolt, a counterweight 36 falls, thus opening the valve 41 and permitting steam to pass direct to the chamber 2. The compensator 19 is thus driven to the top of its travel, lowering the damper.
