Granted: 1902-04-17
Abstract: 8647. Vickery, W. April 26. Feeding sheets.-The pile of sheets u is placed on a table a carried by bars b sliding vertically in the uprights c of the framing. The bars bare connected by a chain d, or gearing, with the shaft e of a ratchet-wheel f operated,to raise the table, by a pawl on a rod h connected to an arm i pivoted atj. The arm i is operated by a cam q on the shaft r, and its downward movement is limited by a finger k extending from the pivot-shaft j and engaging the top of the pile u. The top sheet is drawn forward on to a lifting-table v by a roller t in a spring-jointed arm s on the shaft r. The table u is carried by arms of a shaft w, and is lifted to free the top sheet when it has been drawn on to it, by an arm x having a roller y engaging a cam. The table v is in three sections, and between the sections oscillating fingers 3 move to replace under sheets on the pile if more than one is fed. The fingers 3 are on a shaft 2 rocked by a rod and a cam 5. At the rear of the table v is a feedroller 7, and dropping 'rollers 8 on arms 9 on a shaft 10 operated by a pin on the cam 5. The sheet passes on to a table 12 and driven rollers 13, and, just before each sheet arrives at the front stops, a cam on the shaft r operates levers by which a transverse bar 17 is reciprocated in a groove in the table. The bar 17 carries a gripper 18, which is operated to grip the sheet and draw it up to the side stop. Fingers 22 are lowered on to the sheet, as it is drawn off the table by the cylinder grippers, by means operated from the lever which moves the bar 17. When two sheets are to be fed, side by side, two bars 17, moving in opposite directions, are employed, each having a side-registering gripper. The roller 7 may be provided with grooves with which levers co-operate to stop the machine when no sheet is fed to the rollers, the levers in that case dropping into the grooves and operating the stopping- mechanism. The roller t is partly rotated at each movement, by engaging a lever 27, to bring a fresh part of its surface into operation for the next sheet.

Abstract: 13,455. Lake, H. H., [Aeolian Co.]. July 2. Automatic instruments.-The invention relates to tune-sheet rollers and to bearings for them, the object being to provide a roller which lengthens with variations in the breadth of the tune-sheet due to changes of temperature or other causes. The roller consists of two parts b<1>, b<2>, one of them having a socket which receives a pin in the other so as to allow of a slight longitudinal relative motion. The tune-sheet is attached to each part at its sides, as shown at b<6>, and several coils are glued or otherwise secured to one another at points b<7>, b<8> adjacent to b<6>. Instead of a pin and socket, a tenon and mortice may be used, or the roller may be divided obliquely into two parts. Instead again of having a part b<2> at one end only of the roller, each end may be so made, and either of the alternative ways above-mentioned of connecting the parts may be applied to this modification. At one end, the spindle of the roller is shaped so as to engage with the driving-shaft, while at the other it engages with a bearing shown in Fig. 8. The end a<4> is pointed, and rests against a pin e<4> contained in a socket E and resting against a ball. The pin can rotate with respect to the socket, but cannot move longitudinally with respect to it. The socket is acted on by a spring e, so as to press the pin e<4> against the spindle a<4>, but is prevented from rotating by a pin e<6>, which engages with a fixed part of the apparatus.
