Granted: 1911-10-19
Abstract: 26,158. Gramophone Co., and Reddie, L. N. Nov. 10. Tone-arms. -A gramophone stylus or soundbox pivot is caused to move in a straight radial line over a disk record by means of pivoted link members and tubes. A cabinet gramophone 3 with turntable 2 and record 1 has its internal trumpet 3 connected by a short fixed tube 4 with a sounding-arm 6 swinging in a vertical plane on a pivot 5. An horizontal tone-arm 8, pivoted at 7 to the vertical sound-arm 6, carries on an horizontal pivot 9 the sound-box 11 with stylus 12. A link member 14 with forked end 15 is pivoted at 16 to the tone-arm 8, and at 13 to the fixed sound-arm 4. The positions of the pivots 13, 16 and the lengths of the sound-arms 6, 8 have to be determined so that the pivot 9 does not rise or fall in its traverse. This device may be applied to gramophones having horizontally-swinging tone-arms.

Patent GB-191129125-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in or relating to Labelling Devices for Packing Machines.
Inventor: HESSER OTTO
Filed: 1911-05-10
Granted: 1912-04-18
Abstract: 29,125. Hesser, O. May 10. Labelling. - In labelling attachments for packing-machines of the type in which the labels are fed by a rising and falling adhesive separator, special devices are provided for feeding and affixing the labels, and for preventing the feeding thereof if a charged packet is not in position. The separator 87, Figs. 1 and 2, is revoluble on a pin 88 carried by a slide 89, and is rocked by a pinion 92 on the pin 88. This engages with a toothed segment 93, which is rocked upon its shaft 94 by a rod 96 reciprocated from the driving-shaft H<3>. When the separator is in the position c, d, Fig. 1, it receives adhesive from a roller 101 which is raised from a rotating supply-roller 99 by means nf a rod 102, a lever 104 pivoted to the machine frame at 295, and a cam 297 on the shaft H<3>. It is then turned into the position shown in Fig. 2, and is lowered by the slide 89 and a rod 90 on to the labels in the holder 97. The separator is then raised to lift a label and to bring the pinion 92 into gear with the segment 93, which turns the separator through a halfrevolution. The gummed label is then seized by tongs 109, 110 carried by a slide 82 which is reciprocated by a link 84, and the tongs remain stationary while the separator returns to the position c, d, thus facilitating the stripping of the label from the separator. The pivoted jaw 109 is momentarily opened to seize the label by an offset roller 107 engaging with an adjustable stop 108, pivoted to a bar 486 which also carries a support 487 for the slide 82. When the tongs have carried a label above a packet in a travelling receptacle 200 of the packing-machine, the top jaw is rocked to release the label by a stop 111. A vertically-reciprocated feeler 120, carried by a lever 121 which is pivoted at 122 and is rocked by a rod 124 and spring 401, enters a recess in the receptacle 200, and if no packet or an uncharged packet is present it rises to its full limit and the lever 121 rocks a catch 127, which is pivoted at 126, into the path of a notch 405 in the slide 89, thereby preventing this from bringing the separator 87 into contact with the labels. A flexible stamper 70 for pressing the labels on the packets is carried by a vertically-reciprocating cross-head 393, Figs. 1 and 3, and a subsidiary presser 80, projecting from and sliding in the presser 70 against the action of a spring 399, contacts with the label first to hold it before the presser 70 comes into action. A freely-sliding presser-foot 420 holds the top of the packet while a label is being affixed.

The lower part f, Figs. 1 and 2, of the tool carries on a pivot-pin h two cheeks g having their ends pressed apart by a spring i so that their front claws grip the base of the pin e which rests on the tool f, the front claws being pressed upwards on account of the oblique cross-section of the tool f. When the pin e is coiled, the pressure of the part a causes the cheeks to move down and outwards to release the fastened button. In a modification, Fig. 8, two cheeks g grip the shank of the pin e resting on the tool part f and are pivoted on two pins m, their ends being acted on by a spring i. The pin e is released from the cheeks by the approach of the tool-parts a, f.
