Granted: 1905-11-16
Abstract: 7392. Good, P., Merewether, F. H. S., and Good, E. A. April 7. Coins, separating. - A sorting-till comprises, as shown in Fig. 1, separate shoots u, 3, 20, for gold, silver, and copper coins respectively, each having gauging-branches over the corresponding set of tubular change receptaclesf, h, o, from the bottoms of which coins may be removed one at a tine by the finger. Between each shoot and its mouthpiece a, b, or c, a rotary coin holder t, 2, or 19, having radial pockets, is provided, and the two outer holders are geared to the middle one, so that all turn together. A ratchet lever 38 at the centre holder is connected by a rod 39 and a cord 45 to a hinged flap in front of the tubular receptacles. A lever 40 with a spring 44 effects the reclosure of the flap. The breadth of the pockets is such as to admit several coins abreast, and during the rotation the smallest coins drop into the shoots first. Should two coins stick together, they are shaken apart by dropping at the bend of the shoot. Coin-handling appliances.-Each tubular receptacle 54, Fig. 4, of a series for coins of different denomination is provided with an inclined spring tongue 53, which makes a coin protrude slightly, when left with no weight of following coins upon it, so that it does not elude extraction by rising inside when fingered.

Title: Improvements in and relating to Machines for Making Paper and like bags.
Inventor: PHILLIPS ROBERT EDWARD
Filed: 1905-06-07
Granted: 1905-08-10
Abstract: 11,937. Phillips, R. E, [Henrichsen & Mohr]. June 7. Paper and like bags. - Relates to folding- mechanism for folding blanks for making paper and like bags. When the blank c has passed through the rollers a. which fold it across the centre, it falls downwards until the centre fold rests upon two adjustable blocks f. As the shaft g carrying the folding blade d turns, the arm h presses on the piece k, and thereby turns the pivoted square shaft m. To this shaft are secured curved pieces n carrying springs p which press on thin metal strips o, connected at their lower ends to the adjusting-screw q. The rotation of the shaft m causes the metal strips o gradually to press the blank against the fixed plate e, thus smoothing out any wrinkles. The strips o retain their hold on the blank until the folding-blade d has caught the blank and pressed it up to the rollers b. At the precise moment that the rollers b seize the blank, the piece k is disengaged from the arm h, and the spring shown causes the shaft m to return sharply to its original position. As the folding-blade d makes its return stroke, the arm h again tilts the shaft m and the mechanism resumes the position shown in the Figure.

Title: Improvements in Plate Printing Machines
Inventor: JUSTICE PHILIP MIDDLETON
Filed: 1905-09-25
Granted: 1906-01-04
Abstract: 19,329. Justice, P. M., ["Long Arm" System Co.]. Sept. 25. Converting rotary into reciprocating motion; belt gearing; clutches.-In printing-machines, a plate-supporting carriage C is mounted to slide on two parallel guide-bars B, and is normally pulled by a weight on the end of the strap C<4> against buffer springs C<5>. A second carriage D for the card or article to be printed also slides on the rods B, and is provided with an adjustable set of grippers D<5> for holding one edge of the card. The carriage D is connected to one end of a strip R<3> passing round a roller R<1> and having its other end connected to a stationary part such as P<1>. The arm carrying the roller R' is pressed by a spring R<3> and draws the carriage D to the right when it is released by the detent arm P<2>, which normally engages a lug d<11> and holds the carriage in its lefthand position. When the carriage is so released and drawn to the right, it is stopped by a buffer spring on the carriage C, with the card in position for printing over the engraved plate, and the carriages are locked together in this position by a spring detent C<11> engaging the lug d". When the two carriages D, C are locked together, they are moved to the left, and the impression is made by the part F<2> of a roller F above a supporting or bed roller E. The shaft F<1> is mounted in spring-raised adjustable bearings, and is driven through a complete revolution each time a treadle is depressed. Connected to the treadle are two rods N<2>, T. The rod N<2> first operates the detent P<2> to release the carriage D, as described, and then releases the detent before the treadle is released. The rod T then operates the clutch, Figs. 16 and 19, to couple the shaft F<1> to the driven wheel. The clutch comprises a toothed part G<2> on the driven wheel and a co-operating. part v on a sleeve V rotating with, but movable on, the shaft. A cam-piece V<1> on the sleeve V is engaged by a lug w<2> on a lever W to disengage the clutch and stop the shaft. The lever W has a cam-ridge W<3> operated by a pin t on the rod T, the pin t being guided by the opening A‹ in the machine frame. As the clutch becomes disengaged by the lug w<2> and cam V<1>, the inertia of the parts completes the revolution and brings the angular recess or shoulder home against the lug w<2>. On the shaft F<1> is a flanged wheel F3 which grips the strap C<4> against a wheel L pressed upwards by a spring-operated bell-crank L' on which the wheel is journaled. On the strap C', where it is gripped by the wheels, is a steel strip c<4>. The motion of the carriages to the left is started by a pin f<3> engaging the lug c<5> on the carriage C, and the strap C<4> is then gripped between the wheels F<3>, and fed until the impression is made after which the flanges on the wheel F<3> release the strap C<4> and permit the carriage to return to the right. The carriage D is meanwhile retained in the left-hand position by the detent P<2>.
