Granted: 1914-06-11
Abstract: 26,179. Elliott, S. Nov. 14. Coating webs.-Relates to a machine for making stencils which consist of a sheet of paper secured by adhesive between the folds of a punched-out frame strip. The frame strip is punched, coated with adhesive, and folded round the paper strip, the stencil sheet is cut, and the detached stencils stacked on a table. The strip 25 of paper for forming the frame of the stencil is drawn from a roll 26 by steel rollers 30, 33, the lower of which is plain, while the upper one is provided with cutting-blades for cutting-out the strip, as shown in Fig. 9, and a rib for centrally scoring the strip. The punched strip passes over a roller 70 and beneath an adjustable resilient finger 73 to a device for applying adhesive to the underside. The roller 80 dips into a vessel 81, which may be supplied from a container 106 and which rests on a block 105, by removing which the vessel 81 can be lowered and taken out of the machine. The upper roll 85 is grooved centrally, to reduce its contact surface to a minimum, and is mounted in arms 86 pivoted at 87 and carrying set-screws 88 for adjusting the position of the roll 85. One of the arms 86 carries a lever 91, which, when it is desired to raise the roll 85 out of action, can be turned into engagement with the shaft 100 of a roller 139. When the machine is re-started, the rotation of this roller throws the lever over and lowers the roller 85 into position. The roll 85 is cleaned by a pad 95, which is carried by pivoted arms 96 and supplied with alcohol or other solvent from a pipe 98. During normal operation, the roller 80 is driven by gearing from the main -motor 122; but to prevent the adhesive from setting on the roller when the machine is stopped, the roller may be connected to an auxiliary motor 134 by moving the gear 110 thereon axially into engagement with a gear 125. After leaving the gluing-mechanism, the strip is doubled over the centre strip 135, drawn from a roll 136, and passed between vertical rollers 145, driven by gearing from the shaft 151 and pressed together by springs.

Patent GB-191407266-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in Electrical Burglar Alarms.
Inventor: ZEHDEN ALFRED
IPC: G08B13/22
Filed: 1914-03-23
Granted: 1915-06-17
Abstract: 7266. Zehden, A. March 25, 1913, [Convention date]. Burglar alarms.-Relates to burglar alarms of the kind in which a resistance which normally carries current is short-circuited through contacts closed by the burglar, and consists in the use of a mesh of resistances connected to the alarm circuit at points of several different potentials, in order that the burglar may not be able to render the device inoperative by cutting the wires and bridging the circuit with a substituted resistance to keep the current normal. In the form shown in Fig. 2, a mesh w at the point of danger is arranged in parallel with a mesh f and with contacts o. Neither mesh is balanced, but the resistances are so arranged that, when the meshes are in parallel, no current flows in the relay g. Any tampering with the line-wires, however, causes a disturbance of potential which effects the relay and so operates the bell h. A second bell h<1> may be connected directly in the battery circuits. If the strength of the battery e falls below a certain value, the armature q of a magnet p releases a mechanical alarm r. In a modification, the leads a, b, c, d may be connected to different points of a battery or to the terminals of two separate batteries. They may control two differential relays and be taken to various junctions of two interconnectcd six-wire meshes, arranged at two different points. In a further modification, the mesh w forms one arm of a wheatstone bridge, polarization cells being connected at its four corners. A microphone is shunted on the mesh and varies the currents in the circuits when affected by noises made by the burglar. The leads a, b, c, d may be inductively coupled so that a sudden disturbance in one wire may be communicated to the next. The resistances w may be hot-wire resistances, adapted to intensify changes of current in their circuits. The apparatus then gives a momentary signal when set, thus indicating that it is in good order. The place of the battery may be taken by a polyphase generating system.

Title: Improvements in Interdeck Davits.
Inventor: TJADER RICHARD
IPC: B63B23/18
Filed: 1914-04-14
Granted: 1914-09-10
Abstract: 9234. Tjader, R. April 14. Davits.-An interdeck davit construction comprises a pair of channel beams 23 secured to the deck above and serving as guides for carriages 24 connected by a framework 29. The carriages are provided with antifriction rollers to relieve the friction between the sides and bottom of the carriage and the beams 23. The boats are supported from the carriage by the fall blocks 31 and chains 30, the fall blocks being provided with h o o k s 32 normally positively supported from the carriage by spring-controlled keepers 33. The falls 40 are led back along the carriage to a pulley 47, then forward over a fixed pulley 48, and then over another pulley 49 to a drum 50. The initial winding of the drum therefore transports the carriage to its outboard position. The carriage is additionally supported in this position by hinged extensions 60, which are normally folded to the ship's side. When the carriage moves outboards, pairs of bars 65 release lever catches and allow the extensions to swing into alinement with the guides 23. When the boat is fully outboard, the keepers 33 are retracted by a hand-lever 52, or automatically by the stops 53 on the keeper arms coming into contact with lugs 54. By unwinding the falls, the boat is lowered to the water. In getting a boat inboard, the carriage is retained in its outboard position by a spring-controlled stud 55 taking into one of a series of notches 56 in the channel guides. The falls are thrown off the pulleys 48 so that the carriages are brought inboard when the boat is fully raised. The drum 50 is driven by an electric motor, and arrangements are made for automatically stopping the motor when the carriage reaches the end of its movement in either direction.
