Granted: 1907-02-14
Abstract: 14,562. Kornicer, J. June 26. Belt and band fastenings; belts and bands.- In connecting together the ends of a driving - belt, the ends are stamped out to form flaps a, a<1>, Fig. 1, so that they exactly fit into one another, and may be fixed together by glueing, riveting, &c. The machine for stamping out the flaps comprises a cutting-tool f, Figs. 3 and 4, mounted on a plunger g sliding in a carriage h, and actuated by a lever o. The carriage is supported by sleeves k, l sliding on axles i, and may be longitudinally displaced by means of a screw m. The axles i, j and the screw m are supported by a frame q mounted on the base r. The cutting-tool is composed of two knives f, f<1>, Fig. 6, mounted between guide-pieces u, u<1>, u<2> and screwed together as shown. The tool is fixed to a disk t having a projection v adapted to fit a longitudinal groove in the plunger for centring, and the disk is fixed by screws w to the end of the plunger. Two mark lines are provided on the plate r for adjusting the belts according to their width. The ends of the driving-belt are placed one upon the other on the plate r, as shown in Fig. 4, the lefthand edge coinciding with a mark line and the lower end resting against a bar r<1>. The cutting- tool is pressed down by the lever o, raised, displaced through the width 'of one flap, and the operation repeated. Specification No. 836, A.D. 1881, is referred to.

Title: Improvements in Machines for Manufacturing Paper Bags and the like.
Inventor: JENSEN BERNHARDT JOHAN
Filed: 1906-08-04
Granted: 1906-10-04
Abstract: 17,657. Jensen, B. J. Aug. 7, 1905, [date appliedfor under Patents Act, 1901]. Paper bags.-In a machine for making paper bags of the kind shown in Figs. 13 and 15, each - bag-blank, after being folded along the line z, is caught by one of a number of pairs of gripping- plates mounted either upon a uniformly-rotating shaft or upon a uniformly-moving endless band. The gripping-plates carry the blanks past mechanism for glueing and folding the flaps 3, 41. The blank to be operated upon is pressed between the rollers x, Figs. 1 and 2, by the creasing-blade 1, and is thus folded double along the line z, Fig. 13. It then falls between one of the pairs, of grippers q, r until it rests upon the adjustable stop 2. As the shaft h rotates, the cam-operated grippers q, r close upon the blank, the flaps 3, 41, Fig. 13, projecting beyond the edges of the grippers. The flap 3 is glued by the rotating blade 5, which receives glue from the roller 6, and the flap is then creased by a pivoted oscillating creaser 10 acting in conjunction with an oscillating comb 31 adapted to serve as a creasing- bed. Mounted upon the same shaft as the creaser 10 is a spring-pressed comb 15, which engages with the blank just before the creaser 10 comes into operation. The flap 3 is turned down upon the body of the bag by a row of fingers 19 mounted on the oscillating shaft 20. The folded flap is held in place by pivoted fingers 26 operated by the fixed cam 29. The further rotation of the shaft h carries the blank past mechanism which glues the flap 41 in a manner similar to that already described with reference to the flap 3. The flap 41 is then creased by a pivoted swinging plate 44, Fig. 12, which carries a retaining-comb 45 similar to the comb 15 and engages with a fixed comb 51 forming the creasing-bed. The flap 41 is turned in by the swinging fingers 46, and is held in place by fingers 47 similar to the fingers 26. When the bag reaches the bottom of the machine, the grippers q, r open and allow it to fall from the machine.

Patent GB-190708167-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in Safety Brake Mechanism for Mine Cages, and Skips, Lifts and the like.
Inventor: NEWMAN ALFRED MORLEY
Filed: 1907-04-08
Granted: 1907-08-22
Abstract: 8167. Newman, A. M. April 8. Safety suspending-apparatus.-Safety mechanism for mine cages, lifts, &c., is designed, in case of accident to the hauling- rope, to retard and finally stop the cage without seriously injuring the shaft timbers and without subjecting the occupants to violent shocks. Spring- actuated levers are released when the hauling- rope breaks, and revoluble toothed wheels at their extremities are brought into contact with specially provided shaft timbers. The continued descent of the cage forces these wheels more deeply into the timbers and brings the cage to rest. Buffer springs are provided to minimize shock to the occupants. The levers 9, of which there are two pairs pivoted on a common axle 10, are held in position against the pull of the springs 30 by the tension of ropes 17 attached to the main rope. The toothed wheels 13, 26 are mounted on the shafts 12, 24, which connect the ends of the levers 9. The lower ends of the ropes 27 are wound around the shafts 24 and their upper ends are loosely connected to the shafts 12. When the main rope breaks, the springs 30 act on the levers and force the toothed wheels against the shaft timbers 4. The toothed wheels 26 revolve and thereby wind the ropes 27 on to the shafts 26. This brings the ends of the levers closer together and forces the toothed wheels more deeply into the shaft timbers. The cage 2 is then suspended from the toothed wheels 12 by the rods 22. On these rods, where they pass through the cage, are spiral springs, and underneath the cage are bow-springs, all of which are compressed when the cage is suspended from the rods so that the shock is reduced. Guide-plates 19, 25 come into use with the safety apparatus to ensure that the toothed wheels engage with the shaft timbers 4.

Title: Improvements in Mechanical Targets
Inventor: HABERSBRUNER EDUARD
Filed: 1907-04-25
Granted: 1907-10-31
Abstract: 9676. Habersbruner, E., and St÷cker, J. April 25. Targets.-A. front penetrable target c and a rear impact target d are secured to arms or frames b which are hinged at e and connected together in a parallel position by a spring plate i engaging with plates l, n fixed to the arms carrying the targets d, c, respectively. When a target is struck, a notch in the plate l is moved clear of the locking- plate i, which is raised by a spring k against the plate l and a projection on the arms b, causing both targets c, d to fall outwards out of sight, as shown in dotted lines in Fig. 2. A number of double targets can be moved to appear or disappear simultaneously on pivots o by levers s operated from a bullet-proof shelter by a rod x, chain, or the like. Bent cross-bars u, v at the upper end of the lever s engage with lugs w fixed to the arms b, and stops p and side guides y limit the movement of the arms. The pivot o on which the lever s is mounted passes through two fixed bearing-blocks g, bent leaves q of the hinges e, and frictional gripping-plates r, which prevent accidental disappearance or side movement of the targets. To imitate actual fighting, targets which have been struck and thrown down are not acted on by the levers s and remain out of action. Fig. 10 shows a modified form of locking-catch i with projections l, m which engage with a bevelled recessed piece z fixed to the rear target d and an eye lug n fixed to the front target e. When the target d is struck by a shot, it turns on the hinge e until the piece z is disengaged from the projection l. The catch i is then turned by a coiled spring k and forces the targets outwards.
