Patent GB-191110337-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in Machines for Printing Addresses on Wrappers and for Analogous Purposes.
Inventor: CRABB ALFRED PHILLIPS
IPC: B41L47/24
Filed: 1911-04-28
Granted: 1912-02-15
Abstract: 10,337. Crabb, A. P., and Battey, A. P. April 28. Sheet-registering devices; sheet forwarders.- Sheets such as wrappers &c. are fed through an addressing - machine by continuously moving tapes 1, against which the sheets are pressed by rows of steel balls in slotted tubes 19. The sheets are held in the right position for printing by adjustable cam-operated stops 26, a second set being sometimes used to arrest the sheet which comes next after the one to be printed. The sheets may be fed against the second stops and on to the tapes 1, either by hand, or by a set of grippers 66, 69 on a sliding frame 65 operated by a chain 70. The tapes 1 are tensioned by a spring 16 and driven by a cord 2, the returning portion running in grooves formed in the table and covered by steel strips. The slotted tubes 19 are mounted in a frame carried by pivoted arms 21, 21, 61, so that it can be swung up out of the way when the forwarding- devices are not being used. These arms also carry adjustably the sliding rods 27 on which are the brackets 28 supporting the shafts 30 carrying the first set cf stops 26. The shaft 30 is operated through links 53, a shaft 51, lever 50, and a bar 49, which gets its motion at the correct time from a cam 33 through a rod 35. The second set of stops 26 are fixed on a shaft 29 pivoted in a second set of brackets 28 attached to the rods 27 and are operated in a similar manner to the first set by a cam 34 and lever 44. The lower jaws 69 of the grippers on the carriage 65 are actuated at the ends of their travel by cams 77, 80. The cam 80 opens the grippers by engaging the lever arms 75. After the sheet has been inserted in the grippers, the cam 80 is released by a pawl 78, so that it can fly back and allow the grippers to close on the sheet. The frame 65 slides on bars 64 mounted on the same pivoted frame as the stops &c. The inner ends of the bars 64 rest on supports 85, which are lifted at the end of the inward stroke of the frame 65 so as to allow the grippers 69 to return above the sheet. This is done by stops on the chain 70, which is actuated preferably by a crank on the shaft 32 and a spring operating at the other end of the chain.

Abstract: 18,602. Spõngler, L. Nov. 2, 1912, [Convention date]. Carriages; tramcars; floors and roofs.-Doubledecked railway or street cars and omnibuses are constructed with transverse back-to-back seats arranged so that the transverse passages between the seats of one deck are respectively above or below the seats of the other deck, the floor under the upper seats being cut away. Fig. 1 shows a railway or street car with seats 6 on the upper deck arranged over passages between seats 5 on the lower deck. The transverse passages lead into longitudinal passages 2, 9 at opposite sides, the floor above the passage 2 being raised, preferably by providing longitudinal seats at that side connecting the transverse seats. Similar seats may be provided under the passage 9. Stairs 3 are provided at the ends of the car, and the wheels may be arranged under the lower seats. In the car shown in Fig. 2, the seats 5, 6 of the end portions are arranged as in Fig. 1, but the seats of the central depressed portion of the lower deck may be arranged longitudinally. Doors may be provided at both sides of the central portion. The lower longitudinal passage may be at the same side throughout the car, or at one side in one half and at the other side in the other half of the car, and is provided with a step 4 leading from the centre to the end portions, from which further steps 4<1> lead to the platform 10 and stairs 3, the height of the step 4 being reduced by sloping the end portions of flooring.
