Granted: 1905-12-13
Abstract: 27,210. Kessler, E. Dec. 13. Printing fabrics.-Relates to apparatus for marking measurements on fabrics. The fabric is fed between a roller 2, Fig. 4, and a drum 1, which is splined on a shaft 4 carried in adjustable bearings. A stationary cam 6, Fig. 2, is mounted on the shaft 4, its hub being carried by arms 7 on a shaft 8 having adjustable bearings 36. The usual ratchet-worked type-wheels 11, 12 are carried on the outer ends of arms 10, on loops 9 surrounding the cams 6, and are depressed through an aperture in the drum by the action of the cams, when the type-wheels are in their lowest position, in order to print an impression. There may be two separate devices, situated at diametrically-opposite points of the drum, to print yards and half - yards respectively. Each inking-device, consisting of a layer 19, Fig. 5, of felt communicating with the colour 21, is mounted on arms 22, pivoted on arms 23 rotating with the drum, and provided with slots 29 in which fit the shafts 28 of the type - wheels. A wheel 26 fixed to one of the arms 22 gears with a rack 27 fixed to one of the arms 10, so that the wheel rotates on its axis as the drum revolves and swings the inking-pad intermittently over the type. A device comprising handles 50 and wheels is provided for turning the type-discs to zero position, when starting measuring a new length of fabric. The bearings 36, 37 are adjusted in height, during the introduction of the fabrics, by bevel gearing 34, 38 actuated by a handle 35. In modifications, the lower roller is dispensed with, a table being used with a slot 47, Fig. 7, for a small roller 45. The cam 6 is carried on an arm 46, which may be prevented from turning by the slot 47 and by having its end forked to fit on a shaft 61 or otherwise. A method by which the shaft carrying the roller. 45 is spring-mounted is described, and also means for adjusting the height of the shaft 4 and driving the machine.

Electro-magnets.-A solenoid for producing two effects, one of which follows and is magnetically dependent upon the other, has a movable core in each end, and one of the cores is loaded so as not to move till the pull is increased by the moving in of the other core. Fig. 2 shows an application of two such solenoids C', C<2> for starting a motor M in either direction. The solenoids are connected to a pilot switch P, by which either of them may he energized, to move a cord A<1>, A<2> in one direction or the other. The movement of the core A<1>, A <2> operates a reversing-switch S, and enables one of two cores B', B<2> in the outer ends of the solenoids C<1>, C<2> to operate a switch S' or S<2>, these two switches being electrically connected in parallel, or mechanically connected, so that when either of them is operated, a shunt circuit is closed through a third solenoid C<3> . The solenoid C<3> has two concentric cores, of which the outer one closes a main-circuit switch S<3>, the inner one continuing its motion under the retarding action of a dash-pot D until it has cut out a starting-resistance R. When current is cut off at the switch P, the cores and switches return by gravity or otherwise to their original positions. This is optional for the reversing-switch S. Means may be provided to prevent the solenoids C', C<2> from being re-energized till the resistance R is completely in circuit again.
