Abstract: 15,282. Adamson, C. E. July 20, 1907, [date applied for under Section 91 of Patents &c. Act, 1907]. Cylinder machines with plane printing-surfaces ; delivery apparatus ; inking-apparatus ; tripping- arrangements; chases.-A travelling stop-cylinder hand-operated press has devices for holding the type, moving the inking-ribbon, carrying and tripping the impression roller, registering, counting, and delivering the sheets. The rubber-covered impression cylinder 112 is mounted on trunnions running in eccentric bearings having depending arms 111, and frictionally engaged by spring- pressed bearing-blocks 106 adjusted in position by screws and clamping-nuts 108, 109. These bearings are mounted in a travelling-frame comprising side members 99, and a cross member 100 with a handle 102 by which it is reciprocated over the bed 29, the side members 99 having renewable fibre wearing-blocks 104 which slide in grooves 32 at the side of the bed. During its forward stroke the ends of the cylinder 112 engage with springy metal bearers 52 formed of bent metal strip. Rubber stops 35 limit the motion of the carriage. At the end of each reciprocation the arms 111 engage with adjustable stops 114, at each side of the bed, and thus trip or untrip the cylinder. The type is held in a chase comprising a thin but rigid metal bottom 39, end pieces 40, and side pieces 41, 42. The side 42 is spring-pressed outwards by springs at each end, but when in position on the bed 29, small screws bear against it and clamp it against the type, thus holding the chase and type firmly. The,ink ribbon 65 is mounted on two spools 71, the ends of the ribbon being clamped to the spools by a wire 66 passing through the spool at one end as shown at 67, while the other end 69 is sprung into a hole in the spool. The unwinding-spool is laid in a removable trough 59. The winding-up spool is clamped between a spring pressed revoluble stud 73, and a stud 74 carrying a ratchet-wheel 86 actuated by pawls 90 at each reciprocation of the travelling frame through the engagement of a stud on the side piece 99 with the weighted bell-crank lever 87. The bent upper portion 62 of the trough 59, and a similar bent portion 93 on the stop 92 against which the chase is set, prevent the chase from being soiled by the inking-ribbon. The sheets are. taken from a pile on a table supported on one side of the machine, and are laid on the chase against a gauge 53 consisting of a metal strip clamped at one side of the chase, and having a short inturned end. The cylinder 112 is then rolled over to the opposite end, and, as the trip-arms 111 are shifted, a link from one of them turns a shaft 116, and lets down the spring fingers 122 behind the back edge of the sheet. On the return movement of the carriage, the paper is pushed off the forme by the fingers 122, and guided by the removable shield 124 into a drawer 24 in the wooden supporting-base, where it lies right side up. A counter 118 may be operated from the shaft 116.

Granted: 1909-10-07
Abstract: 21,704. Cotton, C. C., King, R., and Kirk, J. B. Oct. 14. No Patent granted (Sealing fee not paid). Heckling - machines ; feeding and transferring flax &c.-Relates to machines having automatic screwing and changing apparatus as described in Specification No. 16,010, A.D. 1901. To prevent entanglement of the fibre in one holder with that in the next holder at the changing-end of the machine, Figs. 1 and 2, the catch-bar 3 is provided with a pivoted lever 1 having a curved slot which engages a fixed pin 6 ; when the bar has neared the end of its forward stroke, the lever is tilted up from the position 1<A> to the position 1 and pushes the holder 5 onwards, so that the fibres therein are transferred to a safe distance from the holder 4, while the fibres in that holder are pulled through in order to present the ends of the fibre, that have not been heckled, to the next machine. When the holder has been screwed down, the catch-bar slides back and the lever returns to its original position 1<A>. To prevent displacement of the holders at the outgoing end of the main channel 9, Figs. 4 and 6, one or more catches 12 are fixed on a rocking shaft 10, carried on the underside of the channel 9, in the way of the holder nuts 13. A lever 18 fixed to the shaft 10 engages with a tumbler 15 pivoted on a bracket 17 attached to the channel 9, and when the channel has completed about three quarters of its lift the tumbler engages with a fixed slide 19 thus lifting the lever 18, rocking the shaft 10, and lowering the catches 12 clear of the nuts 13. When the channel reaches its highest position and the holders are moved along by the catch-bar, the tumbler 15 escapes from the slide 19 and the shaft 10 is caused to return to its original position by a coiled spring 14 or weighted lever or its equivalent, thus lifting the catches in the way of the holder nuts. The angle through which the shaft turns is regulated by an adjustable lever 20 which is stopped by a stud 21 on a bracket 22. According to the Provisional Specification, the arrangement shown in Figs. 1 and 2 is also provided with a lever at the back of the channel, which is centred on a stud attached to the machine framing and is caused to oscillate between the fibres that are being pulled through and the fibres in the adjacent holder.

Abstract: 10,456. Pralon, L. E., Francon, I., and Fournier, G. May 2, 1908, [Convention date.]. Actuating valves. - In an apparatus for distributing electric current, or gas or other fluid, in two different directions, the operation of a distant electric switch sends current to one or the other of two sets of electro-magnets, which attracts in one or the other direction an armature operating the electric contacts or the valves. The armature carries a loose auxiliary contact-piece F, Figs. 1 and 2, which, before the distant switch M is closed, touches one of a pair of contact-springs J, J<1>, respectively connected to the two sets of electro-magnets D, D', and thus makes a path for one of them to be energized. When the armature is attracted from the position shown in Fig. 1, it brings the attached main contact H to the side I<1>, completing an electric circuit along one of the desired directions. When the armature returns to the middle position, it brings the previouslydisplaced loose contact F to the opposite spring J, so that the apparatus is left ready for operation in the opposite direction. Fig. 6 shows two valves N, N<1> operated by the armature rod G.
