Abstract: 14,830. King, J., and Modern Printing Co. Proprietary. Aug. 23,1911, [Convention date]. Ruling machines and appliances.-Consists of a paper-ruling roller or cylinder which may be applied to any ordinary ruling-machine and constructed so as to rule horizontal and vertical lines simultaneously. The roller comprises a rod 1 provided with one or more series of ruling- disks 4 which are cut away at one part to form a groove 9, the width of the margin upon the paper to be ruled. One end of the groove terminates in a slot 10 to receive tightly a longitudinal bar 11 having a ruling-edge 12 and adapted to rule the vertical margin line. Instead of the slot 10, the disks may be cut away to the width of the margin and the bar 11 mounted flush against their sides. The bar 11 may be further secured by means of a wire 13, Fig. 3, passed through the bar and secured to studs 14 on the end disks. The disks 4 are preferably separate from each other and distanced by rings or sleeves 5 and the separate series of disks are spaced by sleeves 5<a> but the disks mav be of sufficient width to have a number of ruling edges or the disks and bar 11 may be formed integral with the rod 1. The bars 11 may extend only to the bottom line as shown or may be prolonged in one or both directions to extend the margin line to the top and bottom of the page, or a single bar may extend along the two series of disks. Additional bars 11 may be provided as shown in Fig. 8 according to the number of vertical lines required. The bars 11 may be provided with one, two, or more ruling-edges. The rod 1 is provided with end extensions 8 to engage the bearings of the ruling-machine. The Specification as open to inspection under Section 91(3)(a) states also that in ruling money-columns where two different-coloured inks are required, the horizontal lines may he ruled by a cylinder provided with disks having continuous ruling-edges and the vertical lines by a second cylinder provided with longitudinal bars. This subject-matter does not appear in the Specification as accepted.

Abstract: 25,030. Universal Automatic Shuttle Changer, Ltd., and Carr, J. W. Nov. 1. Shuttle-changing mechanism of the type described in Specification 10,123/09. When the weftfeeler cross-rod w<2>, Fig. 3, is turned, a rod v is by lever - mechanism w<1>, w<3>, w released from a spring- controlled notched rod u, which then moves outwards and places the loose rear portion i, Figs. 1, 3, and 7, of the shuttle box in position to deflect the exhausted shuttle from the shuttle box, the rod. u, moreover, carrying a slotted bracket u<1> engaged by an arm s<4> loosely mounted on an horizontal spindle s carrying a bunter s<1> for operating the shuttle-transferring mechanism. When the rod u moves outwards, the arm s<4> is turned, and a stop s<7> thereon moves away from a pin s<6> on a spring-controlled collar s<3> fast to the spindle s, which is thereupon turned, thereby lowering the bunter s<1>. A curved finger s<11> on another collar s<9> fixed on the spindle comes into contact with the bottom of the lay, thus limiting the movement of the spindle, but allowing the arm s<4> to continue to move if necessary. When the lay beats up, the bunter actuates a notched arm q pivoted to a broken-back leverp, which actuates a pusher t, whereby the lowest shuttle in the magazine is inserted into the shuttle box between cranked parts e'; e<2> comprising the shuttle-box front, these parts e<1>, e<2> being pivoted at f<1>, f<2>, respectively, and being normally forced into contact with stops h<1>, h<2> by springs g<1>, g<2>. The stud o<3> connecting the parts p, q is normally engaged by a V-shaped recess in a fixed cross-bar o connected by a spring o<2> with the stud o<3>. A small block c' carried by spring arms c normally, prevents escape of the shuttles from the magazine. When the rod u and arm s<4> return to normal position, the stop s<7> engages the pin s<6> and thereby moves the spindle s to normal position.

[Addition to 18,765/10.] Billiards, teaching-appliances for.-Relates to modifications of the devices described in the parent Specification for indicating or determining the path of the cue ball after it has made contact with the object ball. Fig. 1 shows a half-ball guide consisting of a plate a having a slot b and two straight edges c, d. In use, the slotted portion b is pushed under the object ball until the ball is in the position shown in dotted lines, and the plate a is turned until the edge c points to the cue ball. The edge d then indicates the direction of the cue ball after contact with the object ball. Pins may be placed in holes e to assist the player in guiding his eye along the lines c, d. The device shown in Fig. 2 is used to indicate whether the player's aim has been accurate, or by what amount it has departed from accuracy. It consists of an arch x adapted to stand on the table and is provided with two sets of holes y, z from which freely-swinging pins are suspended. Other holes, numbered as shown, for the insertion of pins are formed in a central bar 2, and in curved bars 3, 4 which project from the top portion of the arch. The pins are displaced by the ball and their movement indicates its line of travel.

Granted: 1913-05-01
Abstract: 6354. Saurer, A., [Firm of]. April 3, 1912, [Convention date]. Embroidery machines.-In an automatic embroiderv machine, during the suspension of the embroiding operation when piercing and the like, thread is drawn-off by imparting to the embroidering-parts a reduced to-and-fro motion. For this purpose, the driving-shaft 1, in addition to the usual clutch member 9, carries a crank 3 which engages with a lever 5 and imparts an oscillatory movement to a shaft 6 continually. A lever 7 on the shaft 6 carries a spring-pressed plunger 8. With the parts in the position shown, the machine is driven by the rotation of the main driving-wheel 10, which is also the outer member of the clutch. When the automaton moves the clutch member 10 to the right, it causes the suspension of the rotary movement, but, by the engagement of the plunger 8 with a hole 15, the member 10 receives an oscillatory movement by way of the shaft 6, and this is communicated to the embroiding-parts.
