Feeding sheets.-Relates to machines for separating and feeding sheets from a pile, and consists of means for throwing the feeding or separating devices out of action at required intervals, such means being controlled hy the sheets themselves. In the arrangement shown, the bank of feathered sheets is fed from a table 1 to the feed-table 2 through a curved throat formed between guides 3 and feed-wheels 4. Endless bands 6 pass over the table 1 and around the feed-wheels 4, returning over guide-rolls 7, 8. The sheets are pressed on to the feed-wheels by rolls 5. The sheets on the table 2 are acted upon by combing-rollers 10, one at each side of the pile, which advance the front edge of the top sheet to the forwarding-rolls 11, 12. The rolls 12 are on a constantly-rotating shaft 14 raised and lowered at proper intervals by arms operated by arms on a shaft 16 operated by a cam. Each combing-roll 10 is independently thrown out of action as follows :- When the sheet reaches the rolls 11, 12, it actuates a finger 51<1> which releases an arm 52 fixed to a shaft 50 on which is an arm that rocks a shaft at the side of the machine extending to the combing- apparatus. On this shaft is an arm which releases a latch arrangement by which the combing-roll 10 is held in operation. This latch releases a slide which is then moved by a spring and rocks a shaft 26 mounted in arms 28 pivoted at 29 to the side frame. The shaft 26 is connected to the shaft 23<1> of the roll 10 by toggle arms. The shaft 23<1> is mounted in an arm 24 pivoted to the frame at 25. Hung on the shaft 26 and guided by the shaft 23<1> is a clamp 30. This clamp is lowered on to the pile, and the rolls 10 lifted when the shaft 26 is rocked by the release of the slide. The slide is moved back into operative position by a cam on the shaft 32. The arm 52 &c. are returned to position or re-set by an arrangement operated from the shaft 16. The end of the trip finger 51<1> preferably rests in grooves in a roller. The finger 51<1> is pivoted on a block 62 secured to a shaft 57. A modification is described in which the slide is released by breaking a toggle such toggle being broken by an arm connected by a rod to a tripping-arrangement operated by the tripping-finger.

Title: Improvements in the Working of Induction Coils and other Apparatus with Alternating or Pulsating Currents.
Inventor: NEWTON HERBERT CHARLES
Filed: 1901-05-13
Granted: 1902-05-01
Abstract: 9925. Newton, H. C., and Wright, R. S. May 13. R÷ntgen-ray apparatus.-Relates to means for working induction coils, motors, &c., from an alternating current. In certain cases, as in Runtgen-ray work, when it is desired to obtain a discharge in one direction only, the alternating current is interrupted in such a manner that an intermittent direct current is obtained for operating an induction coil. This may be carried out by means of a synchronous motor which is adapted to make and break the current at the desired moment. By suitably adjusting the motor and resistances in the motor circuit, the motor may be run synchronously or in suitable relation to the period of the current. The induction coils to be worked may be in a shunt circuit, which is interrupted as desired. Fig. 6 shows the application to obtain stereoscopic effects with the Rontgen rays, two tubes 33 being employed and the screen 34 viewed through slots in a rotating shutter 32. When it is desired to work synchronous motors from a continuous current supply, the motor is arranged in a shunt circuit connected up with the interrupter of an induction coil, or the interrupter may carry two contacts, one for breaking the circuit of the induction coil and the other the circuit of the motor.
