Abstract: 20,363. Neumann, F. E. F. Sept. 16, 1910, [Convention date]. Roller machines.-Chocolate or other liquid or semi-liquid substances are mixed or refined by means of roller machines of the edge-runner and pan type in which several sets of rollers are placed in communicating pans, so that the material can pass freely from pan to pan. The rollers g are mounted in cranks k attached to vertical spindles h and work over pans a, b, c communicating as shown in Fig. 2 and with walls formed as shown in Fig. 1. Arms l on the spindle h carry scrapers m, o. and by reversing the motion the scrapers are caused to drive the material out through outlets t.

Granted: 1913-03-27
Abstract: 16,045. Marks, E. C. R., [Columbia Postal Supply Co.]. July 9. Postmarking- machines; tripping and like arrangements. - In a postmarking-machine, the printing-wheel 31 is normally held from rotation by a letter-operatecl stop - lever 37, mounted on the printing - wheel, and engaging a fixed stop 33 preferably on the fixed spindle of the printing - wheel. The letters 3 are fed from a revolving horizontal table 10 by a band 15 and a friction separating-wheel 17, co-operating with a holding-device 8 for all but the first letter, to the printing-devices, and are stacked by a rotary stacker 47 against a follower 49 pivoted to a lever. The spindle of the roller 31 is mounted on a spring-pressed arm 28, and carries beneath the roller 31 a driving-wheel contantly rotated by frictional contact with the belt 15. The stop 33 is formed as a snail-cam, with a notched portion at the lowest part, in which the end 39 of the lever 37 normally rests under spring action. When a letter is fed, it engages the feeler 42 pivotally mounted on the lever 37, and releases the end 39, so that the roller 31 may be frictionally revolved by the driving-wheel beneath it. At the completion of one revolution, the roller 31 is stopped with the printing-devices in correct position to commence on the next letter, and if the first letter has not completely passed, the feeler 42 can be pressed back by it against the action of a spring 43. A stop on the lever 37 limits the outward motion of the feeler 42. The band 15 drives the separating-wheel 17, impression roller 22, and stacker 47.

Abstract: 10,571. Wood, A. May 5. Coating webs. - In a machine . for coating fabrics with rubber &c. of the type comprising a roller a and gauge c between which the fabric b passes, and side plates h for retaining the rubber &c. in position, means are provided for automatically adjusting the plates h in accordance with variations in the feed of the fabric. Two carriages i are slidably mounted in the gauge c and carry adjustable angle-hrackets n, to which the plates hare bolted. A rocking shaft t is mounted in a tubular bearing in each carriage i and carries at one end a crank u and at the other end a pawl v with two horns v<1>, v<2>, one of which is bent out of line with the other. A rod x carrying a plate 5 in contact with the edge of the fabric is pivoted at y on the carriage and engages at its upper end a pin 4 on the crank u. A spring 6 presses the horn v<2> on the pawl v upwards, thus forcing the plate 5 into contact with the edge of the fabric. Two racks 7, 8, fastened together, are mounted on the gauge c and are each provided with two sets of teeth, those on the rack 7 pointing towards the ends and adapted to. be engaged by the horns v<1>, those on the rack 8 pointed towards the middle, and adapted to be engaged by the horns v<2>. The racks are reciprocated by the gear-wheel 10 through links 11, 12, 9. When the fabric moves out of contact with either plate 5, the horn v<2> is forced by the spring 6 into engagement with the rack 8, and the carriage i is moved inwards until the plate 5 again engages the fabric. The lateral displacement of the fabric forces the other plate 5 outwards, and thus brings the horn v<1> into engagement with the rack 7, whereby the other carriage i is moved outwards. The box-roll f from which the fabric is drawn may be covered with partly perforated steel ribbon 14 to prevent the fabric from sliding on the surface.
