Abstract: 5606. Scholes, J., Wolstenholme, C., and Barton, R. J. March 7. Delivery apparatus.-Platen presses having gravity-operated appliances of the type described in Specification 17,919/08 are provided with devices which do not permit the operation of a sheet-lifting finger, counter, or the like, when the impression is thrown off, but which permit the said operation to be effected by the gravity-operated appliances after the completion of an impression. The rock-shaft B, carrying the lifting-finger C is provided with a weight D, which raises the finger to lift the sheet E when the platen has swung through a certain angle. After the completion of the outward stroke, the weight is restored to, and held in, its original position until the impression takes place by the bell-crank lever F<2> engaging the side of the weight D. The levers F, F<1>, F<2> are held in one of two positions by a spring-controlled arm which is strong enough to resist the action of the weight, but which is not strong enough to retain the levers in position against the pressure of the stops O, J. The levers are moved into the weight-free position shown in Fig. 2 by a roller M on the lever F<1> engaging a stop J at the end of the inward stroke. In this position the bell-crank lever F<2> is not in contact with the weight D, which is free to operate the finger. At the end of the outward stroke, the levers are moved into the reverse position, and the weight is raised as shown in Fig. 3 by the link F engaging a stop or moving member O. The weight D has preferably an automatic locking-device attached to it consisting of an eccentrically pivoted disk P. When an impression has been made, the member I of the link F<2> is in the position shown in Fig. 2 ready to operate the counterweighted rock-shaft K<1> of the counter but, when no impression has been made, it is moved to the position shown in Fig. 3 so that it cannot operate the counter. In a modification, the levers F, F<1> are replaced by a sliding bar. A screw with a cone-shaped head T may be provided to limit the swinging movement of the rock-shaft weight.

Granted: 1911-03-23
Abstract: 18,785. Herzog, E. Aug. 13, 1909, [Convention date]. Cops and like packages, treating.-A machine for inserting spindles into cops preparatory to boiling, bleaching, &c. comprises two corrugated cylinders, or endless paternoster chain links which carry the cops and spindles respectively and are operated automatically to bring them into juxtaposition, the spindles then being inserted by a cam-operated bolt. The cops and spindles are fed from separate inclined oscillating tables to cylinders 4, 5 respectively, which are intermittently rotated through an angle corresponding to the interval separating the channels containing the cops and spindles. The cops are pressed between a cavity 33, on an adjustable bolt 32, Fig. 6, operated by a cam-actuated lever 35, and another cavity in a central guide-plate 9, and the spindles are passed through spring- pressed jaws in the guide-plate into the cop by a bolt secured to a cross-head 46 operated by a cam-actuated lever 50. The lever 50 is mounted loosely on its shaft, and is connected therewith by means of a spring, so that, in the event of an obstruction in the cop, the lever may yield. In order that the cop may be ejected from the cavity 33, a displaceable spring-pressed bolt 70 disposed therein engages an adjustable stop, when the bolt or sleeve 32 is withdrawn, and is moved relatively to the apex of the cavity 33. Should there be no cop in the cop channel, the spindle is pressed against a spring bolt 75, which rejects the spindle when the cross-head recedes. The channel in which the spindle to be inserted is located is covered by a plate. Adjustable flaps are arranged on the feed-tables to permit the cops and spindles to pass to the conveyers singly; should more than one pass, those not located in the channels are rejected by rotating vane rollers 17.
