Title: An Improved Foot Check for Platen Printing Machines.
Inventor: SHIPMAN HORACE ALFRED
IPC: B41F1/54
Filed: 1909-09-17
Granted: 1910-06-30
Abstract: 21,304. Shipman, H. A. Sept. 17. Tripping-arrangements for platen presses. Relates to the tripping-mechanism of gripper-fed platen presses, and consists in means whereby the machine may be tripped by the foot instead of the hand. In the 'Falcon' platen press, the impression is thrown off by a pawl f pivoted on a bolt g, adapted to engage a shoulder c on the reciprocating rod a. The pawl f is normally held clear of the shoulder c by being weighted at its rear end, but is depressed to trip the impression by a hand-lever h pivoted on the fulcrum g and having an abutment i adapted to rest on a projection j on the pawl. The rear end of the pawl is slotted to work over a bolt l, and is covered by a guard m to prevent accidental operation. In order to enable the macbine to be tripped by the foot, a vertical rod r, terminating in a crutch t, is normally held raised in engagement with the lever h by a weighted treadle. The impression is thrown-on by depressing the treadle. The rod r may be arranged to operate directly on the pawl f, the hand-lever h being dispensed with.

Abstract: 25,269. Ross, J. Nov. 2. Transferring articles and persons to or from trains in motion.-Receptacles containing passengers, baggage, mail, &c. are automatically exchanged between moving trains and the track. The car, Fig. 6, comprises a central corridor 13 and compartments, with doors 14 and open sides, in which the receptacles 12 having rounded ends and doors 18 are placed. The platform receptacles are held in place by yokes 27, which are rotated about shafts 28, through the connexions shown in Fig. 5, when a lever 35 is struck by a projection 36 on the car. The apparatus may be put out of action by sliding back the plate 30 which carries part of the linkage. The car receptacles are similarly carried, and are ejected when the lever 20 governing the yokes 15 strikes a projection 25 on the platform. Premature outward movement of the car receptacle is prevented by means of a pivoted link which drops out of the way when the lever 20 is moved. To secure correct alinement of the apparatus, a groove 39 on the car is adapted to be engaged by a tongue 38 on the platform. When working as shown in Fig. 1, the car receptacle is first ejected, leaving the car yokes ready to receive the platform receptacle.
