Inventor: BADGER JOHN
IPC: E05B65/08
Filed: 1911-11-20
Granted: 1912-08-15
Abstract: 25,826. Badger, J. Nov. 20. Catches, spring.-In a fastening for sliding doors, particularly those of railway carriages, a spring-actuated catch c is mounted on a sliding plate b, guided within a casing on the door, and is raised out of engagement with the striking- plate p, when the plate b is slid back, by means of a roller o on the casing coacting with a camsurface n on the catch. The catch is held in the inoperative position while the door is open by means of a detent f engaging the slide b and is released, when the door is closed, by the auxiliary bolt i. A pin r on the case engaging a slot q in the catch prevents this being raised except by the withdrawal of the slide b. A bolt s actuated by a key-operated follower u serves to lock the catch when desired.

Abstract: 7698. Kennedy, D. March 26. [Cognate Applications, 8098/14 and 11,960/14.] Actuating.-In an automatic piano-player, diaphragm-actuated double-beat valves controlling low and high suction respectively are arranged so that, if both are raised, only low suction is supplied to the striking-pneumatic. One diaphragm may operate a valve in one of the conduits of the other valve, or the valve chamber H<3>, Fig. 9, of the high-suction valve may be connected to the striking-pneumatic S through the release-air inlet of the low-suction valve. To prevent fluttering, the latter valve may be spring-loaded. The low-suction valve is constructed so as to act more quickly than the other. The stem of the low-suction valve may be extended upwards to carry a piston G, Fig. 10, beyond the release-air inlet, so that when high suction is in operation, the piston assists in holding the low-suction valve closed; also the diaphragm of this valve may be in a compartment J<1> connected to high suction. The closing-disks L<4>, F of the same valve may be adjustable on the stem by screwing.

Printing-surfaces; inking - apparatus.-An apparatus for cleaning rollers such as engraved copper printing - rollers comprises a tank to contain the cleaning-liquid, a support for rotating the rollers and raising and lowering them out of and into the liquid, and traversing brushes or scrubbers suspended above the rollers on a movable support. Fig. 2 shows, in transverse section, an apparatus in which the rollers a to be cleaned are supported at each end on friction rollers C on pairs of shafts c in a movable frame B mounted on links b pivoted on a stationary frame E in the bottom of the tank A. The frame B may be raised and lowered by a block F sliding in the frame E and having an incline with friction rollers engaging an incline b<1> on the frame B. The block F is moved by a screw F<1> and hand-wheel f<1>. Back-and-pinion or screw mechanism may be used in place of the inclines for moving the frame B. The shafts c are rotated in unison by a sprocket chain C' and one of them is driven by gearing from a driving-shaft. The brushes or scrubbers D are suspended by telescopic spring connexions d from screw shafts H journaled in a pivoted frame D<1> so that the brushes may be moved away from the rollers. The frame D' is counterbalanced. The shafts H are formed with right and left hand screw grooves, and traverse the brushes to and fro along the rollers a. They are driven by a chain from the driving-pulleys. The driving- pulleys are so arranged that the shafts c only may be driven, or both the shafts c, H. As a modification, cylindrical brushes may be used, mounted to rotate upon and traverse to and fro on the shafts H.
