Title: Improvements in or relating to Control Mechanism for Type Casting and Composing Machines.
Inventor: BANCROFT JOHN SELLERS
IPC: B41B27/10
Filed: 1911-04-04
Granted: 1911-09-07
Abstract: 8417. Bancroft, J. S., and Indahl, M. C. Feb. 3, [Convention date]. Metal-pumps. - In strip-controlled single - type casting-machines such as are described in Specification 8633/99, the pump-stop device for preventing the casting of incorrect matter registered on the strip is controlled by special signals made from the components of the justification-signal. The device is described as forming part of the sectional-line justification apparatus described in Specification 8737/02, comprising a galleytrip 3 and a pump-latch 5 which are operated by members 1, 2, these being respectively under the control of the designating-perforations A, B of the justification-signal. The members 1, 2 engage a lever 12 pivoted on a head 15, which is secured to a rod 10 and engages a lever 13, which is coupled to a rod 8. The movement of the head 15 by one of the members 1, 2 is sufficient to move the rod 8 to disconnect the pump, but is not sufficient to move the rod 10 far enough to operate the galley-trip 3; when, however, both members 1, 2 are operated, the head 15 is moved sufficiently to operate both the galley-trip and the pump-latch. According to the present invention, the head 15 is provided with a latch 20 adapted to engage a fixed stop 22, the arrangement being such that, when the lever 2 is operated, the head 15 carries the latch into engagement with the stop 22, the latch being released when the member 1 is operated either alone or in conjunction with the member 2. When it is desired to cancel the whole or part of a line, the matter to be cancelled is terminated by the perforation B and the composition is then continued. As the strip is fed into the casting-machine, the perforation B is presented in advance of the matter to be cancelled and the latch 20 advances to lock out the pump-mechanism. The matter to be cancelled is followed by the justification signal of the succeeding matter, this signal containing two components, the first presented containing for full-line justification the signals A, B, and for sectional-line justification, the signal B, and the second component containing the perforation A. When the perforation A is presented either alone or with the perforation B, the latch 20 is released and the pump - mechanism. is restored.

Abstract: 1927. Bigge, H. F., and Butt, F. R. July 10. Electro - magnetic switches. - Relates to switches for automatically connecting and disconnecting storage batteries and dynamos, of the kind in which an electro-magnet normally connected through a resistance across the dynamo operates first to close the dynamobattery circuit and then to break the shunt circuit. According to the invention, two independent contact-making arms e, f are actuated by projections d, d<1> on the armature b of the electro-magnet a. When no current is flowing through the coil a, the armature is in its lowest position, the arm f engages a spring contact f<1>, and no contact is made by the arm c. The connexions are from the dynamo terminal h through resistances g, g<1> to the other terminal i. When sufficient current flows in the winding a, the armature is lifted, and the arm e falls by gravity on to a contact e<2> making connexion through the battery j, and the variable regulating-resistance g<1>, after which the arm f is pulled by the projection d away from the spring- contact f<1>, and the shunt circuit is broken. The parts remain in position as long as the voltage is high enough to charge. When it falls or reverses, the armature is acted on by gravity or springs, and the parts are restored to the position shown. The apparatus is adjusted to the required voltage by weighting the armature, moving it into or out of the solenoid, varying the ampere-turns, or varying the resistance.

Abstract: 2195. Robertson, G. L. Jan. 27. Percussive hand tools; loose tools and bits, retaining.-In a pneumatic hammer of the type having a throttle valve operated by pressure of the tool against the work, the box for the plunger-controlling valve is movable relatively to the barrel. The handle 58 is screwed to the barrel 1 and is locked bv the engagement of a spring-pressed pin 26 with ratchet teeth formed on the barrel. A locking-pin 48, under pressure from a spring 50, adjusted by a serrated screwed cap 54 engaged by a spring-pressed pin 55, normally prevents rearward movement of the throttle valve 39. The pin 48 is released by pressure on the trigger 60, which acts through a sliding link 61 and a bell-crank lever 62; if the tool 7 is then pressed against the work, the bushing 5, rods 43, and throttle valve 39 move against the resistance of a spring 57, and fluid from the inlet 32 is admitted to the valve box 15. At the end of its rearward stroke, the plunger 2 is cushioned by entrapped fluid. This cushioning effect is increased, in order to protect the operator from shock, by arranging the valve box 15, which is provided with a packing-cup 21 and guided by the rods 43, so as to allow it to move rearwards against the resistance of the fluid from the inlet 32. The resulting increased compression of this fluid is stated to give increased effect to the forward stroke of the plunger. A spring clip 9 holds the tool 7 in its bushing 5, and a shield 108 surrounds the exhaust outlet 102. The throttle valve 39 has a passage 70 to prevent compression behind it; by removing the threaded cap 40 lubricant may be admitted through this passage 70 when the tool is at rest without disconnecting from the source of fluid supply. In a modification, the movable valve box is guided by dowels in conjunction with the rods 43.
