Abstract: 9405. Druitt, P. W., and Gilpin, W. R. April 20. Distributing matrices. -Relates to means for delivering matrices falling from a single distributor into two or more magazines. The matrices are divided into groups equal in number to the magazines by having one or other or both of their upper ears cut away, the matrices so mutilated being supported in their course through the machine by special ribs and notches. All the matrices falling from the distributorbar 5, Fig. 2, are arrested by an oscillating latch 9 which is projected beneath the lower ears of the matrices. When this latch is withdrawn, a second latch 8 is projected into the path of the upper ears on one side of the matrices. Matrices having these ears cut away are not arrested by the latch and fall at once into the magazine 2 into which they are guided by a pivoted gate 12. The matrices of the other group are arrested by the latch and the gate 12 is rocked over so that the matrices, when released, are guided into the other magazine 3. The latches 8, 9 and the gate 12 are oscillated by cams driven from one of the feed-screws 4. For separation of the matrices into three or four groups, one or two additional sets of latches and gates are provided to operate on the matrices after they have passed the first gate 12. When only one magazine is in use, the latches are held out of operation, and the gate is held in position to close the magazine not in use by mechanism operated by a hand-lever. This mechanism is coupled with a pedal-operated mechanism for changing over the escapement-rods, which may be of the kind described in Specification 10,832/11, so that any movement of the pedal brings the separating-mechanism into operation and that the position of the pedal determines which magazine is open to receive matrices. The means for closing one magazine may operate on a change-speed mechanism so as to increase the speed of the distributor as described in the Specification above referred to. A cut-out mechanism for stopping the distributor, operated by one of the screws which is movable lengthways, is brought into operation should the gate 12 fail to reach either of its extreme positions. Escapements.-The means for moving the escapement-rods into engagement with the escapements of either magazine is operated by a pedal.

Title: Improvements in Combined Paper Bag Forming and Packetting Machines.
IPC: B65B1/02
Filed: 1912-09-14
Granted: 1913-09-11
Abstract: 20,959. Day & Sons, J., and Day, C. H. Sept. 14. Paper bags, making. -In a paper-bag forming and packeting machine, the former whereon the bags are made is arranged within an intermittently rotating ring or carrier on which the packeting-boxes are mounted, and the bags after being made are transferred to the boxes in readiness for the filling and closing operations. There may be only one former on the machine. Sheets of paper are fed through a trough 23 to the top of a folding-box, the former 14 descends, or the folding-box ascends, and the bag is made around the former in a manner similar to that described in Specification 7731/02. The carrier x is rotated by an arm 5 and locked in the new position by a wedge 8, a packeting- box 3 having meanwhile been turned by a campath 78 into an horizontal position and presented in front of the former, from which the bag is then transferred to the box by means described in Specification 26,011/12. After two more movements of the carrier, the box, which has again assumed its upright position, is presented beneath a supply hopper 80, which descends and fills the bag, the hopper being meanwhile vibrated by a serrated cam. The material is then acted upon by a stamper-rod 99, and, after a further movement of the carrier, is pressed and levelled by a flat stamper 101. At the next position of the carrier, the open end of the bag is engaged by folders and creasers 113, 114, 115, 136 constituting a modified form of the folding-mechanism described in Specification 11,189/04, and the last fold is turned down as the bag passes under a plate 133. The bag is finally raised from the box and is pushed by a plunger 145 into a trough 134. In a modification, instead of tilting the boxes to receive the formed bag, a pivoted receiver conveys the bag from the former to the box. In a modified machine, two formers are arranged side by side within the carrier, and the operating-parts are duplicated. Specification 9988/08 is referred to.

Abstract: 21,831. Bergmann Elektricitõtswerke Akt.-Ges. Sept. 25, 1911, [Convention date]. Protective arrangements. -An arrangement for automatically disconnecting a faulty section of a distributing-line consists of two artificial neutral points t<1>, t<2>, Fig. 4, formed at the two ends of the section, an insulated conductor h joining the neutral points and normally having equal potential differences from the separate conductors of the line, and relays r<1>, r<2> responsive to inequality arising out of leaks on any one conductor, the relays thereupon causing the opening of circuit-breakers o<1>, o<2>. The Figure shows a three-phase system having the auxiliary conductor in the form of a single sleeve. The conductor may alternatively consist of three separate sleeves, or of one or more separate wires. For overhead lines, the auxiliary conductor may be in contact with the insulator supports, themselves insulated from earth. In the case of direct currents, or single-phase systems, the main and return leads are made use of to obtain the balanced potentials. Electro-magnetic switches. - The relay employed on a three-phase system consists of three windings c<1>, c<2>, c<3>, Fig. 5, attracting the three limbs of an armature e, which tilts so as to close one of the spring contacts i in case the attraction on one limb becomes weakened. To ensure an action in case all three phases become short-circuited, a spring f may be added to push the armature up to the contacts, and to prevent such action taking place whenever the. supply is temporarily disconnected, the energizing of the circuit-breaker trip-coils is made to depend upon the presence of a current in the main line.
