Title: Improvements in Tapping Machines.
Inventor: BILGRAM HUGO
Filed: 1906-02-17
Granted: 1906-04-26
Abstract: 3924. Bilgram, H. March 3,1905, [date applied for under Patents Act, 1901]. Tapping.-In a nut-tapping machine in which either the work or the tap is rotated, but shown as of the type described in Specification No. 24,120, A.D. 1904, the tap is held at or driven from only one end at a time, the nut-holder is allowed to move with the nuts, and arrangements are provided for feeding the nut blanks and for stopping the machine on an imperfect blank being fed. The driving-pulley c is toothed internally and drives a toothed disk f secured on the main shaft b by means of an idle pinion d carried by a plate e, which is loose on the shaft b and is normally retained by a pawl 26 and projections e<1>, e<11>. The bevel-driven shaft g drives the socket arbors l<1>, l at the same speed by means of the wheels o<1>, o, i<i>, i, the epicyclic gearing q, ql mounted on the pivoted frame p, and the idle pinion j. A worm k and wheel s drive a segmental wheel u, which alternately gears with and completely rotates the pinions v, v<1>, thus withdrawing and returning the arbors l, l<1> by means of cranks, rods x, x<1>, and a lever z pivoted to a link 34 attached to one arm of a spring-retained bell-crank lever 35. A drum 4 and a notched wheel forming the bottom of the blank hopper 3 are oscillated by a friction coupling 9, 10 and a rod 14 from a wheel u, the frame p being simultaneously oscillated by a rod 17. A rod 21 oscillates a shaft 18 carrying a lever 22 and a finger 23 for withdrawing the pawl 26 from the plate e. The pawl is returned by a spring 29, which, however, withdraws the pawl by means of the lever 28 when the shaft 19 is allowed to rotate by its lever 27 being freed by the catch 31. This catch can be withdrawn and reset to stop and start the machine by a pin 33 on a handlever 32, and is withdrawn to stop the machine by the rod 38, lever 35, and link 34 when the return of the upper arbor l<1> to its normal position is prevented by an imperfect blank. The nut-holder 39 slides downwards with the nuts, but is returned to its highest position by a spring 40 when the finger 23 withdraws the pawl 26 and the plate e is making half a revolution, during which time the tap is stationary. The operation is as follows :-(1) The arbor l<1> and soccket m<1> are retracted to allow a blank to fall into the holder 39, and are then advanced ; (2) both sockets m, m<1> engage the tap, but the oscillation of the frame p causes one socket to gain on the other, and consequently the drive of the tap to be transferred from the lower to the upper socket ; (3) the arbor l and socket m are withdrawn and returned to allow a tapped nut to be discharged ; (4) actions similar but of opposite nature to (2) then occur.

Title: Improvements in Governing Mechanism for Pneumatic Tube Systems
Inventor: BATCHELLER BIRNEY CLARK
Filed: 1906-04-21
Granted: 1907-01-10
Abstract: 9418. Batcheller, B. C. April 21. Pneumatic dispatch apparatus.- In a system having an exhausting or compressing fan or pump driven by an electromotor, provision is made for automatic regulation of the speed of the motor, by which the pressure will be maintained approximately constant. A rheostat or other voltage changer is adjusted by the movements of a piston in a cylinder I, the ends of which are connected to ports of a valve casing K containing a double piston valve L. The ends of the valve casing are open to the atmosphere and the middle is connected to the transit tube by a tube K<3>. In a chamber M is provided a diaphragm N, which with the end of a spring P<3> is sensitive to the differences between the atmospheric pressure and the pressure in the system, the chamber being connected up by a pipe Q. A lever T, fulcrumed on the frame at T', has one end connected by a link to the diaphragm, and the other end jointed at S<3> to one end of a lever S', which is connected at an intermediate point S<2> by a link L<1> to the valve, and hangs by a link S from a slide R attached to the piston-rod. Thus, with disturbance of the diaphragm, the valve is shifted to allow differential pressure on the piston, so that it adjusts the rheostat and at the same time restores the valve to the neutral position.

Delivery apparatus.- In a drop-sheet delivery, the reciprocating tapes 9, Fig. 2, are supported at one end by pulleys 8, each supported independently by arms 6 carried on a bar 7 attached to two carriages 27 running on rails 21. The sheets pass from the cylinder or other part of a printing &c. machine, along tapes 5, and above the tapes 9, which are then being moved outwardly by means such as links 29 and levers 31, the sheets passing over guards 36 up against stops 35, and the tapes being moved out over the delivery board 45. Towards the end of the outward movement of the tapes &c., the stops 35 are raised and the guards 36 are lowered through the tilting of a shaft 40 by a spring stop 39 engaging with one of the links 29. On the inward movement of the moving tapes 9, the shaft 14 is rotated at such speed as to keep the top'surface of the tapes 9 stationary, and the sheet is thus allowed to drop on the table 45 as the tapes roll from underneath it. Towards the end of the inward movement, the stops 35 and the guards 36 are again moved into the position shown in Fig. 2 by a bent lever 49 engaging with a stop 50 on one of the rails 21. The tape pulleys 8 are adjustably held in U-shaped stirrups 11 with slotted holes for the screws 12 to allow of tightening the tapes. The tape pulleys 10 are slidable on the shaft 14 and turned by a feather thereon, being guided laterally by yokes 25<a> to which the arms 6 are also fixed. The shaft 14 is turned only on the inward movement of the arms 6 &c. by a pawl fixed to a disk turned by a spur-wheel in gear with a rack on the underside of one of the rails 21, engaging with a ratchet-wheel on one end of the shaft 14. On the opposite side of the disk to that on which the pawl is situated is a semicircular abutment fitting round the ratchet-wheel and counteracting the thrust of the pawl.

Title: Improvements in and applicable to Drum Measuring Machines for Cloth and the like.
Filed: 1907-09-27
Granted: 1908-08-13
Abstract: 21,441. O'Connor, E., and Riley & Co., J. H. Sept. 27. Measuring and folding. - In order to avoid inaccurate results from being obtained in the measuring of fabrics, owing to the stretch set up by the measuring-drum, the fabric or web passes first over a feed-roller L and is delivered to the measuring-drum A in its normal state without appreciable slackness or tension, the drum and roller being driven positively and independently of the pull of the cloth. To this end, the circumferential speeds of the feed-roller and measuring- drum are adjusted by cone or expanding pulleys, by adjusting the diameters of the drum and roller, or by packing one of the driving-pulleys. The fabric, either single or folded, is drawn over the usual opening-out board by friction only over the feed-roller L ; or the feed-roller may be covered with baize, a larger arc of contact being made, if necessary, by means of staves. A nipping-roller may be used in conjunction with the feed-roller. The feed-roller is preferably driven from the same shaft C that drives the measuring-drum, between which and one or more endless blankets F it is positively carried. The fabric is then folded by a swinging or pendulum plaiter G. The invention may be applied to any drum-measuring machine without a plaiter, or with one as in Specification No. 27,117, A.D. 1905.
