Title: Improvements in Appliances for Folding Paper.
Inventor: HOLLINGSWORTH SAMUEL
IPC: B65H45/16
Filed: 1910-03-12
Granted: 1910-08-04
Abstract: 6294. Hollingsworth, S. March 12. Folding-paper.-A rotary folder of the kind in which a blade tucks the paper or fabric into jaws on a cylinder is constructed so as to prevent tearing strains during the folding. A tucking-blade 6 is mounted so as to have a central bearing in the bottom of a slot in a cylinder 1 and the blade is held in position by studs 8 surrounded by springs 7 which normally keep the blade against the lefthand side of the slot, as shown in Fig. 4. The blade 6 thrusts the paper between fixed jaws 11 and jaws 9 on a gripper bar 10, which is oscillated by a cam 14 and a roller 13 on an arm 12. The jaws 9 move in the opposite direction to their cylinder 2, and carry the blade 6 with them, so that during the folding the blade 6 is practically stationary relatively to the web and there is little strain on the web. The folded leaves are brought together by a roller 16, and the folded product is removed by strippers 17 acting in grooves in the cylinder 2.

Title: Apparatus to Phonographically Recording Telephonically Transmitted Conversations.
IPC: H04M1/65
Filed: 1912-04-24
Granted: 1912-11-07
Abstract: 9752. Watseck & Starcke. Nov. 25, 1911, [Convention date]. Electro - magnetic switches.-An electromagnetically-actuated multiple switch is used in an arrangement whereby telephone signals are recorded phonographically. When an electromagnet 7 is energized over a circuit 1, 7, 10, 12, 2, it raises an armature 6 and with it the multiple switch bar 4, 5 pivoted at 3, thereby separating the spring contact 10 from the contact 12 to break the circuit of the magnet 7 by allowing an insulated end 11 of the arm 5 to enter a recess 9 in the spring 10. The armature 6 and multiple switch arm 4, 5 are retained in the raised position as shown, owing to the closing at contacts 13, 14 of the circuit of a magnet 15 which attracts an armature 16 mounted on a spring pivot 17. A hooked arm 18 on the armature pulls over a lever 19, counterweighted at 36, and a pivoted detent arm 20 on the switch arm 4 engages a notch 22 on the arm 19. The switch arm 4, 5 is formed with a channel frame 24 containing a metal ball 23 normally at rest in the dotted position. When the arm 4 is raised, the contact ball 23 rolls down, and after an interval completes a circuit through contacts 25, 26. When the current is cut off at terminals 1, 2 to de-energize the magnet 15, the counterweight 36 moves the lever 19 to the right, and the hooked arm 18 striking a spring 37 attached to the arm 20 frees the arm 20 from the notch 22 thus allowing the switch arm 4, 5 to fall and the ball 23 to roll back to the left. The contacts 13, 14 are then disconnected and the contacts 10, 12 again connected ready for the next operation.
