Abstract: 11,953. Bennett, G. H. May 22. Soldering.-In a machine for soldering the tops and bottoms to sides or the loose sides to the box structures of rectangular or other angular-shaped metal boxes, the boxes are passed by a continuously travelling bed over flux and solder supplying means at opposite sides of the machine. The boxes may be fed by a belt 4 rotated by a pulley 5 through guides 7, over pivoted bridge-pieces 8 to a pair of fixed rails 9, which are connected to the flux baths 10 and solder tanks 12 and are laterally adjustable by screws 22. The flux is supplied by brushes 11 in the baths 10 and the solder through the extending lips 15, the solder being kept up to the requisite level by forming compartments 12, 13 in the solder-tanks and transferring solder from the compartment 12 to the compartment 13 by cradles 16 having discharge mouths 21 in a manner similar to that described in Specification 13,475/11. The cradles are oscillated from the shaft carrying the pulley 5 by cranks and connecting rods. Superfluous solder is then removed by brushes 26 having two sets of bristles at right-angles to each other and the foremost box is pushed by the succeeding boxes over guides 27, 28 supported over a belt 32. When the box leaves the shorter guides and comes in contact with a stop 29 on the longer guide, the belt rotates the box so as to enable the two other edges thereof to be presented to a second series of fluxing, soldering, and cleaning devices whereby the soldering is completed. The solder tanks are heated by Bunsen burners 24, 25.

Abstract: 16,972. Burch, W. I., [Harris Automatic Press Co.]. July 17. Number - printing apparatus; tripping - arrangements; dating tickets &c.-A printing- machine is provided with dating and numbering mechanisms each comprising a number of changeable printing-members, the members of the dating - mechanism being changed at each operation of the machine and those of the numbering-mechanism once in each complete cycle of operation of the dating-muchanism or at other predetermined intervals. Means are provided to prevent change of the members of either mechanism when the feed supply tu the. machine is interrupted. The machine shown is designed to produce batches of dated and numbered envelopes for weekly church offerings, the envelopes in the. same batch bearing the same number but different dates and the different batches bearing different numbers. The dating - members are carried by an endless chain 5 carried by a frame 15 fixed to a shaft 7 driven by gearing from the impression cylinder 2. The dating- chain is advanced by a pawl 21 engaging a pinion 19 on the chain driving-shaft 18. The pawl 21 is mounted on a carrier 20 loosely pivoted on the shaft 18 and carrying a roller 25 which at each revolution of the shaft 7 engages a stationary cam 26, thereby oscillating the pawl-carrier and advancing the pinion 19. The cam 26 is pivoted and connected by links 28, 29 to the shaft of the tripping-mechanism of the machine so that, when the machine is tripped, the cam 26 is moved out of the path of the roller 25 so that the dating and numbering mechanisms are not changed. The pinion 19 gears with a wheel 31 having the same number of teeth as there are dating-members on the chain 5. The numbering-mechanism 6, Fig. 2, is mounted on the shaft 7 and supports the shaft 18, on which is foosely mounted the pawl-carrier 33a of the numbering-head. The pawl-carrier 33<a> is operated at one or more predetermined points in the cycle of operation of the dating-chain by means of one or more lugs 33 on the gear-wheel 31 engaging a projection 38 on a lever 37 connected to a crank 36 on a rock-shaft 34 connected by a crank and link to the pawl-carrier. In a modification, the shaft 34 is actuated by a lever arranged in the path of projections on certain links of the dating-chain. In a further modification, the wheel 31 and pinion 19 are formed as ratchet-wheels, and instead of being driven by the pinion 19, the wheel 31 is actuated by a pawl on the pawl-carrier 20.
