Title: Improvements in Feed Gage Devices for Printing Presses.
Inventor: MEGILL EDWARD LANDON
Filed: 1902-10-21
Granted: 1902-12-18
Abstract: 22,888. Megill, E. L. Oct. 21. Feeding sheets platen presses.-Relates to feed-gauge and registering devices for platen presses, and comprises a side gauge to which the sheet is fed and by which it is pushed sideways as the platen closes. Fig. 1 shows a plan of the gauge, Fig. 2 a plan with parts broken away, and Fig. 3 a sectional elevation. The gauge 6 slides in a guide 5 pivoted at 5<a> on a base-plate 1 fixed by two bolts 8 to a plate 10, which is secured by paste to the platen or tympan sheet. The head 6<a> of the gauge 6 has one end 6<b> formed T-shaped and curved upwards to prevent the sheet from getting over it, the projection 6<b> taking over the sheet S, Fig. 1. The other end 6<d> plays in a slit z in the tympan sheet. The gauge is moved by a flat spring 4 pivoted on the plate 1 and having a bole in its end engaged by the prong 6<c> on the gauge. The spring 4 is straightened out, to move the gauge, by a broad arm 2 pivoted on the plate 1, and engaged by the gripper arm Y of the press as it closes on to the platen. In order to prevent a too-sudden operation of the arm 2, the latter is provided with guides or keepers 13, in which a bar 11 is 'slidably held. The bar 11 has a lateral arm 12, which is in the path of the gripper arm Y nearer to its pivot point than the arm 2, so that the arm 12 is engaged earlier and thus operates the arm 2 before it is engaged by the gripper. The bar 11 has a recess 11<a> to facilitate its removal, and, by reversing the bar, the gauge may be used on either side of the platen. The plate 10 is formed with raised portions slotted at 10<b> for the bolts 8, and slits 10<c> are made to permit the front parts of these raised portions to be depressed. A modified form of gauge is described, in which the bar 11 is omitted and a paper sheet or holder is used in place of the plate 10. The paper holder is formed with open slots for the bolts 8. Paper holders 16, Fig. 21, having one slot 15 may be used for securing the bottom gauges to the platen.

Title: Double Action Feed Pump for Steam Generators and other Applications.
Inventor: CAILLE CHARLES
Filed: 1903-05-01
Granted: 1903-06-11
Abstract: 9930. Caille, C. May 1. Gravity-feed pumps; piston pump8.-Consists of a double-acting form of the pump described in Specification No. 16,058, A.D. 1901, for feeding boilers, circulating condensing-water, and other purposes. As before, the liquid runs into the pump, when the ports o are uncovered, from a surrounding chamber l provided with a vent pipe t. The barrel f, however, now has a prolongation a, into which projects a conical extension d of the stuffing-box, the piston p being deeply dished to correspond. At the end of the down-stroke, liquid enters the space k between the piston and extension d, and, on the up-stroke, is forced to the delivery g through a valve m. The space k communicates with the air through a float valve r. Where the pump is driven from the main engine with a constant stroke and the feed is regulated by controlling the supply to the chamber l, the air pipes t, q open above the liquid in a chamber in communication with the supply tank. At the top of this chamber is a valve opening outwards and held open by a spring. This valve, however. closes when, owing to a deficient supply of liquid in the chamber l, the pump sets up suction in the pipes q, t, and thus steam only and no air is drawn into the pump through these pipes.

Abstract: 19,475. Imray, O., [Siemens Schuckert-Werke Ges.]. Sept. 9. Dynamos and motors combined for transmitting power; motors, controlling. -Relates to an arrangement specially applicable to cranes, winding- engines, and the like for feeding several motors, in succession, from a single dynamo and for regulating the exciting- current of the dynamo by the same controlling- lever. Fig. 1 shows the electrical connections, and Fig. 2 the construction of the lever and quadrant. The quadrant frame is formed with three longitudinal slots s1, s2, s3 and a central transverse slot. The lever h is rotatably mounted with a pivot bolt k in an eye fixed on the shaft l, so that the lever can be moved along the transverse slot round the pivot k, and along the longitudinal slots round the pivot l. The motion round the pivot k causes the piece p to drag the rod q, and thus operate the switches um, un, ub, which connect up the armature, field, and brake-magnet circuits respectively of the motors m1, m2, m3. The motion of the lever round the pivot l operates, through the connecting-rod and crank i, the resistance switch r for regulating the dynamo field, and the brake switch f. The lever h can only be moved along the transverse slot when it is in a central position, and in this case no current is flowing in the field circuit w of the dynamo g, and the motors are therefore at rest.
