Title: Apparatus for Lifting, Transporting and Shaving Stereotypes.
Inventor: HEARSON THOMAS ALFRED
Filed: 1905-08-14
Granted: 1906-08-09
Abstract: 16,510. Hearson, T. A., [Charlottenburger Farbwerke Akt.-Ges.]. Aug. 14. Planing.-Apparatus for finishing curved stereotypes, more particularly for use with a casting- machine as described in Specification No. 12,850, A.D. 1903, has means for transporting the stereotype from the trimming-cylinder, where its ends have been cut off, to a shaving-device, where the inner surface is turned up. The stereo is transferred from the trimming-cylinder G, Fig. 5, to a shaving-cylinder, Fig. 3, by grippers n sliding on a pivoted lever m, the motion of which is suitably controlled by a cam k and lever r. The stereo is pushed into the trough t by the knife g<1>, until it comes against stops e', when it is shaved internally by the knife, two projecting parts of which cut grooves in the stereo. The stops e<1> are then retracted by eccentrics e', and a cam h causes a sliding stud to push the stereo a short distance sideways, so that on the next revolution of the cylinder the projections on the knife g<1> carry the stereo round to the top of the cylinder. In this position the cylinder is unclutched from its driving- cam l<3>, Fig. 5, as explained below, and the stereo is slid sideways on to the justifier stand. A loose cam l<3> on the shaft a is driven by worm &c. gearing s<1>, b, b<1>, and normally turns the shaft a and the cylinder g by a pawl l<4> and crank c'. When the stereo has been shaved and is ready for removal, an eccentric e<3> on the shaft e lifts a rod d from engagement with a fixed bolt d<5>, and allows it to be swung to the left by a spring d<9>, thus lowering the pivoted cam d<7> by means of an eccentric d<10>, and releasing the pawl l<4> and cam l<3> by the engagement of the roller l<1> and the cam d<7>. The cylinder is thus stopped in the right place until another stereo is ready on the cylinder G for transportation, when the rod d is again moved to the right and held by the stop d<5> in position to cause the re-engagement of the cam L<3> and pawl l<4>, by means of a cam p on the shaft D,

Abstract: 20,296. Dow, W. S., and Smith, E. J. Sept. 21. Rotary machines: associating and delivery apparatus.-Newspapers of 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, or 16 pages are printed by means of a machine capable of operating upon the web supplied from a single roll. The printing-rollers 1, 2 may be provided with eight page-sized plates, four around the periphery and two along the length of the roller, the columns running lengthwise thereof. In producing 4, 8, or 16 page papers, the machine shown is run as a single unit, a single web passing between the printing couples in succession, but in producing a 6, 10, or 12 page paper the machine is run as two units, Fig. 3, two webs a, b being used. For a 4-page paper, half the length of both cylinders is plated with a duplicate set of plates. The web is thus perfected by the rollers 1, 2 and is delivered to cutting-apparatus 3, 3<1> and delivery apparatus, each revolution of the rollers producing two newspapers. Similarly, four papers may be produced from a two-page wide web by plating the complete length of the rollers and slitting the web longitudinally at 4. An 8 - page paper is produced by providing the rollers 1, 2 each with duplicate sets of four plates and employing paper two pages wide, while a 16-page product is produced by providing each roller with eight independent plates. In both cases, the web is slit and the one half superposed over the other half by means of a transferrer 5. For a 6-page paper, a 4-page sheet of the web a is combined with a 2-page sheet of the web b which runs at half the speed of the web a. For a 10-page paper, two 4-page sheets of the web a are combined with a 2-page sheet of the web b, which runs at onequarter speed, while for a 12-page paper, two 4-page sheets of the web a are combined with one 4-page sheet of the web b which moves at halfspeed. Each web is perfected by printing it on one half the length of its roller and then transferring it laterally by means of the devices 5, 8 to be printed by the other half of the roller. A device 6 applies a line of paste to the web a. The web b is cut by cylinders 9, 9<1> ; a cylinder 10 accelerates the cut sheet to the speed of the web a and forwards it to cylinder 3<1>, where all are collected, and passed on to the folding and delivery apparatus.

Abstract: 20,409. Smith, E. W. Sept. 13. Transferring articles to or from trains in motion; mail-bag catchers and dischargers. - Consists in apparatus for exchanging staves, tokens, or other articles. Figs. 3 and 4 show the train element in side view and plan, Fig. 6 the track element in end view, and Fig. 2 the two structures juxtaposed for transfer. The collector consists of jaws 1, 1<a>, the opening of which terminates between inwardlydeflected narrow guides 2<a>, bridged by a pawl 12 to prevent the escape of the staff-head 20 or other article after entry. The staff to be collected is held at right-angles to the track in a tubular delivery box 14, which is shown to a larger scale in Fig. 9. The box has a spring-pressed flap 16 which opens horizontally and so enables that staff to be withdrawn by the forward motion of the train. The inward deflexion of the guides 2<a> causes the track staff 11 to leave its box 14<a>, Figs. 2 and 6, swing parallel to the train, and enter, without shock, the cushion 8, which comprises two flared clips 9, Fig. 6, held together by springs 23, 24 or their equivalent, and covered with leather 11 which terminates in a loop 11<a> for retaining the token after its entry. A similar action occurs when the train staff is collected by the track standard. In place of the two guides 2<a>, a single guide may be used, in which case the head 20 on the collected article is replaced by a loop or ring. Fig. 13 shows a delivery box having a pair of horizontal horns 25 on the same side as the spring-pressed flap 16. A pin 26 on the staff 18 bears on the horns and guides the staff into alinement with the train as it leaves the box. In the modification shown in Fig. 14, used for exchanging ball tokens, the train carries a hook 27, which engages the head 20 of the token, extracting it from its normal position in the box 14, shown in dotted lines, and swinging it round on to the collecting-tray 29 under the action of the curved guiding-fork 28. The staff 18, shown in Figs. 2 to 13, is preferably screwed or bayonet-jointed to a rod 19 of flexible metal or wires. The entry of the staff &c. into the cushion 8 may be made to operate a visual signal or ring a gong. The staff or its equivalent may carry a receptacle for such articles as cannot be attached directly to the staff or held in the delivery box. Similar arrangements may be used for the transference of articles between trains in motion.
