Title: Improvements in Cylinder Tripping Mechanism for Printing Presses.
Inventor: EDWARDS ARTHUR ERNEST
IPC: B41F13/30
Filed: 1911-02-23
Granted: 1911-11-09
Abstract: 4621. Edwards, A. E., [Dittman, S. E.]. Feb. 23. Tripping-arrangements. - A tripping-device for the cylinders of rotary machines of the kind having a portion of the impression surface cut away is constructed so that when tripping occurs the impression cylinder is moved bodily away from the printing-cylinder during the portion of a revolution at which printing would occur and the impression cylinder is returned positively during the non-printing portion of the revolution, this return taking place for every revolution the cylinder is desired to be tripped. In the form shown an impression cylinder 4 is mounted in bearing-blocks 5 which are normally held by toggles comprising fixed arms 10 on a shaft 9 and pivoted links 12, the toggles being slightly bent and supported by a stop 14 resting against a guide 6 in which one of the blocks 5 moves. A lever with forked arms 15, 16 is fixed to the shaft 9, and in the normal printing position the arm 16 rests against an adjustable stop 23 and a roller 17 mounted in the arm is out of the path of a cam surface 21 mounted on the shaft of the impression surface 4. The arm 15 of the lever is provided with a bearing 18 in which a pin 19 can move laterally, the pin being moved by lever mechanism by depressing a pedal 40, or being moved by suitable feeler mechanism when it is desired to trip the press. As shown, the pedal 40 depresses a rod 37 through a spring 39, and the rod 37 rotates a spring-controlled shaft 34 connected by a rod 32 to a bell-crank lever 25, 26, which engages a slot in the pin 19 and moves it laterally into the path of the cam 21 The yielding connexion allows the pin to be actuated without injury to the parts even if the pin is opposite the raised part of the cam. The lateral movement takes place only when opposite the depressed part of the cam, and the tripping takes place when the raised part acts on the pin 19. When this pin leaves the raised part, the cam acts on the roller 17 to restore the cylinder 4 to normal position. The treadle 40 is provided with side lugs which may be caused to engage the underside of the frame 45 to cause the cylinder to be tripped for each successive revolution.

Abstract: 15,105. Jirotka, B. June 28. Pulp, preparation of; pulping-engines. - In the production of wood pulp by grinding wood chips between vertical stones, the material is fed between the stones by mechanical, hydraulic, or pneumatic means. The wood flakes are supplied either dry, heated, moistened, or in the form of a chip paste, to the central chamber 5, Fig. 1, of the stationary stone 1, and fed by a worm 6 on the hollow shaft 3 of the runner 2, steam, water, or air being supplied through the shaft 3 and passing by holes 8 into the chamber 5. The end of the shaft 3 may work in a housing 10 supplied with steam by a pipe 9. Or the half-stuff together with water, air, or steam may be fed through the shaft 3, which may contain a worm or have a worm formed on its inside. Fig. 2 shows an arrangement in which the shaft 3 is fitted with helical blades 14, and the hot air, steam, or water is supplied through channels 15, 16 in the stationary stone. Or a device similar to a centrifugal pump may work in the chamber 5. In another modification, the half - stuff is fed through the feed - shaft 20, Fig. 4, by a plunger 21 carried by a rod 23 having at its lower end a plunger 22 working in an hydraulic cylinder 25. Two stones carried by oppositely-revolving hollow shafts may be used, the stuff, previously treated with steam, being introduced through one shaft, and water through the other shaft.
