Title: Improvements in Spring-actuated Door Closers.
Inventor: HANNAH THOMAS
Filed: 1905-04-18
Granted: 1905-08-31
Abstract: 8306. Hannah, T., Hannay, G., and Rosentreter, A. J. April 18. Door-closing apparatus.-A spring- controlled d o o r - closing device, applicable to doors that may be opened in either direction, is contained in a cylindrical casing M, closed at the bottom and having a rectangular flange M<1> surrounding the open top, which is provided with a cover or lid M<2> held in position by a screw M<4> extending through the cover and into a boss M<5> on the interior face of the casing bottom. Screws passing through holes M<7> both in cover and flange fix the device to the floor beneath the door. The pivot N<1>, Fig. 8, holding the upper part of the door projects from a plate N attached to the under face of the lintel, and engages with a socket n in an L-shaped piece N<2>, which is sunk into the top corner of the door. This piece N<2> is cast with a recess or pocket n<1> adjacent to the socket and connected therewith by a passage n<2> ; lubricant may then be stored in the pocket n<1>, whence it is conducted to the pin and socket friction surfaces. The spring G which closes the door is helical, and the ends, top and bottom, are bent abruptly from the outer circle straight to, and coiled closely round, a centre pivot or pintle D. The pintle D has a square or rectangular projecting end D<1>, which engages, and is operated by, a corresponding recess in a sole-plate attached to the bottom edge of the door. L-shaped lugs D3, D<5> are formed on the pintle D and are so placed as to come just outside the parts G<3>, G<4> of the spring G coiled round the pintle D. Other lugs M<8>, M9 are fixed to the lower and upper rigid parts respectively of the casing, just outside the lugs on the pintle, as shown in Fig. 5. The spring is attached to the pintle with a certain amount of tension, being coiled up about a quadrant beyond its normal shape. On the door being opened in either direction, the pintle D is rotated, and one of the lugs, according to the direction of rotation, carries round with it the straight part of the spring facing it ; the corresponding part of the opposite end of the spring is retained by the fixed lug in that part of the casing ; the spring is thus further coiled up, and the tension thereby produced closes the door when the latter is released.

The breech-bolt 11 is formed with a groove 16 in which a stud 19 of the striker 12, Fig. 6, engages to unlock and retract the bolt, the drive-rod 1 of the gas cylinder 2 being connected to the operating-handle 18 formed in one piece with the striker 12. The front part of the groove 16 is straight and parallel to the axis of the breech-bolt, the middle part is helical, and the end part is transverse as shown in Fig. 2. As soon as the stud 19 of the striker 12, which is driven to the rear by the drive-rod 1, reaches the helical part of the groove, the breech-bolt is rotated for unlocking the lugs 14, 15 and a further rotation is produced by inclining the guide-grooves 21 of the locking-lugs so that the stud 19 engages in the transverse part of the groove and completes the retraction of the bolt. The sear 23, which engages by its front end with the cocking piece, is provided with a projection 26 against which the combined sear-spring and trigger spring 27 acts. The trigger is provided with a sear-actuating part, which is pivoted at 30 and escapes from engagement with the sear tail to allow the sear to return to its first position before the trigger is released. A spring catch 32 is provided for holding the breech open after firing. For automatic firing, the catch is depressed so as not to engage with the cocking- piece. The magazine is provided with two retaining-teeth 39, 40 on the tongue 38, which is cut out of the rear face of the magazine and is used to raise the magazine from the " cut-off " position.

Title: Improvements in Inking Mechanism
Inventor: NEWTON PHILIP ARTHUR
Filed: 1906-03-06
Granted: 1906-06-28
Abstract: 5447. Newton, P. A., [Hoe, R.]. March 6. Inking apparatus.-Inking - mechanism is constructed with arrangements for lifting the frame carrying the distributing-rollers so that the latter may be out of contact with the forme-rolters, and also with means for vibrating the distributing-rollers. The mechanism is described in connexion with a bed- and - cylinder printing- machine, and embodies forme-rollers 3 frictionally driven by distributing-rolls 8, which are in turn driven through pinions 10, 11 from a rack on the reciprocating- bed. The rolls 8 and their rider rolls 13 are carried by arms 5, pivoted at 6, which may rest upon projections 4 on the frame 2. These arms may be lifted, in order to obtain access to the rolls, by pivoted arms 15 carrying segmental racks 19 and operable from a handle 21 by a gear 20. The arrangement of the parts is such that no locking mechanism is required for holding the frame in its raised position, although a stop 23 may be used to limit the movement of the arm 15. The rolls 8 are vibrated longitudinally by a rocking lever 24 engaging grooved collars on the roll shafts and driven from a shaft 26 rocked by a rocking-arm 31 and segmental racks 29, 30. In order that the arm 24 need never be disconnected from the rolls 8, a a short shaft depending from the arm carries a block 39 which engages a recessed block 38 on the end of the shaft 26. A spring between the bearing 37 and the block 39 causes engagement of the parts when they are in correct relative position. The arms 5 may be locked upon the frame 2 by the device shown in Fig. 7. A shaft 41 carries a handle 48 and eccentric pins 42 which enter latches 43. Movement of the shaft 41 causes the latches to lock with keepers 47.

Patent GB-190705825-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in or relating to the Damping or Conditioning of Yarn.
Inventor: GOODALL GEORGE
Filed: 1907-03-11
Granted: 1908-02-13
Abstract: 5825. Goodall, G., and Hobley, J. H. M. March 11. Liquids, apparatus for treating with.-Apparatus for damping or conditioning yarn as it is fed on to the bobbin of a winding- machine, or from the bobbin of a knitting-machine, is arranged so that the supply of damping-liquid is proportional to the peripheral speed of the yarn as it is being wound or unwound respectively, the whole of the yarn being thus equally moistened. The apparatus is shown applied to a winding-machine, Figs. 1 and 2. The yarn 5 after passing through the tension device passes over the damping-plate 7, through a reciprocating eye 4, and is wound on the bobbin 3. The curved damping-plate is pivoted to a support 8 and is free to turn and automatically adjust its inclination to the angle of the yarn. The liquid is supplied to the damping-plate from a flexible pipe 23 by a piston 19 which is reciprocated as follows. The wound yarn 9 rotates a serrated wheel 10, the spindle 11 of which carries a worm 12 engaging a worm-wheel 13 ; on the face of which are cams 14 which actuate the plunger 15. These parts are carried by a bracket 16 pivoted to a bar 17 and controlled by a spring 18, so that the serrated wheel is maintained in contact with the wound yarn 9 while the upper end of the plunger 15 is arranged near the pivot of the bracket 16, so as to minimize the lateral movement of the plunger end. The plunger 15 actuates the piston 19 slidable vertically in the sleeve 20 and gland 21 in the tank 1. Located around the piston is a cup 22, and a spring 26 normally presses the piston 19 on to the plunger 15. A recess or equivalent 27 is formed in the piston 19 at a point located above the upper end 28 of the sleeve 20 when the piston is at the top of its stroke and of sufficient length to ensure that the recess 27 is carried below the gland 21 when the piston is at the bottom of its stroke. The rotation of the wheel 10 thus causes a reciprocation of the piston 19, and an intermittent supply of liquid is fed from the tank 1 to the cup 22 and damping-plate 7, proportional to the speed of the wheel 10, i.e. proportional to the peripheral speed of the yarn on the bobbin. When the yarn is being wound on a cone, the wheel 10 is preferably held in contact with the larger end of the cone. The amount of liquid fed to the damping-plate may be varied by changing the number of cams on the worm-wheel, or by varying the diameter of the wheel 10.
