Title: Improved Apparatus for the Reproduction and Measurement of Human Foot.
Inventor: ZIELINSKI FRANCISZEK
Filed: 1907-12-30
Granted: 1908-09-03
Abstract: 28,656. Zielinski, F. Dec. 30. Moulding, special processes for. -A device for reproducing the exact shape of the foot in walking consists of a mould for the sole and adjustable frames and straps for the upper parts of the foot, by means of which lasts are made. On a base-plate 10, Fig. 2, is clamped a frame 13 carrying screws 24 by which celluloid frames 16, 17 are adjusted. The space within the frames is filled with wedges 12, Fig. 1, and shot 36. The foot is placed within the frames, which are then adjusted, and is removed in order to place a sheet of thick tin-foil over the shot. The foot is then replaced and pressed firmly downwards as in walking. The impression of the sole of the foot may be filled with plaster, or may be secured with lead straps. The frame 13 is unclamped, turned over, and the place previously occupied with shot is filled with plaster. This cast serves in forming the sole of the last. If desired, a leaden plate may be used in place of the tin-foil, or the foil may be covered underneath with a heated plastic substance which readily sets. The profile of the upper part of the foot is obtained by adjustable plates 51 which are clamped on a bifurcated member 50 by a screw 54. The distance of the frame 16 from a standard 49 is measured by a slider 56. A movable frame 39, bearing straps 42, 46, serves to take the girth of the foot at different places. The profile of the plates 51 is transferred to paper, and the numbers on the straps corresponding to the plates, and the distance registered by the slider 56, are noted. By the use of the sole cast and the above measurements, a stand similar to the above apparatus, but without the frame 13 and shot, can be set and a last made. In abnormal cases a cast may be made of the upper part of the foot in a manner similar to that when making the sole cast,

Inventor: ROGERS FRANCIS HERON
Filed: 1908-05-30
Granted: 1909-06-01
Abstract: 11,792. Rogers, F. H., and Shenton, G. May 30. Fares, registering; tickets, issuing; driving-mechanism for record strips.-Taximeters are provided with recording-mechanism which is mounted as an external and independent attachment and is adapted to record the movements of the vehicle and of the flag on a clock-driven strip, together with the fare and the extras, and also to issue a ticket on which is printed the fare. The record strip is drawn from a spool 56, Fig. 3, over a clock-driven roller 10 by a gear-wheel 61 on a spool 62 meshing with teeth on a spool 58. The roll 62 is rotated by an ink ribbon y, which is drawn therefrom on to a spool 66 by a coiled spring contained in the spool. The record cylinder 10 is formed in two parts, one 10<a>, Fig. 1, of which is clock-driven and provided with pins to engage the paper and limit its rate of movement, and the other 10<b> is loose on the spindle and is rubber-covered. The ticket strip is drawn from a spool mounted on a pillar 71, Fig. 3, and passes over the part 10<b> of the cylinder 10 and out between two feed rollers 73, 74. The recording- point is carried on an arm pivoted to a slide 38 carried by a tubular piece 37, and pivoted at 40 to a spring-controlled slider 42. The tubular piece 37 is connected to the sleeve of a centrifugal governor 35, which is driven from the vehicle, so that the pencil is moved to show rest or motion on the record. The governor is mounted on a slide 32, the position of which is controlled by a cam 43 adjusted from the flag by chain-gearing. The recording-point is thus moved over the paper to record the various positions of the flag, as shown in Fig. 6. The fare is printed on the record strip and ticket by printing - wheels 77, which are mounted on a shaft 78, Fig. 3, and driven from the indicator disks or set by hand, an outer series of wheels being provided for the latter purpose. The printing-wheels may be depressed through a handle 85, Fig. 3, or automatically when the flag spindle strikes a knob. Extra fares are recorded on the strip by perforating it at e, Fig. 6, the perforating-point being operated by a handle and a Bowden wire, which is connected to a lever bearing a pawl actuating a ratchet. Projections 95 on the axis of the ratchet engage semi-rotary tappets 96, which engage a tappet on a rotary shaft 31 carrying the marking-arm 99. When more than one extra is marked, the shaft 31 is given a lateral movement, in order to displace the dots, by a cam-wheel 102, which is driven from the wheel 94 and formed in steps to engage a projection 103 on the shaft 31.
