Title: Improvements in or relating to Machines for Measuring the Superficial Area of Sheet Material such as Leather, Cloth, Paper and the like.
Inventor: SCHETTLER GUSTAV ADOLF
IPC: B65H23/025
Filed: 1913-01-17
Granted: 1914-01-19
Abstract: 1387. Schettler, G. A. Jan. 17. Feeding and registering webs.-Machines of the Sawyer and like types for measuring the area of leather &c. are provided with (1) additional means for feeding the material between the usual roller d and measuring-wheels e, Fig. 1, so as to prevent improper manipulation or stretching of the leather during its measurement; (2) means for smoothing-out folds or puckers in the material; and (3) means for releasing (i.e., disabling) the area-indicating mechanism or for stopping the machine if the material is unduly stretched or pressed by the operator before it is fed into the machine. Several forms of apparatus are described, but the main features are as follows. (1) The additional feeding-means comprises a spring- controlled roller or series of rollers 1 normally engaging frictionally with the usual roller d, or it may be positively driven. A pair of rollers 5, 6, Fig. 6, the lower one 5 of which may be positively driven, may, however, be provided. (2) The means for smoothing the leather comprises a series of adjustable rubber-covered disks 12, Fig. 4, driven frictionally or otherwise, and inclined as shown, or a corrugated bar or rod such as 31, Fig. 7. The disks 12 and table 9 are connected by levers 22 and links 24 so that they can be separated to allow of the insertion of the material &c., by the depression of a treadle 26; the movement depresses the table which is pivoted at 21 and simultaneously raises the pivotally-mounted wheels 12. Another means for smoothing the leather comprises the endless brushes &c. 57, Fig. 9, which are mounted on pairs of pulleys 59 and move at right-angles to the direction of feed. The bands or chains 58 may carry blades or other devices instead of the brushes. (3) The table 9 may be mounted on pivoted levers, Figs. 1 and 5, so that if the material is unduly pressed or pulled by the operator, the table moves with the material and rocks a lever 32, thereby releasing a catch 39 from a weighted lever 37 and raising a rod h. This releases the area-indicating mechanism, or stops the machine by means of connexions not shown. The movement of the lever 37 may be arranged to break a seal or a sealed cord so as to indicate that the mechanism referred to has been brought into action.

Title: Improvements in Back Facing Devices for Lathes.
IPC: B23C7/00
Filed: 1913-01-21
Granted: 1914-01-21
Abstract: 1731. Miller, W. L., and Gisholt Machine Co. Jan. 21. Lathes.-A back facing-bar 19 is reciprocated by a lever 22 and cam 28 driven when required through a clutch 31 and gearing 43 from the lathe spindle. The clutch is closed to bring the bar into action by manipulating a lever 67. either by hand or automatically, releasing a trip 63 controlling a one-revolution clutch between a power pulley 50 and shaft 38. A cam 36 is thus brought into and held in position to maintain the clutch 31 in driving relation. The groove of the cam 28 has a dwell at the close of the forward stroke, to permit the tool to impart a fine finish, and at the close of the return movement to give time for a cam 74 to actuate, through linkage 70, the one-revolution clutch to rotate the cam 36 and unship the clutch 31.

Granted: 1913-10-23
Abstract: 4140. Leffer, L. G. Feb. 18. Hydrocarbon oils, cracking. - In converting hydrocarbons of higher boiling-point into hydrocarbons of lower boiling-point by subjecting them to a temperature of about 400‹ C. in the presence of a circulating current of a permanent gas under pressure, the hydrocarbons are brought into the decomposing-chamber in the form of spray or mist or other state of fine division. The apparatus comprises a decomposing-chamber z, dephlegmator t, condenser b, collecting-tank c, and a pump d for circulating the current of gas. The hydrocarbon introduced by a pipe l is sprayed, as by means of the circulating gas, either directly into the chamber l or, as shown, into a preliminary mixing- chamber m, in which impurities such as asphalt are separated as a result of their low volatility. The pressure may range from 2 to 15 atmospheres. Specifications 2328/12 and 19,051/12 are referred to.

Abstract: 6200. Roberts, R. D. March 13. Boat-lowering gear.-Means for keeping a boat close to the ship's side during lowering operations consists of a wire jackstay A attached at its lower end to an eye C protected by a rubbing-block D. The wire, after passing over a roller H on the edge of the deck, is secured to a turn-buckle F attached to a deck ring G. The roller H is mounted on a hinged bracket so that it can be turned back if desired. The wire may pass over a second horizontal roller so that the tight@ning-agent F can be arranged fore-and-aft. In a modification, the roller H, Fig. 6, is mounted on a pair of arms pivoted at P, and a second pair of arms R are secured to an horizontally-guided cross-arm, so that by moving the arm athwartship by means of a screw device the position of the roller H may be adjusted. The boat is guided on the wire A by means of a T-piece W having a hooked end embracing the jackstay. The piece W passes through an eye X secured to the gunwale and is adjusted relatively to the same by cross-pins. Reference has been directed by the Comptroller to Specification 3834/13.
Patent GB-191306582-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in or relating to Pincer Lasting Machines.
Inventor: WADE HAROLD
IPC: A43D21/02
Filed: 1913-03-17
Granted: 1914-06-17
Abstract: 6582. Wade, H., [United Shoe Machinery Co.]. March 17. Lasting. - Pincer lasting - machines are provided with means which, when operated, cause the speed of operative movement of the pincers to be reduced, increase the strength of the pull of the pincers, and effect a variation in the relative positions of the bottom rest and the entire path of operative movement of the pincers; any one of these three operations may be 'suspended. The invention is described as applied to the lasting- machine described in Specification 14,453/97, and comprises the provision of a cam 12, Figs. 1 and 2, mounted on the driving-shaft 54 of the machine, and a cam-roll 8 carried by an arm 9, which is coupled up by adjustable link connexions, Fig. 2, to a hand-lever 5. The machine is run at its normal speed when lasting the sides and toe of the shoe ; but when the shank is reached, the operator actuates the lever 5, which, through the connexions shown, moves the roll 8 into engagement with the operative portion of the cam 12 to oscillate the arm 9. The effect of this is, through other adjustable connexions shown in Fig. 2, to release and then to move the bottom rest 1 vertically, to position the shoe so that the upper can be more easily engaged by the pincers, and then to withdraw it into its box 22. At the same time, another set of connexions tightens a brake band 53 on the driving-shaft 54, and causes this shaft to be driven through epicyclic gearing at a slower speed, instead of being driven direct from the main driving-pulley 66. Another effect of the operative movement of the cam 12 is to cause a spring-pressed plate 98, Fig. 1, to be moved to trip a latch 96 carried by a block 94 on a rod 90 into the path of movement of a block 83 on a rod 84, which carries the usual updraw spring 88. This causes a second spring 93 to be thrown into action, to increase the strength of the pull of the pincers. The various parts are adapted to be returned automatically to their normal positions after a single cycle of operations, the lever 5 being released, as soon as it is depressed, to enable a projection on the cam 12 to return the cam-roll 8 into engagement with the inoperative portion of the cam path. As the bottom rest is lowered, there is a further pull on the upper, the rest being then locked by a spring-pressed pin to hold it firm while the tacks are driven.
