Title: Improvements in or relating to Machines for Presenting Paste or Analogous Adhesive Matter.
Inventor: BOULT ALFRED JULIUS
Filed: 1904-10-22
Granted: 1905-10-19
Abstract: 2 2 , 7 9 2 . B o u l t, A. J., [United Shoe Machinery Co.]. Oct. 22. Gumming, pasting, and the like.- Relates to a pasting or gumming machine particularly for use in forming box toes for boots and shoes. The gum is contained in a tank 4, which is provided with a depending chamber 6, in which is arranged a transferring - wheel 8. This wheel is mounted on a shaft 9, which is intermittently rotated by a pawl and ratchet gearing 28, 32, by depressing and releasing a treadle, the power being yieldingly transmitted through a spring 48. A spring 50 surrounding the shaft 9 raises the pawlcarrier to lift the pawl free of the ratchet-wheel when the treadle is released, backward movement of the shaft being prevented by a weighted locking- pawl actuated by the pawl-carrier. The wheel 8, which extends through a slot in the chamber 6 into the tank 4, Fig. 5, and also through a slot in the floor of the chamber, carries the gum on to a circular brush 10, which is mounted on a stud 12 projecting from the frame of the machine and is driven by gearing 20, 22, 24 from the shaft 9. In operation, each advance movement of the brush 10 exposes a portion of its periphery loaded with gum, across which the operator draws the work to spread the gum uniformly over the surface being treated. The advance of the brush can be varied, according to the length of the work, by means of an adjustable stop-carrier 75 provided with a number of stop-faces 76 of different sizes. To feed the gum from the tank 4, a small vertical shaft 52 is mounted in a bearing 60 formed integral with the bottom of the tank, and is fitted with a frame comprising outwardly and downwardly extending arms 54, and inclined wings 56 joining the lower ends of the arms and extending radially from a collar 58 surrounding the bearing 60. The shaft 52 is driven by bevel gearing 64, 66 from the shaft 9, and, as it rotates, the wings, which are notched as shown at 62 to pass over the wheel 8, press the gum into the chamber 6 and keep it filled. The arms 54 are arranged to scrape the gum from the walls of the tank 4, and the notches in the wings 56 to scrape the periphery of the wheel 8, while the sides of the opening in the chamber 6 scrape those parts of the sides of the wheel 8 which project through the opening. A toothed member 71 is also provided for distributing the gum evenly over the periphery of the brush 10. To prevent gum from hardening on the exposed face of the wheel 8 and in the spaces between the wheel and the bottom of the chamber 6, the lower portion of the latter is surrounded by a basin containing water or other liquid. A water pan 87 is also provided in which the brush 10 is placed when not in use. Powerdriven means may be added to the machine, for rotating the brush 10 through a predetermined number of revolutions.

Abstract: 2658. Gaucher, E. Feb. 2. Compressing; exhausting.-In airpumps, for compressing and exhausting, of the kind in which a piston works in a cylinder in open communication with a tank filled with oil acting as a lubricating and sealing- agent, the oil is returned by way of a float chamber to a point above the piston, and thence flows into a second float chamber which is open to the atmosphere and leads into the air suction pipe. The piston 15, provided with two cup-leathers and presenting a lower convex surface, works in a cylinder 13 which is integral with an oil tank 10 and is open to the atmosphere above the piston. The tank 10 is provided with covers 11, 12, presenting concave under-surfaces and furnished with screw fittings 38, 39, by means of which the tank is filled with oil, and others 18, 21, forming valve-seats for a suction valve 17 and a delivery valve 20. The suction pipe 19 communicates with the pump cylinder, and also with a chamber to be exhausted by way of pipes provided with stop-cocks 46, 45. The delivery pipe 23 is closed at its upper end, but has lateral perforations opening into an oil-separator 24, from which the compressed air passes to a receiver by way of one of the stopcocks 47, 48. The oil is projected against the sides of the vessel 24 and then returned, by way of a pipe 35, and a chamber 26 containing a float valve 27, to the space above the piston. The oil then passes to the suction pipe 18 by way of a pipe 31, a chamber 30 which is open to the atmosphere and contains a float valve 32, and a pipe 33. The separator is provided with an oil gauge 34, and a discharge tap 43 for drawing off the oil when desired. In a modification, the portion of the tank having the cover 11 is suppressed, and the oil-separator has the form shown in Fig. 5, in which the delivery pipe 23 enters from the top and a large float 71 controls a valve 68 in an extension chamber 64 communicating with the pump cylinder; a non-return valve 75 is located between the separator and receiver.
