Title: Improvements in machines for shaping and smoothing the backs and sides of shoe uppers
IPC: A43D11/12
Filed: 1926-12-09
Abstract: 262,799. Freeman Co., L. G., (Assignees of Freeman, L. G., and Freeman, B. W.). Dec. 9, 1925, [Convention date]. Treeing and ironing; uppers, machines for.- Relates to machines for shaping the rear and sides of the heel portions of boots and shoes. A number of electrically-heated forms are mounted on a rotatable turret, and each is provided with a clamping-strap for co-operation with the form. The turret is rotated intermittently by the operator, and, as each form reaches the operator's position, a treated shoe is removed. a fresh shoe positioned over the form and the clamping-strap tightened over the work, this pressure being maintained while the form performs the complete rotation. The turret comprises a number of forms 7, Fig. 1, projecting from a head rotating on a central bearing carried by a sleeve 2. This sleeve is vertically adjustable, to suit the height of the operator, clamping bolts 3 securing it in a split column 1. Each form is heated by an electric resistance 8 supplied with current by rings rotating with the turret co-operating with fixed brushes, a rheostat handle 60, switch 62 and lamp 64 being provided in the circuit. The clamping means comprise an internal liner 68, Fig. 7, and rubber pads 71 mounted on a strap 26 clamped at 27 to a pivot 28, Fig. 5, on an arm 17, Figs. 1 and 3. This arm is resiliently connected, by a spring 23, to a handle 18, both being pivoted at 15 to an arm 12 adjustable radially of the turret, a key 13 and slot 10 co-operating with a bolt 11 in maintaining alignment. To retain the clamping-strap in tensioned condition, the arm 12 carries an arcshaped member 32 passing through a slot in a locking bar 33 pivoted at 34 to the handle 18 and provided with friction pins 35 normally gripping the member 32 under the thrust of a spring 39. when it is desired to release the strap a handle 36 pivoted to the arm 18 at 37 is pressed towards the arm, when a lug 38 shifts the locking bar to release the grip. The Specification, as open to inspection under Sect. 91 (3) (a) comprises also the subjectmatter of Specification 276,371. This subjectmatter does not appear in the Specification as accepted.

Title: Digital compass
IPC: G01C17/26
Filed: 1971-07-06
Abstract: 1412582 Digital compasses using photodetectors; position transducers P A MARRIOTT 5 Oct 1972 [6 July 1971] 31643/71 Heading G1A A digital compass comprises a rotatable disc 15, Fig. 1, a pick-up device 17 which gives a heading signal when a datum 16 on the disc passes a position fixed with respect to the compass casing and a reference direction signal when the datum passes a reference position, an arrangement 19, 21 for providing pulses the number of which corresponds to the angular movement of the disc between the two positions and a counter B for deriving a digital signal from the pulses. The disc 15 is rotated by a motor 14 and the datum 16 is a slot which co-operates with a lamp and photocell combination 17 to supply the heading signal for resetting the counter B to zero. Holes 21 in the disc enable a lamp and photo-cell arrangement 19 to supply pulses to the counter until a detector 10, 18 similar to that described in Specification 1412581 generates the reference direction signal which causes a store D to hold the count in the counter B. The count is fed via a decoder F to a number tube display G and since the holes are spaced at one degree intervals, the count represents the number of degrees by which the heading of the slip 11 differs from magnetic north. A comparator 11 enables the actual heading to be compared with a desired heading set by three switches J. A circuit M charges a capacitor for a time dependent on the interval between the instant of receiving the reference direction signal and the instant of receiving via a gate K a signal L denoting momentary equality of the desired and actual headings. The charge on the capacitor is therefore equal to the difference between the desired and actual headings and is displayed on an indicator P for use by the helmsman or to control an automatic pilot. Systems are described for providing correction for magnetic variation and magnetic deviation including a system for a tank having a rotatable gun turret in which different deviation corrections are applied for different angular positions of the turret. An optical reference direction signal generator, Fig. 4 (not shown) is also described and the pulses supplied to counter may be generated by sliding electric contacts, by an electrostatic pick-off or an electromagnetic pick-off. An arrangement, Fig. 5 (not shown), is described in which the compass angle representing the heading of the vehicle or craft is compared with the angular position of a remote device to align the remote device with the compass.

Abstract: 960,535. Aerating Iquids. CORNELIUS CO. Aug. 21, 1962 [March 8, 1962], No. 32110/62. Heading B1C. [Also in Division F1] A method of maintaining the carbonation of a carbonated liquid comprises disposing it in a chamber of variable size, and applying a force to the outside of the chamber, and hence a pressure to the carbonated liquid slightly in excess of its partial pressure. As shown, an apparatus consists of a rigid metal container 11 divided into two chambers 16, 17 by a flexible partition 12. The carbonated liquid is filled into the chamber 16 and a condensable gas (which may be, for example, a blend of propane and butane, nitrous oxide or dichloromonofluoromethane) into the chamber 17 through the filling valve 22. The condensible gas serves also to discharge the carbonated liquid through the hose 14 and dispensing valve 13 ; the hose 14 is elongated and of small bore in order to reduce the pressure of the carbonated liquid by fluid friction to prevent foaming at the outlet.

A capacitor of the interleaving vane-type has plates formed by a series of parallel cuts in a solid metal bar, the cuts being found simultaneously by ganged rotary saws. Fig. 5 shows a bar suitable for the stator. The bar 12, inserted into a machine as shown in Fig. 1, is gripped by a work-holder 11 and bears at one end against an adjustable stop 17 and at the other end against a plate 15 which maintains a constant pressure on the end of the bar 12. Cuts are made in the bar by a series of circular saws 25 and 26, the saw 26 being larger than the others so as to sever the end of the bar. The circular saws are mounted on an axle which can be moved under the control of a cam 31. The bar 12 is held stationary by a pressure pad 18 operated by a solenoid 19 which is released when the end of the bar has been severed to allow the bar to be fed forward to meet the stop 17. Fig. 9 shows a bar 44 suitable for the rotor of the capacitor. The bar 44 is cut in a similar manner to that of bar 12 but in a different machine, Fig. 3 (not shown), which rotates the bar during the cutting. Bolts 65, 66, welded to the end-plate 35 of the stator, pass through holes in an insulating block 67 to provide terminals for leads 70, 71 (see Fig. 13). Alternatively, Fig. 14 (not shown), the base of a U-shaped bar is welded to the end-plate and the legs pass through the insulating block to provide terminals.
