Filed: 1914-02-17
Granted: 1914-05-28
Abstract: 4065. Stasiak, J. Feb. 17. Aerial machines without aerostats; steering.- Consists in an automatically-controlled aeroplane which will carry a bomb to a predetermined point, diecharge the bomb, and return to its original position, the travel of the aeroplane, prior to dropping the bomb, being controlled by a device which is set before the aeroplane commences its journey. In the form shown in Fig. 2, the body 1 of the apparatus is provided with a motor 5, a cranked shaft 2, propellers 3 at each end, rudders 72, a supporting-plane 33, and travelling-wheels 6. The plane 33 is pivoted at 29 between uprights 27 carried by the body, the shaft 29 being provided with an arm 39 having two fingers 40 which engage a lever 42 on a shaft 43, a second lever 44 on the shaft being connected by a rod 45 to the reversing- lever 46 of the engine. With the plane set as in Fig. 2, the apparatus travels to the right ; reversal of the plane and the engine, for travel to the left, take place aimultaneously when the bomb is dropped. The bomb 60 is carried by a wire 59 from a notched sector 58 mounted on a shaft 57, the sector being retained in the position shown in Fig. 2 until a trigger 63 is released from the notch 64 ; the sector then rotates to release the bomb, and an arm 55 on the shaft 57 wipes over the arm 39 on the shaft 29 of the plane, thus reversing the plane and engine for the aeroplane to commence its return journey. The travel of the apparatus, prior to the release of the bomb, is controlled by a belt 20 which is wound at one end upon a shaft 14 and at the other end upon a shaft 15, the belt also passing round pulleys 24 and 23. The pulley 23 is carried by a pivoted frame 23<a> which keeps the belt taut ; the pulley 24 is the driving-pulley and is driven by gearing 8, 9. The shafts 14, 15 are geared together by spur-wheels 13, 16. The shaft 15 carriei a bracket 17 to which is pivoted at 18 a lever 19. to which one end of the belt 20 is attached. A spring 21 acts against one end of the lever 19, and the opposite end engages a stirrup 22 carried by the shaft 15. The distance that the aeroplane travels before the bomb is released is controlled by the length of belt initially wound round the shaft 15, and lever 19. As the apparatus travels forward, the belt is unwound from the shaft 15 and wound upon the shaft 14. When the lever 19 is free, the pull of the belt moves the lever outwards in the stirrup 22, thus releasing the trigger 63, Fig. 2. Reversal of the engine unwinds the belt from the pulley 14, and in this travel of the belt, a hook 26 thereon engages a lever 51 which, by means of mechanism 49, 48, 47, stops the engine when the device has returned to the starting-point.

Granted: 1914-11-19
Abstract: 5595. Fairweather, W. C., [Underwood Typewriter Co.]. March 5. Platen rotation for blanking, condensed billing, &c. A device for rotating the platen through arcs varying from one line-space to nearly two revolutions comprises a handle movable between stops on a carrier, which is normally stationary, but is capable of rotating through nearly a revolution when the platen is required to rotate through more than one revolution. The device shown comprises a handle 9 loose on the platen-shaft 2 and provided with a sliding pawl 7 pressed by a spring into engagement with a ratchet-wheel 5 fast on the platen-shaft. The handle is movable between a stop 13 secured to a disk or carrier 15 and a stop 14 secured to a radius-arm 17, and provided with a spring locking-pin 18 adapted to engage holes 16 in the disk. The holes 16 and the teeth of the ratchetwheel are each the same in number as the teeth of the line-spacing wheel. A spring locking-pin 20, preferably mounted in the stop 13, normally locks the disk to an abutment 21 secured by a rod 22. For arcs of less than one revolution the disk is locked, but for arcs of more than one revolution the disk is released, the play of the disk being then equal to nearly a revolution and being limited, as shown in Fig. 6, by the engagement of the pin 20 with the faces 24, 25 of the abutment 21. The pin is initially in contact with the face 24. The arrangement shown is applicable to blanking feeds for car records &c. in web form, the forward stroke of the handle being idle owing to the yielding of the pawl, and the platen being rotated to feed the web during the return of the handle. The device is adapted for condensed-billing by arranging the pawl to feed in both directions and to be released when returned to the initial position. Specifications 9256/09 and 20,314/10 are referred to.

Connecting uppers to insoles and soles; uppers; stiffeners.-A boot or shoe is constructed with a high - arched shank of great flexibility adapted to support the arch of the wearer's foot. The upper is cut to the shape shown in Fig. 6, and the two edges 13 are secured together after distorting the inside corner 11 to the position shown in dotted lines at 12. The inside of the upper opposite the shank has sewn to it, or is formed with, an extension 17 in which there are incisions 18. The upper is positioned on a crooked last 14, Fig. 5, having the inside of its shank hollowed out more than is usual, and is lasted over an insole 21, which, when tacked to the last, is distorted from the shape to which it is cut, shown in dotted lines, Fig. 7, to the shape shown in full lines. This distortion causes the inside of the shank portion of the insole to be sprung, and the fulness is worked down into the hollow of the shank of the last, to facilitate which, the outer face of the insole is chamfered off at the shank to a thin inner edge. The insole is furnished with a rih 22, Fig. 7. which extends from the heel seat on the outside edge to a point in advance of the shank on the inside edge. The extension 17 of the upper is spread out and lasted over the insole, as shown in Fig. 3, and a welt 27 is then positioned from the front of the extension 17 round the shoe to the heel seat, and is secured by stitches which also secure the inner edge 20 of the extension 17. After trimming and hammering, a filling- strip 29, Fig. 5, of thin canvas is secured to the outer face of the forepart of the insole, and an outer sole 30 is then applied. This outer sole is distorted similarly to the insole 21, and is chamfered off at the inside of the shank to facilitate buckling. The shoe is fitted with a counter-stiffener, which extends from the heel breast on the inside of the shoe to a point considerably beyond the heel breast on the outside of the shoe.
