Title: Improvements in Machines for Soldering Sheet Metal Vessels.
Inventor: BENNETT GEORGE HERBERT
IPC: B23K1/18
Filed: 1911-06-06
Granted: 1912-06-06
Abstract: 13,475. Bennett, G. H. June 6. Flat endless-band conveyers. - In a machine for soldering cans, the cans are traversed along a channel 25 formed between an adjustable plate 24 on an inclined table and an inclined bar 88 by a belt 39 pressed into contact with the cans bv rollers 75, 81 m o u n t e d in slotted plates 78, 79, the first roller 81 being of greater diameter than the others, so that, on each can passing underneath it, the belt is raised from contact with the succeeding can so as to stop momentarily the travel and so space the cans, when the rollers 75 maintain the cans at a uniform distance apart.

Title: Improvements in or relating to Measuring Tapes.
Inventor: BAIN ALEXANDER
IPC: G01B3/11
Filed: 1911-06-28
Granted: 1912-06-13
Abstract: 15,101. Bain, A. June 28. [Cognate Application, 26,071/11.] Measuring-tapes. -An ungraduated tape or wire is employed, passing over a measuring- wheel which actuates dials under normally fixed pointers, the pointers being slightly movable by gearing from an adjustable segment geared to the highest dial, in order to correct for wear of the measuring-wheel. The supply-reel 2 has a brake-wheel 29 with spring-pressed block 30 and a rewinding-wheel 15 turned by the usual winding-crank. A flared guide 11 leads the wire to the measuring-wheel 4 against which it is pressed by a wheel 5 held in a spring-pressed fork 6. A grip 21, operated by a lever and push-button 23, holds a wire while the measurement is read off. On rewinding the measuring- wire, the wheel 4 and the dials geared therewith are exactly reset by raising the pressure-wheel 5 out of gear and at the same time bringing a friction wheel 36 with externally-operated milled head into gear with the wheel 4 and setting this manually. The registering-dials are on hollow spindles at 50, 52, the highest being at 38 and gearing with a toothed segment 39 which carries an arc 41 in which slides a block 42 adjustable along the arc by means of a screw 44 and turn-button 46. The block is connected by a link 48 with a segment 49 gearing with the normally-fixed pointer of the lowest dial, and through a second segment 51 with the next dial. By this means, if the block 42 is at the centre of the arc 41, the rocking thereof does not affect the two fixed pointers, but if an adjustment is made to correct for wear of the wheel 4 a slight movement is proportionally given to the pointers of the two lower dials.

Granted: 1911-11-23
Abstract: 15,742. Hibner, De L. E. Nov. 15, 1910, [Convention date]. Cleaning, fluid-pressure processes for.-In a system, as described in Specifications 20,768/04 and 19,895/05, having main and branch pipes external to the boiler casing supplying fluid pressure to distributing-pipes placed among the boiler flues, automatic means are provided for preventing the formation of a vacuum in the branch pipes when the fluid pressure is cut off and the steam &c. condenses. Corrosion of the external pipes by the suction into them of furnace products is thereby prevented. The steam-pipe 6 supplies th external main 5 and branches 7 from which the internal perforated distributors 10 are supplied. Each distributor valve 19 has an offset 20 containing a valve 24, Fig. 3, which is closed on its seating when steam is admitted to the distributor, but allows air to enter through a port 26 when the contents of the distributor condense. A similarly-constructed valve 30 is placed in a draining-bend 29 placed in the main 5 between the distributors and the shut-off valve 18. This drains the system should the valve 18 be imperfectly closed or leaky.

Title: A New or Improved Apparatus for Cutting Out Blanks from Sheet Material.
Inventor: ROCHE THOMAS
IPC: A43D27/00
Filed: 1911-07-15
Granted: 1912-05-23
Abstract: 16,357. Roche, T. July 15. Cutting - out apparatus.- In machines for cutting-out sole blanks or ' casters,' the cutter is adjustable for cutting different sizes and shapes of blanks, and cuts out a pair of blanks at each operation. The cutter consists of two knives 4, 5 attached to carrier-bars 7, 8. These are secured by bolts 9 to a frame 3, which is preferably slidable upon uprights 14, and rests on springs surrounding the uprights. By means of slots 10, 11, 12, the knives are separately adjustable to vary the size and shape of the blank to be cut. As shown, the knife-bar 8 is adjustable laterally and longitudinally, and the bar 7 longitudinally only. A spring - controlled plate within each knife, or a single plate within the two knives, ejects the cut blank. After each cut, the material 13 is fed by hand through a distance equal to the width of two soles, so that a pair of blanks is cut at each operation. The material is guided laterally by plates 17 on slidable shanks 18, with adjustable collars 20 held against the frame 1 by springs 21. The guides 17 may have rollers on their faces, and may be coupled for simultaneous adjustment. The feed is limited by an end-stop 22, preferably curved, which is adjustable along a bar 23, and may be movable to allow delivery of the cut blanks. In the form shown, the bar 23 is mounted on slides 25 carried by the frame 1 and movable by means of a cross-bar 26. Adjustment of the stop 22 is effected by means of movable collars 27 on the slides 25. The stop 22 or the bar 23 may, alternatively, be carried by one or more pivoted levers, and actuated by hand or treadle. The cutting- block 2 may be adjustable to allow the wear to be distributed,
