Title: Improvements in Means for Fastening the Lacing Flies of Shoe Uppers During Manufacture.
Inventor: BERGERON MICHEL
IPC: A43D11/10
Filed: 1909-03-09
Granted: 1909-05-27
Abstract: 5707. Bergeron, M. March 14, 1908, [Convention date]. Hook fastenings.-A fastener for securing the lacing-flies of shoe uppers during lasting is made adjustable to suit variations in the spacing of the eyelets in different shoes, and is also adaptable to different widths of the front opening, as in the case of a turn-shoe before and after it is turned. As shown in Fig. 4, the fastener is made of two wires a, b having fingers a<2>, a<3>, b<2>, b<3> for engaging the eyelets, the bodies a<1>, b<1> of the two parts being looped together, as shown, so as to be capable of sliding adjustment. The fingers b<2>, b<3> are merely bent to form hooks for engagement with the lower eyelets, while the fingers a<2>, a<3> are formed as spirals, thus providing engaging shoulders a<5>, a<6>, at different distances apart, for the upper eyelets. Additional spiral fingers c<1> may be slidably mounted on the body a'. Fig. 3 shows the fastener applied to a turn-shoe before it is turned. After the first lasting, the fingers a', a<3>, c' are disengaged, and the shoe is turned with the fingers b<2>, b<3> still engaged. The fingers a<2>, a<3>, c<1> are re-engaged prior to the re-lasting, and in this case the upper eyelets engage with the shoulders a<6>, owing to the space taken up by the inner sole and shank piece. The spirals a', a<3> are right and left handed, for engaging the right and left fly respectively, this engagement being reversed when the shoe is turned. In a modification which permits the right-handed spiral to be engaged with the left-fly, and vice versa, both before and after the shoe is turned, the parts a<1>, b<1> are connected so that the part a' can be rotated through half a revolution from its position during the first lasting, before re-engaging it with the turned shoe.

Title: An Improved Process for the Production of Iron or Steel Direct from Iron Ore.
Inventor: HARGREAVES WILLIAM ARTHUR
IPC: C21B15/02
Filed: 1909-08-09
Granted: 1910-04-21
Abstract: 18,349. Hargreaves, W. A. Aug. 9. No Patent granted (Sealing fee not paid). Thermo-aluminic and like mixtures.-Finelydivided aluminium is used as the reducing-agent in the production of iron and steel direct from the ore. The ore is ground to a fineness corresponding to the range between an eighteen-mesh and a ninety-mesh sieve before admixture with the aluminium, and, if additional heat is required, a quantity of the ground ore passing the ninety-mesh sieve may be mixed with that of a coarser grade. The reaction may be started by the use of finely-divided aluminium in admixture with barium dioxide. The quality of the steel may be regulated by the addition of ferromanganese or spiegel prior to, or during, the reaction; and iron or steel scrap may be added to the charge to utilize any excess heat. Reference has been directed by the Comptroller to Specifications 27,625/96, [Class 83, Metals, Cutting &c.], 22,294/02, 28,757/04, [Class 83, Metals, Cutting &c.], 788/06, and 28,361/06.

Title: Improvements in and relating to Polyphase Alternating Current Commutator Machines.
IPC: H02K27/02
Filed: 1909-11-10
Granted: 1910-05-19
Abstract: 26,046. Allgemeine Elektricitõts-Ges. Nov. 11, 1908, [Convention date]. A l t e r n a t i n g - current commutator machines ; commutating - windings.- In polyphase alternating - c u r r e n t machines having independent stator and rotor windings without series connexion, the commutating-windings in each p h a s e are arranged respectively to produce reversing - poles at regions between the other phases. Thus, in the three- or six-phase machine shown, the commutating-coils h<1>, h<4> consists of turns of phase III, and are placed opposite the junctions of phases I and II. The commutating-windings may be accommodated by increasing the size of the slots at the reversing- points, by increasing the number of slots at these points, or by altering the number or sectional area of the phase conductors. Alternatively, instead of winding conductors of one phase at points between two other phases, the winding pitch of adjacent phases may be altered at the reversing-points so as to produce a field having a component in phase with the field of the remaining phase and thus acting as a commutating-field.

Abstract: 15,488. Grosser, J., and Fleischer, J. June 28. Gas-stoves; heat-radiators.-A gas-stove comprises a row of elements each consisting of two concentric star-section tubes 1, 2, and a cylindrical tube 5, shown in section in Fig. 2, above a gas burner 8. The combustion products rise partly through an induction nozzle 10, at the lower end of each tube 2, but principally through the flues formed by the deep rays of the tubes 1 and the shallower rays of the tubes 2. After descending the tubes 2, they rise again in the cylindrical tubes 5 to the upper part of the stove, which contains fire-clay and like blocks 20 or the like for drying the gases. A flap 13 prevents downdraughts from passing into the tubes 1, 2, &c., and deflects them through the pipe 14 into the base a of the stove; they then blow open the flap 18, and escape through the pipe 19 to the open air. Condensation water collects in the chamber 21, which is provided with an overflow 22 and a drain cock 23. The damper 26 and the gas cock are on the same spindle.

Granted: 1911-03-02
Abstract: 25,492. Boult, A. J., [Larsen, I.]. Nov. 2. Cam-actuated revolving-cylinder pumps in series. - A multiple - delivery lubricator for motor-vehicles &c. has two pumps, of which one forces oil to a number of sight-feeds in succession, and the other forces the oil coming from the sight-feeds to the delivery pipes. The pumps are mounted on a cylinder C which rotates around a stationary cylinder B formed with inlet and outlet ducts for the two pumps, the whole being enclosed in a casing 1 supplied with oil through a pipe 3. The cylinder B is fixed by a screw 24 to a removable top plate 2. The pump D has a port 54, which passes over inlet and delivery passages 33, 34 in the cylinder B. The delivery passages terminate in drip-sight feeds 34<b>, which are mounted on the top plate 2 of the casing 1, and are enclosed in a transparent chamber 38, 39. A pump E, Fig. 2, similar to the pump D but inverted, receives the oil from the sight-feeds and forces it in succession through passages 36, 36<a> to outlet pipes 36<b>, which pass upwards through the transparent chamber 38, 39. The pump D is operated by adjustable cams 12 on the cover 2, and the pump E, which is of greater capacity than the pump D, is operated by non-adjustable cams 28 mounted on a flange 27 on the stationary cylinder B. Each cam 12 screws into the cover 2 and is operated by a stem passing into a hollow nut 17, which compresses packing around the stem. Stops limit the adjustment of the cams. The supporting - bracket for the casing 1 consists of a divided clamping-ring 5 secured to a base, in which the casing is rotatably adjustable. A flange 8 on the casing rests on the clamping-ring. Each pump piston 45 has a stem 46, surrounded by a spring 50 for effecting the return stroke, and fitted with a roller 49, which rolls over the surface of the top-plate 2, or of the flange 27, and engages the cams. A sleeve 47 connected to the stem 46 moves in a guide 48, and rotation is prevented by a key 52 engaging a slot 53 in the sleeve. The cylinder C is rotated by a worm 62 and a worm-wheel 43. The worm-shaft 63, Fig. 2, is journaled in a sleeve 64, which is reversibly mounted in a boss 65 on the casing. A flange 67 on the sleeve and a screwed cap 69 engage similar seatings at the ends of the boss 65. End movement of the shaft 63 is prevented by a thrust collar 66 and an extension 70 of the cap 69. In a modification, the delivery pipes 36, 36b from the pump E pass downwards through the floor of the casing 1. Each delivery pipe is in the plane of one of the passages 33, and passes vertically through the passage, which is enlarged to receive it; an annular groove is formed also on the exterior of the pipe at that point. The sight-tubes 34b are enclosed in a transparent dome held by a nut on a reduced upward extension of the screw 24.
