Title: Hand Operated Doffing Mechanism for Spinning Frames.
Inventor: IE NORMAN ROBERT NEWSHO
IPC: D01H9/04
Filed: 1911-03-30
Granted: 1911-09-28
Abstract: 7952. Newsholme, N. R. March 30. Doffing-arrangements. - Relates to a handoperated doffing-mechanism embodying some of the means and apparatus of the power doffing- mechanism described in Specifications 21,697/07 and 5135/09. A bar F, which is advanced and retracted by a rack and pinion F<2>, carries flyer holders D, flyer steadiers or distance pieces D<1>, depending pegs V for engaging the bores of the bobbins, and a tray T for supporting the bobbins. The pinion F<2> is operated by a handle, which engages notches on both sides of a fixed disk to determine the successive positions of the apparatus carried by the bar F. Worm-wheels W<1>, mounted on a shaft actuated by the loose pulley, are slid into engagement with worms on the spindle, so that the flyers are unscrewed when they are held by their holders. The spindle rails are lowered to move the spindles clear of the pegs V by a rack and pinion S<7> operated by a wheel S", and the lifter rail L is raised by a handle so that the pegs V enter the bore of the bobbins. During the descent of the spindle rails a cam thereon disconnects the worm wheels W<1>. As the lifter rail rises, it is tilted by a stop R on the bar F, and engages a stop E, and thus releases the tray T, which swings forward beneath the bobbins. When the operating-handle is released, the lifter rail falls, leaving the bobbins supported by the tray T and pegs V. The spindles are further lowered until they are clear of the bobbins, which are then advanced over the pegs O<1> and are deposited thereon by reason of an arm O<2> withdrawing the tray and causing it again to be locked by the stop E. The bar F is retracted, and a peg rail, carrying empty bobbins, is raised so as to enter the bobbins on the pegs V and to release the tray, which, as before, swings beneath the bobbins. When the bobbins are above the spindles, the tray is withdrawn by reason of an arm T<3> attached thereto engaging a stop T<4>. The spindles and lifter plate are raised, the machine is temporarily started to screw the flyers into position and to wind a few turns around the bobbins, and the yarn is severed by a sliding cutter-bar N.

Title: Improvements in or relating to Pulling-over or like Machines.
Inventor: BOULT ALFRED JULIUS
IPC: A43D13/00
Filed: 1912-03-13
Granted: 1913-03-13
Abstract: 6302. Boult, A. J., [United Shoe Machinery Co.]. March 13. Lasting.-Pulling-over or like machines are provided with improved means for indicating the relation of the tip line of the upper to the last. The invention is shown as applied to the pulling - over machine described in Specification 12,304/03, and comprises tip gauges in the form of triangular bars 25, Fig. 1, pivoted to rack bars 24, which are adapted to telescope into tubes 20 adjustably mounted in forwardlyextending arms of overlapping bell-cranks 10. These bell - cranks are engaged by a pivot bolt 8 rising from a block 5, Fig. 2, which is adapted to slide in a bracket 4 forming part of the ordinary heel - rest 2. The gauges are normally held in an advanced position by springs housed in the tube 20, and in an open position away from the shoe by spring plungers 12, which press against the bell-cranks 10 and cause them to fulcrum against studs 13 rising from the bracket 4. When the heel rest 2 is advanced into engagement with the shoe, a feeler 6 carried by the slide block 5 engages the heel face and is forced rearward, causing the bellcrank 10 to swing about the pins 13 and carry the gauges into contact with the shoe while the pincers are pulling the upper. During the usual dwell in the operation of the machine, the gauges assist the operator in correctly adjusting the shoe about the last. When the machine is re-started, the gauges are automatically withdrawn by the engagement of each of the arms 40, which carry the usual side clamps, with spring-pressed slides projecting from a toothed block 32, which acts through a pinion 34 and segment 35 on the rack-bar 24. Fig. 6 illustrates another construction in which a two-part gauge, comprising adjustable members 84 having concave upper edges, is supported by an arm 65 projecting at right-angles from a rod 64, which extends adjustably into a tubular member 63. This member is provided with a bolt 61 extending through a bracket 78, to which is secured a curved slide 79 adjustably secured in an arc-shaped guideway 80 in the heel rest; a spring 61* surrounding the bolt 61 serves to maintain the gauge raised against the shoe after it has been lifted by the operator.

Title: Improvements in Bifocal Spectacle Lenses.
Inventor: JAMESON ALEXANDER
IPC: G02C7/06
Filed: 1912-04-29
Granted: 1913-04-24
Abstract: 10,129. Jameson, A. April 29. Spectacle lenses.-In a bifocal, cylindrical, or toric spectacle lens for the correction of astigmatisms, an insertion D, Fig. 1, of dense glass is made at the astigmatic surface B, and a spherical depression C of the same size and shape is made at the spherical surface of the lens to reduce excess spherical power. This insertion or wafer has the same curvature as the external astigmatic curvature of the lens. The spherical depression C may be filled by glass having a lower index of refraction than that of the spectacle lens. The excess spherical power occasioned by the convex spherical curve A given to the wafer can be reduced or avoided by fusing or cementing it into a cylindrically curved depression, and by so choosing the index of refraction of the glass wafer that the added cylindrical effect may be divided between the outer and inner surface of the wafer. If the seating of the wafer is made cylindrical or toric, the lens is applicable to the correction of astigmatic presbyopes, provided that the cylindrical curvature of the seating be made at right-angles to the convex surface of the lens so that the two cylindrical powers may act together to produce a spherical power. A stopper or plug A, Fig. 2, of high refractive index may be inserted instead of the wafer and serves to increase the cylindricity of the reading portion of a deep periscopic toric lens, the concave surface A compensating for increase of spherical power at the toric surface B. In manufacture, the lens blank A, F, Fig. 3, may be made large enough to provide for making both lenses at one operation, the blank being cut across at the line D-D after the insertion E E has been made. A larger number of bifocal blanks may be made in the form of an annulas which may be cut up radially. For the modification of prismatic power and to correct errors in centration without introducing a spherical effect, a supplementary lens may be inserted in a manner similar to that already described. A compound lens may he inserted in stopper form, the lenses forming the compound stopper A B, Fig. 6, being decentred before being fused together.
