Granted: 1910-10-06
Abstract: 24,898. Adkins, A. Oct. 29. Loose-nailing. -Nails to be driven in a predetermined a r r a n g ement in boot or shoe making or in b o xmaking machines arc delivered from a hopper 5, rocked by a cam 19 on a shaft 13, to a race 6. The points of the nails rest on a roughened plate 25, supported on rolls 26 and vibrated by the combined action of a spring 30 and a cam 31 on a block 29, carried by a bar 28 projecting from the plate. The nails are picked off by a rotary separator 7, Fig. 9, which is provided with a number of inclined passages 36 through which the nails pass, as shown, to fall through a guide-tube 38, Fig. 1, into an inverter 8. Any of the passages 36 m a y be closed by sliding plates 40. The nail inverter, which rotates with the separator, is provided with a number of chambers 44 for the nails, having spring-closed plates 46. The plates 46 are pressed back to admit or release the nails by cams 48 on the frame. The nails, on release, fall through a number of guide-tubes 51 into a carrier 10, Figs. 1 and 3. As the desired member of each row of openings 52 in the carrier 10 are charged with nails, the carrier is moved against a spring 71 along a slide 70 to bring the next row of openings below the guide tubes 51. After the carrier has been charged, the machine stops. The shaft 13 is driven from a constantly rotating shaft 77 through a worm wheel 32 having a mutilated portion which is arranged to come opposite the actuating worm after the carrier has been charged; at the same time, a spring-pressed lever 83 engages in a recess 85 on a counterbalanced wheel 21 carrying the cams 19, 72. The carrier 10 is then swung in its supporting arm 53 to a position over a nail receiver 2 by a knee-lever 55. As the carrier comes over the receiver, a stop on the frame engages a projection 67 on the bottom plate, and pushes the plate back until the nails can fall through openings 65 into guide tubes 69, whence they pass to the receiver. As the carrier swings back into its original position, it trips the lever 83, and the shaft 13 is rotated until the worm gears again by a weight on the wheel 21. To vary the arrangement of the nails, each opening in the carrier is provided with a bushing 91, which may be turned to bring its eccentric outlet part to correspond with any one of a number of openings in the bottom plate.

Title: Improvements in Line Spacing Mechanism for Typewriting Machines.
Inventor: KIDDER WELLINGTON PARKER
IPC: B41J19/76
Filed: 1909-11-15
Granted: 1910-11-10
Abstract: 26,479. Kidder, W. P. Nov. 15. Line-spacing mechanism.-The pawl 14 is pivoted on the spacing-lever 11, and is provided with a tail 16, which engages a fixed friction-surface 15. The pawl is normally free from the ratchet-wheel 6, but, when the lever is swung, the surface 15 causes a drag on the pawl, and tilts it into engagement with the wheel. Further movement of the lever causes the pawl to rotate the wheel, the movement being arrested by the curved end of the pawl engaging a fixed cam-stop 17. Further pressure on the lever then returns the carriage. When the lever is released, it is returned by a spring 25, and, during the initial movement, the pawl is swung clear by the surface 15 so that the pawl returns without clicking. The line-spacing is regulated by a stop 19 having steps 20 adapted to engage the tail 16 and thereby determine the point of initial engagement of the pawl and the wheel. The stop is pivoted on a stud 21 and may be adjusted by a knob 22 and looked by a pin 23 engaging cups 24. The adjustment of the stop determines the step which is to be engaged by the tail 16 when the pawl returns to normal position. The outward swing of the pawl is limited by the engagement of a nose 26 with the frame 2.
