Title: Improvements in Row Locks.
Inventor: MORLEY ARTHUR FENTON
IPC: B63H16/06
Filed: 1912-01-15
Granted: 1912-02-15
Abstract: 1093. Morley, A. F. Jan. 15. Rowlocks.-In a rowlock of the type in which the crutch is supported by means of a pillar on a ball joint, the pillar is provided with a flange or shoulder 4 which engages with a collar 7 mounted on the gunwale of the boat and thus limits the motion of the rowlock. The socket in which the ball end of the pillar is mounted is preferably constructed in three parts, a lower recess 5, and two upper plates 6. In order that the invention may be applied to boats of different freeboard, detachable collars 7 of various sizes are provided, to allow different inclinations of the rowlock. The oar is retained in the rowlock by means of a lever 12 hinged at 13 and passing through a slot in the other end of the rowlock, and held in position by a cotter 15 which passes through one of the holes 17.

Granted: 1913-01-09
Abstract: 1351. Brown, E. B. Jan. 17. Magnetic speed indicators with damping- devices. - In induction instruments, an armature having a squirrel - cage construction is rotated between the poles of a permanent magnet, and the resultant field within the armature produces a movement of an iron plate mounted on a spindle carrying the pointer. The magnet 3 is slidably adjustable with respect to the pole-pieces 2, between which is arranged the armature 9 consisting of rings 11, 13 connected together by bars fitting into notches in, but insulated from, a member 6 secured to the rotatable shaft 7. Within a cylinder 14 is a spindle 16 carrying an iron plate 18 and a pointer. A damping vane attached to the pointer works within an enclosure 21. Counterbalancing wires may be mounted on the pointer. Adjustable horns may be attached to the pole pieces to modify the intensity and direction of the magnetic field.

Granted: 1914-03-26
Abstract: 17,524. Soc. E. Cottard et Cie. July 3, [Convention date]. Lathes; screwing; chucks. - A machine for cutting metal turnings has means whereby several turnings are cut simultaneously, and means for traversing the bar past the cutters as well as rotating it. The bar 16 to be operated upon is first of all shaped longitudinally to have different-sized cylindrical ends 16, 18 and a conical centre 17. One end is then mounted in a headstock 2 having a rotary sleeve 3 with a ball-race at one end and a gripping-device 9 at the other end. This device consists of rollers 14 having cutting-edges which are adapted to grip the metal by conical sleeves 10, 11, Fig. 2, and rotate it. The other end is mounted in another headstock 25 having a rotary sleeve 24, which carries at one end a supporting-device 26, and at the other end a screwing-die and feeding nut. The supporting- device is similar to that previously described with the exception that the axes of the rollers are arranged longitudinally of the bar, and the edges of the rollers are rounded off to allow the bar to move axially past the rollers. The screwing dies 32<a> are mounted in a die body of any suitable construction, and the feeding-nut is formed in adjustable halves 33, 33<a> fixed in a recess in the head 27, which is rotated by a sprocket-wheel 2S from a shaft 8 at a different speed to the work-piece. The tools 20 are mounted along a generatrix of the conical surface 17 in a holder 19 adjustable to and from the work by a screw. During operation, the die cuts a screw-thread subsequently engaged by the feeding-nut 33, which thereafter causes the feed.

Abstract: 17,537. Bayly, J. P. July 31. Stays.-A hook- and-eye hinge for attaching stays or hooks to casements, cabin doors, &c. is constructed so that the eye - member can only be detached from the hook when the hook is detached from the surface of the casement &c. to which it is normally secured. The stay &c. C is provided with an eye B to engage the hook A secured to the casement &c., and the opening D of the hook is so placed that, to disconnect the stay it must be turned into the position shown in dotted lines in Fig. 4, which can only occur when the hook is detached from the casement &c. A groove E, Fig. 1, in the stay permits the opening D to be narrower than the thickness of the stay.

Title: Improvements in or relating to Umbrella Frames.
Inventor: SCHAAF WALTER
IPC: A45B25/14
Filed: 1913-08-11
Granted: 1914-03-05
Abstract: 18,266. Schaaf, W. Aug. 11. Opening and closing; holding open and closed; ribs and stretchers; runners. - In an umbrella arranged to open and close automatically, the operating-springs d inserted in the stretchers of the frame, Figs. 1 and 3, are attached to sliding bolts e, which in turn are connected by links m to a ring p on a runner slide a. Depression of a spring catch c allows the springs d to pull up the slide a and open the umbrella, a second spring catch f linked to an operating - ring n serving to hold the umbrella in this position. As the slide a arrives towards the end of its travel, an internal sleeve g comes into contact with a stop h and, moving over another sleeve k attached to the stretchers, removes the outwardly-sprung slotted lower end of this sleeve k out of engagement with a reinforcement l on the slide a, and thus allows the slide to travel until the sliding bolts e come into contact with the ends of rods o. These rods are jointed to the ribs in such a manner that the springs d through the bolts e exert a turning-movement tending to close the umbrella, this closure taking place when the catch f is operated to release the slide. In order to restore the original tension of the springs d, the handle part r is swung about its pivot 3 so as to pull down, by means of a linkage s, t, an internal tube u carrying the double-notched catch c. The slide a is thus lowered until its reinforcement l engages beneath the sleeve k, and the handle may then be returned to its normal position. A tip cup b is provided.

Title: Improvements in or relating to Rough-lasting or Pulling-over Machines for use in the Manufacture of Boots and Shoes.
Inventor: POCHIN FRANK HOWARD
IPC: A43D13/00

Granted: 1914-08-07
Abstract: 18,359. Pochin, F. H., and Pochin, H. S. Aug. 12. Pulling-over.-The last-supporting pin in a pulling-over machine is so supported that the last automatically places itself, under the initial pull of the pincers, in the correct position accordingly as a right or a left boot is being operated upon. The last pin 11 is carried by a support 13, also carrying the heel pad 12, which is pivoted at 15 to a bracket 14 carried by a plate capable of movement in a slide in the main frame and held in the adjusted position by a pawl 17. The side pincers 21, which are mounted on bars movable in pincer blocks 20 and also are provided with adjustable jaws, may be moved longitudinally of the last by screws 22 operated by hand-wheels 23. The pincer blocks are in two parts, the upper part being pivoted to the lower. The toe pincers 27 are similarly mounted, being adjustable if desired laterally to the last. One jaw of each pair of pincers may be so mounted that it will adjust itself to uneven thicknesses in the portion of upper gripped. A presser foot is provided to hold the last down against the stress of the pincers. The side pincers are lifted to give updraw by a cam 35 on the main shaft which operates through an adjustable cam roll 34, lever 32, link 37, bell-crank lever 38, 39 and a link 40. The updraw movement of the toe pincers is transmitted from the farther end of the lever 32 by adjustable links 42, 43 to the pincer block. The overdraw movement for the toe pincers is given by a cam-operated lever 51 carrying an adjustable stop 52 which engages the end of the pincer carrying bar. The side pincers are given overdraw movement by similar devices. In operation, the workman by depressing a treadle causes a slight amount of updraw to be given to the pincers ; this slight tension of the upper pulls the last into its correct position, the heel pad swinging with the last on the pivot 15. The upper is adjusted, a mirror M facilitating the adjustment, and the treadle is again depressed, the cams on the main shaft then giving the full updraw and overdraw movements to the pincers. The treadle may be released and the upper still held under tension by engaging a toothed wheel on the main shaft by a pawl. After the upper has been overdrawn, a wire 55 which can be strained by depressing a treadle 54 is placed in the crease at the toe, and the treadle is depressed. The operator adjusts the upper by hand pincers and then secures a binder of wire from a reel 57 round the toe. The pincers are preferably so shaped that the wire can be brought close to the forward jaws and so that the binder tacks can be driven through a taut part of the upper. Additional pincers may be provided to last the waist portion of the upper.
