Title: Apparatus for building endless flexible bands
IPC: B29D30/42
Filed: 1942-09-15
Abstract: 558,908. Building endless bands for pneumatic tyres &c. WINGFOOT CORPORATION. Sept. 15, 1942, No. 13008. Convention date, May 15 [Class 144 (i)] Apparatus for building endless flexible bands, particularly rubberized cord fabric bands for incorporation in pneumatic tyres comprises an endless flexible carrier around which the bands are built, a second endless carrier, means for driving one of the carriers in an endless path and means for effecting relative movement between the supports for the carriers to position the carriers in cooperating or non-co-operating relation to each other. The flexible band is built up on an elastic belt 64, Fig. 1, passing round two rollers 18, 30 driven from an electric motor 26. The roller 30 is carried by a swinging arm 32 which may be adjusted by means of a crank handle 54 and graduated scale 60 so as to vary the length of the endless band 64 and thus determine the circumferential length of the band to be built thereon. A length of band is fed over a shaft 82 on to the belt 64, and the operator steps on a treadle to start the motor 26. The end of the material is carried between the belt 64 and a second endless belt 100 back to the operator who folds the end over a roller 70 and joins the two ends together. After running the ply several times round on the belt 64 to remove wrinkles, the operator similarly adds one or more further plies and then by stepping on a treadle energizes a solenoid to release a safety catch and operates a fluid pressure motor to lower an assembly of loose stitching discs 132 into engagement with the built-up band. The motor 26 is also operated, and the band passes beneath the stitching discs to effect a stitching of the various plies intimately together. The operator now actuates a hand valve to operate fluid pressure motors 36, 110 thereby moving the swinging arm 32 to relax the belt 64, and lowering the belt 100 clear of the belt 64. The formed band may now be slid off, The roller 70 is adjustable in inclination to counteract the tendency of the plies to move laterally on the belt 64. In a .modification, Fig. 8, the belt 220 is supported by parallel links 226 which are actuated, to lower the belt, by a fluid pressure motor 236. The ply material is fed to the forming belt 206 from an endless belt 242 mounted on a wheeled structure which may be moved backwards and forwards to facilitate correct alignment and transfer of the ply material. Additional ply material may be supplied to the belt 206 from a let-off roll 250 by way of a positioning roll 254 movable up to the belt 206. The liner is wound up on a roll 252. The stitching discs 274 are lowered on to the assemblied plies (after removal of a safety catch 284) by a fluid pressure motor 278.

Abstract: 354,205. Boot - making machines. BRITISH UNITED SHOE MACHINERY CO., Ltd., Union Works, Belgrave Road, Leicester.-(United Shoe Machinery Corporation ; 140, Federal Street, Boston, U.S.A.) May 3, 1930, No. 13632. [Class 17 (i).] Removing shoes from lasts.-A roll 12 is rotated in contact with the counter of a shoe to remove it from its last. Means are provided for causing successive shoes to engage different portions of the roll. The last pin is inclined at about 5 degrees to the tangent of the operative part of the roll, and means are provided for maintaining this angle for different sized shoes. By reason of this angle, the thrust of the roll against the shoe has a component tending to urge the last on to the pin, so that the last is not forced off its pin. The roll 12 is of rubber and is driven by a worm 42 and a train of reducing gearing from an electric motor 20 which can be adjusted about an offset shaft 48 to allow different sized driving pinions 22 to be fitted to its armature shaft. The last pin 72 is vertically adjustable, its shank having rack teeth co-operating with a pinion 78 rotatable by a knurled head 82 normally urged inwardly by a spring and provided with a pin engaging any one of a series of holes for holding it in adjusted position. The pin is carried by a lever 70, mounted on trunnions on a sleeve 60 adjustable longitudinally of a sleeve 58 rotatable on a pin 56. The lever has an arm 90 connected by a link 106 having universal joints at its ends with a lever 102 connected by a link 100 adjustable in length with a treadle 94 urged upwardly by a spring 98. A pin 146 determines the upper position of the link 100, and, therefore, the position of the lever 70 when this is swung away from the machine by the spring 98. Alternatively, a sector 148 may be turned down to limit the rise of the treadle. To cause successive shoes to engage different parts of the roll a slot 110 in the lever 70 is engaged by a crank 120 carried by a shaft 116 moved by worm and wheel gearing for every rise of the link 100. The worm carries a ratchet wheel driven by a pawl actuated by a block 144 adjustable on the link. At the side of the roll are mounted a fixed knife for cutting the shoe laces and a fixed pin for use in removing the instep block of a solid last.
