Title: Improvements in Heel-breasting Machines for use in the Manufacture of Boots and Shoes.
Filed: 1899-11-14
Granted: 1900-11-14
Abstract: 22,716. Lake, H. H., [McKay Shoe Machinery Co.]. Nov. 14. Paring heels. Relates to heel-breasting machines. The boot or shoe to be operated on is jacked against an adjustable plate k by the devices shown in Fig. 3. A hand-wheel o<1> rotates a cam bearing on a roller in the forked end of the plunger o<6>, to which is pivoted a. piece o<8> bearing on the last. The plunger moves in a bracket secured to the base a by a screw. The meeting faces of the base and bracket are serrated, and the hole in the base for the screw is elongated to allow of adjustment. The plate k is hinged at k<1> and is held at the desired inclination by a link k<4> secured to the base by a screw. The plate is slotted for the passage of the knife f, and its upper end is flanged to receive the base of a pillar k<8> carrying a toegauge for wide-toed shoes. The shoe is centered by a pair of levers l, l, Fig. 5, having inwardlyprojecting toothed arms l<2> which gear with one another so that the two levers move together. One lever is secured to a stud l<4>, and the other is loosely mounted on a stud l<3>. Both studs pass through slots in the plate k into a bar m, Fig. 6, made with a vertical rib fitting a slot k<10> in the said plate. The upper ends of the levers carry rollers l<8> moving in a groove in a bar n which is also guided by the slot k<10> and can be adjusted as to height by a screw n<2>, Fig. 5. These levers are moved out of the way of the approaching knife against the pull of the spring l<9> by the rotation of an arm p fixed to the stud l<4>. The slide e, Fig. 17, carrying the knife, has a roller p<3> which rocks a lever p<1> engaging the arm p. The knife is secured in the carrier e, Fig. 3, by a screw e<3>, and is adjusted by a screw f<1>. The slide is connected to the eccentric-rod c<2>, which actuates it, by a link g. The pin g<2> coupling the rod and link carries a roller g<3> engaging a groove in a slide h, which is pulled in one direction by a spring i, Fig. 12, and in the other by the roller. As the knife moves forward, the slide also moves in the same direction under the action of the spring, and the roller g<3> remains in the position shown in Fig. 12. When, however, a gauge, in line with the cutting-edge of the knife, strikes the sole, the slide h is arrested and the roller moves upwards, so that the movement of the knife ceases and the sole is uninjured. The machine is started by a treadle operating a clutch, and on the completion of a revolution the clutch is automatically thrown out and the machine stopped by a brake. In a modified form of machine, the knife has a constant throw, and the boot is moved up against an adjustable bunter or gauge to determine the depth of cut.

Title: Improvements in Steam Generators.
Inventor: PARKER JOHN CLINTON
Filed: 1901-01-08
Granted: 1901-11-16
Abstract: 535. Parker, J. C. Jan. 8. Water-tube boilers.-Fig.1 shows a longitudinal section of a boiler in which the steam and water chambers are in a single drum divided by a diaphragm b. Separate drums may equally well be used. These drums are in all cases lower at one end, to facilitate drainage. The steam and water chambers communicate through an opening, which, in the example shown, is fitted with a hinged valve 26 ; a lift valve may, however, be used. They also commanicate through a pipe 37 fitted with a hand regulating-valve. Should the valve 26 be closed through a sudden decrease of pressure in the steam chamber, the pipe 37 allows steam to pass up from the water chamber, so that the water level is not effected. After closing the hand-valve, the water tubes may be flushed by lifting the safety-valve or otherwise lowering the pressure in the steam chamber. c is a plate on which mud is deposited and which can be cleaned through a hand-hole. Means may be fitted for blowing-off the mud. d is a space left to allow the junction boxes to be raised when a tube is to be removed. The tubes may be connected to the water chamber directly, or by cross-boxes 23, and to the steam chamber by a header i and up-cast pipes 31, or by elbow-joints and vertical pipes leading into a cross-box on the end of the steam chamber. Check valves, placed at any preferred places, prevent the water from returning from the tubes into the water chamber. The feedwater is supplied to the header 23, or into the water chamber. Fig. 13 shows a vertical section of a junction box connecting the upper end of a tube to the cross-box or header 23. It is connected by a thimble 81 to the header, and has a projection 80, through which passes a spindle carrying a check-valve 78 bearing on the end of the thimble. The water tube 30 is secured in an opening below the thimble 81. The handholes are smaller than the tube-holes, so that their covers can be introduced through the latter. These covers are ground on to seats round the handholes, and are secured by T-headed bolts and spiders. They may be flattened at two opposite points, and the holes may be similarly notched to enable them to be removed through the handholes. The body of the box is of a cross-section equal to that of the water tube, and the flange 91 is reduced as at 76, Fig. 9, to allow the tubes to be cleaned. Similar junction boxes, without check valves, are used to connect the ends of the tubes. As shown in Fig. 1, the upper inclined tube is connected by a vertically-placed box to one of a pair of parallel tubes, connected at their front ends by a horizontal box. The other of the pair is connected by a vertical box to one of the lower pair and so on. The total length of each element is such that the water is entirely evaporated so that the upcasts contain steam only.
