Title: Improvements in Combined Branning and Polishing Machines.
Inventor: WILLIAMS THOMAS MORGAN
Filed: 1904-10-11
Granted: 1904-12-31
Abstract: 21,836. Williams, T. M. Oct. 11. Surfacing and polishing.-In a cleaning and polishing-machine, more particularly adapted for branning and polishing the surfaces of coated metal plates, rubber-covered carrying-rollers, driven at a low speed, are arranged to hold the plates in contact with felt-covered cleaning-rollers driven at a high speed. Each plate is first delivered to a pair of carrying-rollers 3, Fig. 3, and directed by guides 7 to a pair of cleaning- rollers 5 arranged one above the other and enclosed in a box 46 which contains cleaning-material. To prevent escape of material, the box is encased by a second box 51. The plate is then directed by a guide 48 to a second pair of carrying.rollers 9, arranged horizontally, and then to a second pair of cleaning-rollers 17 arranged horizontally inside a hopper-like box 10. The box is mounted immediately above the carrying-roller 9, and contains bran, sawdust, or other plate-cleaning material. A lid 12, hinged at 13, admits the cleaning-mixture, and a vertical, sliding plate 15 regulates the flow ; a door 14 closes the opening to admit a stirring-rod at the rear. Scrapers 16 are provided to remove any cleaning-mixture which may adhere to the rollers 9. The plate passes vertically through an opening 19 in a box to a third pair of. cleaning-rollers 20, and is then directed by an inclined guide 22 to an inclined table 23. A pair of carrying-rollers 24 and a pair of discharge cleaning-rollers 26 are arranged behind and on a level with the tops of the rollers 20. The plate on reaching the table 23 slides in a reversed direction and is discharged from the machine. In order to drive the rollers at different speeds, a. large sprocket driving-wheel 31, Fig. 1, is fixed at one end of a shaft 30, and small sprocket-wheels are fixed on the corresponding ends of the shafts 32, 33, 34 of the cleaning-rollers 17, 20, 26 respectively. An endless sprocket chain 35 is arranged to drive each pair of rollers in its proper direction. At the opposite end of the shaft 30 is fixed a small sprocket driving-wheel, and large sprocket-wheels are fixed on the corresponding ends of the shafts of the carrying-rollers. A similar chain 42 is arranged to drive these wheels and also a large sprocket wheel fixed on one of the shafts of the cleaning-rollers 5, Fig. 3. The chain 42 may be maintained in position by means of small idlers, one of which, if adjustable, also serves as a chain-tightener. As long as the plate is grasped by the carrying-rollers, it is moved forward at a low rate of speed. When the rear end of the plate is released by the rollers 3, the front end is grasped by the rollers 9, and so on. The cleaning-rollers, moving more rapidly, thereby subject the plate to a frictional wiping and cleaning.

Patent GB-190501691-A (GB)
Title: An Improved Safety Gear for Laundry and other Machinery.
Inventor: BELL FRANCIS JOSEPH
Filed: 1905-01-27
Granted: 1905-11-09
Abstract: 1691. Bell, F. J. Jan. 27. G u a r d s. - A safety device for use with mangling, wringing, ironing, calendering, carding, and similar machines comprises a board, which, when moved by contact with the operator's hand, severs a string, thus causing the release of a weight or spring which actuates a clutch or belt - fork. The chain j<2> supporting the weight h on the rod is held by a pivoted lever l which is connected by means of the cord m with the fixed extension l<1> of the rod j. The board o, extending the length of the rollers, when moved, causes the knife blade r to sever the string m, thus releasing the lever l and permitting the fall of the weight to actuate the clutch c through the medium of levers. A spring k prevents excessive concussion, the weight being hollowed out to receive it. In a modification, a spring is released by the cutting of the string, and the consequent movement of a slotted plate shifts the belt-fork. A slack chain connecting the chain j<2> with the clutch or fork may also be employed instead of the levers.

Granted: 1905-10-05
Abstract: 12,761. Lake, H. H., [Wentworth, S. J.]. June 20. Lasting.-Relates to a device for forming the heel-seat of a shoe by laying down the edge of the counter upon the last and hammering it to prevent the formation of wrinkles or puckers, all in one operation, thus avoiding the use of lasting-tacks. A number of curved blades 9, Fig. 5, which form the beating-irons, are bolted to the free ends of a series of flexible arms 8, the other ends of which are secured alternately right and left to flanges 6, 7 of a sleeve 5 mounted on a shaft 2 ; the flange 6 is formed integral with the sleeve, while the other is in the form of a screw collar. The tension of the arms 8 can be adjusted by means of sliding collars 12, 13. The blades 9 taper rearwards, and are inclined and alternately lapped past each other, as shown in Fig. 1, while the lugs 10 by which they are bolted to the arms 8 are placed back of the centre, to allow the forward ends to be depressed more than the rear ends. In using the device, the upper with its front portion lasted in the usual manner, and its counter standing upright, is presented with the point of the heel to the central portion of the revolving tool, and pressed back until the irons engage the entire heel surface. The inclined arrangement of the irons and their peculiar shape cause them to exert a series of rapid, drawing blows on the counter, and to wipe it over and hammer it down to conform exactly with the seat of the last. The irons are preferably heated, so as to dry the leather during the operation. Guard-rings 17, 18 are provided to protect the operator. The device can also be used for beating down the uneven bunches of material at the toe portion of the boot after lasting.

Cheese-cutters.-Portions of definite value are cut from cheeses of varying weights and prices by means of a knife 33, Fig. 1, carried in the slot 32 of a knife-frame 30, the cheese being carried on a wooden board 17 secured -to a rotary carrier 13, Figs. 3 and 5, which is turned by operating a hande 22. The latter moves over a vertical arc bar 20, between a fixed stop 21 and an adjustable stop 27, and turns a shaft 23, provided with a pinion 24, Fig. 5, gearing with a rack 26 on a ratchet-box 15, which turns the carrier 13. A spring 29, Fig. 3, holds the pawls to their work in an exact manner. In a modification, the pinion 24 gears with a rack on and directly drives the cheese carrier, clutch mechanism being situated on the shaft 23. The adjustable stop moves over a total-value scale, obtained by multiplying the weights of various cheeses by their prices, and it is set to feed forwards, at each operation of the handle, say twopennyworth of cheese. The arc bar may have a recess, in which is a coiled spring attached to the adjustable stop and furnished at even distances with three indicators for marking fractions of twopenny portions. A stop lever 35, 36, fitting in the milled edge of the cheese carrier, prevents the actuation of the latter until the knife 33 is raised, and, acting on the arm 36, raises the arm 35 of the lever.

Abstract: 26,497. Thomas, J., and Baxter's Leather Co. Dec. 19. Heels. - Relates to a machine for concaving the breasts of f heels. The heel A, Figs. 1 and 2, is laid on its side in an L- shaped holder g, and is clamped in position by an adjustable piece h, which is fitted to the upright arm g<1> of the holder, and a plate i, which is pivoted to the holder at i<1>. The piece h engages the heel seat, while the plate i bears against the bottom of the heel. The pressure of the plate i is regulated by a wedge j, which is actuated by a thumb-lever j<1>. An adjustable gauge i<4> is also provided for correctly positioning the heel. The holder g is provided with a depending bolt k, which passes through a circular slot f in a table e bolted to a bracket b and is secured to a handlever l. The lever is secured by a bolt and slot to a link l<1>, which is pivoted to an arm m screwed to the table e. By moving the lever l, the heel is caused to travel in a circular path past a vertically rotating cutter d mounted on a shaft d<1>, which has its bearings in the bracket b. An additional bolt k<1>, securing the outer end of the holder g to the lever l, gives greater rigidity, while a roller l<4> carried by the lever l ensures the easy movement of the holder g on the table. In a modification, Fig. 5, the lever l is made in one piece, and pivoted directly to the arm m, and is connected to the holder g by a pin . The holder carries two rollers p, which engage a camslot in the table e, and determine the movement of the heel. When it is only desired to curve the heel breasts inwardly, an horizontally revolving cutter is used instead of a vertically revolving one.
