Title: Improved Means of Attaching Sectional Blocks to the Rims of Road Vehicle Wheels.
Inventor: SMITH MICHAEL HOLROYD
IPC: B60C7/28
Filed: 1909-07-14
Granted: 1910-04-14
Abstract: 16,433. Smith, M. H., and Sgal, L. July 14. Air tubes and chambers; block tyres.-The beaded edges of solid or pneumatic block tyres are forced into the curved rim flanges by mechanical devices carried by each block, so that no holes need be bored in the rim. In the form shown in Figs. 2 and 3, wires a are embedded in the edges of each block, and parts of the edge are cut away so that the meeting ends of the wires, and in the case of a long block the centres of each wire, can be engaged by metal shoes c, d. A rod f, seated in the shoe c and screwing through the shoe d, passes transversely through or between the blocks, and is turned by a key to force the edges into the rim. In the form shown in Fig. 5, strips g are embedded in the block and formed with parts h, j engaged by the screwed rods. To facilitate the insertion of the strips, they are connected by parts k which are afterwards cut away. -In a modification, shown in Fig. 8, the strips g are formed with upstanding extensions m hinged together in the middle of the bluck and forced apart by a screw o. In the form shown in Fig. 7, the strips q are tapered and forced apart by tapered racks p engaged by a pinion s operated from the outside and through the centre of a block. In the case of a pneumatic block, Fig. 11, which is inflated before attachment, the expanding-device consists of a cam in the form of a disk o with a rim of increasing width, which slides on the squared part of a pin t and by rotation forces apart two plates s which engage strips g in the edges of the block. The cavity enclosing the device is stiffened by a metal strip n.

Title: Improvements in or relating to Machines for Compressing the Heels of Boots and Shoes.
IPC: A43D83/00
Filed: 1909-08-11
Granted: 1910-05-05
Abstract: 18,506. Gimson & Co., and Ferrabee, J. H. Aug. 11. Heels, machines for.-In machines for compressing heels after they have been nailed, but before they are attached to the boot &c., the mould is formed with a breast section 1, a rear section 2, and two side sections 3, which are capable of being moved inwards and outwards radially with respect to the centre of the heel, so that the pressure is applied directly to the corresponding surfaces of the heel, thus avoiding any creeping or rubbing action of the mould sections on the material. As shown, the side sections 3 are dovetailed to the carrier blocks 5, to which the necessary lateral movement is imparted by the usual toggle links d. The breast and rear sections 1, 2 are similarly dovetailed to the blocks 9, which are formed with inclined surfaces 10 adapted to be engaged by corresponding inclines 11 on the blocks 5, so that, as the latter blocks with the mould sections 3 are moved inwards by the links d, the blocks 9 with the sections 1, 2 are also moved inwards, perpendicularly to the direction of movement of the others. Springs 13 effect the retraction of the sections 1, 2, &c. The mechanism for feeding and discharging the heels is carried by the slide 16, which is reciprocated by a rocking-lever actuated by a cam on the countershaft of the machine. The heel to be compressed is placed between the lateral guides 18, and is pushed forward to the mould by the breast block 19, while, at the same time, the previously compressed heel is seized by the serrated jaws 21 of the pivoted fingers 17 and carried from the mould to a discharge chute &c. The guides 18 are adjustably mounted on the fingers 17, and the latter are mounted on adjustable pivots 28, to permit of adjustment for heels of different sizes. The adjustment of the pivots 28 is effected by means of the nut 30, which engages with the bolts 29 carrying the pivots, the pivots being mounted in slots in the bolts, under the control of springs, to avoid excessive gripping action in the case of a heel being jammed &c. At their rear ends, the fingers 17 are provided with studs 23, preferably having rollers, enagaging in the cam slots 24, 25. On the inward movement of the slide, the studs travel along the slots 24, which cause the guides 18 and jaws 21 to close in on the heels, so that the heel to be compressed is carried forward to the mould, and the previously compressed heel is carried away from the mould. At the end of the cam-slots 24, the rear ends of the fingers 17 are drawn towards each other by the spring 42, so that both heels are released, while the studs 23 enter the cam-slots 25 for the return movement, at the completion of which the studs pass spring-controlled gates 44 into the slots 24 again. The studs 23 are mounted under the control of springs so that they can be withdrawn from the cam-slots, to enable the fingers 17 to be turned aside when it is desired to change the mould sections.

Abstract: 23,079. Riley, W. J., [trading as Yote Manufacturing Co.]. Oct. 9. Winding-mechanism.-The pinion 15, which is loose on the driving-shaft 12, is always in mesh with the loosely-mounted spur-wheel 16 driving the shaft 6 of the take-up roller 4. The vertical spindle 33 is provided with arms 34, 35, which engage clutch - members 38, 39, sliding on keys attached to the shafts 12, 6, respectively. Before playing a tune the shaft 33 is rotated, causing the clutch-members 38, 39 to move to the left, so that the pins 26, 31 engage the pins 28, 32, respectively, clutching the pinion 15 and spur-wheel 16, to their shafts. At the same time, a brake 40 of the kind described in Specification 23,209/08, is applied to a disk 44 mounted on the shaft 8 of the music roll. To rewind the tune sheet, the spindle 33 is rotated in the opposite direction, de-clutching the spurwheels 15, 16, and causing a pin 27, on the clutch-member 38, to engage a pin 29 carried by the sprocket-wheel which is loosely mounted on the shaft 12, so that the music roll 3 is driven at high speed. Simultaneously, a brake 45 is applied to a disk 49 on the shaft of the take-up roll. Alternatively, the pinion 15 may be keyed to its shaft, and one of the clutch-devices may then be dispensed with. The shaft 8 of the music-roll may be driven by spur-wheels which are always in mesh, instead of by a chain and sprocket-wheels. Screws 9, 10, bearing against the ends of the spindles, are provided for the lateral adjustment of the tune-sheet.

Abstract: 7935. Fairweather, W., [Singer Manufacturing Co.]. April 1. Button - a t t a c h i n g machines; presser-jeet; stopping - gear, a u t omatic.-The presser-foot is provided with a device for holding shank buttons during sewing, and means are described for lifting the presser-foot automatically after a sewing operation. The operative portion 35, Figs. 1 and 3, of the presser-foot is provided with a U-shaped sheetmetal button shank guide 38 fitting in a slot in the presser-foot. The guide 38 has an upper lip 40 and a lower lip 39 closing the presser-foot slot, and the button head is held between these lips and a spring plate 51 fixed to the presserfoot. The upper member of the guide is formed with a closed needle aperture, while the lower member has an aperture leading outwardly to the edge of the lip 39, thus forming a button shank supporting tongue 45. A lever 53 pivoted on a screw 55 engages at one end with the button shank to lock it in position during a stitching operation, a spring 59 fixed to the lever 53 and to a hook 60 on a rigid arm 61 being provided to hold the lever 53 in this position. A detent lever 64 pivoted at its upper end to the frame is arranged so that its unnotched lower portion is clear of the tail of the lever 53 when the presserfoot is lowered on to the work, but when the presser is raised, the tail of the lever 63 is tilted by the unnotched portion of the lever 64 to release the button shank. When a fresh button is inserted, the lever 64 is moved sideways by a thumb-piece 67, the tail of the lever 53 enters into a notch in the lever 64, and the button shank is locked in position ready for the next stitching operation. The presser-bar is preferably lifted automatically by levers 79, 75, Fig. 1, engaging a lug 74 on a collar 30 on the bar.

Granted: 1911-08-29
Abstract: 20,119. Dawson, Sir A. T., and Horne, J. Aug. 29. [Cognate Application, 25,558/10.] Loading-appliances. - Relates to automatically-reversible chain and telescopic rammers, and consists in the provision in an hydraulic system, of a cut-off valve for controlling a reversing-ram, by which the withdrawal of the rammer is automatically effected at the end of the short powder-charge ramming - stroke. The operation of the reversing-mechanism is controlled by a device on the hand-lever of the main control valve, and by a part of the rammer when this has moved through a definite distance. The reversing- apparatus for a chain rammer is shown in Fig. 1. The main control valve C<Î> of the motor for driving the rammer D, D', is actuated by a hand-lever C through a rod c'. A small differential ram e<Î>, normally exposed to pressure on each face, is located in proximity to the free end E<1> of a lever E<2> connected to the valve-rod c<4>. The pressure on the right-hand face of the ram e<Î> is controlled by a cut-off valve D<Î>; the pressure fluid enters the valve cylinder by the pipe d<4>, and passes to the ram e<Î> by the pipe e. The valve D<Î> tends to move to the right, under the fluid pressure, so as to open the pipe e to the exhaust e<3>, but such movement is normally prevented by a bell-crank lever d<1>, one arm d<Î> of which is jointed to the stem of the valve D<Î>, and a second arm d<2> bears against the rammerchain D. A third arm D<3> on the lever d<1> rests upon a stop d<3> on a spring-controlled lever L<1>. When the rammer is to be automatically withdrawn, a sliding-rod c mounted on the handlever C is pressed down from an inoperative position into the position shown, so that when the lever C is rocked into the " ram " position, shown by the dotted line, the rod c acts through a lever L and rod d upon the lever L<1> and withdraws the stop d<3>. When, therefore, the end of the rammer-chain passes over the arm d<2> of the lever d<1>, the valve D<Î> is freed, and the pipe e is opened to exhaust. The pressure on the left-hand face of the ram e<Î> then becomes effective; the ram is moved to the right, and, acting upon the arm E<1> of the lever E<2>, reverses the valve C<Î> and throws back the handlever C. In one modification, the ram e<Î> and valve C<Î> are combined in one casing, and in a second modification, the stop controlled by the rod c acts upon the spindle of the ram e<Î> instead of upon the lever d'.
