Title: Improvements in or relating to machines for effecting relative movement between shoes and lasts
IPC: A43D3/12
Filed: 1946-07-12
Abstract: 614,363. Boot-making machines. BRITISH UNITED SHOE MACHINERY CO., Ltd. July 12, 1946. No. 20844. Convention date, July 14, 1945. [Class 17 (i)] Putting shoes on lasts.-A machine with a driven friction tool and a last-support mounted on a treadle-operated carrier, by which an operator can bring the bottom of a shoe on a last on its support into engagement with the tool, is adapted to urge a shoe further on a last and, to facilitate manipulation of the shoe relatively to the tool, the support is pivotally mounted for movement about an axis approximately parallel to the lengthwise axis of the shoe bottom at the part engageable with the tool. It may also be pivoted about an axis perpendicular to the general plane of the shoe bottom through the centre forepart. The invention is described in relation to a machine generally similar to that described in Specification 406,335 and wherein a shoe S, Fig. 1, to be forced on a last L is supported on a block 24 mounted on a rod 98 in the upper end of a treadle-operated lever 68 so as to be movable against a rubber belt 20, which, on contacting a continuously driven roll 32, moves the shoe bottom relatively to the last L. In the form shown, the last support, comprising a last pin 22 and a block 24, is mounted on the carrier provided by an arm 68 and the pin 22 is engaged in a thimble in the last L. The rod 98 on the upper end of which the block 24 is pivotally supported for movement round an axis parallel to the longitudinal axis at the side of the centre support is vertically adjustable in the upper and of the lever 68. The block 24 is also pivotally mounted on a pin 112 in an extension 110 from the sleeve 106 by which the block is pivotally mounted on the rod 98, the axis of the pin 112 passing through the centre forepart of the sole and at right angles to it. The top of the forepart of the last L engages an abutment formed by a leather pad in the base of a channelshaped portion on the face of the carrier 24, the opposite sides of the top forepart of the last engaging the side walls 28 of the channel portion to prevent rotation of the last L on its pin 22. An upright pin is provided on the machine frame, and on this the last may be supported while the shoe is being adjusted on the last before transfer to the last pin 22. In a modification, for use where the type of shoe is such that it can best be operated on with the last in broken or collapsed condition, the last pin 132, Fig. 5, extends upwardly from a block 130 mounted on an extension 110 in manner similar to the block 24 but at a greater inclination. A pair of ears 134 extending from the block 130 and engaging the upper portion of the cone of the last rearward of the pin prevents rotation of the last L<1> on its pin.

Abstract: 1,165,796. Looms. L. R. WELLMAN. 4 May, 1967 [12 May, 1966], No. 20857/67. Heading D1E. A method of weaving comprises continuously supplying a succession of transversely arranged threads, conveying these threads in a direction normal to their length, separating them at intervals to form successive sheds and introducing successively longitudinal threads into the sheds of the transverse threads whereby the longitudinal threads are interwoven with the transverse threads. Apparatus for carrying out this method comprises on each side of the machine upper and lower conveyor belts 10 passing over rolls 12 at the ends of the machine. These belts are adapted to pick up transverse threads 14 from feeders 16 and carry them in an undulating path provided by succession of guide and transfer pulleys 24, 26 along the length of the machine. At each pair of transfer pulleys 26 the upper threads are transferred to the lower belt and vice versa and in the shed formed in front of each pair of said pulleys a longitudinal thread 30 (Fig. 2) is inserted from a guide tube 40 (Fig. 5) which becomes inter-woven with the transverse threads 14 so that the fabric is progressively built up as it passes along the length of the machine. The fabric is maintained in a plane at its centre line by a pair of guide rods 38 (Fig. 4) extending along the machine and at each shed a longitudinal thread is fed from each side of the machine to build up the fabric from the centre as shown in Fig. 2. The transverse threads are held by hooks at their ends which engage in slots in the belts 10 and the transfer pulleys 26 include cam devices which push the hooks from one belt into the slots of the other and vice versa. The longitudinal threads 30 may be blown through the tubes 40 or mechanical feed means may be employed. Suitable apparatus is provided for supplying the transverse threads 14 of cut length to the machine.

IPC: B64C3/50
Filed: 1937-07-29
Abstract: 499,833. Aircraft controls. TAMPIER, R. July 29, 1937, No. 21016. [Class 4] The contour of aerofoils, control surfaces and the like, which comprise three or more parts hingeably connected together in tandem, is varied by means for commonly operating two or more of the hinge connections and including axially slidable members which move along the respective hinge axis, the mechanism being unaffected by normal operation of the control surfaces and the like. Alternatively an axially slidable member is movable along one hinge axis, the movement being transmitted to each succeeding hinge. In one form, a wing comprises parts 1 and an aileron coupling parts 2, 3, 4. Axial movement of a rod 5 moves a ball-joint 9 along the hinge axis 10 and, through bell-crank levers 16, 17 and links 20, 19, 18, moves a rack 11 to rotate a pinion 13 and a worm wheel coacts with arms 14 secured to and which move the part 3. Control movement is similarly transmitted to the part 4. Means may be provided whereby the parts 3, 4 are moved after the aileron 2 has been moved through a predetermined angle. In a modification, two movable parts of awing, one part of which includes an auxiliary moving surface, are connected to a fixed spar and are operated by devices similar to the devices 12. The two parts of the wing are operated simultaneously through different angles and the auxiliary surface is operated independently by mechanism similar to that described for the part 3. In a further modification, the wings are hingedly divided along their length, the top portions being hingeably connected to portions fixed to the fuselage. The tip portions are foldable on operation of devices similar to the device 12 which are operated concurrently. The devices 12 may be constructed in the manner described in Specification 496,875.

Title: Improvements in or relating to time alarms and indicators
IPC: G04F3/04
Filed: 1921-08-10
Abstract: 187,746. Miles, F. Aug. 10, 1921. Alarm mechanism; short-time movements; winding-apparatus, hard; keys, - Relates to alarms for indicating intervals of time of the type in which two independent springs actuate visible and audible indicating means. A pointer 2 adapted to move over a scale 1 is attached to a bush 5 carrying a toothed wheel 6 and mounted on a spindle 7 which spindle also carries an alarm spring 8 and a spring 11. The spindle 7 and bush 5 carry stops 9, 10 so arranged that when the key, Fig. 4, is placed on the spindle and turned it engages the stop 9 before the stop 10 and so winds the spring 8 ahead of the spring 11. The action of winding the spring 11 moves the pointer 2 to the desired marking on the scale 1. As soon as the key is removed the pointer is moved back by spring 8 under the control of the escapement wheel 17 governed by an escapement lever 20 oscillated bv a rod 21 attached to a suitable part 22 of a separate clock. When the pointer reaches zero a projection 23, on the toothed wheel 6 pushes a loosely pivoted arm 13 out of engagement with the alarm gong lever 15 and allows the alarm to be operated by spring 8. The wheel 17 carries staggered teeth 18 which are bevelled so that when the spring 11 is being wound the teeth 18 displace a bevel tooth 19 on the escapement lever 20 but when the spring is unwinding the wheel returns tooth by tooth as the lever 20 rocks. The rotation of the wheel 17 is arrested by the engagement of a pin 24 with the arm 13 when the latter is pushed out of engagement with the lever 15. Also by means of this pin the escapement wheel is held in such a position that the lever 20 rocks without coming into contact with the teeth 18 so that the clock may continue to work although the escapement wheel has stopped. The apparatus may be used for long or short intervals of time according to the part of the clock to which the rod 21 is attached.

Title: Bleaching formulation
IPC: C11D7/54
Filed: 1974-05-15
Abstract: 1476682 Coated bleaching formulations P P G INDUSTRIES INC 15 May 1974 [16 May 1973] 21462/74 Heading B2E [Also in Divisions B8 and D1] A bleaching formulation is in the form of an encapsulated core wherein the core comprises particles of a solid organic per acid in admixture with particles of a dispersing agent substantially more water-soluble than the organic per acid, the core being substantially completely encapsulated with a water dispersable material comprising a hydrated or non- hydratable inorganic salt and capable, in the absence of the free water, of preventing contact of the per acid with substances such as alkali capable of causing its decomposition. The dispersing agent may be the same as or different from the encapsulating material, but is in general of weakly basic or acidic character. It may be a hydrated or non-hydratable organic or inorganic salt, a double salt or an organic acid which may also function as a sequestering agent and detergent builder, many suitable substances being specified. A hydrated salt if used is preferably such as to give up at least part of its water of hydration below 150‹C and is preferably present in an amount sufficient to provide at least 0.1 part by weight of water of hydration per part by weight of the organic per acid. Specified encapsulating materials include sodium phosphate, sodium sulphate, magnesium sulphate, magnesium ammonium sulphate, sodium aluminium sulphate, potassium aluminium sulphate, ammonium aluminium sulphate, aluminium nitrate, aluminium sulphate, and aluminium magnesium nitrate, in hydrated form. Non-hydratable salts which may be used in the encapsulating materials include potassium sulphate, potassium hydrogen sulphate, potassium dihydrogen phosphate, sodium nitrate and ammonium acid sulphate. A binding agent capable of forming a gel with water, e.g. magnesium aluminium silicate, polyvinyl alcohol, soluble starch, hydroxypropyl cellulose, hydroxyethyl cellulose, polyvinyl pyrrolidone, casein, zein or agar, may be mixed with the encapsulating salt to provide a cohesive coating. Many per acids are specified, but diperisophthalic acid is preferred. The encapsulated core is preferably substantially spherical and ranges in size from 0.1 to 5 mm in diameter. The cores may be prepared by blending the dispersing agent with an aqueous slurry of the per acid, freezing the mixture into a thin sheet and breaking the sheet into particles of the desired size or by feeding the slurry through an atomising device and freezing the liquid droplets as they are formed. Alternatively die extrusion or pelletising techniques may be used. The core particles are then encapsulated in a static or fluidised bed.
