Title: Improvements in Copying Lathes.
Inventor: BOSTOCK EDWIN
IPC: B27M3/20
Filed: 1909-11-30
Granted: 1910-09-08
Abstract: 27,973. Bostock, E. Nov. 30. Lathes. - A copying-lathe applicable to the manufacture of lasts for boots and shoes has means for varying the cross-sectional shape of the work without altering the model. The lathe is of the type in which the work and model are rotatably mounted on a swinging frame, and in which the cutter head and guide-wheel can be traversed at different speeds along the bed of the machine, the guide-wheel being transversely adjustable. To vary the shape of the work from the model, a cam j preferably mounted on the swinging frame transmits by adjustable links j<3>, j<4>, h<2> and a plate H a differential motion to the guide-wheel slide d<1>.

Abstract: 28,510. Oates, F. Dec. 7. [Cognate Application, 5462/10.] Ironing - m a - chines with endless aprons.-The goods are pressed and finished by passing them between two preferably endless aprons round a series of rollers, of which some of the foremost are heated and some of the farther rollers cool or cooled, the pressure exerted on the goods being given by the tension placed upon the aprons. The farther rollers may be smaller to give increased pressure, which may be obtained by positively driving some rollers and retarding others or rotating the others from the aprons. The goods are led between aprons a, b subject to nip-rollers e, the pressure of which is regulated by a weighted lever f. They then pass between large heated rollers j ... j<7> and smaller heated rollers k ... k<4>, and then between rollers k<5> ... k<10>, which are either at ordinary temperature or are cooled. They are then led out between further nip rollers e, the aprons passing back over guiderollers m or between positive driving-rollers n.

Granted: 1913-02-27
Abstract: 8440. Bacon, R. H. S., and Shepherd, F. W. H. April 9. Loading-appliances; recoil apparatus.-Relates to means for controlling, from a fixed control position, the actuation of loading, running- out, or other mechanism carried on a moving part of the gun or its mounting, and consists in employing an endless rope which passes round two pulleys, one fixed and the other displaceable at will by hydraulic means, and also round three sheaves arranged in triangular form on the moving structure, one of which sheaves is movable against the action of a spring to actuate mechanism on the moving structure, the arrangement being such that this sheave is displaced as the movable pulley is displaced by the hydraulic control gear to increase its distance from the fixed pulley. Fig. 1 shows the invention as applied to the loading- cage of an ammunition hoist, p represents the fixed pulley, and p<1> the movable pulley attached to a piston-rod working in a cylinder a into which fluid under pressure may he admitted by means of a control-lever l. On the loading- cage c are three sheaves s, s<1>, s<2>, the middle one s being displaceable against the action of a spring b to operate the lever k for releasing the charge. An endless rope r passes round the pulleys and sheaves in such a manner that, when the piston-rod is driven out by admitting fluid to the cylinder a, and the distance between the pulleys p, p<1> is thereby increased, the sheave s is displaced and the charge released. In a modification, the three sheaves are mounted on a gun-slide, and the movable sheave is adapted to actuate a device controlling the breech-operating, ramming, or running-out mechanism.

Abstract: 9465. Hunn, H. G. March 19, [Convention date]. Seat a d j u s t m e n t s; seat backs. -Seats in which the back can be tilted against spring tension are constructed so that the back may be simultaneously vertically and angularly adjusted, while the whole seat can be vertically adjusted by means of a split sleeve on the chair spindle. Arranged to slide on the spindle 15 is a split sleeve 19 which can be clamped in position by the bolt 21 and hand-wheel 24, thereby allowing a vertical adjustment of the whole seat member. Formed on the sleeve 19 is a plate 25 to which the seat-supporting arms 27 are attached by bolts 29, 30. The bolt 30 also serves as a pivot for the arms 31, which are provided at one end with uprights 31<c> having triangular notches 32, while a threaded stem 33 passes through their outer ends. The stem 33 carries two serrated rings 37 and the clamp arms 38, the latter having jaws 39 to retain the part 40 of the plate 41 secured to the tiltable back 43. Thus when the wheel 36 is loosened, the back may be simultaneously adjusted vertically and angularly. A loose bracket 45 rests upon the plate 25, and is provided with a collar 46 in which is guided the rod 47. The threaded end of this rod carries a collar 49 and sleeve 50, by which the tension of the spring 52 may be adjusted, while the other end of the rod 47 passes through a loose plate 54 provided with knife edges 56 to engage the notches 32. By this means the spring 52 is compressed in a straight line when the back 43 is tilted.
