Breasting.-A machine for breasting the heels of boots and shoes, and for other purposes, is provided with rack-and-pinion mechanism controlled by the engagement of a stop with the sole of the shoe, or with a given portion of the work under treatment, to stop automatically the movement of the knife when it reaches a desired point, such as the level of the sole. The invention is described as applied to a machine for breasting heels, in which the knife d is secured by adjustable wedges d<1>, d<2>, in a holder g<2>, which is adapted to be moved downwards in a rack slide e by the engagement with shoulders g, g<1> on its upper end of the free ends of arms f<1> of double levers f<1>, f<2> pivoted to pins f located in lugs e<1>, e<2> on the slide e; this slide is actuated through pinions e<5>, e<6> and a rack e<8> from an eccentric on the main shaft of the machine. The stop j' for controlling the movement of the knife is adjustably secured to a rack slide j, which is normally pressed downwards by a spring k; when it contacts with the shoe, it actuates rack-and-segmental gearing j<3>, n<3>, n, causing an horizontal rack bar m<1> to be moved across the machine. This bar is formed with curved guides m, in which are located slides l pivoted to the arms f<2>; during the movement of the bar, these slides oscillate the arms f<1>, f<2> to disengage the ends of the arms from the shoulders g, g<1> of the knife-holder, and so stop the movement of the knife. During the breasting operation, the shoe is clamped by the engagement with its heel of a presser b carried by a rack slide b<1>, which is geared through pinions h, h<1> to a rack h<2> on a yielding treadle connexion h<3>. When the treadle is depressed, the presser is first lowered on to the heel, and then the eccentric driving the rod e<8> is coupled to the driving-shaft. After the shaft is started, the presser is locked against movement by the engagement of a spring-pressed pawl i<4> with a ratchet i<5> mounted on the shaft of the pinion h.

IPC: G01P15/135
Filed: 1912-12-20
Granted: 1913-10-23
Abstract: 29,341. Dunsheath, P. Dec. 20. Road-vehicle signals.-Retardation of a road vehicle is indicated by shutter, semaphore, or controlled-light signals actuated by the ' inertia force ' of a movable mass carried by the vehicle, which mass may be a suspended or sliding weight, or a quantity of fluid which operates pistons. In the form shown in Fig. 2, the weight W is suspended by a bracket A pivoted at K. Its'motion is transmitted to a plate H integral with the arm V which carries the shutter D, by way of a loose pinion S gearing with a rack R on the bracket A. The pinion S is provided with an arm L which engages the plate H in such a way as to permit of lost motion, and so to prevent actuation of the shutter through variation of the road gradient. Thus the plate H may be formed as a catchplate, or a dash-pot O may be provided. The motion of the bracket A is damped by the friction of a spring B, and that of the shutter is controlled by a spring M. The shutter D uncovers a transparent ' stop ' indication Q to an extent depending on the amount of retardation.

Title: Improvements in Methods of Raising and Forcing Liquids and Apparatus therefor.
Inventor: JOY BERTRAM CHARLES
Filed: 1913-02-12
Granted: 1914-02-05
Abstract: 3653. Joy, B. C. Feb. 12. Vacuum apparatus; momentum apparatus. - A column of liquid is set in motion towards a chamber by the condensation of steam or other vapour therein, and the momentum thus acquired by the column is utilized to raise or force a portion thereof against a head or pressure. In the arrangement shown in Fig. 1, assuming the pipe b and chamber a to be full of water and a supply of steam to be available through a supply-pipe h, as soon as the stop-cock t is opened the water flows by gravity out of the apparatus drawing in steam from the pipe h past a valve m, which is normally held in a midway position by the spring n. When the level of water in the chamber a falls below the nozzle o, a spray of cold water from a pipe p is injected into the steam, causing condensation thereof. The water in the pipe b continues to flow outwards for a short time until the degree of vacuum produced in the chamber a causes the valve m to close on its left-hand seat, and checks any further outward flow of water. A return flow of water in the pipe b now takes place owing to the atmospheric pressure acting at the outer end, and the water acquires momentum which ultimately causes a portion of it to be delivered through the delivery valve d into an air-vessel c and delivery pipe c<1>, the valve m simultaneously closing upon its right-hand seat. A second outflow of liquid in the pipe b then occurs and the action proceeds automatically. The high-pressure water flowing from the pipe p into the nozzle o draws with it a quantity of water from the pipe r to augment the spray, and when the valve t is closed to stop the apparatus the flow of water through the pipe p ensures the filling of the chamber a ready for restarting.

Granted: 1913-07-17
Abstract: 5092. Kerr, A. Feb. 28. Pneumatic and hydraulic systems, automatic; track apparatus actuating signals on and other than on trains and for stopping trains; crossing- gate signals.-Audible signals and the throttle and brake valves are operated bv fluid-pressure cylinders controlled by four valves which are linked to two vertical co-axial tubes carrying horizontal arms with down-turned rods at different heights above the track which are deflected to the right or left according to the state of the track, the lower rod. only being actuated at a distant signal and both at a home signal. The track contacts comprise a fixed part and a pivoted blade which is set by the signal or by fluid pressure controlled by a train standing at a station or like place. Fig. 5 shows a fixed guide - block 1 and a pivoted blade 1" operated by the pressure of a fluid supplied from a tank 11 through a series of valves 9, which are connected to depressible rails 4, 4<a>. These valves normally maintain the conduit 10, 12, 13, 13<a>, 17 open, and the blade 1<a> against the guide 1<b>, and the signals 16, 19, at clear position, but a train as shown on the rail 4 puts the conduits 13, 13<a>, 17 to the exhaust pipe 20, and springs act on the pistons of the operating-cylinders to put the signals 16, 19 to ' danger ' and the blade 1<a> in the position shown. Similar blades with guides 1<b> and fixed blocks 1 may be actuated by wires or the like in conjunction with semaphore signals operated by a signalman, and in such cases the track apparatus at a home signal is higher above the track than that at a distant signal. The apparatus on a train, as shown in Fig. 3, comprises a number of fluid-pressure cylinders s<1>, t<1>, u<1>, w<1> actuating respectively a bell s, a gong t, a whistle u, and the throttle and brake valves w, z. The supply of fluid to these cylinders is controlled by four valves carried by a plate g and actuated by pins and slotted links from the tubes n, o to which are attached arms n<8>, o<8> in a position to engage the track contacts 1, 1<a>, and so rotate the tube n at a distant signal and both tubes o, n at a home signal to the right or left according to the position of the blade 1<a>. In order to put the apparatus out of action for reverse running, a valve q<10> moved by the reversing-gear supplies fluid to a cylinder q<2>, which lifts the valve-carrying plate g and the tubes n, o. Apparatus similar to that shown in Fig. 5 may be adapted to actuate a bell, Fig. 6, at crossing-gates. The piston-rod 23<c> carries a collar 23<b> which acts on a single-way pawl mounted on the hammer lever 24 so as to actuate the hammer when the cylinder is relieved of fluid pressure beneath the piston 23<a>. The position of the blade 1<a> may be indicated to the signalman by an electric circuit closed by the contact 22.
