Abstract: 10,840. Valencic, J. May 10. Gymnastic apparatus; rowing - machines. - The apparatus consists of a frame in connexion with which various subsidiary parts are used for performing pulling exercises or for imitating walking and climbing, rowing, and horse-riding. The frame consists of three uprights 1, 2, 3 slightly inclined towards one another and surmounted by a pyramidal frame A. At the front of the frame is a carrier 4 from which the subsidiary devices are suspended. The carrier consists of a link 4<a> and a casing 5 which can rotate on its supporting-pin, and in which are rollers 6 over which pass ropes &c. 8, which support a beam 10 and are connected also to a link 7. The beam 10 is made like a ladder, or is provided with a series of holes, hooks, &c. Cords provided with rings, to which stirrups are attached by adjustable straps, are passed through convenient openings in the beam 10 and secured by snap-fastenings to the ropes 8, and are used for various well-known exercises. To vary the exercises, rollers 16, Fig. 2, are fixed to the framework or posts, and a roller 18, provided with a brake controlled by a set-screw 17, is arranged below. A rope is passed round the rollers and provided with a spring 21, and handles 20 are attached at the ends. This device is used to strengthen the muscles of the arms and back. For imitating walking and hill-climbing, straps 25, Fig. 4, provided with handles 29 and stirrups 27, are suspended from the link 7 by means of a casing 22 and rollers 23. To form a rowing-machine, a seat 41, Fig. 5, is suspended by two pairs of ropes 44 and 44<a> from the beam 10, and is attacbed also to a strap 34, which passes over a pulley 37 mounted on the post 2 and then divides, as shown in Fig. 7, and passes over rollers 32 on a foot-plate 31, the ends being provided with handles 33. The foot-plate is attached to the post by a band or chain 29. The seat consists of fabric run on a wire rope 42 connected to levers 43 to which the ropes 44, 44<a> are secured. In this way, the weight of the user puts tension on the seat fabric. To adapt the apparatus for exercise in imitation of horse-riding, the fittings shown in Fig. 9 are used. A base 49 is attached to the post 2 and this base carries a two-legged upright 50 which supports a board 51, the other end of which is supported from the beam 10 by a strap 55, lever 54, and bow-shaped levers 53. The upper ends of the levers 53 are attached to the seat fabric 56, the front end of which is attached to a chain 57. At the front of the.board 51 are rollers over which pass straps 63, which carry stirrups 62 and are adjustably connected to handles 64, which are attached to a frame 65 supported by a hook 66 from .the beam 10. The weight of the rider .places the seat under tension. When the handles are pulled, the seat is caused to rise, and when the handles are allowed to recede the seat assumes its normal position and the stirrups rise, these movements being permitted by the swinging of the beam 10.

Title: Improvements in or relating to Heel Building and like Machines Employed in the Manufacture of Boots and Shoes.
Inventor: ADDISON HENRY
IPC: A43D79/00
Filed: 1909-06-15
Granted: 1910-05-05
Abstract: 14,056. Addison, H. June 15. Heels, machines for.-A heel-building machine in which the heel lifts are assembled, compressed, nailed together, and delivered for removal, comprises a sectional mould and a presser-block carried by a vertically reciprocating and radially movable arm, having a member which is employed first to move the arm over the mould, then to bring the presser-block on to the assembled lifts to gauge the height of the heel, and, finally, to start the machine only when the heel is of the requisite height. Arranged on a bed-plate 1, Fig. 1, is the mould 3 having a fixed front section 5 and two side sections 4 movable in guides 6, the bottom of the mould being formed by a plunger 7 furnished with holes 8 to receive the nails, which are driven by drivers 9 mounted on a plate 10 on the end of a rod 11. The rod 11 is actuated by a cam mounted on a shaft 12, which is driven by gearing 13 from a main shaft 14, Fig. 3. On a plunger 15 is rotatably mounted a radial arm 16, which can be moved through 90 degrees in and out of operative position by a pivoted handle 21, a lug 53 coming against a stop 52 to position correctly the presser - block 17 over the mould. The block 17 is located in a stalk 18, which is moved up and down in the arm 16 by the handle 21 carrying a sector 20 engaging with a rack 19 on the side of the stalk ; the presser-block and stalk are normally held in a raised position by a spring 23. When the block 17 is brought in contact with a heel of correct height, an arm 24 on the handle pivot-pin 22 rocks a lever 25 to actuate a sliding bolt 26, which, through a bell-crank 29, rod 30, rock-lever 31, and arm 33, puts in a clutch &c. 34 to start the machine. If the heel is too high, the arm 24 fails to make contact with a set-screw 35 on the lever 25 to rock the latter. The set-screw 35 may be adjusted, and the block may be adjusted in the stalk 18 by a screw 36. Other starting-mechanism such as a cable or chain may be employed. The lifts are compressed by a downward movement of the plunger 15 caused by a cam 38 through the medium of a beam 40, side rods 42, a beam 43, and a compression spring 37. After compression, the plunger is raised to normal position by springs 51. The movable sides 4 of the mould are closed in, to position the lifts, during the movement of the arm 16 by levers 44 actuated by cam-faces 45 on the lower portion of the arm 16 ; the sides are opened by means of springs. The built heel is raised in the mould for removal by the plunger 7, which is held in its raised position by a spring bolt 49 so that a fresh complement of nails may be placed in the holes 8. Reference has been directed by the Comptroller to Specification 10,202/08.
