Granted: 1907-01-24
Abstract: 28,959. Hiorth, A. May 5, [date applied for under Patents Act, 1901]. Electric furnaces.-An induction furnace can be used as an electrode furnace for smelting by wholly or partly interrupting the charge, for example by a removable partition C, and introducing an electrode D into the slag on each side of the interruption. These electrodes are connected, optionally through a secondary coil F, and serve to heat the slag. Several partitions and corresponding electrodes may be employed, and these partitions may have passages for the charge. Each pair of electrodes may be rigidly connected in the shape of a horseshoe, and may then be adapted to rock and impart motion to the mass. In the case of the direct production of steel from ore, the furnace is used with electrodes as above described during smelting, after which the partitions and electrodes are removed and the furnace heated by induction during refining, which is effected in the usual way by the introduction of refuse steel. The furnace illustrated has two channels A combined with one inductive coil, but a single channel may be used.

Granted: 1907-05-30
Abstract: 482. Hajek, J. Jan. 8. Loom shuttle -changing mechanism ; shuttles.-When the weft fork is actuated in the usual manner, it acts through levers and a chain to rock a shaft 10, and, by means of hooks 7, 8 secured to levers on the shaft, hooks 34, 41, secured to a cam-actuated lever 37, are caused to engage studs on pivoted levers 32, 40, which are thereby raised. The lever 32 acts through a rod 30, a double-armed lever 28 pivoted on the lay-sword, and rods 25, 26 secured thereto, to lower the sliding front 20 and raise the sliding back 21 of the shuttle box. The lever 40 acts through a spring 45 on a rod 46, which causes a pawl 47, pivoted on the laysword, to engage a projection on a slide 50. As the lay moves forwards, the slide is carried forwards against the action of a spring, and acts through a centrally - pivoted lever 52 upon a conveyer z. The conveyer pushes a shuttle from the magazine m on to the bottom of the shuttle box, and the fresh shuttle pushes the empty shuttle through an opening 24 in the raised shuttle-box back. As the rod 25 is lowered, a cross-piece 75 thereon acts upon a nut at the end of rod 71, whichis thereby lowered and rocks a pivoted cross-plate 65 against the action of a spring 68. The crossplate is secured to a fork-like lever 60, which is moved towards the lay, so that its fork-ends extend over the fresh shuttle, and projections 63 on springs secured to the fork-ends engage grooves in the. shuttle, which is thereby held in position. The rod 71 is held down by a counterweighted pawl 74 engaging a projection thereon, and when the rod 25 is raised, the pawl is disengaged from the projection by the action thereon of a forked rod 77 carried by the cross-piece 75, while the lever 60 is returned to its normal position by the action of the spring 68.

Granted: 1908-10-19
Abstract: 23,042. Lake, H. W., [Boylston Manufacturing Co.]. Oct. 18. Lasting ; nailng.-Relates to lasting and tacking machines, such as that described in Specification No. 21,171, A.D. 1905, and consists in an arrangement whereby as soon as the shoe engages the pincers they automatically close on to the upper, while a further movement of the shoe starts the tacking - mechanism. The pincers consist of two members 17, 18 pivoted together at 19, the member 18 being extended rearwards as at 20 and pivoted on a stud 21 projecting from the head of the machine. A spring 22 normally holds the pincers in their lowest position. The extension 20 is formed with a wiping surface c, and is provided with a slot to receive the tacking nozzle 10. The upper end of the member 17 is formed with guideways to receive a movable spring-pressed catch 30, which is adapted to be engaged by a hook 31 connected to a rock-shaft 34 actuated at intervals by a cam 12 on the main shaft 11. Pivoted to the catch 30 is a spring-pressed member 28 adapted to be engaged by a finger 26 pivoted to the pincer member 18. When a shoe is presented to the machine and forced upwards, the finger 26 engages the member 28, and lifts the catch 30 so as to disconnect it from engagement with the hook 31. This allows an adjustable compression-spring 24, Fig. 4, to close the pincers on to the work. The operator then draws the upper taut round the last and wipes it over this insole, the horizontal movement to effect the wiping action being caused by the engagement of an enlargement 23, Fig. 4, on the pincer member 18 with a fixed part of the machine, and being allowed for by providing a slot 201 for the stud of the extension 20. A further upward movement of the work causes it to engage the nozzle 10 and start the tacking-mechanism, which is of usual construction. The main shaft 11 makes one revolution and then stops automatically ; as it completes its revolution, the hook 31 slips under the catch 30 and then moves with it to the right to open the pincers and to hold them in open position. The shoe is then lowered, the finger 26 drops, and the member 28 slips into position above it.
