Title: Improvements in and relating to Machines for Sewing on the Soles of Shoes and the like.
Inventor: JOHANSSON ALEXANDER
IPC: D05B67/00
Filed: 1911-02-08
Granted: 1912-02-01
Abstract: 3205. Johansson, A., and Johansson, S. I. G. Feb. 8. Boot-sole sewing machines; needles, driving; feed by awl; presserbars, locking; w o r ksupports.-The work is held between a fixed needle - plate 6 and a presser 21 carried by a lever 20 pivoted at 19 to a plate 5. The needle and awl enter the work from the same side. The awl is carried by a lever 16'pivoted to the plate 5. The plate 5 is pivoted at 4 and moved about its pivot when the awl is in the work to impart a feeding movement to it. The needle is carried by a lever 15 driven by a crank and pitman 11. The awl - lever 16 is driven from the needle-lever by a link 18. A spring 24 exerts a force upon a lever 23 which is transmitted to the presser-lever 20 by a link 22. A pin 36 passing through a slot in the link 22 connects it to the presser-lever 20. The slot permits relative movement of the link and lever, but a spring surrounding the pin 36 presses a washer upon the link 22 and causes frictional resistance to the motion. The lever 20 is locked in position by means of a loose segmental lever 28 and a detent 30. The lever 23 is moved in opposition to the spring by a cam 26, when the plate 5 is returning after the feeding stroke. The movement of the lever 23 removes the detent 30, which is pivoted at 31, and at this time the pressure of the presser upon the work is due only to the spring 34 of the locking plate 28. The initial position of the plate 5 is adjusted by a screw 42. The plate receives its movement from a cam through a piece pivoted to the plate 5 and adjusted relatively to it by a screw.

Title: Propulsive Power for Aeroplanes.
Inventor: BACK WILLIAM EDWARD
IPC: B64C31/024
Filed: 1911-02-13
Granted: 1911-12-14
Abstract: 3596. Back, W. E. Feb. 13. Aerial machines without aerostats; planes, arrangement of ; propelling; steering and balancing.-An aeroplane or glider is propelled by the alternate lifting from and falling on to the machine of a weight. The weight may be raised by a machine, or the operator may form the weight and jump in order to relieve the machine of his weight. As shown, the planes d are pivoted at c and are connected to the machine by flexible wires g and elastic wires h. When the weight is dropped on to the platform l, it tends to hasten the downward movement of the machine, and thereby indirectly produces an increase of air pressure under the planes d. The result is that the spring h is extended, and the subsequent raising of the weight allows the spring to contract and cause the planes d to beat on the air. A hand-hold for the operator is provided. A tail plane is connected by wires f with the main planes so as to be moved automatically in order to keep the machine in an horizontal plane. A forward manuallyoperated plane may be used. When a machine is used, the piston is fixed to the frame and the cylinder and platform are raised by power and allowed to fall freely.

Title: Improvements in Machines for Trimming Books, Magazines and the like.
Inventor: WELCH THOMAS CHARLEY
IPC: B26D7/02
Filed: 1911-04-25
Granted: 1912-04-04
Abstract: 10,016. Welch, T. C., and Rowe, J. April 25. Guillotine type. - Relates to a machine for trimming books &c. of the type in which the book has its front edge first trimmed by one knife 16 and is then engaged and fed by a carrier 10 into position to be trimmed along its edges by additional knives. Rigid cutting-beds for the knives are employed, and the carrier serves as feeding-means only, and has its carrying-face disposed in the plane of the cutting- beds. The initial position of the book is determined by gauges 12, which are lowered automatically after the book has been secured by the carrier subsequent to the trimming operation. The gauges 12, which are raised by a cam at the required moment to receive the book, also serve to raise one of a series of clamps 11 on the carrier 10, and this clamp, under the action of a spring, grips the book when the gauges are retracted and carries it to the secondary trimming-knives. Additional pressure is imparted to the clamp 11 by a cam-depressed hinged extension 64 of a bar 62, which serves to maintain the pressure on the book in its passage through the machine. The carrier 10 passes over intermittently-actuated wheels 8, 9, the wheels being provided with arms 15 adapted to raise the clamp 11 to release the book at the delivery end of the machine, and with studs engaging recesses in the carrier 10 to prevent slippage thereof. The knives carry clamped bars 21, which are frictionally mounted thereon and adapted, after engaging the book, to impart a diagonal or draw-cut movement to the knives. In the case of the side-trimming knives, this movement is preferably towards the front edge of the book, and the knives are operated in sequence. The guides of all the knives are extended down to the cutting-beds as far as possible, so that each knife may be guided continuously along the plane of its cutting-edge. When books of narrow width are to be cut, the clamps or the carrier are preferably arranged to fold in close contact with the belt, and in the case of thick books, other suitable clamping-arrangements are provided.

Granted: 1912-07-01
Abstract: 15,224. Goedkoop, D., and Goedkoop, J. June 29 Tappet-actuated pumps; speed, varying. - A governing-gear of the hit-and-miss type for oilengines comprises a reciprocating finger travelling over a stepped surface, which finger, at a predetermined speed, leaves the stepped surface and engages a lever so that the pump plunger is struck either in the full position or is entirely missed. Fig. 1 shows the mechanism adapted for controlling the fuel-pump of a single-cylinder oil-engine. The pump plunger a is normally hit by the finger b connected to the bell-crank lever c operated in the ordinary way by the eccentric rod c<1>. The finger b has a foot or support d resting on a surface e, upon which it is retained by a spring f. This may be adjusted by the lever g and pin and holes j, k. The foot d is made to ascend a slight incline l, the result being that, at a certain speed, it moves upward against the tension of the spring f. The finger b carries a knife - edge m, which engages a notch n in the lever o when the foot d is jerked up, and the finger is thus held out of contact with the plunger a. Fig. 3 shows a modification for operating two pump plungers a, a<1> alternately. The end of the lever o is formed with a bell-crank extension o' bearing on a lever q. The other arm of this lever carries a piece s interposed between the finger b and the plunger a<1>. When the knife-edge m engages the lever o, the end of the lever q is raised and retained by a catch on the lever t. When the finger again strikes the plunger a, it strikes the lever t at the same time and releases the lever q.

Patent GB-191125691-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in Differential Recoil Guns.
IPC: F41A25/02
Filed: 1911-11-17
Granted: 1912-09-05
Abstract: 25,691. Rheinische Metallwaaren-und Maschinenfabrik. March 8, [Convention date]. Recoil apparatus. - Relates to differential recoil guns in which there is no braking action during run-out unless a missfire occurs, and consists in providing the brake-cylinder with double walls, between which the brake fluid can pass without resistance from one side of the piston to the other during run-out, this passage being automatically obstructed during recoil. In the form shown in Fig. 5, the parts are in the positions they would occupy after a missfire. The brake-cylinder a is surrounded by a second cylinder b, communicating with it through holes c, g. As the cylinder recoils with the barrel, liquid is forced through channels f from the forward to the rear side of the stationary piston c, the ports d of which are closed during recoil by a sliding disk h upon which the brake liquid presses. The annular channel r is closed in a similar manner by a sliding ring i, which covers the holes g. On the run-out, the brake liquid displaces the members h, i, and passes from one side of the piston to the other through the ports d, and also through the annular space r. The cross-sections of these passages are so adjusted that there is no brake action during run-out. If a missfire occurs, the coned or grooved plug o enters the boring o<1> in the piston-rod and produces a throttling action on the liquid in the boring, thus braking the cylinder. The brake cylinder is full of liquid in the firing position, and the liquid displaced from the cylinder by the piston-rod owing to a missfire, or by the heating of the liquid, passes through holes t into a receptacle containing a spring-actuated piston p.

Title: Improvements in and relating to Distant Indication Devices for Cash Registers and the like.
Inventor: HADDAN REGINALD
IPC: G06C11/02
Filed: 1912-03-27
Granted: 1913-03-27
Abstract: 7494. Haddan, R., [National Cash Register Co.]. March 27. Cash registers with operating-means; distantdrum indicators.-A cash register, for example of the key-set and independently-operated type, is provided with electrical means for indicating at one of a number of distant stations the amount registered and the nature of the transaction. The amount is indicated by numbered disks operated by solenoids, and the transaction is shown by illumination. Each of the usual amount-indicating drums 6 of the cash register is geared with a multipolar switch 7, 7<b>, 7<c>, which is constructed of alternately-placed insulating and conducting disks 38, 36, the latter having extension segments 36<a>, Fig. 5. These segments are arranged so that they form a spiral series of contact surfaces around the drum, and consequently different positions of the drum cause electric connexion with different contact-points 42. Each of these points 42 is connected through a main cut-out 48 and a drawer cut-out 66 with a battery, Fig. 11, and with the distant indicator. The main cut-out 48 is arranged so as to be opened and closed simultaneously with the occultation and disclosure by the flash of the usual indicating-drums 6, the current to the distant indicator thus being broken during the change of indication. The drawer cut-out 66 is closed only when the drawer is moved outwards, so that current is only on while the drawer is out. A multipolar switch 7<a>, Fig. 1, is geared with a room or station indicating drum 15 set by one of the room-selecting keys, and its corresponding contact-points are wired with each of the distant indicators through an alarm bell and operating solenoids 85, Fig. 11. The distant amount-indicator is shown in Fig. 9, and consists of numbered disks on spindles 78 bevel-geared to vertical spindles 93 surrounded by electro-magets 91 in circuit with the contactpoints 42 in the register. When the solenoids 85 are thrown into circuit, racks 82 are raised and the spindles 93, and therefore also the disks, are rotated to an extent depending upon which of the magnets 91 are energized to cause their armatures 95 to move pins 96 into the paths of projections 94 on the spindles 93. When the racks descend, the disks are not affected, but at the end of the movement the disks are held by the engagement of a tooth 100 on each rack with a wheel 101 on the spindles 78. The nature of the transaction is distantly indicated by electric lights within translucent boxes, these lights being in circuit with a multipolar switch 7<d> arranged on the transaction-indicating drum spindle 33, Fig. 1. The contact-points co-operating with this switch are mounted on a rock-bar which is rocked out of contact during the operation of the machine and is then restored so that the indication is given. Specifications 15,269/07 and 9302/11 are referred to.
