Title: An Improved Mechanism for Obtaining Irregular Rotary Motion in Machines for Operating on Boots and Shoes.
IPC: D05B15/02
Filed: 1911-01-26
Granted: 1911-12-14
Abstract: 2019. Adrian & Busch. June 23, 1910, [Convention date]. Sewing-machines; lock-stitching by shuttles; mechanism of unspecified application.-A device for obtaining an irregular rotary motion, for use in sewing or other machines for operating on boots and shoes, comprises a lever 4 pivotally connected at 15 and 18 respectively, to two levers 10 and 17, which are oscillated by a pair of cams 5, 6 geared together so as to rotate in unison, the parts being so arranged that the end 3<a> of the lever 4 describes a circular or substantially circular path. The motion is transmitted to a crank 3, which is mounted on a slide 2 on the crank-disk 1 so as to compensate for slight inexactitudes in the formation of the cams. The Specification as open to inspection under Section 91 (3) (a) comprises also the application of the invention to other than boot and shoe making machines, and also to arrangements wherein a departure from the strictly circular movement of the crank-pin may be desirable. This subject-matter does not appear in the Specification as accepted.

Granted: 1911-11-02
Abstract: 8683. Borradaile, H., [Administrator of Jarvis, J. A.]. April 8, 1910, [Convention date]. Chucks.-An outer casing 5 is dished eccentrically for a cylindrical part 11 having a screwthreaded extension 7 with a bevelled portion to engage spring jaws 27. A spring-pressed plate 20, screw-threaded to engage the toolholder 26, is recessed for pins 21, which are pressed by the springs and plate 20 against a screw-threaded sleeve 24. A worm 33, coacting with teeth 31, serves to adjust the eccentricity, which is indicated by a pointer 29 moving over a scale. When the sleeve 24 is moved towards the plate 20, it forces with it the pins and the plate, and thereby the tool-holder is drawn against the incline to close the jaws.

Title: Improvements in Power Operated Portable Hammers for use with Percussive Tools for Rivetting, Caulking, Chipping and the like.
Inventor: FARADAY EDWARD JAMES
IPC: B25D11/12

Granted: 1912-04-15
Abstract: 9329. Faraday, E. J. April 15. [Cognate Applications, 20,851/11 & 21,293/11.] Percussive hand tools.-In a power-operated portable hammer in which the hammer is reciprocated relatively to a tool which is held by the hammer casing in contact with the work, the hammer is directly connected to a rotating crank by means of an elastic connecting-rod, one end of which is sleeved on the crank-pin while the other end is pivotally connected to the hammer, whereby the stroke of the hammer may be made to exceed that of the crank. In the form shown in Fig. 1, the hammer A is reciprocated in a cylindrical chamber in a casing B, in which the tool C is held, by means of a spring F situated in a lateral chamber b<3>, the looped ends of the spring encircling sleeves e<1>, d<3> on a wrist pin E on the hammer and the crank-pin d<2> respectively. The casing B is in two halves connected by bolts. In another form, Fig. 7, the crank shaft D is fixed axially by a ball race h<3> and carries a clutch member h<2>, and the driving- shaft D<2> carries a clutch member h<1> adapted to be moved in an axial direction by handoperated levers h<4>, h<7>, h<8> acting through a ball race h<5>. The clutch members are normally held apart by a spring h<9> in the crank shaft D acting through a ball h<10> and a strut h<11>. The elastic connecting-rod comprises a crank-pin sleeve d<7> having a shank d<5> which passes through the wrist pin E and its sleeve, and reciprocates the hammer through normally compressed springs F<2>, F<3>. If desired, two sets of springs mounted on two sets of rods may be used. This elastic connecting-rod may be replaced by that shown in Fig. 6, in which the wrist pin sleeve e<2> has a hollow stem e<3> through which, and through the wrist pin, passes a shank d' on the crank-pin sleeve d<4>; the spring F' is preferably of rectangular strip wound on edge, and is secured by engagement with spiral grooves on shouldered portions e<4>, d<6> of the hollow stem and shank. The springs shown in Fig. 7, may also be secured in this manner. To obtain increased velocity of the hammer on the working stroke, the driving- shaft may drive an intermediate shaft connected to the crank shaft by means such as elliptical gearing. The springs may be located in a central recess in the hammer instead of laterally thereof. According to Provisional Specification 21,293/11, the tool may normally be held clear of the hammer by a spring, pressure on the work forcing the tool into the path of the hammer; or the position of the tool may be adjusted by means of a cam, eccentric, or the like.

Abstract: 25,383. Borschel, H. Nov. 14. Photo-mechanical printing-surfaces.-Relates to a method of producing bas-reliefs from which dies, casts, and printing-surfaces are obtained. Chemically pure paper is steeped and saturated in a solution of sulphate of magnesia, mucilage of quince seeds and some black colouring- matter such as Indian ink. The paper is dried and then coated with a composition containing gelatine dissolved in water, mucilage of lixiviated quince seeds. sulphate of magnesia. sodium chloride, and colouring - matter. The composition is hardened by chrome alum before application to the paper, and the composition is applied while still warm. The paper, after being dried, is sensitized with bichromate of potash with a suitable quantity of liquid ammonia added, and is printed under a negative or positive of the picture as the case may be. After printing, the paper is immersed in a solution of water-glass and squeezed on to a smooth glass plate. The plate and film are then immersed in warm water, and the paper is detached. The film is then washed with warm water, adding if necessary a small 'amount of soda lye to dissolve away the unexposed parts of the film and leaving an insoluble matrix which is hardened with a solution of alum, thiosulphate, formalin, or tannin according to the substance intended to be used in the subsequent moulding process. Half-tone printing is obtained by the employment of screens in the usual manner. The film matrix is used for obtaining casts. or wax matrices which are to receive a metallic deposit forming the final bas relief reproduction, or dies for stamping purposes; or a block of plaster of paris is first made from the film and either used itself for printing or as a means for obtaining an electro or rubber type.

Abstract: 18,278. Bedard, T. E., Bedard, J. B. R., Bedard, P. E., and Hebert, J. A. H. Aug. 8. Levers and rods, locking.-Relates to locking- devices in which an actuated member is antomatically locked so that it can only be moved by the actuating-member, and in which rollers, balls, or the like are normally free to jamm into engagement between recesses in the actuated members and a fixed casing, but are prevented from jamming when the actuating-member is moved. In a construction of steering-gear for motor-vehicles, the operated member 2 carries a plate 3 having concave recesses, rollers 19 being placed in the recesses so as normally to jamm between the plate 3 and the fixed casing 20, and resist movement of the operated member. When it is desired to move the operated member, the rollers are held in the centres of their recesses by means of the two fingers 12, 17 which are then moved away from one another towards the ends of slots 6 in a plate 5 carried by the operated member 2. The movement of the two fingers 12,17 is effected by some lost motion of the operating- member 1 taking place before the member 2 moves. This lost motion is utilized to cause a relative rotation of the loose plates 11, 15 which are placed one above the other and carry the fingers 12, 17 respectively. The plate 11 is formed with slots 14, which accommodate (a) projections 18 on the plate 15 and (b) pawls 10 pivoted to the undersides of a plate 7 fixed to the operating-member 1. Movement of the operating-member and pawls 10 first causes relative rotation of the plates 11, 15 so as to make the fingers 12, 17 engage the ends of the slots 14, and further movement operates the member 2. The casing is of spherical shape and consists of two shells, engaging a spherical recess in the plates 27, 28.
