Granted: 1906-03-08
Abstract: 8128. Hollingworth, E., [Crompton & Knowles Loom Works]. April 17. Looms, pile-forming in.-In looms for weaving pile fabrics by crossing the pile warps 8, which are raised by heald cords 7 and a lifting-bar 6, over longitudinal wires 16 by means of a reciprocating comb 9, the guide-strips 12 between the pile wires are formed with slots 12<11> through which the binder warps 3, 4 and, preferably, the stuffer warps 5 are passed, so that these warps are prevented from being raised above the upper ends of the pile-wire supporting blades 15, and from being carried over the pile wires. The strips 12 have, preferably, offsets 12<1>, and are connected to a transverse bar 13. The blades 15 are secured to the lower ends of the strips 12, and their upper ends are formed with pockets 15<1> to receive the pile wires. Each pile wire 16 is, near its inner end, reduced in thickness to form shoulders, and, when the pile wire is pushed into the pocket 15<1>, the shoulders extend within the bent front edges of the pocket. The pile wire is thus pivotally supported and may be disengaged by being drawn out in a substantially straight direction.

Title: Improvements in Machines for Turning Boots and Shoes.
Inventor: GARDNER GEORGE BENJAMIN
Filed: 1905-05-17
Granted: 1905-08-10
Abstract: 10,397. Gardner, G. B. May 27, 1904, [date applied for under Patents Act, 1901]. Turning turned shoes.-Relates to a turn-shoe machine which will enable the heel and forepart of the shoe to be turned either simultaneously or successively without removal from the machine. The turning is effected by three different parts of the machine, namely, a heel plunger e carried by a reciprocating rod d, three depending arms comprising two converging side arms j and a front arm k rigidly secured to a crosshead c, and a forked arm l pivoted to the rod d. The plunger e is provided with a removable head e<1> of the shape shown in Figs. 11 and 12, its semicircular front edge being corrugated or provided with teeth t. The lower ends of the arms are smoothed and bevelled off at their rear corners, while the lower end of the arm k, which is concavo-convex in section, carries three friction rollers, two conical end rollers y rigidly connected by a spindle y<1>, Fig. 9, and a centre roller x, which has curved rims. The arm l is curved as shown, and is provided with a curved turning-finger m, also fitted with a roller. The rod d is connected by a series of links i, h, g, of which the link g is adjustable, to a spring - controlled foot - lever f, while another adjustable lever n connects the end of the lever h to the arm l. A rack is secured to one of the legs of the machine to hold the lever f in various positions. In turning a shoe, it is first placed on the arms j, k so that they engage the heel portion, as shown in Fig. 2, and then the lever f is depressed so as to raise the plunger e and cause the teeth t to bite into the inner side of the sole adjacent to the heel end, Fig. 11. This bends the heel end of the sole upwards, and at the same time the upper and counter are drawn down, and then up about the arms j, k until the heel is completely turned, as shown in Fig. 4. The foot-lever f is then released so as to lower the plunger e, which carries the shoe with it. As this is taking place, the bent upper portion of the arm l enters the heel portion of the shoe, and the operator then bends or "breaks" the fore-part of the sole over the finger m, Fig. 5. The foot-lever f is again depressed so as to force the finger m forward into the toe of the shoe while the operator holds the tongue portion of the upper, which completes the turning operation, Fig. 6. The heel and toe portions of the shoe may, if desired, be turned simultaneously. The heel part is placed on the arms j, k, and the sole is "broken" over the finger m, while the upper is turned over the ball of the shoe, as shown in Fig. 13. The plunger e on being raised then causes both portions of the shoe to turn together.
