Title: Improvements in Stapling Machines for Boots and Shoes.
Inventor: RALPHS ANDREW THOMAS
IPC: A43D100/08
Filed: 1912-10-17
Granted: 1913-10-17
Abstract: 23,707. Ralphs, A. T., and Nokes, E. S. Oct. 17. Stapling.-A stapling-machine for attaching ornaments, bows, pom-poms, buttons, &c. to boots and shoes, or for driving staples during the lasting of boots and shoes, is arranged so that the depression of a treadle first presses up the clinching-die so as to clamp the work against the machine nose, and then throws in the clutch for starting the machine. The depression of the treadle moves down a link k connected through a spring to the end of an arm j projecting from a rock-shaft i, which is provided with a cam h engaging the pivoted arm f carrying the clinching-die g. A second link k<2> is rigidly connected to the link k, and is attached to a plate 1 guided by studs 4 engaging in a slot. The plate carries an adjustable trip v adapted to engage a bell-crank lever w, u for operating a one-revolution clutch on the shaft l. A bend 2 at the end of the slot in the plate 1 ensures the lever w, u being freed from the trip in time to throw out the clutch after one revolution. The shaft l is provided with a cam m for operating the lever o connected to the cutting and forming slide d, and with a second cam for operating a lever p connected to the driver rod c<1>. A third cam operates a wirefeed lever.

Title: Improved Self Cocking Trigger Mechanism for Automatic Small Arms.
Inventor: KOROVINE SERGE
IPC: F41A17/32
Filed: 1912-11-09
Granted: 1913-12-09
Abstract: 25,744. Korovine, S. Nov. 9. Breech actions, sliding breech-block.-Relates to firearms in which the hammer is cocked for the first shot by a pull of the trigger, and consists in connecting the hammer by a link to a tumbler which is actuated by the trigger and by the firing-spring. Pivoted to the tumbler is a sear which engages a fixed shoulder and holds the hammer cocked during automatic firing. Means are also provided for limiting the return movement of the trigger during automatic firing. In the construction shown in Figs. 1, 4, and 6, the tumbler 7 is pivoted on the pin 8 and is connected to the hammer 1 by a link 5. Fig. 1 shows the hammer uncocked. During the pull of the trigger, a nose 24 on a pawl 21 pivoted to the trigger engages the nose 25 on the tumbler 7 and turns it, and with it the hammer, until the nose 24 slips past the nose 25 and allows the tumbler 7, together with the hammer 1, to return, under the action of the firing-spring 12, and fire the gun The recoil turns the hammer and tumbler, as shown in Fig. 4, and the sear 14 pivoted to the tumbler 7 falls into engagement with a fixed stop 16<1>. At the same time a lever 2 on the tumbler 7 comes under a heel-piece 4 on the trigger and limits the return movement of the trigger as shown in Fig. 6. When the gun has been cocked automatically, as shown in Fig. 6, a pull on the trigger causes the nose 23 of the trigger-pawl 21 to lift the sear 14 from the fixed shoulder 16<1>, thereby discharging the gun. To facilitate the uncocking of the hammer, a safety-device is provided, comprising a spring-pressed pawl 28, Fig. 16, adapted to be manually moved inwards, against the pressure of its spring, into engagement with a notch in the firing-pin. The notch is undercut so that, when the hammer is pressing against the firing-pin, the pawl is held in engagement. The pawl 28 also locks the breechblock to the body. In a modification, the pawl 28<1>, Fig. 21, is hidden and is operated by an external spring finger 31<1>.

Patent GB-191229719-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in Impulse Sending Mechanisms.
IPC: H04M1/31
Filed: 1912-12-24
Granted: 1913-12-24
Abstract: 29,719. Western Electric Co., [Woodward, F. T.]. Dec. 24. Impulse transmitters. - A finger dial instrument for sending number impulses in automatic telephone systems is constructed with contact springs which are actuated by a pin controlled by a rotating star-wheel, but the period of opening or closing of the springs depends on the time taken by the pin to move under spring action along one face of a projection on the star-wheel, and not on the rate of rotation of the wheel. The last impulse of each set is made of longer duration. The dial is operated as usual by inserting a finger in an aperture 12 and rotating the dial until the stop 13 is reached. The plate 16 rotates with the dial, the spring 18 passing over the teeth 20 of the star-wheel 21. On the return of the finger dial, the projection 19 on the spring 18 drives the star-wheel, and the teeth 20 actuate the pin 26 to cause current interruptions between the springs 31, 32. The rotation of the star-wheel is controlled by the ratchet-wheel 22 and escapement 23, and continues until the plate 16 is held by the stop 28. The pin 26 is carried on' a segment 27 which also carries an insulating-block 29 and is mounted on the screw 38. An insulating- cam 30 is also mounted on the screw 38 and is adapted to play between the pin 26 and the block 29. The normal position of the apparatus is shown in Fig. 7, with the pin 26 resting on the end of a tooth 20, and the contact between the springs 31, 32 closed. When the star-wheel begins to move in a counter-clockwise direction, the segment 27 is moved by the spring 34, and the insulating block 29 allows the contact to open as in Fig. 8. The contact remains open during the time it takes the pin 26 to move along the face of the tooth under the action of the spring far enough to bring the arm 30 under the spring 31 and again close the contact. This time can be varied by adjustment of the spring 34 and is independent of the rate of rotation of the wheel. During the return movement of the pin 26 along the face of the next tooth 20, the spring 31 is kept raised bv the blocks 30 and 29 so that the contact is kept closed. When the last tooth but one is reached the pin 26 is prevented from falling between the teeth by the plate 16, so that the last impulse of a set is of longer duration than the others.

Abstract: 628. Jones, W. A. Jan. 8. Drawing.-In apparatus for drawing glass cylinders, a tank 5 is connected by a conduit 17 with a pot 19, enclosed in a chamber 11 heated by burners. The lid 26 is raised by chains 30 and the draw made as usual. At the conclusion of the draw, the cylinder is removed and a ring 25, forming the top of the pot 19, is raised so as to allow the molten metal to overflow from the pot 19 and carry with it the refuse from the drawing operation. The metal that overflows escapes by an opening 15. The ring 23 is then replaced and another cylinder is drawn from the clean surface thus formed.

The bar D may form a petrol tank, the joint F being constructed to allow the petrol to flow to the engine when the bar is upright, but shutting off the petrol when the bar is folded down to the position shown in Fig. 1. The crank-shaft of the motor is arranged co-axially with the steering - wheel, as shown in Fig. 3, and drives the wheel through reducing epicyclic gearing. A brake band K can be expanded so as to engage the inside of the road wheel to brake the vehicle, or can be contracted to engage the epicyclic gear casing and clutch the engine to the road wheels. This band is operated by forward and backward movements of the stabilizing-bar D. The motor casing forms a connexion between the wheel axle and steering-pivot.
