Patent GB-190815555-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in or relating to Punching Machines.
Filed: 1908-07-22
Granted: 1909-07-22
Abstract: 15,555. Hallam, H., Hall, T. P., Roberts, W. T. B., and British United Shoe Machinery Co. July 22. Punching and perforating machines.-Relates particularly to the punching-machine for ornamenting toe caps &c. described in Specification No. 22,884, A.D. 1904, and consists iu the provision of a positively-acting device for controlling the punch, and in the provision of improved means for controlling and adjusting the strip-feed. The machine referred to comprises a punch-bar 8 which is actuated by a cam 6 on the main shaft 4, while a second cam operates a lever 18 to impart lateral movement to a punch-bar carrier 14 to effect the feed. The punch-bar carries a roller 27 which is held in engagement with the cam 6 by a spring. In the present machine a holder A<3>, to which a head A<1> carrying the punch or punches A is removably secured, is mounted to swivel on a projection 8<a> from the punch-bar. After the punches have penetrated the work, they are raised a sufficient distance to free them from the flexible strip 72, but not sufficiently to free them from the work. During the movement, and if the punches have not been displaced axially during the feed, a slot A<4> in a projection A' from the holder A<3> will be engaged by a stud B, Fig. 2, on the carrier 14. If, however, the punches have been displaced, the projection B will engage a cam surface A<6> on the projection A<5>, and this causes the punches to be turned back to their normal position. The limits of swivelling movement of the holder A<3> are preferably arranged to be determined by the engagement of the stud B with the cam-surface A<6>. In an alternative construction, a pin-and-slot connexion between the lower end of the punch-bar and the holder A<3> determines the limits of this swivelling movement; in this construction also, the positions of the stud B and slot A<4> are reversed. The holder A<3> is locked against swivelling until the punches are close to the work by a spring-pressed plunger C, Fig. 1, the downward movement of which is limited by the engagement of a pin C' with a recess C<2> in the plunger. The mechanism for feeding the strip 72 comprises a lever D provided with a projection D<1> which underlies the strip, and a spring-pressed pivoted pawl D<2> which engages the upper surface of the strip. The lever D is connected by a link E to the carrier 14. A pin D<5> and slot D<6> provides means for adjusting the amount of feed of the strip, and this slot is preferably arranged so that the adjustment does not alter the position occupied by the pawl D<2> at the beginning of its stroke.

Friction-grip fastenings.-In garment suspenders of the type in which the fabric is placed over a button and engaged by a loop member having a clip attached, the button is attached to the loop member by an independent piece of tape or suitable fabric. Lugs i are struck-up on the upper end of the loop plate a, and a lever clip k is pivoted in depressions j therein. The device is attached to a piece of elastic or other supporting-fabric by means of the clip k, which allows the position of the loop a to be adjusted along the length of the elastic support. The button c is attached to the loop plate a by a piece of tape f. The tape is passed through slots d, e in the plate a and through slots in the button bearing plate g.

Granted: 1910-02-17
Abstract: 4300. Harris, J. Feb. 22. Driving. - The winding of the spring motor of a gramophone is effected by moving a rocking frame carrying the record turntable, the sound - box and trumpet being fixed. A rocking frame 1, pivoted at 4 and carrying the turntable spindle 2, is connected by a chain 7 with the spring 5, to which a certain fixed amount of tension has already been imparted through its arbor 9 and by the aid of the ratchets 10 and pawls 11.

Abstract: 9766. Stumpf, J., and Stange, F. April 24. [Addition to 1830/07.] Sliding sashes in one plane.-Relates to windows of the type described in the parent Specification. The converging guide-grooves 2, 3 in the pulley stiles terminate in a cross groove or recess 4, which receives and retains the lower guide-pin 5 on the lower sash when the sash is turned down, so that the sash is prevented from being drawn up by the weights. The turning motion of the sash is resisted by a spring 7, the free end of which bears against the pin 5. A similar recess 13 may be formed in the groove 2, so that the upper sash may be turned down. Grooves 17, 17<a> are formed in the pulley stiles to allow the passage of the upper guide-pin 23 when the bolt 18 is released. Instead of the grooves 17, 17<a> and the bolt 18, the pulley stiles may be fitted with grooved plates 19, 20, and the sash may be provided with a spring bolt 21, as shown in Fig. 5. In a further modification shown in Fig. 10, a pin 30 is screwed to the frame opposite a groove 31 formed'-in the sash stile, the sash being prevented from turning in by a spring clip 33. In a further modification, the guiding means at the upper ends of the sashes consist of yokeshaped spring-bolts 25 fitted in a plate 24 on the sash, the bolt being forced back when pressed against the edge of the guide grooves.
