Title: Improvements in or relating to Machines for Trimming the Heels and other Parts of Boots and Shoes.
Inventor: BOULT ALFRED JULIUS
Filed: 1908-07-16
Granted: 1909-07-15
Abstract: 15,092. Boult, A. J., [United Shoe Machinery Co.]. July 16. No Patent granted (Sealing fee not paid). Paring.-Relates to trimming-machines, particularly for heels, and consists in the provision of a counter guard stepped in concentric steps, and also in. an improved cutter head. The cutter is of known type, and consists of an inner ribbed plate 8, Fig. 1, formed with eccentric ribs which engage grooves in the cutters 12, and an outer ribbed plate 14 having ribs similar to those on the plate 8. The plate 14 is provided with a hub on which is mounted a flanged hub 28 of an upper or counter guard 30. The end of the cutter shaft 2 is reduced and threaded to receive a reversible nut 32, which is formed with a polygonal flange 34. A spring 38, located between this flange and the flange 36 on the hub 28, b olds the guard 30 yieldingly in contact with the plate 14, the outer face of which is recessed to receive a bulge on the guard. This prevents any chattering during the operation of the machine. The guard 30 projects over the periphery of the plate 14, but is adapted to be forced back by the heel if the latter is of greater width than the distance between the guard and the top lift plate 22. If the amount of play of the guard is insufficient, the nut. 32 may be reversed. To provide means for varying the distance that the upper or counter is held away from the path of the cutters, the guard 30 is formed with three preferably concentric surfaces a, b, c, Fig. 2, at different distances from the axis of rotation of the cutter head. A pin carried by the jaws of a clamp 44 is adapted to engage one or other of three holes in the hub 28, to hold the desired working face of the guard in correct operative position. To prevent the peripheral surface of the plate 14 from rubbing against the work, it is backed off behind the cutting- edges of the cutters.

Patent GB-190827128-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in or relating to Matrix Setting and Type Line Casting Machines.
IPC: B41B11/00
Filed: 1908-12-14
Granted: 1909-07-22
Abstract: 27,128. Degener, H., and General Composing Co. Dec. 14. Type-bar making machines.-Relates to means for ensuring the entry of the matrices into the proper channels of the magazine during distribution. It may happen that a matrix does not fall immediately on reaching that part of the distributing-bar which corresponds with its notches, but is carried on a short distance further so that in falling it is apt to strike a partition of the magazine. In order to prevent this, each matrix is provided at its lower end with an inclined recess f, Fig. 4, which, as the matrix falls, strikes a horn g on the magazine partition, whereby the matrix is guided into the proper channel. The same result may be obtained by shifting the distributing-bar b to the left so that a larger path is afforded for the falling matrices. In order to avoid the danger, which then arises, of a thick matrix falling too soon and striking the previous magazine partition, the thick matrices are provided with recesses f on the other side, as shown in Fig. 3. The recesses f may be formed as shown in Fig. 5 so that the lower parts of the working lateral edges c are cut away. In this way, damage to the matrices during assembly, owing to a falling matrix striking with its sharp bottom edge the working ledges of the previous matrix, is prevented.

Granted: 1910-01-06
Abstract: 2176. Siemens Bros. Dynamo Works, [Siemens-Schuckertwerke]. Jan. 29. Systems for continuous-current motors only.-Two shunt or separately excited motors, the armatures of which are mounted upon the same or separate shafts and can be connected up in series or parallel, are so arranged that, with series connexion, one of the motors is employed to regulate the speed by varying its excitation, and, with parallel connexion, the excitaticn of both motors is varied. The control is effected by a switch, the arm g of which carries three bridging-pieces adapted to connect the various contact rings of the switch according to the position of the arm. When the arm g is in a vertical position, the motors are switched out of circuit. Upon rotating the arm in a clockwise direction, the armatures a, bare connected in series across the main through a resistance c, and the fields a', b<1> are placed in parallel. A further rotation of the arm cuts out the resistance c, until, in the position indicated by the letter l, all the resistance has been cut out. A further rotation of the arm gradually introduces a resistance d in the field circuit a<1> of the motor a, and, when the arm g occupies the position indicated by the letter m, all this resistance is inserted. A still further rotation of the arm g places the armatures a, b in parallel, and gradually inserts resistances e, f in the shunt fields a<1>, b<1>. To reverse the motors, the arm g is turned in an anti-clockwise direction, or a separate switch is provided for reversing the current in the armatures or fields. The arrangement may be employed for varying the speed of ships' screws, fans, and the like.
