Title: Improvements in or relating to Protectors for the Heels of Boots, Shoes and other Footgear.
Inventor: LUXMOORE WILLIAM JOHN
IPC: A43C13/02
Filed: 1912-01-24
Granted: 1912-07-11
Abstract: 1927. Luxmoore, W. J. Jan. 24. Protectors, construction of; protectors, securing.- A heel-shaped ring B, Fig. 1, of rubber or rubber composition is sprung over the prepared lower part of the heel so as to lie flush with both its tread and sides. The ring may be wider at those parts subjected to greatest wear. The heel may be provided with fixed or loose pins, to assist in holding the ring in position. In some cases, the ring is sprung over a top lift, and the composite tread is then secured to the heel by nails etc.; this is particularly applicable in the case of circular protectors. Figs. 4 and 5 show a modified construction, in which the breast of the protector consists of one or more wires F secured in eyelets G. These wires are placed in grooves H in the heel breast, and the protector is then sprung into position as before. The heel or top lift, or both, are preferably made of Syrolit, a material described in Specification 13,601/09, [Class 22, Cements &c.].

Title: Wireless System to Selectively Call Up Stations (without Disturbing others) whether Distant Operator be in Attendance or Absent.
Inventor: JAMIESON FRANK
IPC: H04W88/02
Filed: 1912-08-20
Granted: 1913-04-10
Abstract: 19,014. Jamieson, F. Aug. 20. Switches partly electro-magnetic.-A switch, used for wireless calls, comprises contacts L, L<1>, a cam C driven by clockwork A for pressing them together, and three magnets G, M, P<1> in a common circuit for controlling the action of the switch. When the common circuit is energized the magnet P<1> releases the highspeed spindle of the clockwork train A, the magnet G clutches the friction plate D of the cam C, which is loosely mounted on the clockwork spindle B, to a friction disk E fixed to the spindle, and the magnet M withdraws the spring contact-column L, L<1> from the path of the cam C. If the current in the controlling- magnets persists for a predetermined time, the clockwork drives the cam until its nose is opposite a hinged pin K, and upon cessation of the current the contact-column L, L' returns to its initial position, and the cam C acts upon the pin K to press the contacts L, L', into engagement. During the return of the cam by a spring J, the hinged pin K is lifted without closing the circuit. Under the influence of a current persisting for a shorter or longer time than the predetermined time, the cam C assumes such a position that the circuit L, L<1> is not closed upon cessation of the current.

Title: Improvements in Fastenings for Leggings, Gaiters, Boots, Surgical or other Belts and the like.
Inventor: TAYLOR JOEL JAMES SPILLER COUR
IPC: A41F1/00
Filed: 1912-08-28
Granted: 1913-08-28
Abstract: 19,692. Taylor, J. J. S. C., [Eddels, C. C. W.]. Aug. 28. Stud-and-socket fastenings.-Relates to fastenings for leggings, boots, belts, &c., of the kind in which a metal tongue or the like engages a wire loop or socket, and consists in improvements in the wire member and its means of attachment. According to the invention, an elongated wire body is formed with the loop or socket portion at right - angles to the general plane of the body; the device is detachably secured to the legging &c. by means of fixing- plates through one or both of which the wire passes, one or both ends of the wire engaging one of the plates. Figs. 2, 3, and 4 show one form in which two plates b are riveted together at d<1>, one being above and one below the leather &c. d, to which the fastening-device is to be secured. The wire member b<2>, b3, bent to form the loop b<1> with which the other portion of the fastening (not shown) engages, is passed through holes in both plates and the end b<3> engages in a bent portion a<1> of the lower plate. In another form, the end b<3> is engaged by a looped member pivoted on the lower plate. In further modifications, one of which is shown in Fig. 6, the upper plate is tapered at one end to pass through the loop b<1>, the longer end b<3> of the wire member being bent up and turned over to pass through a slot x in the top plate. The wire body may be secured to the leather &c. only at the end provided with the loop b<1>, by fixing-plates b, as shown in Figs. 22 and 24, the other end b<11> being L-shaped, and passing through a slit in the leather. Another device is shown in Fig. 12, in which both ends of. the wire are provided with heads f<1> which are inserted through holes h<1> at the ends of slots h in the upper plate, the plate being then moved until a tongue f<2> thereon passes through the loop b<1>, as shown. A number of devices of the kinds described may be employed on each legging, to provide for the passage of a strap e through the projecting loop portions b<1>, Fig. 21; or a single wire body may extend the whole length of the legging. In the latter case, the wire body may be provided at each end with a loop b<1>, the two loops being at right-angles to each other, and one of them being adapted for the passage of a strap, Fig. 17. The fastening may be employed to secure a legging to the upper of a boot. This is illustrated in Fig. 31, which shows, from the inside of the boot, one of the devices already described passed through holes in the boot d<11>, as well as through the legging d.

Abstract: 17,814. Perkin, W. H., Bradbury, S., and Whipp Bros. & Todd. Aug. 5. [Cognate Applications, 20,971/13 and 24,088/13.] Impregnating-compositions.-In a process for rendering cotton fibres and goods and other permeable combustible substances permanently less inflammable, the materials are first treated with a solution of alkaline aluminate, then dried sufficiently to deposit the arnminate therein, and afterwards subjected in the presence of moisture to an atmosphere largely composed of carbonic acid gas. Raw cotton, wood, closely woven fabrics, and other bodies not easily permeable may have the liquid and gas forced or drawn through in any known or suitable way. Steam, a moist atmosphere, or fine spray may be used for moistening. Fixing may be accelerated by raising the temperature. Advantage may be taken of the heat of chemical action caused by the treatment of a large mass of material. Where steam is used, the carbon dioxide may also be heated separately. In treating flannelette, a 30‹ À Tw, solution of sodium aluminate may be used, followed by treatment with a 50 per cent carbon dioxide atmosphere at a temperature of 80‹ C. 10 to 100 per cent carbon dioxide may be used.

Granted: 1914-04-09
Abstract: 19,488. Farbenfabriken vorm. F. Bayer & Co. Aug. 30, 1912, [Convention date]. Sulphonated diaminotriphenylmethane dyes are obtained by condensing an aromatic aldehyde, containing no alkylamino group in p-position to the aldehyde group, with two 'molecules of an alkyl- or aralkyl-m-toluidine, or mixtures of these bodies, sulphonating the resulting leuco compound, and oxidizing the product; the order of the last two operations may be reversed. The same dyes are obtained by condensing the aldehyde with sulphonic acids of the alkyl- or aralkyl-m-toluidines, or mixtures thereof, and oxidizing the resulting leuco compounds; in this case further sulphonation may be effected before or after the oxidation. According to examples: -benzaldehyde is condensed with ethyl - p - sulphobenzyl-mtoluidine, and the product oxidized; benzaldehyde is condensed with diethyl - m - toluidine, and the product oxidized and sulphonated; ethylbenzyl-m-toluidine, p-tolylaldehyde, chlorbenzaldehydes, sulphobenzaldehydes, &c. are also mentioned as parent materials. The products dye yellowish-green shades. Specifications 1761/00 and 18,448/00 are referred to.
