Stapling.-Relates to a machine for stapling two or more layers of material, as, for instance, the welts and uppers to the insoles of boots and shoes, or the uppers to the soles in " turned work, by a series of anchor or hook-shaped staples. The general arrangement of the machine resembles the well-known "Goodyear" welt-sewing machine. A band of such staples a is reeled off through a raceway comprising a bracket c and a movable slide b, the latter being reciprocated by a forkended pivoted lever p actuated by a disk cam on the main shaft 11. In the front part of the slide b is mounted a double lever d, which receives an up-and-down motion through pivoted levers, shown in dotted lines from another disk cam on the shaft 11. The lever d has a knife-like projection d', which presses against the band a behind one of the staple heads, and, when the slide b moves forwards, feeds it along so that the point of the foremost staple passes through a hole previously pierced through the materials by an awl i. The upward movement of the lever d then causes the knife d<1> to sever the end staple from the band, after which the point of the staple projecting through the work is bent over by a clinching-tool s, hinged on an oscillating pivot v actuated by cams and rollers from the shaft 11. A recessed end portion d<2> of the lever d serves as an anvil during the clinching operation. The clincher s, awl i, and also a feeding-device 2 which engages the channel cut in the boot sole, are all actuated by mechanisms similar to those used on the " Goodyear weltsewing machine. A welt gauge 9 and work-guide 10 of usual construction are also provided.

Granted: 1906-05-10
Abstract: 17,301. Morton, A. H. Nov. 9, 1904, [date applied for under Patents Act, 1901]. Conveyers.-Cotton is carried from the baleopening room through a pneumatic conveyer 1, Fig. 3, terminating in a condenser 3 of ordinary construction which separates the air from the cotton, the former passing off through an exhaust pipe 4 and the latter being delivered on to a travelling-belt 7, Fig. 1, which distributes it to the various hopper feeders 10 beneath. The sides of the belt 7 are enclosed by walls 9 which on one side are broken by openings 10<x> and on the other have hinged parts 11 adapted to be swung across as shown in Fig. 1, automatically or by hand, so as to divert the cotton through the openings 10<x> into the feeders 10 beneath. The arrangement for automatically opening and shutting the gates 11 is shown in Fig. 4. A lever 24 controlling the gate is pivoted at 25 on the frame of the feeder, and is brought into connexion with a reciprocating rod 28, actuated by a constantly rotating part 29 through the medium of an attached trip-lever 22 pivoted at 23. When the trip-lever is inclined so that its arm is in contact with a dog 32, the eccentric rod 28 acts in one direction only to keep the gate shut ; when the trip-lever is inclined in the opposite direction so that its arm is engaged by the dog 33, the rod 28 acts to open the gate ; a spring- actuated catch-lever 41 helps to hold the gate in its open or closed position. The trip-lever is automatically actuated as soon as the weight of cotton in the feeder reaches an arranged minimum. When this occurs, a weighted segment 17 overcomes the resistance of the cotton to a feeler 13 and causes the latter to swing inwards, thereby reversing the trip-lever through a link 20.

Title: Manufacture of a New Salicylic Acid Derivative.
Inventor: WELLCOME HENRY SOLOMON
Filed: 1906-03-24
Granted: 1906-09-13
Abstract: 7125. Wellcome, H. S., Jowett, H. A. D., and Pyman, F. L. March 24. Cinnamyl salicylic acid and its salts and ethers are obtained by the condensation of salicylic acid or its esters with cinnamyl chloride, with or without a condensing-agent. In an example, equimolecular proportions of salicylic acid and cinnamyl chloride are mixed and heated together at 100‹ C. for three hours. The product, a mixture of the new acid with salicylic acid and cinnamic acid, is dissolved in the least possible quantity of hot benzene ; on standing, crystals of cinnamyl salicylic acid of melting-point 155‹ C. separate out. The action is represented by the equation- C7H6O3+C9H7OCl=C16H12O4+HCl. In another example equimolecular proportions of methyl salicylate and cinnamyl chloride are mixed and heated to 90‹ C. ; an equimolecular proportion of dried potassium carbonate is added and the temperature maintained at 90‹ C. for two hours. The mixture is allowed to cool, and is shaken with a mixture of ether and water. The aqueous solution is completely extracted with ether and acidified, and cinnamic acid separates out. The combined ethereal solutions are extracted several times with caustic soda solution, and methyl salicylate is recovered by acidifying and extracting with ether. The ethereal solution is evaporated to a low bulk, and the last traces of ether removed in vacuo. The methyl cinnamyl salicylate is washed with petroleum ether, dried and crystallized from methyl alcohol. The colourless crystals have a melting-point of 71‹ C., and the composition C17H14O4. Other esters may be similarly prepared. The sodium salt may be prepared by neutralizing the cinnamyl salicylic acid with sodium carbonate solution, and evaporating to dryness. The quinine salt is produced by mixing equimolecular proportions of quinine and cinnamyl salicylic acid, in alcoholic solutions, the quinine being in boiling solution. On cooling, crystals of quinine cinnamyl salicylate separate out. Other salts may be prepared by combining the acid with the base by known methods.
