Abstract: 13,837. Fairweather, W., [Singer Manufacturing Co.]. June 13. Button - hole sewing-machines. -- Relates to machines in which the button-hole is cut after being stitched, and consists in providing the throat-plate with an independent knife aperture in permanent register with the punch, which occupies a fixed relation to the stitching- mechanism and is so positioned that the workholder brings the work to the cutting position during the stitching operation. The machine shown is constructed substantially as described in Specifications 18,153/03, 5621/04, and 4417/08. The throat-plate 17 is mounted on ribs of feet 14 and is provided with a transverse needle slot 18 and a longitudinal knife-slot 19 to the rear of the needle-slot. A cross-slide plate 54 is guided in the bed-plate and has an opening 55 of the length of the throat-plate and of greater width to permit of the transverse movement. A longitudinal slide-plate 56 is guided in ways on the plate 54 and has an opening 57 of greater length and width than the throat-plate 17. The plate 56 carries a bracket 58 on which is pivoted a block 60 carrying the spring-pressed clamping foot 62 which is apertured to admit the needle and knife, and which moves the work over the fixed throat-plate when the plates 54, 56 are operated from the feedcam 51. The upper knife-blade 26 has a flat lower face 26' forming a cutting punch of rectangular shape to co-operate with the similarly-shaped die 19. The aperture 19 is so placed as to allow the cuttings to fall clear of the shuttle-race.

Granted: 1913-02-20
Abstract: 19,441. Clarke, Chapman, & Co., and Walker, H. Aug. 24. Driving-gear for winding and paying-out apparatus; regulating and control-transmitting gear.-In a winch driven from a continuously running motor a through epicyclic gear regulated by two brakes controlled by a lever p, one brake l controlling the gear and the other k the running-down of the load under gravity, means are provided for positively paying-out the unloaded rope from the driving-motor, and for interlocking the brake lever with the paying-out gear. (1) On an extension b<1> of the motor shaft is mounted a pinion b<2> gearing with a spur-wheel q, which, by rotating a lever g abutting at its boss against inclined surfaces z, can be clutched to a sprocket-wheel s. The sprocket s is connected by a chain t to a sprocket u on the shaft of the drum c, which can thus be driven in the lowering direction. In a modification, the pinion b<2> gears with an internally-toothed wheel mounted on an eccentric fixed to the lever y. Operation of the lever brings a friction surface on the exterior of the wheel into engagement with a friction wheel on the drum shaft. (2) The levers p, y are interlocked by a pin y<2>, on a lever y<3> mounted on the shaft o of the lever p, riding in a slot in a link y<1> connected to the lever y. In a modification, the link y<1> works in vertical guides and has an abutment co-operating with a notch in a bolt working in horizontal guides and connected to the lever y<3>.

Abstract: 11,449. Mann & Co., G., and Evans, A. B. May 16. Delivery apparatus.- In drop sheet delivery apparatus of the kind in which the sheet when it is delivered on to tapes or the like is stationary relatively either to the tapes or the machine, and is subsequently carried by the tapes or the like to a position above the feedboard and dropped by the tapes rolling away from underneath, the tapes a are attached at one end to a roller d which, while travelling to and from the extreme positions d<1>, d<2>, is rotated only during a portion of the stroke at such times as to cause the tapes a to receive, convey, and drop the sheet e as desired. The tapes a are attached at the other end to a spring roller b. In the form shown in Fig. 1, the roller d, while passing from d<1> to d unwinds the tapes so as to support the sheet. The roller then stops rotating, and the tapes, with the sheet, are drawn out over the delivery board f. The roller d while returning from d<2> to d rotates and winds up the tapes from under the sheet, but it does not rotate while passing from d to d<1>. In a modification, the sheet is delivered on to the tapes in the reverse direction to that shown, and the tapes, while receiving the sheet, are unwound from the roller d to the roller b. The roller then ceases to rotate while continuing to move from d to d<2>. On the return stroke the roller d first winds up the tape from under the sheet, and then ceases to rotate while finishing its stroke.

Abstract: 3495. Holroyd, W. Feb. 11. Yarns, marking and measuring.-In measuring and marking mechanism for tape sizing and other machines, the index dial G, Fig. 1, carries two pins G<1>, G<2> arranged to turn a lever a<9>, which actuates the marking-hammer A by means of toggle-links a<3>, a<5> and also shifts the reversing-pinion D by means of a slide d<3> having projections d<4>, d<5> engaged by a pin a<4> carried by the toggle-links. The reversing-pinion D turns a pinion D', Figs. 1 and 2, engaging a toothed wheel D<2> carrying a pin engaging a toothed wheel H, which is mounted eccentrically upon the dial G and is arranged to turn a pointer h<1>. In order to set the measuring- mechanism, a pin H<2> is placed in a hole h<3> marked to correspond with the complete number of revolutions which must be made by the dial G, and a pin G<2> is placed in a hole g marked to correspond with the additional fraction of a revolution through which the dial G must turn. When the machine is working, each revolution of the wheel D<2> causes the wheel H to turn a distance equal to the pitch of its teeth, and, when the wheel H has moved through the required fraction of a revolution, a stop H<x> on the wheel H engages the stop H<2> or a fixed stop H', thus locking the wheel H to the dial G and causing the dial G to rotate with the wheel D<2>. When the pin G<2> or a pin G<1> fixed to the dial G strikes the lever a<9>, this turns and operates the hammer and the shifting-gear for the pinion D.

Abstract: 7112. Continental - Caoutchouc and Gutta-Percha Cie. March 22, 1913, [Convention date]. Hydrocarbon oils, cracking.-Heavy mineral oils are converted into lighter products by the catalytic action of a hydrocarbon-halogen-aluminium compound, particularly the oil body having the formula AL2CL6C8H16.6C6H6 which is formed as an intermediate product in the Friedel & Crafts reaction when aluminium chloride, ethyl chloride, and benzene are used as the starting-materials. The operation may be effected by boiling the heavy oil with the catalyst under a reflux condenser at ordinary or reduced pressure or by allowing hot petroleum to flow continuously on to the catalyst heated to 170‹ C. The catalyst may be absorbed in porous materials such as kieselguhr, in which case the vapour of the oil may be passed over the catalyst. The products are saturated hydrocarbons resembling benzine.

Title: An Improved Machine for Attaching Labels to Bottles.
Inventor: FLOWER ARTHUR LESLIE
Filed: 1914-04-07
Granted: 1914-08-13
Abstract: 8791. Flower, A. L. April 7. Coating - machines.- Consists of improvements in operating and supplying gum to the gumming-pads in that type of bottle-labelling machine in which the pads remove one label at a time from a block and apply it to a bottle, for instance as described in Specification 18,860/09. A bracket b sliding on a pillar a (two such pillars being provided in each machine) carries a gumming-pad g upon a spindle l provided with a wheel k attached to a chain j. The bracket is moved up and down by suitable means, the upper position in which it is ready to remove a label from the bottom of a pile being shown in dotted lines. The downward motion turns the gumming - pad through about 180 degrees in opposition to a spring m, and at the same time, a lever f carried by the bracket strikes a roller e and thus turns a dipper d so as to raise it out of the gum in a pot c and cause it to contact with the pad y. A roller h, provided with a spring i, removes surplus gum from the dipper d. The rotary motion of the gumming-pad g is limited in both directions by a double arm n and stop n.
