Title: Improvements in Machinery for Applying Re-inforcing Coverings to Insoles of Boots and Shoes.
Inventor: BROOKES ALFRED GEORGE
Filed: 1898-05-10
Granted: 1898-08-20
Abstract: 10,651. Brookes, A. G., [Hadaway, J. B.]. May 10. Insoles.-Particularly in welted shoes it is desirable to employ insoles of thin flexible leather reinforced by some textile fabric to enable them to withstand the strain of the stitching. A machine is described for applying such reinforcing fabrics, both to insoles having feathered edges and to those without, in which case a fold is made in the fabric to take the place of the usual lip on the leather insole. Fig. 2 shows a sectional side elevation of the head of the machine. The work rests on a revoluble table E<1> carried by an arm E pivoted at x and supported by a spring. It can be drawn down to allow the work to be inserted by means of a treadle acting through a chain on the rod p. The insole P, Fig. 19, is placed against an anvil or support I<1>, its outer edges resting against a gauge k<5> and the lip f against the port k<3>. The machine is then started and the presser-tool H<2> brought down to lay the fabric P' firmly against the cemented surface of the insole. By means of a cam and lever I the anvil I<1> is now moved longitudinally to feed the work under the beadforming tool N. At the same time the shaft F, lever H', and arm H<2> are similarly moved endwise. The tool N is now lowered as shown in Fig. 21, to press the fabric against the outer face of the lip f and the feather f<2>. Simultaneously the edge of the fabric is trimmed off between movable and fixed cutters 0 and L respectively, as shown in Fig. 20. When no lip is provided on the leather insole, the anvil I' is provided with a projection k<4>, Fig. 25, by which and the tool N a fold is provided in the fabric to take the place of the lip. The machine is driven by a pulley on the inner face of which there is cut a cam-groove, and on the driving-shaft is keyed a drum in which are cut three cam-grooves. By means of these grooves and levers the movable parts of the machine are operated.

Abstract: 16,045. Tack, P. July 22. Distilling oils, sulphuric acid, tar, etc.; distilling and condensing apparatus, general arrangement of; fractional distillation, apparatus for; liquids, spraying etc.; residues, treating; stills.-Relates to apparatus for distilling or concentrating tar, oils, sulphuric acid, and other liquids or semi-liquids. The liquid to be treated is preliminarily heated by the exhaust steam which passes away from the distilling-apparatus through the pipes 3, c, 4, while the liquid is forced upwards through the pipes a, b, e to a spray-producer which distributes it through the vessel f over a curved plate p<1>, whence it falls to the bottom of the vessel f and then proceeds in a circuitous manner through a series of concentric channels in a tray p and is heated by steam entering by the pipe 2 and passing along a series of concentric channels formed between those for the liquid. The vapours produced in f pass away first to a fractionator and then to a condenser, as do also those from the vessels r, t. The fractionator consists of two vessels one above the other, and the vapours are partly condensed in the lower vessel, and partly in the upper, while the lightest vapours pass away to the condenser. The heated liquid overflows down the pipe q into the vessel r, where it undergoes similar treatment to that in the vessel f, and then flows into the vessel t, which has no tray p, but the residue which collects in it is directly treated with live steam while flowing over a series of plates u ; this residue, which, when tar is being treated, constitutes a kind of pit coal pitch or asphalt, is carried over into a mixing. drum x, wherein it is mixed with heavy tar oils. Uncondensed gases are passed through a bath of heavy oils before being allowed to escape. A modified form of apparatus is described, in which the trays p are dispensed with and the liquid is heated outside the vessels and while traversing a series of double pipes arranged similarly to the pipes b, c. In this form of apparatus, the fractionator consists of a number of separate vessels on the same level with each other.

Title: Improvements in and relating to Method of and Means for Making Metallic Castings.
Inventor: ALLEN WILLIAM DANIEL
Filed: 1899-12-12
Granted: 1900-03-03
Abstract: 24,699. Allen, W. D. Dec. 12. Casting.-Relates to a method of and means for making metallic castings, such as dentures &c. The method consists in strongly heating the mould, and, after running in the metal, gradually withdrawing the source of heat, beginning at the bottom and working upwards. A better casting is thus obtained, and a metal or alloy which contracts very considerably may be used. The Figure shows an apparatus for carrying out this method. The mould B in the flask A is surrounded by a casing D, in which rings of openings e are formed for gas jets. Each ring communicates with a separate pipe f with a valve f<1>, so that the jets which impinge on the mould and on the surface of the molten metal may be extinguished ring by ring, beginning at the bottom. Surplus metal is poured into the mould to supply the space due to contraction.

Title: Improvements in Rheostats for Electric Motors.
Filed: 1900-07-03
Granted: 1900-08-18
Abstract: 11,991. British Thomson-Houston Co., [Hall, J. L.]. July 3. Switches.-Relates to resistance switches or rheostats for electric motors of large horse power. To prevent arcing at the rheostat contacts when the drum is automatically returned to its initial position, the arrangement is such that a short-circuit round the rheostat is closed after the motor is started up ; this short-circuit is automatically broken upon overload or other abnormal circuit conditions arising. The drum 1 carrying the contacts 1<a>, 1<b>, 1<c>, &c. is operated by toothed gearing 2, 4, the wheel 4 having its teeth cut away at one point so as to permit of free rotation of the wheel 2. When the resistances have been cut out, a cam 12 at the base of the drum acts on a roller 13, attached to a plunger in connection with a toggle 14, which causes a contact 15 to bridge the shortcircuit terminals. Thereupon the drum 1 is returned to its initial position by means of an internal spring. The switch 15 is kept closed against the action of a spring by a latch 16, which can be automatically released either by a series coil 18 or a shunt coil 19 upon overload or underload conditions arising.

Title: Improvements in Apparatus for the Moulding and Centrifugal Treatment of Sugar.
Inventor: LAFEUILLE JULES CHARLES FERNAN
Filed: 1900-12-22
Granted: 1901-11-16
Abstract: 23,508. Lafeuille, J. C. F. Dec. 22. Refining sugar.-Crystallized sugar is obtained in loaves or blocks, of any desired forms or sizes, by employing annular moulds formed of separable parts, and adapted to be placed in a centrifugal drum, in which the sugar is machined and liquored. Figs. 15 and 16 respectively represent, in sectional plan and elevation, moulds for producing one hundred and sixty loaves in the form of frusta of cones. The moulds, each consisting of two removable sections d, d<1>, are arranged within a filling-box a, comprising upper and lower annuli b, b<1>, connected by ties c. Removable bars f are placed between the ties and moulds, and keep the sections in position. Perforated diaphragms e are removably fitted between the upper and lower columns of moulds. The massecuite is run into the moulds through forty apertures b<2>, one for each column of moulds, in the upper annulus b<1>. After casting, the mass is allowed to cool and, if the mould sections are imperforate, the outer sections d are removed and replaced by perforated sections, and the inner sections d<1> are removed. The whole is then placed in the centrifugal drum. The moulds are formed so that the widest portions of a mould column are at the same level as the narrowest parts of the immediately-adjacent columns, in order to economize space. In another form of mould, for producing small balls or other blocks of sugar, the various mould cavities, formed in a series of superposed annuli, are connected by horizontal channels. A modified form of mould may have series of conical mould sections arranged radially and horizontally, and held together by means of an annular cover-plate, which is secured to fixed uprights or distance-pieces and carries funnels employed in casting the sugar. The moulds may be made of sheet metal, and may communicate with one another. For the purpose of facilitating the emptying of moulds, such as those shown in Figs. 15 and 16, a removable sector or wedge may be introduced within each ring of mould sections.

Title: Improvements in or relating to the Extraction of Tanning Substances and Apparatus therefor.
Inventor: BOEGEL GEORG FERDINAND
Filed: 1902-01-28
Granted: 1903-02-28
Abstract: 2303. B÷gel, G. F. Jan. 28. Tannins and tannic liquors.-Relates to the preparation of tanning-extracts from materials such as oak bark, pine bark, quebracho wood, &c. Fig. 1 shows in vertical section an apparatus for the extraction of easily-soluble tanning materials, such as those contained in oak bark. The apparatus comprises a rotary perforated drum b carried by a hollow shaft c and provided with discharge openings a. A perforated cylinder f surrounds the shaft. The finely-divided tanning-materials are supplied by a worm h to a receptacle g provided with peripheral slots, and the material passes slowly down the perforated wall b in a thin layer, being held thereto by centrifugal force. The drum b is surrounded by a stationary casing i provided with inclined partitions k, l, m, which divide the annular space between it and the drum into three portions. The shaft c is perforated throughout its middle portion, and is divided by a partition at c'. An injector u supplies water from a tank w to the lower section of the shaft, and the weak extract collected above the partition m is forced by a pump r through the pipe t to the upper section of the shaft. A stronger extract is thus collected at l, and is forced by the pump o through the pipe s to the worm h, where it meets with the supply of tanning-materials. The finished extract is collected at k and discharged by the pipe n. Fig. 5 shows, in plan, an apparatus for treating less-easily soluble materials, and Fig. 6 shows one of the centrifugal machines a<1>, a<2>, a<3>, a<4>, in section. Finely-divided tanning-material is introduced into all the centrifugals, and fresh water is supplied to one of them. The extract is passed either wholly to the next, or may be partly returned to the first machine. The finished extract is obtained from the last of the series. In Fig. 5, c<1> denotes the water-supply pipe, which communicates with the receptacles surrounding the centrifugals a' &c. through valves d', &c. and pipes b<1>, &c. One valve only is open at a time. Pumps f<1>, f<2>, f<3>, f<4> force the extract through the rising-pipes h<1>, &c., and rotatable pipes k<1>, l<1>, &c. enable the extract to be passed to the next machine, or partly returned, or conveyed through one of the funnels m<1>, m<2>, &c. to the discharge pipe n<1>. Any desired centrifugal can thus be made the last of the series. A connecting-pipe o' is provided, in order that the machine a<4> can be made to discharge into the machine a<1>, when necessary. The centrifugals are filled with fresh tanning-materials in turn, the water always entering the one in which the extraction has proceeded furthest.
