Title: Improvement relating to Machines for Copying Letters.
Inventor: OCTAVE ANATOLE
Filed: 1907-11-08
Granted: 1908-05-14
Abstract: 24,773. Octave, A. Nov. 8. Copying documents &c.-Machines for copying letters are provided with means for wetting the paper, cutting it after copying, stopping the revolving cylinder during cutting, and mounting the paper roll to regulate the delivery of the paper. The copying-paper passes from a roll e round the wetting-roller f, which can be depressed into a water vessel g by pressing down the hand-lever f<3> on the shaft of a pair of toothed wheels f<2> gearing with racks f<1> pivoted to arms carrying the roller f. The letter is fed from a plate l, and passes with the copying-paper between a roller h and a pressure roller above it. The paper is cut by a knife s working in vertical slides s<1>. A pinion is continuously rotated by a handle 10 and gears with continuous teeth on a wheel 7 by which the axle 7<1> is made always to rotate. A wheel 6 on the shaft of the printing-cylinder h gears with the wheel 7, but is driven intermittently by a mutilated part of the wheel 7, so that the cylinder is stopped while the cutting takes place. One end of the knife s is first depressed by an arm v pivoted at v<1> and operated by a cam x through a lever z and link 1, and the other end of the knife is then depressed in a similar manner by a cam y. The paper is cut against the edge of a fixed bar. To vary the length of the paper cut off, a second set of gear-wheels may be provided on the opposite side of the machine, in which case the two sets can be connected or disconnected at will. The roller 15, Fig. 4, on which the web is wound has at each end an annular groove 16, in which fits the cup-shaped extremity 18 of a spindle. One of these spindles 17 is screwed through the side of the machine, and by turning the handle 20 the unwinding of the paper may be regulated. A lock-nut 19 is provided to secure the spindle in any position.

Patent GB-190820403-A (GB)
Title: An Improved Method of and Apparatus for Making or Repairing Roads and Ways.
Inventor: BRADSHAW ROBERT WOOD
Filed: 1908-09-28
Granted: 1909-09-28
Abstract: 20,403. Bradshaw, R. W. Sept. 28. [Cognate Application No. 7407, A.D. 1909, dated March 27.] Roads and ways, making and repairing; asphalt paving; materials, laying down and spreading l i q u i d s. distributing; road rollers. -In making macadam roads, the top filling of fine material is replaced by asphalt, the loose macadam being first heated preferably by hot air blown by a fan on to the road surface. The heating-appliance may comprise a box 1, Fig. 1, with a side door 7 and a perforated bottom 4 divided into two compartments by a perforated partition 3, the upper compartment, with walls 2 of refractory material, being filled with burning fuel. Air blown by a fan enters through a tube 5 at the top past baffle-plates 6. The heater, which may be provided with wheels, is either passed over the road by band or fixed in advance of a road roller. The asphalt, heated in a tank carried by the roller; is fed into frames with side plates 8, Figs. 3 and 6; preferably double, to prevent the asphalt from spreading sideways. Fig. 3 shows the frame attached to the front roller, a cross beam 10 being connected to the roller yoke 9 by pivoted rods 11. Rollers 12 bear on the front roller and by the eccentric pivoting of the rods 11 prevent upward movement of the plates 8. Fig. 6 shows the frame attached to one of the rear rollers by means of rigid arms 15 and forward spring arms 16 to enable the turned-up forward ends of the plates 8 to ride over obstructions. Instead of the road roller a plunger may be used within the frame for ramming the asphalt, and the previous heating of the loose macadam may be produced by a heated plunger. As a modification the loose macadam may be heated before being spread on the road by means of apparatus described in Specification No. 2198, A.D. 1909, [Abridgment Class Mixing &c.]. A scraper 13, Fig. 3, mounted on the roller yoke 9 is provided with a sheet-metal receptacle 14 to catch the asphalt removed.
Patent GB-190822839-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in or relating to Lasting or like Machines.
Inventor: KEYES EUGENE LINCOLN
IPC: A43D43/06
Filed: 1907-10-28
Granted: 1909-10-21
Abstract: 22,839. Keyes, E. L. Oct. 28, 1907, [date applied for under Section 91 of Patents &c. Act, 1907]. Lasting; nailing.-A machine for use in completing the lasting of that portion of a lasted and welted shoe which lies between the foremost heel tack and the end of the inseam, comprises tack delivering and driving devices of usual construction actuated from a main shaft, which is adapted to be put into operation by the pressure of the work against the tack nozzle 20, Fig. 1. Beneath this nozzle is arranged a spring plate 25, Figs. 1, 3, and 5, which is curved at 29 and adjustably secured to the machine support 26. This plate, which is formed at its front end with lateral extensions 27, 28 adapted to enter the welt crease of a shoe, carries a member or device 30 for engaging the edge of the welt, Figs. 3 and 5, and a member 32 which overlies the welt. The members 30, 32 are adjustable respectively for welts of different widths and thicknesses. In use, the operator presents the shoe against the extensions 27, 28 of the plate 25, to tighten the upper by forcing it inwards and upwards over the last, and, if the inseam is near the upper edge of the sewing-lip, to bend the lip so as to carry the seam inwardly over the insole. The shoe is preferably turned relatively to the plate 25 to increase the pressure against the upper at the rear of the seam ; during this movement, the member 30, which may be set either square or obliquely to the plate 25, engages and bends the butt end of the welt, at and in the rear of the end of the seam, over the last bottom. The plate 32 serves to prevent the welt from buckling as it is being turned inwards. The pressure of the work against the plate 25 causes the latter to bend at 29, and this movement carries the shoe into engagement with the nozzle 20, which is roughened to serve as a means for forcing the stock on the last bottom inwardly away from the edge of the last as the shoe is turned. The shoe is then pressed upwardly against the nozzle to start the machine, and a tack is driven through the welt and the upper into the insole. The machine may conveniently be used for tacking on the shank-stiffener 45, Fig. 3, the plate 25 serving as a yielding presser to force the stiffener down upon the insole adjacent to the point where it is to be tacked.
