Abstract: 14,061. Langenohl & Tillmanns Fusswohlschuhfabrik Akt.-Ges. Nov. 28, 1908, [Convention date]. Connecting uppers to insoles and soles.- Welted foot-wear is constructed without the aid of lasts by sewing the welt or welt-insole to the edge of an unshaped upper and subjecting the front and back parts consecutively to pressure, so as to bring them into the desired shape and turn the welt into the plane of the sole. A shaped sole is provisionally secured to the welt by cement, the upper being meanwhile held in shape, if desired, by a divided templet which enters the angle between the upper and the welt. The sole and welt are finally united by a double marginal seam. Suitable auxiliary devices partly or wholly filling the shoe may be employed to assist in fixing on the sole. The upper is supported by templets engaging the angle between the welt and the upper during shaping. Fig. 4 shows, in section, an upper 1 and attached welt 2 supported by a templet 4 during the provisional attachment of the sole 3. A fllling-piece 5 and insole 6 may be attached to the sole before its application to the welt, or after the closing of the boot. Fig. 8 shows a similar stage in which a welt insole 2 is used, its inner edges abutting down the centre of the boot and obviating the use of a filling-piece.

Filed: 1909-11-19
Granted: 1910-06-02
Abstract: 26,929. K÷rber, H. Nov. 20, 1908, [Convention date]. Resistances applicable for heating, lighting and motor-starting are made from a glassy material composed of a precious metal, water-glass, a manganese oxygen compound, and aluminium, the last named being burnt to oxide in the manufacture ; they may have positive or negative temperature coefficients according to the proportion of the manganese compound used. The mixture may be calcined at 1000‹ C., powdered, freed from unburnt aluminium, made plastic with water - glass and pressed into shape, and finally heated until constant, either by passage of current alone, or with a preliminary heating by a hot flame. A mixture for a resistance with a negative coefficient may contain silver, 8 parts by weight, waterglass 8À5 parts, brownstone 4 parts, and aluminium 0À5 part. For a positive coefficient, less brownstone is used, and more aluminium, for instance a mixture of silver 9-10 parts, water-glass 8À5 parts, brownstone 0À2-0À5 part, and aluminium 1 part. Gold or platinum may be used, the latter for lighting bodies, which do not require a vacuum ; potash water-glass is preferred. Silver &c. wires forming terminals are embedded in a "contact" mass containing more precious metal, which is then covered with the resistant material and consolidated by pressure in a mould. Such contacts will sustain a temperature of 600‹ C.

Granted: 1911-10-16
Abstract: 23,936. Drews, J. O. Oct. 15. Crushers w i t h vibrating jaws; cracking nuts.-Cohune and other nuts are cracked between a stationary jaw B, Fig. 1, and a reciprocating jaw B<1>, the opposing faces of the jaws being inclined to one another, and the moving jaw having a slight backward movement prior to the actual cracking movement to allow the nuts to adjust themselves between the jaws. The jaw B<1> is connected by a rod G<1> to a spring - controlled bar G, which is slidably pivoted at its lower end g to the base of the machine, and carries at its upper end a roller g' engaging a cam G<2> on the driving - shaft H. The nuts are fed from the hopper A by a sliding block C, which has a slot C' to register with the neck of the hopper and carries two sets of resilientlymounted combs D, D' working in the neck of the hopper one above the other at a distance approximately equal to the diameter of a nut. A rod E<1> connects the block C to a spring-controlled bar E, which is pivoted at its lower end e and carries a roller e<1> engaging the cam E<2>. Hinged plates A', which may be adjustable by screws a<1>, are fitted in the neck of the hopper, and a plate A<Î> is provided in the hopper for stopping the feed when desired. Figs. 3 and 4 show part of a double machine in which the movable jaws B' slide between guides and are actuated by plungers K connected by links K<1> to the ends of a pivoted cross-bar J' which is oscillated by a handle J. Springs B‹ hold the jaw B' in its normal position, and the plunger K carries a spindle K<2> with bell-crank levers at its ends. When the plunger strikes the jaw and carries it forward, the arms K<4> of the levers engage projections on the jaw, and this is drawn back with the plunger until the other arms of the levers strike against stops K<0> on the walls of the machine, whereupon the jaw is released and then returned by the springs B‹. For feeding the nuts, a block N carried by an oscillating arm M and having its upper surface scooped out so as to serve, when in its lowest position, as the base of the feeding-trough N', is employed. The nuts are lifted by the block, and they roll off and fall into the space between the jaws. A link L<2> connects the pivoted arm M to a member L, which is caused to slide on a fixed rod L' by means of the slotted extension J<3> of the handle J engaging a pin on the member L. The cracked nuts may be shaken in any suitable receptacle, and the shells and kernels afterwards separated in a bath of water.

Abstract: 26,937. Vogtlõndische Maschinen- Fabrik (vorm. J. C. & H. Dietrich) Akt.-Ges. Nov. 20, 1909, [Convention date]. Embroidery machines.-In an automatic embroidery machine, the jacquard needle 8 which controls the cord-laying devices 11 also controls the scallop mechanism when the machine is running at the low speed. The scallop mechanism 24, 25, 26 is arranged to be operated by a cam 23, which is normally stationary but is driven from the wheel 2 when an idle wheel 15 is raised into gear with the wheel 16. To obtain this, the speed-controlling switch 19 is put to the slow position by the jacquard control 20, 21, 22, and, thereby, a rod 17 is operated to remove its lock upon a lever 14 carrying the pinion 15. The needle 8 is then actuated to bring the cord-laying gear, which is not provided with a cord when the machine is scalloping, into operative position; this actuates the rod 12 and removes the second lock upon the lever 14. This lever, thereupon, moves under the action of a spring 18 which has been extended by the movement of the rod 17 and the scallop mechanism is brought into action. For cord-laying, the machine is run at the high speed, and when the cord-laying gear is operated by the jacquard needle 8 the scallop mechanism is not brought into action because the rod 17 continues to lock the lever 14. Also, when the cord-laying gear is held out of operation, the machine can be run at the low-speed without actuating the scallop mechanism.
