Abstract: 11,349. Haurkins, G. T., and Jones, R. M. May 7. Bevelling; channelling, grooving, etc.; splitting; vertical-cutter type for cutting sheet material in direction of feed. - A continuous welt-strip is formed from a number of sheets 2, Fig. 2, of leather &c., by uniting the ends to form an endless band, which is then cut spirally, the last two ends of the united sheets being joined out of alinement, thus forming a projection 4, at which cutting is commenced. The band 3 is rotated on the table 21 of the cutting- machine, Fig. 5, by means of rollers 7, 8, which feed the leather to a pair of knives 9, 10, the knife 9 cutting off a strip of the required width, which strip is simultaneously levelled or split and grooved by means of a knife 10.

Granted: 1910-10-13
Abstract: 21,289. Pugh, J. V. Sept. 13, 1909. Locking nuts.- Spring-pressed locking-means for the nuts used to secure detachable wheels such as are described in Specifications 18,300/08 and 20,932/09 are positively locked in their engaged position by screws, split pins, or cotters, which may be adapted to prevent the positioning of a spanner on the nut until the locking-pawls are free. The pawl a, Fig. 2, of the lock-nut is secured by means of a screw d, the head of which projects beyond the periphery of the nut. In placing the ring spanner in position for operating the nut a projection m, Fig. 1, on the nut has to be placed between two flanges i in the spanner, which has then to be moved to unwind the nut, the latter operation being impossible until the screw d has been removed. In the modification shown in Fig. 4, the pawl is locked by a split pin g passing through a hole in the projecting part e. The ring spanner is first placed behind the part e, and the pin g prevents it from being fitted round the nut.
