Abstract: 716,593. Pencil holders. PERGEAUX; L. F. J. Nov. 20, 1052 [Dec. 7, 19511, No: 29378/52. Class 146(3) [Also in Group XVII] A holder for crayons and other stick-like articles, comprises a pusher 5 having a portion 5c projecting through a straight slot 1c in the casing, for advancing the crayon, and a locking plate 6 for preventing retraction of the crayon. The plate 6 and pusher 5 have recesses 5a, 6a for articulation to a stirrup I riveted to a cup 2 holding, the crayon. A spring 7 forces the plate 6- upwardly so that recesses 6b jam against the sides of the slot 1c to prevent retraction of the crayon. The crayon is retracted, when required, by pressing down the plate 5 which swings the plate 6 on to a stop 4f, thus permitting the sides of the recesses 6b to be slid along the edges of the slot 1c.

Abstract: 468,914. Shaping and printing cardboard blanks. BOBST ET FILS SOC. ANON., J. Oct. 30, 1936, No. 29551. Convention date, Nov. 6, 1935. [Class 100 (ii)] Cardboard box blanks of the forms shown in Figs. 2 and 3 made from a continuous web are drawn by grippers to a printing device, by the joining fold 15 or 16 of the blank so that the blank itself may be properly printed. In the form shown in Fig. 1, the web 2 is led over rollers 3, 4 to a printing device 5. An oscillating gripper 7 maintains the web in place while it is severed by member 12 and then passes it to one of grippers 9, 10 or 11 on a cylinder. the rotation of which causes the printing of the blanks moving in the direction B, Fig. 3, i.e. in the direction of movement of the web. For the blanks shown in Fig. 2, the movement of the blank is perpendicular to that of the web, the movement being in the direction B, Fig. 2.

Abstract: 465,160. Boots and shoes. EVERSTON, J. H. Oct. 30, 1935, No. 29958. [Class 17 (ii)] Insoles.-Supplementary cushion means 18, to a cushion bottom filler 15, are provided between the foot and the inturned margins of the upper of a through-stitched or McKay shoe and these supplementary means overlap the cushion pad and are of similar material thereto. The supplementary cushion means 18, are placed beneath the first and fifth metatarsal heads and may be inserted in cavities hollowed out from the inner surface of the insole 9 and covered by a cover ply 19 and sock liner 20, as shown, or the cushions may be inserted in cavities formed after a flap has been split from the edges of the insole and raised to permit the cushions to lie between the upper and lower faces of the insole 9. Alternatively, there may be left sufficient substance outside the outer edges of the cushion pads 18 to permit the through stitches which secure the outer sole to pass through without producing compression of the cushion pads 18. This may be done by splitting the insole at the forepart and hollowing out the underflap portion at its upper face, after raising the top flap, to a uniform depth right across but with additional depth for the cushion pads 18, so that an additional cushion ply is provided. The pads 18 are of maximum thickness over the means which connect the upper to the insole and taper in thickness towards the centre of the insole.

As shown, the members 3, 16 are flanges on a member 2 secured to the shaft 1 by a pin 4 and on a barrel 15 enclosing the annulus 19, The pinion 8 is integral with a sleeve 6 slidably journalled on the shaft 1 and having a screw-thread 9 for engagement with the flange 16. The pinion is normally held by a light spring 11 in contact with a stop 12, and with the flange 16 engaging a smooth portion 17 of the sleeve 6. A ring 25 in the barrel limits the extension of the annulus 19 when the pinion is brought by rotation of the shaft 1 &c. into mesh with the member 7. In a modification, Fig. 6, the pinion 64 is within the drive in the idle position and moves outwards into mesh with the engine member 65. A screwed member 66 is welded to the pinion and co-operates with a threaded sleeve 79 carrying a flange 81. The ends of the annulus 83 are attached to the flange 81 and to a flange 75 of a barrel 68 secured on the starter shaft by a disc 69 and drive member 62. The flange 75 and disc 69 are secured to the barrel by lugs engaging notches in the barrel and retained by lock rings 74, 78.

Class 73 [Also in Groups XVI and XXXV] In a machine for winding electrical coils from ribbons of conductive material (see Group XVI), rolls 180, 148, Fig. 7, of adhesive tape are positioned on either side of the path of foil F, the roll 180 being mounted between plates 103 and the roll 148 between plates 128. The plates 103 receive a tube 106 secured to links, not shown, pivotally mounted on rod 56, the tube 106 being connected by flexible tubes 206 to a tube 100 having perforations 201 and to a vacuum pump, not shown. The ends of the tube 106 are closed by bolts 111 (Fig. 1, not shown) carrying studs 113 engaging the cam surface 34, Fig. 3. Thus, pivotal movement of a carriage 32, Fig. 7, causes upward and downward movement of the tube 106 according to the shape of the cam 34. A tube 126 having perforations 176, is mounted in the plates 128 also pivotally mounted on the rod 56. The tube 126, also connected to the vacuum pump, not shown, is closed by bolts 139 (Fig. 1, not shown) carrying studs 140 engaging cam grooves 38, Fig. 3. A winding spindle 26, Fig. 7, and cores C are inserted in the machine with the carriage in its rear starting position as indicated by the stud positions 113a, 140a of the studs 113, 140 in Fig. 3. The carriage is then pivoted forwards so that the studs reach positions 113b, 140b. The foil F, Fig. 7, and an insulation strip I are then attached to the core C and the spindle 26 is driven to wind a coil on the core C. When the coil is complete the carriage 32 is pivoted rearwardly, such that the tube 100 presses tape T 1 , held by suction thereto, into contact with the wound coil (stud positions 113c, 140c, Fig. 3). Blades 210, 214 sever the strip I. The spindle 26 is then rotated manually through 270 degrees to wind a partial turn of insulating tape T 1  having a pressure sensitive adhesive on one surface around the wound coil I, Fig. 12. The carriage 32 is moved rearwardly to correspond to stud positions 113a, 140a, Fig. 3, and a second insulating tape T 2 , Fig. 7, is applied by tube 126 held by suction thereto, to the coil 1 and then wrapped around 90 degrees of the periphery by manually rotating the spindle 26. Blades 218, 220 cut the foil F during this movement of the carriage 32. Knife 228 is then swung downwardly and tape T 1  is drawn past the knife by rotating spindle 26, thereby cutting the tape. Tape T 2  is then cut manually and the completed coil is removed after swinging the carriage 32 into starting position.
