Title: Improvements in shoe and method of making the same
IPC: A43B9/14
Filed: 1945-11-21
Abstract: 604,035. Making footwear. AYERS, F. L. Nov. 21, 1945, No. 31384. Convention date, Nov. 25, 1944. [Class 17(ii)] The margins 6, 5 respectively of an upper/ 2 and insole 1 are secured together at least round the forepart of the shoe and a strip 3 is secured by the same seam which secures the parts 5, 6, or by a different one. The outer portion of the strip 3 is folded inwardly about its line of attachment, and after forcing a last between the upper and innersole, the margins of the parts 1, 2 and the strip 3, are turned inwardly beneath the last and secured in position. A filler 11 is then applied and an outersole 10 cemented to the outer flash face of the strip 3. The construction permits the sole edge to be trimmed close to the upper. In a modification, the strip 3 may be secured at its inneredge with its grain face against the margins 5, 6, and doubled on itself to present the grain face on its edge. Its underface is roughened by removing the grain before cementing the outer sole. Where the upper has a lining, both lining and upper may be secured in the manner described, or the lining only may be secured to the insole the margin 6 of the upper being pulled down in place and stitched to the lining after the shoe has been lasted. Such stitching may secure also a strip 3 or, alternatively, such stitching and strip may be omitted, the edge of the upper being turned in over the last and secured, and the outer sole finally cemented after applying a filler.

Title: Improvements in cameras for colour photography
IPC: G02B27/14
Filed: 1933-11-11
Abstract: 427,983. Colour photography. HILGER, Ltd., A., and DOWELL, J. H., 98, King's Road, Camden Road, London. Nov. 11, 1933, No. 31486. [Class 97 (i)] In a light-dividing prism system receiving light at a single aperture and dividing it into two or more beams, each of which is received by a photographic lens for forming a colour record image, the lengths of path traversed by the rays forming the several images are so selected that for rays incident at a chosen angle the total lateral shift relative to the lenses is the same for all the images, irrespective of the reduced optical path length on the axis. Fig. 1 shows diagrammatically the system for a two colour arrangement, the two prisms being shown as parallel-sided plates with a common entrance face D and exit faces ER, EG. For rays incident at an angle i the angles of refraction for the colours R, G, are respectively rR and rG so that if the path lengths in the two prisms are LR and LG the condition to be satisfied for the desired equality of lateral shift is LR tan rR = LG tan rG. The two lenses are placed at equal distances from the exit faces ER, EG. Fig. 2 shows a modification in which one of the light paths is not wholly in glass but includes an air path LA beyond the prism exit-surface FG, the condition to be satisfied in this case being LR tan rR=LG tan rG + LA tan i. In this form the lenses are equidistant from the planes ER, EG. Fig. 3 shows a system in accordance with Fig. 2, comprising a light-dividing semi-reflecting surface H and reflecting surfaces J, P. The rays are focused by lenses K, Q on the film M, a mirror S being disposed behind the lens Q to render the two beams parallel and to make the two images similar as regards right and left. The prism system may all be made of one kind of glass, or the prism common to both colours may be of one kind of glass and the prisms individual to the two colours of another kind of glass. As above described, the lenses K, Q have the same focal length. If, however, the focal lengths of the lenses differ slightly, the path lengths are adjusted so as to compensate for this difference. A system for producing three images is also described. Specification 349,107 is referred to.

Apparatus for recording the working time and operational conditions of each machine of a group comprises a machine switch S and an operational condition indicating device 8 for each machine which is scanned by a continuously moving scanner 23 to transmit a record via a single stylus 21 on to a time-proportionally driven recording medium 5, the stylus being moved back and forth to form bar diagrams, the patterns of which are altered when the machine is stopped. Each reason of stoppage has a particular symbol which is transmitted from the indicating device switches by means of an electric circuit with time members to the scanning device to produce the relevant symbol on the recording medium. The stylus 21 is only moved into contact with the recording medium 20 when the electromagnet M is actuated. A wiper 23 scans the switch 22 and is rotated by a shaft 10 which also rotates guide cam 12 for guiding the motion of carriage 13 on which the stylus is mounted. Also mounted on shaft 10 is a toothed wheel 24 which drives cam disc 27 and disc 29 to actuate switches U, V. With each upward or downward movement of the carriage the scanner scans all the indicating switches of all the machines. If for example a machine is operating the magnet is actuated through the electric circuit and a continuous mark is made on the disc 20. If a machine is stopped for some reason, this reason is switched on the indicating device 4 and the magnet will only be actuated for a period of time depending on the fault detected.

Abstract: 1321309 Electric selectors R A ZANDER P H E CLAESSON and S D VIGREN 6 July 1970 [9 July 1969] 32555/70 Heading H1L In a co-ordinate relay selector, each crosspoint contact set is controlled by an armature which forms part of two magnetic circuits. In Fig. 1, the armature 7 is normally spring biased against limb 6 of magnetic circuit 14. If coil 9 common to both circuits and coil 11 individual to one only of the circuits are simultaneously energized the armature 7 is caused to move against limb 2 of circuit 15 thereby closing a contact set. The latter is opened when armature 7 restores under spring bias due to the interruption of current through both coils. The armature need not actuate a contact set but could be used to lock or unlock a mechanical device as in a coin-vending machine or a telephone coin box. In Fig. 4 which is a section through a 3 Î 3 matrix of such relays, all the (nine) relays are accommodated in a plate 110 (iron of low coercive force and high permeability) which forms the magnetic circuit 15 and a plate 211 which forms the magnetic circuit 14. Plate 211 is formed with a plurality of dependent tongues 210, 220, 230 that act as magnetic limbs 6 for the armatures 111, 112, 113 and they each carry a winding 212, 222, 232. The plate 110 is provided with three apertures that extend across the matrix (i.e. into the plane of the paper) for accommodating coils 111a, 112a, 113a which surround all the armatures in a same row and correspond to the coils 9. The side edges of plates 211 and 110 are bent into engagement with each other to provide the common magnetic circuit portions 3, 4 of Fig. 1. Two embodiments of armature are clearly depicted but both are held in a rest position by leaf springs 111c, 112c, 113c, that co-operate at one end with the coil cheeks 111e, 112e, 113e and the edge of the lands 110ab, 110bc, 110bc separating the apertures in plate 110. Each armature also carries a pin 111e, 112e, 113e for actuating a contact set. The latter comprises a movable bifurcated contact 107 which is stamped from a common strip provided with kinks 107a for ensuring that only one contact is moved when an armature operates and, a fixed contact 108 which is mounted at one end on an insulating block 109. The blocks 109 are provided with grooves in which multiplying wires are located. The fixed and movable contacts may be stamped from sheet metal and fixed in position as a composite structure to ensure correct alignment, the remaining connecting tongues being severed thereafter. Alternative contact assemblies incorporating movable contacts that coact directly with a printed circuit pattern or co-operating spring strip finger contacts that are mounted on the plain face of a circuit board are discussed in relation to Figs. 7-16 not shown. In the circuit boards all external connections are made along one edge thereof.
