Title: Improvements in or relating to Inseam-trimming Machines adapted for use in the Manufacture of Boots and Shoes.
Filed: 1906-11-03
Granted: 1907-11-02
Abstract: 24,674. Bates, A., and British United Shoe Machinery Co. Nov. 3. Paring; uppers; insoles; welts.-Relates to an inseam-trimming machine in which a feeding- device grips the marginal material standing up from the inseam. Also, the trimming-knife is used in co-operation with a shear blade, which is adapted to enter the channel so as to guide the work. Further, the knife may be arranged to move in a closed curvilinear or other path to effect the shearing action, and also to feed the work; with this construction a shear blade may or may not be used. In the machine shown in Figs. 1 and 2, the trimming-knife C is adjustably secured in a holder C<1>, which is mounted to reciprocate in a carrier E pivoted at E<2> to the machine head B. The shear blade D, which is shaped as shown in Fig. 2 to form an abutment for the tread face of the shoe, is adjustably secured to a member D', which is also mounted to slide in the carrier E. A spring D<2> tends to move the carrier rearwards to cause the work to be gripped between the blade D and a rest G, which is supported on the head B. The forward movement of the member is limited by an adjustable collar D<6>. In operation, the work is presented to the machine so that the projecting margin of the inseam is gripped between the blade D and the rest G, and the machine is started. As the knife begins to shear, the work is forced forwards away from the rest G, until it is gripped between the knife and the blade D, when the swinging movement of the carrier E takes place and the work is fed forwards. The knife then commences to retreat, and the blade D is returned by the spring D<2>, so that the work is again gripped between the blade and the rest G, after which the carrier E swings in the reverse direction, and the knife and blade move into the same relative positions as they were in at the commencement of the operation. An abutment B<3> is provided to prevent undue stress from coming upon the member D<1>. The knife C may be stationary, or may be mounted to reciprocate in a fixed carrier. The cutting-edge, or a portion of the blade near its edge, may be curved out of the general plane of the knife. The abutments between which the material is trimmed may have pedal control, and may be provided with locking-devices.

Granted: 1908-05-07
Abstract: 14,077. Bell, W. T., and Graham, A. J. W. June 18. Overwinding, preventing; hauling and, winding engines; brakes.-In mechanism for preventing overwinding and excessive speed of winding-engines, of the kind in which a nut travelling on a screw is adapted to strike tappets which operate the brakes and close the steam valve, the brake is applied directly through weighted mechanism either by the governor or the tappets releasing a stepped catch. Fig. 1 shows the mechanism in elevation. A governor 1 is mounted on the valve-gear rotating shaft 2, and is connected by the links 18, 19 to a spring-controlled stepped lever 11. This lever is mounted on a bracket 14, and is linked to a pair of rocking arms 9, 10 mounted in the path of a pair of nuts 4, 5 moving along a screwed portion 3 of the rotating shaft 2. In the event of excessive speed, or of overwinding, the stepped lever 11 is retracted ; this allows the weighted lever 15 to fall, causing the application of brakes by link-work 23, 24, 25, and cutting-off steam from the engine by means of a lever 27 and rod 28.
Patent GB-190721601-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in the Manufacture of Soot and Apparatus therefor.
Inventor: WEGELIN GOTTFRIED
Filed: 1907-09-30
Granted: 1908-05-28
Abstract: 21,601. Wegelin, G. Sept. 30. No Patent granted (Sealing fee not paid). Carbon.-Soot is made by exploding a mixture of gaseous hydrocarbons with a deficient quantity of air in a machine in which the mixture is automatically sucked in, compressed, and ignited ; the soot produced is automatically discharged. The explosions can be used for driving the machine. In one modification, Fig. 1, the piston i of the compression cylinder a and a reciprocating rod l are actuated by crank motions from a driven pulley w. The gas-mixture is sucked in alternately through non-return valves c or by means of other suitable valve-gear, on opposide sides of the piston i. When the piston i passes from one end of the cylinder to the other, the mixture already sucked in is compressed until it passes through a back-pressure valve d into a box e, the valve d closing upon it at the end of the stroke. At the end of the stroke, an insulated ring n on the rod l closes a contact o, causing a spark in a spark-gap r to explode the compressed mixture in the box e ; a spring catch s on the rod l is then caused, by the back-stroke of the latter, to engage with a handle t and open momentarily an exit valve.f, normally kept closed by springs, and so permit the soot formed in the box e to be ejected, by the high pressure of the gases therein, into a storage box h. A second modification, Fig. 2, is similar in construction to an ordinary four-stroke-cycle explosion engine. At the first stroke, the piston e<1> sucks the hydrocarbon into the cylinder k<1> through an adjustable inlet valve b<1>, and an adjusted quantity of air through a pipe q<1>, and both through a box p<1> and suitably-actuated inlet valve a'. If the hydrocarbon is liquid it is vaporized by a sprayer either in the box p<1> or cylinder k<1>. During the second stroke of the piston e', the mixture is compressed and then ignited either by the heat produced, or by means of any known igniting-device, the explosion taking place during the third stroke. During the fourth stroke, the soot formed is driven out through an automatically-opened valve h<1>, a scraper d' attached to the piston e<1> assisting in removing the soot from the cylinder k<1>. An automatically-actuated outlet valve may be arranged to allow the escape of the gases through the fourth stroke, or the gases may escape through the same outlet i<1> as the soot.

Abstract: 18,851. Compagnie pour la Fabrication des Compteurs et MatÚriel d'Usines Ó Gaz. Sept. 11, 1907, [date applied for under Section 91 of Patents &c. Act, 1907]. Meters.-A wet gasmeter cylinder is formed with propellers bent so as to constitute partitions which are inclined in opposite directions t o the axis, thereby forming buckets which communicate with each other when the edges formed by the bent partitions are out of the water, and are cut off from each other when such edges are immersed. The gas is supplied to the space e at the right-hand end of the cylinder, and, considering the operation of the compartment limited by the edges c<4> and d<1>, passes into the first bucket when the feeding-edge f<1> emerges. The edges d<4> being at that time in the water, the buckets b<4> are fed from the preceding buckets b' through conduits k<4>, the openings l<4> of which enter the water when the edges d' emerge. All the buckets of this compartment then communicate with each other, and are fed normally until the feeding-edge f<1> enter the water. The movement continuing the compartment is opened to exhaust when the exhaust edge j<4> emerges. When, however, the edges c<4> enter the water, the buckets a<1> formed by the partitions constituting such edges are cut off from the exhaust edge j<4>, and the gas is then exhausted through openings in the wall of the cylinder. In a modification, each compartment comprises only one bucket a' and two half-buckets b<4>, the whole of the gas being exhausted through openings in the wall of the cylinder.
