Title: Improvements in Rotary Heels for Boots and Shoes.
Inventor: ELLIS FREDERICK ARTHUR
Filed: 1905-02-08
Granted: 1905-08-03
Abstract: 2572. Ellis, F. A. Feb. 8. Heel protectors.-Revoluble heel pads for boots and shoes are fixed to the heels by the aid of two metal plates, which together form a circular groove in which is engaged a flange on the rubber or other pad, thereby dispensing with the usual central screw. A metal plate, Fig. 7, of the shape of the heel and formed with turned-up edges A', which are turned over again from A<5> to A<6> to form a semicircular groove of the same diameter as a flange C' of the pad D, Fig. 6, is first connected by screws &c. to the heel. The pad is placed in position in the groove of the plate, and the whole is secured by fixing a plate B, Fig. 9, over the plate. The plate B is also formed with a semicircular groove which engages the flange C'. The plate B is fixed by means of screws, and when made of metal it may be provided with a wearing surface of leather, rubber, &c., level with tho surface of the pad D. The pad D is moulded around a dished metal plate C, the outer edge of which forms the flange C', and which is formed with holes for the melted rubber to be poured through while the pad is being moulded. When a leather pad is used, the plate C is flat and is attached to the leather by nails, rivets, &c. The grooved plates may be replaced by a plate with a circular opening the size of the circular pad, the opening being recessed at the bottom to engage the flange C<1>.

Abstract: 7900. Boult, A. J., [Cardon, A.]. April 13. Cameras.-The front of a camera for producing photographs of a number of different subjects on the same plate consists of a roller blind moving up and down and carrying a second roller blind or a cross-plate on which the lens is mounted. The camera is divided into tubes longitudinally by partitions which divide the plate into a number of smaller spaces, on each of which a photograph may be taken. The lens e and the shutter are mounted on a roller blind d which moves from side to side. This blind d may be replaced by a cross-plate. The blind d is attached to and slides in the blind b, which moves up and down. The lens can be brought in front of any of the tubes into which the camera is divided. Scales on the guides for the blinds are arranged to indicate the positions of the lens necessary to register with divisions of the plate according to the arrangement of the partitions. The front may form a part of a box-like camera with a dark slide, or may be hinged to a box containing the plate and partitions. A small plate divided in a'similar manner to the sensitive plate may be added for recording the nature of the photograph taken on each division of the plate or film.

The timing-shaft passes through bearings 3, 4, 5 carried by the body 2, and is provided with ratchet-shaped grooves 9 which engage the end 11 of the lifting-lever 12, the other end of which bears against a stop 14. When the shaft turns, the lever 12 is pulled forward, raised to engage with the bent end of the lever 29, and is then returned to the stop by a spring 15. The lever 29 carries a block 18 pivoted at 19 to which a yielding contact-arm 22 is fixed, and is bent round the block to form the member 21. A spring 31, bearing against a screw 32, prevents contacts 23-24 from being in contact when in the normal position. When the lever 29 is raised, a contact 23 is held against an adjustable contact 24 until the arm 21 engages again with the arm 22 on its return.; The fixed contact is carried by a plate 37, which, is insulated from the main part 2 and carries a stop 26 for preventing the vibration of the arm 22 ; it also carries, a screw 27 for locking the contact 24 when adjusted by the screw 25. Fig. 5 shows a modification of the contact parts. The lever 28 is bent round the block 18, and engages with the spring arm 41. The contacts are connected to the primary of the sparking coil by means of springs 45, 46.
