Title: Improvements in the Method of, and Means for, Fastening Laces.
Inventor: HEWER FRANK
Filed: 1905-02-03
Granted: 1906-01-25
Abstract: 2148. Hewer, F. Feb. 3. Cleats or holders.-Boot, shoe, &c. laces are fastened by winding on a device which wedges them-and screens them from view, an auxiliary fastened being employed further to screen them. The laces c, Fig. 3, are wound on the shank of the bobbin d, the foot of which is placed between the halves of the upper a and the boot tongue. The india-rubber ring e, Fig. 3, or spring ring e, Fig. 8, attached to one of the laces c and passed over the bobbin, serves as an auxiliary fastener. A ring formed of a wire helix may also be employed. In a modification, the base rests on the upper and is perforated for the laces. In the form shown in Fig. 11, the bobbin is riveted to the tongue a<2>, the auxiliary fastener consisting of a cap e, which is screwed down over the lace. Or the cap e may be hinged, as shown at d<5>, Fig. 12, an arm e<1> bearing on a spring d' to retain it in the open or closed position. The bobbin may be replaced by a similarly-shaped cleat, over which a cap e is sprung. Fig. 16 shows the use of a cap e with a hook-shaped fastener. In the form shown in Fig. 18, the bobbin d is rotated on the spindle f<1> by means of an open hinged cap e. The lace tag is clipped at c<#> so that the lace is wound up, and, the cap e being closed down, the socket e<2> fits over the squared end of the spindle f and backward rotation of the bobbin is prevented. In a further modification, Fig. 20, the lace ends are received in an open slot d#in a roller d, rotated by means of the cap e, which, when closed, prevents backward rotation.

Patent GB-190506257-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in Automatic Safety Electric Switches for Compound Wound Daynamos
Inventor: PARLETT GODFREY BERNARD
Filed: 1905-03-24
Granted: 1906-03-01
Abstract: 6257. Parlett, G. B., and Coxon, G. H. March 24. Switches.-A magnetized lever is supported with one end between the poles of an electro-magnet, and the other end carries a switch bar which can shortcircuit the series coils of a compound-wound dynamo. The electro-magnet has a coil A, wound over insulation C on the core D, and pole-pieces E, the whole being supported by angle-irons G. The rocking lever H is magnetized by the two coils I connected across the dynamo terminals, so that its polarity is constant. The bar L of laminated copper is attached to the lever H by insulation N, swivel joint M, and bolts O, which pass through oval holes to allow the position of the lever to be adjusted. When the current flows in its normal direction from R to S, Fig. 1II, the pole-pieces are magnetized so that the end of the lever H is attracted towards the piece F<1>, lifting the bar L from the studs P. When the current in the main circuit is reversed, the lever H is attracted in the opposite direction, towards the piece F, thus pressing the bar L on to the contacts P. This short-circuits the series coil U, and the machine then runs as a shunt-wound dynamo energized by the coil V, the polarity of the machine remaining constant.

Abstract: 11,038. D÷rwald, G. L. M. May 26. Brakes.-A spring-applied brake for motor and other vehicles comprises two pivoted members applied to the two sides of a brake sheave in succession, thus reducing shock. The members b, c, pivoted at d, are adapted to act upon a sheave a secured to the wheel. A bolt g is pivoted to the member b and passes through the end of the member c, a spring i being interposed between the member c and a nut h on the bolt g to keep the members b, c normally in contact with the sheave. A foot-shaped lever j k l is pivoted on a pin o, which is free to move in a slot in the bolt g, and the end l of its long arm is connected to the hand-lever. If, when the brake is on, the end l of the lever be moved towards the right, a roller n on the lever will first engage the member b and move it away from the sheave until it comes in contact with a pin q projecting from a swivel e ; a roller m on the end of the lever will then move the member c away from the sheave. On moving the lever in the opposite direction, the member c will be brought first into contact with the sheave. The brake can also be operated by connecting a rod, pivoted to the end l of the lever, with a toothed segment, which can turn on the pin q and is moved by a pinion operated by a flexible shaft. The brake may be arranged as an inside one, the lever j k l being operated from the centre of the sheave. According to the Provisional Specification, the pin o is arranged between the rollers m, n and slides in a lug which is rigid with the member b.

Granted: 1907-06-20
Abstract: 3499. Wadsworth, F. L. O. Feb. 12. Forming articles with wire skeletons; rolling; pressing.-The molten metal is poured upon a table 2, and a grooved roller 11, carried by a carriage 8, which is driven by a pinion 13 engaging a fixed rack 14, is moved to the right. The grooved roller 11 presses wire netting 16, which descends an incline 15, into the molten metal. When the roller 11 has passed completely over the table 2, the latter is raised by the action of short levers 22 acting on the ends of the supporting-columns 24. Levers 6 are fixed on the same shafts as the levers 22 and are operated by the piston in the compressed-air cylinder 5, their upper ends being connected by rods 20 on either side of the cylinder 5. The glass sheet is thus pressed against a spring platen 9 supported by the carriage 8, and the grooves caused by the roller 11 are closed. The height of the table 2 during rolling, and hence the thickness of the glass, is adjusted by an eccentric 7 which limits the movement of a lever 6. The platen 9 may be plain or corrugated. In another form of apparatus, two sheets of glass are produced simultaneously by rollers 30, 34, 35, Fig. 7, and a travelling table 29, and wire netting from a reel 31 is placed between them by a roller 33. The sheet is then pressed by a platen 37, brought down by vacuum pistons 38.
