Title: Improvements in or relating to Sewing Machines.
Inventor: BOULT ALFRED JULIUS
IPC: D05B15/00
Filed: 1909-12-08
Granted: 1911-01-09
Abstract: 28,739. Boult, A. J., [United Shoe Machinery Co.]. D c. 8. Boot-sole sewing-machines; welting and turn-shoe.-In a welting-machine, the retracting movement of the weltguide is suspended during the formation of the first stitch, at least, to ensure that the seam is started close to the end of the welt. The invention is shown applied to the machine described in Specification 20,712/09. A clutch box 16, through which the welt-guide slide 12 is actuated is linked to a cam lever 14 by a telescopic member 15. The member 15 is adjustably attached to the lever 14. Normally the two parts of the member are held from relative movement by a spring 20 and pin 21. The clutch box 16 is locked from backward movement during the first stitching cycle by a lever 22 pivoted on the machine frame. In the first rotation of the cam 23, the lever 22 is depressed when the lever 14 is inoperative and rises in time for a part 27 of it to move into line with a pin 28 and so obstruct the movement of the clutch box by the lever 14. In completing its movement, the lever 22 rises to its highest position, and a pin 33 carried by it engages with a catch 32 and removes it from engagement with a pivoted detent 29. A spring 31 then presses the detent against the edge of a shoulder 30 on the lever 22, and, when the lever reaches its lowest position in the course of the next revolution of the cam, the detent passes above the shoulder and maintains the lever 22 out of operation. Thereafter, the weltguide slide is periodically retracted in the usual manner. At the close of the stitching operation, the cam-shaft of the machine is rotated in the reverse direction and the lever-plate 51 is raised, the part 53 coming into contact with the surface 54. This movement operates the lever 35, and, by a rod 34 pivoted to the lever, the detent 29 is removed from engagement with the lever 22 and is thereafter held by the catch 32 until after the first revolution of the next operation. The movement of the lever 35 also operates a lever 60 by means of a rod 57 this lever, engaging with nuts 61 on a pin secured to the rear of, the welt-guide slide, and withdraws the latter from operative positions. In the modification shown in Fig. 8, at the close of a stitching operation, the welt-guide slide receives a retracting movement in addition to that imparted by the lever 60. A detent 65 normally locks the lever 64 in its lowest position and a catch 66 pivoted to the lever 35 rests upon it. When the lever 35 is rotated on the reversal of the machine, the catch 66 falls into engagement with, but does not move, the detent, and the lever 64 remains depressed. The welt-guide slide, therefore, as the machine is rotated backwards, receives the usual retracting movements in addition to that due to the movement of the lever 60. As soon as the machine is rotated in the forward direction, the plate 51 is returned, and the catch 66 draws the detent 65 out of engagement until the lever 64, touching the end of the catch, releases it again.

Title: Improvements in Bobbin-winding Device for Sewing Machines.
IPC: D05B59/00
Filed: 1910-01-21
Granted: 1910-06-09
Abstract: 1568. Singer Manufacturing Co., and McFarlane, H. Jan. 21. Sewing - machines; spools, winding. - The winder is mounted upon a belt-guard 11, and is driven by contact of a rubber-tyred wheel on the winding-spindle with a shoulder or runway on the balance-wheel between the belt groove and the rim. The winder is carried by a lever 16 pivoted upon a pin 14 on the belt-guard. In an annular recess in the hub 15 of the lever, a spring is fitted which tends to lift the lever 16 and so remove the friction wheel 20 away from the runway 10. A catch-plate 38 is pivoted upon a plate 31 also pivoted upon the pin 14 and adjustably secured by a screw 33. A spring in a recess in the hub of the catch-plate tends to rotate the latter downwards. In the position shown in Fig. 1, the lever 16 has been depressed to bring the winder into operative position. It is retained there by the engagement of the catch-plate with a lug 40 on the lever 16. Integral with the catch-plate is a plate 41, which bears upon the surface of the thread wound upon the bobbin, and rises, together with the catch-plate, as the winding proceeds. When the bobbin is full, the lug 40 escapes the first prong of the catch-plate, and the lever 16 moves upwards until the lug enters the notch 39, where it is retained. In this movement, the friction wheel is removed from contact with the driving- wheel. A cam on a worm-driven wheel 27 operates a thread-guiding finger 22.

Title: Improvements in or connected with Internal Combustion Liquid Pumps.
Inventor: BADCOCK EDWARD BAYNES
Filed: 1910-06-16
Granted: 1911-04-13
Abstract: 14,524. Badcock, E. B. June 16. Direct explosion apparatus.-In an internalcombustion pump operating on a cycle comprising an initial pressure portion and a completing inductive portion, an inflow of water is induced through the suction way F fitted with a non- return valve G and forced through the rising main B, and at the same time a charge of explosive mixture is drawn into the chamber A which is situated above the exhaust ports D. As the pressure in the pump falls, due to the inductive action of the water and the condensation of the products of combustion, until it approximates to atmospheric pressure, the lower valves in the exhaust ports D open and the valves D<1> close. In the reactionary stroke of the water, the products of combustion are swept out at the ports D until the rising water strikes against the lower valves and closes them, and on further movement compresses the charge in the chamber A. On reaching a predetermined pressure the contacts H, H<1> are closed, causing a spark at the plug K to explode the charge and continue the cycle.
