Filed: 1910-02-02
Granted: 1910-12-31
Abstract: 2656. Boult, A. J., [Palmowsky, S.]. Feb. 2. Cigarette - tipping machines.- Cigarettes to be fed to the tipping - mechanism are contained in a hopper 105, whence they are carried by an endless band 106, driven through the " time - sprocket " 115, to a pair of toothed wheels 120 from which they are carried and presented to the tipping-mechanism by conveying-rails 130 in conjunction with a table 131.

Title: Improvements in or relating to Pulling Over Machines.
Inventor: EUCLID I LA CHAPELLE
IPC: A43D13/00
Filed: 1910-07-19
Abstract: 17,155. La Chapelle, E. I. July 22, 1909, [Convention date]. Void. [Published under Section 91 of the Act.] Lasting.-A pulling-over machine is provided with means to engage the upper on, or back of, the tip seam of the vamp, instead of at the extreme end of the toe. These means consist of a pincer comprising a jaw 127, Fig. 1, hinged at 129 to the forward end of an actuating-lever 130, and a jaw 128, which consists of two members 138, 139 pivoted together at 140. The hinge joints of both pincer members are spring - pressed, and are arranged so that the jaws are continually pressed against the last. The side pincers are similar in construction to those described in Specification 7005/00, and are guided to move upwards and forwards in a diagonal line towards the toe of the shoe. The back-rest for the shoe comprises two spring-pressed wing members 24, which are pressed forwards by a spring 85 to engage the shoe and to press its toe portion into contact with a projecting stop 26 carried by the sole-positioning device 28. . After the shoe has been positioned longitudinally, the operator swings the shoe to the right or left according to the swing of the last, and in either position the back rest is locked by the engagement of pawls with a rack 90. The members 24 are sufficiently wide to embrace the counter and shank proper, and to reach up to and over the vamp seam. In operation, after the shoe has been positioned in the back rest and the side edges of the upper have been placed within the side grippers, the toe gripper engages the upper at about the toe tip seam, and stretches the upper longitudinally of the last. Just at the completion of this movement, the side grippers close, the jaw 127 of the 'toe gripper meanwhile gradually moving out from beneath the vamp; when it is quite clear, the side grippers commence their diagonal forward and upward movement, and then move inwards to bend the leather over the edges of the last, to which it is secured by tacking-mechanism similar to those described in the Specification above referred to. The jaw 128 of the toe gripper meanwhile remains in engagement with the upper at the toe tip seam to prevent the vamp from shifting; this jaw is faced with rubber to prevent it from injuring the work. In the preferred machine; there is no tacking-mechanism at the toe, which is left free, as shown in Fig. 2; but after the upper has been set on the last as described, a pull may be given to the extreme toe part of the upper, and a toe tack driven. If desired, the under jaw 127 of the toe gripper may be omitted, and the outer jaw 128 used alone to exert a mild wiping action down the centre of the vamp and then to hold the vamp down to the last, particularly at the hollow back of the top of the toe. In other cases, both jaws 127, 128 may be positioned to engage the vamp outside the last with a slight rubbing action, the jaw 128 continuing to hold the vamp after the jaw 127 has moved clear of the toe of the last, as already described. -

Title: Improvements in Submarine Mines.
IPC: F42C14/04
Filed: 1911-06-09
Granted: 1912-01-11
Abstract: 13,828. Vickers, Ltd. Jan. 12, [Convention date]. Mines, marine.-Consists in actuating the firing - device by the rotation of an arm, on impact with a passing ship, the arming having been previously effected by the pull on the cable of the anchor of the mine. The detonator casing 5, a piston 9, and the priming-cap 18 are all connected together by tubes 10, 15 containing fuse composition; a rod 19 is rotatably mounted on the piston, and a rod 24 on the primer-holder 16. A lateral arm 22 is mounted slidably on a square portion of the rod 19, and has an extension 26 locked by the rod 24. When the mine is launched, the tension in the anchor cable, which is attached at 6 to the detonator casing 5, drags down the detonator and the parts connected thereto. The priming-cap 18 is lowered into operative position relatively to the firing-pin 39, the end 26 of the arm 22 is released by the rod 24 and the firing-pin 39 is retracted by a projection 34 on the rod 19. On impact with a ship, the arm 22 is rotated, the projection 34 releases the firing-pin, and the mine is fired. To delay the arming, the space beneath the piston 9 is filled with liquid through a non-return valve 14", and the liquid is allowed to escape but slowly through a small hole 14<1>. The arm 22 preferably contains a part 30, which is extended outwards by a spring 19 after a soluble plug of sal-ammoniac 32 has dissolved away, so that the arm may be of a conveniently small length before launching.

Abstract: 20,150. Durbrow, G. W. Sept. 11. Filtering-media; tap filters. - Micro - organisms and solids are removed from water by filtering through fibrous material, a portion of which has been treated with a sticky substance, such as beeswax or a mixture of paraffin and gum copal or balsam; which will not melt in liquid at a temperature of 38‹ C. Cotton, wool, flax, and asbestos are stated to be suitable fibrous materials. Fig. 2 shows a suitable form of filter. The casing is provided at the bottom with a three-way valve, and at the top with a detachable cap c with outlet a. The medium is placed within a holder screwing into the cap c, and comprises two cylinders, a lower one, the upper part of which is impregnated with the sticky substance, and an upper one surrounded by a cap F. The cylinders are formed by compressing the fibrous material in a tube fitted with a piston, the piston-rod being hollow to admit steam for sterilizing purposes. One end of the cylinder to be treated is dipped into the sticky material, and the cylinder is heated to 200‹ F. with this end uppermost, or the cylinder may be heated with a disk of the sticky substance on the top. The result is to impregnate the cylinder for about half its depth.

A dirigible balloon is provided with a collapsible aerostat constructed of longitudinal tubes 1, Fig. 2, connected together at the ends 5 so that, by causing the ends to approach each other, the tubes are spread apart to form the gas receptacle. Stays 4 may be connected to the tubes 1 and to a central bar 2, which, in this case, may be discontinued between the stays at each end. The tubes are also stayed to the bar 2 bv a system of branched cords. The fabric between certain or all of the tubes may be wider than the distance between the tubes to allow the gas to expand, and elastic cables are stretched from end to end of the balloon between the ribs and bear against such pieces of fabric to keep them taut, as shown by the dotted lines in Fig. 3; this enables the motors to be fed with gas from the aerostat. The balloon is compartmented by diaphragms of fabric of greater diameter than the balloon, so that the gas in neighbouring compartments can force out the fabric when a compartment loses its gas. An air jacket 7 is arranged above the balloon to take up and discharge an air current induced by the movement of the balloon and protect it from the sun. A cable is trailed so that, when it contacts with an obstacle, a signal is sounded or a relay is started to operate the vertical steering-planes. Cars.-The car a is oval in cross-section and is divided into compartments by partitions e, Fig. 7. Tables b and benches c are fitted, and a longitudinal passage is centrally arranged. Hinged flaps at the passage ends of tables and benches may be raised so that the latter may be used as beds. Ballast is arranged below the floor of the cabin. A promenade deck may be arranged on the roof, and a passenger lift is provided. Steering.-A line is suspended from the balloon and, when it contacts with an object, the vertical steering - members are automatically operated to raise the balloon.
