Filed: 1910-05-05
Granted: 1910-10-13
Abstract: 11,118. Macdonald, A. May 5. No Patent granted (Sealing fee not paid). Grates.-A fire-grate comprises a back-plate with side cheeks hinged to it, and a double bottom consisting of two similarly-slotted metal plates, one of which is movable. Fig. 3 shows a vertical section of a fire-grate consisting of a back A and two hinged cheeks A<1>, the lower edges of which slide over a bottom grating B supported on feet C. A second bottom grating C' is slotted at its sides so as to be movable backwards and forwards on its supporting-bolts C<2>, and has spikes D<2> which project into widened parts E' of the transverse slots D<1> in the grate B. The grating C' regulates the draught, and the spikes D<2> remove the ash. An asbestos cover E<2> may be bolted to the back A and cheeks A'. The rear parts of the grating C' may be constructed as shown in Fig. 5, so as to pass through the rear parts of the grating B, these parts being dished to enclose a ball G<2> which facilitates the movement of the bottom grate C'. The handle E may be cast with the plate C', or may operate it by a rack-andpinion movement. The cheeks A', which are hinged at their rear edges, are set by means of bolts placed in a transverse slot or series of holes in the sides of the grating B. Reference has been directed by the Comptroller to Specification 5535/10.

Title: Improved Heel Sock or Elevator for Boots and Shoes.
Inventor: DANIELS ISAAC SAVILL
IPC: A43B21/32
Filed: 1910-12-17
Granted: 1911-07-13
Abstract: 29,361. Daniels, I. S. Dec. 17. Socks.-A sock or elevator adapted to be inserted in the heel ends of boots and shoes consists of a series of ribs or ridges of indiarubber, &c., arranged in spiral form, or in a series of concentric rings and parts of rings, the ribs or ridges being moulded on a thin layer of the same material, which is secured by sticking or stitching to a foundation layer a of leather, felt, &c. The ribs or ridges are graduated in height, somewhat in dome-shape, from the margin c to the central part e of the heel-seat, and from these are tapered off gradually to the instep, where they merge, as shown, into the skived feathered edge of the foundation a. A recess is left in the centre of the heel, to accommodate the heel-bone; this recess may, however, contain a short rib f of about one-third the height of the adjacent rib. The outer rib c is made broader than the others, to act as a support for them. The foundation a projects beyond the india-rubber, as shown at b, and is made somewhat smaller than the normal size of the boot or shoe, so that it may be worn with two or three different sizes. The sock is secured to the innersole by gumming at the feather end, a tack being also driven in just above the skived edge.

Title: Improvements in Controllers for Electrically-driven Motor Vehicles.
Inventor: PIEPER HENRI
IPC: B60L15/20
Filed: 1911-01-24
Granted: 1911-11-23
Abstract: 1776. Pieper, H. Jan. 25, 1910, [Convention date]. Controllers, actuating and retarding mechanism and interlocking-devices for; systems for continuous-current motors only; electric braking.-The speed controller for the shunt motor of a road vehicle consists of two independent drums 2, 3 mounted on the same spindle. The motor is first started at its slowest speed with the field rheostat 31 in the no-resistance position, and the drum 2 is moved in the direction of the arrow 7. After the circuit of an electromagnetic clutch 30 has been completed at the contacts 35, and the resistance 36 has been eliminated therefrom, a projection 5 on the barrel 2 engages a projection 29 on the barrel 3 and moves the latter to cut resistance 34 into the field. The barrel 3 is reset by a spring and retarded by an oil vane. In order to brake regeneratively the motor, the barrel 2 is returned slowly enough to allow the projections 29, 5 to remain in contact. In these circumstances, the field is gradually increased to compensate for drop in speed, before the clutch circuit is broken. The motor may be braked mechanically by first suddenly returning the barrel 2 to break the clutch circuit, and then applying the brake. A mechanical interlock is provided to ensure that the brake can only be applied when the barrel 2 is in the " off " position. In a modification, an additional segment 37 is provided on the barrel 2 to close first the circuit of, and then increase the excitation of, a solenoid that applies a mechanical brake.

Rein-holders.-A plate 2 secured to a vehicle in any suitable position, such as the side of the box-seat, has one or more lugs 3 for the reception of hooks 5 carried by a removable U-shaped holder 4. The reins or the like are secured between a flat spring plate 6 and the roughened face of the holder 4 by means of a hand-lever 8, 9 pivoted at 7 in a lug 10, the pin 11 of which carries a spring 12 between the holder 4 and a screw - nut or riveted plate 13. A clamping- spring 14 may be attached to one or more of the hooks 5 in order to prevent them from jolting out of the lugs 3. The plate 2 may be fixed at each side of the vehicle so that the clamping- device can be placed at the more convenient side. The device may also be used upon the saddles of riding horses.

Granted: 1912-04-22
Abstract: 9752. Materikin, T., and Serguieff, B. April 21. Ratchet gearing.-Ratchet gear adapted to permit disconnexion or reversal is shown in Fig. 3. The driving-member 6 is connected to a loosely-mounted disk 18 carrying two or more double pawls 21, 21<a>, each adapted to engage alternatively with oppositely-directed ratchetwheels 16, 17 on the driven member. The pawls 21 are drawn by springs 23 into engagement with the ratchet-wheel 16, but may be disengaged by means of curved mask-like extremities 27<a> upon adjustable bell-crank levers 27, while further adjustment of the levers brings the opposite ends 21<a> of the pawls into engagement with the reverse ratchet-wheel 17. To allow disengagement of the pawls during the return stroke in the latter case, the lateral pins 29 bearing upon the masks 27<a> may be provided with elastic sleeves or rollers, or may be in the form of flat springs or yielding pieces terminating in rollers bearing upon the masks. The double pawls may be formed in one piece, or of two separate dogs mounted on one pivot and engaged with each other so that, when one is disengaged, it moves the other towards its operative position.

Abstract: 13,028. Cooley, H. B. May 30. Pile tables for sheet feeds; sheet separators; sheet forwarders; sheet guides.-In a machine for feeding sheets from a pile, particularly applicable for feeding envelopes to printing, counting, banding, and like machines, the pile is supported on an inclined table 21 on a frame 10 which provides bearings for a main shaft 11 driven by a pulley 12. Adjacent to the top edge of the pile is a hollow suction shaft 30 with a nozzle 38, mounted in blocks 26 sliding in bearings 27, and having a pinion 41 which meshes with a stationary rack 43 on the frame. The blocks 26 are connected by links 73 with levers 72, pivoted on a shaft 68 and oscillated by a fork 70 which embraces the shaft 11 and carries a roller 71 engaging a groove in a cam 15. The hollow shaft 30 is connected by a flexible pipe 40, a three-way cock 80, and a pipe 82 to an oscillating pump-cylinder 19, the piston 18 of which is operated from a crank-disk 16. The cock 80 can be turned to cut off the suction from the separator and open the pump to the air to relieve the load. Mounted loosely on the shaft 11 are arms 14, which are connected by links 28 to the blocks 26 and carry idle pinions 24, 25, driven from spur-wheels 13 on the shaft 11 and gearing with pinions 32 on feed rolls 35 located on the shaft 30 on each side of the suction nozzle 38. The rolls 35 are cut away around a part of their periphery to form an opening through which the sheet is fed. The rolls 35 co-operate with a roller 36 mounted in bearings 48 sliding in the blocks 26 and held in contact with these rollers by a spring 50. To ensure even running, the shaft 30 and the roller 36 are furnished with co-acting collars 46, 47. Secured to a plate 44 attached to the blocks 26 is a plate 51 having a curved end, which, when the blocks 26 are lowered, enters between the separated sheet and the rest of the pile and serves to guide the former between the rolls 35 and 36. As the plate descends, a stop 52 thereon engages the edge of the pile. The rollers 35, 36 feed the sheet on between guides 64, 65 to rollers 60, 61, which are driven by gearing from the wheels 13.
