Abstract: 1368. Leyner, J. G. March 25, 1911. Percussive drills.-In a water-conveying device for rock drills of the kind in which water under pressure enters an aperture in the rear cylinder head and passes through a tube through the drill and into the drill bit for ejecting cuttings, a compressible rubber plug assists in clamping the tube and acts as a packing. Into a recess in the rear of the cylinder cover 1, a plug 11 is screwed, compressing an axially-perforated rubber plug 13 against a washer 12 having circular knife-edges which become embedded into the cylinder cover to prevent leakage. The recess is closed by a cap nut 16 screwed on the plug 11 against packing. The rubber plug grips a tube 10A passing through the rifle bar 58 and piston 51 into a passage in the drill 72. Water from an inlet 8 passes through a circumferential groove and cut-away parts 19 of the plug 11 to the rear of the plug, and thence through passages in the plug of successively increasing sizes through the tube 10A and into the drill. Air from the front cylinder end mingles with the water, which passes into the bore-hole in the form of a spray. Motive fluid is admitted through an inlet valve 44 to the valve-chest 38, whence it passes to reciprocate the piston. The piston is rotated during one stroke by a nut 52 engaging a rifle bar 58 having spring-pressed pawls in its head 56 which engage a ratchet ring 63 frictionally held between the rear cylinder cover 1 and a ring 49 by side bolts which resiliently secure the parts of the cylinder together.

Abstract: 4058. Bates, A., and British United Shoe Machinery Co. Feb. 17. Boot-sole sewing and lasting machines.-The uppers of veldtschoen &c. are lasted and simultaneously permanently stitched to the soles. The upper and the sole, assembled on the last, are brought up to a work-support F, which presses the upper into the angle between the sole a and the last c. A welt strip d is fed into position over the out-turned edge of the upper through a guide-passage in the work-support. The upper is gripped and pulled by grippers G, G', and while the upper is held under tension, an awl C moves to penetrate the welt, the upper, and the margin of the sole. The work, grippers, and awl are then moved by the travel of a feed-slide H into a position for the work to be operated upon by the stitching-mechanism. A presser L clamps the work to the work-support until the feed slide is operated; but the clamping pressure may be released in part or altogether during the pulling operation. After the work has been fed by the slide, the presser L descends again, and holds the work until the stitch is made, the grippers, awl, and feed slide returning to their original positions. The upper may be released from the grippers before the completion of the feed movement. The lower jaw G<1> of the grippers is formed on a bar G<2> supported at one end by a vertical link G<3> pivoted at its lower end to the feed-slide H. The bar G<2> and the link G<3> are connected by pivoted ears G<30> provided with a stem rotatable in a bore in the link. The other end of the bar G<2> is supported by a lever J pivoted to the frame of the machine and connected to the bar G<2> by a universal joint. The upper end of the lever J is connected through an adjustable and yielding connexion with a camactuated member K<1>. The upper jaw G of the grippers forms one arm of a bell-crank lever pivoted at G<6> to the bar G<2> and connected through a link G<7> and a lever G<8>, also pivoted on the bar G<2>, to a rod G<12>. The connexion between the lever G<8> and the rod G<12> is such that the rod is angularly movable about the axis of the lever. The rod G<12> passes through a trunnion block pivoted upon a lug K<2> mounted to be capable of rotation about the camactuated member K<1>. The member K<1> is first actuated by the cam K to close the jaws of the grippers and then to draw the grippers from the work-support. The vertical position of the grippers is adjustable by an eccentric mounting of the link G<3>. The grippers, since their support is pivoted on the feed-slide, are given a greater movement during the work - feeding operation than the awl or the feeding slide. In this way, each section of upper treated is " crowded " against the preceding sections, thus taking up the fullness of the upper. Specification 20,061/06, [Class 17, Boots &c.], is referred to.
