Title: Improvements in and relating to Variable Speed Belt Gearing.
Inventor: BARKER JOHN EDWARD
IPC: F16H9/16
Filed: 1909-07-17
Granted: 1910-06-09
Abstract: 16,680. Barker, J. E. July 17. Variable-speed belt gearing.- Relates to variable-speed gearing of the type comprising two pairs of bevel-disks forming a pair of expanding pulleys and means for operating these pulleys at relatively-varying rates to prevent undue tightness or slackness of the belt. The operating-means consists of'screwed sleeves encircling the pulley spindles and actuated differentially. Shafts A', B' are geared together by a belt passing between the pulleys shown in Fig. 2. These are operated by having their component disks A, B thrust together by pairs of sleeves S acting through ball bearings F<1>. The sleeves S screw upon other sleeves C, which encircle the shafts A', B' and are secured to a frame X. The two pairs of sleeves S are geared by chains R, R<1> or the like to two pairs of drums S<1> secured to two shafts D, placed one over the other and connected by toothed gears P. The shafts D are actuated by hand to vary the velocity-ratio from a wheel E. The relative variation in the rate of operation of the pairs of disks A, B is brought about by forming the sleeves S and drums S<1> with conical chain-gear surfaces, as shown in Fig. 2, or by replacing the spur gears P of Fig. 2 by gears P<1> of varying radius as shown in Fig. 3.

Abstract: 23,929. Firth, H. W., and Leake, F. W. April 19, 1910. Hand-levers; hand-levers and signals, points, and instruments, interlocking.-Hand-lever apparatus in which a locking-detent 14 is removed when the circuit of an electro-magnet 13 is closed at the contacts 4, 5 of a self-holding relay 2, 3, and the contacts 8, 9 operated by the catch rod 11, is provided with a switch 26 which transfers the control of the lock from one of the line wires 28, 29 to the other after each operation of the laver. A momentary current in the line 28 energizes the relay, and thereafter current from a battery 1 passing contacts 4, 5, and 21, 22 maintains the relay energized and the contacts 4, 5, closed. When the hand-lever is moved over, after removing the lock by closing the contacts 8, 9, a plate 18 is removed from contacts 19, 20, 21 and bridges contacts 22, 23, 24. This transfer breaks the holding- circuit of the relay, so replacing the lock on the hand-lever, and connects the relay with the line wire 29. A similar arrangement is shown in which the holding-current is independent of the contacts 4, 5, but it is only strong enough to hold the armature when it has been moved into the position where the contacts are closed.

Title: Machine for Imitation Stitch Marking in the Manufacture of Boots and Shoes.
IPC: A43D15/00
Filed: 1910-07-06
Granted: 1911-03-16
Abstract: 16,154. Soc. A. Johnson et ses Fils. Aug. 21, 1909, [Convention date]. Ornamenting. - In a stitch-wheeling machine, forward and rearward movements are alternately given to the indenting - wheel b, the extent of the rearward movement being adjustable and consisting only of a fraction of the forward movement. The wheel b, Fig. 1, is removably secured to the end of a shaft c, which can be driven directly through friction disks f, e<2>, and indirectly through from a shaft h<2> running eccentrically through a shaft f<1>, on which the disk f is loosely mounted, and an oscillating link connexion between the disks f, e<2>. This connexion comprises a two-part member g, Fig. 3, mounted at one end on a pin f2 fixed on the disk f, while at its other end it encloses a block e<3> loosely mounted on a pin e<4> fixed on the disk e<2>. The member g receives an oscillating movement from a block h mounted on an eccentric end portion h' of the shaft h<2>. The shafts f<1>, h move together, and are driven by a train of wheels from the main shaft i, which is also geared directly to the disk f. The result of this arrangement is that the friction drive of the shaft e through the disks e<2>, f is added to the movement of the shaft e caused by the eccentric and link connexions described in the one direction, and subtracted from it in the opposite direction, so that the wheel b rotates forward through a certain number of teeth, and then moves backwards through a less number. The shafts f<1>, h2 are connected by a ring h<3>, Fig. 1, slidable on the shaft h<2>, and formed on its inner face with one or more tenons adapted to engage with one or other of a number of slots f<4> in the end of the shaft f<1>. By varying this connexion between the shafts f<1>, h2, the backward movement of the wheel b can be varied, or entirely suppressed. The work is supported on a holder c, Fig. 1, revoluble about a pin c' projecting from a sector-shaped support c<2>, which can be adjusted about a pivot c<3> in the upper portion d of a post d'. This post is mounted to slide in a tubular extension a<3> of the machine frame, and is normally pressed upwards by a spring d<3>; the depression of the post is effected by a treadle connexion with a screw rod d<4>, The shaft i is driven by a belt passing over a pulley j, which forms one member of a friction clutch, the other member being rigidly connected to a hand-wheel n, so that when the clutch is out of gear, the shaft may be rotated by hand ; the wheel n also serves as a means for braking the shaft after uncoupling the clutch.
