Patent GB-190929503-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in or relating to Heel-trimming Machines.
Inventor: BOULT ALFRED JULIUS
IPC: A43D87/00
Filed: 1909-12-16
Granted: 1910-12-15
Abstract: 29,503. Boult, A. J., [United Shoe Machinery Co.]. Dec. 16. Trimming. - Heel-trimming machines are provided with supporting and guiding means which are actuated to cause different portions of the heel to be cut away to different extents. The machine is of the type having a rotary heel-trimmer 14, Fig. 3, and a rotary rand-trimmer 40, each with adjustable blades, a guard for the cutter 14, and an adjustable top-lift guide 16, Fig. 3, formed with a bevelled tread-rest 18. The machine is also fitted with a rand-guide 26 having a lip 27 to enter the rand crease. This guide is attached to a carrier 28, which is bolted to forked links 34, 36. The other ends of the link 36 are connected to an adjustably-mounted slide 70, which is formed witha slotted extension 84. In this slot is mounted an adjustable block 86, to which the other ends of the link 34 are connected. A spring 90 causes the carrier 28 to be pressed normally toward the cutter 14. The adjustment of the slide 70 determines the position which the edge of the randguide occupies with relation to the cutter 14 at the commencement of the trimming - action, which is started at one of the breast corners of the heel. The position of the heel relatively to the cutters is determined by an edge rest 138, and a counter-guide 94, Fig. 4. The rest 138 is adjustably secured to a plate 126, which is mounted to slide, under the control of a treadle, in an offset portion 124 of the machine frame. The plate 126 is formed with a cam-slot 128 to receive a roll 120 on a link 118, which, through a series of adjustable connexions, is coupled-up with the counter-guide 94. In operation, the heel is presented to the trimmer in the position shown in Fig. 4, and rests against the rest 138 and the top-lift guide 16; the rand-guide 26 is in engagement with the rand crease in its position nearest to the circular path of the cutter, and the counter-guide is in its rearmost position and in engagement with the shoe counter. As the heel is rotated against the cutter, the plate 126 is raised to lift the rest 138, and, at the same time, the cam-slot 128 acts upon the roll 120, and, through the connexions to the counter-guide, causes the guide to move away from the rand-guide 26, and to move the shoe farther from the path of the cutters. As the other side of the heel is brought into position to be operated upon, the counter-guide is returned to its former position by a spring.

Abstract: 1424. Hopkinson, A. H., Kilburn, R., and Hopkinson & Co., J. Jan. 19. Casings. - In order to prevent a thin stream of water under great pressure from damaging the casing of a valve when the valve is only slightly open, a removable baffle or protecting lining is placed within the casing to receive the full impact of the escaping water. As shown in Fig. 1, the lining consists of a loose sleeve f, held in position by the seat b. In a modification, Fig. 2, the sleeveis held in position by screwing, or by a flange g<2> fitting in a recess in the casing. As shown in Fig. 4, a baffle m is used, formed with a ring n<1> held in place by a screwed ring o. The baffle may also be held in position similarly to the sleeve in Fig. 1, or it may be integral with the valve seat.

Title: Improvements in Time-limit or Retarding Devices for use in connection with Electric Circuit Breakers.
IPC: H01H71/44
Filed: 1910-05-25
Granted: 1910-11-17
Abstract: 12,708. Electric and Ordnance Accessories Co., and Collins, N. May 25. Automatic circuit-breakers; retarding-devices. -In electro-magnetic circuit-breakers, the responsive movement is retarded, for part of the way only, by a rotary drum containing a heavy liquid or granular material enclosed between a number of perforated radial vanes. The drum 14, containing mercury 19, is geared to a pivoted sector 7 so as to be clutched thereto on the up-stroke of a rod 3 produced by the tripping-movement of the electro-magnet armature 2. If not lifted too quickly, the mercury flows back through small holes 18, and thus maintains a steady retardation till the sector 7 leaves the pinion 8, allowing the tripping-movement of the armature to be completed quickly. The time-element is adjustable by setting opposite any of the holes 24 a pivoted arm 22, carrying a stud 20 which supports the sector 7 in its initial position. When the sector falls back, the arm 9 is rocked about the spindle 10, the spring 12 is strained, and the pinion 8 is idle till re-engaged at the end of the fall. If the drum is rotated too quickly, as on the occurrence of a short-circuit, the mercury flows back over the inner ends of the vanes without having a retarding effect.

Abstract: 21,427. Bloxam, A. G., [Russische Akt.-Ges. L. M. Ericsson & Co.]. Sept. 28. Range-finders.-An instrument for measuring and recording the distances and azimuth angles of distant objects comprises two optical devices at a receiving station giving two beams of light which are kept parallel to the sighting-lines of telescopes at two widely separated sighting- stations, the intersection of these beams of light giving the range. Each telescope is continuously driven by means which can be adjusted so that the observer, if the object is moving uniformly, keeps it within his field of vision, and has only to make adjustments for variations in speed and the rotation of the telescopes is transferred by telemotor apparatus as described in Specification 2819/11, [Class 92(i), Ordnance &c. mountings], to disks 3', 4<1> carrying sources of light 48 adapted to give narrow beams which are projected on to a screen 45 adjustable from the handle 46 till the beams intersect. Movement of this screen translates a rod 34 and also causes it to pivot so that by means of a rack 57 and a pinion 39 it can set into operation other telemotor devices which will record the distance and azimuth angle of the object from the position corresponding to the point 36 at the receiving station. This operation can be repeated for any number of positions and if the scale carries a marking point the distance of an object can be indicated on a chart and its course followed.
