Title: Improvements in Heels for Boots and Shoes.
Inventor: BURNHAM SAMUEL
IPC: A43B21/42
Filed: 1909-02-10
Granted: 1909-07-22
Abstract: 3299. Burnham, S. Feb. 10. Protectors, securing.-Heels of boots and shoes in which the tread layer is detachable are constructed as follows. The tread 23, which may be in sections independently renewable, has screws 32, with notches 35, projecting from its upper surface. The lower part of the fixed portion of the heel contains a sliding plate 7 normally pressed by a spring into the position shown. A projection 19 'at the heel tread enables this plate to be moved inwards till holes 14 in the plate register with holes 13 in the underside of the fixed portion of the heel. The screws 32 may then be introduced into these holes. The plate 7 engages the notches 35 to retain the tread. The plate 7 may be fitted in a metal box 3, as shown in Fig. 2, and attached by screws to the upper lifts 2 of the heel, which screws form stops for the plate 7 as indicated at 8 in Fig. 4; or it may be arranged in a hollow in the heel itself covered by a plate, the attaching-screws of the plate forming the stops.

Granted: 1910-09-21
Abstract: 21,535. Lundeberg, A. F. Sept. 21. Processes for moulding artificial wood slabs &c. Fine saw-dust or pulverized vegetable matter and colouring-matter &c. are mixed with a liquid drying oil, which may be mixed with resins, wax, &c., the mixture is subjected to the action of air to oxidize the oil, and the nearly - dry pulverized mass is sifted through stencils into a mould to form the face of a slab having any desired pattern. A mono-coloured backing layer is then sifted into the mould and the slab is moulded under great pressure, first at a high temperature and then at a low temperature. The slabs or plates may be used for covering walls, ceilings, floors, door-panels, chessboards, table tops, chair bottoms, picture frames, linings for vessels &c. Fig. 1 shows a mould frame 1 fitted with a bent partition strip 2 for producing a decorative plate in different colours. Stencil plates 3 are placed in succession over the mould, coloured powdered material is sifted into the compartments on the belt 9 to form a pattern 4 ... 8 and is consolidated by suction through the belt, the partition strip is carefully raised, and a coarser backing powder 14 is sifted into the mould frame. The web 9 is movable over a series of suction boxes 11, 12, 13 and the suction is increased as the pattern is completed. The filled mould frames are placed one over another in a press provided with hollow pressing-heads, into which the heating and cooling media are introduced. The pressing-heads may be covered with a bad conductor of heat, such as paper, cloth &c. The plates or slabs may be moulded with patterns in relief as shown in Fig. 5.

Granted: 1910-06-02
Abstract: 27,592. Thompson, W. P., [Holly Turbine Engine Co.]. Nov. 26. Combined-flow type; blades, nozzles, and the like; regulating.-A symmetrically - arranged turbine has on each side of a central partition 5, Fig. 1, on the rotor, radially-disposed blades 3 with lateral outlets 81, axial-flow blades receiving the steam from these outlets and radial-flow blades 82 on the faces of the rotor. The long blades 82 are provided with shroudings suitably mortised in the ends of the blades. Steam from a common annular chamber 79 passes to the two sets of blades through separate annular passages 11, in which are arranged sets of adjustable nozzles. Each nozzle comprises a fixed wall 14, Fig. 5, and a movable wall on a pivoted block 12. The block 12 is so shaped that in all positions it provides a nozzle passage which contracts toward the bladings. The blocks 12 engage with a ring 84, which is turned to adjust the nozzle passages by a lever 20. Two shafts 23 are situated diametrically opposite each other. Each carries two levers 20, one for each ring 84. The levers are secured to the shafts but may be adjusted relatively to one another so as to alter the distribution of the load between the two parts of the turbine. The shafts 23 are actuated by levers 73, Fig. 11, linked together by a bar 71 carrying a rack 70, which is engaged by a pinion 69 of the governorgear. If the pinion passes beyond the end of the rack 70, it releases a striker 75, which then rings a bell 78 and gives an indication that the turbine is overloaded. The governor may be disconnected by a latch 74, which, when turned upwards, lowers the rod 71 and rack 70 out of engagement with the pinion 69. The pinion is driven by a differential toothed gear comprising a fixed wheel 68, Fig. 10, and a gyratiug wheel 65 having different numbers of teeth. The wheel 65 is fixed to a spindle 62 universally jointed to a shaft 66 and a wheel 59. The wheel 59 is rotated by frictional contact with one or other of the wheels 43, 44, which rotate with the governor spindle and are brought into contact with the wheel 59 when the speed is too high or too low respectively.
