Title: Improvements in or relating to the lacing of boot or shoe uppers and machines therefor
IPC: A43D11/08
Filed: 1936-04-20
Abstract: 474,025. Shoe-lacing machines. BRITISH UNITED SHOE MACHINERY CO., Ltd. (United Shoe Machinery Corporation) April 20, 1936, No. 11215. [Class 43] A method of lacing shoe uppers prior to the lasting operation comprises passing a loop of lacing cord through aligned eyelet holes of a folded upper and then passing loops of the same cord alternately across the edges of the upper and through the eyelets, and locking the loops by passing each loop through the preceding loop. Means are provided to leave sufficient slack to permit opening out of the upper for application to a last. A machine for lacing an upper in the manner shown in Fig. 3 comprises six needles 2 spaced apart so that the eyelets of a selected upper may be placed over them. The needles are mounted on bars 32, Fig. 11, arranged to slide in guideways formed in carriers 46 and blocks 48 carried by frames 153, the spacing of the needles being adjusted by a lever 190, Fig. 4, and links 192 connected to the frames. The machine is operated by a driving pulley 24 through a clutch 400 controlled by a treadle- . operated rod 26. The driving shaft 16 makes six revolutions per operation and drives a camshaft 82 making one revolution per operation. When the machine, which is .shown at rest in Figs. 1 and 4, is started the needles are brought into operative position and the upper is clamped between jaws 34, 36, Fig. 17. A cord for each needle passes through guides, a tensioning device 184, Fig. 11, a take-up 40 and the needle eye to a gripping device 44. Loop takers 38 are mounted for reciprocation in a path at right-angles to the path of the needles, the needles and loop takers being actuated by a spur gear 80 and cam mechanism. The needle carriers are moved transversely of the path of the needles so that alternate strokes of the needles pass through the eyelets and outside the edge of the uppers. A loop taker comprises a pair of points 294, 332, Fig. 52, which engage a bight of the cord presented by the needle when passed through the eyelets, the points separating to form a loop as the loop taker is moved to a position in which the loop may be entered by the needle on its next up-stroke outside the edge of the upper. Another bight of cord is then engaged by a second pair of points 296, 334, the first loop being dropped as the loop taker moves back. Slack is obtained in the locked loops by an arm 162 round which the cord is taken as the needle is reciprocated. When four loops have been made and locked the cord is severed by a cutter 42, the gripper 44 having previously released the end of the cord and gripped the cord again adjacent the needle during its fifth down stroke. The gripper is released slightly during the sixth and final stroke of the needle to draw the loose length of cord back through the needle eye. The machine has a brake associated with the clutch, and as the machine stops the needle carriers are moved forwardly and downwardly, the loop takers rearwardly and upwardly, and the upper clamping jaw is raised.

Filed: 1973-03-08
Abstract: 1406905 Feeding sheets S R HALBERT 8 March 1973 [15 May 1972] 11312/73 Heading B8R A stack of data cards is supported on a table 22, Figs. 1 and 2, with its trailing edge on a wedge 86 and its leading edge abutting a stop 82 and overlying a friction wheel 56. With no card between a light-emitting diode 45 and receiver 41, solenoid 28 is energized to lift pick-up wheel 56 against the bottom card and retract stop 82, the bottom card 90 thereby being rotated about axis 98 to pass under the throat knife 46 and between feed wheels 42, 44. Movement of the card between the light emitter and receiver causes solenoid 28 to be deenergized so that the friction wheel is retracted and the stop 82 projected. A solenoid 76 is simultaneously energized to lift feed wheel 42 and cause forward feed of the card. As it leaves the device 41, 45 the cycle is repeated.

Title: Apparatus for indicating the deviations of a borehole from the vertical
IPC: E21B47/022
Filed: 1920-04-23
Abstract: 142,129. Choppinet, J., Gillon, G., and Defays, V. April 23, 1919, [Convention date]. Bore-hole clinometers.-An instrument for indicating the magnitude and direction of deviation of bore-holes from the vertical comprises a frame 29 slidably mounted within a protecting casing 30 and supporting gimbals 24 in which is mounted an arm 20 weighted at its lower end 31 and carrying at its upper end three or more brushes 33 arranged at the corners of a regular polygon. The brushes bear on a concave plate 34 which is secured to the frame and is uniformly rotated by gearing from a motor 39. The plate 34 is of insulating material into which is inserted a radial strip of conducting material. An electro-magnetic brake 45 is provided to lock the arm 20 when required. The recording-device above ground comprises a disk 50 which is driven in synchionism with the plate 34 by gearing from a motor 56. Mounted above the disk is a scribing point 66 adapted to be moved radially by an electro-magnet 61, the circuit of which is completed each time the conducting strip on the plate 34 passes over any one of the brushes 33. The deviation of the bore-hole from the vertical is deduced from the intervals at which radial lines occur on the disk 50, these intervals being equal when the hole is vertical. A second scribing arm 74 is operated by an electro-magnet 72 at each revolution of the plate 34, the radial line thus produced serving as a datum line and also as a check on the synchionism of the disk 50. In order that the circles described by the point 66 may be of different radii for different depths of the actuating instruments within the borehole, the magnet 61 is mounted on a slidable carriage 59 having a rack 67 gearing with a pinion 68 on the spindle of which is a ratchet-wheel 69 engaged by a pawl 69<1> which is adapted to be operated by a tappet-device 70 actuated according to the position of the casing 30 within the bore-hole.
