Title: Improvements in and relating to Work Supports for use in Machines for Operating on the Soles of Boots or Shoes.
Inventor: DENNE MARK THOMAS
IPC: A43D89/00
Filed: 1909-09-03
Granted: 1910-12-01
Abstract: 22,849. Denne, M. T. Sept. 3, 1909. Sole-levelling.-A machine for operating upon the soles of boots &c. is provided with a number of work-supports to be used in conjunction with a single operating-tool, for example, a solelevelling tool. The form described is adapted for use with a sole-levelling machine having a single roller as described in Specification 17,939/09. The machine is provided with a number of equidistant last - supports, radially adjustable for size upon a rotary table 1, Fig. 1. The table carries corresponding toe-rests 28 and guards 31, and each last-pin is carried upon a vertically adjustable post 16 arranged upon a carriage 10 sliding radially upon a second radially sliding carriage 6. The position of the last-pin with respect to a heel clamp to be described may be adjusted by a hand-lever 11, which operates a pinion in gear with a rack upon the carriage 6. The carriage 6 is adjusted radially by a hand-operated screw 7 and handwheel 9. To clamp the last upon the pin 14 without damage, the pin is spring-controlled upon a horizontal radially-arranged pivot, and heel-clamping jaws 18 geared together and carrying a chain 19 are forced against the heel by means of a worm 23, which actuates a lever 21 carrying them. The lever 21 is adjustably secured to the carriage. The worm 23 is splined to a shaft 24 which carries a gear 25. A treadle 27 is so disposed as to actuate an eccentricallyarranged rack-rod 26, the weight of which normally causes the heel jaws to clamp the last. To unclamp the heel, each heel clamp may be operated in turn as its rack-rod comes into line with the treadle. The table is automatically turned to place a jacked boot in position for levelling, and to remove simultaneously a levelled boot after operation. A pulley 141, Fig. 4, is constantly driven by suitable means, and drives one member 139 of a friction coupling, adjacent to which is a sleeve 142 loose on the driving-shaft. The other member 138 of this coupling is connected to a bevel-wheel 136 arranged to turn the table. To effect movement of the table, a treadle &c. coupled to a chain 146 pulls down a shaft 143, which carries a hook 145<a> engaged with a projection 145 on the table, of which one is provided for each jack. A spring surrounding the bolt turns it as soon as it is free of the projection 145, and gear teeth on the bolt which are in engagement with a rack upon the sleeve 142 force the clutch parts together. The table then rotates until the next stop contacts with the hook at the head of the shaft, which has a cam-shaped end to uncouple the clutch.

IPC: E05B65/42
Filed: 1912-09-17
Granted: 1913-07-31
Abstract: 21,122. Weeds, J. Sept. 17. Railway-carriage doors, fastening automatically.-In a railway-carriage door-locking device of the kind in which a centrifugal governor driven from the carriage axle automatically operates latches for the doors, the mechanism is adapted for carriages carried on bogie trucks by arranging it so as to pivot about a point coincident, or nearly so, with the centre of oscillation of the bogie truck. The governors C, Fig. 8, fixed at one end to the axle E, operate a sliding sleeve B against the influence of springs e on rods d and thereby oscillate the forked bell-crank lever X about its pivot X<1>. One end of a lever Y is pivoted at Y<1> and the other end connected to the bell-crank lever X by a rod Z' and to the latch-operating rods L by means of the rod Z<2> and the bell-crank lever z pivoted at y. The hinge Z is coincident with the pivotal centre of the bogie truck and whatever the movement of the truck the hinge Z maintains practical coincidence with this centre. A hand-lever, pivoted to the side of the carriage, may be employed to throw the mechanism in or out of locking action independently of the governors. To hold the forked lever H, Fig. 11, only in the extreme positions out of contact with the rotating disk B, it is provided with a tail H<1> which moves over a curved bracket R, Fig. 12. A spring T is provided to hold the tail H<1> in either of the grooves U, S but in no intermediate position. The .latches Q. Fig. 6, are pivoted at P to the carriage framework and are operated by the longitudinal rods N to engage recesses on the carriage doors. The latches are bevelled at q and slotted at p to permit of closing of a door after the train has started.

Granted: 1913-12-18
Abstract: 4654. Edwards, K. B., and Rance, H. Feb. 24. No Patent granted (Sealing fee not paid). Soaps, apparatus for making. - Apparatus for use in the manufacture of soap and soap powders, consists of a jacketed container 1 provided at each end with a rotary shaft carrying mixing-blades 6, the shafts rotating in opposite directions, and a tubulous vessel 12 serving as a heater or cooler for air and gases conveyed to and from the container. The blades 6 are adapted to clear the sides and ends of the container and to propel the contents towards the middle. In employing the apparatus for the manufacture of soap powder, oils placed in the container are warmed by means of the jacket to about 45‹ C., the alkali is then added, and the ingredients are mixed under a pressure of three of four atmospheres obtained by pumping in air through a valved pipe 11. The caustic is then neutralized by the introduction of carbon dioxide, and the mixture, while being agitated, is dried by a current of hot air conveyed to the container by way of the vessel 12, which is heated by passing steam through tubes 13. When the mixture commences to powder, it is further dried in vacuo, the air-pump being reversed, and cold water passed through the tubes 13 in place of the steam.

Granted: 1914-03-20
Abstract: 6900. Dormer, R. March 20. Signalling i n s t r uments; staff, tablet, and ticket systems; slots, reversers, and like apparatus.-In order to prevent an electrical appar a t u s from being operated by accidental currents, it is arranged that superposed alternating and direct current must be sent to operate it. At the receiving station S S the alternating current passes to earth through the relay A and condenser L. The relay A closes the contact E F, thus forming a path to earth for the direct current through the relay R, the armature r of which controls the circuit of the apparatus to he operated. The direct current is supplied by a battery Y<2> and the alternating current by a battery Y', in circuit with which is an interrupter, alternator, or the like. The keys T, W are arranged to be worked together. In the case when the relay R is polarized and the signal given depends on the polarity of the direct current, an additional relay Q is provided. This relay is adjusted to operate with current of a higher potential than the relay R, so that disturbing current of potential greater than twice that of the normal direct current finds a path direct to earth over the armature of this relay and does not cause incorrect signals to he given by the relay R.
