Title: Improvements in Band Cutter Apparatus especially intended for Trimming Boots and Shoes.
Inventor: JOHNSON JAMES YATE
IPC: A43D49/00
Filed: 1909-06-23
Granted: 1909-12-31
Abstract: 14,756. Johnson, J. Y., [Keighley Co.]. June 23. Band-saw machines; saw guards; tables and fences; lubricating saws; saw guides.-A bandsaw D, Fig. 1, for trimming waste leather from the in-seams of boots &c., passes over two pulleys B, B<1>, one of which is adjustable towards the other, which is driven from some source of power. A work-support C rests on the frame close to the saw, and carries guards c<1>, c<2>, which pass round the saw. A bar c, Fig. 5, rests in a recess in the support C and presses against the saw, towards which it may be adjusted. A clamping-plate c<8> holds the bar in position. A bracket a<2>, Fig. 3, extending from the main frame carries a rod a<3>, adjusted by a screw a<6>, which carries a block E supporting guides e, e<1> adjustable towards each other and provided with passages for the saw. A piece of felt or similar material e<2> is placed between these guides and is saturated with oil or similar lubricant from a sight-feed cup. A clamp e<4> holds the felt in place. A weight a<8> is attached by a cord a<7>, passing over a pulley a<5> on an extension of the bracket a<2>, to the block E. The saw between the support C and the underside of the block E is protected by a guard F supported by a rod f, which rests at its lower end on the post C, while its upper end passes through a passage in the clamping-piece e<4>. The saw is sharpened by two emery wheels P, Q, which are driven from the pulley B'. The wheel P is movable by a treadle in a direction parallel to the plane of the saw, while the wheel Q can be moved in a direction perpendicular to the plane of the saw. One side of the saw is thus ground flat, while the other side is given a bevelled edge.

Granted: 1910-01-27
Abstract: 21,763. Allgemeine Elektricitõts-Ges. Sept. 24, 1908, [Convention date]. Condenser s y s - tems.-In a combined rotary pump 2 for water of condensation and centrifugal Sprengel air - pump 3, the pumps are arranged within a casing and have a common inlet 6.

Abstract: 23,481. Walker, A. H., [Mergenthaler Setzmaschinen-Fabrik Ges.]. Oct. 14. Assembling matrices; spacers.-Relates to means for supporting in operative position two-face matrices (or type-dies). The Figures show part of a machine of the kind described in Specifications 18,886/95 and 17,962/98, wherein matrices 1 are supported opposite the mould 8 by means of ledges 12, 14 so arranged that the lugs 4 rest on the ledge 12 when the formative cavity 7 is in position, and the lugs 2, 3 rest on the ledge 14 when the formative cavity 6 is in position, the lugs 4 then coming under the ledge 12. To prevent wear of the matrices, the ledge 12 is made wider than the lugs 4 and thus extends beneath the body of the matrix, so that the area of contact is increased. To permit the matrices to be assembled in the lower position, they are formed with a notch 15 in the front edge so as to clear the extra width of the ledge. The spacers are also formed with a notch 20 ; in the case of single or double wedge spacers, the notch extends nearly the whole length of the spacers to permit them to be driven up during justification. The ledge 12 may be movable, and may be applied to the assembling- elevator and the intermediate channel.

Title: Improvements in Electric Vapour Lamps.
Inventor: RITZMANN KARL
IPC: H05B41/19

Granted: 1911-10-26
Abstract: 27,163. Ritzmann, K., Wolfke, M., and Lissy, F. Nov. 22. Low-pressure metallicvapour a p p a r a t u s.-A cathode consists of an alloy of any of the metals bismuth, tin, cadmium, and thallium, starting being effected by means of an induction coil and auxiliary electrode, or of a substance such as an alkaline earth which emits ions when heated, this substance being placed near the cathode. The quantities of metals in the alloy may be proportional to their atomic weights. In one form of lamp, a tube 1, Fig. 1, of very hard glass, contains the cathode and an anode 7 of carbon, iron, or other material connected by a rod 5 to the movable core of a solenoid 8, which surrounds an extension of an outer globe 3. A flange 12 on the rod 5 fits closely against a cap 11 on the tube 1 when the anode is raised. The tube 1 is partly coated inside with an alkaline earth. Another form comprises a closed quartz-glass cylinder with rounded ends, and a stationary anode near its upper end. A starting-body is placed just above the cathode, and is in a circuit which is opened, say by an electromagnetic switch, when the main current flows. Alternatively, a starting-anode is connected to the cathode through the secondary of an induction coil, which has a primary winding in shunt to the lamp, and also a series winding, so that the make- and-break switch is held open when the lamp is working. Specification 13,413/06 is referred to.

Abstract: 1245. Headland, H. W., and Headland, H. W. Jan. 17. Coin-handling appliances.-In a pay-desk or counter provided with a number of electric contacts adapted to be connected by coins placed thereon to close one or more circuits to illuminate or operate advertisements or signs, an arrangement is provided for retarding the opening of the circuit after the removal of the coins. The disk is provided with a contact plate consisting of rings 2 arranged on an insulating- base and alternately connected to opposite poles of a battery or accumulator 6, one connexion passing through an electro-magnet 10 which is energized to attract its armature to let fall a lever 14, the fork 24 of which falls into mercury or other contacts 16<a> in the circuit of lamps or the like 26. At the same time, the projection 20 rises to close the circuit of a motor 7, at spring contact 16. The motor 7 drives clockwork 9 to turn a pin 37 on a disk 36. This pin, after a time, contacts with an arm 34 carrying a weight 33, which is turned until it falls over to depress the projection 20 to break the lamp circuit and re-set the apparatus. Several advertising - devices may be simultaneously controlled by one or more motors, and, instead of employing a lever 14, the electro-magnet 10 may operate one or more motor-starters or a relay. In another form, the coins complete a circuit including a solenoid, the plunger of which carries a contact switch and is acted on bv a dash-pot to retard the breaking of the circuit. Other forms of contact plates are shown in Figs. 5 and 9, the former having hollowed out split bars 57 of opposite polarity, and the latter having the rings divided into segments .s. The plate may also consist of rings formed of wire helices connected at intervals to leads, or the helices may be bent into spiral form to form a kind of mat with insulated sections. The base may be made flush with the disk or even dispensed with, and the contact-pieces may be mounted on springs or hinges.

Abstract: 16,904. Johnston, G. G. Feb. 2, [Convention date]. Backings; compound fabrics.-Consists in a process for making a pliable leather combined with vulcanized rubber. For boot soles or heels, the leather, after a special tannage, fat-liquoring, and degreasing, is solutioned and covered with rubber compound, the whole being subsequently vulcanized with dry heat. The leather may be pierced with holes, into which the rubber enters in the form of plugs. Shaped articles, such as tyre covers, are made by moulding the wet grease-saturated leather to shape, drying it. and removing the grease. They are then coated with vulcanizing-solution, and raw rubber compound is applied and vulcanized between 250‹ and 350‹ F.
