Title: An Improved Work-feeding Mechanism for Boot and Shoe Screwing Machines.
IPC: A43D86/00

Granted: 1911-12-21
Abstract: 5008. Universal Shoe Machinery Co., Ward, A., and Gent, A. S. Feb. 28. [Cognate Application, 12,878/11.] Loose - nailing; slugging.-A feeding-device for the work in screwing, nailing, and slugging machines for boots &c., comprises an awl or feeding-tool mounted on the end of a plunger to which reciprocatory and rotary motions are imparted. The rod c is reciprocated by a lever n operated from a cam in a cam-block q throngh a link p. The upper end of the rod is squared and carries loosely a radial arm r, Fig. 3, jointed to a link s connecting it to a reciprocating slide t operated by a second cam in the block q. The point of connexion between the link s and the arm r is adjustable to vary the rotary movement of the rod c and thus the feed of the work. The feeding-tool, Fig. 4, is pivoted to a block u secured to the plunger; a spring w enables it to accommodate itself to varying thicknesses of work. In Provisional Specification 5008/11, a means for operating the feeding- tool is described comprising two plungers each operated by a cam and a spring. The one plunger carries the tool and gives it the vertical reciprocating movement; the other plunger gives a rotary movement to the first plunger through a system of levers, the amount of such movement being adjustable.

Title: Combination Phonographs and Moving Picture Apparatus.
Inventor: HIGHAM DANIEL
Filed: 1911-03-08
Granted: 1912-03-07
Abstract: 5840. Higham, D. March 8. Differential speed indicators; with means for controlling motors. -In synchronizing a phonograph with a kinematograph, each having separate driving-means, one being constant, a brake is automatically applied to reduce the speed of the variable driving- means, when its speed is greater than that necessary for synchronism, as shown in Fig. 1. A second part of the invention relates to a differential gear, Fig. 3, adjustable by hand, for accelerating either machine when out of synchronism. The phonograph 31, when placed behind the screen is connected by light cords 30 with a pulley 37 on the differential gear 34, of which the pulley 38 is connected by cords 39 with a pulley 27 on the braking-device, Fig. 1. The kinematograph 1 has its spindle 2 connected with a longitudinal sliding worm 18 by an adjustable coupling 21, 22. The pulley 27 carries on its spindle 12 another worm 13, which, fogether with the worm 18 engages a worm-wheel 14. If the kinematograph handle 3 is operated too quickly for the phonograph, the worm 18 moves itself to the left in Fig. 1, and applies a bell-crank lever 26 having a brake shoe 10 against a brake wheel 9 which is rotated from the kinematograph spindle 2 by gears 6, 7. Thus the kinematograph slows down, until the brake no longer operates. To keep the machine in synchronism, the kinematograph has to be rotated at such a speed as to just not apply the brake 10. The differential, Fig. 3, consists of pulleys 37, 38 which are connected by cords 30, 39 with the phonograph and kinematograph respectively, on spindles 35, 36 having bevelwheels 44, 45 connected by a bevel-wheel 48. The bevel-wheel 48 is carried by a gear-wheel 40 which may be rotated by a hand-wheel 55 and gear-wheel 53 whereby the speed of the kinematograph may be allowed to become greater, or on the other hand its brake may be applied. The cords 30 may be replaced by wires connecting synchronous electric motors, or another phonograph running synchronously with the phonograph 31 may be employed near to and connected with the differential 34.

Furs and furriery.-A pelt-combing machine comprises an endless comb 13, a yielding pressure roll 27 mounted above the comb, and a duct 25 with a perforated surface 24 through which the foreign matter and loose hair pass. The comb may have teeth of two or more different lengths 10, 11, Fig. 4, the teeth having heads or being formed integrally in pairs, as shown in Fig. 5. They are passed through section plates 17, by which they are secured to the power-driven wheel 13. The teeth are inclined away from the direction of rotation, as shown by the arrow, and the pelt is passed backwards and forwards over the comb, the operator standing at the end 22 of the machine. The presser 27, consisting of a fur-covered roller, optionally padded, is suspended by rods 31 from a cross-bar 33, the lowest position cf which may be altered by changing the height of an abutment block upon which it rests. The downward pressure may be aided by weights or springs 41, and a guard 26 protects the operator's hands from contact with the comb.
