Title: Improvements in or relating to stapling machines for use in the manufacture of boots or shoes
IPC: A43D75/00
Filed: 1919-12-19
Abstract: 160,530. Bates, A., and British United Shoe Machinery Co., Ltd. Dec. 19, 1919. Stapling.-In a machine for inserting fine wire staples through the upper and channel lip or rib or shoulder of a sole of a lasted boot means are provided to vary the character of the staple in accordance with the thickness of the work; the invention also includes improved wire-feeding and wire-cutting mechanisms. The invention is described as applied to the machine described in Specification 24456/10. A slotted bar 1, Fig. 1, is guided upon pins 3 and 5 and is attached to and moves with an anvil or staple clincher 110, being joined to it by a rod 9 &c. The pin 3 projects from a member 19 pivoted at 21 and operating by a pin 29 and slot a wire-guide 50. The position of the wire is thus controlled by the position of the anvil. A cutter 48, Fig. 5, is carried by a stapleformer 34, being pivoted to it at 31 and pressed inwards by a spring 33. The pin 5, Fig. 1, projects from one arm of a bell-crank 35 normally pressed upward by a spring 35* about a pivot. The other arm of the bell-crank carries a block 37, Fig. 2, embracing a rod 51 attached to the wire-feed mechanism. The parts are so proportioned that once the movement of this anvil becomes operative the wire-feed is influenced by twice the amount, according to the thickness of the work. The pins 3, 5 are not influenced at the commencement of the movement of the anvil, being set for a minimum feed. The organisation of the machine is such that the main portion of the feed occurs before the machine automatically stops. The movement of the anvil 110 callipers the work and adjusts the bell-crank arm and block on the rod 51. This position is maintained by a tooth 49 on a spring-pressed lever 39 bearing a roller 41. As a cam 43 on the main shaft rotates, the lever 39 presses down the rod 51 and correspondingly moves the wire-feed mechanism as explained by twice the amount of the movement of the anvil 110. In a modified form of the machine, thewire-feed is set for a maximum feed and a rod similar to 51 works a lever to reduce the wirefeed by twice the amount of the movement of the anvil 110. Specifications 23657/12 and 8958/15. also are referred to.

The rotating vessel has a hinged lid 3 with balance weight 4. The Provisional Specification refers to the treatment of the dough in the trough or on the board. Specification 236,197, [Class 49, Food &c.], is referred to.

Abstract: 365,644. Boot &c. stiffeners. BRITISH UNITED SHOE MACHINERY CO., Ltd. and MELLERIO, L. P., Union Works, Belgrave Road, Leicester. Oct. 24, 1930, No. 31962. [Class 17 (ii).] To prevent exudation of stiffening material from shoe upper stiffeners, more especially those prepared as described in Specification 352,078, when heated, one or both surfaces of the stiffener are lightly sized before impregnation. The finished fabric still in the web may be sprayed on one or both sides with a fine spray of an aqueous solution of a non-thermoplastic sizing substance, such as glue or starch in water, and small proportions of rubber latex may also be present. The fabric is then dried and the blanks prepared therefrom. The sizing may be carried out in course of manufacture of the fabric by spraying during some stage in its finishing and before final drying, to avoid a separate drying operation. The fabric is not stiffened by the sizing, and subsequent absorption of the stiffening material is not impeded. Specifications 18174/13, 117,068, 236,600, 275,575, 281,771, [all in Class 17 (ii), Boots and shoes, Construction of], and 340,603 are also referred to.

The slight angular adjustment for ensuring accurate positioning of the tool is obtained by screwing-in one of the conicallyended plugs 33 and withdrawing the other. The plugs may also be used to take up wear.

IPC: C23C2/06
Filed: 1955-11-10
Abstract: In a method of galvanizing articles they are dipped in a zinc bath contained in a tank formed of a ceramic or like refractory material at a temperature substantially in excess of 460 DEG C. (i.e. 480-650 DEG C.) so as considerably to reduce the viscosity of the zinc, the dipped articles are then removed from the bath and submitted to shaking, vibration or centrifuging to discharge or remove excess zinc.  A substance such as aluminium, in an amount of from 0.01 to 0.3 per cent by weight, may be added to the zinc to accentuate viscosity reduction of the bath.

Title: Improvements in or relating to planting machines
IPC: A01C11/02
Filed: 1930-10-27
Abstract: 371,829. Planting machines. POMIERANIEC, I., 4, Eden Mansions, Gondar Gardens, Mill Lane, London. Oct. 27, 1930, No. 32273. [Class 6 (i).] In a planting-machine provided with devices for carrying plants to the soil, these devices are so arranged that they receive the plants in two separate rows but their paths converge so that the plants are planted substantially in a single row. The devices may consist of grippers or funnels, and they may be mounted on endless bands or wheels or discs. Two inclined endless conveyer bands 1, 2 may be arranged as shown and driven in the same direction as the travelling wheels. Each consists of sections 4 hinged together and provided with depressed inner parts 5. Between the conveyers is a third endless band 7 consisting of a double set of links pivotally connected together. On the band 7 are gripper supports 13 projecting at right-angles and bent outwards at their ends alternately in opposite directions. Gripper arms 16 are pivotally connected by pins 17 to the supports 13 and carry other gripper arms 18 pivoted on pins 19 and controlled by springs 22 which tend to press the arms 16, 18 together. The arms 18 are moved away from the arms 16 by the engagement of pins 28 with guides 30, the pins being carried by levers 25, 26 pivoted on the arms 16 and provided with rollers 29 bearing against the arms 18. A guide pin 23 projects from each arm 16 into a grooved guide 24. Plants are placed on the conveyers 1, 2 with their leaf parts between gripper pins 20, 21 on the separated arms 16, 18. The guides 24, 30 are so disposed that as a gripper support commences to move over the sprocket wheel 9 the gripper closes and starts to turn about the pin 17 into a position radial to the wheel 9 and practically in line with the support 13. When it reaches the vertical hanging position the gripper opens and releases the plant, the gripper at this point being stationary relatively to the ground since its backward speed is equal to the forward speed of the machine. After depositing the plant in a furrow formed by a share the gripper turns again about the pin 17 into its laterally projecting position. Wheels or rollers may be provided to press the soil on the plants. The grippers. may be carried by two converging wheels or endless bands. Each grooved guide may be replaced by two guides, and stops may be provided to prevent crushing of the plants by the pins 20, 21. Grippers or planting-funnels may be fed directly by hand, and grippers may be actuated manually. The Provisional Specification indicates other arrangements for mounting and actuating the grippers and states that they may be mounted on arms arranged similarly. to those described in Specification 344,349 but projecting alternately on opposite sides of the carrying band.
