Granted: 1912-05-23
Abstract: 7877. Mundler, S. April 1. [Addition to 17,288/11.] Theft alarms.-The alarm device is of the kind described in the parent Specification in which a ball 9 projects through a hole in the bottom 7 of the box and supports a spring 11 by means of a pendent piece 12, which normally rests upon the ball but, when the box is moved, allows the spring 11 to make contact with the terminal 5 of the alarm circuit, as shown in Fig. 5. The device can be put out of action, as shown in Fig. 3, by raising the spring 11 by means of the crank 18 operated by the handle 21. The present invention comprises a lever 25 pivoted at 26 and provided with a ring 24 surrounding the pendant 12, for the purpose of adjusting the pendant over the ball. When the device is out of action, the lever 25 is depressed by the spring 27 into the adjusting position shown in Fig. 3, but, when the crank 18 is lowered to set the alarm, it engages the end 25 of the lever and raises the ring 24 so as to free the pendant, as shown in Fig. 5.

Balance gearing; clutches, friction.-In differential gearing, applicable to motor-vehicles, one or more driving-shafts transmit motion to driven shafts through two differential gears. which are geared together so that part of the energy is transmitted through each differential. The driving-shafts 1, 21 each carry planet-pinions gearing with bevel - wheels 6, 8 and 26, 28 respectively; the wheels 8, 28 are fixed to the driven shafts 9, 29 and the wheels 6, 26 are loose on the driving-shafts. Spur-wheels 41, 44, fixed to a sleeve 42 mounted loosely on a stub axle 48, gear with the wheels 6, 28 respectively, and the wheels 8, 26 are connected by a wheel 45 loosely mounted on the sleeve. By means of a clutch 49 having an engaging surface formed by cork insets 55, the wheel 45 can be clutched to the sleeve 42 when it is desired to render the differential gearing ineffective. In the case of automobiles, it is preferred that the shafts 1, 21 should be driven from a single shaft through variable-speed gearing.

Title: Improvements in or relating to Machines for Shaping the Vamps or Uppers of Boots and Shoes.
Inventor: BOULT ALFRED JULIUS
IPC: A43D8/04
Filed: 1912-10-07
Granted: 1913-11-07
Abstract: 20,406. Boult, A. J., [United Shoe Machinery Co.]. Oct. 7, 1912. Uppers, machines for.-The forepart former of the machine described in S p e c i f i c a t i o n 11,802/12 is arranged to have a further upward movement, after the upper has been blocked to shape, for the purpose of stretching the margin of the upper so that it will stand substantially parallel with the sides of the last when the boot is assembled. The work-table 6, having a central aperture through which the forepart former 10 protrudes, is supported by a wedge 8 on a vertically sliding head. The former is supported at a similar inclination to that of the table upon a plunger 12, which extends through guides 13, 14 in the sliding head to a link 15, by which it is connected to the short arm of a bell-crank lever operated by a treadle 18. A spring 20 is confined on the plunger between the movable head and a collar 21 fixed on the plunger. When the treadle is depressed, the head and the former are raised together until the margin of the upper operated upon is clamped between the table and a member 25, whereupon the spring yields while the former is thrust upwards into the vamp. The furepart former and an upper compression device 40 contain steam chambers as described in Specification 22,858/12. The treadle is adapted towards the end of its stroke to pull the wedge 8 outwards a little. The treadle may be held depressed with the upper in this position by a catch with ratchet teeth. A stop enables the treadle to be accurately positioned. After the upper has set, the treadle is further depressed, pulling out the wedge still more, and causing the upper to be dragged from between the clamping- member and the table as the table falls due to the withdrawal of the wedge. This dragging operation shapes the margin of the blocked upper and brings it to a convenient position and condition for operation on by the grippers of pulling-over and lasting machines. Specification 20,407/13 also is referred to.
