Title: Improvements in the Manufacture of Clogs or the like.
Inventor: BINNALL ROBERT
Filed: 1908-03-03
Granted: 1908-10-29
Abstract: 4797. Binnall, R. March 3. Clogs; soles; heels; sole and heel protectors.-A clog is constructed so that it has the appearance of an ordinary boot, instead of having the usual row of attaching-nails showing round the side edges of the sole. The upper b, Fig. 2, is lasted over an insole a of wood or leather having one or more layers of canvas cemented to its under-surface, and preferably a further layer of canvas is cemented over the joint. A strip or welt c of leather, strong cloth, &c. is then secured round the edges of the lasted upper, after which a wooden clog sole d is secured by nails, screws, &c. A metal strengthening-plate h is preferably secured to this wooden sole, and, finally, the whole bottom of the boot is covered with a tread (not shown) of india-rubber, gutta-percha, &c., but preferably with the composition and in the manner described in Specification No. 12,550, A.D. 1906. In modifications, the strip c may be secured to the sole d instead of to the lasted upper, while the tread may be moulded to the sole d before the sole is secured to the insole. In this case, holes for the attaching-screws &c. are moulded in the tread, and are afterwards plugged. The sole d may only extend as far as the heel, and a separate heel consisting of a bottom lift of wood and a top lift of the composition may be used. Instead of the tread, an "iron" as shown in Fig. 5 may be used. This is made of rubber or composition, and is moulded to cover the attaching - screws k for the wooden sole d. Such an " iron " may also be moulded to the treads already described.

Title: Improvements in and relating to Autographic Registers or Check Tills
Filed: 1908-04-06
Granted: 1909-04-01
Abstract: 7626. National Cash Register Co., [National Cash Register Co.]. April 6. Tills.-Autographic check-tills are so constructed that depression of the hand-lever feeds a coin from the displaying-spider into the cash-drawer,. which is projected by a spring when the lever is released. Mechanism is also described for operating the paper strip, and for preventing the operation of the lever except when the drawer is closed. The hand-lever 4 operates a piece 11, which effects the oscillation of a plate 14 and a shafs 16 by means shown in Fig. 7. The plate 14 drives the coin-displaying spider 20, Fig. 1, through a dog 31, Fig. 2, and a wheel 33 on the shaft 23, and carries pins 34, 35, which, coacting with a wheel 29, prevent rotation of the spider except through the hand-lever. A full-stroke pawl 18<1> ensures the completion of any movement of the plate 14. In the path of this plate is arranged a spring-controlled piece. 38, Fig. 5, which prevents its motion except when the drawer, being closed, presses upon the nose 41 and moves.a shoulder 43 clear of the plate. Depression of the hand-lever thus effects the rotation of the spider 20 through one space, discharging one coin through the opening 21 into the cash drawer, which is unlocked and driven out by a spring 54 on the return of the lever, when a pawl 52, on an arm 47 secured to the shaft 16, presses upon a pin 51 on a lever 48, which it passes on the down-stroke of the hand lever. The record-strip mechanism comprises a ratchet 60 and roll 58 loosely mounted on the shaft 16, and operated through a pawl 63 by a dog 61 secured to the shaft. The displayer is so shaped that the base passes with a curve into the lateral surface, so that coins do not jam on rapid operation of the register.
