Title: Improvements in or relating to Machines for Grading or for Evening and Grading Soles and other Parts of Boots and Shoes and for other Allied Uses.
IPC: C14B1/14
Filed: 1912-08-15
Granted: 1913-08-14
Abstract: 18,752. Roberts, W. T. B., and British United Shoe Machinery Co. Aug. 15. Printing-apparatus for gauging-machines.- Relates to a machine for grading or evening and grading boot soles &c. of the kind described in Specification 17,808/09, and consists in a modification of the mechanism between the devices for measuring the thickness of the material and the means for evening it and stamping the appropriate grading or identification mark. The material is passed in through measuring- rolls 8, 9, the lower of which is thereby depressed and the movement due to the variations in thickness of the material, communicated by means of a lever 21 and vertical slide A to a laterally-sliding bar 55 determining the position of the bearings of the roller 70 adjacent to the evening-knife 75. The bar 55 carries a roller B' in engagement with an incline A<4> on the vertical bar A., and two adjustable 'wedges 67 which bear on corresponding surfaces 68 on the bearings of the roller 70. The lower roller 74 is forced against the upper roller 70 by springs. As the work passes between the rollers 8, 9, its varying thickness causes the bar 55 to move idly backwards and forwards until the mark engages a gate J, which causes a rod G' to be withdrawn to allow a pawl F<1> to engage a ratchet rack E<1> on the bar 55. Thereafter the rod 55 is prevented from moving due to greater thickness but moves freely to set the grading. and evening mechanism for a thinner part of the work. The gate J is adjustable along a bar J<2>. The raising of the gate J causes a roller J<4> on an arm J<3> to disengage a catch K from a gate 129 and lower the gate on to the work. As the end of the work runs under the gate, a rod G is operated to disengage a pawl F from a rack E on the bar 55, to lock the bar against movement in the other direction and finally set the roller 70 relatively to the knife 75. The gate 129 is lifted and the catch k reset by a cam on the shaft 65. As the work passes between the evening-rolls 70, 74, the upper one is raised, and a clutch thereby operated to rotate the shaft 65, controlling the descent of the stamping-wheel 61, which is turned to bring the appropriate character into position by mechanism not shown. In order to obtain a clear impression on material of any thickness, the time during which the stamp is in contact with the material is varied automatically. The wheel 61 is mounted on a carrier 62 pressed downwards by a spring but normally held raised by a cam 65<1> on the shaft 65, which engages with a stop 66 slidably mounted in the carrier 62. A depending pin on the stop passes into an inclined groove in a plate moving with the bar 55 so that the stop 66 is slid in and out to vary its effective width according to the thickness of the material.

Granted: 1913-11-03
Abstract: 25,165. Rosenburg, A. Nov. 2. Vaporizers, external.-In the generation of oil gas suitable for use in internal-combustion engines, a mixture of liquid fuel and air or oxygen is injected under pressure into and partially burned in a chamber, so that a combustible vapour is obtained, which, although capable of re-condensation, is free from excess of liquid fuel. A float chamber 26 supplied with fuel from a tank 27 feeds the fuel to an injector and atomizer 15, which is fed with compressed air from a reservoir 29 and forces the mixture of fuel and air into the partial-com- ..bustion chamber 11. The air or oxygen is admitted at a rate less than would suffice to effect complete combustion of the fuel, and the fuel spray produced is sufficiently fine to permit of combustion being initiated without preliminary heating of the chamber, such partial combustion being maintained without the employment of an independent source of flame, a sparking-plug 23 being used for starting purposes only. The partially burning mixture strikes against baffles 24 to effect a thorough mixing, and passes through a layer 25 of wire gauze which prevents the flame of the ignited mixture from passing to the outlet pipe 12. The outlet pipe is provided with a safety-valve 13 and an airadmission valve 14 having an adjustable spring so as to enable the valve to open when the pressure within the pipe 12 falls. A supplementary supply of air and also water or steam or a mixture of water and steam may be introduced into the partial combustion chamber.
