Title: Process for manufacturing battery plates
IPC: H01M4/20
Filed: 1969-05-05
Abstract: 1,203,917. Battery plates. FORD MOTOR CO. Ltd. 5 May, 1969 [16 May, 1968], No. 22737/69. Heading H1B. In making plates for lead acid batteries at least one side of each lead-base grid is sanded to produce a substantially uniform thickness before filling the grid with paste. In the sanding and pasting apparatus shown the grids are initially supported from two slowly moving laterally spaced chains 20 by tabs projecting from the opposite upper sides of the grid, the chains forming part of the feeder mechanism 10. The grids are transferred to faster moving chains 34 by two reciprocating lugs 32 having small vacuum caps thereon and as the grids move left their bottom edges slide up cam 38 until they become horizontal. The grids are then fed to carrier belt 42 which can have an abrasive surface and one face of each grid is brought into contact with a sander belt 52 which moves at a higher speed and in the opposite direction to carrier belt 42. Both carrier 42 and sander belt 62 can have a surface of electrostatically deposited silicon carbide grit. The grids are then passed between guide rails 62 of aligning mechanism 14 and then to the pasting mechanism 16. Here the grids are fed between die plates 88, 90 and paste is forced on to the grids from hopper 84 and base 86 through elongated orifices in the die plates. As the paste-filled grids move to the left their bottom edges slide down cam member 116 of unloading mechanism 18 until they become vertical.

Title: Improvements in or relating to the securing together of shoe parts
IPC: A43B13/32
Filed: 1934-08-04
Abstract: 443,289. Making boots and shoes. UNITED SHOE MACHINERY CORPORATION, 140, Federal Street, Boston, U.S.A.- (Assignees of Tetlow, M. W.; Dorchester, Boston, U.S.A.) Aug. 4, 1934, No. 22778. Convention date, Aug. 10, 1933. Addition to 424,343. [Classes 17 (ii) and 112] [See also Groups V and IX] Shoe parts are secured together by inserting stitches of thread, composed at least in part of fibres of soluble material, in one of the pieces, treating the thread with a solvent either before or after stitching, or both before and after, to generate cement and pressing the pieces together with the cement between. The stitches may, if desired, secure the two pieces of stock together. The thread may be composed of a plurality of strands of soluble material, such as a soluble cellulose derivative, for example cellulose acetate, associated with a plurality of strands of insoluble material, such as cotton or linen. The method mav be employed for the adhesive connection of an outer sole to the overlasted margin of an upper. For this purpose, chain stitching with the double thread on the outside of the upper may be made around the margin of the upper in the lasting allowance, before the upper is lasted. The stitching around the upper may serve as an anchoring means for the cement employed in securing the outer sole thus avoiding a roughening operation, and the application of solvent to adhesive on the sole may be rendered unnecessary if sufficient solvent is applied to the thread. A welt may be secured to a lasted upper and insole by an inseam employing thread as described, and an outer sole may be secured by cement to the inseam and adjacent portions of the welt and the shoe bottom. Specifications 283,978, 284,179, 284,185, 294,640, [all in Class 17 (i)], 399,525, 406,030, 408,953, and 416,937 are referred to. The Specification as open to inspection under Sect. 91 comprises also an alternative form of thread composed of cellulose acetate fibres, or a composite thread wherein a core of insoluble material, such as cotton or linen, is enclosed by an outer layer of soluble material such as cellulose acetate. Further, in connecting an upper to an insole, a plurality of rows of stitching-referred to as fair-stitching- which pass through the upper and penetrates well into but not through the insole may be made in the overlasted margin of the upper, as shown in Fig. 9 (Cancelled), while the last is in the shoe. Such stitching 58 may be performed by apparatus described in U.S.A. Specifications 562,335, 563,871, and 584,952. This subject-matter does not appear in the Specification as accepted.
