Abstract: 20,132. Shortland, F., and British United Shoe Machinery Co. Sept. 2. Slugging.-The slugging-machine described in Specification 1195/95 is provided with an automatic braking attachment. The machine shaft A is driven from a pulley X through a clutch which comprises a lever B pivoted to the shaft, as shown in Fig. 4, and adapted to engage lugs X<1> in the boss of the pulley. It is thrown out of gear by means of a rod C carrying a cam-piece C<7> and a catch C<5>, which may be placed in the path of the end of the lever B to withdraw it from the pulley boss and retain it. To avoid breakage of the clutch parts due to the engagement of the lever B with a stop on the rod C, this stop, in the present arrangement, is placed lower down the rod so as to be normally inoperative, and the shaft is arrested by a band brake applied automatically on the operation of the cam-piece C<7>. A flexible band D, faced with leather, is adjustably clamped to the machine frame, and passes over a pulley D<3> on the shaft A and through a guide E fixed to the frame, the band being widened at this part. The object of the guide is to ensure that the band shall be raised out of contact with the pulley D<3> when inoperative. On a rock-shaft C' which carries the rod C are also fixed a lever D<8>, a treadle-operated crank C<2>, and a hand-lever C<4>. An adjustable spring D<5> attached to the brake band tends to apply the brake, but the lever D<8> is arranged to engage an aperture in the band to lift it against the action of the spring when the rod C is in its inoperative position and the machine is running. Actuation of the treadle or handlever C<4> uncouples the clutch and simultaneously allows the spring D<5> to apply the brake. The stop on the rod C brings the machine parts to rest should the brake fail to act.
