Inventor: DAEUKER WILHELM
IPC: A43D1/00
Filed: 1910-05-04
Granted: 1910-08-25
Abstract: 11,069. Dõuker, W. May 15, 1909, [Convention date]. Boots and shoes, measuring for.-A device for determining exactly the shape of the foot comprises a base-plate c, and a number of adjustable bars a, a<1>, b, d, f, h, i, g, k, of which the bars d, g, h, and i are pivoted.

Granted: 1910-10-27
Abstract: 12,115. Harrap, W. O. May 17. Filters; decanting. - The apparatus for filtering oil and separating it from water comprises three parts, a chamber 2 in which solid matters settle, and from which the oil overflows through one or more perforated cylinders 6, a chamber 1 in which filtering-material is held between perforated plates 7, 8, and a chamber 13 which forms a receiver for the filtered oil, and has a compartment in which water is separated from the oil by decantation. The mixed oil and water from the filter enter the passage 17, and the oil overflows into the main part of the chamber 13 through a vertical glass tube situated outside of the apparatus and serving to indicate the amount of oil in the receiver. The water passes under a partition 16 and overflows through an adjustable stand-pipe 24. The cylinders 6 may be filled with cotton-waste or other filtering-medium.

Title: Improvements in Automatic Bobbin Changing Devices for Looms.
Inventor: ELMENDORF BERNHARD
IPC: D03D45/20
Filed: 1910-11-09
Granted: 1911-12-11
Abstract: 26,122. Elmendorf, B., and Gabler, J. Nov. 9. Shuttles, changing bobbins and the like in, automatically. - The weft - carriers are placed in the compartments 1<a>, 1<b>, 1<c>, 1<d>, Fig. 1, of a removable magazine 1 provided with eyes whereby it may be fitted on rods integral with a fixed plate 2, the projections 14<a>, 13<a>, 12<a>, Figs. 1 and 5, of locking-catches 12, 13, 14 then engaging in front of the lowest spools in the compartments 1<b>, 1<c>, 1<d>, and preventing the spools from moving down the sloping bottom 5 of the magazine. The locking - catches are normally supported in operative position by a spring-controlled slidable plate 15 provided with a recessed part 21, but are allowed to fall in succession to release the weft-carriers in the corresponding compartments by means controlled by a feeler 22 bearing against one of the weft-carriers in a fixed compartment 8. When the magazine is placed in position, a sliding door is raised by its engagement with the compartment 8, into-' which the weft - carriers then pass from the compartment 1<a>. The lowest weft - carrier is supported by an arm 10, from which it is transferred into the shuttle by a transferrer 11. When only two weft-carriers remain in the fixed compartment, the feeler 22 is projected forwards under spring action, and, when it is returned by the transferrer 11, a pin 27 engages one of the teeth 28 on the plate 15, thereby moving the plate rearwards and enabling the catch 12<a> to fall to free the weft-carriers in the compartment lb. The fallen catch then prevents movement of the plate 15 to the right, and the compartments 1<c>, 1<d> are opened subsequently in a similar manner to the compartment 1<b>. The catches 12, 13, 14 are carried on a rod 31.

Title: Improvements in or relating to Sewing Machines.
Inventor: THOMPSON WILLIAM PHILLIPS
IPC: D05B65/00
Filed: 1910-11-29
Granted: 1911-05-11
Abstract: 27,801. Thompson, W. P., [Union Special Machine Co.]. Nov. 29. Sewing-machines; chain-stitching.-A chainstitching machine is caused to form a chain of stitches uniting an article with the one sewn before it. The chain is then cut between the articles by the machine, leaving a portion attached to each. When an article has passed the needle it is fed for a time by a rear feeddog 13, acting with the main feed-dog 12, and a chain of stitches formed is kept taut thereby. The chain is locked from forward movement with the feed-dog on its return stroke by a bar 54 which participates in the usual slight rise and fall of the presser-bar due to the movement of the feed-dog. When an article is being stitched, a chain-depressing foot 17 pivoted on the presser-bar is held off the work by means of an arm fixed to it which rides on the surface of the work. When the article passes the needle, this arm falls and allows the depressing- foot 17 to rest on the chain of stitches. As soon as the article passes from the rear feed dog, the chain slackens and the depressing foot carries it down into the path of a constantly moving cutter 64. The upper feeding-plate 21 is pivoted upon a rod which telescopes into a lever arm 33. This arm is actuated from an eccentric through a rod and a slotted lever. The feeding-foot is raised when the presser foot is raised by a pin 26, which engages a lug 25 of the feeding-plate. At the same time a plate 56 engages with the bar 54 to raise it, and the bar 54 carries the depressing-foot 17 up also.

Abstract: 1475. Dawson, Sir A. T., and Buckham, G. T. Jan. 19. Ordnance breech mechanism.-Relates to percussion firing-mechanism of the kind that is actuated from a part of the mounting which does not move in elevation with the gun. According to the invention, the striker-releasing device on the gun normally lies in loose contact with the rear end of a longitudinally-moving rod on the gun cradle, or with a member actuated by the rod, which rod at its forward end is connected with a trigger on the elevating hand-wheel or lever by a system of rods and levers with loose connexions. One construction is shown in side elevation in Fig. 1, with the parts on the non-elevating part of the mounting removed. Fig. 4 is a transverse section through the cradle trunnion C and elevating-handle D, D<1>, the handle being carried by a bracket which does not move with the gun in elevation. The trigger d is connected by a link d<1Î>, sliding collar d<Î>, and lever d<2>, with a rod d<1> sliding axially in the trunnion C. At its, inner end, the rod d<1> engages with an arm e<2> on a vertical spindle E<1>, the rotation of which spindle communicates, by a second arm e<1>, a sliding motion to the longitudinal rod E, carried in bearings B<1>, B<2> on the cradle B. The rod E actuates the striker-releasing device F on the gun A. A second construction is described wherein the axis of the elevating-handle D is not coaxial with the trunnion C.

Printing-apparatus combined with weighing- apparatus.-A coin-freed apparatus comprises weighing-mechanism and also mechanism controlled and operated therefrom for issuing insurance tickets stamped with the time and date, the apparatus, however, only becoming operative if the person wishing to insure is above a certain weight. The ticket-printing mechanism is driven from a main shaft 47, which is rotated through half a revolution by a rack and pinion connected to the platform of the weighing- machine. The insurance ticket comprises two parts 52, 53, Fig. 13, adapted to be separated along a line of perforations 54, the purchaser retaining the coupon 52 and re-inserting the portion 53 in the machine after having signed it. A roll of tickets 51, Fig. 5, is mounted between spring-controlled arms 146, and the strip is led thence along a guide 55 beneath the printing-mechanism. Spring-raised platens 65 operated by arms 62<a> from a shaft 63, which is rotated by a rod 58 having a roller 60 co-operating with a cam 56 on the shaft 47, press the ticket strip against the type, the rollers being mounted with play between stops 61 so as to permit the rapid operating of the platens. Date and time printing.-The time-and-date mechanism is duplicated, and is driven from a shaft 151, Fig. 5, geared to a clock. Each mechanism comprises type disks 157 for printing the number of the day of the year, an A.M. and P.M. disk 159, a year disk 161, and a hand on an hour shaft for marking on the dials D, Fig. 13, the time at which the insurance is effected. To permit the instantaneous operation of the type disks each mechanism is controlled by an escapement lever 163, Fig. 18, which co-operates with an actuating-plate 165, Fig. 14, operated by a cam 167. A spring wound by gearing in train with the shaft 151 serves to operate the type disks.
