Title: Improvements in Machines for Operating upon Insoles and like Articles for use in the Manufacture of Boots and Shoes.
Inventor: MERRICK FRANK WOODWARD
IPC: A43D43/06
Filed: 1914-04-07
Granted: 1914-12-31
Abstract: 8824. Merrick, F. W. April 7. Sewing ribs, forming.- Insoles are flanged by being placed upon a table above which is a pattern, and subjected successively to the action of flangeraisers, benders, crimpers and wipers. The frame 1 carries a table 2 which supports a carriage 3 reciprocated by, for example, linkages 4, 5, 7 actuated by a crank 8 and gearing 10, 11 from a driven pulley 13. The insole blank a is placed on the table and above it is placed a thin pattern or templet b, which is held in place by a stiff bar c and clamping-means 14. The flange raisers, benders, and crimpers are all connected to and operated from the carriage 3. The raisers are ploughlike devices 17 which lift the flange at the sides of the blank so that it may be engaged by the flange benders. These consist of a pair of cylindrical bending or upsetting rolls 17<f>, and of flange crimping rolls 18 of the shape shown in Fig. 1. The devices 17, 17<f> are carried at the ends of arms 17<a> pivotally connected at 17<b> to the carriage, and are drawn together by a spring 17<c>. The rolls 18 are carried by arms 18<a> pivoted to the carriage at 18<b>, and are connected together by a spring 18<c>. By the operation of these devices, the rolls 17<f> bend the margins around the pattern, while the rolls 18 press the upturned flange inwardly, bending it down around the edge of the pattern. Lifter fingers 19 having lips 19<a> are arranged close together in a second carriage 21 movable in a slot 21<x>, and have each a spring 19<b>. They are actuated by a cross-bar 3<a> on the carriage 3, engaging a dog 21<a> under the action of a spring 23. The fingers now raise the margin of the blank at the near end of the pattern. The final operation on the blank is effected by a pair of wipers 20, pivoted at 20<a> to the carriage 3, and caused to open in their rearward position by recesses 20<b> in a fixed cross-bar 1<a> and inwardly in their forward movement by adjustablymounted cams 20<e>. When the resistance to the forward movement of the carriage 21 exceeds the tension of the spring 23, this yields, and the dog turns to allow the cross-bar 3<a> to continue its advance and carry the wipers forward. This movement results in the flange being pressed down firmly upon the upper side of the pattern. The wipers remain in engagement with the wiped-down flange while the carriage moves backwards.

Title: Improvements in or relating to Releasing Devices for the Sound Reprducing Mechanisms of Talking Clocks and Alarms.
Inventor: MARCUS MAX
IPC: G04B21/00
Filed: 1914-05-30
Granted: 1915-08-05
Abstract: 13,329. Marcus, M. May 30. Alarm mechanism.-In a clock which automatically releases the driving-mechanism of a talking- machine, in order to sound an alarm or the like, a lever which normally acts as a detent for the driving-train engages with two spring-connected members on an arbor of the clock train. The arrangement is such that when, after the release of the driving-gear of the talking-machine, the detent is moved back by hand into its locking position, the releasing device is automatically reset so that the driving-mechanism is freed again after the lapse of a predetermined interval without further manipulation. In the arrangement shown in Fig. 2, the end m of a spring lever, which normally engages with a projection q on the driving-spindle n of the talking-machine, is drawn by a spring l against a releasing-device consisting of two concentric sleeves f, g, Fig. 4<a>. The sleeve f is fixed upon, and the sleeve g connected by a coiled spring i to a pipe c frictionally driven by an arbor b which is geared to the clock hands. As the sieeves f, g rotate, the projecting edge of the inner sleeve encounters the part m and is pushed aside thereby, so that the part m drops into a notch e in the outer sleeve and releases the talking-machine. If the detent m is then moved back by hand to stop the talking-machine, the sleeve g at once springs into the position in which it covers the notch e. In a modification, the concentric sleeves f, g are replaced by parallel cam-disks mounted on the pipe c in a similar manner to the sleeves. The time at which the release occurs may be determined by adjusting a graduated dial d on the sleeve c with respect to a pointer b<1> on the arbor b.
