Title: Improvements in Perambulators and the like.
Inventor: DALTON THOMAS
IPC: B62B5/04
Filed: 1911-02-24
Granted: 1912-02-26
Abstract: 4640. Dalton, T., and Smith, F. H. Feb. 24. Locking by frictional detents.- Perambulator and like brakes applied to the wheel tyres or rims, or to drums on the axles, are mounted so as to be unaffected by the oscillations of the body ; they are applied automatically when the hand is removed from the propelling-handle, and, in some cases, manually also. Fig. 1 shows one form in which the brake is pulled on by a falling lever 12 pivoted at 13 to the springs and normally held raised by a lever 19 pivoted to the side irons. The brake-operating cord 8 is wound upon a roller 18, provided with a handle and ratchet device so that the brakes may be applied manually. In place of the roller, the cord may be passed through a clip in which it is held by a cam 9, Fig. 7. The falling lever may also be held up by forming it with a handle adapted to be held with the vehicle handle. The lever 12 may be made double ended so as to slacken the cord when it falls and allow springs to apply the brakes. The cord may be led over a quadrant or roller fixed to the side irons. The brakes may be applied by a weighted lever 21, Fig. 7, normally held raised by the lever 25 pivoted to the side irons. The lever 21 is connected to the brake lever through a slotted connexion 24 so that the brakes can be applied by pulling on the cord 8. In a further form, the lever 21 in falling allows a spring to apply the brakes. The lever 21 may also push the brakes on ; or it may apply a hub brake 28, Fig. 10. The weight 27 on the lever 21 may be allowed to slide so as to increase the leverage when the lever falls. In all cases, the wheel moves away from the fulcrum of the brake lever so that the brakes cannot wedge on. According to the Provisional Specification, the cord may be connected to a revoluble handle-bar.

Title: Improvements in or relating to Indenting, Stitch-separating, Stitch-impression or like Machines.
Inventor: BOULT ALFRED JULIUS
IPC: A43D91/00
Filed: 1912-10-21
Granted: 1913-10-16
Abstract: 24,044. Boult, A. J., [United Shoe Machinery Co.]. Oct. 21. Stitch separating and indenting.-Relates to indenting, stitch-separating, stitch-impression, or like machines particularly adapted for operating on the welt or projecting upper surface of the sole of a boot or shoe. The indenting or like tool is provided with a number of substantially parallel operative blades or members adapted to be rotated about a common axis, and also capable of independent movement longitudinally of the axis from a retracted or inoperative position to a projected or operative position. In action, the blades or members are retracted while passing the overhang of the upper and are projected as they come into engagement with the welt &c., so that they work well into the crease without risk of damaging the upper. Fig. 13 shows a machine adapted particularly, but not exclusively, to serve as a stitch-separator for Goodyear welt work, the indenting members being arranged to locate themselves automatically between the stitches. The work-supporting table 70 is rotated by spur and worm gear from the main shaft 84, on the front of which is a hammering-head 86 provided with a number of rollers 88, adapted to act pereussively on the tool-holder 90 as the shaft rotates. The holder 90 is provided with a boss or barrel 98, in which is revolubly mounted the spider 104 carrying the indenting - members 130, 132. These members, as shown n Fig. 19, are of different depths, the deeper members 130 being loosely seated in recesses 107, Figs. 17 and 18, in the spider 104, and the other members bearing against the outer ends of the ribs 106 between the recesses 107. The members arc provided with lugs 136, and are projected and retracted by the engagement of these lugs with the cam groove 138, Fig. 13, in the barrel 98. The cover-plate 100 of the barrel 98 has a boss 108, which forms a journal and support for the forward end of the spider, and the lower end of the cover-plate is preferably extended, as at 142, to form a guard for the shoe upper and the tool. The holder 90 works in a guide-block 158 pivoted by a pin 160 in the machine frame, and the guide-block is oscillated by an adjustable eccentric on the hammering-head 86, to reciprocate the tool in the line of the feed. The speed of rotation of the indenting-tool is intended to be determined by the rate of feed of the work; but, if desired, a roller-clutch mechanism 122, Fig. 17, may be provided to rotate the tool at a speed preferably slightly less than, and never in excess of, the rate of feed. To locate the indenting-members approximately to the intervals between the stitches, a wheel 164 formed with teeth of a pitch approximately equal to the average length of stitch, is mounted on a spring- controlled arm so that it engages successively with the indenting members, as shown in Fig. 18; or, instead of the wheel, an equivalent toothed arm may be employed.
