Title: Improvements in or relating to Pulling-over and like Machines.
Inventor: ASHTON ORRELL
Filed: 1908-08-01
Granted: 1909-07-29
Abstract: 16,337. Ashton, O. Aug. 2, 1907, [date applied for under Section 91 of Patents &c. Act, 1907]. Lasting. - In pulling- over machines having two pairs of gripping-members engaging adjacent belts of upper transversely across the last, means are provided to close and lift the pairs of jaws successively in predetermined order. The arrangement is such that one pair of grippers grips and pulls the upper to a predetermined extent before the second pair is operated to grip or strain the upper. The gripper jaws are designed to avoid marking or cutting the stock. The invention is described as applied in a pulling-over machine according to Specification No. 7005, A.D. 1900. Fig. 1 shows one of two sets of grippers, which engage the upper on opposite sides of the last, so as to strain it around the ball of the last and in the region of the toe-tip seam. The frame 2 supports levers 4 connected to gripper-actuators 6. One jaw 10 of each gripper is pivoted to the casing, the other jaw 11 being rigidly clamped between toothed edge-plates 12. The gripping-faces of the jaws 10, 11 are formed by alternate teeth and plane faces arranged so that the leather is gripped between a tooth and a plane face. The last tooth 25 on the jaw 10 is blunted to prevent scarring the upper when the grippers are withdrawn. Each gripper is operated by a controller 30 having a roller 32 which, when raised, first closes the gripperjaws on to the stock by its action on the rear of the jaw 10, and then lifts the closed gripper to stretch the upper. A cross-bar 35 is rigidly connected to the controller of the rear gripper of each pair, but is notched to provide for a certain amount of lost motion between ledges 36 on the front grippercontroller. An adjustable contact-member 39 may be provided to vary the extent of this lost motion. When the actuator 6 on each side of the last is raised, hooks depending therefrom engage each cross-bar 35 and lift it with the controller of each rear gripper to close these grippers upon the upper. After the rear belt of upper has been strained to an extent depending upon the lost motion described above, the controllers of each of the front grippers actuate these to engage the front belt of upper ; both pairs of grippers then movo in unison to complete the stretching of the upper.

Conveyers.-Relates to endless-belt apparatus for conveying and distributing cotton in cotton mills, of the kind described in Specification No. 17,301, A.D. 1905, and comprises constructional modifications in the means for discharging the same. At the points where the cotton is discharged from the belt 1 by the deflectors or gates, a plate 5 is disposed beneath the belt to support the same at a distance of about a quarter of an inch below the lower edge of the swinging gate, this distance being found to be that at which clogging is most unlikely to occur. The gates may be arranged in pairs 7, 8, arranged to discharge on one side or other of the belt, and connected by a link 11 in such a manner as to cause them to diverge when in the discharging positions. The gates are operated from a crank disk 16, the pin of which is linked by the rod 13 to the gate 8. The disk 16 may be operated from a distance by means of a cord. A spring detent is mounted in the arm 18 and serves to retain the gates in position by entering one of three recesses 19, 20, 21 formed in the underside of the disk 16. Lugs 22, 23 are also provided to engage a fixed abutment 24. In the discharging position of the gates the crank-pin 15 is slightly displaced beyond the line forming the centre of the disk to the point of connexion of the link 13 to the gate. The crank may be replaced by an eccentric.

Abstract: 13,235. Pezzer, M. de. June 5. Teaching langauges. - For teaching languages, singing, &c. with the aid of a gramophone, a band bearing a rhythmic graphic record is unwound simultaneously with the emission of the sound. A double pin-wheel e, Fig. 2, driven from the turntable spindle, engages slots in the band b, Figs. 1 and 2, and traverses it over a platform a, having guides a', from a reel c to a reel d. A style p attached to the armature q of an electro-magnet q<1> rests upon the band b and is adapted to be moved by operating a handswitch r. To record the band, the gramophone and band are started, the style p marking a line X on the band. For every separate note in sing- ing and word in speaking, the switch r is depressed and held down, thus causing the style p to move upwards slightly and then continue to mark the line parallel to the original line, giving a series of lines representing the rhythm. The actual musical notation and words with or without the musical accompaniment may be then added to the band exactly underneath the graphic representations. The band b may be traversed independently of the gramophone by means of a sliding coupling-disk g, having slots to engage pins e<1> on the pinwheel e. A pointer n indicates the position in a song at which the reproduction has at any moment arrived. Two or more styles may be used to duplicate the graphic record. In the modification shown in Fig. 10, the platform a is mounted at an angle and forms a desk. The coupling-disk g connecting the pin-wheel e with the gramophone-driving mechanism is operated by a lever g<4>. The receiving-reel d is rotated from the pin-wheel e by a cord e<5> resting on a fixed pulley d<1>, or its rotation may be stopped by sliding the cord e<5> on to a loose pulley d<2> by a lever d<3>. In another modification, the pinwheel e and the receiving-reel d are each provided with coupling - disks, which are so connected as to be simultaneously operated.

Granted: 1910-01-27
Abstract: 15,054. Hofmann, O. June 28. Casting-machines; castings ; cores moulds. - To increase output and economize heat in machines for casting fusible metal seals, toys, projectiles, &c., a number of moulds are arranged in a slide or slides reciprocating between a filling and ejecting position, the runner being arranged above the melting-pot and ejected into it after each cast, or being in the side of the pot to keep it molten. In the machine for casting seals, Figs. 1 and 11, the mould slide 3 and core slide 7 are reciprocated by a crank 27 through links and a lost-motion device 33, which causes the mould 4 to pause opposite the runner 20 while the piston 22 sends a charge of lead through the pipe 11 to fill the runner and moulds. The piston then returns, emptying the pipe 11, and remains stationary owing to the lost-motion device 32, 58 until the next charge. The slides 3, 7 are then withdrawn, the former making a shorter stroke, the catches which secure it to the slide 7 being released by stops when the moulds 4 are opposite the opening 47. The continued movement of the slide 7 withdraws the cores 12, and through the chain 45 and lever 43 operates the ejectors 46, Fig. 2. During the movement of the slides 3, 7, slides 21, 6 are withdrawn, and the runner 20 is ejected into the melting-pot 9 by the linkage shown. To ensure the cores taking up their right casting positions, they are mounted on the slide 7, as shown in Fig. 6, with an elastic backing 15. The parts 3, 6, 21, and 25 are water-cooled. To increase the output, the slide 21 may be replaced by a second mould slide ; also two sets of moulds 4 may be arranged in one mould slide and fed and ejected alternately as shown in Fig. 10. This latter arrangement is also used in a modification, Fig. 10, in which the mould slides are mounted directly against the side of the melting-pot 24, the runner 59 being thereby kept molten.
