Title: Improvements in or relating to Machines for Attaching the Heels of Boots and Shoes.
Filed: 1908-05-28
Granted: 1909-05-27
Abstract: 11,646. Bates, A., and British United Shoe Machinery Co. May 28. Heels; nailing presses.-A hydraulic lock is used for the purpose of holding one or both of the movable clamping - members of a machine for compressing the work, or for clamping the work while nails are being driven, or for performing both operations. The device provides for operating upon work of varying thickness. Means may be employed for operating the hydraulic lock that are automatically controlled or rendered operative by the clamping of the work. The jackpost B is provided with an upwardly-extending sleeve B', which slides vertically in a fixed cylinder A'. A spring U normally sustains the jack-post. A sleeve D retained by a cap A<3> and carrying a valve-seat D<2>, is placed within the sleeve B', and is preferably self-adjusting with regard to the sleeve B'. The cavity in the jack-post contains a fluid such as oil. A valve E controlled by a lever F cooperates with the valve seat D'. A hand-lever H<1> is adapted to operate the jack-post, and is pivoted thereto at H*. The first movement of the handlever clamps the work upon the lower clamping- member A' by depressing the jack-post B. Further movement closes the hydraulic lock, and additional movement may start the compressing-mechanism and subsequently a nailing-mechanism. To effect these actions, the rear extremity of the lever is jointed at H' to a rod J, which operates the valve lever F through a yielding connexion L, and to a rod K carrying a catch engaging normally the end of a lever N. A spring N<2> governs this lever, and is arranged to outbalance the spring C. Consequently, the lever H<1> first pivots around the joint H<2> as fulcrum while the jack-post descends, and, as soon as the heel-seat is engaged, whatever the thickness of the heel, the fulcrum shifts to H* and the jomt H<2> moves upward, closing the valve E and raising the lever N, which is connected to the clutch mechanism to start the compressing- machinery and subsequently, if desired, a nailing- mechanism. A slotted link M' pivoted to the machine frame frees the rod K from the lever N as soon as the clutch has operated. The spring N<2> causes the disconnexion of the clutch after one revolution of the driving-wheel by restoring the lever N to its first position. To indicate the level of the fluid in the sleeve D and to prevent splashing, a float having a pointer projecting through the cap A<3> may be provided.

Patent GB-190823018-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in Hack Saw Machines
Filed: 1908-02-07
Granted: 1909-01-28
Abstract: 23,018. Marks, E. C. R., [Buffalo Specialty Co.]. Feb. 7. Sawing.-In reciprocating-saw machines a pin f<1>, Fig. 1, on a standard F on the machine frame, engages with a slot f<2> in the shank E<1> of the saw frame E so that the latter can rock about and reciprocate on the pin f<1>. A link K connects the crankpin j on the crank-disk J with a pin l on an arm L connected to, or integral with, the shank E<1> of the saw frame. In the driving-position the pin l is engaged by a transverse notch projecting from a longitudinal slot k in the link K, so that by raising the link K relatively to the pin l the link will be caused to. reciprocate on the piu without operating the saw. The pin l carries a double lever M provided with. handles m, Fig. 8. A lug m<1> on the lever . M projects beneath the link K so that by turning the lever M the lug m<1> is caused to raise the link K and thus throw the saw out of gear. A pin o<1>, Fig. 8, on the lever M engages with a groove p, Fig. 9, in the arm L ; the depth of the groove increases towards one end, and a recess p<1> occurs at the other end. The pin o' is always pressed into the groove by a spring o, Fig. 10, on the pin l, so that when the lever M is turned to throw the saw into or out of gear, the spring o retains it in either position. When a piece of work is finished, the saw is automatically stopped by a lug q on the standard F rocking the lever M. The saw frame may be held in a raised position, as when new work is being inserted in the clamp, by inserting a screw g, which is provided in the standard F, into a slot f<3> in the shank E<1>. By arranging the pivot pin f<1>, the arm L, and the centre of the crank-disk in the relative positions shown, and by causing the inward stroke of the saw to be the effective stroke, the saw is pressed on to its work during the cutting-stroke and its weight is taken from the work on the return stroke. A recessed jockey-weight R may be clamped in any position on the saw frame by means of a clamp r. Fig. 1 shows two saws operated by one crank-disk.

Patent GB-190828534-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in and relating to Loading Apparatus for Ordnance.
Filed: 1908-12-31
Granted: 1909-10-07
Abstract: 28,534. Soc. Schneider et Cie. Dec. 31, 1907, [date applied for under Section 91 of Patents &c. Act, 1907]. Loading - applia n c e s ; ordnance breech - mechanism. -Apparatus is provided for automatically alining with the gun, as the breech is opened, a loading-cage carry-. ing ramming-appliances. Figs. 2 and 3 show plans of the arrangement with the loading-cage in the ramming and removed positions respectively. The arm a, which has teeth 26 gearing with the breechopening mechanism and which pivotally supports the loading - cage f, has a pivot d fixed to the gun - cradle, and a parallel motion consisting of rods o, n, p, which causes the cage f to remain parallel to the gun's axis during its transverse motion from the side of the gun, where it receives the projectile from an endless-belt conveyer 3 to the gun breech. A flexible apron k attached to the cage f and to the conveyer allows the powder charges to roll into the cage. Mounted on the gun-cradle b is a motor m which operates the rammer when the cage f is in line with the gun through a shaft 12, chain drive 13, and clutch y, z, and which may also serve to open the breech when wheels 20, 21 are in gear, through worm-gearing 19, shafts 18, 17, and bevelgearing 16, 15, the last-named being directly connected with the hinge-pin of the breech-block. The shafts 17, 18 are connected by a sleeve 23, which forms a guide for the shaft 17 when the gun recoils, and which has a quick-threaded screw engaging with a second sleeve 25 which is provided with teeth 27, a rack 28, gearing with the sector 26, and a groove 29, partly semicircular and partly straight, engaging with a pin 30. During the unlocking of the breech-screw threads, the sleeve 25 can only rotate, and the arm a is not moved ; but when the breesh-screw is withdrawn and swung aside, the sleeve 25 is prevented from rotating by the straight part of the groove 29, it therefore moves forwards and rotates the arm a by means of the teeth 28. The opening of the breech also rotates a shaft 35, which causes a loading-tray 33 to be inserted into the breech to protect the threads. The breech may also be operated by hand or automatically.

Inventor: ROSE HARRY
IPC: H01H21/42
Filed: 1909-04-13
Granted: 1910-04-13
Abstract: 8692. Rose, H. April 13. Switches, quick-action.-In a quick make-andbreak switch, a switch blade 1 and a pair of quadrants or transmitting-members 13 are pivoted on the same axis 3 and coupled together by compression springs ; and the operating-handle is pivoted on a separate axis 22 and has an eccentric pin 17, engaging radial slots in the quadrants, and projections to engage positively the switch blade in the opening and closing movements. The springs are enclosed in tubes 6, the ends 8 of which are connected to pins 12 upon the quadrants; one end of each spring engages the ends 7 of the tubes, and the other ends of the springs are connected by a pin passing inside the spring to a pin upon the switch blade. In closing the switch, a roller 20, upon an extension of the handle, depresses the blade, and, at the same time, the quadrants are rocked by the pins 17 to the position shown. During this movement, the springs are compressed until the dead-centre is reached, whereupon the springs operate to produce a quick closing-movement of the blade. Final closure may be made by the roller 20. In opening, the extension 18 of the lower part of the handle engages the switch blade and institutes the opening-movement, which is completed with quick action by the spring, when the dead-centre is passed, as before. The construction may be adapted to multi-pole switches.
