Patent GB-190921000-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in or relating to Pulling-over and like Machines.
Inventor: BOULT ALFRED JULIUS
IPC: A43D13/00
Filed: 1909-09-14
Granted: 1910-09-08
Abstract: 21,000. Boult, A. J., [United Shoe Machinery Co.]. Sept. 14. Lasting &c.-In a pulling-over machine, means are provided to operate the grippers on each side of the upper simultaneously, either to relieve the tension on the upper, or to open the grippers, principally to facilitate the adjustment of the toetip seam. The invention is described as applied to a pulling-over machine of the type described in Specification 7005/00. A treadle 40 operates two slotted slides 44 (through an equalizing-lever, if desired) which engage pins 45 projecting from the rear ends of the side-gripper levers 14, 16. By depressing the treadle, the grippers may consequently be depressed either to relieve the upperstretching tension to any desired extent, or to open the grippers to enable the upper and grippers to be relatively adjusted for a new grip. Additional stretching may be given to the upper by repeatedly lessening the tension in this manner and allowing the springs 10 to re-stretch the upper. The arrangement leaves the hands free for other operations, and, if the shoe has been improperly presented to the machine, it may be removed without driving tacks by depressing the toe-gripper lever after the side-grippers have been opened as described. By coupling to the treadle a further slotted slide 44 arranged to act similarly upon the toe-gripper lever, this gripper may also be operated upon, and the slots in the slides may be so arranged as to operate upon the grippers in any desired order.

Abstract: 12,774. Lane, C. J., and Birts, C. J. T. May 26. Kinematograph apparatus. - An electrical device for imparting intermittent movement to the film, and having as its object to reduce the period of motion so that a shutter need not be used, is described. In the form shown in Figs. 2 and 3, a ratchet-wheel d<2> is mounted on the end of the shaft d, which carries the sprocketroller for feeding the film. The wheel d<2> is driven by a pawl d<3> carried by the wheel d<4>, which is driven by the wheel e attached to the rocking armature f of an electro-motor g. A wheel j, attached to the shaft k which is rotated by the handle of the apparatus, carries a number of projecting sectors j<1> of insulating-material which pass successively between a pair of spring contact-pieces i forming part of the armature circuit. The circuit being thus alternately made and broken, the armature oscillates, and an intermittent rotation is imparted to the sprocketroller. In order to limit the motion of the armature, stops m, m<1> are provided which act on a sector l rotating with it; the stop m is keyed upon the spindle d, and the stop m<1> is mounted on a spindle m<2> carrying a pinion m<3> driven by the wheel e; attached to this pinion is a pawl m<4> engaging the ratchet-wheel m<5> keyed upon the spindle m<2>. These two ratchet devices are arranged so as to work in opposite directions. In the modification shown in Figs. 9, 10, 11, and 12, an ordinary Maltese-cross feed is employed, of which the tappet disk n<1> is keyed to the spindle n<2>, which carries a pair of ratchetwheels o, p operated by pawls o', p<1>. The pawls are carried by bevel-wheels q, q<1> operated by a bevel-wheel r mounted on a spindle r<1> carrying a pinion r<2>. The pinion engages with a rack r<3>, which forms the extension of the core s of a solenoid having two opposed windings t, t<1>, which are intermittently excited by means of two pairs of spring arms v, v and a rotating wheel carrying insulating-sectors j<1> as before. The core s receives a reciprocating motion, and the tappet disk n<1> is consequently rotated intermittently.
