Patent GB-190930517-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in or relating to Machines for Feather Edging Soles.
Inventor: BOULT ALFRED JULIUS
IPC: A43D8/34
Filed: 1909-12-30
Granted: 1911-01-30
Abstract: 30,517. Boult, A. J., [United Shoe Machinery Co.]. Dec. 30. Bevelling, skiving, &c. ; trimming surfaces.-Relates to machines for featheredging soles, and particularly to the work - controlling devices thereof. Such devices are movable to determine the width of cut and admit angular adjustment for the purpose of varying the angle of scarf. The adjustments also render the machine capable of use for fleshing and shank reducing purposes. A combined face-guide 42 and edge - gauge 44 is mounted in and adapted to be adjusted longitudinally in an arm of a carrier 66 pivoted at 64 to the depending portion of a split bearing 56 adapted to be adjusted axially and angularly on a stud 46, to which it is finally clamped by a lever 58. The stud 46 may be adjusted longitudinally in a bearing 48 by a screw 52 which works in the bearing and is provided with a collar 54 engaging a slot in the stud. The inclination of the carrier 66 to the rotary cutter 10 is effected by adjustment of a rod 62 which passes through a loose stud 72, and is clamped in position by a screw 74. The edge-gauge 44 is provided with a lip 90, Fig. 6, for retaining the work on its support, and is loosely carried by a screw 82, which serves as means for adjusting the gauge to meet the requirements of work of varying thicknesses. Suitable means for locking the edge-gauge in its adjusted position are described. The rotary cutter may comprise knives 20, which are detachably mounted in an inclined position in a cutter head and project through slits in the same, constituting a frustum-shaped cutterhead of the character shown in Fig. 1. The knives are arranged other than radially with respect to the axis of rotation of the cutter head. The outer extremity of each cutting-edge is rounded and adapted to receive adjacent thereto an adjustable guard 26, which by engagement with the work, prevents the knives from cutting too deeply at the neriphery of the cutter head. In a modification, the face-guide 110, Fig. 8, is adjustably mounted on a carrier 107 mounted for angular adjustment in a curved guide 105, which is adjustably carried by the enlarged end 101 of the shaft 100. For the purpose of varying the width of cut, the guide 105 is adjusted relatively to the member 101, thereby securing a lateral adjustment of the face-guide 110 and of the projecting gauge portion 108 of the carrier 107. The shaft 100 is adjustably mounted in bearings as in the former construction.

Abstract: 1680. Moss, W. E. Jan. 22. Hunting-gear.-In a steering-engine of the type described in Specification 21,694/06 steam is distributed to the two cylinders by a single rotating cylindrical valve 1 in combination with the hand-operated controlling-valve 22. The valve 22 is operated through a bell-crank 28 from a spindle 29 on which there is a thread 32 engaging a pinion 33 driven by the hub of a bevel-wheel 34, which is driven from the crankshaft. The sleeve 30, rotated by the hand steering-wheel, engages the spindle 29 by a key and drives it forward or backwards, the spindle being returned by the rotation of the pinion 33.

Title: A Method of and Apparatus for Signalling by Light.
Inventor: ZWICKY JEAN
IPC: G08B5/40
Filed: 1910-04-01
Granted: 1911-04-03
Abstract: 7928. Zwicky, J., Schwartz, Y., and Denholm, R. April 1. Magnesium and like powder lamps. - Flash signals are produced by an apparatus in which chambers are brought alternately into position to be filled with magnesium powder &c. and to have their contents ejected into a flame by puffs of air from an automatically-operated pump. The powder is supplied from a cylindrical container 2 through an incomplete annular opening 46 to a radially-chambered annular carrier 13, which is rotatable between the outer casing and a central chamber 16. The chamber 16 has an opening opposite an internal nozzle 19 connected to a pump 50. At each rotation of a disk 40, by hand or clockwork, the carrier 13 is rotated, through wormgearing 24, 23 and a hollow shaft 22, to bring a fresh chamber of powder in front of the nozzle 19. At the same time an arm 57 engages a lever 56 linked to the piston-rod 53, first lifting it against a spring 58 and then releasing it, allowing the piston to descend and drive a puff of air through the nozzle 19. A charge of powder is thus ejected into the flame of a ring burner fed from a liquid-fuel reservoir 7, and a flash is produced. A valve 21 in the main powder-outlet is opened at the right moment as follows. A lever 31, pivoted at one end to a crank 32 and at the other end to the valve rod 30, is moved to the left by a projection on the disk 40 and then released and returned by a spring. The gearing of the parts is such that in its motion to the left a tooth 44 on the lever 31 passes freely between cam-teeth formed on the top of the worm-wheel 23, but, on the return motion, the tooth 44 is obliged to ride up over a tooth of the wheel 23, and the lever 31 lifts the valve-rod 30. The chambers may be of different sizes. Two chambers, one large and the other small, may be reciprocated under control of a handle for producing signals of Morse type. The powder employed should preferably be such as to give rays of small wave-length. According to the Provisional Specification there may be, instead of the automatically-operated pump, a reservoir of compressed air connected to the nozzle 19 through a valve operated by the lever 31, and the apparatus as a whole may be carried by a spring-pressed ball-grip device so that it can be inclined in any direction.

Abstract: 15,221. Westfelt, A. U. July 9, 1909, [Convention date]. Coins, separating and sorting.-In coin-sorting apparatus having a doubly-inclined plane provided with running lists and coin apertures successively increasing in size, additional apertures are provided between the feed-channel and the coin apertures for allowing disordered coins to fall into a common compartment. The plane a provided with lists d and apertures g is arranged above a box b provided with a number of compartments f . The coins are fed down a shoot h and enter behind a plate j, from whence they pass down the upper list past apertures k, through which disordered coins fall into a compartment of the box b the walls l<1> of which extend above the plane. Each list has two corresponding apertures k, one broad and one narrow. The coins which immediately pass off the first list are engaged by a spring m and directed on to a shoulder on the second list, a similar spring v directing coins on to the third. The lists at their upper ends are narrower than the thinnest coin so that two coins cannot run abreast thereon. The sides of the coin apertures g are oblique, while the compartments f are provided with removable boxes or vertically-movable doors. The Specification as open to inspection under Section 91 (3) (a), comprises also narrow slots in the plane just above the lists and under the apertures g for the purpose of preventing the collection of dust &c. on the lists. This subject-matter does not appear in the Specification as accepted.
