Title: Improvements in or relating to Apparatus for Securing Uppers in Overworked Position upon Lasts by Means of Binders of Continuous Material.
Inventor: BOULT ALFRED JULIUS
IPC: A43D19/00
Filed: 1912-07-17
Granted: 1913-07-17
Abstract: 16,711. Boult, A. J., [United Shoe Machinery Co.]. July 17. Lasting.-Consists of a hand-tool for applying and securing binders of continuous material. Preferably, the binder is secured by wrapping it around the projecting portion of a tack, which may be inserted by the tool, the binder-wrapping means being set in operation by the tack-driving means. Fig. 2 shows the invention applied to a known form of hand tacker. Mounted within the cylindrical driver - guide 1 is a sleeve 20 having a slot 22 engaging a roller stud on the driver plunger 6, the lower portion of the slot being oblique or spiral, so that the plunger, near the end of its descent, gives a partial rotation to the sleeve. A bowed arm 25 on the sleeve 20 carries a ring 26, which is toothed on its inner face to gear with a pinion 28 on the wire-twisting sleeve 30 surrounding the tacking-nozzle 12. The wire is drawn from the holder 48 through a tensioning-device 36 on the arm 25, and is engaged with the finger 35 on the sleeve 30. The tacker may be used in the ordinary way to insert the lasting-tacks, as well as an anchor tack for the free end of the binder. The free end of the binder may be secured to this anchor tack by the operator using the tacker in the way hand pincers are used for the purpose, after which the tool is moved around the toe of the shoe to apply the binder. When the desired position on the other side of the toe is reached, the wire is pulled tight by the tacker, and then, with the nozzle 12 resting on the shoe, the second anchoring-tack is driven in by operating the plunger 6. Towards the end of its descent, the plunger, through the members 20, 25, 26, 28, causes the sleeve 30 and finger 35 to rotate around the nozzle 12, and thereby wraps the wire around the tack just driven. The lower end of the sleeve 30 is bevelled at 40, Fig. 3, so that, on the rotation of the sleeve, the wire is automatically crowded down towards the shoe. The rotation of the sleeve also carries the wire between the cutting-jaws 38, Fig. 3, which are pivoted on different centres, as shown, so that the pressure on the wire into the angle between them turns them towards each other in a direction to sever the wire.

Granted: 1913-02-06
Abstract: 18,535. Triou, A. Aug. 25, 1911, [Convention date]. Grips, sliding wedge and roller type.-A cap for a lubricator or a plug for tanks &c. is secured by a ball-and-cone jamming - device, capable of being released from the outside without actual access to the locking - parts. The lubricator cap b, Fig. 2, has a stem f, which can be pushed into a cone c but is gripped, to prevent its withdrawal, by a series of balls d wedging between the stem and a conical surface. To release the grip it is necessary to depress the cone c against a spring e; this is effected by screwing the upper end g of the cone into a threaded opening h, projections i on the inside of the cap serving as a screwdriver. Fig. 5 shows a modification in which the cone c is depressed by a projection i<1> on the stem engaging a shoulder j<1>. A catch h<1> springs over the upper edge g<1> of the cone to hold it while the stem is withdrawn. The projection i<1>, in passing out of the cone c, presses back the catch h<1>, and the cone then resumes its normal position. The stem f is preferably formed with fine circular corrugations.

Granted: 1913-11-20
Abstract: 19,198. Prescott, T. Aug. 25. Casting processes,-Compound metal articles are produced by uniting layers of metals or alloys having different melting-points, namely a molten layer and one or more solid layers, by passing heat from the molten layer through an intermediate layer having a higher melting-point than that of the molten layer, the intermediate layer being tinned, to the solid layer which is of lower melting- point than either of the aforesaid two layers, in such manner that the tin of the intermediate layer serves as a flux for uniting the solid layer to the intermediate layer and the molten layer on cooling forms a part of the finished article. The solid layer need not be entirely melted during the process. In the case of tubes, the operation is performed in a vertical mould, the solid tube being placed in a mandrel or rammed with sand. The sheet-metal intermediate tube may have a seamed joint.

Abstract: 11,446. Martin, M. May 8. Coupliatgs, automatic; buffers; draw-gear.- An automatic car coupling, shown in plan in Fig. 2, is employed in combination with brake and steam pipe couplings shown in Fig. 5. The car coupling comprises cam-shaped hooks 1 engaging vertical pivot pins 2 under the action of springs 4 which pull upon tail-pieces on the hooks. The pivot pins 2 are at the end of draw-bar frames 7 which slide under the action of draw-springs 9. The couplings are disengaged by means of hand-levers 6 and connexions 5. The coupling is enclosed in spring-pressed collapsible canvas casings 15 with antifriction rollers on their meeting faces. Hooks for engagement with the ordinary non-automatic coupling-chain are provided either at the lower ends of the pivot pins 2 or on draw-bars above the automatic coupling. Antifriction rollers may be provided in the mouths of the hooks 2 to enable them to slide freely in a vertical direction on the pivot pins. The pipe joint shown in Fig. 5 comprises spigot and socket ends, each fitted with a spring-pressed ball valve 31 which is opened when the two projecting stems 32 meet each other.

Abstract: 16,290. Ziegler, L. July 9, 1913, [Convention date]. Regulating.-Relates to valve-gear for mixedpressure turbines driven by exhaust steam supplemented as required by live steam. The inletvalves 5 6 for the live-steam and exhaust-steam stages 1, 2 are controlled by a speed-governor 3 and a pressure governor 4, the latter being so influenced by the amount of the exhaust steam and by the load on the exhaust-steam stage 2 that, in the event of an increase in the amount of available exhaust steam, the admission of live steam can be diminished only so long as the exhaust-steam stage is not under full load. This result is obtained by the counter-movements of two pistons 7, 8 in the pressure-governor, each exposed on its left-hand side to the pressure of the exhaust-steam supply through a pipe 10. On the right-hand side, the piston 7 is subject to a constant pressure, for instance the atmosphere, while the piston 8 is exposed to a pressure dependent on the load of the exhaust-steam stage 2, for instance the pressure derived through a pipe 9 leading from the rear of the valve 6. Suitably-adjusted springs tend to force both pistons to the left.
