Title: An Improved Loose Fastener Inserting or Nailing Machine, for use in the Manufacture of Boots, Shoes, and the like.
Inventor: THOMPSON WILLIAM PHILLIPS
IPC: A43D69/02
Filed: 1912-04-04
Granted: 1913-04-03
Abstract: 8213. Thompson, W. P., [Champion Shoe Machinery Co.]. April 4. Loose-nailing.-In a loose-nailing machine in which the work is normally fed by an awl, the fastener raceway 30 is connected to and made movable with the throat 31. The throat 31, Figs. 1 and 11, is pivoted to a link 35 hanging from a pivot 36 on the machine frame and normally pressed against an adjustable stop 40 by a spring- pressed plug 39. The raceway 30, which is fitted with a guide 32 for the nail-separator, extends into and is loaded from a hopper 42, misplaced n a i l s being removed by a spring 49 as the raceway moves. The throat and the raceway are oscillated about the pivot 36 bv the awl-carrier 56 striking the end of the throat in its movement into position under the driver. After the awl has been withdrawn, the throat is moved back by the spring plug 39 and a cam-actuated lever 75. The awl-carrier 56 is in the form of a bell-crank lever mounted on the frame and adapted to move laterally along its pivot. It is normally pressed outwards against a stop 91 by a spring, the limit of its position being adjustable by a screw 98. The other arm 60 of the awl-carrier is provided with a block 61 engaged by a fork 62 on a lever 63 pivoted on the machine frame and operated by a cam 64 on a driving-shaft 22. The movement, due to the cam, causes the awl to penetrate the sole. The block 61 is slidably mounted on a pin 85, Fig. 4, secured to the arm 60. The block can be moved along the pin into or out of engagement with the fork 62, being held in adjusted position by a spring-pressed pin 86. When the block is out of engagement with the fork, the lever 63 moves idly, and the awl does not penetrate the work, the awl being retained in its raised position by a spring 114. The feedmotion of the awl is obtained from a cam 66 operating on a lever 65, which is provided with a fork 90, 91 forming the stop for the spring- actuated outward movement of the awl-carrier. The movement of the lever about its pivot causes the awl-carrier to be pushed inwards along its pivot, thus carrying the awl under the driver and feeding the work. The position of the lever 65 after the rise of the cam has passed is controlled by a screw 69 provided with a spring for taking up back-lash. The feed is stopped, while the awl still operates to pierce the work, by turning back the arm 91 of the fork 90, 91. The awl-carrier is pushed outwards by its spring, but the movement is checked by a stop before the carrier comes into operative engagement with the outer member of the fork. The machine may be provided with one only of the means for stopping the work feed. A work gauge 106 adjustable by a rack and pinion in a bracket 108 has its supporting-bracket pivoted at 109 to permit the work gauge to be swung out of the way when the machine is operating on the middle of a sole.

Abstract: 9726. Borgatta, F., and Lunardi, G. April 24. Wind-vanes; anemometers. - In instruments in which the recording-mechanism can swing as a whole round a central pivot under the action of the vane 1, a counterbalanced cup-shaped disk 13 is the element which moves under the influence of the wind to record and indicate its velocity. Motion is transmitted from this disk by means of linkages 17, 22, 23 to a member 24, Fig. 2, from which depends a rod carrying a recording-pen 32 which, as the indicating-strip unrolls from the drum 7, Fig. 1, on to the cylinder 46, makes a record on it of the wind-pressure. At the same time a rod 15 operated directly from the link 17 indicates the velocity on a scale 16, and also a marker 43, attached to an arm 41 engaging at its upper end in a spiral 40 in a clockwork-driven drum 12, gives a time record. A compass-needle 53 is fitted to the instrument to facilitate the reading of the wind-direction.

Abstract: 15,125. Berkel, W. A. van. July 17, 1911, [Convention date]. Cutting slices in succession.-In a meat-slicing machine, the meat-carrier is fed towards the knife at each stroke by means of a pawl a carried by a lever h, the end i of which is always in engagement with a curved slide k. The meat carrier is provided with a nut which engages a screw rotated by the pawl a acting on a ratchet-wheel b. The lever h is pivoted on the reciprocating carriage m and its free end i carries a roller which runs in a slot k in a stationary bracket l, the slot being curved downwards at one end. The extent of the feed is regulated in known manner by masking some of the ratchet teeth by a curved plate d, which is adjusted by a rod e and locked by a pin engaging a rack g.
