Title: Improvements in or relating to Machines used for Inserting Nails or Fasteners into Boots or Shoes.
IPC: A43D79/00
Filed: 1909-11-01
Granted: 1910-11-01
Abstract: 22,514. Jerram, A. E., Gouldbourn, J., Bates, A., and British United Shoe Machinery Co. Nov. 1, 1909. Loose-nailing.-A heel-nailing or heel-attaching machine has nail-driving mechanism which positively actuates the driver to deliver two blows of definite extent to the nails. The naildrivers are operated by a plunger C connected through a toggle C<1>, C<2> with a second plunger C<3>. The toggle C', C<2> is moved to its bent position on both sides by a link C' operated by a crank-pin on a power shaft N. The lower plunger C<3> normally is free to move in its bearing, and the toggle straightens and breaks idly. The work is held between two members A, B, the upper of which is formed as a plunger engaged by a lever E moving about a pivot D<2>. The lever E, which is operated by a ram F<1> in a cylinder F, is connected by a pin E<2> to a hand-lever G yieldingly pivoted at D<2>. On pressing down the hand-lever, the two levers G, E move together until the plunger A presses against the work, thus preventing further movement of the lever E. The lever G then begins to turn about the pin E<2>, compressing a spring H<1> by which it is yieldingly held to the pivot D<2>. A rod Q<4>, mounted on a lug G<2> extending from the lever G below the pivot D<2>, is thus moved to trip a spring pawl and allow a detent P<3> to enter a recess in a clutch bolt P. The clutch bolt P carries the pivot K<6> for a lever K<5>, one end of which is connected to a link C<11> for operating the mechanism to throw in a stop below the plunger C<3>, while the other end carries a cam roll engaging a cam on the power shaft. Normally, the lever K<5> moves about its point of connexion with the link C<11>, but, when the detent is thrown in, the bolt P is held stationary, and the link C<11> is moved, operating a lever C<9>, which, through a spring connexion, throws a stop under the plunger C<3>, and thus causes the nail-driving plunger C to be operated. The plunger C is reciprocated twice for one reciprocation of the link C<6>. After one revolution of the power shaft, the detent is automatically reset by a pin on the cam-disk. The end of the rod Q<4>, which is pivoted to the main part, is moved to one side by the movement of the detent P<3> in clutching the bolt P. On raising the lever G, a projection Q<9> at the end of the rod Q<4> is engaged by the end of a rod Q<10> projecting from a slide Q<3> moved from the lever G by links Q, Q<1>. The trip for the detent is thus reset. The lever K<5> is also connected by a link K<4> with a valve for admitting liquid to a cylinder for compressing the heel.

Title: Improvements in Coin Controlled Mechanism for Governing the Supply of Gas, or Electricity.
IPC: G07F15/02
Filed: 1910-10-29
Granted: 1911-09-21
Abstract: 25,172. Glover, A. W., and Glover & Co., G. Oct. 29. Gas and electricity, supplying by meter.- After prepayment, the operator rotates a barrel 2 in the counter-clockwise direction, thereby winding-up the mainspring of clock-work mechanism through a clutch 5, 7, and setting forward a wheel 27 so as to remove a pin 28 from lever 26, 30. The lever 30 thereupon turns under the action of a spring 31 to bring the arm 24<1> of a bell-crank 24 in the path of an arm 23 on the barrel. The operator next rotates the barrel in the clockwise direction, whereupon the arm 23 rocks the bell-crank 24 and throws over a spring-controlled arm 21 into locking engagement with a notch 25 on the lever 26, thereby opening the valve or closing the switch. This movement of the arm 21 permits a spindle 37, which is connected to the arm by a rod 33 working through a lug 34, to turn under the action of a spring 40 and withdraw a spring 39 from the balance-wheel of the clock-work, the spring flicking the balance in its passage and starting the clock. The rod 33 is provided with a projection 41, which normally bears against a lug 43 on the detent 26, as. shown in Fig. 4, but when the arm 21 is moved into engagement with the detent, the projection escapes through a notch 44 in the lug, as shown in Fig. 2. The clockwork gradually returns the wheel 27, the pin 28 finally raising the lever 30 and tripping the detent 23 permitting the spring 22 to restore the arm 21, thereby cutting off the supply and stopping the clock. The supply can be cut off at any time before the return of the pin 28 by rotating the barrel 2 in the counter-clockwise direction, the arm 23 engaging a shoulder 32 and tripping the detent 26. Coin-slit closing devices.-When the maximum number of coins has been inserted, the pin 28 turns a lever 51 to close the coin-slot. Coin action, mechanical-connexion.-A coin inserted into a slot 4 in a barrel 3 rests on a guide-plate 11, and during the rotation of the barrel, rides up a cam-surface 15 and throws the clutch member 5 into engagement with the member 7. To allow for changes in the price of. gas, the position of the cam-surface 15 relatively to the initial position of the .slot 4 may be varied, the plate 11 being adjustably secured to a base 12 by means of a screw 13 passing through one of a series of concentric holes.

Abstract: 22,424. Jagenberg, E. Oct. 2. Machines for folding in the covering-strips of boxes &c. The box is made on a plunger 41, Fig. 4, and a paper strip 42 is wrapped around it by the rotation of the plunger,. which then carries it into a matrix consisting of movable sides 1 and presses it against spring abutments 30. Theplunger recedes, leaving a plate 43 behind, and side folders 3 are advanced slightly to turn in the paper strip and grip the box, after which the plate 43 recedes. The folders 3 are disposed in pairs on the front and back of the matrix sides 1, each pair being connected by an arm 4, Fig. 1, carried by a slide. The slides are provided with rollers engaging cam-grooves in a disk mounted behind the plate 2, and the aforesaid movement of the side folders is effected by a rack 10 which engages a segment on the disk. The matrix is then moved to the right by a rod 14, and the segment rolls on the rack, which is then stationary, and all the folders move first inwards to fold down the paper strip and then outwards, stopping before they reach their outermost position, so that they still grip the strip and box. When the matrix reaches its right-hand position, a pressing-die 44, Fig. 7, enters the box, a plate 21 presses on the box bottom, and the folders are completely withdrawn, the arms 4 acting through levers 17 on spring-mounted plates 18 to cause the sides of the matrix to press against the box sides. The die 44 then retires and the plate 21 ejects the box.
