Abstract: 770,181. Shoe moulding apparatus. CLARK, Ltd., C. & J. Feb. 9, 1955 [March 10, 1954], No. 6958/54. Class 87(2). A vulcanizing press for moulding a rubber sole on a shoe upper 20.is adapted for dielectric heating of the sole material 24 by connecting the base 5 of the sole mould to one pole of a high frequency electric current supply and the last 9, carrying the upper, to the other pole, whereby the rubber 24 constitutes the principal dielectric in the high frequency circuit and is there heated to vulcanizing temperature. The machine as shown is fluid operated, the mould base 5 being attached to the piston of a cylinder 8 and the last 9 suspended from a slide 10 operated from a cylinder 15. The last 9 is insulated to serve as an electrode by a block 12 of heat-resistant insulating material and the mould base 5 is insulated by a similar block 6. The sides 3 of the mould, and a base plate 25 on which they are interchangeably mounted, are also made of insulating material. The sides 3 of the moulds have each a recess 22 with an inclined wall to co-act with the bevelled edge 21 of a flat blade 18 to force in the blades as the last descends and seal the mould cavity, Fig. 3. The blades are mounted on arms 17 pivoted on axles 16 and may be held in position.by latches 23. Means (not shown) may be provided for maintaining suitable mould and last temperature by thermostatic control, such as by incorporating heating coils in the moulds and lasts or blowing cooling air over them. Pairs of electrodes may be placed at different positions so that vulcanization is effected at an equal rate throughout the material.

Abstract: 140,084. Curtiss Aeroplane & Motor Corporation, (Assignees of Curtiss, G. H.). Dec. 22, 1916, [Convention date]. Aerial machines without aerostats; planes, arrrangement and construction of.-An aeroplane has three or more planes, the adjacent planes being connected by wing-posts and the non-adjacent planes by diagonal braces passing through the intermediate plane or planes without being connected to it or them. Fig. 11 shows the general arrangement of a tri-plane wing structure, the longerons of the fuselage being shown at 39, 42. The spars of the top and bottom planes are continuous, but the inner ends of the divided spars of the central plane are secured in metal sockets on the longerons 42. The longerons 39, 42 are braced by members 40, 41 Extending from the upper ends of the braces 40, 41 are outwardly divergent members 48, 44, 45 connected to inner struts 51 in the upper plane and braced by diagonal wires 62; this arrangement gives a clear forward view to the pilot. Posts 36 with crossed braces 37 forming struts of K-form as shown are integrally connected to outer longitudinal struts 51 in the plane structures, and diagonal wires 61 extend as shown through holes 60 in the central plane, the wires connected to the longerons 39 of the fuselage each extending to the longeron on the opposite side to assist in taking the tension in the lower wing spars. The ends of the wires 61 connected to the planes are looped over the struts 51. Drift, wires 63 may extend to the front of the fuselage. The holes 60 lie to the front and rear of the front spar of the plane. Each plane is constructed of channelled or lightened spars 47, 48, Fig. 4, with lightened web strips 50, and entering and trailing edge strips 52, 53 which are connected together around the wing tips. The Specification as open to inspection under Sect. 91 (3) (a) describes a plane having rib sections 50, 49, 58, with the upper surface from the strip 52 to the spar 48 covered by veneer 54 and the lower surface between the two spars by veneer 54<1> so as to form a box girder without internal cross bracing. Metal strips 55 extend beneath the ribs and are bent over the leading and trailing edges, the rear end 56 being preferably enlarged and bent to enable it to be secured below the top capping of the rib section 58. The plane is covered with fabric. The ends of the spars are tapered and connected by V-shaped strips at the ends of the planes. This subjectmatter does not appear in the Specification as accepted.
