Title: Improvements in Machines for Figuring and Hot-pressing Hides and Skins.
IPC: C14B1/56
Filed: 1911-10-30
Granted: 1912-06-13
Abstract: 24,013. Rheinische Maschinen-Und-Apparatebau-Anstalt P. Dinckels & Sohn Ges. Oct. 29, 1910, [Convention date.] Rolling. - The carriage of a machine for figuring or hot-pressing hides and skins carries on each side a vertically - mounted roller which is pressed by springs to co-operate with a vertical pressplate through the medium of a movable underlay sheet. The machine is shown in side elevation and transverse section in Figs. 1 and 3, and in part plan view in Fig. 2. The carriage c is reciprocated by the screw e and supports the verticallymounted rollers d, which are pressed outwards on to the detachable grain-plates b of the pressboxes a, which are adapted for heating. The underlays f are so mounted as to leave a free space between them and the press-boxes when the rollers leave the boxes, so that the skins may be quickly inserted or removed. This is effected by mounting the underlays on toggleframes r, i, which are pushed upwards by levers h and counterweights k as long as the rollers engage the press-boxes, and are retracted at the ends of the stroke by the engagement with the levers h of a block g attached to the carriage.

Title: Improvements in and connected with Apparatus for Electro-plating.
Inventor: LEE GEORGE PHILIP MALCOLM
IPC: B65G49/04
Filed: 1913-01-13
Granted: 1914-01-13
Abstract: 13,747. Lee, G. P. M., and Brame, W. A. Jan. 13, 1913. Endless-chain conveyers and elevators with articles hung on hooks, rods, and the like; guiding endless chains.-In apparatus for electroplating, the articles are carried through the vats by means of conveyers arranged above the liquid, and running on opposite sides of the vat. They may be transferred from one vat to another by an inclined conveyer which may run more quickly than the first. A simultaneous rotary movement may, during plating, be imparted to the articles. In the arrangement shown in Fig. 1, the articles are hung from transverse bars d, resting in forks attached to endless chains running along girders or angleirons secured to the walls of the vat. Each fork c<3>, Fig. 3, may be attached to a plate c* projecting from one of the chain links. To the same projection may be secured a yoke provided with rollers c<5> and with long arms c<6> to bear on the girders and prevent overturning when the chain is slack. In a modification, the crossbars are supported at their ends by rollers running on rails, and are propelled by arms on a single centrally-arranged chain. Such arms may be forked so as to keep the cross-bars at right-angles to the length of the tank, and may have projections to rest on the cross-bars and support the chain; the arms are preferably hinged to the chain, on which are stops preventing the arms from swinging too far when the chain passes over the chain-wheels. On the transferring-conveyer are one or more carriages, each having four wheels, two of which are mounted in brackets serving also to attach the side frames of the carriage to wings on a chain link. The cross-bars d, Fig. 1, are held in square recesses in these side frames, one side of each recess being formed by a spring-urged arm f to allow entrance of the cross-bar d. As a carriage descends, a stop depresses the arms f to release the cross-bars, or a part of the runway projects outwards for the same purpose and is extended to support the cross-bars until these are picked up by the cradle of the next conveyer or removed by hand. Rotation of the work may be effected by means of bevel-wheels p, Fig. 15, on a supporting-hook and cross-bar, when the cross-bar itself rotates. A device for producing rotation alternately in opposite directions consists of a rack-bar k<4>, Fig. 16, moved by a stationary serrated cam surface b<3> and a spring, and gearing with a pinion on the hook. Other devices for the same purpose comprise wheels engaging racks alternately on opposite sides, or comprise pulleys and cords attached to a reciprocating part.

Title: An Apparatus for Lifting Boots and Shoes from their Lasts.
Inventor: STEIN ANTON
IPC: A43D3/10
Filed: 1912-09-18
Granted: 1913-08-21
Abstract: 21,286. Stein, A., and Parmentier, G. March 15, [Convention date]. Removing boots or shoes from lasts. - An apparatus for use in lifting boots or shoes from their lasts has an expansible last-pin 1, which grips and holds the last firmly during any upward pull on the last, and two bars or blades 10, 11, which are forced upwards between the boot &c. and the last, after the manner of shoe-horns, and so remove the boot &c. from the last. The lastpin consists of two or more pivoted pincer-like arms, the lower ends of which are connected by toggle-links 6, 7 to a fixed stud. The pivot 8, on which the arms are capable of an opening and closing movement, is connected by rods 9 &c. to a treadle. On the depression of the treadle, the pivot 8 is lowered, and the arms of the last - pin are closed, to enable the last to be placed on it. On release of the treadle, it is raised by a spring, and the arms of the last-pin are distended by the spring 5<1> to grip the last. The upward force applied to the last in removing the boot &c., tends to raise the pivot 8 higher, and so acts to cause the last-pin to grip the last more firmly. To avoid binding or tilting of the last, the last-pin is formed with a bearing-shoulder on which a plane face of the last rests. The blades 10, 11 are connected by a yoke 14 &c. to a second treadle, by the operation of which they are forced upwards to remove the boot &c. The blades are adjustable to different sizes of lasts, and for this purpose they are provided with fingers 15, which are caused by the pull of a spring 13 to bear against two parallel bars 16, these bars being capable of adjustment towards or away from each other by a right and left handed screw spindle 19 engaging nuts 17 on the bars. An adjustable stop is provided to limit the upward movement of the blades. The operative parts are mounted on the coverplate 20, which is removably attached to the hollow standard 23, to facilitate access to the parts.

Abstract: 4162. Golby, F. W., [representative of Haug, L.]. Feb. 26, 1912, [Convention date]. Lever actuated pumps; stroke, varying.-Fuelsupply pumps arranged in proximity to the admission valves of an internal-combustion engine are actuated by levers connected to the valveoperating levers so that the valves and pumps operate in unison, the quantity of fuel supplied being regulated by means of slidable fulcra for the pump levers. The arrangement is such that the fuel valves cm be supplied with fuel when the engine is at rest by actuation of the stroke varying lever. In the two-cycle double - acting engine shown in Fig. 1, the valve spindles 8 are operated through bell-crank levers 9 and links 10 from a cam shaft 12, and the pump plungers 18 are operated by levers 17 linked up to the ends of the bell-cranks 9. The fulcra 21 of the levers 17 are carried by pivoted arms 22, and are adjusted in position by means of links 23 and bell-crank levers 24, 25 from a handle 28. The valves and pumps can be thrown out of action by the displacement of the levers 10 as shown in dotted lines, and when the engine is at rest the pumps can be operated slightly by actuating the handle 28 so as to impart an oscillating movement to the arms 22. The stroke of the pumps may be regulated automatically by a governor connected to the handle 28.

Granted: 1914-05-28
Abstract: 18,752. Maschinenfabrik Moenus Akt.-Ges. Aug. 23, 1912, [Convention date]. Surface areas, computing. - In machines for measuring the area of leather &c., by summing the rotations of co-axial adjacent measuring- wheels, the wheels and associated toothed sectors, which are usually raised and lowered, respectively, to co-operate with each other through pinions attached to the measuring-wheels, are so arranged that no matter what the thickness of the material being measured may be, the teeth of the pinions and the sectors are engaged practically to the same extent. Special provision is made to prevent excessive engagement. The upward movement of the measuring- wheels 1, due to the passage between them and a roller 2 of the leather, is transmitted through a magnifying system of levers 4, 8, 11, 10, so that the right-hand arm 10 of the counterbalanced lever 11, 10 falls appreciably for a slight movement of the measuring-wheels. This fall of the arm 10 allows the arm 13 of a lever 15, 13 carrying the toothed sectors 7 to fall also, the two levers being normally separated by an adjustable screw or stop 16. A fall of the arms 13 to an extent beyond that necessary to ensure a proper engagement of the sectors 7 and pinions 6 is, however prevented by forked arms 17 attached to the lever or levers 4 and adapted to engage studs 18 on the levers 15, 13.
