Title: Improvements in or relating to Tack Pulling, Lifting and Driving Machines for use on Lasted Shoes.
Filed: 1908-06-16
Granted: 1908-11-19
Abstract: 12,891. Marks, E. C. R., [Krentler Bros. Co.]. June 16. Preparing lasted boots for sewing; nailing.-The machine is provided with means for withdrawing or partly withdrawing lasting-tacks, and inserting holding-tacks where necessary, and with a spring- controlled work-rest or gauge for use in presenting the shoe to the different tools. The tacking- mechanism is of the usual automatic type, and is controlled from shafts 3, 4, which can be clutched together, when it is desired to insert a tack, by the depression of a treadle. The tack lifting and extracting tools consist of two bars 27, 26, Figs. 2 and 3, hung from links 31, 30 pivoted to the machine frame, the rear ends of these bars being formed with straps 1 to embrace an eccentric 25 on the main shaft 5. The front ends of the bars 26, 27 are serrated, but, while the bar 26 is provided with a sharp edge 34, that of the bar 27 is dulled, as it is found that a reciprocating sharp claw will extract a tack which a similar and similarly-actuated but dull claw will only partly extract. To prevent a tack lifted by the tool 27 from being raised too far, a deflector 36, Figs. 2 and 6, having an arched surface 37, is provided. This bends the tack towards the channel of the shoe and out of the way of the sewing-mechanism. The work-rest or gauge, which is preferably bifurcated to embrace one or other of the tools 26, 27, consists of a slide 39 mounted in the machine head, and actuated by connexions 43, 41, 44 on the depression of a treadle. A spring normally holds the gauge down on to the shoe. With the aid of this gauge, the shoe is so presented to the tools that even tacks embedded in the insole will be readily withdrawn, the tools striking a digging blow beneath the bead of the tack. The clutch mechanism between the shafts 3, 4 consists of a pivoted dog 56, Figs. 2, 10, and 11, carried by a spring-controlled treadle-rod 54, and adapted to engage a shoulder 58 on a flanged sleeve 59, which is provided with two recesses 60, 65. The first of these is engaged by a roll 61 projecting from a wedge-shaped recess 62 in the shaft 3, which also carries a finger 63 controlled by a compressed spring 64 fitting into the second recess 65. When the dog 56 releases the sleeve 59, the spring 64 rotates the sleeve sufficiently for the roll 61 to jam between the shallow part of the recess 62 and the inner surface of the main driving-pulley on the shaft 4, thereby rotating the shaft 3 and starting the tacking-mechanism. Directly a tack has been driven the shaft 3 is stopped by a friction brake.

Title: Improvements in or relating to Coin-assorting Mechanism.
Inventor: GOODCHILD GEORGE WILLIAM
Filed: 1908-09-21
Granted: 1909-05-13
Abstract: 19,800. Goodchild, G. W. Sept. 21. Coins, separating.-Coins are separated according to their denomination in a conduit in which the coins rest on cross-bars ; the distance between which increases along the conduit, means being provided to propel the coins along until they are able to fall between the bars into the receptacles situated beneath the conduit. The coins are fed from a hopper 2 through an aperture 5 in a partition 4 by a reciprocating slide 6, and fall down the shoot 7, the vertical partitions 8 at the bottom of which cause the coins to turn on edge. In this position they pass down between partitions 9 on an inclined base 10 and so into the conduit between the partitions 11. The bottoms of these conduits are crossed by bars 12, the spaces between which increase along the conduits, so that the smallest coins can fall into the first of the receptacles 14. The coins are propelled along the conduit until they are able to fall between the bars 12, by two sets of fingers or pushbars 16, 17 mounted respectively on frames 18, 19. These frames are alternately raised and lowered by pivoted levers 32, 26 actuated by connexion to a hand-lever 20, which is oscillated to actuate these fingers and, through the lever 22 and slotted member 23, the slide 6. The frames 18, 19 are also supported by radius-rods 37, 30 and the suspending and actuating levers are so arranged that the push-bars at the left-hand end of the machine receive a greater amount of movement. A spring 39 connects the member 23 and the slide 6 so that the lever 20 may complete its stroke even if the slide is jammed by coins in the aperture 5. Instead of providing two frames to carry the push-bars, these may be mounted on one frame so that the whole of the bars will be simultaneously operated.
