Title: Improvements in Pegging Machines.
Inventor: CARON JOSEPHINE ANTOINETTE
Filed: 1907-03-05
Granted: 1908-04-04
Abstract: 5328. BÚland [nÚe Caron], J. A. March 5. Nailing.-A machine for cutting from a strip and inserting pegs of wood, leather, zinc, &c. comprises an oscillating head K, carrying an awl q<1> and a hammer q<2>, and an oscillating adjustable anvil B, operated by a rock-shaft D and a rod E. A disk H on the end of the driving-shaft F carries an eccentric cam-block J<1>, Fig. 2, which co-operates with rollers J to rock the head K in unison with the anvil. A bar Q, sliding in a groove in the head K, is reciprocated by means of a cam-groove I, and carries the hammer q<2> and the awl q<1>, which penetrates a central bore in the anvil and also feeds the work. A throat 8, Fig. 5, through which the hammer q<2> slides, presses upon the work and is maintained in that position by pivoted links 2, 4, the link 2 having a slot 16 which is engaged by a pin on the bar Q. The strip U from which the pegs are cut is fed forward by rollers V. The pegs are split off by a knife 26 and cut to the desired length by a knife 24. The knives 24, 26 are fixed to vertical faces 22, 23 on a fixed part 20, and operate by the oscillation of the head K. The knife 26 passes into a slot 27, which is covered by a plate 28 to prevent the strip U from entering the slot. Prior to being cut by the knife 24, the pegs are pressed downwards by a hooked finger r<1>, Fig. 2, formed on a bar R, which is depressed by a spring 32, and is raised by a cam 31 engaging its hooped end 30. In order that the length of peg may vary with the thickness of the work, the pedal C connected to the anvil is provided with a rod L actuating a bell-crank lever M and a sliding rod N. A cam-surface on the end of the rod N is engaged by a lug r, Fig. 2, on the rod R to limit the descent of the hooked finger r<1>. The severed pegs pass between a spring 32, Fig. 5, and a plate T' into a slot in the side of the throat 8. The anvil B is provided with a removable head 12, Fig. 10, having a bore coinciding in position and size with the awl q<1>, and with an annular flange 14, which is either sharpened or rounded, for the purpose of splitting and riveting the ends of the pegs. The hammer q<2>, being positively actuated, travels further than the throat 8 and forces the pegs entirely into the work, the peg 18 assuming a doubly curved form, as shown in Fig. 9. Specification No. 12,007, A.D. 1901, [Abridgment Class Boots &c.], is referred to.
Patent GB-190707613-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in Welt Cutting Machines.
Inventor: STANBON CHARLES PETER
Filed: 1907-03-30
Granted: 1908-03-26
Abstract: 7613. Stanbon, C. P. March 31, 1906, [date applied for under Patents Act, 1901]. Cutting-machines for leather &c.-Relates to a machine for slitting transversely by a reciprocating tool the edge of a continuously-fed welt ; the machine may also be provided with bevelling or skiving and grooving tools. The leather 10 to be operated upon is drawn in continuous length from a roll mounted between disks 39 on a core 38, past guides 41, 42, and through a guiding-trough 45, where it is engaged by a tool 62 adapted to bevel the inner edge of the welt to fit against the upper. The welt is then grooved by a tool 71 to receive the stitches of the inseam, skived so as to form a uniform taper towards either edge by a tool 72, and provided with a series of transverse slits to facilitate the shaping of the welt to the sole by an oscillating knife 97. The welt then passes between feed-rolls 8, 9, and is wound on a frame 107, uniform winding being secured by a reciprocating slotted guide 118. The guiding- trough 45 is provided with an edge-gauge 53, Fig. 6, carried on an horizontal spring-controlled rod 54, Fig. 7, and is adapted to be withdrawn laterally by a handle 57 to admit welts of varying widths. A spring 50, supported on the upper overhanging arm 49, supplies the necessary pressure on the welt as it passes through the trough 45. The grooving and skiving tools 71, 72 and a foot plate 70 are adjustably mounted on carriers 68, which are provided with vertical guide-pins 73 passing through the framing 74 and a lifting- plate 75, and are normally depressed by springs 77, but are adapted to be raised simultaneously by a lever 81 which engages a vertical ear 83 on the lifting-plate 75, the lever being locked in this position by the engagement with a cam 87 of a spring-operated latch 84. The slitting-knife 97 is adjustably mounted on a pivoted carrier arm 98, and is oscillated to and from the welt on the roller 8 by a cranked connexion with a shaft 103 suitably driven. The shafts carrying the feedrollers 8, 9 are geared to rotate in opposite directions to effect the feed. To facilitate the insertion of the welt between the feed-rollers, and to allow for different thicknesses of welt, the lower shaft 7 is mounted at its rear end in a trunnioned sleeve 22, Fig. 4, the front end being received by a spring-supported box 28 adapted to slide vertically and to be depressed, when required, by a suitable lever device 36. The slotted guide 118 is carried by a bracket 120 reciprocated by a pivoted lever 123, which is oscillated by suitable gearing with the shaft 6 of the upper feed-roll. The winding- frame 107 is carried on an horizontal shaft 108, which is driven from the shaft of the lower feedroller by a belt passing round a pulley 111, Fig. 9, on the shaft 108, an adjustable friction clutch 112, 113 being employed to regulate the rate of winding. The welt passes round #-shaped pins 110 on the frame 107, which can be rotated to facilitate the removal of the wound roll.

Abstract: 27,766. Dempster & Sons, R., and Toogood, H. J. Dec. 17. Gas retorts, charging and discharging. In mechanically-driven stoking-machinery, the constant speed of a driving-rope is converted into a variable speed for the purpose of operating the charging- apparatus, the discharging-apparatus, the travelling- gear, and the hoisting-gear, by means of an expanding pulley or pulleys and an epicyclic gear-train. Each of the expanding pulleys j, k consists of a pair of cones adapted to approach and recede from one another so as to vary the effective diameter of the pulley. The movement of the cones may be effected by means of a pair of levers m, pivoted at m<1> and operated by a right and left handed screw m<2>, or otherwise. The epicyclic gear-train comprises a spur-wheel g carrying bevel-pinions h, i, which mesh with bevel-pinions b, f. The pinion f is driven from the pulley j, and the wheel g from the pulley k, the pinion b driving the various parts of the machine through pinions c, c' and shafts o, p, q, r. By varying the relative speeds imparted to the wheels g, f, any required speed in either direction may be given to the wheel b. In a modification, only one expanding pulley is used.

Filed: 1909-02-03
Granted: 1909-02-03
Abstract: 2525. Johnson, J. Y., [Badische Anilin & Soda Fabrik]. Feb. 3, 1908. Ammonia is prepared by heating titanium nitride or cyanonitride with an acid, or with a salt that splits off acid, while practically avoiding oxidation. The reaction may be carried out in the presence of steam. For example, titanium nitride is heated with diluted sulphuric acid, and titanium cyanonitride is heated with hydrochloric acid, or with a solution of aluminium chloride, or concentrated sulphuric acid. In the last case, air is blown through the diluted solution whereby the titanium salt is decomposed, being precipitated as titanic acid. Specification 2414/08 is referred to.
