Patent GB-101699-A (GB)
Title: Improved Apparatus for Automatically Controlling from a Distance Variable Speed or Reversible Engines.
Inventor: CREPLET LEON JOSEPH
IPC: H02P9/00
Filed: 1916-08-11
Abstract: 101,699. Creplet, L. J. Oct. 4, 1915, [Convention date]. Regulating gear for winding apparatus.-Apparatus for controlling from a distance variable-speed and reversible engines, and applicable to winding engines, comprises a dynamo d driven by the engine and arranged in opposition to a source E of constant voltage so that the voltage supplied to a motor m in the circuit is the difference between the two voltages. The motor m drives a governor R controlling the engine throttle and its field may be varied by means of a resistance r controlled by a hand lever L for the purpose of varying the speed of the engine. If the engine is reversible, the dynamo d is provided with a reversing commutator. When applied to a winding or hauling engine the shaft a of the engine drives the dynamo d and resistance arm r and the governor R acts on a throttle P for the steam supply and on a throttle F for working the brake. The governor rods actuate the valve P through a spring t to enable the governor to apply the brake when the governor sleeve is in position z. The reversing lever L is connected to the shaft C which reverses the valve gear. A roller g is attached to the shaft C so that when the lever L is moved the roller tightens the slack driving chain G and thereby moves the arm r. A shunt resistance s may be combined with the resistance r to vary the range of resistance. Specification 16673/13 is referred to.

Title: Improvements in shoes and method of making same
IPC: A43B9/06
Filed: 1937-04-21
Abstract: 482,073. Making boots and shoes. DEL-MAC SHOE CORPORATION. April 21, 1937, No. 11428. Convention date, April 30, 1936. [Class 17 (ii)] A transverse cut is made in the margin of a shoe sole member at the ball portion in advance of each of a plurality of stitches, which connect upper and sole together, progressively as the stitches are formed to increase the flexibility of a boot or shoe. As applied to a welted shoe, the cuts 32 are formed in the marginal rib of the insole 15 and may be vertical or oblique and are made by a slashing knife before the inseam thread 30 is passed through the succeeding awl hole 36 in a hand sewing operation. The slash cuts may be effected automatically in the sewing-machine as the sewn seam is formed.
Patent GB-744622-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in or relating to machines for applying reinforcements to workpieces
Inventor: BAGSHAW CHARLES MARTIN
IPC: A43D100/02
Filed: 1953-04-25
Abstract: 744,622. Affixing tape by adhesive. BRITISH UNITED SHOE MACHINERY CO., Ltd. April 26, 1954 [April 25, 1953], No. 11483/53. Addition to 579,399. Class 73 The machine described in the parent Specification for applying reinforcing tape to eyelet-receiving parts of shoes, is modified by the provision of a fixed guard 7 and a pivoted guard 15 movable within the fixed guard to open or close the opening between the guard 7 and work support 1 through which a workpiece is inserted, the movable guard 15 being connected to clutch-controlling mechanism 45 in such manner that this mechanism is prevented from operating to start the machine until the guard 15 has moved to its closed position to prevent injury to the fingers of an operator. A rod 23 is pivotally connected to the guard 15 and to one end of a bellcrank lever 27, pivoted on the machine, the other end of which is pivoted to a telescopic member 33 in turn pivoted to a block 43 on a treadle rod 45 which controls the clutch of the machine. Weak tension springs 39 connect the two parts of the member 33. The treadle rod 45 is urged upwardly by a spring 49 bearing at its upper end on a block 51 on the rod 45. On downward movement of the treadle rod, the guard 15 moves towards the work support 1 but if the operator's fingers obstruct this movement, the upper end of the bell-crank lever arm 25 will not move completely away from under the block 51 and the rod 45 is stopped from moving down far enough to trip the clutch. During this movement, the weak springs 39 yield and prevent injury to the operator's fingers by the guard 15. On removal of the operator's fingers, the rod 45 can be moved downwardly again to close the guard 15 and then trip the clutch. Specification 628,702 also is referred to.

IPC: C22C9/00
Abstract: 114,852. Vereingte H³ttenwerke Burbache - Eich - Dudelingen Akt.-Ges. June 23, 1916, [Convention date]. Alloys.-Copper alloys are obtained in a deoxidized condition by subjecting them, during their production or melting, to the action of a reducing slag which may consist of alkali mangano-silicates, the reducing character of the slag being maintained by the addition at intervals of metal chips, coal, charcoal, potassium cyanide, waterglass, borax, or the like. The process may be carried out in an electric furnace, preferably an induction furnace. The Specification as open to inspection under Sect. 91 (3) (a) states that the process is applicable to alloys generally. This subject-matter does not appear in the Specification as accepted.

Abstract: 1421679 Feeding tread strips to tyre building drums CONTINENTAL GUMMI-WERKE AG 19 March 1974 [13 April 1973] 12111/74 Heading B7C [Also in Division G1] A strip of unvulcanized tyre tread rubber is fed by driven rollers 12 until the leading edge 11 reaches a sensor 13. When in this arrested position, and the strip is a little short of its required length one or more of the sensors 14 are covered by the rear end of the strip and cause a motor 20 to move two beams 23, each carrying at least one roller 24, together by an appropriate amount so that upon the conveyer 2 being inclined and the strip being advanced, by pad 10 on the extension of ram 9, on to a tyre carcass on a drum 4, the strip will be squeezed between the rollers and stretched to the required length. If sensor 15 is not covered or sensor 16 is covered the strip is much too short or too long respectively and is discarded. Each sensor 13-16 is preferably as illustrated in Fig. 4. Compressed air is passed through tubes 27, 28. When the air impinges on the strip it is deflected into annular space 29 to act via tube 30 on a diaphragm which thus provides a signal. During the measuring operation, ram 18 presses a plate 19 on to the end of the strip The sensors may alternatively be mechanical, electrical or optical, e.g. sensor 13 may be a hinged strip and surfaces slidably engaging the strip edges may replace the rollers 24. Rams 5, 9 may be pneumatic or hydraulic.

Abstract: 667,397. Shuttles for looms. BRITISH CELANESE, Ltd. May 9, 1950 [May 11. 1949], No. 12575/49. Class 142(iii) A pivoted shuttle tongue is gripped by a clip near to the pivot and between the pivot and the free end of the tongue and is located by its abutment against a part of the shuttle body, means being provided for adjusting the relative levels of the pivot and the point of abutment. A tongue 11 has knuckle portions 17 at the butt end 13 which pivot between a cap 22 and socket 18 secured by a bolt 23. An oil impregnated felt or fibre pad 25 between members 17 and 18 provides lubrication and adjustment for wear. Alternatively the pad may be impregnated with a solid lubricant. The butt 13 has a partcircular portion 14 engaged by a spring clip 37. The clip is secured by passing beneath a curved portion 35 of a member 20 and rests on a fibre pad 36. The tongue is positioned by a notch 16 engaging an abutment 21 on the member 20. Adjustment of lock nuts 24 rocks the tongue about the abutment. The edge 39 of the cap 22 is designed to prevent the tongue pivoting clear of the spring clip. In an alternative construction the members 16, 21 are replaced by a flat spring which is deflected by adjustment of a grub screw and abuts against a projection. The spring and screw may be on the tongue and the projection may be on the shuttle body or vice versa. In this construction, a wooden pivot pin has a splined bush driven on to it to provide a bearing for the butt of the tongue. In a further construction, a wooden pivot pin carries an eccentric bush having gear teeth on its circumference which engage a worm. The worm can be rotated, and locked in position, to adjust the height of the pivot.
