Title: Improvements in Mechanism for Cutting Leather and the like
Inventor: FITCHETT THOMAS HALLAM
Filed: 1905-12-19
Granted: 1906-10-04
Abstract: 26,412. Fitchett, T. H., and Denne, M. T. Dec. 19. Cutting - machines for leather &c. - Relates to means for actuating a cutting-out press for cutting leather used for boot &c. uppers and linings and other light materials. The material is placed upon a cutting-block of sufficient area to render any movement of the material unnecessary, and is cut by means of a shaped knife of thin steel, which is forced on to the material by means of the device shown in Fig. 2, comprising a base a with a face a<1> to be pressed on the knife. The base a is connected by means of bolts to a cap c, between which and the base is arranged a cylinder b, in which is arranged a metal piston d provided with leather cups d'. A compressed-air supply normally communicates through a spring piston valve e' with the bottom of the cylinder, but, when the plate a<1> is placed over the knife, the valve is operated by means of a trigger e<5>, and the compressed air acts on the top of the piston and forces it against the plate a<1>, which communicates the blow to the knife. The bottom of the cylinder communicates with the outside air while the piston is descending. The apparatus is suspended by a counterbalanced cord, or, preferably, by means of a jointed arm. A spring may be used to assist the raising of the piston ; or the piston may be operated by a spring on the release of compressed air contained in the lower part of the cylinder. The face a<1> may be made movable to a slight extent relative to the base a, by perforating the face a<1> with a large hole and fitting a flanged plug in this hole.

Granted: 1906-10-04
Abstract: 27,263. K³chenmeister, C. W., and Thomann, P. Dec. 30. Moulding bricks &c.-A curved plate d, hinged to the fixed stripping- bar c and operated by an eccentric rod a, presses down the material into moulds by reason of its swinging action. The bar is nearly flat when the substances to be moulded are very plastic, or is more curved when pressing harder substances. It can also be provided with projections to prevent slip and to form indentations in the moulded article, and the bar c can be dispensed with. If the plate is held fixed, it acts only as a levelling- plate for material to be pressed under the bar c. Specifications No. 17,499, A.D. 1900, and No. 9955, A.D. 1905, are referred to.

Abstract: 13,950. Baril, A. L. C. June 19, 1905, [date applied for under Patents Act, 1901]. Percussive hand-tools.- In a fluid-pressure tool for chiselling metals &c., the port d in the handle is connected to a port g in the valve box, which communicates with each end of a differential valve h a v i n g two diameters. When the valve is in the position shown in Fig. 1, fluid passes in the space behind the piston which is driven out, exhaust passing through ports j, neck of valve, and ports k, l. When ports m are uncovered, pressure below the valve falls, and the valve is moved forward by the pressure continuously acting on the smaller area passing through port h. Fluid now passes over the top of the valve and through port to drive back the piston. The ports m being covered in the rearward stroke, fluid trapped between the upper end of the piston and the larger end of the valve is compressed and drives back the valve, the piston being prevented by the cushion from striking the valve.

Patent GB-190618508-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in Yarn Dressing and Drying Machines.
Inventor: TURLUR PAUL
Filed: 1906-08-17
Granted: 1907-01-24
Abstract: 18,508. Turlur, P. Aug. 17. Drying yarns.-A yarn-drier comprises drying- chambers, a heat-regenerator, and a fan or compresser ; the drier may be horizontal, inclined, or vertical. From the sizing-rollers 1, the yarn passes into a chamber divided into compartments 3 ... 6, thence over a perforated drum 7 into a chamber 8, over another drum 9 into a chamber 10, and finally over rollers 11, 12, through a chamber 13, and out into the open air over a roller 14. Air is forced from distributing-boxes 15, 18, 20 over heated pipes 17, and through nozzles 16 into the chambers 2, 8, 10. In the first chamber, the temperature of the air rises gradually towards the further end ; in the second, a partition 19 forces the air to pass over all the pipes, so that the heat is high and uniform ; the temperature is lower in the third chamber. If the air is heated outside the machine, the nozzles are distributed so that increasing quantities of air escape as the yarn travels through the chambers. The vapours evolved in the compartments 3 ... 6 escape through holes in the roofs into an uptake 21. The hotter and drier air from the chamber 8 passes through the perforated drum 7, assists in drying the yarn, and flows into an uptake 13 along with the air from the chamber 10. The drum 7 may contain rotatable vanes which disperse the air and accelerate its escape. The drum 9 contains a cylinder 22 with nozzles, supplied with air from the box 18 through pipes 23 serving as axles. The moist air from the uptake 21 passes through the heating-pipes 26 of a regenerator and escapes through a valved funnel 27. A fan draws fresh air through a funnel 30 over the pipes 26, baffles 31 giving it a sinuous course, and through the part 32 ; it also draws air through the part 28 from the uptake 13, delivering the mixed hot air into the distributing-boxes. When the heating is external, the fan delivers the air to the apparatus. The air may in some cases pass through the pipes 26 arranged in the path of the hot vapours. The air drawn through the regenerator may be obtained from the upper part of the work room, or from above boilers, or elsewhere. Between the drying- chambers and the fan, the air may pass through tubes heated by combustion gases from a stove, or through a heater in the uptake of a boiler furnace. The uptakes extend from the rear to the front of the machine.

Granted: 1908-07-16
Abstract: 21,174. Siemens Bros. Dynamo Works, [Siemens-Schuckertwerke Ges.]. Sept. 24. Switches; cut-outs. - Refers to electric switches and other apparatus operated by a hot wire. A stop is provided to limit the motion of the hot wire after a certain amount of expansion, and then cause it to sag to operate the apparatus. Means are also provided to neutralize the effect on the length of the hot wire due to the alternations of the current, As shown in Fig. 1, the hot wire a is secured at one end to a fixed stud b, passes through a hole in a plate d, and is secured at the other end through a spring c to another fixed stud b<1>. During the first variations in length, the wire is drawn through the hole by the spring c ; but on a certain temperature being reached, a stop e on the wire engages the plate d, and the wire sags and operates a contact k. Fig. 2 shows the arrangement for neutralizing the pulsations in length on an alternating circuit. The expanding element is composed of two similar portions a<1>, a<2> arranged one in each phase m, m' and in line, but insulated from each other by an insulating- coupling i and connected to a stop e and spring c, as in Fig. 1. While the current is increasing in a', it is diminishing in a<2>, and, consequently, the expansion in the wire a<1> is neutralized by the contraction in the wire a<2>, and vice versa. Thus the net result of the phase fluctuations is nil, and it is only the actual variation in the mean square of the current that moves the contact-piece k. Similar arrangements are shown for two- and three-phase currents.

Abstract: 18,761. Hooper, W. H. Dec. 23,1907, [date applied for under Section 91 of Patents &c. Act, 1907]. Boot-sole sewing-machines.-A pipe 26 conveys water from a tank 21 to a nozzle in the channel guide 28 for the purpose of moistening the channel. The water supply is controlled by a cock 25, which is connected to a bell-crank lever 31 operable through a rod 32 by a treadle. The machine is provided with a stop-gear of the kind in which the' machine is brought to rest by causing it to wind up a volute spring and thereafter the spring is allowed to turn the machine in the reverse direction through part of a revolution to bring the machine to a predetermined position in which a ratchet tooth 18 contacts with the stop-finger 11. A link 37 connected to the bell-crank lever 31 rests upon a snailcam 39, which in the normal running of the machine rotates idly under the lever. In the reverse motion however the radial edge 40 positively engages the toe 38 cf the link 37 and throws the link to the left and so closes the cock 25. In this movement, the link is thrown clear of the edge 40, and the parts are so arranged that, if the link is moved back into contact with the edge, the cock is partly opened. In this way a supply of water is obtainable prior to starting the machine.
