Patent GB-190826033-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in and relating to the Manufacture of Boots and Shoes.
Inventor: LENGFELLNER KARL
Filed: 1908-12-02
Granted: 1909-07-01
Abstract: 26,033. Lengfellner, K. Dec. 2. Insoles; stiffeners; heels. -Insoles for boots and shoes are moulded on a specially-formed last to give a correct shape to the waist ; a spring waiststiffener is added. The last is formed from a cast of the foot, and, after " correction," insoles c of leather are moulded upon it so as to have an upward extension i at the part corresponding to the inside of the waist. A stiffening and waterproofing composition is applied, consisting of celluloid or nitro-cellulose, or both, mixed with finely-divided cork and rubber, to which a substance such as bone-dust may be added. The insole is allowed to dry upon the last, after which it retains a slight resilience. A resilient plate a of aluminium, celluloid, &c. and a supporting-spring b are subsequently attached beneath the waist, which has the form shown in Fig. 1. The insole is channelled for the attachment of the upper and the welt, the channelling at the waist being adjacent to the edges of the stiffening-plate. The heel of the boot &c. is hollowed to receive the heel portion of the insole, which is dished, as shown, by the formation of the last. The heel is constructed either by moulding from a composition similar to the insole coating but containing more rubber, or by forming the upper part from horse-shoe shaped lifts. The upper and the welt are stitched to the insole adjacent to the edges of the stiffening-plate, as shown in Fig. 4, in order to provide a narrow waist.
Patent GB-190904262-A (GB)
Title: Improvements relating to Gas Meters.
Inventor: KOZMINSKI SAMUEL
Filed: 1909-02-20
Granted: 1909-10-21
Abstract: 4262. Kozminski, S. Feb. 20. Gas meters.-In a wet gas meter, light mineral oil free from paraffin, such as spindle oil or solar oil, is used as the sealing - liquid. A form of meter suitable for use with this liquid comprises a drum a of sheet metal less than 0À35 mm. in thickness, with a spindle of thin steel wire. As the liquid does not evaporate, the usual float - operated inlet valve is dispensed with, and the drum may rotate at a high speed. The sealing- liquid is introduced by an inlet closed by a screw i, which can be removed only by a special key. The gas passage m to the drum is open below to an overflow chamber p. The correct liquid-level is indicated by an overflow pipe o having a flexible upper portion, which may be adjusted by a wire v normally soldered to the wall of the meter. The lower end of this pipe is closed by a plug s, which also closes apertures r in the wall of the chamber p and can be removed only by a special key.

The pulley spindle 6 is driven when in operative position by a friction pulley 9 gearing with a friction pulley 11 mounted on a fixed stud 10 and driven from the printing-cylinders. Guide pieces 16 mounted on a bar 17 are provided, and also stops to limit the movement of the frame 7 in both directions.
Patent GB-190909390-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in Machines for Boring and Planing Torpedo Tubes and the like.
IPC: B23B29/02
Filed: 1909-04-20
Granted: 1910-01-27
Abstract: 9390. Hulse & Co., Adams, E., and Lowthian, T. M. April 20. Boring-bar machines; shaping.-Torpedo tubes and the like are bored and shaped by apparatus in which the cutter-bar 3 is supported at the position of the cutter 4 by half-bearings 5, and at any other position by a half-bearing 6. The half-bearings slide on a girder 7, supported by end bearings 2, which also support the bar 3. The work x is supported by chucks 8, which can be rotated through 180 degrees by a hand-lever after the removal of the bar 3 and girder 5, and a spring bolt engaging a recess in the chuck. The cutter is traversed slowly for boring, and quickly for shaping.
Patent GB-190913239-A (GB)
Title: Improved Crank Drawing Press.
Inventor: SPERBER NORBERT
IPC: B21D24/12
Filed: 1909-06-05
Granted: 1910-01-06
Abstract: 13,239. Sperber, N. June 5. Cupping.-The upper dies of a multiple-drawing stamp for tinplate and like vessels are caused, by the preliminary movement of the lower die, to act on the blank throughout their entire stroke. The table 35, adjustably carrying the dies and blank holder 34, 33, is operated, during the up-stroke of the upper dies only, by cams 41, 42 through links 37, 39, 46, 47, 45. First a downward movement is imparted to the table to cause the stationary ejector 58 to remove the finished article and allow a fresh blank 56 to be placed in position ; then the table moves up and holds the blank against the dies 5, 15, and holder 27 at their highest point. The slide 6, reciprocated by the crank 3, imparts motion to the die 5 through an adjustment 10, 12, and to the slide 18 by means of blocks 25 engaging rollers 19 on the arms 21 of the slide until the rollers can move outwards under the projections 57 and the slide 18 remain stationary while the slide 6 moves on. In the same way, the slide 18 may impart a still smaller movement to the upper blankholder 27 through the rollers 29 &c. when used for cutting or heavy work. The slide 18 carries adjustably thereon the die 15, which thus moves with the die 5 until the former grips the blank against the lower die 34, the die 5 drawing. A continuous band brake 55 prevents the parts from moving too fast on the down-stroke.

Granted: 1910-02-17
Abstract: 13,600. Puissesseau, R. Dec. 12, 1908, [Convention date]. Jib cranes.-Slueing-gear for ships' derricks, in which the derrick swings automatically in one direction, comprises a yard arm 7 transversely attached to the mast, over the outer ends of which pass two guys 3, 5 attached to the upper end of the derrick. The guy 3 on the side to which it is desired to swing automatically is fixed in length, and the operation is controlled by winding-in and paying-out the other guy 5. The guy 5 may serve as a hoisting- cable, other guys 21, Fig. 2, being provided for holding the derrick when required. In loading the vessel, continued hauling on the cable 5 after the load is fully hoisted slues the derrick inboard. An automatic catch is provided for sustaining and disengaging the load when the hoisting-rope is paid out for slueing during unloading.

Granted: 1910-10-13
Abstract: 5604. Pilkington, W. W., Briggs, J., and Bradshaw, R. March 7. [Addition to 19,921/06.] Dobbies.-Comprises various detail improvements in the dobby described in the parent Specification. The feelers are divided, one part being provided with a notched end 24, Fig. 3, engaging a corresponding tongue 25 on the other part, and both parts being massed at 27, so that, when acted upon by the pegged lags of the pattern cylinder, they move away from the upper curved ends 30 of the draw-bars 34, and allow these draw-bars to move outwards into position to be engaged by the draw-knives. The feelers are arranged in pairs, the feelers 53 acting directly upon the draw-bars at the same side of the dobby, while the short feelers 54 control the draw-bars at the side opposite from them. The divided ends of the feelers work in a grate 26, above which a removable strong blade spring or cross-bar held down by a setscrew &c. is arranged to prevent the divided ends of the feelers from leaving the grate. The pendent ends of the feelers are prevented from rising too high by removable bars or shafts 51 mounted in stepped bearings 52. The horizontal balk levers 31 are provided with projections 36 passing through a central guiding- grate 37 fixed by means of lugs 38 to the sides of the dobby, and with recesses 32 to receive the ball bearings 33 of the draw-bars, the limbs of which pass through slots in the balk levers. The weight of the healds and the undermotion force the ends of the balk levers against lips 39 cast to side brackets 40. The governing-cylinder 18, Fig. 1, is removed to the other side of the dobby, the framing being extended; the feeler 19 is linked to the rocking lever 20, which has small links provided with lips 22 to raise the actuating-catches 1, 2 of the pattern cylinders, these catches being mounted on studs adjustably fitted in slots 4 in the catch plate 5. A swivel 7 is mounted on a stud on a bracket fixed immediately behind it, and is bifurcated at its lower end to engage a small bowl on a stud 10 fixed to the sliding frame 11, which is kept stationary in its two extreme positions by a bowl 13 on a spring - actuated lever 14 engaging in one or other of the notches 17 of the swivel. The feelers 41, Fig. 5, for single-cylinder dobbies have recessed bearings 47 at one end fitting against a cross-shaft 48 and kept up by a cross-bar 49. The feelers are bowed or curved at 46 where they are actuated by the pattern cylinder 45. They are in pairs, one in each pair being formed with a curved end 43 and the other with a projection 44, so that both draw-bars may be controlled.
