Granted: 1909-03-18
Abstract: 6432. Kinsella, T. R., and Hodgetts, C. W. March 21,1907, [date applied for under Section 91 of Patents &c. Act, 1907]. Signals, road-vehicles.-The controller handle or the brake handle of an electric tramcar &c. is fitted with a press-button switch whereby the circuit of a bell or audible alarm may be closed without removing the hand from the handle, and with the handle in any of its operative positions.

Patent GB-190809336-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in Two-reel Sewing Machines.
Inventor: FLANAGAN DENIS
Filed: 1908-04-30
Granted: 1909-04-29
Abstract: 9336. Flanagan, D. April 30. Lock - stitch hook sewing - machines ; governing needle thread.-Relates to two-reel sewing-machines, particularly of the type described in Specification No. 11,667, A.D. 1903, and consists in a device for controlling the needle thread as it passes between the reel case and the reel-case holder. The looper disk e of the apparatus of the above Specification is now provided with a cam-surface e<1>, and a pin or thread controller h is placed in a small hole provided in the lower portion of the reel-case holders c, and is held against the looper-disk e by a spring. In operation, the needle thread is carried round by the hook f, and, before the hook reaches the pin h, the cam-surface pushes the pin into the path of thread. Further rotation of the hook brings the thread on to the pin, where it is held until the hook f has taken up the slack of the thread and drawn it clear from between the base of the reelcase b and the point where it is supported on the holder c, on the side furthest from the looper. The continued movement of the looper then withdraws by the spring to allow the thread take-ups to operate. The cam-surface e' may be replaced by a cam-groove in which a projection on the pin h works, and in this the spring is dispensed with.
Patent GB-190814539-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in or relating to Machines for Inserting Nails.
Filed: 1908-07-08
Granted: 1909-07-08
Abstract: 14,539. Pratt, W., Pegg, G., and British United Shoe Machinery Co. July 8. Nailing.-Relates t o machines for driving Cutlan bills or loose nails of like e rectangular cross-section which require to be driven into the work with the longer dimension of their heads lying crosswise to its margin. The nails are fed down a raceway F with the longer dimension of their heads in the direction of travel, and in order that they may be turned into alinement with the path of a separator G, and into correct relation to the edge of the work, the raceway F is turned sideways at its delivery end F<1>. The curve is also arranged for the purpose of producing a gap between the nails for the entry of the separator as shown in Fig. 3 and so that the nails shall be continuously in engagement with the sides of the raceway to ensure precision of feed. The nails are fed singly by the separator G, which moves in a path tangential to the curve of the raceway, into an oblong recess D<7> in a nail-transferrer D mounted to slide in a bearing D<2> bolted to the machine frame. The nail-transferrer is operated in opposition to a spring E by the engagement of a tappet-roll J<1> on the awl bar with a projection H<3> on a lever H pivoted to the machine-head at H<1>. A projection H<2> on the lever H operates through means D<6> on the nail-transferrer which are adjustable to ensure alinement between the raceway end F<1> and the recess D<7> when the nail-transferrer is in its retracted position. The spring E, in conjunction with lock-nuts D<5> which co-operate with the bearing D<2>, forces the nail in the recess D<7> into alinement with the driver C when the lever H is freed. The recess D<7> conforms to the shape of the nail, and the side nearest the driver is constituted by a spring flap D<8>, which grips the nail while it is being transferred to the driving position but yields to allow the lever H to retract the transferrer while the driver is down.

Patent GB-190816191-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in or relating to Machines for Forming the Uppers of Boots and Shoes.
Inventor: BOULT ALFRED JULIUS
Filed: 1908-07-30
Granted: 1909-07-29
Abstract: 16,191. Boult, A. J., [United Shoe Machinery Co.]. July 30. Moulding; uppers.-A machine for forming an out-turned upper in the manufacture of "stitch- "down" shoes comprises means for clamping a toeblank, and a toe-former arranged to have relative movement initially transversely to the clamping- means, and finally in the plane of the clamp members to establish a locking relation. The base 2 has a member 4 corresponding in plan to the outline of the formed toe. This member is arranged to accommodate a steam pipe 66, and carries the clamp member 6 and the pivot of a depressing lever 68. The interchangeable toeformer 50, which rests upon the steam pipe when out of action, is pivoted at 53 to a sliding carriage 54, operated by eccentrics 62* and connecting-rods 64 from a lever 60 pivoted in brackets on the base. The toe-blank, stiffener, and lining are clamped between the smooth fixed plate 6, which has a bevelled inner edge and three serrated plates 30, 22 slidably arranged on the lower face of a plate 8, which is pressed downwards against springs, to clamp the edge of the work, by a rod 20 operated by a locking-treadle. The carriage 54 has two adjustable screws 58 arranged at its forward end. After the toe blank has been clamped and the treadle locked, the toe-former, which lies over the toe-blank, is pressed down by the lever 68. Duriog this movement, the stretching leather is relieved from excessive strain by the yielding movement of the clamp plates 22, 30. The two side plates 22 carry studs 24, which co-operate with slots 26 in the member 8, to produce a movement towards the point of the toe. The plate 30 is guided by a stud 32 and slot 34 so as to move backwards to allow a fulness of material at the point of the toe. When the toe-former has been sufficiently depressed, the lever 60 is operated to force it forwards under the edge of the plate 6, to finish the forming of the toe. During this movement, the screws 58 engage the projecting ends of the plate 22 and positively move them forwards, causing the uppsr to slide over the smooth plate 6, so as to produce the fulness at the toe point, if such movement has not already taken place. Motion is communicated to the plate 30 by means of a lever 44, pivoted at 46 to the member 8 and engaged by a projection 48 on one of the side plates 22. Springs 36, 38 restore the plates when released. The position of the steam-pipe subjects the operative members and the toe-blank to the requisite temperature, the work remaining in the machine in its stretched condition as long as necessary. One operator may be provided with a number of similar machines. The serrated clamp plates 22, 30 are stated to serve as a gauge for the material.

When opening- the main valve, the auxiliary valve g is first opened to connect the chamber d to the outlet f through a passage h and so balance the valve. In a modification, pressure is admitted below a balancing-piston when it is desired to open the main valve.
