Granted: 1912-08-02
Abstract: 17,556. Fairweather, W., [Singer Manufacturing Co.]. Aug. 2. Sewing-machines; presser-bars, lifting automatically and duplex; stitch separating and indenting.-A presser-bar 28 slides within a sleeve 37 adjusting itself to the thickness of the work under the pressure of a spring 60. For lifting the presser, a lever 40 is pivoted to the sleeve and carries at its lower end a lever 43 the end of which lies adjacent to a flattened portion 28<Î> of the presser-bar and at its upper end a screwstop 48 which projects through a hole in the sleeve. When the lever 43 is raised by its camgear, its end presses against the presser-bar and turns the lever 40 upon its pivot to bring the screw-stop 48 into contact with the presser-bar, so that finally the sleeve 37 is locked to the presser-bar both by the lever 43 and by the screw-stop. A rod 66 is secured to a cross-head attached to the lower end of the presser-bar and carries a bowl 69 for engagement with a hand or treadle lifting-lever 70. An arm 74, Fig. 6, integral with the cross-head 62 on the presserbar, holds a spindle 77, which provides pivots for a frame 87 and upon which is adjustably mounted a bar 78 carrying a pivot-pin 79 for a lever 80. A bar 82 is pivoted upon the frame 87 and the lever 80, and carries the stitchindenting tool 85. The frame is oscillated to operate the stitch indenter by the connexion of an upwardly-extending arm 90 with a crankoperated connecting-rod. The lever 80 is shorter than the effective arm of the frame 87, and consequently the stitch indenter is drawn backwards clear of the needle-path by the lever 80 as it rises. The bar 78 has a downwardlypointing part which is engaged between the ends of two adjusting-screws, by means of which the position of the bar and the consequent point of operation of the stitch-indenter can be varied. In addition to positioning the stitches, the stitch-indenter serves as a presser acting alternately with the main presser and with the latter accommodating its position to the thickness of the work.

Patent GB-191126166-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in or relating to Friction Clutches.
IPC: F16D13/04
Filed: 1911-11-22
Granted: 1912-11-22
Abstract: 26,166. Electromotor Equipment Co., and Meacock, T. Nov. 22. Clutches, friction.-Relates to friction clutches automatically tightened by the power of the driving-parts, and disengaged either by the power or by hand. The driving-shaft 1, Fig. 1, carries sliding sleeves 2, 2<1> in which are secured pins 21, 22 carrying rollers 3, 4 connected by links 19, 20 to links 18 pinned to keys 5 engaging grooves in the shaft and operated by a collar 6. Casings 8, 8<1> have cam surfaces 23, 24, and 29,30. When the collar 6 is moved to the right, the toggle-links, 19 20 are straightened out and the rollers 3, 4 engage the cams 23, 24 and move the casings 8, 8<1> into frictional contact with the sides of the driven pulley 10. On an increase of load, the rollers move along the cams and tighten the frictional contact of the clutch surfaces. To disengage, the collar 6 is moved to the left to bring the rollers 3, 4 into contact with the cams 29, 30. If the moment of the toggle-links 19, 20 is small, the friction of the joints will prevent any reaction being felt by the collar 6 and thus by the operator while the action of the cams and rollers is disengaging the clutch. It may, however, be advantageous to arrange the movement of the toggle-links so that a small amount of pressure falls upon the operating lever. The friction surfaces may be conical. The toggledevice may be exterior to the clutch surfaces and operate collars which are connected by concentric sleeves with the moving clutch parts. The cam surfaces may form the sides of a slot in which the roller bears. Figs. 10 and 12 show the application to segmental clutches. The toggle-links 19, 20 are connected to sliding parts 2, 2<1> which carry the rollers 3, 4 engaging the cam surfaces 23, 24 and 29, 30 on slots in the clutch segments 8, 8' which slide in a loose cage 15, and are adapted to be pressed into engagement with a flange 60 on the driven part 10.

Abstract: 10,295. Taylor, J. W., and Aldrich, G. A. May 1. Couplings, automatic and non-automatic.-A two-link coupling-chain which can be operated non-automatically by a transverse rotary shaft, or can be set by the same shaft for automatic coupling on impact of the buffers, comprises an inner triangular link 2 suspended from the draw-hook 1, and an outer link 3 mounted by longitudinal slots 5 on the horizontal portion of the link 2. The link 3 is kept in line with the hook 1 by two guide walls 6 having stops 7 which in the out-of-use position, Fig. 1, bear against the link 2. The operating shaft 11 is formed with a cranked portion 13 which in the out-of-use position bears against hooks 10 at the rear of the link 3, and can be brought into engagement with notches 8 in the walls 6 to lift the link. To hold the parts in the set-forcoupling position, Fig. 2, a catch 15 fixed on the shaft 11 engages behind a pawl 18 pivoted to a bar 20 which is adapted to be moved rearwardly against spring action by the buffer-rod to overbalance the link 3 into engagement with the opposing draw-hook. In the coupled position, the crank 13 is held against the underside of the buffer beam by the action of a counterweight 14 on one of the handles of the shaft 11. To uncouple, the shaft 11 is turned in the reverse direction, and an arm 16 loosely mounted on the shaft and carrying a weight 17 behind the catch 15 serves to lift the pawl 18 to allow the catch 15 to pass. The crank 13 presses upon the rear curved portions of the walls 6 and upon the curved extensions 9 of the link 3 and lifts the link out of coupling engagement. In a modification, Figs. 7 and 8, the parts 15, 16 are replaced by an arm 25 fixed on the shaft 11 and a second arm 28 pivoted to the arm 25 at 29. A bar 22, pivoted to a lug 21 depending from the buffer head, and supported in a bracket 24, is formed with a slot 23 to receive the reduced end 26 of the arm 25 with the shoulders 27 bearing against the underside of the bar. The length of the arm 28 is such that when resting against the arm 25 its end is level with the end 26, so that, when the shaft 11 is turned for uncoupling, the arm 28 serves to lift the bar 22 to allow the arm 25 to pass the slot 23.

Abstract: 14,961. Boult, A. J., [United Shoe Machinery Co.]. June 26. Boot - sole sewing machines; fair - stitching; stitch - indenting; feed by awl and presser foot; channelling.-The work is held between a rigid presser or workguide and a spring- pressed work - support. The presser is moved by hand transversely to the line of feed to vary the position of the seam with respect to the boot-upper, and a stitch-indenting tool is moved correspondingly so that the indentations are always the same distance from the upper. The presser and stitch-indenting tool are mounted on the feed slide together with the awl which effects the feed. A presser P slides in a dovetailed groove in a head 21 of a feed-slide 22. It is held in place frictionally by a clip 94 and may be moved to vary the position of the seam by means of a hand-lever 88 integral with a toothed segment gearing with a pinion 84 which gears with rack teeth on the presser-slide 83. The stitch-indenting tool slide 98 is reciprocated by a cam-lever 104 in a groove formed in the feed-slide. The tool S is carried by a spindle 96 slidingly pivoted in the slide 98. It is given oscillatory movements by a cam-lever 99 and is caused to move downwards in an oblique direction by means of an inclined slot 101 which engages a normally stationary tongue. The tongue is carried by a slide having rack teeth which engage with the upper side of a pinion on the spindle of the hand-lever 88, so that it effects the transverse movement of the stitch-indenting tool when the presser is adjusted. Stops 90, 91 limit the movement of the hand-lever 88. The work-support is mounted upon parallel-levers 63, 64 so that the broad work - engaging surface always moves parallel with itself. It is pressed up to the work by a spring 69 which pulls upon slide 68 having a pin-and-slot connexion with the lever 64. The slide 68 is locked by four spring-pressed pawls which engage with ratchet teeth on the side of the slide so that the free movement of the slide is limited to one-quarter of the pitch of the teeth. The pawls are removed automatically in each cycle by a cam-lever 77 and may be removed by hand by means of a lever 74. The cam-lever operating the feed carries an adjustable bowl which engage in a transverse slot in the feed slide. The worksupport carries a channelling-knife 59.
