Class 17(1) In a shoe upper conforming machine having a support 10, 12, 12, for a shoe upper on a last, means 22, 20, 20, to tension the forepart of the upper, and locating means, comprising a pair of abutment members 78 spaced widthwise of the shoe and symetrically of the centre line x-x of the support one to engage the heeel portion of a left hand shoe and the other the heel portion of a right hand shoe, to assist the operator in positioning the work with the longitudinal median line of the forepart bf the last in the desired relation to the shoe support, (1) means 94, 102 are provided for adjusting the abutment members towards and away from each other, and (2) the shoe is held in position by a heel end engaging device 14. The pads 78 are adjusted lengthwise of the shoe by use of the extension 76, 76<SP>1</SP>, or 76<SP>2</SP> appropriate to the size of shoe, and are adjusted widthwise in accordance with the style of shoe. The shoe is first positioned at the toe end against the arcuate face 50 of the inner jaw of the toe gripper, the upper is then inserted into the open grippers 22, 20, and finally the shoe is positioned by movement into engagement with one abutment 78, and held in this position by the arcuate rubber faced plate 40 of the heel rest 14 which is engaged with the shoe by movement of slides 48. Each pad 78, shaped as in Fig. 6 so as to engage the side of the heel end of the shoe in the vicinity of the bottom of the shoe, is carried by an extension 76, 76<SP>1</SP>, or 76<SP>2</SP> secured to an arm 70 pivoted on shaft 68. Rod 94, which is not movable axially, has right and left hand threaded portions engaging nuts 88 engaged in trunnion blocks 82 journalled on arms 70, so that when rod 94 is rotated by means of knobs 102 arms 70 are caused to pivot about shafts 68 and rods 78 are adjusted equal extents widthwise of the shoe. Arms 70 are urged outwardly by springs 104. Fig. 2 shows a medium sized man's shoe S engaged by a pad 78, points a, b indicating diagrammatically the points of contact of pads 78 with larger and smaller sizes, extension 76<SP>1</SP> and pad 781 for use with women's shoes S1, and pads 78<SP>2</SP> on larger extensions 76<SP>2</SP> for use with children's shoes S<SP>2</SP>, the three corresponding positions of heel rest 14 being indicated. Side tackers 24, toe tacker 26, and pads 30 to hold the shoe in position are also provided. Specifications 12304/1903 [Class 17] and 396,086 are referred to.

Title: Anti-skid brake control apparatus
IPC: B64C25/46
Filed: 1953-04-23
Abstract: 724,727. Brake control systems. WINGFOOT CORPORATION. April 23, 1953 [Dec. 20, 1952], No. 11198/53. Class 103 (1). An anti-skid brake control device, particularly for use on aircraft, comprises a shaft 4 driven directly by, or at a speed proportional to, the wheels on which skidding is to be prevented, this shaft carrying a rotor 6, keyed thereto, and also a flywheel 7 to which torque is transmitted through a freewheel coupling 9. Both the rotor 6 and flywheel 7 are permanent magnets or such that they produce a flux with the circumferentially spaced lugs 3 on an iron core 12 secured to the generator housing 3. Coils 14 and 15 wound on the lugs 13 are connected into a circuit which operates a relay 20 controlling a further circuit which governs a brake cylinder pressure supply and leak-off valve 26. In the event of wheel skidding taking place the flywheel 7 will rotate faster than the rotor 6 and thus a potential will be generated in the coils 13 which energizes the circuits to cause the solenoid valve 26 to be operated in a manner such as to reduce the brake pressure and correct the skidding.

Abstract: 637,943. Angular bending. COMMERCIAL STRUCTURES, Ltd., and CHAMBERLAIN, A. G. April 26, 1948, No. 11383. [Class 83 (iv)] A bar or like bending-machine wherein the bar 17 is bent around a central die 12 by a roller 14 mounted on a radial arm 13 pivoted at the centre of the die, has a back-stop 16 pivoted upon a fixed part of the machine and provided with an aperture 162 to receive the bar 17 which is prevented from moving through the stop by means of the increasing pressure exerted by the stop against the bar at the edges of the aperture as the stop tends to rotate about its pivot. A base 10 having lugs 101, 102, 103 for attachment to a bench is provided with a post 11 to carry the die 12. The radial arm 13 carrying the roller 14, which is adjustable by means of a screw, is disposed between the die 12 and base 10 and is pivoted on the post 11. A sleeve 141 cupped to the form of the bar 17 is interposed between the roller 14 and the latter. As the bar is being formed around the die 12, creep between it and the die is prevented partly by friction along the surface of the die and partly by the pressure exerted at the edges of the aperture 162 in the back-stop 16. The backstop is pivoted on a peg 15 on the die 12 and attached to the latter by a screw 18 to permit the two members to be inverted as a single unit on the post 11 in order to facilitate reflex bending.

Abstract: 283,392. Barford & Perkins, Ltd., Perkins, J. E. S., and Hood, G. W. L. May 4, 1927. Scarifiers. - Relates to road scarifiers of the type in which the tool holder 1 is pivotally suspended from the frame of a road roller and provided with wheels or rollers 25 to limit the penetration of the tines x into the road. According to the invention, the upward thrust during operation is prevented from lifting the holder by providing lifting links which pass beyond a dead centre in being lowered to the operative position. In the form shown, the point 21 on the lifting lever 20 is connected by a link 18 to the end 19 of an arm 17 mounted on a transverse shaft 12. This shaft carries a second arm 11 connected by a link 9 to the tool holder 1. In the 'operative position shown, the point 21 passes below the line joining the points 22. 19, so that the upward thrust tends to force the lever 20 downwards against a fixed stop. When thrown over to the extreme, left, the hand-lever is held by a catch with the scarifier in raised position. The wheels 25 may be replaced bv sliding shoes.
