Patent GB-191000958-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in Machines for Cutting Gaskets and the like.
Inventor: ROSE JAMES ALONZO
IPC: B26F1/38
Filed: 1910-01-14
Granted: 1911-01-05
Abstract: 958. Rose, J. A Jan. 14. Traversing-cutter type for cutting designs.-Relates to that type of apparatus for cutting gaskets, &c. from sheet material by traversing cutters supported adjustably from the lower end of a hand-driven vertical shaft, and especially consists in 'the means for supporting and adjusting the cutter, the gearing by which it is driven, and the means for feeding it automatically into the work. The cutter 23 is preferably carried by a shank 19, which passes tbrough the end of an adjustable supporting-beam 18, and is resiliently supported against the head 28 of a screw 27 threaded through the beam. The beam 18 is adjustably clamped against the lower end of a shaft 8 which may be driven by a handle 15, either directly or through gearing 10, 9, the choice of such gearing being variable to allow the shaft 8 to be driven at different speeds. The screw-head 28 carries radial projections 29 adapted to be engaged by one or more pins 31 placed in suitable perforations in the frame to rotate intermittently the screw 27 during its movement around the shaft 8, and thereby feed the cutter into the work. A roller 21 serves to support the end of the beam 18; and a pin 20 serves to hold the work from movement towards the completion of the cut.

Abstract: 13,462. Mawbey, A. N. June 3. Lasting.-The variation of the length of the pleat formed by the pincers of a lasting- machine is controlled autoniatically by means of the mechanism shown in Figs. 1 and 3. The fork-ended rod 6 of an eccentric 7 secured on a shaft a is formed with teeth 8, 9 adapted respectively to engage oppositely - opposed teeth 2, 3 on a quadrant 1 formed on a revoluble sleeve 4, which is threaded to receive a screw rod 5. This rod is connected by links b, c to the pleating-mechanism, which is the same as that described in Specifications 14,645/94 and 14,453/97. The teeth 8, 9 are normally held out of engagement with the quadrant 1 by a spring- pressed, double-ended cam member 10, which is connected by a wire &c. 12 to a knee lever &c, When this lever is actuated to right or left, as desired, one or other of the teeth 8, 9 engage the quadrant and rotate the sleeve 4 with a step-by-step movement, causing the rod 15 to move endwise and thus gradually to vary the length of pleat formed by the pleating-mechanism. The rod 15 may be forcibly moved independently of the teeth 8, 9, by means of a knee-lever &c. acting through a rod f; if desired, the cam 10 may also be arranged to be actuated from this knee-lever.

Abstract: 17,195.. Shaw, L. E. Aug. 21, 1909, [Convention date]. Gas burners.-Relates to an interconnected plug cock and needle valve, particularly for controlling acetylene gas. The valves are so arranged that the needle valve closes before, and opens after, the plug cock. As shown, the plug 4, having the usual passage 6, is provided with flat cut-away portions 19. The needle valve 13 is guided by wings in an adjustable screw-threaded jet 9, the conical end of which forms a seat for the valve 13. A spindle 17 at the inner end of the valve 13 is pressed against the plug 4 by a spring 16. In the position shown, both valves are closed. Rotation of the plug 4 opens the gas supply to the jet before the needle valve is opened, the stem 17 riding over the curved surface of the plug. When one of the flat portions 19 comes into contact with the spindle 17, the needle valve opens under the influence of the spring 16.
