Abstract: 16,695. Lee, J. July 17. Boot-sole sewing machines; horns and related parts.-In bootsole sewing machines of the Blake type, a guiding-finger 5 mounted on the machine frame enters the groove between the upper and the sole, and the operator by holding the boot up to the guiding-finger keeps the stitching at a uniform distance from the edge of the boot. The finger is clamped on a rod 7 by a screw 13, and the rod 7 is pivoted at 11 to the machine frame. A spring 14 tends to force the finger out from the working position, but it is held in that position during the sewing operation by a lever 15 which passes behind the upper end of the rod 7. The lever 15 is operated by the presser-lifter, so that when the presser is raised from the work the rod 7 is freed and the spring 14 moves the finger 5 from the work also.

Granted: 1911-03-02
Abstract: 12,759. Watson, C., and Shearer, G. W. May 25. Helical and volute springs.- Consists in so designing these that the rotation of the ends due to an axial load is re- 'duced or prevented by proportioning the section of the metal used so that the rotation due to the bending action which occurs in the material when the spring is stressed is neutralized by that due to the torsion. In the Figure, in which the section is rectangular, the ratio x is determined which makes the amount of rotation nil. A mathematical investigation is given, in which it is shown that the rotation is avoided when KJEI=A<4>N, where K is a constant depending on the shape of the section, J is the polar moment of inertia of the crosssection about a perpendicular axis through its centre of area, E is the modulus of elasticitv of the material, I is the moment of inertia of the section about the neutral axis parallel to the axis of the helicoid. A is the area of section of the metal, and N is the modulus of rigidity.

Abstract: 26,935. Vogtlõndische Maschinen-Fabrik (vorm. J. C. & H. Dietrich) Akt.- Ges. Nov. 20, 1909, [Convention date]. Cards, punching. - In punching the cards 1, Fig. 1, for a jacquard embroidering- machine, a perforation-determining or punch - selecting slide 18, Figs. 1 and 3, or a revoluble drum or plate, provided with holes and slits on either side of an unperforated zero line I normally situated below the selecting-pins 6 carried by a cam-andlever operated part 8, is moved in a direction perpendicular to the transverse row of selecting- pins 6 by means of a rack 17, pinions 16, 15, and a rack 14, to which the horizontal component movements of a stitch are transmitted from a frame 13. The perforated part of the plate &c 18 is thus moved to a position beneath the pins 8; thus, if the slide 18 is moved four divisions to the left, the hole x allows a particular pin 6 to fall when the cam-and-lever operated piece 8 is lowered, a corresponding lifting-bar 5 dropping into engagement with a cam-operated lever 7 and being moved into position to block a corresponding punch 2. A lever 19 operated from a cam-controlled lever 20 intermittently locks the pinion 16 and slide 18, and, after each punching operation, the rack 17 is lifted out of engagement with the pinion 16 by a rod 26 and a cam-operated lever 25. Nippers 21 actuated from a cam-operated lever 22 then close upon a pin 24 on the rack 17, and thus positively return the plate 18 to zero position. Similar mechanism is used for transmitting the vertical components of the stitches to punching-mechanism.

Abstract: 659. Borchers, E. K. H. Jan. 13, 1910, [Convention date]. Turbidometers.-In apparatus for testing gases, steam, or other vapours, the flow of the jet of gas or vapour is diverted so that its solid or liquid particles, due to their momentum, continue their flight and impinge on a recording-surface, the gas passing away in another direction. The apparatus may be used for recording the proportion of dust &c. in gases or vapours, the smoke in boiler plants or the tar in illuminating-gas. The jet of gas &c. entering by the nozzle a is projected against the funnel-shaped orifice d and the direction of flow thereby suddenly changed, so that the gas passes away at c, while the solid or fluid particles due to their momentum continue their course and strike the chart-carrier e, to which they adhere, thus leaving a trace. A suction pipe i may be provided behind the surface of the chart. A port f admits air to the chamber g to prevent impurities from collecting in the apparatus. The chart-carrier e is caused to rotate upon a clock-work drum in such a manner that the drum, when rotating, moves upwards or downwards so that the record follows a spiral path. The chart surface may bo impregnated with indicators such as litmus, or may be made of rough or sticky material, or of plastic material into which the particles sink.
