Title: Improvements in or relating to machines suitable for attaching ornaments to shoe uppers by staples
IPC: A43D69/06
Filed: 1958-01-21
Abstract: 908,536. Stapling-machines. BRITISH UNITED SHOE MACHINERY CO. Ltd., KESTELL, T. A., and PRETTY, F. A. Jan. 20, 1959 [Jan. 21, 1958], No. 1962/58. Class 89 (3). A stapling-machine, e.g. for applying ornamental bows to shoe uppers, comprises a hollow work-support 7, Fig. 1, capable of entering a shoe, means A in the body 3 of the machine for forming a staple from wire and a block 57 slidable along bars 63, Fig. 4, for carrying a formed staple to the end of support 7 and thereafter driving the staple out through the support and outwardly through the shoe upper or other work-piece. The bars 63 are pivoted at 65 to the body and the block 57 is attached by a link 83 to a lever 85 pivoted at 109 to strap 111 surrounding an eccentric 113 on a shaft 115 driven by a power means through a one-revolution clutch. The lower end of lever 85 is located between spring plungers 123, in a bracket fixed to the body, and is secured on a stud 87 pivoted to a lever 91 pivoted at 93 in the body, and the upper end of lever 91 has a pin- and-slot connection with a rod 97, the length of which is adjustable by a tumbuckle. The forward position of block 57 is determined by the end of lever 85 engaging shoulders 117 on the bars 63, and the rearward position by an eccentric abutment on one of the bars for block 57. Staple guides 67 are slidable in the block and are separated by a driver 53 secured to the block. In operation, a treadle is pressed to cause via rods and levers 52, 49, 47, 45, 41, 39 and 37, an anvil 9 to slide down and grip a shoe &c. against the support 7, and also engage the drive of the clutch. From the rest position shown, the eccentric moves stud 87 to the left and causes, via levers &c. 91, 97, 101 and 107 bars 63 to pivot and raise block 57 until the guides 67 abut the edge of the aperture in support 7, whereafter the block continues and the driver pushes the staple 73 through the work for clenching against anvil 9. Bars 63 are then lowered and block 57 is drawn to the right to receive another staple made by inner and outer formers 139, 138, respectively, a wire length being fed across former 138 and pushed down by former 139 in between guides 67. Former 139 is fixed on a slide 141 having rack-teeth 143 meshing with a toothed segment 145 pivoted on a shaft 147 and fixed by bolt 151 to an arm 149. A cam on shaft 115 actuates via a lever 159, pivoted at 161 to the body, and further levers &c. 157, 155, the segment. Wire is fed from spool R, Fig. 2, by a wheel 165 and pressing roller 167, wheel 165 being rotated in steps by a pawl 169, the steps being adjustable to any of three lengths according to the length of staple legs to be produced. The pawl is actuated by a cam on shaft 115 engaged by a follower 187 moving via levers &c. 185, 181, 179, 177, 173 and a spindle 171.

Abstract: 1,013,567. Endless belt conveyers. AUTOMAC Ltd. April 14, 1964 [Jan. 16, 1963], No. 2028/63. Heading B8A. An endless belt conveyer 1 travels beneath a signalling device 18, e.g. a metal detector, which when an article requiring sorting, e.g. containing metal, passes along the conveyer actuates a pneumatic ram 16 for retracting the delivery end of the conveyer to allow rejected articles to drop down a shoot 21. In normal operation the conveyer 1 receives articles from a conveyer 2 and delivers them to a conveyer 3, the conveyer 2 may drive the conveyer 1. The latter passes over head and tail rollers 6 and 4, respectively, and guide rollers 7, 8 and 9, the rollers 6 and 7 being mounted on a framework 17 which is slidably disposed on the main framework of the conveyer. Impulses from the signalling device 18 are fed, via a delay unit adjusted to allow an article on the conveyer to reach the delivery end thereof before operation of the ram 16, to a solenoid-operated valve 19 controlling the air supply to the ram. The signalling device may be a mechanical or electrical impulse generator, e.g. one which is manually operated.

Title: Improvements in or relating to Valve Mechanism for Internal Combustion Engines.
Inventor: KILBURN BERTRAM EDWARD DUNBAR
IPC: F01L13/00
Filed: 1919-01-28
Abstract: 129,219. Kilburn, B. E. D., (Sulzer FrÞres Soc. Anon.). Jan. 28, 1919. Starting.-Compressed air from the passage e is admitted to the cylinder at f through a beatvalve a, and the exhaust is controlled by a pistonvalve g. The valve g leaves the cylinder open to the atmosphere at i during the earlier part of the compression strode, thus reducing the compression pressure. The two valves a, g are worked by the same cam l. During the compression stroke, the part AF of the cam raises the valve g to close the port i, and at the beginning of the next stroke, the part FE of the cam raises the valve further so as to open the beat valve and admit compressed air to the cylinder when the stems m, n of the valves are in contact with one another. The part EK of the cam corresponds to the power stroke, both valves being closed, and the part KA allows the piston valve to open for the discharge of air from the cylinder.

Title: Improvements in and relating to method and apparatus for filling containers with comminuted materials
IPC: B65B1/36
Filed: 1965-01-16
Abstract: 1,097,171. Delivering measured quantities of powdered material. C. W. VOGT. Jan. 16, 1965], No. 2039/65. Headings B8C and B8N. Apparatus for delivering a measured quantity of powdered material into a container 149 comprises a measuring chamber 75 and a gaseous pressure filling mechanism 18, the measuring chamber including wall sections 76, 77 having porous portions 82 and separated by resilient members 83, the wall section 77 being movable in order to reduce the volume of the chamber. The wall sections 76, 77 are formed with ribs 81 against which porous liners 82 are held, thereby leaving an annular space 80 into which compressed air can flow. The wall section 76 is rigidly fixed to side plates 92 and the section 77 is connected to a rod 113 which is actuated by a diaphragm 114 so as to move the section 77 between the plates against the action of the resilient members 83; the maximum outward movement of the latter section may be varied by changing shims 121, thereby altering the capacity of the measuring chamber. The measuring chamber is sealingly secured to an inlet valve housing provided at the bottom of a magazine 18 into which powdered material is fed from a hopper 15, Fig. 1, by means of a blowing head 14. The magazine is provided with flexible liner 21 which is vibrated by means of pusher plates 36 connected, via a yoke 41 and rod 47, to a motor-driven eccentric plate 46. The bottom of the measuring chamber is closed by a spring-loaded valve plate 125 pivoted on a pin 128; the valve may be urged into contact with the bottom of the chamber by means of a clamping device or, as shown, by means of a container 149 mounted on a table which can be raised via a piston-and-cylinder device 145. In operation, the table is raised so as to close the valve plate 125 and an inlet valve 54 is closed as shown. The blower and yoke mechanism are then actuated so as to keep the material in the magazine in a fluent condition. Upon rotating the valve 54 so as to bring a bore 61 therein into alignment with the outlet from the magazine, the material is forced by compressed air into the measuring chamber, the air then escaping to atmosphere via the porous liners 82, a porous plate 65 and pipes 80<SP>1</SP>. The valve 54 is then closed and air fed, via a pipe 118, into a housing 116 to act on the diaphragm 114 and so move the wall section 77 of the measuring chamber. The material in the chamber is thereby compressed into a slug so that when the valve 125 is opened the slug of material falls into the container; air may be fed through the pipes 80<SP>1</SP> and porous liners to facilitate the delivery of the slug.
