Title: Improvements in or relating to Pulling-over and like Machines.
Inventor: BOULT ALFRED JULIUS
IPC: A43D13/00
Filed: 1909-12-15
Granted: 1910-12-15
Abstract: 28,393. Boult, A. J., [United Shoe Machinery Co.]. Dec. 15, 1909. Lasting.-The lasting-mechanism of a pulling- over and lasting machine is provided with adjustable toe clamps, and with wipers guided and positioned by the toe clamps relatively to the plane of the shoe bottom. The invention is particularly applicable to the machine described in Specifications 29,362/09 and 28,394/10. The toe clamps comprise two plates 70, Figs. 4 and 6,. pivotally connected together, and connected individually by a pin and slot 72 to the head of a stem 73, slidably mounted in a plate 62, which is mounted to slide on the lower end of the tacker-arm of the machine; spring plungers 76 tend to hold the clamps in an open position, but allow them to yield, when they engage the work, to conform to the contour of the toe end of the last. The plate 62 is yieldingly upheld by a spring 65, Fig. 3, and is normally held in a retracted position by a spring latch 67; this latch is released by the operator while the machine is at rest after the upper has been positioned and stretched by the grippers, when the plate 62 is pressed forwards by a spring 66 to cause the clamps 70 to clamp the upper against the edge of the last, or against the edge of the sole or insole. The lasting-mechanism proper comprises a toe abutment 82, Figs. 3 and 4, and wiper plates 80, which are carried by the tackerarm in such a way that, when the abutment engages the work, the plates continue to move forwards to wipe the upper over the last. The plates 80 are pivoted to the plate 62 by screws 86, and are formed with curved slots 88 to receive rolls 90 carried by the tacker arm When, on the release of the latch 67, the clamps 70 move forwards to engage the work, the abutment and wipers also advance to the position shown in Fig. 4. The wipers are then adjusted vertically by adjusting the height of the clamps, and when the machine is again thrown into gear, the clamps and abutment are pressed more firmly against the work, and the wipers close over the shoe bottom by the movement of the rolls 90 in the slots 88. Towards the latter part of this wiping action, a middle wiper formed on the underside of the tack block 92, Fig. 3, engages and wipes the upper from the middle of the toe directly backwards.

Abstract: 7868. Barrollier, J. March 29, 1910, [Convention date]. No Patent granted (Sealing fee not paid). Making lamps.-In an apparatus for sealing stems into bulbs, (1) supports for these parts, carried by rotary arms on a central pedestal, can be turned towards a horizontal position to facilitate assembling, (2) each stem is supported by a tube having holes through which compressed air can be blown to remove any excess of glass adhering to the tube, and (3) blowpipe burners can be clamped at any angle, according to the size of bulbs, and can be raised and lowered to play over a zone of glass, or turned aside to allow manipulation of a lamp. In the construction shown, each support h for a bulb and stem is pivoted in a fork k at the end of an arm of a rotary spider, and normally is held upright by a spring catch engaging a projecting rod q, but can be lowered when in the assembling position, as shown at the left of Fig. 1, until arrested by an adjustable stop v. The bulb-support comprises uprights bearing flat rings 8 with gaps to facilitate introduction of the parts; the stem-support is a tube 5 with holes at the end, stepped in another tube, which communicates through the pivots with a compressed-air supply and is closed below by a stopper 6. From the assembling position, each support passes successively between two sets of preliminary heating burners, where it is revolved by rollers touching a disk 10 at the bottom, and then reaches the sealing point, shown at the right hand of Fig. 1, where it is retained by a spring stop engaging the rod q. Burners i, j, which can be clamped at any angle as indicated by full and dotted lines, are carried on two uprights g, one of which passes through the rotary spider; the burners are raised and lowered during sealing by a handlever 14, operating two rocking levers engaging the uprights g at the bottom. This enables large bulbs to be contracted at the neck above the sealing point, for attaching to small stems, and also allows excess of glass to be cut off. Any glass adhering is removed by blowing air through the stem-support 5 by applying a nozzle on a flexible pipe to a hollow trunnion n. Another hand-lever and links serve to turn the uprights g about their axes in order to move the burners aside, allowing a lamp to cool when adjustment is necessary.

Abstract: 9612. Jennings, F. W. April 20. Thermostats.-A Bourdon tube operates two pilot valves to control a diaphragm valve for admitting steam or liquid to a heater or radiator, or for other purposes. A straight tube a, Fig. 4, containing expansible liquid such as alcohol, is located in a heater c, and connected with a Bourdon tube d, Fig. 1, operating two pilot valves n, h through a slotted link f, adjustable pin, and lever g. When the temperature in the heater is below normal, the valve n is opened against the action of a spring p and opens the diaphragm chamber of the main valve l to the atmosphere, thereby allowing springs m to open the valve l to admit heating- fluid. During this time, the valve h is closed, but when the temperature is excessive, the valve h opens and admits water, steam, or other medium under pressure to the diaphragm chamber to close the main valve. The valve n at the same time is closed. Adjustment may be effected by means of the slotted link and pin, or by means of screws r on the lever g. An aperture closed by a plug may be provided in the connexion between the curled tube and the straight tube. A pointer and dial may be provided, and the main valve may be controlled by hand. A flue damper or draught door may be controlled in a similar way.
