Abstract: 13,719. Gunton, O. E., and Hickson, G. B. June 11. [Cognate Application 26,930/09.] Vertical-cutter type for cutting sheet material in direction of feed.-Relates to a machine for trimming resilient and like circular pads for boots and shoes, in which the pads are fed successively to a series of holders, which carry them to a cutter and are rotated in that position to enable the cutter to trim their edges. The pads 2, Fig. 5, are placed on vertically reciprocable plates 35 carried on an intermittently rotating table 34, which carries them into a position to be engaged by chucks 15 mounted on an intermittently-rotating turret 12, by which they are conveyed to a rotary or other cutter 3. The pads are raised to the chucks 15 by a rock-lever which engages arms 39 on the shanks 36 of the pad-supporting plates 35. The chuck 15 comprises jaws 16 which are normally drawn inwards through worm gearing 17, 20 actuated by a spring-supported spindle 19. This spindle 19 is depressed as it reaches the workreceiving position by a cam 23, thereby opening the jaws 16 to receive the pads. The cam 23 is then raised by a rock-lever to release the jaws 16 to grip the pads. Each pad holder is provided with a drum &c. 31 which, in the cutting position, is engaged and driven by a corresponding drum &c. 27 carried by a spring-controlled arm 29. The feed-table 34 and turret 12 are both driven simultaneously by ratchet mechanism operated from a worm-wheel 41, Fig. 7, through a crank-disk 46, which carries a spring-pressed click 48 and is engaged by a tooth 49 on the worm-wheel. An arm 70 attached to the click 48 is adapted to be rocked by a movable stop 69 to disengage the crank-disk from the worm-wheel. The bearings of the cutter spindle 4 are carried on a rock-shaft which is adjustable to vary the amount of projection of the cutter above the table. An adjustable grinding-disk 71, driven from the cutter shaft through a hand-actuated clutch, is provided for sharpening the cutter. A modified means for rotating the pads comprises a driven wheel which projects through the table and engages the pad when the latter reaches the cutting position. In a modification, the turret 12 is replaced by a single pad-holder carried on a swinging arm, and the holder may be rotated as before by a projecting feed-wheel or from a pulley &c. on the fulcrum of the swinging arm through a clutch which is controlled automatically thiough the movements of the swinging arm. Reference has been directed by the Comptroller to Specification 7277/88, [Class 125, Stoppering &c.].

Patent GB-191003346-A (GB)
Title: A Self-guiding Toy.
Inventor: COOPER HENRY ALEXANDER
IPC: A63H11/10
Filed: 1910-02-11
Granted: 1910-11-03
Abstract: 3346. Cooper, H. A. Feb. 11. [Cognate Application, 7473/10.] Mechanical toys.-A mechanical toy is so constructed that when by its movement its front part is brought partly or wholly beyond the surface on which the toy travels, the progress of one side is automatically checked and the whole thereby caused to turn, so that the toy automatically moves away from the edge. The invention is illustrated as applied to a mechanical beetle having feelers a, a<1> extending in front. The feeler system is pivoted on a shaft a<11>, and the front part of the toy is somewhat heavier than the back part so that normally the feelers press upon the surface travelled over. If one or both feelers in the form shown in Figs. 1 and 3 come over the edge of surface, the weight of the front part of the body is taken by a tilting foot b, which operates a loose link c to tilt the feeler system and so arrest the driving-wheel B on one side or the other by locking a corresponding pinion d and wheel D by means of one of the detents f, Fig. 3, which are connected to the shaft a<11>. In another form, Fig 4, a pair of driving- wheels G are mounted on a spindle concentric with the spindle of a pair of star-wheels H, adapted to lift the driving-wheels above the surface alternately. The teeth of the wheels H break joint so that one driving-wheel is not lifted until the other is down. On the tilting of the feeler system, projections from the shaft a<11> lock one or other of the wheels H. In the form shown in Fig. 7, one driving-wheel I is driven through a train of gearing, while the other I<1> is loose on the spindle. The feelers are fixed. When one or both feelers a cease to be supported, the weight of the front part is taken by a disk M loose on its spindle. The additional friction retards the wheel I<1> so that the toy turns. In this form, the toy will only turn in one direction. A second train of gearing drives a fly or governor L. In all forms of the toy, the checking of the side wheels may be caused to brake a suitable governor. One form of governor comprises flapping wings driven from the main gear-wheels.

Title: Improvements in and relating to Breech Loading Ordnance.
Inventor: DAWSON ARTHUR TREVOR
IPC: F41A5/32
Filed: 1910-03-16
Granted: 1911-04-18
Abstract: 6663. Dawson, Sir A. T., and Buckham, G. T. March 16. Ordnance breech mec h a n i s m . - Relates to ordnance of the semiautomatic type in which the breech - block is opened and closed by a casing having rack teeth gearing with a toothed segment on the blockactuating spindle, the casing containing a helical spring and being under the control of a pawl or the like carried by the cradle, so that, on the run-out, the casing is displaced to open the breech, and to stress and cock the spring, which spring, when released, closes the breech. According to the present invention, the semi-automatic gear comprises a telescopic casing containing the spring and having a box-like extension which encloses a toothed segment on the block-actuating spindle, the casing having a projection with which the hinged pawl engages to stress the spring, until released by a tripping - piece on the toothed segment. In the arrangement shown in Figs. 8 and 9, the spindle C<Î> is formed with a toothed sector C<5> and a tripping-piece c<5> to co-operate with the hinged pawl d<3>. The helical spring D is contained within a casing comprising two telescopically-arranged portions D', D<2>, the portion D<1> being fixed, and the portion D<2> having internal teeth d<2> on an extension to gear with the sector C<5>. A projection D<3> engages the hinged pawl d'. In operation, for semi-automatic working, the pawl d' assumes the position shown in Fig. 8 as the gun recoils. When the gun is running out, the pawl d<3> engages the projection D<3>, and thereby rotates the spindle C<Î> to open the breech, the tripping-piece c<5> coming into action before the end of the run-out to release the pawl d<3>, which then rides above the projection D' due to the additional movement of the gun. When the gun is to be used as a quickfirer, the spindle C<Î> is operated by the hand-lever. The movement of the portion D' compresses the spring and causes the sleeve D<5> to project beyond the casing D<1>. The sleeve D<5> is then rotated upon its bolt D' to the position shown in Fig. 9, and a split pin d<5> is passed through the bolt and sleeve. In any subsequent operation of the mechanism by the hand-lever, the spring D acts as a buffer. A catch is provided by means of which the handlever may be locked to, or disengaged from, the spindle C<Î> by the motion of an indicator lever.

Abstract: 9086. Feld, W. April 14, 1909, [Convention date]. Naphthalene.-When washing out naphthalene from water-saturated gases, the gases are superheated above their dew-point of water-saturation so as to avoid the formation of water-fog, the presence of which prevents a complete separation of the naphthalene. The heating may be effected by contact with steam pipes, or by a counter current of the hot gases from the ovens or retorts, or by introducing into the gases similar or extraneous gases or vapours, which are heated above the dew-point of the gases and are not saturated with water. Any suitable solvent may be used for washing out naphthalene, but it is preferred to use tar or tar oils such are obtained in a previous treatment of the gas.
