Patent GB-190906395-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in or relating to Heel-attaching Machines.
Inventor: BOULT ALFRED JULIUS
IPC: A43D79/00
Filed: 1909-03-17
Granted: 1910-03-17
Abstract: 6395. Boult, A. J., [United Shoe Machinery Co.]. March 17. Coating-machines.-A heel-attaching machine for boots and shoes is provided with means for applying a predetermined quantity of cement to the seat of a heel, before it is attached by nails. The cement-applying means is arranged so that the portions of the heel adjacent to the breast are free from cement. The heel, which is secured, tread upwards, to a sliding carrier e, is moved breast foremost until it is directly over the heel of the jack c, when the cross-head of the machine is lowered, and the heel, still in the carrier, pressed against the heel-seat of the shoe, after which the nails are driven. As the carrier moves forwards, an adjustable pin q secured to it presses against a roll p carried on an arm m<2> of a bell-crank lever m<2>, m, m<1>. As the lever swings round, a rod n on its other arm releases a rod i from a pawl k. The rod i carries an absorbent roll g, which can be lowered into a tank d<1> of cement kept at a constant level on the bird-fountain principle. When the pawl is released, a spring j forces the rod i upwards, so that the roller presses against the seat surface of the heel, thus applying cement. A lever s, pivoted to a bracket r, is connected by a rod t to the slide of the carrier, the vertical distance between the lever and the slide being adjustable by a pin-and-slot connexion. When the heel is depressed to bear against the heel-seat, the carrier and its slide are depressed also, and so the lever is swung downwards. The end of this lever engages a stop on the rod i, forcing it downwards, and thus forcing the roll a desired depth into the cement. As the carrier rises, the rod is engaged by the pawl. On drawing back the carrier to insert a fresh heel, the bell-crank lever is brought to its original position by a spring. Top-lifts or the heel-seats of shoes may be similarly cemented.

Abstract: 14,383. Castle, F., Riddiford, E. J., Bidwill, W. E., and McDermott, L. L. June 14. Fire-alarm systems.-The line circuit d is normally closed, and includes a battery g at the protected station B and relays h, j at the central station A. The battery g is strong enough to actuate the relay j, but not the relay h. When a local circuit a is closed, by a thermostat or otherwise, a relay c is energized and throws on to the line an additional battery e, causing the relay h to be actuated, and an alarm circuit is closed through the battery o, bell k, and indicator m. If the line d is deprived of current by a fault, the relay j is de-energized and closes the alarm circuit through a second indicator p. A battery can then be thrown in by a hand switch at the central station to determine whether the fault is due to crossed wires, in which case the relay j becomes re-energized, or to a break in the line. The circuit a may be normally closed.

Abstract: 12,448. MÚnard, P. A. May 24, 1910, [Convention date]. Aerial machines without aerostats; planes, arrangement of; steering and balancing.-In a monoplane having a pair of supporting-planes arranged to be adjusted in incidence either in the same or in opposite directions, the adjustment of incidence is accompanied by a longitudinal movement of the plane designed to keep the centre of pressure coincident with the centre of equilibrium, and the adjustment of the planes in opposite senses is effected either manually or automatically for obtaining lateral balance. Similar adjustment of a tail-plane may be effected either separately or in conjunction with the adjustments of the main planes. Figs. 3 and 7 show the gear for operating the main planes. The inner ribs 16 of the planes are formed with slots having rack portions 18 engaging pinions 19, which are mounted on transverse shafts 17 and serve to move the planes longitudinally, the adjustment of incidence being obtained by constraining the rear ends of the planes to move in slotted guides 39. The shafts 17 are provided with pulleys 20, which are connected by ropes 26 to pulleys 27, 28, the former of which may be rotated by a hand-wheel 40 so as to adjust the planes in the same sense. Adjustment in opposite senses is obtained by rocking a cross-bar 21, connected to the shafts 17, about a pivot 22 by means of a hand-wheel 25, Figs. 5 and 6. This adjust ment in opposite senses also occurs automatically when the plane at one side is subjected to a greater pressure than that at the other side, and consequently rocks about its pivot 30. The tail-plane comprises a pair of flaps 33 hinged about axes 34 and connected together by a cross-bar 35, which is connected to a tube 36 and is rocked to turn the flaps in opposite directions by means of a rope passing over pulleys 45, 37 operated by a hand-wheel 42. The tail-plane is adjusted in incidence about hinges 32 by means of ropes and pulleys 51 . . . 56, the ropes being connected to an arm 57 and operated by a lever 49, which is moved by sliding the wheel 42 on its shaft. The hand-wheels 25, 42 may be locked together by a pawl and ratchet-wheel.
