Patent GB-191015421-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in or relating to Fastener Inserting Machines.
Inventor: BORDEN WILLIAM HERBERT
IPC: A43D69/02
Filed: 1910-06-27
Granted: 1911-06-27
Abstract: 15,421. Borden, W. H. June 28, 1909, [Convention date]. Loose-nailing. - Fastener-inserting machines in which the work is fed intermittently, are provided with trimming or randing cutters, or with both, which are arranged to travel in a path having a curvature approximating to that of the finished work, and, during their cutting stroke, to move in a direction opposed to that in which the work is fed. The invention is particularly adapted for trimming the heel-seat end of a sole during its attachment to the insole, and is described as applied to a loose-nailing machine of the type illustrated in Specification 1494/93. The trimming-mechanism is formed as an attachment which can be put on to any fastener-inserting machine, and comprises a bracket having lateral concentrically - curved ways 4, 6, Fig. 4, for a carriage 8 carrying a trimming-knife 24 and a gauge or guide 74; this carriage is reciprocated by suitable adjustable connexions with the driving-shaft of the machine. The normal position of the knife 24 is shown in Fig. 6, in which position it trims the work parallel with the line of feed. In addition to this movement, the knife receives a preliminary movement to make a first cut through the work at an angle to the line of its normal movement. For this purpose, the knife-holder 28 is connected to pivoted, spring-controlled, toothed segments 32, 40, Fig. 6, adapted to contact with adjustable stops 46, 56 as the carriage 8 is moved. When the knife has reached its trimming position, the segments are locked against movement by a spring plunger 58 controlled by a thumb-piece 66. Preferably, the actuating- connexions of the knife are so proportioned that the inoperative movement of the knife is greater than the amount of feed; this enables the knife to be drawn back from the closed end of the cut to permit free movement of the work. The under side of the guard - plate 88, Fig. 4, in which the knife works, is formed with a groove 86 to prevent the trimmed-off material from riding up over the knife. The gauge 74, Figs. 4 and 6, is shaped to engage the shoe counter, and is adjustably connected by a set-screw 78 to a carrier 76 pivotally mounted between ears 80 on the carriage 8; springs determine the normal position of the gauge, which is preferably made of brass. Preferably, the attachment is also fitted with a rand trimmer 94, Fig. 6, which is arranged to operate in advance of the knife 24 and to cut a groove in the upper face of the sole in such a position that the knife 24 will travel approximately through the middle of the groove. The knife 94 is furnished with a stem 96, which is adjustably secured by screws 98 to the upper side of the gauge 74. Fig. 8 shows a heel seat after it has been nailed and trimmed.

Title: Improvements in or relating to Recording Mechanism for Meters or like Apparatus.
Inventor: HALL CHESTER IRVING
Filed: 1912-01-03
Granted: 1913-01-03
Abstract: 16,800. Hall, C. I. Jan. 3. Counters with recording - apparatus; zeroizing-mechanism. - In recording - mechanism for electric watt meters and the like adapted to record the rate at which electric energy &c. is consumed, the readings of the type - wheels, which are unrestrained in their forward movement, are recorded at the end of a period of time, and the wheels are then automatically reset to zero by the automatic operation of the recording-mechanism which may also be effected manually but is normally brought about periodically by means of a clock mechanism adapted to release an auxiliary train of wheels and thereby make and break the circuit of an electro - magnet actuating the printing-platen. Means are provided for indicating and recording the number of the record made. The rotation of the meter spindle through a commutator and brushes completes a circuit through brushes 86, 87, 89, Fig. 3, and contact disks 10, 11 to energize an electromagnet 1, Fig. 1, the core of which has a pawl 5 adapted to actuate a ratchet wheel which gears with the units type-wheel. The typewheels are mounted on pivoted arms 15, 16 adapted to be rocked to disengage the actuating- pinions, when the wheels are to be zeroized, by means of the teeth of a ratchet wheel 28 engaging the end of the arm 15. The wheels are provided with gears 22 which mesh with pinions 23 separated by means of springs 25 and rotatably mounted on a sleeve 26, Fig. 4, which is itself rotatably mounted on a spindle 24. Zeroizing is effected by a pawl 34 adapted to actuate the ratchet wheel 28 through gearing 31, 33 and a pinion 27 on the sleeve 26 which rotates the wheels until arrested by a pawl 42. The pawl 34 is secured to an arm 36 connected to the core of an electro-magnet and is actuated thereby on the return of the core to normal position after making an impression. The paper roll and carbon strip are fed at the same time by gearing connected to the pinion 33 on the ratchet-wheel shaft 52. To this shaft is secured a pin-wheel 65, Fig. 1, which engages a star-wheel 67 adapted through a pinion 69 to rotate a pinion 70 secured to a printing- wheel 71, which gives an indication of the number of the record made. A pointer 74 moving over a fixed index 75 gives the number of the next meter reading to be recorded. The contact mechanism, Fig. 6, which is controlled by the clockwork, comprises a conductive disk or segment 105 and an insulating segment 106 on a spindle 109 adapted to be rotated when a pin on one of the wheels is released from a lever 124 controlled by a ratchet-wheel 127 mounted on the minute spindle of the clock. This ratchet-wheel rocks the lever and thereby through an arm 120 disengages the end of a latch or detent 116<1> from a disk on the spindle 109. Further movement of the lever 124 moves its end 123 away from the pin 122, which is then free to allow the wheels and segment to rotate until arrested by the detent 116'.
