Title: Improvements in or relating to Nailing Machines.
Filed: 1907-11-02
Granted: 1908-09-10
Abstract: 24,276. Heatons, Ltd., and Heaton, W. Nov. 2. Nailing.-Relates to machines of the doubleraceway type for driving loose nails into stock, such as the soles of boots and shoes, and consists in mounting the raceway so that it may be readily detached from the machine, in means for shifting the raceway, and in means for locking it against accidental movement during the driving of the nails. The upper ends 5 of the raceway 1 pass between the ends of the nail-elevating drums 6 and the rounded ends 7 of the nail hopper, and rest upon bosses 4 on the central partition 3 of the hopper. The lower end 8 of the raceway is drilled to pass over a guide rod 9 projecting from the machine frame ; by removing lock-nuts 14 on the end of this rod the raceway can be readily detached from the machine. The raceway is normally held by a spring 11 with one of its shoots registering with the nail passage 12 in the nose 13 ; when the operator moves a key-lever, a wedge-cam 15 acts .on a sliding bar 17 which shifts the raceway so that its other shoot registers with the passage 12. To prevent accidental displacement of the raceway, a screw rod 20 is adapted to press against the bar 17. This rod is coupled up to the driver shaft as to move clear of the bar when the driver rises, but to grip it tightly again when the driver descends. [Reference has been directed under Section 7 of Patents &c. Act, 1907, to Specifications No. 4471, A.D. 1903, and No. 21,171, A.D. 1905, [Abridgment Class Boots &c.].]

Abstract: 16,188. Gustafson, B. July 30. Feeding sheets.-A device for laterally registering sheets of paper &c. comprises a sleeve 2 capable of being clamped to a transverse rod 1 by a bolt 3, and a bracket 6 clamped on a transversely-reciprocating bar 8 andhaving a foot or lower gripper jaw 5 sliding in a slot 4 formed in the sleeve 2. On a pin 9 in the bracket 6 is pivoted an arm 10 provided with a jaw 12, which is normally pressed into engagement with the lower jaw 5 by a spring 14, the tension of which may be adjusted by turning the nut 15. During the inward movement of the bracket 6, a cam-surface 20 on the lever 10 engages a stop 21 on an arm 22 which rests on a shoulder on a.stationary projection 24, thus lifting the jaw 12 clear of the sheet x. At the end of the inward motion, the cam 20 clears the stop 21 allowing the jaws 5, 12 to grip the sheet x and, on the return motion, to draw it up to the stops 28, which are afterwards raised by the engagement of the tails 30 with pins 29 on the bracket 6, so as to avoid mutilation of the stops 28 by the moving sheet of paper. During the outward movement of the grippers, the arm 22 is raised by the camsurface 25.
