The edge of a knitted article M Fig. 15, is enclosed by the turned-in free edges of the arms R<SP>1</SP>, R<SP>11</SP> of a Y-shaped binding strip R, and is secured thereto by double-chain stitching. The strip R is folded by a guide which is of Y-shape in cross - section, the ends of the arms of the Y being turned inwardly, and one arm being disposed below the work-supporing surface of the machine. A pair of vertically-spaced horizontal plates 7, 8, Fig. 3, have a closed end 25, and are provided at their free ends with a folding guide P. The latter comprises arms 10 which project from the respective plates first outwardly and then inwardly to be united by a bridge member 14. The lower arm extends beneath the work-supporting surface 33. A rod 11, projecting forwardly from the member 14, carries a curved plate 18 parallel with the outwardly-extending portions of the arms 10. The outer edge R<SP>111</SP> of strip R is guided within the plates 7, 8 by a flat bar 22 extending at right angles from a rod 23 slidable in a lug 24 rigid with the plates, and held in adjusted position by a pivoted latch 30 against the bias of a spring 29. The edge of the article M is guided to the stitching position by the member 14. Plate 8 is attached by a bracket 3 to a vertical front panel K of the machine bed. Panel K is pivoted on a spindle A, and may be tilted by means of a handle 37 to facilitate insertion of the strip R within the guide. The folded strip is guided to the stitching point by an inclined surface 39a carried by a slidable cover 40 affording access to the machine bed. The folded strip enclosing the edge of the article M passes under a presser foot 54 Figs. 26, 27, formed with a needle hole 55 and pivoted at 56 to a support 51 clamped to the presser bar E. The edge of article M adjacent the strip R passes under a presser foot 57 which is pivoted at 58 to a plunger 59 slidable in presser foot 54 and biased downwardly by a spring 60. A spring 61 biases presser foot 57 downwardly. The inner edge of presser foot 57 is formed with a vertical flange 57b adapted to guide the folded edge of the upper arm R<SP>1</SP> of strip R. Co-operating with presser foot 54 is a feed dog 48a Fig. 24, and a pair of feed dogs 48b and 49a disposed one on each side of the needle hole 43 in the throat plate 42. Co-operating with the presser foot 57 is a feed dog 48c rigid with the feed dogs 48a, 48b, 49a, and a differentiallyoperated feed dog 50a. In a modification, Fig. 31, the arms 10 have initially vertically-extending portions, and the plate 18 has a forwardly-extending tongue 64. The outer edge of strip R is guided within plate 7, 8 by a bar 65 carried by a rod 66 slidable within a boss 68 and adjustably fixable therein by means of a screw 71. The outer edge of strip R is also guided, during the sewing operation, by a U-shaped member 77 adjustably mounted on the slidable cover plate 40.

Title: Apparatus for beating gold leaf and such like
IPC: B21C37/02
Filed: 1925-01-30
Abstract: 235,494. Blacker, W. Jan. 30, 1925. Beating.-A machine for beating gold leaf &c. comprises a helved hammer a rotated anvil and a cam acting through a lever and a slide to influence the lateral disposition of the helve to distribute the blows. The metal to be beaten is placed on a pad resting on a wooden, rubber &c. receiver or recessed face in the anvil a which is rotated by bevel gearing from the shaft b driven through worm gearing k<2>, Fig. 3, and variable gearing O of the diving-key type from the main shaft q, driven through a hand-controlled clutch s<1> or by fast and loose pulleys. The helve c fits into a bored socket c<2>, Fig. 7, slidable on two shafts c<3>, c<4> connected by links d. A rod e with upper and lower springs e<1>, e<2> passes through a swivelling die d<1> in the socket c<2>. The rod e is reciprocated to actuate the hammer by the linkage f from a crank disc f<3> on the main shaft. Stroke adjustment is provided at e<3>. The blows are distributed by a cam k on the shaft b, Fig. 7, which acts through bowls j<1>, j<2> on a sliding block, a lever h, and a rod i carrying a flanged boss i<1> which slides the socket c<2> carrying the hammer. A counterweight n maintains the mechanism in engagement with the cam. As the beating proceeds, the fulcrum h<1>, Figs. 2 and 7, of the lever h is raised by a screw h<3> so that the movement of the rod i increases and the blows are distributed more widely. The screw is rotated through bevel gears h<6> and ratchet gearing h<9> by an eccentric on the shaft b. A hand-wheel h<14> reverses the action and lowers the lever fulcrum h<1>. In starting, the hammer is made to deliver a number of blows in one position by providing cut-away portions hx on the lever so that the bowl j<2> does not contact with the lever until it has travelled some distance upwards.
