Abstract: 10,409. Brush Electrical Engineering Co., and Bastian, C. O. May 1. Low-pressure metallic-vapour apparatus.-Apparatus adapted to run at a high temperature comprises an exhausted envelope of fused quartz or other refractory material, a stationary solid anode connected to a leading-in wire through mercury or cadmium or other amalgam, and a mercury or other cathode. The anode I may be a disk of nickel, platinum, iridium, or tantalum, secured by a tang, strip, or wire i of similar material, having a loop through which passes a quartz rod attached to the envelope. The tang &c. dips into mercury or the like, contained in one of two U-shaped extensions B of the envelope. These extensions are sufficiently narrow for the liquid to be retained therein by surface tension, and, below the level of the liquid, have partitions through which pass riveted conductors b, as described in Specification 21,383/05. These conductors are preferably of small diameter and made of an alloy of 9 parts of platinum to 1 part of iridium, and may have wire extensions in the liquid above and below them. The liquid above the partitions may be retained by plaster of paris &e., and is connected in circuit by screws g in caps. The body of the envelope A is tubular, but near the cathode is flattened and optionally extended laterally and thickened. The quantity of mercury or the like is small. The dimensions of apparatus for use in series with a resistance of from 20 to 30 ohms on a circuit of from 200 to 250 volts are given in the Specification. The quantities of liquid at the ends of the envelope may be regulated by receptacles designed as described in Specification 28,147/04, or by a condensing-chamber at the anode end, as described in Specification 18,624/03. Such a chamber may be provided with an adjustable cover, for varying the rate of condensation, or the size of the chamber may be adjusted after the envelope is sealed. The apparatus is started automatically by a device such as that described in Specification 9718/04, the shunt electro-magnet or other motor being optionally cut out of circuit when not required. A spout-like recess may be made in the cathode chamber, to facilitate streaming of the liquid when the apparatus is tilted for starting. Specification 24,023/03 is referred to. According to the Provisional Specification, the anode may be movable through a limited distance, and a thermal time switch may be used for cutting- out the shunt electro-magnet.

Title: Improvements in Machines for Trimming the Edges of the Heels and Soles of Boots and Shoes.
Inventor: VOSE AMBROSE STEVENS
IPC: A43D27/00
Filed: 1910-05-09
Granted: 1910-10-13
Abstract: 11,438. Vose, A. S. May 14, 1909, [Convention date]. Trimming.-Rotary edge-trimmers, in which the shape of the sole is varied by bodily moving a rotatable guard with relation to the cutter by a movable pattern, are provided with means for effecting movement of the pattern in opposite directions, and for automatically stopping it after it has accomplished its work; means are also provided for moving the guard away from the cutter to enable the latter to be readily secured &c. to its shaft, and for manually moving the guard independently of the pattern to enable the shank of the sole to be trimmed; lastly, an improved feed mechanism is provided. The cutter is mounted on a shaft b, Fig. 2, and the guard 10 is rotatably mounted at the lower end of a frame 14 adapted to slide in guides in a plate 16, which is normally stationary but is adapted to be moved upward on a second plate 17 to enable the cutter to make a deep cut when the shank of the shoe is being treated. The plate 17 is pivotally secured to the main frame of the machine to enable the guard to be moved away from the end of the shaft b. The width of sole edge is varied by movement of the frame 14, which is effected by the action of movable right and left patterns 25, 26, Fig. 1, and a co-operating fixed pattern 34, on a roller 45. These patterns are carried by a segment 28, which is movable in the one direction or the other according to which of the patterns 25, 26 is in operative position. The segment 28 is driven by a spur wheel 90, Fig. 4, mounted on a shaft 83, which is driven by bevel gearing 72, 73, 74 from a shaft 54 in gear with the main shaft, the direction of rotation depending upon which of the gears 72, 73 is in gear with the bevel - wheel 74; this is controlled by an operating-handle 82 and a clutch 67. When the pattern 25 or 26 has been moved the desired distance to effect the particular shape of sole required, the clutch 67 is automatically returned to its mid-position by the action of one or other of levers 114, 115, Fig. 4, on the handle 82. These levers are acted upon by a roller 113 carried on a stud 109 mounted on a slide 108 adapted to be moved in a radial slot in a disk 106 secured to the gear 90. The movement of the slide 108 is controlled by a cam disk 112, which can be set according to the size of the work to be operated upon. The work is fed by a gear-driven feed-wheel 160, Fig. 2, mounted on a shaft 161 journaled in a movable slide 162.
