Inventor: RUSHTON THOMAS HENRY
IPC: A63C19/10
Filed: 1909-06-15
Granted: 1910-01-06
Abstract: 13,993. Rushton, T. H. June 15. Skating-rinks.-In addition to the usual ground floor A, roller-skating rinks are built with one or more upper floors or balconies B, each floor or balcony being connected to the next above and below by one or more tracks C, E of sufficiently easy gradient to allow the skaters to ascend or descend. The top floor may be provided with a sliding roof so as to allow it to be converted from a closed to an open rink at will.

Granted: 1910-08-18
Abstract: 16,353. Sterne, L. Jan. 13, 1910. Pneumatic springs.-Relates to springs for motor-cars and other vehicles, of the type in which the compressed air is contained in flexible envelopes which are immersed in liquid contained in a cylinder provided with a piston. According to the invention a double piston is arranged to work between two sets of cushions located at opposite ends of the cylinder, so that the cushions at one end serve to take up the reactive expansion of the cushions at the other end. A double piston c, e is oscillated in a cylinder a from a shaft j connected by links to the axle. The cylinder contains glycerine, water, or other liquid, in which are immersed balls or containers g charged with air. The piston c may be of less diameter than the piston e in order to give less resistance in one direction of movement than in the other. The shaft j is journaled in a stuffing-box o connected to a removable plate q. The containers g may be arranged in chambers set at an angle to the walls of the cylinder, for example they may be arranged in a series of radial pockets or bags provided on the cylinder. Composite springs.-The shaft j of the pneumatic cushion described above may be provided with an arm p which is connected by a link to the ordinary vehicle spring. Connexions and attachments applicable generally for tensile and compressive springs.-The pistons c, e of the pneumatic cushion described above are oscillated by a forked arm l, which is connected to a shaft j and is formed with slots m engaging a pin n in the pistons. The shaft j passes through a stuffing-box o and is provided with an arm p, which is connected by a link to the vehicle spring.

Title: Improvements relating to Apparatus for Filling Boot and Shoe Bottoms.
IPC: A43D25/14
Filed: 1910-02-09
Granted: 1910-12-15
Abstract: 3220. Livingston & Doughty, [North American Chemical Co.]. Feb. 9. Applying filling-material. - Apparatus for filling shoe bottoms as described in Specification 17,653/06 is constructed so as to separate from a mass a sufficient quantity of filling material for one shoe, and to deliver the separated quantity into the shoe bottom under the control of the operator. In the form shown in Fig. 1, the cakes or loaves 6 of filling material are inserted through a door 5 on to a skeleton' shelf 7 in the steam-jacketed reservoir 2, where they gradually soften and fall into the melted mass beneath. The melted material passes down to ,the outlet end 9 of the reservoir, aided at intervals by a treadle-operated plunger 10. Below the outlet end is a rotatable separator 13 formed with four pockets 15 of the general contour of a shoe bottom, each pocket being provided with an adjustable false bottom 16 to regulate the quantity delivered to each shoe. The adjusting- means shown consist of cam-disks 21 on the ends of a sleeve 22, the cams being slots which engage with projecting lugs 17, 18 on the false bottoms. The disks 21 are secured in their adjusted position by clamping-screws. The lower end of the separator is normally closed by the spring-controlled slide 12. In operation, the toe of the shoe is placed against the lug 29 on the slide 12, and the slide is pressed back to allow the filler material to fall into the shoe bottom beneath; when the slide reaches its fully-open position, it actuates a tapping-lever 25, which, by striking the lug 18, aids in discharging the material. The shoe is then withdrawn under the levelling-roll 31 &c., and the scrapers 33, which remove surplus material, the slide 12 being automatically closed by its spring 30 as the shoe is withdrawn. For the purpose of applying an additional heat to the material, the levelling-roll 31 is mounted ou and heated by a steam-tube 32. A shield 43 of asbestos &c. is provided to protect the operator. Fig. 8 shows a modified form of separator, in which a closing-plate 36, at the delivery end of the reservoir, and a separating- knife 37 heated by a steam-pipe 39 are pivoted at 35, and are adapted to be swung laterally by pressing the shoe against the projection 41 on the plate 36, the movement being limited by the stop 40. The knife 37 is parallel to the plate 36, and a sufficient distance above it to cut off the desired quantity of material.

Abstract: 17,636. Dunn, A. C. C. July 25. Stop-mechanism. - In a time-recording and signalling apparatus, principally for use in games, means are provided whereby the time is recorded and the signal to cease play is given independently of the referee, while the indicator is directly or indirectly under his control, so that it can be stopped or started at any moment to allow for predetermined or accidental periods of rest. The invention is shown as adapted for football. The dial is divided into forty-five divisions, and a single hand c completes a revolution in forty-five minutes. The mechanism may be stopped for any period of rest by depressing a rod d, a pin on which then engages a fly-wheel on the hair-spring spindle. On the completion of the revolution of the hand, an electric circuit is closed by the clock-work, and an audible signal to cease play is sounded. The apparatus may be of any size, the dial being either mounted in a prominent position, or made small in the form of a watch; in the latter case, the alarm is dispensed with.

Title: Improvements in Lubricating Pumps.
IPC: F16N13/14
Filed: 1910-10-07
Granted: 1911-03-16
Abstract: 23,251. Bosch, R., [Firm of]. Dec. 10, 1909, [Convention date]. Pumps with reciprocating and rotating or oscillating pistons.-In lubricating-pumps of the kind in which the pistons, in addition to a reciprocating movement, are given a rotary or oscillatory movement and have cavities which connect the cylinders with the reservoir or feedpipes, the cylinders are arranged concentrically around the driving-shaft, and the pistons are actuated by a swash-plate. The pumps bare arranged concentrically about an axis A, the pistons being reciprocated by an axially-acting cam c on the shaft A which contacts with flanges b<1>, b<2>. Between these flanges, pinions s' are mounted which gear with projections d, d<1> situated at the highest and lowest points of the cam c at each half-revolution of the cam. As the pistons rotate, cavities g, g<1> therein come opposite the suction ports f, f<1> during the suction strokes, and are out of register on the delivery strokes. Four cavities and four ports may he provided if desired, and the suction ports may be connected with separate oil-reservoirs. In a modification, the piston-heads have yokes, of which one edge bears on a radiallyacting cam-surface on the main cam, and the other edge contacts with the inner surface of a fixed ring. Rotation of the. cam therefore produces an oscillatory motion of the pistons, which puts the cavities into and out of register with the suction ports.
