Title: Improvements in or relating to Machines for Inserting Fasteners or the like.
Inventor: BOULT ALFRED JULIUS
IPC: A43D69/02
Filed: 1909-04-23
Granted: 1910-05-23
Abstract: 8403. Boult, A. J., [United Shoe Machinery Co.]. April 23, 1909. Loose-nailing.-In a loose-nailing machine of the type described in Specification 3247/08, [Class 17, Boots &c.], the separator, after it has passed behind the end nail, dwells until the end of the driver has risen above the head of the nail, when a second movement of the separator forces the nail into the driver passage. The driver 28, which has a striking cushion 32, is reciprocated by a segment rack 36 operated from a shaft 20 by a cam 46. The cam is formed with a widened portion 54, so that the velocity of the driver may become greater than that due to the positive thrust of the cam. The nails pass down a raceway to a point near the driver guide 60. Below the guide is a nail-receiving throat 62 mounted on a slide 64 and movable with the slide transversely to the feed of the work and to the raceway. The slide 64 is moved by a cam 78 operating a segment rack 70, which engages with a rack on the slide. The nail separator 80 is carried by a bracket 84 adjustably mounted on a cylindrical slide 82 moving in a slideway in the machine head. The slide 82 has socketed within it a spring 88 bearing at one end against the end of the socket and at the other end against a piston 90. A lug 92 on the slide 64 extends upwards through a slot in the slide 82 into a pocket in the piston 90. A yielding forward movement of the separator is thus given when the slide 64 moves forwards. The separator is positively withdrawn with the slide 64 by the lug 92 engaging the end of the slot in the slide 82. In the actual operation of the machine, the driver is lifted to clear the movable throat, which with the separator is retracted while the driver dwells in its partially raised position. The driver rises again and dwells with its end trapping the head of the end nail, while the separator tilts the point into the driver passage. Finally, the driver completes its upward movement, leaving the passage clear for the separator to force forward the nail.

Title: Improvements in Machines for Capping Bottles.
Inventor: LEVEY THOMAS JEFFERSON
Filed: 1910-07-25
Granted: 1911-02-09
Abstract: 17,630. Levey, T. J., Shearer, J. B., Hewitt, L. T., McVeity, J., and Nilsson, M. July 25. Capsules, applying.-Relates to bottle-capping machines of the type in which a metal seal or cap is forced down over a bottle head by means of a reciprocating tubular capping-member split into a number of resilient fingers. According to the present invention, means are provided for positively forcing the resilient fingers radially away from the bottle head after the completion of the capping operation, in order to prevent the fingers from ripping off the cap as they begin to rise. Under these circumstances, very strong spring fingers may be employed, and to prevent breakage of bottles if a predetermined strain is exceeded, a clutch is provided to disconnect the power automatically when a dangerous strain is reached, and then to connect the power immediately ready for the next capping operation. The capping-member consists of the slotted sleeve 49, Fig. 3, provided with projections 52 which snap the cap flange under the bead on the bottle. During this operation, initial pressure on the top 83 of the cap is exerted by a die 65 backed by a spring 68 and having limited movement in a plunger 61, the stem 58 of which is surrounded by a second spring 70, and the final pressure, when the plunger 61 has descended into contact with the part 66 of the die 65, is against both springs. In the above operations, as the parts descend, a weight 73 on a lever 56 pivoted on the plunger stem 58 descends and causes a cam 74 to engage a cut-away portion of the stem 44' of the capping-tool, and locks the part against rising. In the continued descent of the stem 44<1>, cams 51 on the lower end of a sleeve 48 engage a cam-surface 62 on the head of the plunger 61, and so force outwardly the cap-crimping projections 52. As the capping-head rises, the lever 56 is raised by its end 71 engaging a lug on the frame of the machine, and the parts are returned to normal positions by the springs. The capping-head is reciprocated by a rack 32, Figs. 7 and 13, through pinion teeth on a boss 30 loosely mounted on the driving-shaft 2 and formed with an arm 36 adapted to engage and be driven by a spring-controlled dog 17, which is pivoted in a lug 13 fast on the driving-shaft, and engages at its lower end an adjustable spring-controlled trigger 23, also pivoted in the lug 13. In the form of clutch shown in Figs. 7 and 8, if the predetermined strain is exceeded, the dog 17 is forced out of engagement with the trigger 23 and past the nose 39 of the arm 36, the dog and trigger being re-engaged by the spring 18. In the form shown in Fig. 13, a roller 100 on the lower end of the dog 17 runs in a depression in the trigger 103, and the dog never leaves the trigger. The trigger is controlled by a compression spring 106, and its outward movement is limited by an adjustable bolt 109. The spring 111 controlling the dog 17 always tends to press the dog and trigger into engagement.

Granted: 1912-03-14
Abstract: 6393. Wetzler, B. March 14. Cartridge-loading machines.-Relates to sorting and feeding devices for cartridge cases and projectiles. According to the invention, the cartridge cases are taken from a receptacle 5, Figs. 1 and 3, and placed on a plate 6 and alined in grooves 8 by a sweep of the hand; the plate 6 is then tilted about a pivot 7 and the cases fall down glass tubes 4 over teeth 15, Fig. 5, of a comb 16, at the top of a row of hoppers 13. Cases not properly alined on the table 6 are swept away by the hand or thrown aside by guards 10, 11 and fall back into the receptacle 5. A plate 17 provided with recesses IS with or without a central projection 18<1> catches the mouths of the cases that come month forwards but holds away those that come base forwards; the mouths of the latter therefore rest in part over the back 16 of the comb. The comb 16 is now shifted so that the gaps of the comb are substituted for the teeth 15, and the cases thus released fall down the hoppers 13 base first, and into sleeves 25, wherein they are held by a hooked lever 29; to accelerate the fall of the cases, and to hold the next row of cases in position temporarily, a bridge 35 provided with push-pins 36 and with spring grips 40 is depressed simultaneously. Finally the sleeves 25 mounted on a bridge 22 are lowered and the levers 29 deflected by a fixed bar 48 to permit the cases to fall on to the work-table 2; the parts are then returned to the original position. The comb 16 and the bridges 22, 35 are worked by cams 26, 20, 33 and spring- pressed levers and slides. A similar mechanism for supplying the projectiles is placed on the other side of the machine; it differs only in that they are not led to the work-table but to sleeves 149, Fig. 1. which are then lowered over the mouths of the powder-charged cases. Specifications 64/12, 65/12, 66/12, and 67/12, are referred to.

Abstract: 21,827. Hewitt, P. C. Oct. 3. Low-pressure metallic-vapour apparatus. - One or more solid anodes and liquid cathodes are placed in such proximity as to eliminate the luminous part of the vapour column, and a part of the fall of electric pressure which normally occurs in the neighbourhood of the cathode. The distance between the electrodes may be half an inch for 2¢ amperes, and four inches for 120-130 amperes. The total fall of pressure is thus reduced below 8 volts, the fall between electrodes at the usual distances apart being 14 volts. The anode may be a double inverted cup 13, containing a second double cup through which cool water is delivered to two or more inclined nozzles 17 and flows around the bottom of the anode. Between the electrodes is a cooling- device comprising an inverted cup 22 and pipes 23; the use of this device increases the permissible distance between the electrodes. The cathode is water-jacketed. A starting-anode 31 consists of an arm on a hollow horizontal shaft which can be turned from outside the apparatus ; water passes through the shaft and part of the arm and returns through a sheath of quartz or other material. The apparatus is closed by means of a flange 5, rings 4, 6 having bevelled abutting surfaces, an insulator 9 pressed down by a screw cap 10 and packing- ring 11, and a bushing 15.
