Title: Improvements in or relating to Pulling-over or like Machines.
IPC: A43D13/00
Filed: 1911-12-04
Granted: 1912-11-28
Abstract: 27,154. Harris, F., Bates, A., and British United Shoe Machinery Co. Dec. 4. Lasting.-A pulling-over or like machine is provided with means for inserting a number of fasteners each at a different distance from the adjacent part of the margin of the tread face of the last, and all approximately opposite the same part of the margin. It is also provided with knives which operate through the gripper jaws to slit the upper on either side of the position where the tacks are to be driven. The invention is shown as applied to the toe-gripper mechanism of a pulling-over machine of wellknown construction. The lower end of the driver-bar A is formed with an off-set portion A<4>, in which are mounted, one behind the other, two adjustable drivers C, C' ; these are guided by rollers and cam slots to move angularly downwards as the bar A descends, driving the tacks out of spring-pressed back pockets N, M into the shoe. Instead of being driven tandem-wise, the back tack may be driven behind and to one side of the front one. The knives K for slitting the upper, of which only one is shown, are pivoted on the same stud B<2> as the pincer jaw B', and are adapted to operate through slots in this jaw. The knives are normally held open and inoperative by the engagement with projections K<1> of a roller B<3> on the pincer actuating-slide B<4>; when the slide rises, the knives are released and are then struck by an abutment L<1> on the wiper L, as the latter moves over the shoe with the tacking-mechanism in the usual operation of the machine. This causes the knives to move forward and slit the pulled-over upper, after which the drivers descend and drive the tacks, as above described. Alternatively, the knives may be operated by an abutment on the tacker, or by the descent of the driver.

Title: Improvements in Fire-escapes and Analogous Appliances.
Inventor: DAVIDSON ROBERT MILLINGTON
IPC: A62B1/14
Filed: 1912-03-12
Granted: 1912-05-30
Abstract: 6150. Davidson, R. M., and Evans, T. F. March 12. Runners or friction blocks.-Relates to fireescapes and analogous appliances in which slides and wire ropes are employed. Fig. 1 shows a slide having grooved rollers c, c<1>, c<2> carried by studs on a frame a, from which extends an arm d with an eye e for the attachment of a belt, bag, seat, &c., to accommodate the person &c. to be lowered. A stud f provides an entrance gap for the rope g which gap is equal to or less than the rope diameter. The rope also passes through a gap in a hand-guard h. The parts are so arranged that the appliance will not slide upon the deflected rope until it is loaded by a person or object of predetermined weight. In the case of very heavy weights, drag is applied to the rope hanging below the roller c<2> in order to control the descent. Figs. 3 and 4 show another form in which the rope is deflected and gripped by friction linings n secured in tubes l against upward movement by means of flanges or ribs m. The linings may be of asbestos cloth interwoven with copper wire. The tubes and linings are open at opposite sides, Fig. 4, the gap being equal to or less than the diameter of the rope. Other similar forms of slide are described in which the' rope is deflected and gripped by three friction tubes, by one roller and a friction tube, and by two friction tubes and an interposed roller. Two or more of the slides may be used in succession on one rope. When two such slides are used, they may be secured to the opposite ends of a wire rope arranged to travel over a pulley or snatch-block secured near the window or other point of support of the slide-rope, so that as one slide descends the other ascends. Similar slides in which the wire rope is deflected less abruptly may be fixed to window-sills and the rope allowed to travel through the slide. An endless rope may then be used, belts, bags, &c, being attached by gripping-tongs &c. to enable a succession of persons to descend; or a rope may be allowed to pass backwards and forwards alternately through the slide. To facilitate the application of the slides to a rope, the rope may be made thinner at one or more parts, for example by the removal of the hemp core at these parts.

Granted: 1913-03-13
Abstract: 17,761. Fellenberg, W. July 31, 1911, [Convention date]. Insulators. -Puncture of high-tension insulators for transformers, machines, switches, &c. is prevented by metal rings, of any cross-section, embedded in the insulator and so disposed as to divert the sparking-path from the insulator substance. In the three-shed insulator shown in Fig. 1, three embedded rings a are employed. A protecting-ring b is also used in large insulators. Discharges from the line are thereby deflected from the direction of puncture towards the support or the metal plate c of the support. Instead of complete rings, separate portions d, Fig. 4, may be employed, in order to deflect the sparking path to some particular region on the insulator away from adjacent apparatus.
