Patent GB-190917809-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in or relating to Work-supports for Boots and Shoes.
Inventor: BOULT ALFRED JULIUS
IPC: A43D5/02
Filed: 1909-07-31
Granted: 1910-07-28
Abstract: 17,809. Boult, A. J., [United Shoe Machinery Co.]. July 31. Last-supports for hand work.-In a last-support having a heel-rest adjustable in width and a toerest adjustable relatively to the heel - rest the adjustment of one of these devices is caused to regulate the adjustment of the other. The presence of a last upon the support may lock both adjustments. As shown, the heel-rest is composed of two members 8 pivoted longitudinally in a base 1 and having downward projections 10 which embrace a wedge-shaped member 28, operatively connected to the toe-rest. A spring 14 tends to open the heel-rest and cause the members 10 to grip the wedge, the coacting surfaces being preferably corrugated. The toe-rest 20 is pivoted to a support 16, which is itself pivoted to the base 1 at 18 so as to be capable of longitudinal adjustment. The wedge-member 28 is pivoted at 26 to the toerest support. Adjustment of the toe-rest consequently varies the position of the wedge, which is provided with a stop-member 30, and alters the adjustment of the heel rests, the work-engaging faces of which are flared upwardly and preferably arranged to converge rearwardly so as to form a substantially flat engagement with the sides of any size of work. The presence of the work upon the support tends to force the heel-rest members apart and locks the device. To maintain parallelism between the toe-rest and the surface of the work, a rod 34 is socketed between the rear portion of the toe-rest and the wedge-member, and a spring pin 40 in a recess in the toe-rest support 16 is arranged to bear on the front portion of the toerest. In a modification, the heel rest members may be operatively connected to the toe-rest and connected to each other by a spring which tends to draw them together. The adjustment of the heelrest then effects that of the toe-rest.

Presses, cylinder and piston; safety devices. -A control device for hydraulically - operated apparatus such as Bessemer converters comprises an auxiliary cylinder in which the fluid under pressure before being admitted to the working cylinder is obliged to move a loaded control piston, which, in moving, operates an auxiliary distributor and allows the pressure fluid to enter the working cylinder. The device is placed between the principal distributor and the hydraulic piston to be operated, so that, in the event of a rupture of the pipes &c. conveying the fluid, the hydraulic operating-piston is locked in position. Fig. 1 shows the application of the apparatus to a Bessemer converter. The piston 3 working in the cylinder 4 is fed with fluid through the ports 5, 6, the fluid being led from the accumulator &c. 11 through the main distributor 8, pipes 9, 10, and the control device 7. The control device is shown in Figs. 3 and 4. The fluid enters the ports 16, 17 from the pipes 9, 10, and by means of the passages 19, may raise either of the loaded pistons 12, 13, which, by means of the levers 23, actuate the valve 26 to admit the fluid from the pipes 9, 10 to the ports 5, 6. Each piston is loaded with a force slightly smaller than the fluid pressure. The rods of the pistons 12, 13 engage moreover at the end of their strokes with adjustable dash-pistons 32 resting on air-cushions to prevent shock to the control pistons.

Abstract: 26,762. Bloxam, A. G., [Rheinische Metallwaaren-und Maschinenfabrik]. Nov. 17. Breech actions, sliding breech-block.-Relates to automatic guns having a fixed barrel and a positive lock for the breech - block, and consists in unlocking the breech by a momentum-block, which, after the discharge, recoils with the whole gun and then when the recoil of the barrel, together with the breechblock locked thereto, is checked, continues its rearward motion and unlocks the breech. In a modification, the rearward motion of the momentum block is assisted by a spring which is released by the discharge, or directly by the operation of the firing - mechanism. In the construction shown in Figs. 1 and 4, the momentum - block consists of the rear part c of the breech-block the front part a being locked to the breechbody by transverselysliding bolts e, h. For operating the bolts, the block c carries a vertical pin w which engages inclined slots in the bolts as shown, in connexion with a slightly different mechanism, in Fig. 12. A modification in which a reinforcing spring, brought into action by the discharge, is employed is shown in Figs. 8 and 12. The spring d is inserted between the breech-block a and a sleeve f carried by the block c. A pawl u, Fig. 8, pivoted in the sleeve f normally engages a notch in the breech-block a and prevents expansion of the spring d. A short space is left, as shown in Fig. 12, between the two parts a, c. On the discharge, the block c moves forwards relatively and takes up this short space, an inclined face at the rear of the breech-block a depresses the pawl u and sets free the sleeve f which then moves backwards with the block c and withdraws the locking-bolts e, h. The spring d is recompressed, at the end of the stroke, by means of an annular extension at the end of the breech casing, this extension engaging the rear end of the sleeve f. The pawl u may be liberated by the firing-hammer, or by the firing-pin, or by means of mechanism directly actuated from the trigger blade.

Inventor: FLOCK HERMANN
IPC: B44C3/08
Filed: 1911-07-12
Granted: 1912-04-25
Abstract: 16,128. Flock, H. July 12. Printing processes; printing and embossing surfaces.-Relates to the production of placards, signs, &c. by embossing metallic or coloured paper or a layer of thin metal by means of a counterdie formed of a deeply engraved metal plate in which the designs are arranged in intaglio and in their natural position. According to the present invention, the relief die, which is to be applied to the face of the material to form the design, is prepared from the counterdie in a substance capable of subsequent hardening, and, when set, a layer of smooth or glossy paper is applied to the face of the relief die so that it does not affect the polish of the material which is embossed. The placard may be completed by a celluloid, gelatine, or like cover, which is printed on by the raised parts of the metal counterdie, and thus serves to hide all parts of the embossed sign except the actual intaglio embossed portions.
