Abstract: 790. Withers, J. S., [Cox, K. C., and Dicketts, J. E.]. Jan. 10. Make-and-break switches, mechanical. - The make-and-break contact 3 of a Thomson or Kelvin " mouse-mill " motor is actuated by a ratchet-shaped cam 1 so that contact is always broken at the same instant, no matter what the duration of the contact may be. The contact 3 is carried by a leaf spring secured to but insulated from a spring-controlled lever 2. A roller 7 on the lever 2 engages with the teeth of the ratchet 1. When the roller 7 is released by a tooth, the contact 3 is suddenly disengaged from the contact-screw 4 by an insulating knob 9 striking the leaf spring. The duration of the contact is varied by adjusting the screw 4. The leaf spring may be mounted on a fixed support, or in its place a spring-controlled rigid lever may be used. An adjustable stop 6 prevents the roller 7 from striking the cam.

Abstract: 863. Cockburn, J. W., Dickson, W. J., Ofield, O. L., and Small, J. D. Jan. 12. Variable-speed friction gearing, suitable for lathes, comprises a pair of rollers 5, Fig. 1, which grip between them a disk 3, which may be either the driving or the driven element. The other extreme element is a pulley 22 on a shaft 16, which is adapted to be operatively connected to either of the rollers 5 for driving in one and in the other direction respectively. The shaft 16 is, for this purpose, mounted in a rocking frame 14, Fig. 4, and carries a toothed gear 18 adapted to be brought into mesh with either of two gears 13 secured to the shafts 6 of the rollers 5. The gear 18 has flanges 19 overlapping the gears 13, so that when the rollers 5 with their shafts and the gears 13 are moved laterally to vary the speed ratio, the gear 18 is caused to move also, sliding on a feather 20 on the shaft 16.

Abstract: 2001. Dehn, F. B., [Alsop Process Co.]. Feb. 8. Coating-machines.-In a machine for cutting- out, pasting, assembling, and compressing lifts for the production of boot-heel blanks, dips 20 upon a rotated head or turret 14 cut out a lift from the leather 59 and carry it round first to be daubed with paste in a receptacle 180, and then to be deposited in a holder and heel-building device 128, 129. At the same time that a rod 53 is raised to effect the cutting-out of one lift, a rod 41 connected to a crank - pin 39 on the main driving - shaft 37 actuates a yoke 95, stop 166, lever 168, and rods 177 to raise the arm 181 of the paste dauber to engage the under surface of a lift carried by a preceding die; a sliding rod 32 also brings down a hammer 31 to engage the spring-controlled ejector 24, 25 in another die, so that the pasted lift carried by this die is deposited in the device 128, 129. In order to separate one built-up heel from the succeeding lifts to be deposited, the operator inserts a shaped metal plate 158 into a carrier 160 taking the place of one of the dies 20 on the turret, and this plate is, in its turn, ejected into the holder 128, 129. For preventing the application of paste to the first lift of each heel and to the metal plates 158, a stud 184 on the turret behind the first die, and a stud 185 behind the carrier 160, are arranged to prevent the full upward movement of the arm 181, the lever 168 being formed in two parts with control springs 173, 174 to provide the necessary flexibility in the mechanism. The turret is mounted on a vertical shaft 7, to which motion is imparted by the engagement of a spring- actuated pawl with a ratchet - wheel 13, the pawl being carried by a bell - crank lever actuated by a spring and returned by a link.
