Title: Improvements in Warp Leasing Machines.
Inventor: FISCHER OTTO
IPC: D03J1/14
Filed: 1909-01-07
Granted: 1910-01-06
Abstract: 1909461. Fischer, O. Jan. 7. [Addition to 7834/07.] Yarns, leasing. -Relates to improvements in the warp-leasing machine described in the parent Specification, in which the warp threads are separately pricked off and are then transferred to two bent-ended spindles. The pricking-off needle 23, Figs. 3 and 7, is made with a wedge-shaped finger terminating in a needle, and is fixed to a lever 88 pivoted to the upper arm 80 of a lever 80, 84. The needle 23 is raised and lowered and the lever 80, 84 is rocked about its pivot 121 by a connecting-rod and eccentric. The lower arm 84 of the lever 80, 84 carries the pivot of a slotted lever 86 provided with a projecting part 87 situated behind the needle 23 and separated therefrom by a narrow gap, into which a warp thread separated by the needle 23 is moved by the wedge-shaped part thereof. The projection 87 ascends with the needle and holds this thread back. A lever 102, slotted at 106 and carried by a pivot 103 on the lever 86, has a wedgeshaped finger 101, which is situated in front of the projection 87 and causes the thread to be separated to assume its proper position or be thrust back so far that the needle 23 cannot prick into the thread. A feeder 40 having vertical movements only is employed, its end being wedge-shaped so as to move the warp thread laterally. The upper warp-guide 13 is depressed by a cam when the threads are in position for being pricked off. An adjustable needle or needles projecting beyond the lower edge of the upper warp guide 13 slightly retard the threads and arrange them in order. After the leasing operation has been completed, a lever 82 is operated and a rod 94 is thereby moved, the inclined part of which raises a pin 96 on the lever 86 against the action of a spring, thus rocking the lever 86, lowering the projection 87, and disengaging the device. Moreover, a pin on the lever 82 rocks a doublearmed lever 98 carrying the lower warp guide 14, which is thereby lowered. The lever 82 also actuates a rod connected to a slidable shaft, which effects the reversal of the machine as described in the parent Specification. The needle 23 may be adjusted by a screw 90 to regulate the gap between this needle and the projection 87. The lever 102 may be vertically adjusted by a screw 105, and it may be horizontally adjusted by a screw 110 working in an eye pivoted to the lever 86; or it may.be connected by a rod to one arm of a doublearmed lever, the other arm of which is connected to the pricking-off needle, so that this needle and the lever 102 may be simultaneously adjusted. The traversing spindle of the leasing- device may have a crank-handle, whereby it may be directly operated.

Title: Improvements in or relating to Machines for Inserting Metallic Fastenings in the Manufacture of Boots and Shoes.
Inventor: PLANT THOMAS GUSTAVE
IPC: A43D71/02
Filed: 1909-07-23
Granted: 1910-07-25
Abstract: 17,191. Plant, T. G. July 23. Slugging.-A machine for inserting fastenings in the manufacture of boots &c. has provision for enabling the driverbar guide to move up and down with the driver - bar to diminish wear, means to adjust an awl - guiding camplate, means to move the awl into substantial alinement with the driver-bar when this is raised and to cause it to be driven into the work, and an improved operating means for the work - feeding mechanism. The driver - bar guide 18 is adjustably secured to an apron 21, which sustains the workplate 2 and is hung from the bearing 22 for the crank-shaft 19 which operates the driver 5. The bearing 22 has a slight up-and-down movement during the rotation of the crank-shaft 19; consequently the driver-bar guide moves up and down with the driver-bar 17, in which the driver 5 is secured. The apron 21 carries a split bearing 240, in which a pin 23 projecting from the driver-bar guide may be adjustably secured. A projection 241 from the driver-bar guide is secured to the apron 21 by means of an eccentric bolt 24, which may be clamped in any angular or axial adjustment in its bearing in the apron by means of a wedge-rod 26 arranged in the apron at right-angles to the bolt 24. By means of these two adjustable fastenings, the driver-bar guide may be adjusted towards or away from the front of the machine, or sideways thereof, to determine the line of motion of the driver. The awl bar 8 carries a pin 16, which is guided by a cam-slot 15 in a cam-plate 14 secured to the apron 21, so that, when the driver-bar is raised, the upward motion of the apron acts through the slot 15 to throw the awl 4 into alinement with the driver, after which it is driven into the work. To enable the awl to be lined up as wear occurs, the cam-plate has a rib 30 which may be fixed in any position in a lateral guideway 320 on the apron by a bolt screwing into the apron and passing through a slot in the rib 30. The usual work-feeding bar 7 is actuated towards the edge of the work against the spring 84 by means of a lever 86 carrying an adjusting screw 98 and pivoted at 87 to the frame. The lever 86 has a cam 88, which is actuated by the cam-shaped end 89 of the usual lever 90, which is operated from wire-feeding devices such as are shown in Specification 3788/91.
