Patent GB-191029089-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in or relating to Edge-setting Burnishing or other Machines for use in the Manufacture of Boots and Shoes.
Inventor: RICHARDSON JOHN HARNDEN
IPC: A43D95/24
Filed: 1910-12-14
Granted: 1911-06-21
Abstract: 29,089. Richardson, J. H. Dec. 27, 1909, [Convention date]. Burnishing.-Fig. 1 shows a forepart burnishing-machine which, in construction and operation, is substantially the same as that described in Specification 27,346/04. Owing to the difference in length of the two sides of shoe sole, it is found that the burnishing-tool 4, when set to start its operation at the junction of the forepart and shank on the one side of the shoe, will overrun this point on the other side, and enter the shank, and as the work is at all times held up to the tool by the weights 18, 19, this latter point .will be rounded off. This is detrimental to the appearance of the shoe, and to prevent it, the machine is, according to the present invention, modified so that the engagement of the work and tool is interrupted when this point is reached in the movement of the shoe in the one direction, and made again at this point on the return movement of the shoe. To effect this, the main shaft 34 is fitted with a cam 54, which is set so that, when the point referred to is reached, it will actuate a brake arm 38, Figs. 2 and 3, to force a serrated brake shoe 46 into engagement with a toothed portion formed on the rod 16 which carries the weight 18. This action, which takes place against the pressure of a spring 50, stops the movement of the rod 16 and consequently relieves the pressure of the shoe against the tool; when the same point is reached on the return movement of the shoe, the cam 54 releases the brake arm and the engagement of the shoe and tool is again made. The point at which this separation and re-engagement are effected may be varied by changing the angular position of the cam 54 on its shaft. The machine is shown as fitted with two such devices, to enable it to be used for rights and lefts. The two devices are connected together so that the movement of the one into operation throws the other out of operation.
Patent GB-191029437-A (GB)
Title: Improved Bar Bending Machine.
Inventor: HILL JOSEPH WILLIAM
IPC: B21D7/08
Filed: 1910-12-19
Granted: 1911-12-14
Abstract: 29,437. Hill, J. W. Dec. 19. Angular bending and curving.-In a machine for bending metal bars of various sections to any curve or any bevel or for bevelling during bending, the bar is placed between two pairs of bending-rolls, each pair of which is mounted on one of a pair of tables, which are geared together to rotate in opposite directions. The tables 1, 2, Figs. 1 and 12, are rotated by a worm 8 and segments 12, 13 to such a position that the intersection 74 of the lines 72, 73 drawn through the axes of the pairs of rolls 14, 15, 16, 17 forms the centre of the curve desired. The pairs of rolls are driven in the same direction from the main shaft by bevel-gearing, a spur-wheel 30, spur-wheels 31, 32, pinions 33, 34 and bevel gears, which drive the shafts 41, 42 carrying right and left handed worms engaging worm-wheels on the rolls. The pass of the rolls is adjusted by a screw spindle 22 engaging nuts 20, 21 connected to the stationary axes 18, 19 of the rolls. Each roll comprises a lower portion rotating on a bushing on the axis, and the upper portion consists either of a thick circular plate connected to the lower portion by a pin and also fitting the bushing on the axis, or of a series of thin circular plates 51, the eccentricity of which may be adjusted to suit or to bend the bar to the particular bevel. In this case, each plate is driven from the lower adjacent plate by a pin-and-slot connexion, and ring bearings 52 are provided which loosely embrace the axes 18, 19. Each bearing is internally furnished with trunnions which pass into slots 54 in one or a pair of levers 55, 56, which are fulcrumed in the fixed axes. The levers of each roll of a pair are connected to those of the other roll by links 59, 60, which carry a nut 70, by means of which the eccentricity of the plates may be adjusted through a screw 61 supported in hearing-plates 64, 65 fixed to the axes 18, 19. Plates 68, 69 pressed down by screws 67 prevent the plates of the bending rolls from rising out of position. A varying bevel is produced in the flanges of the bar by turning the rods 61 while bending is in progress. The machine may be used merely to bend the flanges of an angle-bar by rotating the rolls with the tables fixed in the position shown in Fig. 1, or by using only one pair of rolls. One roll of each pair may be driven by frictional contact with the work.

Title: Improved Means for Controlling the Supply of Fluid to Winding Engines and the like.
Inventor: COCKBURN DAVID
IPC: B66D5/26
Filed: 1911-10-20
Granted: 1912-10-10
Abstract: 23,163. Cockburn, D., and MacNicoll, D. Oct. 20. Stop-gear.-Relates to means for controlling the supply of fluid to winding and like engines, of the kind in which a combined double-beat throttle and governing-valve A and a fluidoperated device V controlling the brake-actuating means act in conjunction with pilot or control valves N, c operable through a lever t<2> by overwind - preventing apparatus or by a governor. The pilot valve N, which is operated by the governor at any part of the wind if the speed becomes excessive or prior to the valve c during operation of the overwinding gear, is connected by a pipe M to the lower end of the chamber H, in which moves a plunger G on the rod E of the main valve in such a manner that, when the valve N opens a pipe M to the exhaust port O, the valve A throttles or cuts off the supply of pressure fluid. The brake is normally held off by pressure fluid beneath the piston T moving in a cylinder S communicating by a pipe b with the pilot valve c. A valve e is provided for releasing the pressure between the engine and the main valve when the latter is closed. The valve e, which normally closes an exhaust port i, carries on its spindle a piston n moving in a liner p and having a ring permitting passage of pressure flnid beneath the piston to a pipe s connected with the pipe b. Should an overwind occur, the lever t<2> is depressed and opens the valves N, c successively to the exhaust port O. The first operation closes the main valve, and the second applies the brake and opens the pipe s to exhaust. The piston n being larger than the valve e, accordingly moves downwards and opens the port i. The pilot valve N is provided with an extension u moving in a cylindrical chamber v in constant communication with the inlet side of the main valve A. With this arrangement, the pressure on the valve N is maintained when the pressure in the pipe N falls owing to the opening of the valve, and too excessive a reduction in speed prior to the closing of the pilot valve is prevented.

Title: Improvements in Electric Maximum and Minimum Excess Voltage Switches.
IPC: H02J7/00
Filed: 1911-12-09
Granted: 1912-08-01
Abstract: 27,729. Eisemann, E., and Eisemann & Co., E. Dec. 9. Lighting systems.-A switch for automatically opening and closing the charging-circuit of a battery consists of a field magnet excited from the generator, an armature carrying a contact which completes the charging-circuit, when the voltage is sufficient, through a series winding upon the armature, and a shunt winding mounted on the same or an additional armature and adapted to open the charging-circuit when the voltage reaches the upper limit. In the form shown in Figs. 2 and 4, the armature C pivoted between the pole-pieces of the field magnet A is wound with two coils G, H, neither of which is at first in circuit. Contact is made between E and L when the magnet A is sufficiently excited, and the main circuit between the generator J and the battery K is completed through the winding G, the action of the armature winding reinforcing the field magnet. If the battery overpowers the generator, the reverse current through the winding G moves the armature back and breaks the charging-circuit. If, while the charging-circuit remains closed, the generator voltage rises to a determined limit, a separate relay N makes a shunt connexion through the winding H in a direction to draw back the armature and open the charging-circuit. In another form of the invention, shown in Fig. 5, the field magnet A has two sets of pole-pieces and two singly-wound armatures C', C<2> each carrying a main-circuit contact. The armature C<1> is held by its spring so that the contacts E<1>, L<1> are normally separated, and, when sufficiently attracted, closes the circuit through its windings G', the circuit passing through normally closed contacts E<2>, L<2> belonging to the armature C<2>. The second armature carries a winding H which becomes energized by a relay N as in the previously-described modification and breaks the charging-circuit.
