Title: Improvements in or relating to apparatus suitable for use in applying sole units to shoes
IPC: A43D25/12
Filed: 1959-09-22
Abstract: 936,294. Shoe bottom presses. BRITISH UNITED SHOE MACHINERY CO. Ltd. Sept. 22, 1959 [Sept. 24, 1958], No. 32154/59. Class 17 (1). A machine for applying a sole comprising a forepart, a shank portion, and a breast flap to the bottom of a shoe having a high heel comprises a pad to engage the forepart of the shoe bottom with a compressible element to engage the shank and heel breast, and a heel supporting element 58 which is movable along the pad to and from the rear surface of the heel and wedges between the heel and the pad when heightwise pressure is applied to the shoe. As shown, the box comprises adjustable parts 22, 24, 26, and the pad, which is covered by strip 46 and secured by marginal plate 20, includes an upper forepart pad 32, lower supporting pads 34, 36, 38, 40, the number of which may be varied, and replaceable shank elements 41, 42, 44. The shoe is held against the pad by toe and heel engaging devices 48, 50. As the box is moved upwardly by piston 54 moving in cylinder 56, the shank elements are compressed and expand laterally, pressing flap 18 against the heel breast. Pads 44 and 58, which are shaped to engage respectively the breast and the back of the heel, bridge an opening 110 in pad 34 which receives the heel. Pad 58 is carried by a bar 64 which is slidable in a carrier 66 on the box and connected to cylinder 56 by a linkage in eluding parts 94, 100, 88, 82, and 74, and spring 104. As the box moves upwardly, relatively to cylinder 56, to engage the shoe with devices 48, 50, the linkage moves pad 58 resiliently into engagement with the heel, and thereafter spring 104 yields. During this movement pad 58 is raised slightly from layer 34 by a spring 72. When pad 58 is then subjected to pressure between the heel and layer 34 it provides a wedge action to support the heel against the pressure of shank element 44, ribs 62 on pad 58 embedding in layer 34 to prevent movement of pad 58 away from the heel. Specification 910,181 is referred to.

Abstract: 351,872. Coke ovens. STILL, C., Recklinghausen, Westphalia, Germany. Oct. 27, 1930, No. 32241. Convention date, Oct. 28, 1929. [Class 55 (i).] Distillates are led away from the charge in gas retorts or coke ovens through two separable tubular elements, one of which extends into and is held by the fuel, and the other is mounted on the external part of the oven. The oven chamber 1 has in addition to a gas discharge opening 6 leading to a main 8, a number of gas outlet boxes 12 each of which is closed by a water-sealed cover 13, and has sleeves 22, 23 which guide and support a concentric tube 24 attached to a liquid sealed bell 25. The tube 24 extends below the fuel level and encloses a lower slotted tube 28, which extends nearly to the bottom of the charge. A rod 32 rests by a lug 34 on the end of the tube 24, and has on its end a hook 31 which engages a cross-piece 30 of the tube 28. Before charging, the upper tubes 24 are inserted from above and the tubes 28 lowered through the tubes 24 until they rest on the bottom. The oven is then partially filled, and the tubes 28, which are held in position by the fuel, are raised about 10 cms. from the bottom, and the covers 13 put in position. The distillates from the centre of the charge and from the upper part are led away separately through mains 9, 8. The vacuum in each box 12 may be adjusted separately by valves in the connections 17 leading into the outlet pipe 19. When distillation is completed, these valves are closed, pipes 24 withdrawn upwards, and the coke discharged together with the tubes 28, which are taken out and used again. The tubes 28 may however be removed upwardly before the end of the coking process. When the oven is charged with rammed or pressed cokes, the tubes 28 are embedded in the charge prior to its introduction into the oven. The tubes may, in a modification, be introduced horizontally.

Patent GB-940909-A (GB)
Title: Improvements relating to the lubrication of internal combustion engines
IPC: F01M1/24
Filed: 1961-09-08
Abstract: 940,909. Lubricating. DAIMLER-BENZ A.G. Sept. 8, 1961 [Sept. 8, 1960], No. 32357/61. Heading F2A. [Also in Division F1] A prelubrication arrangement for an engine comprises a main lubricating circuit 14, Fig. 1, fed by an engine-driven oil pump 10, a prelubricating circuit 18 fed by a prelubricating pump 16 from a reservoir 11 and a pressureresponsive safety device 25 operated by the pressure in the prelubricating circuit and which cuts off the fuel supply when a predetermined oil pressure is not attained and releases the fuel supply when a predetermined oil pressure is exceeded, the safety device being disposed in a secondary passage connected to the prelubricating circuit. The engine is lubricated before starting by pump 16, driven by an electric motor or auxiliary engine, which feeds oil through an adjustable-pressure non-return valve 19 and filter 15 to the main circuit 14 and also through a secondary circuit 22 which has a filter 23 and non-return valve 24. Rise of pressure opens non- return valve 24, closes non-return valve 28 in an extension 26 of the main circuit and moves a piston 29 against a spring 30 to release the fuel supply by moving a fuel injection pump control rod 32. At the same time, rise of pressure in passage 26 causes a switch 27 to actuate the engine starter. During normal running an engine-driven pump 10 supplies the main circuit 14 at an increased pressure which closes non- return valves 19 and 24 and opens non-return valve 28, thus allowing the prelubrication pump to be switched off. In a modification valve 28 may have a permanently open small aperture. In another embodiment non-return valves 24, 28 are replaced by an electromagnetically controlled three-way valve 35, Fig. 2. The prelubrication pump 16 is started by closing switch 38 to close an electromagnetic switch 37 thus energizing the pump and moving the valve 32 to connect passage 22 to the safety device 25. When the main lubricating circuit is in operation, switch 38 is opened and a spring (not shown) moves valve 35 to connect passage 26 to the safety device 25. A narrow branch pipe 40 feeds other engine lubricating points e.g. regulators.

IPC: D05B35/10
Filed: 1953-11-23
Abstract: 762,282. Sewing machines. LOCKSHIN, L. L. [trading as CENTURY ENGINEERING CO.], and ROSS, H. M. Nov. 23, 1953, No. 32475/53. Class 112. [Also in Group XXIV] For spiral stitching of articles such as brassiere cups the work is mounted on a slide movable relatively to the needle of a sewing- machine by a cam acting on the slide ; the work is rotated on the slide by the usual feed of the machine. In order that the turns of the spiral may be evenly spaced, the cam is driven so that its point of action moves with constant linear velocity. In the arrangement shown in Fig. 5, a brassiere cup 40 (dotted) is impaled on a pin on a slide 38 which is moved laterally of the line of action of the feed dog of the machine by cam means described below. The slide 38 is rigidly connected by an arm 37 to a slide 6, Fig. 1, carried by guides 5 on a base 1, and is moved as required by a cam 16 on a spindle 4 on the frame 1 ; the cam is engaged by a roller on a spindle 20 carried by the slide 6, and has set in its periphery a sprocket chain 17 which is engaged by a sprocket wheel 19 on the spindle 20, so that rotation of the spindle feeds the cam past the roller 20, which is pressed against the cam by a weight attached to the slide by a chain 32 passing over a pulley 35 on the base 1. Any other positive drive between the spindle 20 and cam 16 may be used. The spindle 20 is rotated step by step through worm gearing 21 by a one-way clutch 26 which is actuated from the feed-mechanism of the machine through a rod 11, a rock-shaft 9 with an offset bar 14, and a forked arm on the clutch spindle embracing the bar 14 so as to be actuated by it at any point in the travel of the slide ; the bar 14 may be inclined to' the shaft 9 so that the throw of the clutch varies progressively during the sewing. Operation starts at the inner end of the cam, and on its completion the sprocket wheel 19 is disconnected from the spindle 20 by slackening a nut on the spindle, so that the cam can be moved back to its initial position, the slide 6 following under the action of the weight. Starting and stopping.-A clutch through which the machine is driven is engaged by a treadle, and is latched in the running position if a solenoid, controlled by a hand-switch, is energized ; this solenoid also controls the supply of air to the work-flattening means described below. The operation is stopped by a switch 59, in series with the hand-switch, opened by a block 63 which is adjustably fixed in a slot 65 in the cam 16. Operation may be continued by means of the treadle. Currents of air, utilizing.-A pipe 44 from a source of compressed air has its end surrounding the pin and cut obliquely so that a current of air is directed radially along the work towards the needle 43 of the machine ; a second air pipe 49 directs a current tangentially of the work, these two air currents together holding the work flat for stitching at the required part.

Title: Improvements relating to the manufacture of resins from aromatic sulphonamides and formaldehyde
IPC: C08G12/04
Filed: 1949-12-22
Abstract: In making resins by the condensation of formaldehyde with an aromatic sulphonamide containing only one group reactive with formaldehyde, the condensation is effected at an elevated temperature, e.g. at boiling temperature and under reflux, and at a pH within the range of 3 to 6, the amount of formaldehyde in the reaction mixture being such that, at the end of the condensation, the concentration of formaldehyde in the aqueous phase is not appreciably below 15 per cent, and the condensation products are heated at a temperature not exceeding 130 DEG C. until a desired drop-point has been reached. In a modification, the sulphonamide and phenol or urea in amount not exceeding 10 per cent by weight of the sulphonamide are co-condensed with formaldehyde. The condensation may be effected in the presence of a solvent or extraction medium for impurities in the reactants, e.g. sodium hexametaphosphate. The condensation product may either be boiled with an alcohol, e.g. methanol, before or after heating to 130 DEG C. or less and heated to this temperature until it has reached the desired drop point, or be boiled with formaldehyde after heating to 130 DEG  C. or less, followed by renewed heating.  Instead of boiling with formaldehyde, the resin in molten form may be treated with paraformaldehyde.  Sulphonamides specified are: p-toluene-sulphonamide, benzene sulphonamide, and a mixture of isomeric toluene sulphonamides obtained by the amidation of crude toluene sulphochloride.  Examples are given.  Specifications 315,807, 315,808, 317,456, 338,002, 338,024, [all in Class 2], 342,614, 349,956, 359,676, [Group XXXVI], 416,946, 417,798 and 561,232 are referred to.
