Granted: 1911-04-20
Abstract: 15,176. Faye, P. E. P. June 23. Feeding sheets. - In machines for labelling bottles, flagons, &c., a downward movement of the bottle causes a label to be fed automatically from a stack. A bottle is placed on the supports E, which are fixed to the racks D, and a downward movement is given thereto. This movement actuates two pinions C fixed to the shaft B, a ratchet-wheel F on which actuates a free - wheel G, and through it the pinion I and shafts K, N. The shaft K carries a cylinder L around which, and a roller i, passes an endless band j serving to convey the labels from the gumming-cylinder C to the grippers m. The shaft N freely carries a cam P, which is provided with a series of holes P<1>, one of which is engaged by a pin carried by the extremity of a flat spring secured to the toothed wheel M. The cam P actuates the lever Q, which is secured to the shaft U, on which is fixed the cam R, the latter serving to support the pivoted member S and the table T carrying the labels. The pile of labels is raised and pressed against the gumming-cylinder O, to which adheres the top label of the pile. The gummed label is removed by plates f to the band L, and is guided by rollers l on hinged bars k, the distance between which can be regulated. The member S and table T are connected by the mechanism shown in Fig. 3. The member S is provided with a shaft V carrying two cams Wand a ratchet-wheel X which is prevented from moving backwards by a pawl Z fixed to the member S.

Title: Improvements in or relating to Pincer Lasting or like Machines.
IPC: A43D23/02
Filed: 1910-09-12
Granted: 1911-09-07
Abstract: 21,229. Bates, A., and British United Shoe Machinery Co. Sept. 12. Lasting.-Pincer lasting-machines, such as are described in Specification 14,453/97, are arranged so that the feeding or turning movement of the work controls, or is controlled by, the pleating-mechanism. Figs. 1 and 2 show one form of the invention, in which the feed is controlled by the pleating-mechanism. The feeding-device consists of a corrugated wheel C having a sharp central point C<2> to engage the insole. This wheel is driven through intermediate shafts C<3>, D and bevel-gearing C<4>, C<5>, D<2> from a shaft D<1>, on which are mounted two ratchet-wheels D<3>, D<4>. These wheels have opposed teeth, and are adapted to be engaged respectively by two spring-pressed detents E<3>, E<4> carried by a fork-ended lever E', which is pivotally connected by a link E to the machine frame, and pivoted at E' to a block B. This block is adapted to be moved in a segmental guide B<1> by a knee-lever, as in the machine described in the above-mentioned Specification, to vary the direction and the extent of the pleating movement of the pincers ; consequently, through the connexions described, it simultaneously controls the feed so that the work moves in correct relationship with the pleating- mechanism. In a modified construction, in which the feed controls the pleating-mechanism, the shaft D, instead of being connected by bevelgearing to the shaft D<1>, is fitted with a spiral cam which is engaged by one end of a lever connected to the block B, or, alternatively, to a block which is connected by links to the rockshaft, which, in the first construction, carries the segmental guide B<1>. The work is fed by hand, and, as it rotates the wheel C, a corresponding amount of movement in the desired direction is communicated to the pleating- mechanism.

Abstract: 16,271. Hewitt, P. C. July 23, 1910, [Convention date]. Varnishes.-A fluorescent film is described, the object of which is to transform partly the light from any source so as to make up for the deficiency in certain wave lengths. The film consists of a fluorescent dye-stuff, preferably rhodamine, mixed with approximately 70 per cent by weight of acetate of cellulose, 10 per cent of glycerine, and 20 per cent of acetic acid. This mixture is.dissolved in acetone to form an approximate 12 per cent solution. This solution is allowed to dry and the required light-transforming fluorescent film (containing from À05 to À005 per cent of rhodamine) remains. This film may be used either as a reflector, in which case it is preferably mounted on a suitable backing, or as a light filter placed wholly or partly around the source. The backing in the former case is preferably made of a dispersing-material, such as white lead or kalsomine, and this material may in some cases be incorporated in the film.
