Title: Improvements in or relating to Machines for Operating Upon Boots and Shoes after the Welt has been Attached.
Inventor: BOULT ALFRED JULIUS
IPC: A43D49/00
Filed: 1910-11-23
Granted: 1911-12-27
Abstract: 27,305. Boult, A. J., [United Shoe Machinery Co.]. Nov. 23. Welts, machines for.-A welt-beating machine of the type described in Specification 17,012/04 is provided with means to stretch the welt. In the form shown in Fig. 1, the hammer 1, which is provided with a spring cushion, is mounted in a guide 60, the guide being supported by pivots 62 on a lever 6 rocked by a shaft 11. In addition to the reciprocating movement due to the rocking of the lever 6, the hammer is given a rocking movement on its pivots by means of a rock-shaft 65 operated from the shaft 11 and provided with an adjustable connexion to the guide 60. The rocking action is timed to draw the hammer outwards from the work, while the work is held between the hammer and an anvil 15. The spring cushion for the hammer permits it to dwell for an appreciable time on the work. The hammer is provided at the rear with a recess having converging walls. to permit the operation of a slitting-knife 20. The wiping action of the conveying walls assists the stretching of the welt. In a modification, the welt is hammered by the ordinary reciprocating hammer on an anvil; and while the hammer is on the welt, the work-guide, against which the boot is held, is operated to push the boot outward; the extent of the outward push may be varied during the running of the machine. In another form, the anvil is moved outwards from the work, while the hammer holds the work on it. In the form shown in Fig. 17, means is provided for giving a longitudinal as well as a transverse stretch to the welt. The transverse stretching is effected by pushing the boot away by the guide 68 while the welt is held between the hammer and the anvil, the amount of such stretching being controlled by a treadle which controls the movement given to the guide 68. The anvil has mounted on it a shaped slide 74, Fig. 14, at each side of which ribs 76 are yieldingly supported. The hammer is shaped to correspond with the slide. The welt is gripped between the hammer and the ribs 76, and, as the hammer and ribs descend, is drawn tightly over the slide 74. The amount of longitudinal stretch is varied by altering the position of the slide and ribs on the anvil.

Abstract: 24,745. Penrose & Co., A. W., and Barlow, F. Nov. 7. [Addition to 1335/11.] Electric equipment; electric push - button systems.-Relates to improvements in the control gear for electric lifts described in the parent Specification, which comprises means by which, when the controller breaks from one set of contacts, a momentary reverse impulse is given to ensure a quick break, and consists in adapting a reciprocating solenoid or switch gear to take the place of the rotary solenoid. Figs. 1 and 3 show the application to a car switch. Solenoids s<1>, s<2> operate a core which, by means of a lug 34, moves a sliding bar 27 carrying switches which at the proper time bridge contacts a, b, c, d, f, g, h, i. The extra contacts l, m, k are bridged by the switch 33. The leads from the contacts 1 ... 8 are arranged as described in the parent Specification. In the case of a push-button system, additional double - circuit make - and - break switches are provided as before, the made contact maintaining the particular winding-circuit in action. Pivoted arms 25, 26 actuated bv a striker 13 are provided to operate the doublepole switches, and springs 14 start the return of the bar 27 until the double-pole switch is moved to its original position and makes the circuit of the opposite winding. In a modification, the solenoids s<1>, s<2> reciprocate a bar which in turn moves an arm to actuate a rotary controller, as described in the parent Specification. In this case, the switches 25, 26 are operated by collars on this bar. In a further modification, a rotary solenoid operates the reciprocating switch gear.

Abstract: 11,243. Meek, J. W., and Derry, A. E. May 11. Liquid-pressure engines.-A motor is driven by atmospheric pressure by alternately opening a cylinder to a reservoir of water and to a column of water. In the form shown in Fig. 1, one or more cylinders a are each provided with a cover-plate a<1> to which are attached two elbowpipes a<2>, a<3> and a stuffing-box a<4>. The elbowpipes are attached respectively to a water-supply tank c' and outlet pipes d within which are the columns of water, which discharge into a receiving-tank d<1> provided with an overflow at such a height as to keep the discharge orifices submerged. Each pipe d is controlled by a cock d<3> by which the flow of water through the pipe and the working of the motor is regulated. Disk-valves e operated by spindles e<1> connect the cylinders alternately to the tank c<1> and water column d. The valves are actuated by a cam j<2> bearing on levers j<1> connected by links to a bell-crank l which operates the crank arms e<3>. In starting the motor, the cocks d<3> are closed and the pipes d filled with water; when the cocks are opened, the water falls to its barometric height, causing a vacuum in the upper part of the pipe. When the cylinder is connected to the pipe d, the diaphragm f moves inwards owing to atmospheric pressure, and the water in the cylinder discharges into the pipe d. In the form shown in Fig. 5, a series of trunk cylinders are provided which drive a crankshaft by connecting-rods u<2>. The water is admitted to the cylinder by means of a slide valve q which is operated by a bell-crank q<1> operated by a cam-groove o<3>. The connexion with the pipes d is made by means of a rotary sleeve valve r<1> provided with a number of ports r<2> which register with similar ports s<2> in a cupshaped vessel at the bottom of the cylinder. The valve is rotated by means of a lever v connected by a connecting-rod r<5> to the bell-crank r<4> which is moved by a roller engaging in the cam-slot o<3>.
