No. 22005.—3rd September, 1907.—JOHN STEVENSON, of Glenavy, New Zealand, Farmer. Improvements in and relating to ploughs.

Claims.—(1.) In ploughs, the combination therewith of a cultivator attachment secured in a position to the rear of the ordinary mould-boards, and capable of vertical and horizontal adjustment, substantially as and for the purposes specified. (2.) In ploughs, the combination therewith of a bar extending transversely from the plough-frame, a cultivator of ordinary construction the frame of which is hinged to the bar at its forward end, and means whereby such cultivator may be raised or lowered on its hinges, substantially as and for the purposes specified. (3.) In ploughs, the combination therewith of a cultivator attachment secured thereto in the manner set forth in the preceding claims, a rod extending transversely across above the cultivator and adapted to be rotated in fixed bearings, and connecting-arms pivoted to crank-arms upon the rod and connected to the rear end of the cultivator-frame, substantially as and for the purposes set forth. (4.) The improvements in and relating to ploughs substantially as described and explained, as illustrated in the drawings, and for the several purposes set forth.

No. 22060.—15th November, 1906.—UNITED SHOE MACHINERY COMPANY, of Paterson, in the State of New Jersey, United States of America, a corporation duly organized under the laws of the said State of New Jersey, and having a place of business at 205 Lincoln Street, Boston, Massachusetts, United States of America (assignees of Frederick Henry Perry, of Beverly, Essex, Massachusetts aforesaid, Inventor). Improvements in or relating to machines for inserting fasteners of metal or wire in leather goods and the like, or for producing as well as inserting said fasteners.*

Extract from Specification.—The preferred form of the invention is shown as embodied in a machine for forming fasteners from continuous material (such, for example, as wire) and inserting them into stock, said machine being adapted to operate upon a plurality of strands of wire so that a plurality of fasteners may be inserted simultaneously. Said machine comprises automatic means for causing the feeding of one strand of wire to be discontinued for a certain number of operations of the machine and thereafter resumed without affecting the operation of feeding the other strand or strands of wire. The machine also comprises means under control of the operator for varying the time of operation of said automatic means so that the sequence in which the fasteners are inserted may be varied. Manually operated means are also provided for rendering said automatic means inoperative while other elements of the machine continue in operation. The machine has mechanism for feeding a plurality of strands of wire into position to be severed to form fasteners which thereafter are carried into alignment with drivers that force them into the stock. In the machine shown the stock is fed intermittently by an awl, but it should be understood that the invention is not limited to this particular kind of feeding-mechanism, as the stock may be fed by any desired means—such, for example, as a feeding-mechanism which acts on the edge of the stock. A movable dial or pattern-device having adjustable controlling-pins is provided for governing the operation of the wire-feeding mechanism for one strand of wire, and the position and arrangement of said controlling-pins may be changed to cause the feeding-mechanism to feed said strand at each operation of the machine or at intermittent operations of the machine, thereby enabling the fasteners formed from this strand to be inserted in any sequence to produce a predetermined design. Means are provided for restoring the dial to starting-position whenever the machine is stopped, so that the same design may be produced repeatedly on different pieces of stock; and, for enabling the same design to be produced on the heel of either a right or a left shoe, additional means are provided for adjusting the dial. Independent means are also provided for causing the dial to remain inoperative while the other elements of the machine continue in operation, and when in its inoperative position a controlling-pin on said dial can be so adjusted as to cause the feeding-mechanism either to act on the wire at each operation of the machine or not at all.

[NOTE.—The above extract from the specification is inserted in place of the claims.]

No. 22067.—15th November, 1906.—UNITED SHOE MACHINERY COMPANY, of Paterson, in the State of New Jersey, United States of America, a corporation duly organized under the laws of said State of New Jersey, and having a place of business at 205 Lincoln Street, Boston, Massachusetts, United States of America (assignees of Arthur Bates, of Leicester, England, Engineer). Improvements in or relating to clicking-presses.*

Claims.—(1.) In a clicking-press, the employment of a starting-device that moves in company with the press arm or ram, or its controlling-device, for the purpose described. (2.) In a clicking-press, the employment between the driving-gear of the press and the starting-handle for that gear of an operative connection so constructed that the handle is not only moved to position the press arm or ram, but also is differently movable to start the press. (3.) An embodiment of the subject-matter of the preceding claiming clause No. 2 wherein the said handle is guided in the press-arm and utilised without movement relatively to the arm in order to position that arm, and by moving it relatively to the arm in order to actuate the starting-device. (4.) In a clicking-press, the combination of parts 6, 36, 46, 48, 40, 42, Figs. 1, 2, 3, and 4, or 6, 68, 70, 72, 74, 76, 24, 80, Figs. 5 and 6, substantially as described. (5.)
