Improvement in sole-rounding machines.

Extract from Specification.—This invention relates to sole-
rounding machines of the type wherein the clamped sole is
cut to a pattern by a knife dragged around that pattern.
Probably most of the sole-rounding machines now in use are
of the so-called “Julian” type, wherein the sole and the pat-
tern to which it is clamped remain stationary and the cutting-
knife is drawn around it. Machines of this type so far put
out present certain advantages by reason of the fact that the
knife has been given a fast and slow motion relative to the
sole, so that the knife may be moved at a relatively high speed
along the sides of the sole, where the cutting is comparatively
easy, while in rounding the toe and heel, where the action is
more difficult, the knife may be moved at a relatively slow
speed. Machines of this type, however, are objectionable
because of the wide swing required for the rotating knife,
its carrying and controlling mechanism, and because of the
complication which results in giving to this widely swinging
knife the necessary changes in speed, support, adjustment,
&c. This invention aims principally to eliminate such of
the above-mentioned objections as inhere in a movable
knife by rotating the sole past the cutting-knife; but the in-
vention also provides in connection therewith the advantages
of machines of the travelling-knife type, the provision of
means for obtaining a relatively fast cutting-action along the
sides of the sole and a relatively slow cutting-acting around
the toe, with other advantageous features which are not pos-
sessed by any machine or machines of either type as heretofore
constructed.
[NOTE.—The above extract from the specification is inserted in place
of the claims.]

No. 23022.—2nd August, 1906.—REINHOLD BURGER, of

[NOTE.—This is an application under section 106 of the Act, the date
given being the official date of the application in Great Britain.]

Claims.—(1.) In a vessel having double walls with a space
for a vacuum between them, which walls are stiffened rela-
tively to each other by bodies made preferably of slightly
elastic material, the securing in position of the said stiffening-
bodies by means of projections or recesses formed on or in
one or both of the said walls. (2.) The several arrange-
ments in accordance with the preceding claiming clause as
described, and illustrated in the drawings. (3.) The com-
bination with a vessel in accordance with the preceding
claiming clauses, of a casing provided with an elastic support
for the vessel, and with a cap which, by pressing on a stopper,
closes hermetically the mouth of the said vessel.
