of a coin disposed in the plane between the faces of the said
revolvable members, pins on one of said members adapted to
engage and support the edge of the coin, and means on the
carrier for engaging the edge of the coin held by the said
holder, and means for revolving one of said revolvable mem-
bers. (2.) In a machine of the class described, the combina-
tion of a plurality of revolvable members having opposing
faces spaced apart for the reception of a coin and substanti-
ally the thickness of a coin disposed in the plane between
them, the faces of said revolvable members, a chute for
directing the coin between the revolvable members having its
slot in the plane of the space between said revolvable members,
projections on one of said revolvable members adapted to
engage the edge of a coin to support the same, and means on
the second revolvable member for engaging the edge of the
coin held by the holder, and means for revolving said second
revolvable member whereby the coin will cause both members
to revolve together. (3.) In a machine of the class described,
the combination of a revolvable holder and a revolvable
carrier having opposing faces spaced apart for the reception
of a coin placed between the planes of the faces of said
revolvable members, pins on the holder adapted to engage
and support the edge of the coin, means on the carrier travel-
ling outside the arc of said supporting-pins for engaging the
edge of the coin whereby the revolvable members will be
caused to move together, and means on said carrier moving
inside the arc of travel of the said supporting-pins adapted
to engage the edge of the coin and eject the latter. (4.) In a
carbonator or similar device, an air-vent comprising a tube
with a valve at its top controlled by a float, and a weight-
controlled valve at its lower extremity, means for admitting
water, and means for admitting gas.

wheel, a ring adjustably secured upon such strap and adapted
to receive the reins, and a chain-connection between the
strap and a fixture upon the vehicle-body, substantially as

at their outer ends and made to engage the said plate, all
substantially as shown on the drawing and as described and
explained. (2.) In joints of framing for taking apart as
needed, a metal plate having bosses to take the weight
off the screws that secure it, and bevelled slots enlarged
at tops, with studs secured to another part of the frame

(Specification, 1s. 6d.; drawings, 3s.)

No. 25499.—28th January, 1909.—ALBERT EDWARD
WHITELAW, of 46 Dwyer Street, Clifton Hill, Victoria, Aus-
tralia, Manager. An improved method of forming the uppers
of boots or shoes.

Claims.—(1.) In a method of forming the uppers of boots
or shoes, cutting the two pieces of which the back part is
composed, one wider than the other, with their back edges
cut so that where the shape to be produced at the back is
concave the larger piece is cut with a curve of less radius
than the curve of the smaller part, and where the shape to
be produced at the back is convex the smaller piece is cut
with a curve of less radius than the curve of the larger part,
the two pieces being fastened together with a seam upon
one side only, substantially as described. (2.) A method of
forming the uppers of boots or shoes consisting of cutting the
back part of the upper of two pieces A and B, one of which
is wider than the other, so that when joined together they
form a seam upon one side only, the back edges of such pieces
being such that from the heel to the golosh the smaller
piece B is cut with a curve b5–b6 of less radius than the curve
a5–a6 of the larger piece A, while from the golosh to a point
behind the ankle the larger piece A is cut with a curve a6–a7
of less radius than the curve b6–b7 of the smaller piece B,
the two pieces A and B being stitched together, making the
edge a5–a6 conform to the edge b5–b6, and then the edge
a6–a′ conform to the edge b6–b′ as they pass through the
sewing-machine, substantially as described. (3.) A method
of forming the uppers of boots or shoes consisting of cutting
the back part of the upper of two pieces A and B, one of which
is wider than the other, so that when joined together they
form a seam upon one side only, the back edges of such pieces
being such that from the heel to the golosh the smaller piece
B is cut with a curve b5–b6 of less radius than the curve
a5–a6 of the larger piece A, while from the golosh to a point
behind the ankle the larger piece A is cut with a curve a6–a7
of less radius than the curve b6–b7 of the smaller piece B,
the distance from a6–a7 being slightly less than the distance
between b6–b7, the two pieces A and B being stitched together
making the edge a5–a6 conform to the edge b5–b6, and then
the edge a6–a′ conform to the edge b6–b′ as they pass through
the sewing-machine, the point a7 being made to conform
with the point b7 by stretching the edge a6–a7 of the larger
piece A as it passes through the machine, substantially as
described.
