No. 26492. — 25th August, 1909. — FLORENCE HELEN BRIDGER, Married Woman, of Dunedin, New Zealand (assignee of Theo Eustace Bridger, of Dunedin aforesaid, Inventor). Apparatus for automatically maintaining pressure.*

Extract from Specification.—The following is a brief description of the apparatus in operation: The liquid or air is discharged into the accumulator under pressure by the pump actuated by a motor. The plunger 23 in the accumulator thus operated upon projects the extension-piece 25, and the insulated arm 28 compresses the springs and increases pressure. As long as the pressure in the accumulator does not exceed the requirements, a continuous circuit is supplied, and the pump kept in operation maintaining the required pressure. If the pressure increases there is a further travel of the insulated arm, until released by engagement of the inclined plane 39 with the cone or tapered plane on the insulated arm, such engagement separating the lug 31 and the plate 33, thus breaking circuit with the solenoid, releasing the metal core, and through the medium of the lever-connection 43 and clutch 8 and 9 the pump is disconnected. When the pressure decreases there is a reverse action: the plunger 23 recedes, and with it the insulator-arm 28, re-establishing a circuit, putting the solenoid into action, and operating the clutch on the motor-shaft, and starts pumping-operations.

(2.) A machine for working an upper over a last arranged to support the shoe in upright position with the top face of the shoe towards the operator, and having, in combination, means for pulling-over the shoe, and wipers arranged to act upon the pulled upper while the upper is held under tension by the pulling-over means to force the upper into lasted position upon the last-bottom. (3.) A machine for working an upper over a last, having, in combination, gripping-means constructed and arranged to receive at the opposite sides and toe end of a shoe the upper in its normal outwardly flared position relatively to the forward portion of the last and pull the upper on the last, and means for lasting the upper.

For a shoe-blacking or like machine, an arrangement which insures that a relatively greater quantity of blacking shall be applied to the rand crease than to the edge-face of the heel or sole. (2.) For a shoe-blacking or like machine, an arrangement of the kind claimed in preceding claiming clause No. 1, in which the blacking-device for the edge-face of the heel or sole receives its blacking only by way of the crease-blacking device. . . . (6.) For a shoe-blacking or like machine, a brush having a thick body-section for blacking the edge-face of a heel or sole, comprising soft bristles set close together so that they brace one another and give to the brush an edge-face of substantially uniform character, and a relatively thin section comprising separated tufts of short stiff bristles for carrying blacking into the rand crease.
