No. 26951.—24th November, 1909.—JOHN LOGAN SMITH, of Centre Road, Bentleigh, Victoria, Australia, Storekeeper. A safety device for the feed of chaff-cutters.

Extract from Specification.—According to this invention a detachable open-ended shield 1 made preferably of thin metal is fitted within the feed-box 2 so that it practically covers in the discharge or forward end of same. The shield is preferably cut away at the sides as at 3 to facilitate the delivery of the hay, and the upper rear edge 4 of its top portion 5 is curved backwards to obviate injury to the feeder’s hand. The top and portion of the sides of the shield are elevated above the sides of the feed-box, and said top 5 is inclined or curved downwardly towards the rollers 6, 6, where it terminates in a flexible lip 7. This curvature or inclination of the top directs or feeds the hay downwardly towards the rollers, and by doing so the hay is compacted, thus obviating the necessity of the feeder risking danger in accomplishing this object by hand.

No. 27013.—8th December, 1909.—UNITED SHOE MACHINERY COMPANY, of Paterson, New Jersey, United States of America, a corporation duly organized under the laws of the State of New Jersey, carrying on business as Shoe-machinery Manufacturers, and having a place of business at 205 Lincoln Street, Boston, Massachusetts, United States of America (assignees of Arvid Ludvig Engberg, of Saugus, Massachusetts aforesaid, Shoemaker). Improvements in or relating to pulling-over and like machines.*

Claims.—(1.) For a pulling-over or like machine, a gripper for pulling an upper over a last, and having provision for adjusting the upper upon the last, in combination with pinking-means movable in a recess or guideway formed in the gripper to cut a notch or notches from the margin of the upper whilst the upper is held by the gripper in its adjusted position. . . . (3.) For a pulling-over or like machine, the combination of a pinking-tool for notching the upper, and means (for example, 51, 52) which are capable of angular movement to adapt themselves to the size and shape of the last, and which are operatively connected with the pinking-tool so as to adjust it into its correct angular relationship with the adjacent side of the last. . . . (7.) A machine of the class described having, in combination, means for pulling an upper over a last, means for adjusting the upper upon the last, means for pinking the pulled-over portion of upper, and means for fastening the said pulled-over portion of the upper. . . . (11.) A machine for working an upper over a last, having, in combination, a gripper for pulling the upper, a pinking-tool, and means for actuating the tool to remove a portion from the portion of the upper held by the gripper, thus forming a notch therein, while the upper continues to be held by the gripper.

[NOTE.—Here follow eleven other claims.]
(Specification, 14s.)

No. 27107.—30th December, 1909. — JOHN JOHNSTON, of Invercargill, New Zealand, Engineer. Improved driving-gear for locomotive engines.*

Extract from Specification.—The main frame of the engine has transverse plates stiffened by angle plates secured to the frame. The transverse plates are spaced apart, and support bearings for a shaft, whereon a main spur-wheel is mounted. This spur wheel is driven by a spur-pinion secured to a counter-shaft extending below a vertical engine, upon the shaft of which spur-wheels of different diameters are fixed. A sleeve slidable by a clutch upon the counter-shaft is provided with spur-wheels of different diameters, whereby two speeds may be obtained from the engine while running at a uniform speed. The shaft of the main spur-wheel extends both forwardly and rearwardly into sleeves, and is connected thereto by pins. The other ends of the sleeves receive the ends of shafts provided with bevel toothed wheels, and mounted in bearings carried by the bogies of the engine. The bevel-wheels gear with other bevel-wheels secured upon transverse shafts, carrying spur-wheels, gearing with spur-wheels fixed upon each axle of the bogie.

No. 27131.—11th January, 1910.—UNITED SHOE MACHINERY COMPANY, of Paterson, New Jersey, United States of America, a corporation duly organized under the laws of the State of New Jersey, carrying on business as Shoe-machinery Manufacturers, and having a place of business at 205 Lincoln Street, Boston, Massachusetts, United States of America (assignees of Louis William Garnett Flynt, of Rochester, New York, United States of America). Improvements in or relating to shoe-upper-beading machines.*

Claims.—(1.) In a machine of the class described, a hammer and actuating-means therefor so constructed and arranged that the hammer moves across the anvil with a movement corresponding to that of a cone rolling upon a plane. (2.) In a machine of the class described, the use of a hammer having a curved face, and mounted rotatably on a crank-pin fixed at an angle to its shaft so that the hammer progresses across the face of the anvil by a substantially rolling motion.

[NOTE.—Here follow eleven other claims.]
