rotating roller on a shaft which extends lengthwise of the weav- 

 ing zone and is journaled in brackets. The width of the fabric 

 to be produced is regulated by these brackets. 



A roller with flanged edges serves to hold the edged portion 

 including the selvage of the fabric. The take-off E e.xerts a 

 strain or a pull upon the fabric as it is produced, firmly engaging 

 the fabric with the rollers so as it is formed the fabric is drawn 

 down, about and under the rollers, then off to the take-off. — How- 

 ard I. Morris, assignor to the Savage Tire Co. — both of San 

 Diego, California. United States patent No. 1,358,094. 



MACHINE FOR PRODUCING AND APPLYING FOXING 



In the manufacture of rubber footwear, such as tennis shoes, 

 sneakers and arctics, the foxing used as the intermediate strip 

 between the edges of the sole and the edges of the upper is 

 usually applied by hand. The object of this invention is to supply 

 a mechanical means for this purpose and which is shown in Fig. 3. 



Suitably supported by the frame of the machine is a hopper 

 to which a feed nozzle or die A is attached. The rubber com- 

 pound is placed in the hopper and forced through the nozzle A 

 which is placed in close proximity to the feed wheel carrying 

 the lasted shoe. The foxing is formed as extruded and is laid 

 upon the proper portion of the shoe. Cement may be applied in 

 the usual manner, or a small quantity of gasoline from tube B 

 will cause the foxing to adhere ivithout the use of cement. In order 

 tliat the foxing may be laid smoothly in place the rate of speed 

 of the shce past the former A is greater than the speed of form- 

 ing the foxing, keeping the strip under just enough tension 

 to lay it evenly. 



The insert .shows another type of former consisting of contact- 

 ing rolls, one of which has a peripheral groove, the width of the 

 strip to be formed. — Louis A. Casgrain, Beverly, Massachusetts, 

 assignor to United Shoe Machinery Corporatit)n, Paterson, New 

 Jersey. . United States patent No. 1,363,308. 



MACHINE FOR DEFLATING INNER' TUBES 



In the final stage of manufacture, inner tubes are inflated for 

 the purpose of locating imperfections, and after inspection they 

 are deflated, usually by a hand-rolling device. The invention here 

 shown is designed to 

 deflate the tubes, auto- 

 matically and rapidly, in 

 a manner consistent with 

 economical production. 



Referring to the illus- 

 tration the tube 5" is 

 mounted over a series of 

 plates 7? which are ra- 

 dially expanded through 

 connections c, rf to a 

 rotary plate e. One of 

 the arms c carries block 

 f for unseating the valve 

 during the expanding 

 movement. The plate c 

 is fitted with an operat- 

 ing-handle /(, a ratchet ;' 

 and pawl i being provided 

 for locking the device 

 when expanded. This 

 holds the tube in shape 

 while the air is exhausted. 



\ number of such devices may be carried on arm U from a 

 central support V around which they revolve. — A. Shrader's Son, 

 Inc., Brooklyn, assignee of M. C. Schweinert, New York City, 

 both in New York, U. S. A. British patent No. 151,004 (not yet 

 accepted).
