Filed: 1922-03-07
Abstract: 196,873. Beesley, H. March 7, 1922. Computing-apparatus.-Relates to apparatus for ascertaining the counts of cotton, woollen, &c. yarns of the kind in which measured lengths are placed in the hook of a balance and are balanced against a weight, the number of lengths required to produce balance being the count of the yarn. The balance is adjusted by means of a screw E so that a pointer C<2> on the arm registers with an arrow B<2>. A determined weight is then suspended from a fixed point C<1> and the balance is restored by placing the measured lengths of yarn on the hook C<1>. A templet D, Fig. 3, is cut so that the different dimensions thereof correspond to the lengths of the different materials necessary to give the required indication. When testing fine yarns a weight half that of the normal is used, the count then being double the number of lengths to produce balance. Short cotton yarns are cut to the length marked " ¢ cotton " on the templet and balanced against the half weight. Specification 12791/99 is referred to.

Title: Improvements relating to liquid dispensing apparatus
IPC: B67D7/16
Filed: 1929-11-06
Abstract: 333,822. Triggs, W. W., (Wayne Pump Co.). Nov. 6, 1929. Fixed-chamber apparatus. - Delivery is controlled at a distance from the measuring apparatus; at, for instance, the point where petrol is received in the tank of a motor-car. Liquid, pumped into the measuring chamber 10 by way of the pipe 13, settles to the level of the overflow 15, and the amount required is then released through the valved cup 18 and jointed pipe 17, 19 which in its lowermost position folds into a recess 24 in the base of the chamber. The cup 18 is mounted on a tubular stem 29 which encloses the operating rod 41 for the valve 26 and carries a handle 30 formed with a projection 31 in the path of projections 32 from an angularly movable rod 33. A spring-pressed knob in the casing rotates the rod 33, and permits the vertical adjustment of the handle 30 and cup 18. Delivery is effected by pulling a chain 61 attached to a sheave 74. A carn 63 on the shaft 59 thereupon moves rod 49 causing it to turn the bell-crank lever 46, 47 and lift the valve rod 41. Further quantities beyond that for which the apparatus is originally set may be obtained by continuing to pull the chain 61. A spring-pressed pawl on a disc 66 then abuts a lug 36 on the rod 35. The projections 31, 32 are moved clear of each other and the tube 29 may be lowered until the lug 36 trips over the pawl causing the projections to re-interlock. The movement of the tube 29 is effected by a crankpin 65 which as the shaft 59rotates, depresses a collar 53 in toothed engagenent with the tube.

Title: Application of fertilizers and agricultural chemicals to the soil
IPC: A01C23/02
Filed: 1972-07-19
Abstract: 1379647 Applying fertilizer or chemicals to soil VSESOJUZNY NAUCHNO-ISSLEDOVATELSKY INSTITUT EFIROMASLICHNYKH KULTUR GSKB and UKRAINSKY NAUCHNO - ISSLEDOVATELSKY INSTITUT MEKHANIZATSII I ELEKTROFIKATSII SELSKOGO KHOZYAISTVA 19 July 1972 33762/72 Heading A1D Solid fertilizer and/or chemical material is deposited in the root system of a plant by adding it to water which is injected under pressure into a cavity in the soil formed by the liquid. The apparatus has a probe 35 at each side which on contacting a plant initiates the injection of a quantity of water mixed with a quantity of the material into the soil. The spool of a distributor valve 4 is normally to the right in Fig. 4 (not shown) so that oil supplied under pressure by a gear pump 1 driven by the tractor power-take-off 39 occupies a chamber 44 of a water injector 3, and is bled off to the oil tank 5 via pipeline 62 and limit valve 61. The pistons 45, 46 are thus held to the right, water having being drawn from tank 6 into chamber 48 of the injector 3 by the prior movement of the pistons 45, 46 to the right. Piston 54 is similarly held to the right in its cylinder 53 so that a mixing chamber 11 (to which the water chamber 48 is connected) is held in a forward position with respect to the apparatus. When the probe 35 is moved by contact with a plant, levers 68, 70 move the spool of distributor valve 4 to the left in Fig. 4. Pressure fluid is now supplied to the right-hand side of the piston 45 and the water is expelled from the chamber 48 into a pipeline 10. Pressure fluid is also supplied via valve 73 and pipe 55 to the piston 45 to move it to the left and hence move the mixing chamber 11 rearwards, so that water and material may be injected into the soil at a single spot. The pipeline 10 moves by reaction upwards in the mixing chamber 11 against spring 21 thus opening the outlet 25 for water and material, and closing with flap 33 the material inlet 15a to the mixing chamber 11. Material is supplied to the inlet 15a from a hopper 12 by a guide 66 and a metering mechanism 65 driven by a chain 64 from the corresponding wheel 64. The volume of the mixing chamber 11 is adjustable by screwing of the portions 13 and 14. In a modification, Fig. 8 (no; shown), the portion 13 is surrounded by a casing (28) supplied with water under pressure from the pipeline 10, and openings are provided in the wall of the chamber 11 to allow water to pass into the chamber 11.

Filed: 1971-07-20
Abstract: 1394058 Drawing BRITISH INSULATED CALLENDER'S CABLES Ltd 21 July 1972 [20 July 1971] 34031/71 Heading B3P A wire drawing machine includes at least one drawing block having a tapered surface for drawing a wire 4 through each of at least two dies, an independently adjustable drive means for each block having a working range in which the angular velocity of the block can change in response to speed variation of the wire engaged therewith and independently of the other blocks and means 16 for taking up drawn wire from the last block 14. In one embodiment, a wire 4, e.g. 0À04 mm. diameter copper wire, is passed through a first die 6 and around upper and lower blocks 2, 3 in a single loop 7 and so on until it reaches the final block 14, from where it is fed to a takeup reel 16. Alternative threading arrangements are shown in Figs. 6-9 (not shown). Each drawing block may have a concave surface or be formed by an aluminium oxide or tungsten carbide coated metal ring (24) (Fig. 10, not shown), which has an external surface (23) with a taper of 0À3-10 degrees and which is mounted between members (25, 26) threaded on a drive shaft (27) driven by a rotary displacement pneumatic motor. The exhaust air from the motor escapes through ports (32) to keep the block free from dust and lubricant. Alternatively, each block and reel 16 are coupled to an impeller 18 which is rotated by a liquid jet or air jet supplied from an air compressor 19 via a valve 20, a manifold 21 and valve 22. The valve 20 can be operated by a foot pedal to facilitate the threading up operation. After the wire 4 has been threaded through the machine, the pressure at the regulator 19 is adjusted to drive the blocks at 250 r.p.m., after which the speed of the reel 16 is adjusted by its associated valve 22 to cause slip between the wire and at least some of the blocks, the wire moving down the tapered block surface without stretching. Subsequently, the speed of each block at which slip occurs starting from the last block 14, is reduced by its associated valve 22 until the slip is eliminated. The air supply pressure is then raised to accelerate the machine to full speed. The drawing blocks may alternatively be driven by electric motors.
