IPC: G05B19/33
Filed: 1967-08-02
Abstract: 1, 248, 392. Measuring displacement electrically. RELIANCE GEAR CO. Ltd. Oct. 1, 1968, [Aug. 2, 1967], No. 35459/67. Heading G1N. Apparatus for the remote indication of the displacement, translatory or rotary, of a movable member, e.g. a machine tool slide, includes means for automatically setting the indicator to zero at any selected position of the member. As shown, the system comprises a synchrotransmitter 1 and a synchro-receiver 2 and includes a synchro-differential 3 for manual zeroing and a synchro-differential 6 for automatic zeroing, a switch 11 enabling either to be selected. For automatic zeroing to establish a desired datum position, switch 11 is set in the position shown and switch 10 is set to connect the output from R2 and R3 through amplifier 9 to motor 8 to drive the synchro-differential 6 until there is zero voltage between R2 and R3 and the indicator (not shown) reads zero. To work from this datum, switch 10 is then set to the position shown so that the indicator will read the displacement of the actual position of the member from the set datum. If the manual zero channel is selected, the synchrodifferential 6 will "store" the automatically set datum for later use. The invention is also applicable to systems having coarse and fine channels by duplication of the synchro-differentials.

Filed: 1929-11-21
Abstract: 337,232. Primavesi, O., and Vereinigte Deutsche Textilwerke Akt.-Ges. Nov. 21, 1929. Picking-motions; shuttles.-In a loom in which the shed is formed progressively in an undulating line across the weaving width, each single weft is picked by a shuttle which consists of a pair of rollers and a bobbin rotatable about the axis of the same and wound with the measured length of weft. The shuttle pays out the weft as it enters the weaving width and leaves it at the end. thereof. In some cases, a length of weft equal to two shots is divided between two shuttles, the weft first being unwound from the first shuttle and then, after the first interweaving of that part of the thread and the entrance of the second shuttle into its shed, the remainder of the weft is unwound from both shuttles. The weft carriers or shuttles c, Fig. 7, are each formed of a bobbin 17, rotatable between a pair of roller parts 15 and adapted to be supplied with sufficient weft for one shot. A spring 18 is adapted to be pressed against the bobbin to prevent its premature rotation by a pusher 19 for inserting the shuttles into the sheds. The warps, arranged vertically, are shed by healds 5, Fig. 5, having ends secured at 6 and passing over pulleys or eccentrics 7 arranged helically on shafts, the other ends of the healds, after passing over rollers 9, being secured to helical springs &c. The shuttles are propelled through the sheds by lifters 10 which are operated in a manner similar to that of the shedding by healds 11 controlled by helically-arranged eccentrics 14. The lifters 10 serve also to beat up the weft as shown in Fig. 2, which also shows a single thread unwinding simultaneously from two shuttles c to form two picks in different sheds. In some cases, the shuttles c, Fig. 8, are fed by an endless carrier 21 having shoes 22 bearing on the bobbins of the shuttles to prevent their rotation and to cause them to move along rails 20, the ends of the wefts being secured by spring-jaws 24. In use, each shuttle is released when its shoe 22 rises and moves by its inertia into the shed when the lifter 10 at the right is at its lowest position. When the shuttle to the left of Fig. 8 is in the position shown, and the lifters have begun to beat up the weft, fixed cam parts 25 are engaged by the jaws 24, which thereupon release the weft end.
