The synchromesh clutch 38 is the same as that 38 on the output shaft 55, with a hub 36 splined on hubs 33 splined on the sleeve 12 and retained axially by circlips. Passing through clearance holes in the hub 36 are three pins 40 having waisted central portions and carrying male cones 41, which, on initial engagement with female cones 31 on the wheels 14, 28, cause the waisted portions of the pins 40 to move to eccentric balking positions in the bores of the hub 36, until freed by synchronism to permit the hub 36 to complete its axial travel and engage teeth 30 on the wheels. Two sets of three tangential blade springs 42, Fig. 4, not shown, bear centrally on the waisted portions of the pins 40 and at their ends or axial projections 43 of rings 44, to impart the initial axial movement to the male cones 41, to centre the pins 40 in the bores of the hub 36 after synchronization, and to be depressed by the pins during the final positive engaging movement. The sliding cluster wheel pair 45, 46 is made up of two wheels secured together by a circlip 47 with an 0-ring 48 compressed between the wheels to damp any tendency for relative movement. A power take-off shaft 13 passes through the aligned input and intermediate sleeves 11, 12.

Abstract: 1,153,861. Crates; loading crates; conveyers. H. G. MARTIN. 26 May, 1966 [27 May, 1965; 3 June, 1965], Nos. 22606/65 and 23722/65. Headings B8A, B8C and B8P. The base of a crate for bottles, &c., includes a rod-shaped support member 6 or 7 which is displaceable upwardly and to one side to permit bottles to be inserted into the crate through the base. In the form shown the crate is made of heavy gauge wire, and has separators 1, la, 2, 2a defining compartments for individual bottles. The bases of the bottles are normally supported by the rods 6, 7 which rest on crosswires 12, link members 8, 9 resting on a longitudinal separator 1. A side rod (7a), Fig. 4 (not shown), may be attached to the rod (7) to facilitate manual displacement of the crate bottom. In another form the support member may comprise part of a rectangular frame loosely supported at each end by a fixed W-shaped stirrup (14), Fig. 5 (not shown). Longitudinal rods (17) of the frame form the displaceable bottle support. In further embodiments longitudinal rods (19), Figs. 7, 8 (not shown), are pivoted through arms (20) about the mid-points of the end walls of the crates so as to be swingable either inwardly (Fig. 7) or outwardly (Fig. 8) to allow bottles to be inserted. The sides of the crate may be formed by flat plates, instead of by open frameworks. Loading apparatus.-Apparatus is described whereby bottles may be packed into a crate (38), Fig. 11 (not shown), which has outwardly pivotable arms (39) connected to the displaceable longitudinal bottle-supporting rods, and which has a central longitudinal channel (30) in its base. The apparatus comprises three parallel coplanar continuously moving conveyers 31, 32, 33, Fig. 10, on which bottles are marshalled by selectors 34, 35. The surfaces of the conveyers may be lubricated with soapy water to enable the bottles to slide easily when restrained by the selectors 34, 35. A crate 38 is placed over the marshalled bottles, the arms 39 being splayed apart to allow the bottles to enter the crate, which is then conveyed, with the bottles, beyond the ends of the outer conveyers 31, 33. The central conveyer 32 is longer than the other two, and the crate falls downwardly on to idling rollers 37 below the level of the conveyer 32, which is received by the channel 30 in the crate base. The bottles are still supported on the conveyer 32, and are thus raised above the base of the crate, allowing the longitudinal support rods carried by the arms 39 to fall back to their lower bottlesupporting positions. As the crate is conveyed off the end of the conveyer 32 the bottles fall back on to the crate bottom, the whole crate being carried by idlers 42 at the same level as the idlers 37. The first idler 41 beyond the end of the conveyer 32 is lower than the rest, and is of a cushioning material, to receive the leading bottles falling from the crate if the crate bottom is not correctly positioned. This prevents further feed of the crate, and operates an alarm.

Title: Improvements in fluid-pressure operated control systems
Inventor: GROUT JOHN ARTHUR MUNFORD
IPC: F15B20/00
Filed: 1953-08-28
Abstract: 778,198. Fluid-pressure servomotor control systems. KENT, Ltd., G. Nov. 25, 1954 [Aug. 28, 1953], No. 23862/53. Class 135. In a pneumatic control system, the displaceable member 5 of the power actuator is coupled to a displaceable member 17 in an hydraulic circuit, and a valve or valves 26 in the hydraulic circuit operate in response to failure of the air supply to the pneumatic section to prevent displacement of liquid in the hydraulic circuit and so lock the two displaceable members in the position to which they have been adjusted. As shown, the valves 26 are diaphragm-operated cut-off valves subject to the main air supply in the pipe 7, and when the air supply fails, the valves close and prevent circulation of liquid from one side of the piston 17 to the other. The members 5, 17 are connected to the ends of a lever 2 which actuates an output shaft 1, the latter, in its turn, actuating a valve controlling a variable condition, or a rheostat &c. The pneumatic section comprises a bellows 12 by which a variable pressure is applied to actuate a valve 8, the latter controlling the movement of member 5. A negative feedback from member 5 is provided by a wedge 13 which acts on a bell crank 14 to vary the force of a spring 16 loading bellows 12. When the air supply fails, shaft 1 can be actuated by member 17 by applying an hydraulic pressure through one of two lines 30, 31 connected to the two sides of member 17. Thus, if a pressure is applied through line 30, this pressure will open a non-return valve 40 and be applied to the top side of piston 17, and, at the same time; it will be applied through a line 42 to act on, and open, a valve 35 which allows the liquid on the lower side of piston 17 to exhaust through line 31. In a modification, the two valve combinations 32 are replaced by four cam-operated cut-off valves connected in series across the valves 26.

Abstract: 1,037,280. Cutting apparatus. LAMB-GRAYS HARBOR CO. Inc. June 4, 1965, No. 23921/65. Heading B4B. The fly blade F, Fig. 2, of a paper-cutting machine is adjusted relative to an anvil blade A by an adjustable eccentric-bearing apparatus comprising a base having two spaced housings 14 for the anvil blade and a driven mandrel 10, Fig. 5 (not shown), bearing the fly blade and having mounting trunnions 11 contained in bearings 12. Each of the housings comprises a bottom portion fixed to the base and an upper band-like portion with a split 17, Fig. 2, at one side, a bearing ring 18, Fig. 5 (not shown), being rotatably fitted therein. Each bearing ring has an eccentric opening and is externally toothed at 18t so that operation of a wormshaft 19 meshing therewith rotates the ring and thus adjusts the fly blade relative to the anvil blade. since the rings are axially aligned and mount the trunnions and the mandrel equally eccentrically. The bearing rings 18 are retained in their housings 14 by face plates 14f bolted at 14b and provided with marker plates 30, Fig. 2. Adjustment of the rings 18 turns the plates 30 relative to graduated stationary blanks 31. Screws 35 tighten the separated end slits 17 together and clamp the enclosed band portion of each housing about the contained ring 18 to secure it in any position of rotary adjustment. The amount of band opening is controlled by adjustment of locked cap screws 40, Fig. 1 (not shown), applied between the screws 35. The housings 14 mounted on the base bars 15 may also be initially adjusted by screws 42, Fig. 4 (not shown), and 43 mounted in plates 44 fixed to the bars 15. The apparatus may alternatively be employed with a cutter having two co-operating fly-knives.
