Patent GB-550335-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in remote control installations
IPC: G08C19/14
Filed: 1941-07-05
Abstract: 550,335. Selective signalling. LANDIS & GYR SOC. ANON. July 5, 1941, No. 8520. Convention date, July 5, 1940. [Class 40 (i)] A signal is sent by interrupting a normally flowing alternating current of one frequency for an instant and simultaneously sending a current of another frequency the operation being ineffective except to give an alarm unless the normally flowing current is received again within a predetermined time. As shown, relays A, B, C at the transmitter are normally energized and current of a frequency f2 passes to line. On the operation of key ST, relays A and C fall back at once and D pulls up to cause the termination of the transmission of frequency f2 and the connecting up of a generator Ql of frequency f1. After an interval determined by a short circuit including condenser K and resistance W2, B falls back and releases D to cause the re-application to the line of frequency f2. At the receiver, relay G is normally energized by the current of frequency f2 and holds relay H operated. On the cessation of this frequency when a signal is received, these relays fall and make circuits for M, which pulls up sluggishly on account of a short circuit W5, K2, and for L which pulls up immediately and locks up. A momentary circuit is made also for I which holds for an instant owing to a short circuit K1, W3. The signal of frequency f1 energizes E before I falls back and K thereupon pulls up and locks and controls the desired operation provided that G and H have been re-operated by the reconnection of the normally flowing current of frequency f2. If however, this current remains disconnected long enough for I to fall and for M to pull up, no operation of K takes place and an alarm O is operated. To restore conditions to normal, the reset key RT, RT1 at the respective stations are operated.

Abstract: 751,396. Welding by fusion. CHICAGO BRIDGE & IRON CO. March 25, 1954; No. 8728/54. Class 83 (4). In submerged arc welding apparatus for welding upright workpieces, e.g. the vertically adjacent plates of a storage tank, comprising a carriage mounted adjacent the work for horizontal movement relatively thereto and means on the carriage for feeding an electrode to the work, rollers on vertical shafts on the carriage are provided over 'which an endless resilient belt is trained to engage the work beneath the electrode to support against the work flux fed on to the belt, the belt having a bevelled outer upper edge. The carriage formed by a framework of members 16, 23 is moved over a rail 15, temporarily fixed to the upper workpiece 10, by two grooved rollers 22 fixed to the member 16 by adjustable gearings, one roller 22 being driven by a motor 24 on the frame. Rollers 63 space the bottom of the frame from the lower workpiece 11. Electrode wire 32 is fed from a reel 29 on the frame through a hose 30 to a holder 31 which is adjustably mounted on a plate 43 in turn adjustably mounted on a plate 44 secured to a member 23. Two rollers 50, 51 with toothed lower flanges are mounted on the plate 43 with a rubber &c. bevelled belt 53 around them in contact with the workpiece 11 so that movement of the carriage results in rotation of the belt. Flux is fed from a hopper 46 about the electrode end to be held against the work by the belt. A scraper 55 removes flux adhering to the belt and a hopper 57 directs falling flux ,into a container 60. The centre of gravity of the carriage is so located that the engagement of the belt 53 with the workpiece 11 biases the carriage from a freely hanging position.

Filed: 1975-03-03
Abstract: 1471848 Collating sheets HARRIS CORP 3 March 1975 [7 March 1974] 8781/75 Heading B8R Signatures from presses 10, 11, Fig. 1, are selectively delivered either to stackers 56, 56a, or, by the actuation of a diverter such as 52a, comprising gates 53a, 57a, Fig. 4, and conveyers 54a, to a conveyer 55, and thence to hoppers 20, 21, 22, 23 of stuffers 12, 13, 14, 15. Each stuffer is arranged as a 180 degree sector and comprises the hopper as 20 for freshly-printed sheets and a plurality of hoppers for preprinted sheets, together with a plurality of pockets moving in an arcuate path below the hoppers, and means for separating a signature from the bottom of each hopper and depositing it in a passing pocket, so as to form collated stacks in each hopper. The conveyer 55 travels in a closed path over the hoppers 20-23 in turn, and before each hopper as 20 there is a counter 62, Fig. 2, which actuates a stop 65 to create gaps between batches of predetermined numbers of signatures in overlapping stream thereof. A deflector 73 is controlled by a switch 70 detecting a minimal level of signatures in the hopper, and by a gap sensor 66, so that if the hopper requires signatures they are deflected into it in batches, and if not they pass on along the conveyer 55. Surplus signatures can be diverted out of the circuit to an overflow, e.g. by the gate 57a. The apparatus can be set so that signatures from the press 10 go to hoppers 20, 21 and from the press 11 to hoppers 22, 23, or so that signatures from press 10 or 11 go to all four hoppers. Fig. 5 (not shown) illustrates an arrangement of two presses and two stuffers. Fig. 6 (not shown) illustrates an arrangement of two presses and four stuffers, wherein signatures from press (A) can be directed to hoppers (200) and (201) or (200) and (202), while those from press (B) can be delivered to hoppers (203) and (202) or (203) and (201).
