Title: Improvements in guillotines and like cutting machines
IPC: B26D7/01
Filed: 1946-11-04
Abstract: 618,399. Guillotine machines. DORIN, A. Nov. 4, 1946, No. 32678. [Class 31(i)] In a guillotine cutting machine, operated by fluid pressure, the two ends of the knife have direct and substantially vertical connection with two cylinders arranged so as to produce different speeds of descent of the two ends. The knife preferably starts its descent with its cutting edge inclined to the top-plate and finishes with its edge parallel to the top plate, and the cylinders are arranged so that they apply an equal force to each end of the knife. Figs. 1 and 3 show the machine in front and side elevation respectively and Fig. 4 is a cross section through the knife and operating cylinders. In Figs. 1 and 3 the top plate 10, supported by a box structure 11 at its front end and a pair of pillars 12 at its rear, has a slide 22 with vertical ribs 23 which feeds the work between a pair of guides 17 to the knife. The slide is connected to an endless chain 26 and can be moved by the hand wheel 38 whose spindle carries a bevel wheel 39 which meshes with another bevel connected to wheel 28 which drives the chain. The slide can also be power operated; chain-wheel 28 is fast with spindle 29 and gear 31. the latter can be connected to gear 34 by raising hand lever 33 which is pivoted about the axis of gear 34 and carries an idler gear 32 so that gear 32 transmits the drive from gear 34 to gear 31; the gear 34 is driven from motor 37 by belts 36 and a worm-reduction gear in gearbox 30. The slide 22 can be locked in any position by moving lever 70, which is connected to a long wedge member (not shown) disposed between the slide 22 and its guide members. The knife 19 is carried by holder 18 whose two ends are connected to pistons 46 and 49 working in cylinders 44, 45 of different bore and stroke to produce the desired different speed of descent of the two ends of the knife. To ensure the application of equal force to each end of the knife, the flow of fluid to cylinder 44 may be throttled. Pressure is obtained from pump 43 driven from motor 37 through belts 36 and 41, and fluid is distributed by valve 86 either through pipes 89 to the two cylinders to lower the knife, the supply to cylinder 44 being throttled by valve 87, or through pipes 90 thence through ports 53 and tubes 54 into the hollow piston rods 47, 50 to raise the knife. The distributing valve 86 may be operated manually or automatically by connections (not shown) with the treadle 55. Depression of the treadle 55 lowers the presser weight 20, Fig. 4, on to the work prior to cutting, and raises the guard rail 64. The position of slide 22 is indicated by a calibrated band 84, Fig. 1, which moves past a window 74 and is driven by shaft 78 and bevel gears 79 from the shaft 29 which drives the slide.

Patent GB-981109-A (GB)
Title: Document feeding and aligning apparatus
IPC: G06K13/063
Filed: 1963-08-20
Abstract: 981,109. Feeding sheets. INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS MACHINES CORPORATION. Aug. 20, 1963 [Sept. 7, 1962], No. 32803/63. Heading B6B. Sheets such as cheques 50 fed along a feed path are aligned against a side registration edge 51 by passing them beneath a pair of caster rollers 10 which are biased to an angle oblique to the edge 51. As shown, the casters 10 are urged against two inclined rollers 12 having develled drive surfaces 11, these rollers being driven at the same speed by belts 17, and the cheques 50 are guided by a pair of spaced plates 14, 15. The registration edge 51 comprises a radial shoulder of a rotating drum 52. The coefficient of friction between the surfaces 11 of the rollers 12 and a cheque, is less than that between the casters 10 and a cheque. Each caster 10 is freely rotatable in the lower end of a laterally offset support arm 19, the upper end of which has a vertical spindle arranged in bearings in a housing 23. Each arm 19 is urged by a spring 25 to turn relatively to the housing 23 through a preselected cocking angle. Each housing 23 is fulcrumed on a fixed frame 31 and is urged downwardly by a constant-force type of helical spring towards the rollers 12. Associated with each caster 10 and housing 23 is a damping control mechanism 35 which ensures that a constant downward force is exerted on each caster, and that upward movements thereof are damped. Each damper 35 is in a casing secured to an arm 38 of the fixed frame 31, and includes a central fixed rod which passes freely through two co-operating locking members. The bottom locking member is urged upwardly by a coil spring which abuts the top of the associated housing 23, and has an upper tapered mouth containing a ring of steel bars which are in contact with the central rod; the top locking member is urged downwardly by a coil spring and engages and confines the steel balls. Thus, sudden upward movements of the housing 23 and caster 10 cause the balls to lock against the central rod in the damper 35. In operation, when the leading end of a cheque 50 is pinched between the pair of casters 10 and the tapered surfaces of the rollers 12, the casters are first pulled into the line of feeding against the action of their springs 25; thereafter, on continued feeding of the cheque, the casters are swung by their springs to rotate in a plane inclined to the line of cheque feed to urge the cheque against the registration edge 51. As the casters are swivelled to their inclined positions, they engage larger diameter portions of the rollers 12 and are caused to run at increased speeds; thus, the resultant velocity of the cheques in the direction of cheque feed is substantially the same before, during, and after side registration.

Title: Improvements in and relating to presses for drawing sheet metal
IPC: B21D24/06
Filed: 1939-12-28
Abstract: 534,122. Cupping. RHODES, C. J. Dec. 28, 1939, No. 32994. [Classes 83 (iv)] In a press for drawing sheet metal, of the kind consisting of an upper movable die co-operating with a lower die having a former which moves towards the movable die during drawing, the pressure pins on the draw ring engage a ring which slidably surrounds the rod carrying the former and rests on the pressure platform through which the former is operated. The draw ring 3a carries short pins 3b engaging a ring 4 which is disposed in an opening in the head plate 1 and slidably engages the rod 5 which carries the former 3. The pressure from the upper die as it moves downwards is transmitted to the pressure platform 8 through draw ring 3a, pins 3b and ring 4 and so operates racks 18 pivoted to the platform and engaging pinions 16 meshing with teeth on the body 17 carried by the rod 5 so as to raise the former 3. During this movement a spring 24 between a washer 23 on the rod 5 and a member 25 bridging the cheeks of a fixed plate 11, is compressed so that when the upper die is returned the parts are returned to their original position. The plate 11 is fixed to the head plate by four rods 7 which serve as guides for the pressure platform and prevent uneven pressure between the upper die and draw ring and so avoid wrinkles in the metal.

Abstract: 1498482 Metallurgical vessels EISENWERK GES MAXIMILIANSHUTTE mbH 7 Aug 1975 [8 Aug 1974]. 33054/75 Heading F4B A metal refining vessel comprises a refractory lining 33 Fig. 1 and, extending through the lining, one or more nozzles or tuyeres each having two concentric annular openings, an inner one 5 through which oxygen is to be blown into the vessel and an outer one 3 for protective jacket fluid, the tuyeres having a central core 8 of refractory material or metal. The tuyere of Fig. 1 is embedded in the lining, the outer tube 1 being of mild steel. The tube 2 is of special steel, the gap 3 between tubes 1 and 2 serving for the introduction of the protective fluid which may be natural gas, propane, butane or fuel oil. The next tube 4 also of special steel forms gap 5 for the oxygen which may be loaded with suspended solid materials, e.g. lime. The next tube 6 is of copper, providing a gap 7 for the introduction of other materials as necessary. Guides may be positioned in the annular gap 5 which give the oxygen a spin to ensure more rapid mixing with the molten metal. In the form of Fig. 3 the outer and inner annular openings are formed by a series of small channels 15, 16. The annular opening 20 for the oxygen has walls protected against abrasion by the solid matter in the oxygen. The copper tube 17 has a coating 18 of powdered metal applied by spraying. Tube 19 is chromium plated or is coated with metal powder or oxide-ceramic powder. A helical guide 25 gives the oxygen stream a spin. The whole tuyere is placed inside a mild steel tube 22 with a small gap 24 allowing the tuyere to be readily removed. The gap 24 may be used for a flow of protective hydrocarbon or filled with ceramic powder. The core 26 has a central tube 27 to accommodate measuring instruments 28 for determining the length of the tuyere. Other tubes 29, 30, of special steel, are for introducing solids, e.g. alloying elements, which are not suitable for loading in the oxygen stream. They may be introduced in an inert gas, e.g. nitrogen. Alternatively they may be used to introduce a gas or steam to stir the metal in the vessel. The tubes forming the annular openings are extended below the bottom of the vessel for connection to supply ducts (Fig. 4, not shown). The tuyere may have a cross-section other than circular, e.g. oval or polygonal and they may be in the side or bottom of the vessel. If in the bottom they may be inclined to the axis of the vessel to induce rotation in the melt.

Title: Improvements in or relating to machines organised for rounding shoe soles
IPC: A43D27/00
Filed: 1948-12-22
Abstract: 648,223. Rough rounding. BRITISH UNITED SHOE MACHINERY CO., Ltd. (United Shoe Machinery Corporation). Dec. 22, 1948, No. 33099. [Class 17(i)] In a machine of the Goodyear Rough Rounding and Channelling type, of the general type such as described in Specification 13301/10, [Class 17(i)], and in U.S.A. Specification 1,331,789 the shoe is fed past a knife step - by - step by co-operation of the bottom rest and the crease guide and pressure between sole margin and guide is relieved by movement of the anvil during each feeding movement. The machine has a knife 12, a crease guide 14, a fore part guide 16, an anvil 20 and a bottom rest 10, of normal construction. The fore part guide 16 is brought in and out of operation by depression of a treadle rod 30 acting through mechanism 35 which also allows the crease guide 14 to rise slightly but not above the welt by pivoting at 34 so that it is always opposite part of the bottom rest to act to feed the shoe. The crease guide 14 is mounted on an arm 32 pivoted at 34 on a block 52 and derives its feed motion from an eccentric strap 72 through an arm 62 extending rearwardly through a horizontal slot 66 in a bracket 68, the arm 32 turning in the horizontal plane with the block 52 and a shank 54 which is mounted in a bore 56. A cam disc 26 gives similar feed motion to the bottom rest 10 in the normal way. The anvil 20 is so shaped, Fig. 5, that when in its advanced position its upper-engaging edge forces the welt and sole away from the crease guide 14 so that the guide's tip only engages the welt with light pressure and any tendency to a back feed action is prevented. In operation, the sole margin is gripped between the bottom rest 10 and the crease guide 14, the intermittent feeding movements of which occur simultaneously, and at the completion of which the anvil 20 advances, relieving pressure on the guide 14 as its return stroke begins. The knife advances during the guide's return stroke until it reaches its furthest point where it and the anvil grip the work and the bottom rest 10 makes a quick return stroke. The anvil withdraws at the end of the guide's return stroke allowing it to grip the work again preparatory to the next feed stroke.
