Title: Method of twisting or stranding one or more filamentary elements and apparatus employing the same
IPC: D07B3/00
Filed: 1974-10-18
Abstract: 1489918 Twisting or stranding filamentous elements YOSHIDA ENG CO Ltd 18 Oct 1974 [24 Oct 1973] 45195/74 Heading D1T A method of twisting or stranding a single or a plurality of filamentous elements comprises guiding the element or elements at constant speed through three spaced points; causing the middle one of said points to rotate always in the same direction about the axis of the element or elements; and periodically increasing at a constant rate of change and decreasing at a constant rate of change the rotational speed of the middle point about said axis. In Fig. 8 four wires W are paid off from bobbins 111 to 114 and are delivered via a tension controlling dancer roller device 18 to a twisting apparatus 1, 2, 6, 9 of the present invention. In this twisting apparatus the three spaced points are (1) the guide roller 6; (2) a hollow tube 2; and (3) a guide roller 9. Each tube 2 acts as the aforesaid third point and contains means which when the tube 2 rotates, will cause the wire passing therethrough to rotate with the tube 2. The tubes 2 are rotated with increasing and decreasing speeds to impart twist and back-twist to the wires. Thereafter the wires are bunched at a die 7 and pass on to a conventional double twist stranding apparatus 10. Fig. 13 shows the third point as being a tube 201 containing opposed rollers 203, 204 between which the wire W passes. Fig. 7 shows the third point as being a tube 12 containing spaced rollers 13, 14 over which the wire W passes in a back-and-forth manner. Fig. 4 shows how the speed may be in one direction only varying between No and zero. In Fig. 9 (not shown) the present invention is used for stranding groups of four wires W into quad-stranded bunches, collecting five of these bunches together and then stranding these together by means according to the present invention to form a five-fold quad cable.

Title: Improvements in or relating to hydraulic or pneumatic actuator systems for rams incorporating ram-locking means
Inventor: KAHN PETER BRUNO
IPC: F15B11/08
Filed: 1961-12-21
Abstract: 1,045,881. Fluid pressure apparatus. PLESSEY CO. Ltd. March 20, 1963 [Dec. 21, 1961], No. 45941/61. Heading F1P. [Also in Division B7] In an hydraulic or pneumatic actuator system especially for reversing the thrust of aircraft engines, a double-acting main ram 1 for opening the thrust reverse doors is locked in its extended position, in which the doors are open, by a pivoted lever 30 movable to its fully released position by an actuator rod 28 before a control valve 9 operates to cause the main ram 1 to move. In the fully locked position a selector valve 40 is positioned with its piston valve 41 moved to the right and the remainder of the system is positioned as shown. In this position pressure fluid is supplied through a duct 8, a central chamber 16 in the control valve 9 and a duct 19 leading to the ram cylinder 3 to act upon the side 7 of the ram piston 2, the fluid on the other side thereof being vented to atmosphere through a port 23. A branch duct 48 leading from the duct 8 supplies through the selector valve 40 and a duct 52 the side 39 of a piston 26 which carries the actuator rod 28. When the piston valve 41 is moved to the position shown, pressure fluid passes to the side 38 of the piston 26 to thereby displace the lock lever 30 and a piston valve 11 of the control valve 9. The movement of the piston valve 11 cuts-off the supply to the side 7 of the ram piston 2 and when the lock lever 30 is fully released connects the supply to the side 6 to retract the ram 1 and vent the side 7 to atmosphere through ducts 19 and 24.

Filed: 1975-11-07
Abstract: 1502847 Winding webs A N DEE 7 Nov 1975 46211/75 Heading B8R [Also in Divisions B4 and F2] In a turret winding machine, first and second removable shafts 58, each arranged to drive and support at least one core 61, are mounted between a frame 56 and a housing 57 rotatable about a central shaft 55. At least one knife assembly on the frame and housing is movable to sever a web running to a complete roll on one of the shafts so that winding can be transferred on to an empty core on the other shaft. A wide web 22 unwound from a reel held on a braked shaft by a pneumatic expanding mandrel is printed, dried and slit by knives 47 co-operating with a grooved roller or felt pad, into a plurality of narrower webs 49, 50 which are fed to the two similar turret winders shown in Fig. 2. The shafts 58 are driven under the control of electromagnetic clutches actuated by ring contacts 75 on the central shafts 55. A plurality of cores 61 are mounted between brass rings 58e, Fig. 3A, on each first and second shaft 58, clutch washers 58g, keyed to the shafts, and friction washers 58f also being provided so that an axial compressive force imposed by a cam 56a, Fig. 2, at the end of each shaft 58 causes drive to be transmitted from the respective shaft to the cores. When the cores 61 on one shaft 58 of each turret winder are full, a motor 86 is manually actuated causing both to turn from the Fig. 4 to the Fig. 5 position and ultimately through 180 degrees. Such movement causes cams 89 on the central shafts 55 to operate pneumatic actuators 90 causing cylinder motors 96 to pivot pairs of knife assemblies 102 outwards, either clockwise or anticlockwise, into the Fig. 5 position, thus cutting the webs which then start to wind on to the adhesively pre-coated empty cores 61<SP>1</SP> on the other shafts. The ring contacts 75 are such that drive to the respective shafts 58 is transmitted via the clutches just before, during and just after winding thereon. The knife assemblies may incorporate serrated knives optionally with a heated wire cutting device, or spikes. A similar turret and cutter device is used to support the unwinding reel so that a wide web from an expiring reel can be cut and spliced on to a wide web from a new reel.

Abstract: 1364479 Automatic vehicle control ROBERT BOSCH GmbH 6 Oct 1971 [7 Oct 1970] 46375/71 Addition to 1342633 Heading B7H [Also in Division G3] The automatically controlled vehicle of the parent Specification 1,342,633 includes a monitoring device for continuously monitoring the position of the vehicle relative to a boundary of the surface to be travelled by the vehicle, the monitoring device including at least one trans-- mitter for emitting signals and at least one receiver for receiving signals reflected from the boundary, the monitoring device being adapted to exert an influence upon the steering device for the vehicle so as to maintain the vehicle on a desired path of travel. As described the vehicle 1 has a transmitter 4 which emits electromagnetic or mechanical oscillations towards a boundary 3 which is parallel to the desired path of travel. The reflected signal is detected by one or more receivers 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 and the signals from the receivers 5 to 9 are passed to a digitalanalogue converter 10. The output from the converter 10 is passed, via a variable resistance 11, to an amplifier 12, the output of which controls a steering motor 14 to maintain the vehicle on the desired path of travel. The movable tap of the variable resistance 11 is mechanically connected to a servomotor 13 which moves the tap in accordance with the distance of the vehicle from the boundary 3, the result being that the total amplification of the control circuit remains constant.  In a modification the signals from the transmitter may be directed towards an end wall of the room, as opposed to a side wall, and the monitoring device may be rotated through 180 degrees. Alternatively two monitoring devices may be provided.
Patent GB-464563-A (GB)
Abstract: 464,563. Ticket - issuing machines. BLACK, H. D. (General Register Corpora-- tion) Aug. 19, 1936, No. 22803. [Class 106 (iii)] In a machine for issuing one or more tickets in a single cycle of operation, depression of a selected key 38 effects the delivery of a ticket strip of predetermined length, a motor-driven reciprocating rack 98 being moved into engagement with the pinion 96 driving the feed pinwheel 86 after a delay determined by the position of the selector member 44 which is actuated by the selected key 38. An arm 34 is depressed by the key 38 causing a latching lever 26 to move from under a lever 22 and thus release a pin 20 on a clutch lever 16 whose end 14 is then moved by a spring into the path of the teeth of a member 12, the parts being shaped to avoid the noise of snap action. Movement of the arm 34 also depresses a plate 136 to close the switch 144 of the driving motor which now drives the clutch 12, cams 112, 114, and an eccentric 58. The cam 112 operates to free the pinion 96 from a detent 102, while the eccentric 58 moves a yoke 60 to drive the rack bar 70 leftwards until its end 72 engages the projection 42 of the actuated selector member 44. The left-hand end of the rack bar 70 is then cammed upwards and the bar is swung about its pivot pin 66 which is guided in a slot 68, with the result that a roller 74 on the bar forces downwards a pivoted detent 76 to free a member 82 secured to the feed pinwheel 86. At the same time, the rack 98 is moved downwards into engagement with the pinion 96, and during the further leftward movement of the bar 70 the latter drives the pinion 96 and the pinwheel 86 to feed the ticket strip. At the left-hand dead centre position of the eccentric 58, the cam 112 engages successively levers 148, 26 to lock plate 136 and to raise arm 34, moving plate 36 upwards and raising the depressed key 38, whereby the end of bar 70 is released, the rack 98 disengaged from pinion 96, and detent 76 permitted to engage member 82. During the reverse movement of the bar 70 the cam 114 operates a lever 126 to move a knife 130 over a fixed blade 132 to cut-off the ticket strip. At the end of the cycle the levers 26, 148 are released by the cam 112 and the motor circuit is opened. A plurality of adjacent machines may be driven by a common electric motor.

Filed: 1970-10-06
Abstract: 1364443 Brake adjusters GIRLING Ltd 1 Oct 1971 [6 Oct 1970] 47441/70 Heading F2E An automatic adjuster for an internal shoe drum brake includes a rotatable adjuster member arranged parallel with the backplate of the brake and transmitting means for transmitting mechanical brake shoe movement signals and comprising means to store the signals each representative of a predetermined minimum movement of the brake shoes incrementally and drive means responsive to a predetermined number of the stored signals and operable to effect rotation of the adjuster member. Upon actuation of the brake shoes a cable 11 (Fig. 2) is released from tension and allows a lever 13 to move anticlockwise under the action of a spring 16 to move a pawl 50 over a toothed wheel 19. If brake wear has taken place, the pawl 50 jumps a tooth, and upon brake release, reverse pawl movement causes clockwise movement of the wheel 19 and two lobed cams 20 on either side. An L-shaped, U-section lever 21 has a cam follower 23 biased against the cams 20, and the cam movement causes some anticlockwise lever movement followed by a greater clockwise movement as the follower passes over the lobe of each cam, which, in turn, causes a pawl 29 (Fig. 3), pivoted intermediate the ends of a lever 27 having one end pivoted in a sleeve 26 of lever 21, to rotate a wheel 31 clockwise. This wheel movement rotates a differential screw thread adjuster (Fig. 1), fixed to the brake backplate 10, to adjust the distance between the ends of two tappets T abutting the shoe ends. Manual adjustment of the tappets T is achieved by rotating a wire collar 32 (Fig. 5) on one side of the wheel 31 to disengage the pawl 29 and inserting an allen key into a socket in a boss 40 to rotate a contrate wheel 41 which is coupled to the wheel 31. The collar 32 is rotated by a bracket 38 biased to an inoperative position by a torsion spring 42, and the bracket, when moved, exposes the socket.
