Abstract: 1341096 Tail winding removal OFFICINE SAVIO S & P 14 May 1971 [18 May 1970 8 April 1971] 15029/71 Heading D1J Apparatus for preparing yarn cops by loosening, displacing, drawing-off and severing a tail winding of said cop comprises progressing means for progressing a plurality of said cops in turn through a succession of treatment, stations providing respectively: loosening means for loosening the tail winding, first displacing means for displacing the loosened tail windings away from the main windings, and second displacement means for positively displacing any tail windings not so displaced in the previous station, and further comprising draw-off means for drawing off the displaced tail windings and severing means for severing the drawn-off tail windings. The cops 53 are conveyed in compartments 2 on a conveyor which is indexed step-wise to position the cops below the respective treatment stations, means, e.g. lifting rod 6 being provided to elevate the cops into the stations to be engaged by rotating mandrels 20, 24, 27 respectively. In the first treatment station, the tail winding is acted upon by at least one friction pad 21 on the end of a pivoted arm 22. The arm 22 is intermittently raised and lowered by means of a cam arrangement or a pneumatic piston and cylinder arrangement. The engaging mandrel is axially moved to engage and disengage the cop in timed sequence with the progression of the conveyor.  In the first displacing station, the loosened tail winding is acted on by one or more pairs of jaws 26 which close on the tail winding, more towards the base of the cop in the closed position, open, return to the original position in the open position and repeat the cycle. In the event of sufficient displacement of the tail winding, when the cop drops back into its compartment 2, the tail winding leaves the end of the cop and is drawn off by suction duct 30 and conveyed past severing shears 31, 32 which cut the yarn. The cop is then moved to the second displacing station where it is acted upon by a scraping spatula 28 which displaces any tail winding not displaced in the first displacing station. The displaced tail winding is drawn off by the suction duct 30 and severed by shears 31, 32. Various cam or pneumatic arrangements are described for the operation of the various components of the stations.

Title: Horizontal boring machine
IPC: B23Q1/01
Filed: 1944-08-09
Abstract: 592,887. Boring and facing machines. VLIEG, C. B. DE. Aug. 9, 1944, No. 15161. [Class 83 (iii)] A boring and facing machine of the type in which a horizontal spindle is carried in a vertically adjustable saddle on a column secured to the side of a bed adjacent the end thereof, is characterized in that the spindle extends at right angles to the bed guideways and midway between the bed ends, a saddle being movable along the guideways and having guides on its upper surface parallel to the spindle for a work platen which is the same ' length as the saddle, whereby, at all working positions of the platen, there is no overhang at the saddle ends. The tool spindle 24, Fig. 4, adapted for the usual axial feed is mounted for vertical sliding movement on a column 12. The latter is rigidly secured to a horizontal bed 11 with ways at right angles to the spindle axis. A saddle 23 movable by power means on the bed ways carries a work platen 25 which is power traversed by an independent electric motor 73, Fig. 5, a slip clutch 75, chain 74, and feed screw 66. The power traverse of the platen enables rapid positioning of the work and is used in conjunction with an adjustable stop 79 which arrests the platen in a pre-determined position when an inclined stop face adjacent to the feed nut on the platen strikes the stop surface 79 the drive slipping when this position is reached. The inclined stop faces result in a wedging action which forces a V-shaped guide rib 29 on the platen, Fig. 6, into closer relation with a corresponding guideway 28 on the saddle, thus automatically locking the platen for a working operation. Adjustment of the wedge stop 79 is by means of a screw 82, bevel gearing, and a shaft 84 provided with a hand wheel 85, an indicator scale 91 and micrometer head 86 showing the setting made.

Patent GB-1056641-A (GB)
Title: Electronic combination lock
Inventor: WOLFE JAMES GEORGE
IPC: G07C9/00
Filed: 1965-04-09
Abstract: 1,056,641. Combination locks. HALLIBURTON CO. April 9, 1965, No. 15277/64. Heading E2A. [Also in Division H3]. An electronic combination lock comprises a plurality of electronic circuits connected in cascade, switch means associated with each circuit for individually controlling power thereto and latch actuating means adapted to operate in response to an operating signal from the end circuit of the cascade, the arrangement being such that the electronic circuits must be energized in sequence along the cascade before the operating signal can be derived from the end circuit. As shown, the lock which is powered from a rectified source of A.C. comprises a latch-actuating solenoid 120 which is energised from a transistor Q15 the output of which is derived from transistors Q2-Q13 arranged in flip flop circuits controlled by combination setting switches SS1-SS10. The solenoid 120 is actuated by depressing switches S1-S10 in the proper sequence, i.e. according to the settings of the switches SS1-SS10. When the first switch S7, corresponding to the first setting switch SS1. is depressed, a pulse is applied to transistor Q3, and a resistance-capacity holding circuit R1, C1, R2 is energized to maintain through a transistor Q1 the supply to transistor Q3 for a predetermined time when the switch is released. When the switch S3, is depressed. transistor Q4 is turned "on" which causes transistor Q5, which is normally "on" to flip to "off", the return for the emitter of the transistor being through the transistor Q3 which, in the "on" condition offers a short circuit path to the return line 26. When the third switch S9 is depressed, transistor Q6 is turned "on" to cause transistor Q7 to flip to the "off" condition, the emitter of transistor Q6 being connected to line 26 through transistors Q3 and Q4. If the latter are non-conducting or transistor Q6 cannot be turned "on" a diode CR2 provides a return path to line 90, diode CR1 and transistor Q2, which, if turned "on" will reset the entire circuit by turning off transistor Q3 and thus opening the return circuit of all transistors Q4, Q6..Q12. Further switches S6, S10, S1 are operated in sequence as described above, the output of transistor Q13 being applied to a buffer stage transistor Q14 which drives the transistor Q15. Resistors R14a, R21a, R35a and R41a prevent operation of the device by "shorting out" two or more arms of the setting switches.

Title: Improvements in six wheel automotive vehicles and driving means therefor
IPC: B60K17/04
Filed: 1930-05-19
Abstract: 355,263. Motor vehicle driving-gear and spring suspensions. LEUPOLD, M., 165, Chapin Court, Jamaica, Long Island, New York, U.S.A. May 19, 1930, No. 15294. [Classes 79 (ii), 79 (iii), and 79 (iv).] A six-wheeled motor vehicle comprises two coaxial live axles, each axle having two driving wheels mounted thereon and being connected to the chassis frame by two springs, the connection of the springs to the frame being such that each set of two wheels has an independent rocking or sidewise movement in addition to the vertical movement allowed by the springs. In the construction shown the four rear driving wheels 46 are mounted in pairs on two coaxial axles 45 enclosed in axle casings 41 and driven from differential shafts 23, Fig. 4, through bevel gearing 25, twin shafts 29, 30, bevel gearing 31, 43 and differential gearing 42. The shafts.29, 30 are preferably universally jointed and telescopic. Each axle casing 41 is provided with a pair of spring seats 39 to which two springs 38 are bolted, each pair of springs being connected at the ends by links or shackles 37 to cradles 35 pivoted to the chassis frame 16 by longitudinal pins 36. Thus each axle casing can oscillate about the axis of the corresponding pins 36, this movement being limited by means of coacting stops 35a formed on the cradles and the frame. A torque rod 49 is provided for each axle, this rod being connected to the axle casing by pivots 50 and to the frame by universal joints 54, screwed studs 53 and sleeves 55. In a modification the torque rods are dispensed with, the torque and thrust reaction being taken by the springs, and for this purpose the front ends of the springs are pivoted directly to the cradles 35. A single driving shaft may be provided for each axle 45, the drive being through worm gearing. The chassis frame, Fig. 2, is formed, except at the front, with twin longitudinal members 14, 16 connected at intervals by transverse members 15, 17 .. 20.

Title: Improvements relating to linecasting machines
Inventor: MARSDEN THOMAS JOSEPH
IPC: H05K1/18
Filed: 1968-03-29
Abstract: 1279233 Type-bar making machine LINOTYPE & MACHINERY Ltd 30 June 1969 [29 March 1968] 15348/68 Heading B6W In a type-bar making machine the operation of the delivery slide is controlled by an electric circuit. As shown, manual closing of a release switch through line MS21 initiates movement of the delivery slide, not shown, from its home position, energizes relays K8 and KD, and closes a circuit to line MSD. Relay K8 energizes relay K9 which, in turn, energizes the delivery slide solenoid through line L11. When the delivery slide moves, a microswitch is actuated in line MSD which causes a further microswitch through MS18 to open and this de-energizes relays KD, K8 and K9 in readiness for a subsequent delivery signal. If an immediate repeat delivery of a line is required this command is held in a memory through relay KD and the microswitch associated with line MSD until the delivery slide returns, whereupon the previously closed circuits again close to re-deliver the assembled line into the casting area. As the delivery slide returns a microswitch is actuated through MS23, thereby energizing relay K8. When the slide reaches its fully home position the microswitch on MS18 is closed thereby energizing relay K9 and a solenoid through L11 to effect an assembled line delivery release. If the delivery slide is released but fails to move to the casting position it does not close an auto start switch through line MS30 and the machine does not operate.

Filed: 1955-05-27
Abstract: 805,124. Levelling heel seats. MALVERDI, A. May 27, 1955 [July 22, 1954], No. 15384/55. Class 17(1) A mould 32 clamped on the heel seat is hammered by the pneumatic hammer 6 which is oscillated about shaft 7 by means of a pin 3 eccentrically mounted on a pulley 2 driven by motor 1 and acting through link 4 and arms 5 seccred to the shaft. The hammer 6 is also moved parallel to shaft 7 by means of a wheel 12 which moves a slide 18 so that shaft 7 is moved lengthwise via cable 23. The shoe, supported on shaft 28, is rotated when wheel 17 turns. Pulley 2 drives wheels 8 and 10 secured to shaft 9, and wheel 10 drives wheel 12 or 17 by means of a member 11 housed in wheel 10 and moved to engage a hole either in wheel 12 or wheel 17 by means of a lever 13 which is itself actuated first in one direction and then in the other, as wheel 10 turns, by fixed cams 16, 16b. The arrangement is such that during the first 90 degrees of rotation of wheel 10 the hammer moves through half its rectilinear path, acting on one half of the heel seat, while the shoe is still, during the next 180 degrees the hammer does not move rectilinearly while the shoe is rotated through 180 degrees, and during the final 90 degres the hammer moves over the other half of its rectilinear path, acting on the other half of the heel seat, while the shoe is still. Slide 18 is pressed into engagement with wheel 12, for frictional driving thereby, by a roller 19 on lever 20 under the influence of spring 21. When the slide reaches the end of its stroke it operates a switch to stop the motor, roller 19 is then retracted by normal operation of lever 20, and spring 29 then returns the slide. Shaft 7 is returned by spring 30.
