Title: Improvements in two-jaw grabs
IPC: B66C3/16
Filed: 1964-05-14
Abstract: 1,020,402. Grabs for handling materials. POCLAIN. May 14, 1964 [June 11, 1963], No. 20231/64. Headings B8H and B8J. In a grab comprising two jaws articulated symmetrically about the bottom of a frame, the jaws are moved in synchronism by two doubleacting jacks 12, 13 articulated to the upper end of the frame and to each of the jaws. The jacks are operated in synchronism by balancing the flow of hydraulic fluid to each. In the embodiment of Fig. 2 the jacks are placed in series in the fluid circuit, the chamber 13a of jack 13 on the piston rod side of the piston 11a being in fluid communication with the chamber 12b of jack 12 on the side of piston 10a remote from the piston rod 10. The piston area of the chamber 12b is equal to the effective piston area of the chamber 13a, hence with displacement of the piston 11a, the piston 10a is displaced an equal amount in the same direction causing a synchronized movement of the grab jaws in either direction. The spring- loaded valves 19, 31 and 17, 30 are incorporated in each piston 11a, 10a to cause a balance of fluid pressure in each jack at the end of each stroke, the appropriate valve stems 19a, 31a, 17a, 30a engaging the end walls of the jack cylinders to open the downstream valves and the increased fluid pressure on the upstream valves opening the same. In the embodiment of Fig. 3 the two jacks are placed in parallel in the fluid circuit, the supply flow being balanced by a flow divider 23. The latter is supplied from a fluid pipe 26 and the fluid passes into a chamber containing a freely moving piston 29 via ducts 27, 28 and equal constricted orifices 27a, 28a. Any excessive resistance to the travel of one of the jacks causes the piston 29 to move and restrict the supply of fluid to the other jack, whereupon a synchronism of jack movement is effected. Non-return valves 32, 33 are provided in the flow divider to permit discharge of fluid from the jacks when they move in the opposite direction. In the latter case fluid is supplied to the jacks by pipes 24, 25 which also may be coupled to a further flow divider.

Filed: 1949-08-05
Abstract: 658,370. Counting-apparatus. NATIONAL CASH REGISTER CO. Aug. 5, 1949, No. 20375. Convention date, Dec. 15, 1948. [Class 106 (i)] [Also in Group XL (c)] A counting circuit comprises a series of gasfilled discharge tubes connected in a chain or closed ring which are fired sequentially by pulses applied to all of the tubes, each of the tubes having a main and an auxiliary control electrode both of which are normally biassed to prevent the tube from conducting and in which a tube is rendered conducting by the reduction of the bias on both control electrodes occurring at the same time as an applied input pulse. The Figure shows a series of gasfilled tubes 0 ... 9 connected in a closed ring. The anodes of all the tubes are fed through a common resistor 29 so that when one valve is rendered conducting the drop in voltage across this resistor extinguishes all the remaining tubes as described in Specification 592.793. Positive going input pulses to be counted are applied at terminal 40 to the auxiliary control grids 23 of all the tubes in common-but this alone is insufficient to fire a tube until the bias on the main control grid 22 is reduced by the firing of the preceding tube in the chain and the consequent rise in its cathode potential. The chain is reverted to normal with tube 0 only conducting by operation of the zero reset switch 38.

Title: Two stage drawing of nylon filaments
IPC: D02J1/22
Filed: 1962-05-29
Abstract: 964,393. Stretching nylon filaments. MONSANTO CHEMICAL CO. May 29, 1962 [May 31, 1961], No. 20626/62. Drawings to Specification. Heading B5B. Nylon filaments capable of being molecularly oriented are longitudinally fed to a first stretch zone at a predetermined rate, withdrawn from this zone at a predetermined increased rate, the movement of the filaments through this zone being snubbed so that there is a tendency for the point of necking down of the filaments to be localized, heated upon their exit from the first zone to 160-190 C. for a time of 0.05 to 0.80 second, the heat being applied while the filaments are maintained at constant length, immediately thereafter further stretched in a second stretch zone while cooling them and without snubbing them, quickly quenched and taken up in an orderly manner, the overall draw ratio employed being 5.0 to 6.1 and the draw ratio employed in the second stretch zone being 1.2 to 1.9. The overall draw ratio may be 5.0 to 6.0 and the temperature of the filaments when snubbed 20 to 85 C. The temperature to which the filaments are quickly quenched may be at least 60 to 90 C. below the elevated temperature obtained by the filaments when heated at constant length. The filaments may be stretched in the second stretch zone at an ambient temperature of 20 to 85 C. The filaments may be quenched by contacting them with a cooled heat conductive surface. In an example, a 140 filament nylon-66 yarn with a spun denier of 4250 is fed to and around a first stage drawing pin having a temperature of 38 C., the first stage draw ratio being 3.82. The yarn is then heated by being passed over a heater block at 180 C. disposed between a draw roll and an accessory separator roll. Multiple threadline wraps are made around the roll-heater block assembly to raise the yarn temperature to about 170 C. while the yarn is maintained at substantially constant length. The yarn is then drawn in a second stage at a draw ratio of 1.5 by means of a larger draw roll and separator roll assembly. No external heat is applied during the second stage drawing and as the larger draw roll is heat conductive and interiorly vaned, heat is dissipated therefrom and the temperature of the roll is prevented from rising above 50 C. By means of the process of the invention high tenacity nylon yarn may be produced with only a small number of thread breaks per pound of yarn even when using high overall draw ratios.
