Title: Improvements in electrical fitting connections
IPC: H02G3/20
Filed: 1921-04-29
Abstract: 183,919. McKay, J. A. April 29, 1921. Supporting.-A detachable electric fixture connection comprises complementary guides on the permanent and removable portions, independent of the electric contacts and slidingly engaging each other to support the fitting, and a pivotally mounted terminal member on the removable portion carrying contacts which engage socket contacts on the permanent portion; the socket contacts are in a member which may be parallel with or inclined to the guides and may be pivotally mounted to lie flush with the surface in which the permanent fitting is located. Fig. 2 shows the socket member 2 with fixed socket contacts 3 parallel to the supporting surface and guides 8 on the sheathing of the socket arranged for sliding engagement with guides 12 on the side walls of a fitting-carrying-member 10. Contacts 15 extend from a terminal member 14, the trunnions 13 of which turn in the side walls 11 so that the contacts 15 and 3 may engage as the parts 7, 10 are slid together. A spring latch snaps behind the terminal member 14 and locks the parts together. According to Figs. 6 and 7, a socket member 21 has contacts 32 with knife blades 24 and is pivoted at 22. A spring 23 holds the member 21 flush with the supporting surface, but it may be inclined by a projecting lip 21a to connect the knife blades with fixed contacts 25 and in this position the upper edges of its sheath 27 form guides parallel with the supporting surface. Guides 36 upon the removable fitting 28 may then be slid upon these guides, contact plugs 31 engaging the socket 32. TEe plugs 31 project from a terminal member 30 which has a pivotal and sliding 0 mounting constituted by pins at its ends engaging slots in the fitting 28. A set screw 38 may lock the parts together.

[Class 78 (i)] [See also Group VIII] A conveyer for feeding flat work to an ironing-machine k comprises slats arranged in groups alternately long and short, el, e<2> respectively. The conveyer is secured to chains d driven by chain wheels c, c<1>, c<2> carried by a frame a supported on central legs b, b<1>, b<2> of which the highest is remote from the machine and the lowest is adjacent the usual feed lip j. A batch of flat work is loaded on to the group above the leg b and the conveyer is. advanced by an amount to bring the next group of slats into loading position. This movement moves the loaded slats that were above the leg b<1> into the position adjacent the feed lip j. When the conveyer is stopped the operatives open doors i in the side frames and step into the spaces between groups of long slats and lift the goods into the ironing-machine. The conveyer may be driven manually, or by electric, compressed air or hydraulic motor, or from the ironing- machine.

Abstract: 684,264. Heating liquids &c. by dielectric loss. DUNLOP RUBBER CO., Ltd. April 9, 1951 [May 19, 1950], No. 12573/50. Class 39(iii) An aqueous dispersion of rubber or other dispersion or liquid liable to skin formation is heated in a continuous manner by dielectric loss by passing it from an inlet 3 through a non - conducting vessel 1 having an annular electrode 5 surrounding it and defining a heating zone in the vessel, a metal stirrer 9 in the heating zone forming a second electrode, the vessel having an outlet 13. The annular electrode 5 is spaced from the cylindrical vessel 1. The stirrer 9 is mounted on an axial metal rod 6, which carries on a non-conducting collar 8 just below the inlet pipe 4 a circular baffle plate 7 to ensure even distribution of the fresh dispersion. Mounted on the lower end of the rod 6 by a non-conducting collar 11 is a flat wiper arm 10 extending between the blades of the stirrer and bearing on the inner wall of the vessel to minimize coagulation of the latex near the electrode 5. The outlet 13 at the base is adjusted so that a continuous flow of dispersion is heated to about 80C. The vessel is of low loss material, e.g. polystyrene polythene, or borosilicate glass.

Title: An improved method of and device for washing and moistening air
IPC: F02M1/00
Filed: 1921-05-02
Abstract: 185,788. White, A. E., (Stewart-Warner Speedometer Corporation). May 2, 1921. Air, moistening.-A process for washing and moistening air, particularly for use in connection with internal-combustion engines, consists in spraying water across a current of air being drawn through a conduit into a washing-chamber, diverting the course of the mixed air and spray, and then reflecting the liquid part thereof, thereby permitting the air to follow a path different from that of the liquid, the latter being delivered tangentially downwards on to the wall or walls of the washing chamber and travelling in a substantially unbroken sheet or sheets in order effectively to retain in the water the foreign matter removed from the air. A supply of water is introduced into a reservoir C sealed by a cap A<1> which, in the sealing position, opens a valve L and allows water to fill a cup M and rise to a level X, X in the conduits E through which the air is drawn, at which level the lower end of a vent pipe becomes unsealed as the water is used up in moistening the air. After the water has been cleared out of the lower part of the conduits E by the rush of air, water passes through orifices d<30> across the conduits in the form of spray. The mixed air and spray are caused by a deflector e' to pass up through a flaring mouthpiece E<1> whence it issues against a reflector H. The liquid part of the mixed air and spray sweeps round the curves H' of the reflector and flows smoothly down the walls of the washing-chamber D, while the air passes under the edges H<2> of the reflector to the outlet pipe G. The reflector is widest at its upper part, so that as the water is directed to the walls of the washing chamber, the edges of the water sheets are thickened with a view further to prevent their breaking into drops. When the cup M, in which the dust extracted from the air accumulates, is to be removed, the water in the washing chamber is first drawn off to a point below the level of the intake of pipe J<3> by means of a cock J<1>.
Patent GB-661316-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in or relating to record card perforating machines
Filed: 1949-05-11
Abstract: 661,316. Punching record-cards. REMING- TON RAND, Inc. May 11, 1949 [June 16, 1948], No. 12586/49. Class 31 (ii). In a record-card perforating machine including punch mechanism to punch record cards and actuating means therefor, a tapefeeding mechanism controlled by the punch mechanism and arranged to feed a pre-perforated type and a tape-reading mechanism which controls the actuating means, the punch mechanism is provided with switching means controlling an electromagnetic device which on energization renders ineffective a coupling device to prevent operation of the tape-feeding mechanism, said switching means being included in a secondary electrical circuit and the punch mechanism being responsive to a plurality of primary circuits which are responsive to the tapereading mechanism, the arrangement being such that the timing relationship between the punch mechanism and the tape-feeding mechanism is synchronous, except where punch operations requiring additional time for completion cause the closure of the secondary circuit energizing the electromagnetic device, thereby preventing a tape-feeding operation until the completion of that operation. As shown in Fig. 2, the tapefeeding device is driven by a motor 25 through a clutch 26 which is controlled by the armature 31 of an electromagnet 30, the arrangement being such that operation of the electromagnet disengages the clutch and stops the tape feed. As shown in Fig. 7, the circuit to the electromagnet may be completed by means of contacts of relays 349, 335, 352, 363, 326, operated by depression of certain keys of the apparatus to perform operations such as " back space " which require temporary cessation of tape feeding. The electromagnet 30 may also be operated in three other ways as follows : when performing a . " carriage return " movement bar 74 is caused to move to the right, operating the electromagnet through contacts 50; in the absence of a card in the punching position a lever 206 moves to close contacts 56, operation of the electromagnet, however, only occurring upon closure of contacts 58 controlled from the main operating shaft 16, thus preventing operation of the electromagnet during the short interval between cards under normal cardfeeding conditions; during normal punching, arm 110 closes contacts 51 during each column set-up and spacing operation, energizing delayrelay 112, and should a hold-up or malfunction occur contacts 51 remain closed for a sufficient time to operate relay 112 which in turn operates the electromagnet through contacts 52. U.S.A. Specifications 2,160,152 and 2,124,178 are referred to.
