Abstract: 1,007,519. Change-speed gear and control. BORG-WARNER CORPORATION. May 21, 1962 [May 25, 1961], No. 19515/62. Heading F2D. Relates to a fluid pressure control system for a vehicle change-speed epicyclic gear generally as described in Specification 973,493, wherein to provide a main line pressure for gear establishing clutch and brake servomotors a main regulator valve 104 is subjected, for pressure increasing, to a control pressure in a line 135 (hereinafter referred to as " TV " pressure) provided by an accelerator pedal position responsive valve 108 and for pressure decreasing, to a further control pressure in a line 138 provided by a valve 109 modulating TV pressure and having a piston 182 subjected to the opposed forces of a pressure variable in accordance with vehicle speed ("governor " pressure) in a line 139 and of TV pressure so that at a certain relationship of Governor and TV pressure it applies full TV pressure through the line 138 for regulation of the valve 104 thereafter directly by TV pressure. In such a system, to extend the range of TV pressure regulation, when the piston 182 is moved leftwards by Governor pressure TV pressure is also directed through ports 193, 194, a restriction 197 and a line 137 to act on a differential area of lands 163, 164 of a piston 152 of the valve 108 to reduce TV pressure in both lines 135, 138 to reduce main line pressure. To partly counteract the effects of increased TV pressure during a " forced " throttle 1-2 upshift, kickdown TV pressure directed through a line 136 (when the accelerator pedal is depressed substantially to its limit) also acts on a differential area of lands 207, 208 of a piston 203 of the 1-2 shift valve 115 to assist Governor pressure so that an upshift occurs at a point different from that of a normal light throttle uplift. During 1-2 kickdown shift kickdown TV pressure in the line 136 acts also on a differential area of lands 206, 208 of the piston 203 to inhibit downshift, however, the differential area of the lands 207, 208 is less than that of the lands 206, 208 and kickdown shift occurs at a point different from that at which a " forced " or light throttle upshift occurs.

Filed: 1929-06-29
Abstract: 337,379. Budd, A. G., and Barton, H. June 29, 1929. Poultry &c., dressing. - A machine for removing feathers, stubs amd down from poultry and other birds comprises a number of resilient gripping members revolubly mounted and so shaped and arranged that the feathers are gripped between parts of the adjacent members which tend normally to contact with each other in virtue of their shape and natural resilience. Positive means are provided for separating the grippers to release the plucked feathers &c. As shown in Fig. 4, a portable appliance consists of a handle 3 through which passes the flexible drive to a core 1 carrying discs 6 (some are not shown for clearness) on which the spring loops 4 are secured. The discs 6 are secured to the core by a ring nut 10 and the assembled unit is secured to the drive shaft by a nut 11. The feathers are gripped at the contacting points 5 of the loops 4 and are released by the combs 7 entering between and opening the loops. A guard 12 positions the bird correctly and raises up the feathers to facilitate the gripping of the loops. A stationary apparatus is shown in Fig. 5. The spring loops 13 are mounted on a shaft 20 and are enclosed in a housing 16. A rotary comb is used, consisting of a drum 18 on a shaft 19, which may be geared or otherwise connected to the shaft 20, and fingers 17 projecting from the drum through slots in a cylinder 22 which is supported eccentrically to the drum 18 by adjustable rollers 23. The fingers 17 project through the cylinder 22 adjacent to the loops 13 which are thus opened and release the feathers, but at the opposite point are totally within the cylinder 22 to permit it to be scraped by a leather portion 26 at the end of a spring blade 25. The feathers are carried around by the cylinder 22 and are delivered by the scraper 25 to the shoot 28 and, if desired, with the assistance of a fan, are delivered to a bag. In a further modification, the comb members are stationary and are arranged to form a wall of a shoot leading to the bagging apparatus. Some or all of the loops may be replaced by spring blades of sheet material, and dummy loops or blades may be provided to increase the drumilike surface without increasing the number of gripping members.

Abstract: 461,230. Automatic guns. WERKZEUGMASCHINEN-FABRIK OERLIKON. July 20, 1936, No. 20090. Convention date, July 22, 1935. [Class 92 (ii)] The sear-control mechanism of an automatic firearm consists of a sear hook 3 adapted to engage with the breech-block 1 by selfreleasing cam faces, a locking device 34c for positively holding the sear in its locking position, and a releasing device operated by a Bowden cable 23 for actuating the locking device, the arrangement being such that upon releasing the Bowden cable the releasing device is positively returned by the breechblock 1 to the position in which it moves the locking device into the locking position. In the construction shown, the sear engages with a pivoted catch 2 on the breech-block 1 in such manner that it is thrown out of engagement therewith by the recoil spring when not positively held. The cable 23 is attached to the upper forked arms 34d of a block 34 which carries the locking member. This block is pivotally and slidably mounted upon a slide-block 33, and is urged rearwardly by a spring 35 and in an anti-clockwise direction by a spring 10. A hook 34a thereon normally, engages with a spring-controlled detent 30 pivotally mounted in the breech-block. When the cable is pulled, the hook is first lifted clear of the detent and the block is then urged rearwardly by the spring 35, thus moving the locking member clear of the sear. When the cable is released, the hook is urged downwardly by the spring 10 into the path of the detent 30 which, upon the forward movement of the breech-block 1, catches the hook and moves the block 34 and thus the locking member into the locking position. To prevent accidental .discharge, the block 34 is prevented from rotating by a pivoted catch 7 controlled by a spring 13 and actuated by a second Bowden cable 25. The two cables pass through a slide 15 which is mounted in vertical grooves in the side walls of an enlargement V<1> of the breech casing, in which casing the locking and releasing devices are mounted. The enlargement has a laterally removable cover 18<1 >which is normally held in position by a spring-pressed pin in the slide 15. In a modified construction, the looking member is positively moved by the breech-block into its locking position during the recoil movement of the latter.
