Title: Improvements in or relating to welded joints
IPC: B23K5/00
Filed: 1933-12-18
Abstract: 412,123. Uniting by fusion. KRUPP AKT.-GES. FRIEDRICH-ALFRED-HUTTE, F., Rheinhausen, Niederrhein, Germany. Dec. 18, 1933, No. 35560. Convention date, Jan. 12. [Class 83 (iv).] In making fusionwelded butt strap joints in which welding is effected only along the edges of the butt straps or in which the ends of the members are also butt welded, the butt strap is provided in the region of the joint between the members with unwelded recesses in contact with the members so that the lines of force are distributed uniformly along the length of the seams and thus increase the resistance of the joint to dynamic loads. In Fig. 4, a fusion welded joint 7 between plates 8, 9 is reinforced by a butt strap 10 fillet welded on the edges 12 and leaving an unwelded recess 11 across the joint. The edges of the strap may be inclined on each side of the joint to wedge shaped form, or one end may be of such form, Fig. 8, and the other end rounded and welded at 17 or completely round the rounded edge. In another form, the members may be cut away by punching or by torches on each side of the joint to accommodate similarly shaped straps, the straps being thicker than the members. The straps may be flattened at one or both ends as shown at 24, Fig. 12. In joining I-section members, the flanges and webs may be formed respectively with cut away parts 29, 30 to receive similarly shaped but thicker butt straps 26, welding being effected on the side edges of the flange of the strap and at 34 on the legs thereof. In welding U-sections, the straps may be of L-section. Tubes may be butt welded as shown in Fig. 16. In welding narrow members, butt straps 35 may replace or supplement a strap such as 39.

Abstract: 366,185. Knitting-machines. SPIERS, Ltd., W., XL Works, Walnut Street, Leicester, and KENT, A. W., Swithland, Leicester Road, Groby, near Leicester. Nov. 26, 1930, No. 35573. [Class 74 (ii).] Jacks 1 are arranged in a sleeve 3 within the upper needle cylinder 4 of a superposed cylinder rib machine so as to be actuated selectively to change the relative position of yarns a, b fed to the needles in plating relation. The jacks 1 are mounted so that they can be oscillated by cams 13, 15 and moved axially with the needles by a cam 22. The cams 13 comprise pivoted levers actuated by pins 18 in a pattern drum 17, and move the corresponding jacks 1 so that a hooked portion 9 of each of such jacks engages the upper yarn a, which is normally the outer yarn, to pull it to the inside of the other yarn. The cam 15 is so constructed that the jacks 1 not moved by the pattern cams 13 engage the yam a by their front edges 9a to hold the yarn to the outside of the yarn b. The pattern drum 17 is intermittently rotated, means being provided for rotating it once per revolution of the needle cylinders, or once per two revolutions of the cylinders. To enable the patterning effect to be neutralized, a cam 30, which can be raised or lowered under pattern control, is provided for engaging butts 14, 14a on the jacks to raise the jacks after they have been depressed by the cam 22 and so free the hooks 9 of the selected jacks from the yarns a. The jacks 1 corresponding to the needles for knitting the foot bottom of a sock &c. may have longer butts 14a so that the cam 30 can be raised to a height such that those jacks are raised, while the remaining jacks, corresponding to the instep needles, remain operative upon the yarns a.

Title: Improvements in or relating to cameras
IPC: G03B27/58
Filed: 1930-11-28
Abstract: 367,902. Roll-film cameras. POWERS, F. T., 205, West 39th Street, New York, U.S.A. Nov. 28, 1930, No. 35852. [Class 98 (i).] A roll-film camera has provision for variably determining the length of material to be exposed, means for fixing a line of severance of the exposed area and means operable at will for severing it, whilst the film is still in the exposure position. The line of severance is determined by the setting means for the length of film to be exposed. The invention is, in certain respects, an improvement on that of Specification 367,903. Within the camera back 22, Figs. 1, 3, and 6, a film supply housing 24 is slidable in guideways 32 and counterweighted by weighted chains 33. The housing 24 contains two or more rolls 28, which may be of different width, each roll being centrally positioned on its shaft 26 and associated with feed rollers 40, 42 and a feed slot 47 leading to the exit slot 92 from the film housing. The feed rollers 40, 42 have laterally spaced grooves 45 and the guides 47 have extension fingers 46 entering the grooves. The exit slot 92 is adjacent a transparent plate 49 in the focal plane, and forms the upper edge of the exposure. To centralize the exposure with respect to the lens, as the housing is raised or lowered a lower masking bar 90, Fig. 5 (not shown), on the lower end of the chains 33 moves accordingly. The housing is adjusted by an external handle 80 on the chain shaft 35, which also operates an indicator 81 showing the position of the housing. For pressing the film or material on to the focal plate 49 a retractable pressure plate 66, Fig. 6, is mounted on the film housing. The upper pivot 67 of the plate slides on a ledge 68 and the plate is connected by slotted links 71, 72 to a lever 70 on the operating shaft 69. A spring 741 on the link 72 provides resilient pressure. For cutting off an exposed length of film a knife 94, Figs. 6 and 14, is mounted on a block 95 which slides on transverse rods 96 and is drawn across the exit slot 92 by a draw rod 98. The film housing is connected to a flanged panel 83, Figs. 1 and 3, sliding over a flanged opening 86 in the side of the camera and between side flanges 85 thereon. The operating shafts 43 of the feed rolls 40, the shaft 69 of the pressure plate, and the cutting draw rod 98 extend to the panel and are operated by external handles 50, 73, 97 respectively. For indicating the length of material fed for exposure, each handle 50 is geared with a friction-mounted indicator 58 moving over a fixed dial between limit stops 62, 63, and can be re-set to zero after one or more exposures of the same material. The cutter may be operated after each exposure or after successive exposures of the same material, the cut-off lengths falling to the bottom of the camera back 22. The rear wall of the camera is fitted with hinged or removable panels 105, 106, Fig. 1, and the back 100, Fig. 3, of the film housing is removable for loading. The camera back may be built into the wall of a dark-room.

Abstract: 1370031 Handling stockings VSESOJUZNY NAUCHNO-ISSLEDOVATELSKY INSTITUT TRIKOTASHNOI PROMYSHLENNOSTI 3 Aug 1972 [4 Aug 1971 21 Feb 1972] 36272/72 Heading B8A Stockings 44 are carried by a stream of air into chamber 1 through inlet duct 3. The air stream is divided into streams A and B by strip 32 such that the leading end of the stocking is carried in stream A on to baffle 8 and held there partly by the partial vacuum created by the stocking which partially covers the baffle. Stream B is thus increased and has enough force to turn the stocking around the end of the strip (which end is preferably covered with a high friction material). When the stocking has been spread as shown in Fig. 6c, valve 11 in the air outlet is closed and flap 2 forming the base of chamber 1 is opened to release the stocking to container 45. Baffle 9 at the outlet end of the chamber prevents stockings from fouling the outlet duct. Strip 32 may extend the length of the chamber if preferred (see Fig. 7, not shown).
