Title: Automatic veneer-discharging device
Inventor: MULLER GERNOT
IPC: B27L5/00
Filed: 1961-01-31
Abstract: 896,671. Cutting veneers. HARBECK, M., [trading as HEIDENREICH & HARBECK]. Jan. 31, 1961, No. 3672/61. Class 83 (3). [Also in Group XXIII] Veneer slices being cut by a reciprocating knife 3 pass into the gap between a conveyer belt 15 and rollers 6, 7, 8 protruding from a guiding face 5 so that the loose engagement of veneer with the belt, which moves faster than the maximum cutting speed, stretches it slightly ; on completion of the cut, the belt and rollers are moved together to grip the veneer firmly and discharge it beyond the front end 12 of the belt. A number of belts and guiding faces are provided, adjustably spaced across the width of the pressure beam 1 and knife 3. The invention is stated to be applicable to peeling-machines, for the discontinuous pieces cut at the start of a normal peeling operation or by an eccentric peeler. The belts are driven by a motor mounted on the front of the pressure beam 1 and the end of each belt opposite the guiding face 5 runs over rollers 20, 22 carried by an arm 17 which is pivoted at 16 and is biased by a spring assembly 29 into a position retracted from the guiding face. When the cut is complete, a cam on the guide rail for the knife operates a linkage so that a rail 44 is displaced laterally and moves a cam surface 37 from beneath a roller 36 on a lever 32 mounted on each pivot 16 and the lever is pulled down by a spring 35 so that the other end 33 engages a stop on the bearing of a roller 20 and moves the belt nearer the rollers 6, 7, 8. The rollers 22 are eccentrically adjustable to alter the belt tension and the rollers 6, 7, 8 are similarly adjustable for altering the distance apart of the rollers 20 and the rollers 6, 7, 8; this distance is arranged to decrease in the direction of discharge so that the end of the veneer remote from the knife is gripped first.

Title: Improvements in or relating to the Production of Iron-sponge.
Inventor: SINDING-LARSEN ALF
IPC: C21B13/10
Filed: 1917-03-14
Abstract: 113,351. Larsen, A. Sinding-. March 14, 1917. Resistance furnaces.-In a furnace for reducing iron ores to spongy iron the hot zone is heated by resistances in the space t above a hearth e supported by a car which can be reciprocated by means of a rod m. A plate or plates w are built into the hearth and carry the charge of ore, the space t which is left beneath the plate or plates receiving a supply of reducing gas from a series of pipes h and delivering it through g into the zone above the plate or plates. Hydrogen is also supplied by a pipe r discharging into a passage p down which the iron sponge falls from the delivery end of the plate or plates w; this hydrogen is dry and preferably effects the last stage of the reduction. The lower part of the furnace is cooled by water or other pipes o and the water resulting from condensation of the vapours from the hot zone is collected in a sump and can be tapped off through a pipe n. The upper part of the masonry of the furnace is covered by iron plates c and similar plates line the lower part of the furnace masonry. The iron ore is delivered to the plate or plates w from a gas-tight hopper b the lower end of which is close above the surface of a raised part of the hearth. When the hearth is moved to the left the lower end of the hopper is uncovered and some of the ore falls upon the plate or plates w. A large number' of wedge-shaped bodies k depend from the furnace roof. These are disposed with their bases transverse, so as to allow the ore to travel along the plate or plates w towards their delivery end when the hearth moves to the right and stop the ore from travelling back when the hearth moves to the left. The spongy iron obtained is melted in a separate furnace, which may be an electric-furnace in which an atmosphere of hydrogen may be maintained.

Title: Clutch plate
IPC: F16F15/129
Filed: 1939-02-06
Abstract: 524,669. Yielding clutch-plates. THELANDER, W. V. Feb. 6, 1939, No. 3905. [Class 80 (ii)] In a driven clutch plate comprising an annular disc mounted on a hub, the disc is formed of circumferentially-arranged identical sections 17 stamped from sheet metal, each section having an arcuate portion 33 bearing on the outer periphery 16 of the flange 15 of the hub 14, a central outwardly-projecting facing-carrying portion 37, and an inwardly-projecting portion 20 which is struck-out to semi-cylindrical form, the portions 20 of adjacent sections, which are oppositely arranged, engaging opposite faces of the flange 15 and being in register with each other so as to form a cylindrical pocket 18 containing spring cushioning means coacting with notches 19 in the flange 15. Each portion 33 has an off-set part 40 at one end so that the sections can overlap as shown in Fig. 12 and be secured together by rivets 29, each rivet passing through three sections. Each cushioning means consists of a heavy coiled spring 22 and a light coiled spring 23 separated by the flange 24 of a stem 25, 26. During normal drive, which is anticlockwise in Figs. 1 and 7, the spring 23 is first compressed, giving a soft cushioning action, until the trailing end of the pocket 18 abuts against the stem 26, whereafter the spring 22 is compressed. When the stem 25 engages the leading end 30 of the notch 19, positive drive results. During coasting, drive is again transmitted first by compression of the spring 23, but the trailing end 31 of the notch 19 is recessed at 32 to accommodate the end of the stem 26 so as to allow more compression of the spring 23 than during normal drive. The flange 42 of each projection 20 has a struck-out portion 43 which engages the adjacent face of the flange 15 under slight tension, to provide frictional damping. Alternatively, each projection 20 may have a circumferentially-extending spring finger engaging the flange 15, or a loose friction ring, centred on the hub 14 may be interposed between the flange 15 and the portions 20. The projections 37 are offset so as to bring them into a common plane, and each has a central radial slot 48 and arcuate slots 49 and 50 to form four lugs c, d, e, f. The lugs c, f have intermediate portions 51 and 54 offset in one direction and the lugs d, e have intermediate portions 52 and 53 offset in the other direction, one facing 39 being riveted to the portions 51 and 54 and the other to the portions 52 and 53.

A process for manufacturing fibre-reinforced synthetic resin sheet material comprises forming a layer of liquid synthetic resin on a temporary support, curing the resin until it becomes solid, applying the layer to a preformed sheet of fibre-reinforced synthetic resin with an intermediate film of liquid synthetic resin and curing the resin of the film to laminate the resin layer to the preformed sheet. The process may be made continuous by applying the liquid synthetic resin layer to a moving conveyer 1, e.g. by a doctor blade 4, advancing the layer through a curing zone such as heated platens 5, or an oven or infra-red heaters and applying the cured resin layer to a continuously moving sheet 20 of fibre reinforced synthetic resin, liquid synthetic resin being applied by a roller, or pool and doctor blade to the sheet surface or opposed surface of the cured layer, and passing the sandwich under a heated platen 6. The sheet surface may be roughened by sanding prior to lamination. The resin may be the same for the layer, film and sheet, e.g. polyester resin, and may incorporate a curing catalyst. The preformed sheet may be shaped, e.g. corrugated, printed or otherwise patterned and the resin layer may have a surface pattern formed by the temporary support. A permeable printed sheet may be interleaved between the layer and sheet.
