Title: An electric clock system for vehicles moved transversely to the meridian lines, moreespecially for ships
IPC: G04C13/04
Filed: 1931-09-08
Abstract: 379,859. Electric clocks. LANDIS ET GYR SOC. ANON., 1, Hofstrasse, Zug, Switzerland. Sept. 8, 1931, No. 25136. Convention date, Sept. 8, 1930. [Class 139.] In an electric clock system for vehicles, especially ships, moving transversely to meridians, impulses are given to the secondary clocks by a controlling device which is fed electrically through a resistance, which latter is varied according to the velocity and direction of the vehicle to adjust the time (at desired intervals) according to the meridian. A D.C. shunt meter 1, fed through resistance 10 from a source 9, drives gearing 3, 4 to an impulse switch 7 in the circuit 5 of the secondary clocks 6. The contact arm 11 of resistance 10 is set along a scale 12 according to the geographical position of the vehicle. Thereafter, the arm is periodically moved manually along the scale so that the rate at which impulses are given to the secondaries is varied to correct them for local time. The amount the arm 11 is moved is determined from tables according to the velocity and direction of motion of the vehicle. The above control device may be combined with a chronometer to obtain within definite intervals of time a correspondence of the time as given by the clock system and the local time. The chronometer may, for example, move a scale over which moves a pointer connected to the rotating part of the contact device. Instead of this scale, the seconds hand of the chronometer may be used and the device adjusted so that the pointer and the seconds hand continuously correspond. An almost continuous adjustment of the control device so that the system indicates local time could be obtained by adjusting the resistance contact 11 by means of a differential gear, controlled on one hand by the velocity (e.g. the propeller shaft) and on the other hand by the ship's direction (e.g. the rudder or the indicator of the steering mechanism for setting the rudder). A damping device may also be used to overcome the defect of turning the vehicle rapidly. The device 1 may consist of an ampere hour meter with a magneto motor and accumulator or may consist of an electromotor with excited field magnets ; or, if a suitable A.C. source is available, an induction meter with a synchronous motor may be used.

Abstract: 793,245. Knitting-machines. TOONE (NOTTINGHAM), Ltd., B. Aug. 15, 1955 [Sept. 3, 1954; Jan. 14, 1955], Nos. 25584/54 and 1203/55. Class 74 (2). Needle selection for tucking or other patterning effects is achieved by the provision of a disc 1 having recesses 3, which may have a re-entrant configuration, the disc being positioned adjacent the needle cylinder of a circular machine and rotatable about an axis at right angles to the needle cylinder. The periphery of the disc which is stepped, as at 4, engages the needle butts to raise the respective needles whereas the recesses 3 permit the butts to remain in a low position. The disc is positioned before a feeding station and is raised and lowered for effecting patterning through mechanism controlled by a card drum. The clearing cam 7a is also movable to a raised position by mechanism operated from the cam drum in which it serves to clear the needles and normally when the cam 7a is in this position the disc is lowered and inoperative. When the disc is raised the clearing cam is lowered to tucking height to engage those needles which have not been raised by the disc 1.

Abstract: 1428559 Needles ETHICON INC 30 May 1973 [31 May 1972] 25709/73 Heading DIG [Also in Division A5] In a combined needle and suture, the needle has an opening at its blunt end whereby it is swaged with 62-75 per cent compression on to one end of the suture, which is coated with resin and of smaller diameter than the untreated length of suture, the combination having a pull-out tension of from 3 to 26 oz. As shown in Fig. 1, e.g. braided silk suture material 12 is drawn from a spool 11 and passes over a guide 14, through a frictional brake 15 and then to a tensiometer 22, directly as shown in the dotted line for sutures of small diameters, or for thicker sutures, via a magnetic brake 18 controlled by a rheostat 20, as shown in the full line. The suture passes to idler rollers 39, 40 and a dancer roller 38 to idler pullies 35, 36 on a carriage 34 movable by a lead screw 28 driven by a motor which also rotates a rack 24 so that the suture is wound evenly on the rack under tension. One end of the rack 24, where the suture changes direction, is dipped in a resin bath (43) (Fig. 3, not shown), possibly after dipping in a xylol cleaning bath, and dried. The ends treated with resin are then of the diameter which they were under tension, i.e. less in diameter than the untreated suture, which is about as thick as the needle. The sutures are cut from the rack to have resin at both ends or at one end only, according to whether needles are to be connected to one or both ends. A needle 46, Fig. 5, is drilled at 47 to take the end of the suture. The drilled end of the needle is placed on an anvil 49, located in a depression 49. A hammer 50 is then brought into contact with the needle 46 to swage the end, the movement of the hammer being limited by means of stops 51, 52 on the hammer 50 and anvil 48 according to the dimensions and properties of the needle and suture, such that the suture pulls out of the needle at an applied tension between 3 oz and 26 oz. The suture may be absorbable or not, and the suture coating may be any non-toxic adhesive, e.g. braided silk, polyester or nylon, or a polyester or epoxy resin. Other resins and adhesives are disclosed.
