Abstract: 1,026,428. Roll housings. SCHLOEMANN A.G. Feb. 17, 1964, [Feb. 18, 1963] No. 6462/64. Heading B3M. A tilting roll housing in a mill suitable for rolling billets, rods or wire, is provided with a tilting axis set at 45 degrees to the horizontal. The housing, including its sole plate is rockable through 180 degrees about the axis between horizontal and vertical dispositions. The rolls 2 of a housing 1 on a sole plate 3 are vertically disposed and driven via coupling 10, gearing 9, bevel gearing 13 and 11, and 12 and 20 from a single motor. The housing is adjustable vertically by an hydraulic ram 7 to align the rolls with a pass line. To rotate the housing, a clutch 17 connects the bevel gear 13 with a casing 18, thus blocking the drive to the gears 9 and causing the housing, sole plate, an integral casing 15, and the gearing to be rotated through 180 degrees about the axis 8. Clamps 21 lock the assembly in position (Fig. 2, not shown). An hydraulic ram 6 can now adjust the housing on the sole plate. In an alternative form the housing and sole plate only are rotated, with separate vertical and horizontal driving spindles for the rolls remaining stationary.

Title: Improvements in, or relating to, electric irons
IPC: D06F75/26
Filed: 1945-03-21
Abstract: 594,073. Electrically-heated pressing irons. JACKSON, A. N. March 21, 1945, No. 6732/44. [Class 39 (iii)] [Also in Group XXXVII] In an electric iron an automatic and a thermal switch are connected in series with the heating element. The automatic switch operated on gripping the handle is accommodated in a pocket 27 provided in the handle 3, remote from the grip, and comprises fixed and spacing loaded contact members 28, 26 the latter being actuated near its fixed end by a cam 44 forming part of the pivoted L-shaped portion 39 of the handle 3. The construction of the L-shaped portion 39, about its pivot 40 is such that on. gripping the handle 3 or on standing the iron on its heel end, the cam 44 imparts a switch closing motion on the spring- loaded member 26. The thermal control comprises two flexible strips 19, 20 and a bi-metallic strip 9 which is anchored at one end to the platform 8 provided in a recess 7 formed in the upper side of the sole plate, and has at its free end a stud 18. The response of the bi-metallic strip 9 to an increasing temperature of the sole plate 1, causes the stud 18 to pass through an aperture 23 provided in the lower flexible strip 19 and to impinge on and deflect, the upper flexible strip 20. thus to break contact between the said strips when the desired operating temperature is exceeded. This latter temperature may be adjusted by means of knob 17, which controls cam 15 against which the lower flexible strip 19 rests. A pilot lamp and a low resistance connected in parallel may be included in the heating circuit, the pilot lamp being attached on the inner side of an aperture provided in the wall of the pocket 27 in which the current supply connections are made.

Title: Improvements in and relating to ships' telegraphs
IPC: G08B9/08
Filed: 1941-05-27
Abstract: 550,223. Order-telegraph signalling apparatus. WALLIS, S. A. May 27, 1941, No. 6794. [Class 118 (ii)] A safety device for use with a ship's telegraph is characterized by mechanical control means operated by the reversing gear of the ship's engines whereby the engine room telegraph can be operated to transmit a confirming signal only after operation of the reversing gear. The Figure illustrates the application of the invention to a diesel engine the reversing gear of which is actuated by a fluid pressure cylinder 38B. The answering lever 1 of the engine room telegraph 2 is provided with an arm 3 which extends across the back of the instrument and has its outer end formed with locking-grooves 4, 5. A cam disc B is secured to the arm 3, and a double-arm locking-lever 8 is pivoted in a position to engage the outer end of the arm 3 by means of hooked ends 9, 10. The cam 6 operates a spring-pressed sliding rod 12 the outer end of which has a stop member 15 adapted to engage a stop 17 secured to a rod 18 which operates the control member of the cylinder 38B. The piston rod 37 of this cylinder rotates a disc 33 provided with helical blades 31, 32, which engage and rock one arm of a bell-crank lever 29, the other arm of the lever being connected by a link 24 with a rocking-shaft 22 that rocks the lever 8. The arm 3 is shown in the position where the telegraph indicates that the engine is stopped. When an order is received in the engine room, the e arm 3 must be brought towards the '' stop " or " stand-by " position in order to withdraw the stop 15 from engagement with the stop 17. The rod 18 can now be moved to operate the cylinder 38B to move the engine gear. Operation of the cylinder rocks the lever 8 and allows the lever 1 to be moved in the correct direction to give the confirming signal, movement in the wrong direction being prevented by engagement of the arm 3 with one of the ends 9, 10 of the lever 8.

Class 40(2) A method of producing an A.C. control signal from a D.C. impulse by means of a magnetic transducer 1 includes a local magnetic circuit 13, carrying an audio circuit approaching saturation, and arranged such that in the absence of a D.C. signal no A.C. enters the main circuit, but such that when D.C. passes through the main circuit second harmonic of the auxiliary A.C. is'produced, a series resistance being inserted into the auxiliary circuit to aid such purpose. The ratio of the series resistance to the apparent resistance of the auxiliary circuit is between 2 and 5. The apparatus is for use wherever control or synchronizing pulses are required. The pulses may be recorded on a tape 2 by the head 1 each time the circuit of a D.C. source 9 is closed, for subsequent reproduction and supply to a control point via an amplifier 11 and band-pass filter 12. The auxiliary magnetic circuit comprises two windings 14, 15 which may be balanced by an adjustable centre tapping on the resistance 17 or by separate series resistances (shown dotted in Fig. 1), one at least of which should be adjustable.

Title: Improvements in or relating to electrical power distribution systems
Filed: 1928-03-05
Abstract: 313,030. Igranic Electric 'Co., Ltd., (Cutter Hammer Manufacturing Co.). March 5, 1928. Systems depending on two or more machines. -The motor M of a motor-generator set at an automatic substation is started under reduced voltage applied by an auto-transformer 3, 4 in response to the closure of a switch 12, the field F of the motor being shorted through a resistance R<1>. When the voltage of the generator G has risen sufficiently as ascertained by a relay 20, the starting switches 1, 2 are opened and the full voltage running switch 5 is closed, also the field F is connected across the generator 5. Should full voltage running connections fail to be established before the expiration of a definite interval after establishment of starting connections, a thermal relay 15 interrupts the starting connections. Thereafter, when the generator reaches normal voltage as ascertained by relay 21, contacts 22R, 22L close and connect the supplied conductor D to the generator through a resistance R9. If the resistance of the circuit C, D is sufficiently high, tripping coil 29 releases the locked-up switch 27, which closes, and short circuits a resistance R8 in circuit with the closing coil 25 of the circuit-breaker CB. The circuit-breaker is thereupon closed. An overload causes opening of contacts 26 in the circuit of coil 25.
