Title: Improvements in engine starter control
IPC: B41B11/18
Filed: 1932-12-15
Abstract: 415,110. Starting prime movers. ECLIPSE MACHINE CO., Elmira, New York, U.S.A. Dec. 15, 1932, No. 35548. Convention date, Dec. 16, 1931. [Class 38 (iv).] A driver-operated member, such as an engine accelerator pedal 6, is effective to control a starting motor 5 when the engine is at rest, but is rendered ineffective both when the engine is self-operating and when it is rotating backwards upon backfire. As shown in Fig. 1, the member 22 of a switch 4 for the motor 5 is actuated by a lever 18, on which is pivoted a sleeve 14 engaged by an enlargement 13 on the end of a push link 7 operated by the pedal 6. An abutment 8 on the link 7 engages a lever 9 operating a throttle-control rod 12. A shoulder 16 on the enlargement 13 is normally engaged by a piston latching-member 15 slidable in a branch 23 of the sleeve 14, so that operation of the pedal 6 will close the switch 4. The member 15 is connected by a cable 34 to a toggle 31, which is connected by a link 29 to a flexible diaphragm 24 in a casing 26, the chamber 25 of which is open to the engine intake manifold 28. When the engine starts or backfires, the resulting suction or pressure in the chamber 25 acts on the diaphragm 24 to shorten the toggle 31 and withdraw the latch 15, so that the pedal 6 will be ineffective to close the starter switch 4. In a modification, Figs. 3 and 4, a member 37 corresponding to the enlargement 13 in Fig. 1 is squared and provided with a lateral shoulder 39 with tapered sides 41. The latch 38 is provided with a pin 42 arranged normally in the path of the shoulder 39. The latch 38 forms a piston in a cylinder 43 connected to the intake manifold ; when it is moved upwards or downwards by intake suction or pressure, the pin 42 is withdrawn from the path of the shoulder 39 and the pedal is then ineffective to close the switch. In a further form, Fig. 5, the latch 53 has a shoulder 56 normally in the path of a rod 58 on the push member 57; upward or downward movement of the latch, due to intake suction or pressure, brings a slot 54 or 55 into the path of the rod 58, which then moves ineffectively.

Title: Improvements in the distillation of polymerised drying oils
IPC: B01D1/22
Filed: 1933-12-20
Abstract: <PICT:0422941/III/1> Improved polymerized drying-oils are obtained by subjecting drying - oils, e.g. linseed, chinawood, perilla, sterculia, soya bean oils, &c., polymerized in known manner to distillation under high vacuum e.g. a vacuum of the order of a cathode tube vacuum. The method of 'evaporative' or 'molecular' distillation is preferably used in which the evaporative surface is placed close to the condensing surface.  The polymerized oil is fed through a pipe b on to a spreader c so that it is distributed in film form over the surface of a pipe d internally heated by electricity or otherwise.  The vapours evolved are condensed on the surface of a cylinder f cooled by a jacket g and the condensate is collected in a gutter h.  The condensate comprises chiefly saturated fatty acids and glycerides which may be used for soapmaking or it may be subjected to further polymerization and redistillation.  The residue comprises an oil of higher viscosity and lower acid number which remains clear on standing and which on mixing with cobalt linoleate and the like may be used as a varnish.

Abstract: 1325604 Gripper shuttle looms UNITAKA Ltd. 27 July 1970 [26 July 1969 25 April 1970 27 April 1970] 36353/70 Heading DIE In a gripper shuttle loom, the free weft end is entrained in an air stream across the path of a main gripper shuttle, 15, Fig. I during picking thereof, so that the shuttle grips the weft, and means are provided to actuate the shuttle to release the weft when it reaches the other end side of the loom. In one embodiment Fig. 1, a yarn blower 11 blows the weft across the path of the gripper shuttle, and a suction tube 13 holds the weft end. A yarn gripper consisting of a plate 16a spring biassed against a fixed plate 16e releases the weft when electromagnets 16g are actuated to attract a plate 16c. Weft is drawn from a package 110 by rollers 17 and one weft width is stored in a pipe 18, which may have suction applied to it 59, Fig. 9. The shuttle may be picked by an electromagnet 81, Fig 14, the yarn gripper 16 being opened simultaneously with the picking of the shuttle. In an alternative embodiment, Figs. 9 and 11b, weft is held by a suction nozzle 53 across a tube 51 through which the shuttle 66 is picked. A switch 52, for example a photoelectric device on the tube 51 detects the approach of the shuttle and opens the yarn gripper 54a. A similar arrangement at the other side of the loom detects the arrival of the shuttle and the yarn gripper 16. The shuttle 56 has spring loaded gripper arms portions of which project from the sides of the shuttle so that the arms are opened as the shuttle passes through a narrowed portion 51b of tube 51 to grip the weft. The shuttle may be as described in Specifications 1,325,603 and 1,325,605. When more than one kind of weft yarn is used, there may be one yarn blower (71'), Fig. 13, (not shown) corresponding to each weft, or the wefts may pass through separate guide tube (17d), Fig. 12 (not shown) in a single yarn blower 71, Fig. 14. Weft selection is carried out by having a weft yarn gripper for each weft, 79, 710 and 711, Fig. 14, and horizontally movable yarn guides 76, 77 and 78 which keep the weft yarn ends not selected just inside the end of the blower 71, so that only the yarn selected extends across the path of the shuttle 75.

Abstract: 1,243,472. Percussive tools. DAIICHI KIKAI SEISAKISHO CO. Ltd., and S. MATSUO. 18 July, 1969 [15 March, 1969], No. 36370/69. Heading B4C. In a percussive tool, a piston 11 is reciprocated in a cylinder 12 communicating with a second cylinder 22 via ports 3, 4 to cause a free piston 21 in the cylinder 22 to reciprocate, imparting a percussive force to a chisel or like tool 28. The piston 11 is reciprocated by a crank 15 rotated by an internal combustion engine, fluid pressure or electric motor, and its upper surface may have a tapered portion 11<SP>1</SP> corresponding to a taper 3<SP>1</SP> on the upper port of the part 3 so that the chamber formed above the piston 11 is always in communication with the cylinder 22. The free piston 21 starts its downward stroke under the action of gravity and initially the action of compressed air in a cushioning chamber 25 above the level of the port 3. When the free piston 21 passes below the opening 3 compressed air from above the piston 11 will aid the free-piston's driving stroke, air below the free piston 21, passing to the chamber below the piston 11 via ports 4. The free piston 21 contacts an anvil 27 which transfers the blow to the chisel 28 and the piston 21 is cushioned by air in a chamber formed below the lower port 4 and its return stroke is initiated by this compressed air and the reaction against the anvil 27. Consequently the piston 21 is lifted above the lower part of the port 4 so that air compressed below the falling piston 11 will pass through the lower port 4 and raise piston 21, the air above the free piston 21 passing through the port 3 to above the piston 11. The upper stroke of the free piston 11 is cushioned by air in the chamber 25 and the piston 11 is held for a short time in its upper position by side pressure through the port 3. The air in the chamber above the piston 11 is maintained at a lower temperature due to adiabative expansion. The tool may be mounted on an extension from a truck &c., and the anvil 27 may be omitted so that the piston 21 impinges directly on the chisel 28.

Abstract: 522,734. Rock &c. drills. HOLMAN BROS., Ltd., and COCK, B. Dec. 14, 1938, No. 36445. [Class 124] A percussive or rotary rock or like drill is fed with respect to a relatively fixed support by means directly driven from a motor which is controlled in accordance with the relative positions of a part of the drill pertaining to or moving with the drill bit and another part of the drill. In the form shown, the drill 11 is advanced along a cradle 10 by means of a feed screw 12 in engagement with a sleeve 14 having external gear teeth 15 rotated directly by a fluid pressure motor. The pressure fluid under the control of a main valve 25 is supplied to a channel 26 and small-bore passages 27, 28 to the two ends of a differential piston valve 24. When the bit 16 is advanced, a shoulder 20 on the chuck 17 engages a spring-controlled ball valve 21 to open a passage 23 to atmosphere. The valve 24 moves upwardly, air being admitted at 30, and pressure fluid is supplied by a conduit 29 to the motor which rotates the sleeve 14 to advance the drill. In one modification, the ball valve 21 is replaced by a piston valve ; in a second the chuck itself acts as a. piston valve ; in a third the shoulder 20 engages a spring-urged push rod connected to the valve 24 ; and in a fourth and fifth the percussive piston 18 and the sleeve 14, respectively, operate a ball valve corresponding to valve 21.
