Filed: 1946-09-26
Abstract: 617,039. Sewing ; sewing-machines. LEADER. S. A. Sept. 26, 1946, No. 28840. Drawings to Specification. [Class 112] Seams.-A plurality of fabric layers, particularly when an interlayer of kapok fibre is included, are connected by a continuous line of stitching and secured against unravelling by the application of adhesive, such as a solution of plasticised synthetic resin in a solvent which is readily absorbed by the fabric, by the needle at each stitch. Padded fabric can thus be formed before being cut to shape for garments without the possibility of the layers separating when cut. Liquids, applying to work.-Adhesive is applied along a line of stitching by applying it to the needle point after the latter has penetrated the work. In the arrangement described, the needle dips into a well of adhesive at the end of its downstroke; flow of adhesive may be produced or aided mechanically.

Title: Improvements in or relating to screened coils provided with means for adjusting the self-inductance thereof
IPC: H01F27/36
Filed: 1930-09-30
Abstract: 359,168. Inductances. NAAMLOOZE VENNOOTSCHAP PHILIPS' GLOEILAMPENFABRIEKEN, 13D, Emmasingel, Eindhoven, Holland. Sept. 30, 1930, No. 29254. Convention date, Oct. 25, 1929. [Class 37.] A screened inductance comprises two or more seriesconnected coaxial coils, the ends of which are led out so that the inductance can be varied by successively shortcircuiting a part of the coils, all the coils being provided with a metal disc, ring, or other body which is rotatable on an axis and is arranged near the side of the coil to which it belongs, for varying the inductance. In the construction shown, a cylindrical former 2 is mounted by means of straps 6, within a screening case 1. On the former 2 are wound three coils 3, 4, 5 connected in series and having connecting leads brought out through metal bushes 9, 10 so that one coil can be employed alone or two or three in series, giving three values of the inductance. Metal discs 11, 12, 13 are mounted on spindles 14, 15, 16 of which the central portions 17, 18, 19 are of insulating material and the end-pieces are of metal with screw heads at one end by which the spindles may be turned. Coils 4, 5 are shortcircuited and the spindle 17 carrying the disc 11 is adjusted until the inductance of the coil 3 has the desired value. Coils 3, 4 are then connected in series, the coil 5 being short-circuited, and the disc 12 is turned until the total inductance of the coils 3, 4 has the desired value. The inductance of the complete coil is then adjusted by means of the disc 13. The disc 12 is arranged at the end of the coil 4 farthest from the coil 3, so that the coil 4 acts as a screen between the coil 3 and the disc 12, and the adjustment of the coil 3 is not affected by the disc 12. The disc 13 is similarly arranged with respect to the coil 5. After adjustment the spindles may be fixed by soldering, or metal caps may be soldered to the wall of the case 1, in which case the spindles may consist entirely of insulating material. The spindles may alternatively project through small tubes. The Specification as open to inspection under Sect. 91 (3) (a) states also that a closed winding may be employed instead of the metal disc, ring, &c. This subject-matter does not appear in the Specification as accepted.

Filed: 1964-07-21
Abstract: 1,072,642. Vertical slat louvre blinds. R. J. ELDREDGE, C. M. KIRTLEY, J. E. LOGAN and G. M. GRUSIN. July 21, 1964, No. 29424/64. Heading E1J. In a vertical slat louvre blind as described below and adapted to traverse a window horizontally, the ends of the louvres 22 are releasably fastened directly to resilient means 78 which in their turn are each supported on the end of a stem 71 extending from a carrier 43, Fig. 4, each stem 71 having a slot 74 to receive the spring means 78 which are accommodated in a hem or loop of the louvre and are held by a curved portion 89 pressed home in a concave end of the slot 74. The carriers 43 run on horizontal runways 33, Fig. 4, and are interconnected by a lazy tong mechanism 49, Fig. 3, which imparts to them relative movement independently of the drive gear rod 44. This rod 44 extends through all the carriers and is connected to the stems 71 supporting the louvres, through one set of teeth 63 on a respective horizontal rack and pinion 69 on the stem 71 meshing with another set of teeth on the rack. The rod 44 is driven from a cord-operated wheel 93 through a type of pawl and ratchet mechanism which rotates the rod intermittently at a slower rate than that of the wheel. The said mechanism comprises an excentric 126, Fig. 19 on an extension 119 of the rod which operates on a disc 128 having a stop arm 129. To cause this disc to oscillate and shoulders 132 on the disc cooperate with teeth on a disc 134 secured to the extension rod 119 and a plate on the rod 119 limits the rotation in clockwise and anticlockwise direction to 180‹. and hence the limitation of rotation of the louvres. The spacing of the louvres is effected by horizontal cords 99b (Fig. 4) passing around end pulleys such as 102 and through bores 67 in the carriers 43 which are carried along by the cords by suitably placed knots or buttons &c, so that the top and bottom paired carriers move together to close up or separate the louver carriers. The end carriers near the joints may be detachably secured to the window frame so that the whole louvre system may be moved.

Filed: 1922-10-28
Abstract: 210,502. Powley & Sons, Ltd., R., and Powley, M. Oct. 28, 1922. Bottles, jars, &c., washing.-The bottles, jars, &c. are drawn in between revolving internal and external brushes and discharged therefrom into a rinsing machine by reciprocating heel brushes. A tank 1 partly filled with water contains the rotary external brushes 3, and mounted to slide vertically therein is a bracket 10 with cradles 11 upon which bottles 12 are placed when the bracket is in its lowest position A. Heel brushes 9 depending from a cross-head 24 slidable in a guide 25 then pass over the bottles into the position X, the cross-head 24 being reciprocated b connecting-rod 26, lever 27, and cam 28. Revolving internal brushes 40 are simultaneously brought outward, being carried by a cross-head 37 sliding on the guide 25 and reciprocated by connecting-rod 52, lever 51, and cam 50. The drive for these brushes is by a square shaft 44 adapted to slide through the gear-box 42. The bracket 40 is then raised to the position A<1> by levers 13, 16, 18 and rim 19 and the heel brushes move inwards, pushing the bottles on to the external brushes 3 and over the internal brushes 40, the bottles being centred by engaging socket members 48 fixed to cross-heads 47 slidable on a guide 46 carried by the cross-head 37. These socket members are moved back to the feed end of the machine with the heel brushes by a rod 49, but are free to be pushed forward by the bottles, the rod 49 then sliding through the cross-head 24. The heel brushes remain stationary at the position X' while the bottles, pressed upon the brushes by rollers 23<a>, are brushed, the internal brushes revolving faster than the external brushes so that the bottles are rotated. When the forward movement is resumed the internal brushes travel faster than the heel brushes so that when the bottles arrive in the position for discharge the internal brushes are withdrawn, the sockets 48, however, still engage the bottles. The final movement of the heel brushes pushes the bottles on to cradles 30 which, as soon as the sockets are withdrawn, are tilted by a rocking-lever 34 engaging a cam 35 on the cross-head 37, so as to discharge the bottles into cups 31 of a rinsing machine or other receiving device.
