Title: Improvements in a method and apparatus for making spiral wound tubing
IPC: D06H5/00
Filed: 1943-11-20
Abstract: 571,397. Sewing machines for spiral wound tubing. DEHN, F. B. (Spiral Bagging Machine Corporation). Nov. 20, 1943, No. 8017. [Class 112] Sheet textile material from a roll 43, Fig. 6, is drawn by pairs of feed-rollers 74 to pass around a stationary mandrel comprising rods 84, 85, 86, the material being overlapped and stitched together by a needle 57 and passing off the mandrel to a roller 105, Fig. 3, to be again rolled up. The perimeter of the mandrel may be varied by adjusting links 94 through a slide handle 97, Fig. 2. The motor 51 drives the needle and looper or shuttle, Fig. 9, and since the usual feed dog may be dispensed with, power is transmitted laterally around the edge of the sheeting from the upper to the lower mechanism, the usual support column for the sewing- machine being omitted. The motor also drives the pairs of chain-coupled rollers 74, the apparatus for winding off the tubing, and tensioning rollers for the material. An I-beam 33 is supported on a number of pedestals, and carries an L- beam 34 through intermediate supports. The material is fed over a table 39, Fig. 2, the edges being guided by any means. Photo-electric cell units may be used. Tensioning bars 44 are mounted on stub shafts 45, 46, in a frame 38, and together may be rotated by an end-wheel and locked in position. The material passes over a fixed rod 50 and between bars 44. The upper feed rollers 74 are supported from the frame 34, Fig. 5, while the lower idler rollers have each a shaft which is spring-pressed upwards. The top mandrel bars 84 are supported on cross-members 87, Fig. 2, and bars 85 are supported from the beam 33 by cross-bars 88 having pivoted rods 89 connected to further rods 90. The rods 86 are supported as shown in Fig. 19 and have counterweights 92. As the tubular material leaves the mandrel it is passed over a bar 102, which is freely rotatable on a shaft 101 and elongated, Figs. 3 and 5, before being passed between a pair of rollers 104 in a rotatable frame 103 and is finally wound round a roller 105 driven by means of a slip clutch mechanism which includes a pulley 106 and clutch plates 107. The spider frame 103 is mounted on a shaft 116, journalled in a pedestal 117, and has a wheel 118 which enables the spider to be turned by an operator, and also the roller 105, the slip clutch mechanism compensating for the variation in angular speed of the roller, as the roll of material increases. In a modified form of winding apparatus, Fig. 21, the rollers 104 are replaced by knurled rollers 131, 136, geared together. The wheel 118 is connected with the frame 103 by a sleeve 125. The rollers 131, 136 are rotated from a shaft 122 through gearing as shown. The bearings of roller 136 are supported in angularly adjustable brackets 137, 138, through a handle 140 and a screwed stem 139 which is movable in a slot in the frame. Shaft 122 is driven by the motor 51.

Title: Pulse receivers
IPC: H03D9/02
Filed: 1972-02-22
Abstract: 1377263 Radio receiving circuits; radio signalling SPERRY RAND CORP 22 Feb 1972 [12 March 1971] 8049/72 Heading H3Q H3T and H4L  A receiver for short electromagnetic pulses comprises a wide band transmission line aerial coupled to a semi-conductor diode having two stable states, normally biased in the first state but driven to the second state upon arrival of a pulse, and coupled to a circuit which produces an output wave of amplified energy and of greater duration than the pulse. A further circuit utilizes a version of this output wave to return the diode to thefirst state. An aerial comprising a couple of truncated triangular conducting elements 10, 11 arranged so that the spacing between them is always in a constant ratio to the corresponding width of each element is coupled via a matching balanced and screened transmission line (Fig. 2, not shown) to a tunnel diode 25, via a capacitor 26 which prevents accidental short-circuit of the diode 25. The space between the elements 10, 11 may be filled with foamed plastic, or they may be held in position by plastic struts. The tunnel diode 25 is normally biased from terminal 28 and via resistors 29, 30, 27 to its lower stable state: a negative-going pulse at junction 50 drives the diode 25 through its negative resistance region into the upper stable state. As a result, transistor 33, which is normally biased non-conductive, is pulsed conductive, thereby driving avalanche transistor 35, which is also normally non- conductive, conductive. An output pulse is thereby generated across capacitor 41 and applied to signal processing circuit 51. The pulse at the junction of resistors 31, 45 drives diodes 44, 43 conductive, and so reduces the cathode potential of tunnel diode 25 that it returns to its first stable state. The processing circuit 51 and display 52 may display the output pulse on a cathode-ray tube, or count the number of pulses in a burst or in an arbitrary time-interval, or if the pulses are interval-modulated with intelligence, demodulate the signal for display on an indicator or operate a loud-speaker.
