IPC: B21C9/00
Filed: 1919-11-08
Abstract: 139,455. Ball Rolled Tube Corporation, (Assignees of Brinkman, L. H.). Feb. 10, [Convention date]. Axial rolling; rolling tubes; rolling- mandrels.-In drawing metal tubes, heat is communicated to the articles by heated walls such as a tube, between which the articles are passed, so as to distribute the heat more evenly and to prevent too intense heating and scaling, which is caused when the gases from an oil or gas furnace impinge directly on the work. In the form shown, in which a tube 5 is drawn through a rotating ball die 8, as described in Specification 110,598, the tube passes through and is heated by a tube 4 extending through a furnace 1 having fuel or fuel and air pipes 2 and 3. The inner end of the tube 4 extends up to the die to prevent cooling of the tube 5 after leaving the furnace. The mandrel has a head 11 of high-speed steel screwed to a member 12 which is screwed to a tube 10, a space 16 being provided to reduce heating of the member 12. To avoid damage to the threads on the portion 14 of the member 12, water is forced from a pipe 19 into a closed passage 17 therein. The water passes back through and cools the tube 10 and is drained out of the opening 20. The tube 10 is surrounded by a heat-insulating covering 21 such as asbestos, held in place by a metal sleeve 22. The Specification as open to inspection under Sect. 91 (3) (a) states that the apparatus is applicable for drawing rods. This subject-matter does not appear in the Specification as accepted.

Title: Window cleaning apparatus
Inventor: SARGEANT JOHN E
IPC: B60S1/04
Filed: 1970-06-08
Abstract: 1,274,598. Cleaning windows. McCORD CORP. June 8, 1970, No.27695/70. Heading A4F. A window, e.g. the rear window 16 of a motor vehicle of station wagon type, is provided with cleaning apparatus comprising a wiper blade 69 dispersed above and parallel to an elongated liquid discharge member 31, both extending transversely of the window and mounted on a support 49 for pivotal movement between positions in which the wiper blade 69 is in and out of wiping engagement with the window. The wiper blade 16 is held in its inoperative position disengaged from the window 16 by the engagement of a pivoted hook 43 with a latch member 51 on the support 49; the hook 43 being held against the member 57 by the action of a spring 77 on a plate 44 integral with the hook 43. When an electric motor driven pump 93, Fig. 8 (not shown) is energized liquid is passed to the discharge tube 31 via a hose 76 having a restricted outlet connector so that the liquid flow causes the hose 76 to expand to tilt the plate 44 and release the latch 51. The support 49 is then tilted by a torsion spring 71 so that the wiper blade 69 engages the window 16. The motor driving the pump is energized (by closing two switches simultaneously) at the same time as an electric motor driving mechanism for raising the window 16, which is thus cleaned as it moves past the sprayer 31 and in contact with the wiper 69. When the window 16 reaches its uppermost position pins 98 thereon engage the support 49 to tilt it so that the blade 69 is moved away from the window and the plate 44 is pressed against the hose 71 to reduce the liquid supply to the sprayer 31.

Abstract: 1,131,281. Fuel-injection pumps. C.A.V. Ltd. Dec. 20, 1965 [Jan. 7, 1965], No.27905/64. Heading F1A. A fuel-injection pump comprises a rotary distributer 11 with pistons 19 reciprocated by rollers 20 engaging a cam track 21, the fuel delivered by pistons 19 acting on a piston 23 to discharge fuel from a working chamber 22 to the engine cylinders via delivery passage 25 sequentially communicating with delivery ports 26. Working chamber 22 is supplied by a metering piston 30 in a cylinder 29 to which fuel is fed beneath piston 30 by a feed pump 13 via an adjustable throttle 43, which regulates the supply to piston 30 and to pistons 19 such that, as the supply to piston 30 is decreased the supply to pistons 19 is increased, thereby controlling the injection timing in relation to engine load. Throttle 43 is moved upwardly against a spring 44 by the feed pump pressure, and therefore acts to govern the speed of the engine for a given spring setting. The setting of throttle spring 44 is adjusted manually through lever 45. The maximum injection delivery is adjustable by set screw 31. The injection timing may be made dependent on engine speed by incorporating a pressure responsive throttle valve in a passage between the feed pump delivery line and pistons 19, Fig. 6 (not shown).

[Class 83 (iv).] The reciprocating ram member carrying the upper die or tool in a metal stamping, cupping, or like press may be moved from alignment with the lower tool to allow ejection of the work. A cupping-press comprises an upper reciprocating head 1 actuated from a shaft 3, carrying a member 4 on which the upper tool 5 is mounted and pivoted at 7 in a recess in the head 1. A cam 14 on the shaft 3 rocks levers 11 about a pivot 12 to swing the part 4 aside through a link 10 to permit the blank 34 to be ejected on the up-stroke of the press-head. Links 21 ensure the link 10 moving parallel to itself. The forward end of link 10 carries rollers 25 bearing in runways on the part 10 formed by a plate 27. An ejector rod 35 connected to a link 37 pivoted at 39 to the head 1 is automatically actuated as the part 4 is swung aside. In a modification, the part 4 instead of pivoting on the head 1 works in quadrant guides thereon. In a further modification in which the part 4, Fig. 8, is swung aside by links 10, 11, an ejector rod 35 normally upwardly spring-pressed is brought, on the swinging movement of the part 4, beneath the end of a lever 44 which, in that position, is depressed against the action of a spring 48 when the link 11 contacts with a roller 47 on an arm 46. A locking bolt for the part 4 in its working position, which may be associated with any of the modifications, comprises a spring-pressed bolt 50 which is withdrawn on the up-stroke of the press-head by a roller 56 riding over a shoulder 59 on a stationary guidebar 57.

Abstract: 1,118,032. Electrophonic musical instrument. WARWICK ELECTRONICS Inc. 2 July, 1965 [2 July, 1964], No. 28132/65. Heading G5J. Percussion effects may be added to the output of an electric organ, or the attack and decay of notes played modified, under the control of a repetitive modulating device. As shown, the modulating device is a rotating cylinder 23 having transparent and opaque sections, through which light from suitable sources falls on lightdependent resistors 19, 19a in a non-uniform rhythmic pattern which may be that of a waltz, fox-trot &c. according to which of the alternative bands (44) is brought into use by relative lateral movement of the cylinder. The resistors 19 and 19a may be included respectively in the circuits of the pedal and manual keyboard outputs or may modulate the output of an oscillator 42 part of the circuits of the pedal and manual keyboards. Alternative positions of the channel switches 26 and 43 and multi-pole mode switch 27 allow the extent and nature of the effect obtained to be varied. For example, when switch 26 is in position 51 and switch 27 in position 52 signals from the manual keyboard 11 go directly to the voicing network 17, amplifier 16 and output circuit 14 and are also applied to the input 38 of a trigger-circuit 36, by-passing resistance 19. If the musician pauses, e.g. by playing " non-legato," the onset of the first tone after the gap releases a pulse and causes whatever percussion device is in circuit to sound. When switch 26 is in position 51 and switch 27 in position 54, signals from the keyboard 11 pass directly to the voicing circuit, amplifier and output, and a steady signal from the continuous oscillator 42 is modulated by the cylinder 23. The trigger circuit fires under the control of the modulating drum only and the percussion effects are triggered accordingly. When switch 26 is in position 53 and switch 27 in position 52, the output from keyboard 11 is modulated by the pattern on the cylinder 23 and controlled in its rhythm, attack and decay and the normal pattern triggers the special circuits. The manual or pedal keyboard can be controlled in this way and the other played normally if required.

Heading D1E Opening and closing of stripper jaws 13, 23 as they move endwise to remove the tip bunch 41 from a bobbin is effected by a slidable pin 34 carried in fixed bearings 7, 33. As the jaws move to the right to act on the bobbin 42, the pin 34 accompanies them, owing to engagement of round-headed screws 16, 26 in a groove 37, until a shoulder 40 on the pin encounters the bearing 33; at this point, the screws 16, 26 are near a fixed cone 8, so that continued movement of the jaws past the tip bunch causes the screws to ride out of the groove 37 and on to the cone. The pin 34 is immediately retracted by a spring 38. As the jaws return to the left, the screws 16, 26 ride off the cone 8 on to the pin 34, thereby allowing the jaws to close on to the bobbin and draw off the tip bunch. At the end of the return stroke of the jaws, the screws 16, 26 ride up a conical surface 36 on the pin and snap into the groove 37. In a modification, the cone 8 is part of the pin, rapid retraction of the pin by the spring being relied on to cause the screws to jump from the groove 37 on to the cone without coming to rest on the small diameter of the pin. In another form, the jaws 13, 23 are on the sides of the levers 12, 22 and engage the bobbin by a swinging movement, their opening and closing movement being effected by a swinging profiled member.

A reciprocating-gripper feed for bar-stock comprises two clamping jaws 13, 14, Fig. 3, mounted in a feed-carriage 12 and urged apart by springs 16, 17. The jaws are caused to close upon the bar-stock by a bell-crank lever 22 pivoted at 20, Fig. 1, to the carriage and connected at 23 to the piston 24 of a fluid-pressure cylinder. The initial part of the forward stroke of the piston in the feeding direction rocks the lever and clamps the jaws and the remainder of the stroke maintains the grip of the jaws and advances the lever, carriage, jaws and bar-stock over a predetermined distance. A stationary supporting-bracket 10 is fixed to a machine in which bar-stock is to be fed. A pair of guiderods 11, Fig. 3, secured to the bracket 10, slidably support the feed-carriage 12. The jaws 13, 14 are arranged in a vertical slideway but the upper jaw is limited in movement by a cover-piece 21. The lower jaw is engaged by a roller 18 carried at the ends of the shorter arms of the built-up bell crank lever. Projecting horns 27 on these arms engage the carriage 12 in the fully retracted position, Fig. 1. Adjustable stops may limit the amount of feed of the bar and the operating piston is returned by fluidpressure or a spring.
