Title: Improvements in or relating to spring coiling machines
IPC: B21F3/06
Filed: 1938-01-07
Abstract: 500,316. Coiling springs. TORRING- TON MANUFACTURING CO. Jan. 7, 1938, No. 531. Convention date, March 20, 1937. [Class 83 (iv)] In a machine for coiling springs, wire is intermittently fed by rolls 6, 7 through guides 5, 8 to an adjustable coiling abutment 15. It, is deflected around an arbor 14, An adjustable pitch tool 17 determines the pitch. Pivoted tools 19 shear against the arbor to sever the springs. Feed. An electromotor 21 rotates a pulley 23 connected by a clutch 25 to a shaft 24. A change-speed gear 28 driven by the shaft 24 drives a gear 32 engaging a wheel 33 carrying a crank-pin 40 adjustable by a screw 56. The pin 40 drives a quadrant 43 pivoted on a pin 44 and engaging a gear 45 driving, through a ratchet 49, a shaft 46 geared to the feed rolls 6, 7. The rotation of the feed rolls is varied by an adjustment of the pin 40 or by changing the gear-wheels 52, 53. Coiling. The coiling abutment 15 is carried by a slide 75 coupled to a lever 81. A rod 82 on the lever 81 is connected to a lever 83 oscillated by a cam 86 on a shaft 37 driven from a gear 35. The cam 86 oscillates the lever 83 through a lever 84. A member 83a adjustable on the lever 83 by a screw 93a varies the effective length of the lever 83 and the position of the abutment 15. The connection between the rod 82 and the lever S is adjusted by a screw 90. For parallel springs, the screw 90 is rotated to lengthen the rod 82 and to move the member 83a out of the influence of the cam 86. Pitch-control. A pitch-control tool 17 is mounted in a tool holder 61 clamped in the frame by a screw and is axially moved to vary the pitch by a bell-crank actuated by a rod 98 and cam on the, shaft 37. The effective length of the rod 98 is increased by manipulation of a screw 104 to render the cam inoperative in winding springs of uniform pitch. Shearing. Pivoted tools 19 on heads 20, mounted for lateral adjustment by a screw, are cross-connected and operated by an adjustable rod from a cam on the shaft 37. The upper tool 19 co-operates with the winding spindle for shearing L.H. springs and the lower tool is inoperative and vice versa.
Patent GB-524805-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in or relating to the mercerising and lustreing of textile fibres
IPC: D06M11/38
Filed: 1939-01-07
Abstract: 524,805. Treating textiles with liquids. BRANDWOOD, J. Jan. 7, 1939, No. 582. [Class 15 (ii)] Textile fibres in the form of wound rovings or the like are treated with a liquid by differential pressure, whereby they are given a temporary tensile strength to resist subsequent winding tension, and then wound under tension on to perforated holders. Mercerizing and other liquids are then passed by differential pressure through the holders and the rovings. These are subsequently dried. In an example, the wound rovings are treated with hot water. Compressed air is then passed through the rovings to clear surplus liquid therefrom. The moist rovings are then wound on perforated spools. They may be cross-wound. Mercerizing lye, souring liquid, and wash water are passed successively through the wound material. Drying may be effected by passing hot air through the wound material on the spools. The dried material may be set up in a spinning creel for spinning. If desired, the tendency for the fibres to slip may be further reduced by adding substances such as solutions of caustic soda, gum, glue, or soluble starch, to the water used for the moistening step. The rovings, after mercerizing and drying, may in this case be directly employed as yarns in weaving and other operations. The mercerized rovings while still moist may be doubled together to form a doubled yarn or cord. Specification 482,817 is referred to.

Turning-gear.-A starting-handle 1, Fig. 1, having means for preventing damage in the event of a back-fire, rotates, through a one-way clutch 5, a spindle 10 having dogs 11 which engage similar dogs in the engine shaft 9. The part 4 of the oneway clutch 5, which is secured to the spindle 10 by a pin 15, has teeth 14 which engage corresponding teeth on the driven part 5<1> of a second oneway clutch 3<1>. When rotating the spindle 10 in a clockwise direction at starting, the clutch member 5<1> runs free, but in the event of a back-fire, the member 5<1> is locked, thus disengaging the clutches and the dogs 11. In the modification shown in Fig. 7, the clutch members 5, 5<1> are connected indirectly through a slotted sleeve 32 having teeth (not shown), which engage corresponding teeth on the projecting sleeve 4<1> of the clutch member 5<1>. The clutch member 5 rotates the spindle 10 through a pin 33, which is fixed to the spindle and engages the slot 34 in the sleeve 32. In the event of a back-fire, the sleeve 32 slides upon the spindle and disengages the clutch 5 and the start. ing-handle, the dogs (not shown) on the spindle and the engine shaft remaining unclutched. In a further modification the sleeve 4<1> of the clutch member 5<1>, Fig. 1, is mounted upon a second sleeve secured to the spindle 10. Upon back-firing, the second sleeve, which has teeth engaging the clutch member 5, disengages the starting-handle. In the kickstarter shown in Fig. 10, the starting-handle is replaced by a pedal lever 1 which rotates the clutch member 4 in a clockwise direction, and the clutch-member, upon a back-fire, slides in the hub of the lever 1 out of engagement with the teeth on the second clutch member 4<1>. The clutch members 4. 4' are held in their starting positions by a spring 21, the member 4 being retained in its withdrawn position by a finger carried by a foot-lever 28, which drops into a groove 26 in an extension of the retracted member. In a further modification, inclined teeth on a starting-handle engage similar teeth on one of the members of a one-way clutch, the shaft supporting the handle also carrying a second one-way clutch driving a chain-wheel connected to the engine shaft. Upon a back-fire, the one-way clutch in the chain-wheel reverses the motion of the starting-handle shaft, locks the other one-way clutch, and disengages the handle. In the modification shown in Fig. 15 a drum 40, which is actuated by a hand-driven belt, replaces the starting-handle. The one-way clutch 5 actuates through a pin 46 carried by a sleeve 4 the member 5<1> of a second one-way clutch. Upon a back-fire, the clutch 5' is locked, and, the sleeve 4 and clutch 5 being free, the pin 46 is disengaged. The drum is held in its normal position by a spring 47.

Preferably the blow mould and mandrel continue moving in the same direction back to the first position via an article ejecting position, but they may alternatively oscillate between the extreme positions. Three or four blow moulds 18, Fig. 9, are mounted on rods 15 which slide through plates 10 carried by a shaft 13 which is rotated by a Geneva mechanism 19-26. Rams 28 are operated to move the rods 15 against the urging of springs 16 to move the blow mould 18 together about the preform mould halves 31 which are mounted on plates 32 urged apart by a spring 35. The rams overcome the springs 32 and close the mould 31 whereupon an injection unit is moved forward to engage the mould. Material is injected either directly from a screw plasticizing chamber 36 or indirectly by means of a ram operating in an accumulation chamber 40 (Fig. 10, not shown) having a larger capacity than the plasticizing chamber (136) which feeds it. The moulds are then opened and the blow mould and mandrel rotated to the upper position where rams 29 close the blow mould about the mandrel. On further rotation the mould is kept closed by engagement of rollers 17 on the ends of rods 15 with cam surfaces 27. Blowing air is supplied to the mandrel through the shaft 13 and after further rotation the mould is opened and the article blown off or stripped from the mandrel before rotation to the injection position again. The preform and blow mould halves may alternatively move radially of the rotating shaft, with the mandrel and the direction of reciprocation of the injection unit parallel with the shaft. Two injectors may be used for multicolour articles.

Title: Apparatus for freezing desserts
Inventor: YOHE LESTER N
IPC: A23G9/12
Filed: 1954-01-13
Abstract: 748,639. Mixing appliances. ENTERPRISE MANUFACTURING CO. OF PENNSYLVANIA. Jan. 13, 1954, No. 969/54. Class 86. [Also in Group XIII] Relates to means for freezing ice-cream &c. comprising a tray A adapted to be inserted in a refrigerator and having a lid C carrying a motor J which drives through gearing K, at least two agitators G, H depending into the tray. According to the invention agitators G, H are so constructed that, if rotated in the same sense, one would urge the mix downwards and the other upwards and they are detachably and interchangeably coupled to the gearing which rotates them in opposite senses. The result is that in one position both agitators urge the mix downwards to give a dense product and, if the agitators be interchanged, they both urge the mix upwards to give a fluffy product. Agitators G, H have each two wings having triangular openings 33 which act as dies for mixing the mix and one wing of agitator H and both wings of agitator G have cambered upper edges 29 so disposed as to give the desired mixing motion. The wings sweep the bottom and arcuate end walls of the tray with a clearance which is sufficiently small to prevent accumulation of frozen mix thereon. The lid C has a cover D enclosing the gearing K and is held in place by a clip 15 engaging under a top flange 4 of the tray A. Lid C around each agitator coupling has upward and downward facing bosses 9, 10, Fig. 4, on the former of which a drive gear 45 of gearing K runs. A driving stud 44 from the gear 45 passes down through the lid and works in a bearing sleeve 49 and a lubricating pad 48 carried on an inturned flange 11 of boss 10. The stud 44 is held from upward movement by a split ring 46 lying in a groove therein and abutting the underside of flange 11. The stud 44 has a squared end 50 engaging a squared socket 24 in the hub of the agitator. A readily detachable connection between the hub and the stud 44 is effected by a split ring 51 lying in grooves in the stud and hub. The top 21 of the hub surrounds boss 10 and abuts the underside of the lid C to prevent passage of mix into the detachable connection. In a modification, Fig. 9, the motor Q is located above the gearing R, three agitators are provided and an auxiliary lid S is provided beneath the main lid P carrying the gearing. Side levers T are provided which, when swung outward, bear on lid S to break any frozen bond between it and lid P and to hold the agitators in place, and free the connection between lid P and the tray. The former is then removed with the gearing and driving studs and the agitators are left in the tray which is covered by lid S. The orbits of the agitators may intermesh.
