Filed: 1972-05-04
Abstract: 1388718 Mechanical storage OKURA YUSOKI KK 4 May 1972 [29 June 1971] 20863/72 Heading A4T A storage having shelves in rows and columns has a staker crane 22, 23 at the entrance and exit sides, respectively the shelf stack movable on rails 18-21 along the rows of shelves for positioning at the appropriate row and provided with elevators 30, 34. Carry-in and carry-out conveyors 42, 43 bring the goods on pallets 58 to and from the storage and transfer devices 44, 45 move the pallets to and from the elevators 30, 34. Carriages 10 supported by wheels 9 on rails 8 can move the pallets along roller ways 5 of the shelves 4. A pallet 58 arriving on the conveyor 42 at the appropriate shelf row at which the crane 22 and transfer device 44 have been positioned is raised from the conveyor 42 by elevating the platform 50 of the device 44 by a ram 51 and its conveyor 52 is actuated to move the pallet 58 on to a conveyor 31 until the engaging members 33 of a push in member 32 are passed and engage the pallet to move it on to the rollers 5 of the shelves 4 as the member 32 is actuated. To withdraw a pallet with the crane 23 and transfer device 45 positioned at the appropriate row a receiver 36 of the elevator 23 is advanced its couplers 40, 41 pushing plates 17 of the carriage 10 towards the goods receiving side of the shelf until the receiver 36 is positioned under one or more of the leading pallets 58. The receiver 36 is then raised first to pick up the pallets 58 above it and then to insert its couplers 40, 41 behind a frame 15 of the carriage 10 so that retraction of the receiver 36 brings its engaged pallets on to the conveyor 35 of the elevator 34 and withdraws the carriage 10 its members 12 engaging further pallets to withdraw them until stopped by a buffer 6. The receiver 36 is then lowered to disengage from the carriage 10 and the conveyor 35 of the elevator is driven to position the pallets thereon after which the elevator is lowered into line with the conveyor 52 of the transfer device 45 after which the conveyors are again actuated to move the pallets into position over the carry-out conveyor 43 on to which they are lowered by the platform 50 actuated by the ram 51.

Filed: 1925-08-31
Abstract: 239,241. Drying Systems, Inc., (Assignees of Burrell, E.). Aug. 29, 1924, [Convention date]. Spray burners; liquid-fuel supply. - A centrifugal oil burner comprises a sheet-metal cup 12 secured by a spider 18 to a vertical shaft 14 which is driven from the horizontal armature shaft 38 of a high-speed electric motor through a vertical intermediate shaft 48 and torsion springs 46, 56. The resilient mounting of the cup allows the cup to find its true centre of rotation at high speeds. The cup 12 consists of a lower portion which is slightly flared and has a large circular opening 13 in the bottom for the passage of the shaft 14 and an upper portion preferably flared at a considerably greater angle than the lower portion. A draught action is produced on the inside of the cup by forming t'he arms 21 of the spider 18 slanting and on the outside of the cup by means of vanes 25 on a sheet-metal annulus 24 fitting on the lower portion of the cup. The oil is delivered under pressure to the inside of the cup through a nozzle 16 on a pipe 15. Preferably the oil passes to the pipe 15 through valve-controlled ports 31, 32 in a casting 27 attached to the end of the motor. The valve 29 has an annular port 30 and is pressed by a spring 36 against the end of a plug 40 screwing into an internally-threaded plug 39 on the end of the armature shaft 38. When the motor is started the inertia of a flywheel 44 attached to the plug 40 causes it to unscrew from the plug 39 so as to bring the port 30 into register with the ports 31. 32 and allow oil to pass t'o the cup 12. When the motor is stopped, the momentum of the flywheel causes the plug 40 to screw into the plug 39 and allows the spring 36 to operate the valve 29 to cut off the oil supply. The casting 27 is preferably filled with lubricating oil. A casing 50, also preferably filled with lubricating oil, fits over the spring 46 and carries the ball bearings 49 of the shaft 48. The bearings 49 are preferably lubricated by oil supplied through a pipe 60 by a rotary pump 58 on the motor shaft. The casing 50 is provided with a removable cap 53 and a hand-hole cover 51. The spring 56 which fits in the cupped ends 55, 57 of the shafts 14, 48 may be replaced by two springs wound together and having the same diameter.

Abstract: 717,388. Slipping clutches; yielding couplings. SHEPPEE MOTOR & ENGINEERING CO., Ltd. Sept. 1, 1952, No. 21898/52. Class 80 (2) An overload release clutch comprises a first clutch member 14, interposed between a surface of friction material 13 rotatable with a second clutch member 11, 16, and a plurality of elements such as balls 18 carried in angularly spaced relationship by the second clutch member and urged resiliently in an axial direction for drive transmission engagement into recesses in' the first clutch member, the said elements being displaceable axially relative to the second clutch member in guides 16a of hardened steel and the recesses being so formed that the elements 18 are forced out of them at a predetermined load. As shown, the first clutch member is a driving V-pulley, the second clutch member 11, 16 being driven thereby. The recesses consist of radial grooves in a hard steel ring 15 and the balls are pressed into them by springs 20 in a collar 21 keyed to the shaft 11. In a modification (Figs. 5, 6, not shown), the member 14 is a sprocket and the springs 20 are replaced by a single helical spring surrounding the hub. The clutch can be made to operate a switch on overload by passing studs through the springs 20 to engage the balls 18 and connecting the studs to a plate in contact with a roller on the end of the switch arm. Ball-ended plungers may be used instead of the balls 18.

Abstract: 643,341. Fuel-injection pumps. INTERNATIONAL HARVESTER CO. OF GREAT BRITAIN, Ltd. Aug. 8, 1947, No. 21905. Convention date, April 20, 1940. [Class 102(i)] [Also in Group XXVI] A fuel injection pump of the type wherein a single injection plunger is utilized for injecting fuel into a plurality of engine cylinders comprises a casing 20 having an external surface 26 adapted to receive a removable distributer valve unit 142 whose distributing valves 152 are axially aligned with valve actuating tappets 35 slidable in bores 36 in the casing and operated by cams 34 on a drive shaft 29, the fuel being supplied under pressure to the distributer by a fuel injection plunger unit 100 removably mounted in a bore 25 in the casing and operated from a second shaft 42 driven through gears 40, 41 from the drive shaft. The plunger unit is of the type described in Specification 644,397 and is actuated by an eccentric 48 on the shaft 42, the quantity of fuel delivered per stroke being regulated by rotating a quadrant 110 by a rack which is moved in response to engine speed by a centrifugal governor 158, (see Group XXVI). Fuel is drawn from a storage tank by a gear pump 59 and delivered thereby to an external filter which in turn supplies the fuel to the inlet 138 of the plunger unit. Waste fuel leaking past the distributing valves 152 collects in recesses 38 which communicate through a channel 39 and bore 25 with a channel 28 which also receives waste fuel leaking from the plunger unit. The waste fuel is then drained by gravity through a conduit 93 to the inlet of a scavenging gear pump 73 which returns it to the supply tank. Both gear pumps 73, 59 are packed in a single casing 54 and are driven by a common shaft 53 coupled to the shaft 42. The bottom of the casing is adapted to form a lubricant reservoir.
