Title: Improvements in liquid transferring means
IPC: B41F31/30
Filed: 1956-02-16
Abstract: <PICT:0803442/III/1> Mechanism for pre-setting a roller on to two travelling surfaces for the purpose of transferring liquid from one to the other comprises swing levers arranged at opposite sides of the mechanism and provided with bearings in which spindle ends of, or trunnions on, the said roller are rotatable, the swing lever at at least one end of the roller being mounted on a carrier part in relation to which said lever is adjustable by means of two separate eccentrics which are individually turnable respectively to set the roller on to the two surfaces with which it is to co-operate.  A roller 3 for transferring liquid from a drum 1 to a cylinder 4 is mounted at each end on a swing lever, the swing lever 6 at one end comprising two arms 6a, 6b.  A carrier part 7 is mounted on a fixed side frame by a pivot-pin 15.  Near the free end of the arm 6b, the lever 6 has a circular hole in which is mounted to turn an eccentric 8 having an integral adjusting knob 9.  The eccentric is supported around a pin 10 which is threaded into the carrier part 7.  Rotation of the eccentric 8 adjusts the roller 3 with respect to the drum 1. The other end of the arm 6b is forked and within the fork is slidable a square block 17 between the back of which and the carrier part 7 is a circular spacer, the block and spacer having coaxial circular holes in which is rotatable a second eccentric 19 about a pin 20 set in the carrier part 7.  Rotation of the eccentric 19 adjusts the roller 3 with respect to the cylinder 4.  The eccentric 19 has an integral knob 22 provided with a scale co-operating with a fixed index on the lever 6, or the scale may be on the lever and the index on the knob. To increase the range of adjustment of the roller, the pin 20 may be accommodated in a lateral slot 7c in the carrier part 7 and initially adjusted therealong and secured by a wing-nut.  The swing lever at the other end of the roller may also be mounted on a similar carrier part, in which case it may be individually adjusted relative thereto by two further eccentrics, or the movement caused by the eccentrics 8, 19 may be transmitted by any suitable mechanical means to the other swing lever.  A similar mechanism is provided as shown to adjust a second roller 2, the different diameter of which necessitates the corresponding swing lever to have a different shape. The inner ends of the two swing levers are scarf-jointed, forked at 25, and have fitted in the forks separate square blocks 26 engaged by a common eccentric 27 arranged to turn about a stud 28 threaded into the side frame. The eccentric 27 has an operating knob 29 by which it is turnable to throw the rollers 3 and 2 off the drum 1 and cylinder 4 simultaneously.

Title: Motor control circuit
Inventor: PEARS DAVID ASLEY
IPC: G11B15/43
Filed: 1965-02-04
Abstract: 1,043,491. Automatic tension control. MINNESOTA MINING & MANUFACTURING CO. Feb. 4. 1965, No. 4963/65. Heading G3R. In a system for controlling the tension of a magnetic tape, an oscillator 10 supplies a differential transformer 11 associated with a movable vane whereby the output signal of the transformer undergoes a change of phase when the tension passes from below a desired value to above that value. The output signal passes to an A.C. amplifier 12 which is biased to produce a signal having a single polarity despite deviations in tension from the desired value. A phase detector 13 compares signals from the amplifier 12 and the oscillator 10 to afford a unipolar direct voltage having a magnitude directly dependent upon the tension of the tape. This D.C. signal is applied to a differential amplifier 14 producing V-shaped characteristic signals of equal amplitude for corresponding deviations in tension on opposite sides of the desired value. These signals then pass through a D.C. amplifier 15 which biases the signals to locate the vertex of the characteristic at a reference potential. The output of the amplifier 15 is applied to reversing relay 17. The output of phase detector 13 is also applied to relay amplifier 16 which operates the relay in one direction or the other in accordance with the magnitude of the D.C. signal. The reversing relay is connected in circuit with motor 304 which drives a pay-out reel in a direction and at a speed to maintain the tension constant at the desired value. The tape-tension at the takeup reel may be controlled in a similar manner. Another arrangement comprises a photo-sensitive detector in which a movable vane is subjected to tape-tension and controls the amount of light received by two photo-cells.

Title: Method for the Production of Bicomponent Filaments or Fibres.
IPC: D01F8/14
Filed: 1968-02-01
Abstract: 1,167,109. Conjugate filaments. CHEMIEFASER LENZING A.G. 1 Feb., 1968 [3 Feb., 1967], No. 5279/68. Heading B5B. Bicomponent filaments or fibres having a high mechanical crimping stability are made by jointly spinning two different thermoplastic fibre-forming synthetic materials through the same spinning nozzles and subsequently drawing, and if desired, setting the filaments, wherein one component consists of a polyester, a polyamide, a polyesteramide, or a blend of a polyester and a polyamide having a polyamide content of 5 to 20% by weight, and the other component consists of a polyesteramide or a blend of a polyester and a polyamide containing 5 to 20% by weight of the structural units prevailing in the first component. Mechanical crimping stability is defined as the ratio between the degree of crimping after exerting stress on the filament and the degree of crimping prior to stressing, expressed as a percentage. Setting the drawn filaments may be effected by heat treatment with hot air or wet steam, or exposure to media effecting setting, e.g. methylene chloride. The two components are preferably supplied at a proportion of 50: 50% by weight; the proportion of the polyamide may, however, be varied from 20: 80% by weight. Preferred polyamides are polyhexamethylene diamine adipate, polycaprolactam, polyamino undecylate or polyamino dodecylate; preferred polyesters include polyethylene terephthalate, polyethylene terephthalate / isophthalate copolyester or polypara-dimethylol cyclohexyl terephthalate; and combinations of the structural units of the above-mentioned polyamides or polyesters are used as polyester-amides. Spinning is effected in known manner, using a spinneret suitable for the production of conjugate filaments, and the filaments are drawn and set. A predetermined stress may be applied during setting of the filaments, in order to obtain a predetermined crimping value. In Example 1, the first component is polyethylene terephthalate and the second component is a polyesteramide consisting of 90% by weight of polyhexamethylene diamine adipate and 10% by weight of polyethylene terephthalate. After melt-spinning to produce side-by-side conjugate filaments drawing is effected using a heated snubbing pin at 75‹ C. and an arcuate heater at 160‹ C. Draw ratios of 1: 4 to 1: 5 are used. Setting is effected in wet steam at 130‹ C. In Example 2, component 1 is polycaprolactam and component 2 is a polyesteramide consisting of 90% polyethylene terephthalate and 10% polycaprolactam. Example 3 gives a further polymer combination. Drawing and heat setting are effected as in Example 1.
