Title: Improvements in or relating to reels or the like machines for winding yarn or the like into hanks
IPC: B65H54/58
Filed: 1942-03-20
Abstract: 560,863. Reeling yarn &c. GIBSON, W. March 20, 1942, No. 3711. [Class 120 (ii)] In a yarn or like reeling machine, the yarn passes to the rotary reel or swift from yarn guide and drag means which prevent whipping of the yarn as it is laid and traversed on the swift which has dividing means by which the windings are automatically subdivided into cuts or leas, such means being mounted on one of the spars 32, Figs. 2 and 5, of the swift and consisting of a metal channel member 25 divided transversely by spaced cross members 36 each having a sharp dividing edge presented outwards and forming notches, each of which receives a cut and each having a yarn-supporting surface 37a offset from the corresponding surface 37b in the adjacent notch or notches so that adjacent cuts are caused to lie in different planes or to be offset to facilitate the leasing or tieing into hanks. The surfaces 37a of adjacent notches are offset in the direction of rotation of the swift while the alternate surfaces are in alignment to provide a shed 38 through which the leasing cord is passed. The yarn guides 30, which are offset from the supply bobbin in the direction of traverse, are carried by a rail 29 reciprocated in a fixed rail 25, Fig. 3, which carries the supply bobbins 15, a rail 24 fixed to the rail 25 being countersunk to receive the bases of flanged tubular bobbin carriers 68, each of which is mounted on a bobbin spindle 26 so that the base of the bobbin rests on the rail 24 and has a frictional drag imparted thereto. Specification 560,890 is referred to.

Title: Improvements relating to the production of beams of high energy electrons from betatron-started synchrotrons
IPC: H05H11/00
Filed: 1951-02-16
Abstract: 687,696. Magnetic induction accelerators. METROPOLITAN - VICKERS ELECTRICAL CO., Ltd. Feb. 16, 1951 [March 31, 1950], No. 3843/51. Class 39(i) In order to eject a collimated electron beam from a betatron-started synchrotron, the electrons are diverted from the orbit after removal of the accelerating high frequency electric field into spiral paths, and are subjected to an auxiliary electric field correlated with the magnetic guiding field, so that the pitch of the spiral paths is increased. The magnetic guiding field obeys the usual H # 1/r<SP>n</SP> (0 < n < 1) relationship, and the auxiliary electric field is set up in the region where n=l and the electrons are radially unstable. A pair of spaced parallel electrodes 52, 53, Fig. 5, are arranged with their leading edges at the inward edge of the n=1 region, and the lagging edges at a greater radius. The lower electrode 52 is supported between a pair of side members 49 which are spaced apart by stirrups 50, 50<SP>1</SP>, 51 and 51<SP>1</SP>. The stirrups 50<SP>1</SP> and 51<SP>1</SP> carry insulators 54, 55 for supporting the upper electrode 53. The insulators are provided with shielding cups, tops and bottoms. Members 61, 62 at the ends of the structure have openings registering with the ends of the space between the electrodes 52, 53, and serve to space the structure from the envelope wall. The whole structure is supported from the lead-in conductor 44 which makes a press fit with a flange on the electrode 53. In another embodiment, Fig. 12, the high voltage electrode 53 is supported within a channel 104 in a curved insulating member 103, by means of the lead-in conductor 44 which extends through a hole in the insulating member 103 and also supports the insulating member. The other electrode 52 extends across the channel 104, and is held in position by thin wires 107 which extend around the member 103. Shoulders 111, 112 at the ends of the member 103 bear against the envelope wall. An end plate 108 provided with an opening to permit entrance of the electrons is screwed against the end of the member 103. The voltages for the electrodes may be delivered through a transformer from the source exciting the main magnetic windings, or through a current transformer connected in circuit with the magnetic windings, or they may be derived as a pulse from a winding associated with a saturable member which saturates at a. particular value of the magnetic guiding field. The accelerator may also include an X-ray target which may be utilized when the electrons are directed from the orbit into inwardly spiralling paths. Specifications 585,992, 622,148 and 654,373 are referred to.

Title: Improvements in or relating to electrical means for testing the balance of rotating masses
IPC: G01M1/22
Filed: 1941-03-24
Abstract: 549,548. Balancing machines. SCOPHONY, Ltd., and WIKKENHAUSER, G. March 24,1941, No. 3948. [Class 40 (i)] [Also in Group XIX] The part to be tested, for instance, the rotor 1 of an electric motor is supported in bearings 2 in a frame 3 pivoted at one end and mounted in springa 5 at the other end so as to be free to vibrate about an axis 4 at right angles to the axis of rotation. An electrical pick-up P.V. generates an electrical oscillation which is passed through phase-splitting means 7 for producing a circular trace 15 in a cathode ray tube, a break in the trace for determining the phase of the vibration being produced by electro-optical means. The part 7 includes an amplifier as well as the phase splitting means and two oscillations are produced differing in phase by 90‹ which are fed to two pairs of deflector plates 8, 8, 9, 9 of the cathode ray tube. The diameter of the trace 15 is a measure of the amplitude of the vibration of the frame 3. A mark is made on the rotor or on a part rotating therewith and light from a source 10 is reflected from the mark to a photo-electric cell 11. The impulses after amplification at 12 are applied to a modulator 13 to suppress the cathode ray beam and break the trace at one point 14. The position of this break will indicate the phase relationship between the vibration and the mark. A perfectly balanced rotor with a mass at a known position may be used for calibration. Specifications 498,899 and 511,320 are referred to.
Patent GB-396792-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in or relating to the manufacture of artificial filaments and the like
IPC: D01F2/30
Filed: 1932-02-10
Abstract: <PICT:0396792/IV/1> <PICT:0396792/IV/2> <PICT:0396792/IV/3> <PICT:0396792/IV/4> In the dry spinning of artificial filaments two or more than two streams of air &c. are directed against the filaments, in the neighbourhood of their point of extrusion, from different sides at different distances from the spinning nozzle, for example, in the case of two such supplies at points two and four inches respectively from the nozzle.  The air jets may be sufficiently wide to include all the filaments proceeding from the nozzle, for example, they may be of the fish-tail gas burner pattern, so as to project a wide flat stream, or they may be arranged tangential to the bundle of filaments; and they may be directly transverse to the line of travel of the filaments or may be inclined in an upward or downward direction thereto.  The currents of air which are preferably of high velocity, may be created by supplying air under pressure from the outside, or by suction, or by convection while utilizing the heating system of the spinning cells.  The air supplied by the jets may be cold, or it may be heated as by passing the supply pipes through the cells.  To enable access to be gained to the spinning nozzle, the air jets may be removable, or they may be capable of being moved to an inoperative position as by the act of opening the spinning cell door, and the arrangement may be such that movement of the air jet automatically cuts off the air supply.  The supplied air may contain other gases or vapours such as the vapour of the solvent contained in the spinning solution.  The devices may be used alike in apparatus for upward or downward spinning and having a counterflow of evaporative medium or a flow in the same direction as the filaments.  In the form shown in Fig. 1 the air adjacent to the sets of heating pipes 25 at the back and front of the spinning cell is isolated by plates 27 to form chambers terminating in nozzles 28, 29 directed towards the filaments 14 at different levels; the nozzles and plates are hooked on to the heating pipes, an arrangement which facilitates access to the spinning nozzle 13 so that the nozzle 29 nearer to the door 33 may be lowered into the cell the other nozzle 28 being at the same time protected by a cap.  In the form shown in Figs. 4 and 5, additional air is supplied under high pressure through three jets 47, 48, 49 situated at different levels and directed in a tangential manner to the filaments 14; the jets 48, 49 are carried by swivel pipes, and the requisite amount of air is supplied to the jets by means of interchangeable screwed plugs 56, Fig. 6, having apertures 57 of appropriate size, access to the plug being had by means of a screwed cover 59, Figs. 4 and 6.  Specifications 325,233, [Class 2 (ii), Cellulose &c.], 392,218 and 397,114 are referred to.

Abstract: 113,860. Guinness, R. E. C. L., and Richards, E. H. March 21, 1917. Treating land with gases or flame; motor implements; ploughs; cultivators; scrapers for blades; transporting implements.-A machine for comminuting and treating soil in situ by tha application of flame or radiant heat comprises a motor-vehicle A driving a helical agitator C. The agitator is fitted with non-continuous blades in order to break up the soil without transferring it far laterally: A shield E is arranged over and preferably concentric with the agitator C and pivoted plates B adjustable by screws B<1> are arranged at the sides. The interior of the chamber thus formed is heated by any suitable means such as liquid fuel burners F. The speed of the vehicle and the rate of rotation of the agitator C are controlled through a gear box D so that the layer of soil is heated throughout to a temperature of between 80 and 100‹ C. In a modification, the soil turned up by a plough share is broken up by a spiral cutter, and fed into a revolving cylinder, provided with stationary rakes; burners project into the rear part of the cylinder. The depth of soil treated is varied by adjusting the height of the front wheels of the vehicle. To transfer the machine from one field to another, additional larger wheels may be fitted, the machine may be mounted on another framework, or it may be raised sufficiently high on its ordinary wheels. If an internal-combustion engine is used, the hot exhaust gases may be introduced into the heat chamber. In other modifications, the heat may be produced by a jet of gas and air under pressure, or by heat-radiating bodies upon which surface combustion is produced by known methods. Specifications 19255/93 and 12264/94 are referred to.
