Title: Valve arrangement for the control of pneumatically actuated electric devices
IPC: F16K31/42
Filed: 1961-08-17
Abstract: 1,001,102. Valves. ELEKTROTECHNICKE ZAVODY JULIA FUCIKA N.P. Aug. 17, 1961 [Aug. 17, 1960], No. 29749/61. Heading F2V. [Also in Division H2] A valve arrangement for the control of pneumatically actuated piston-and-cylinder devices 17 comprises a plurality of actuating valves each fitted with an operating mechanism 7, 8, a common supply valve 10 in a feed line 15 operated by any one of the operating mechanisms, each actuating valve comprising a piston movable in a body 1 and having a projection 2<SP>1</SP> incorporating an exhaust port 5, an inlet port 25 in the body and an outlet port 16 for connection with one of the devices, the piston being urged to an inoperative position by a spring 4 whereby compressed air entering the inlet port acts upon the piston and moves it to a working position in which air passes through the outlet port or to a blocking position in which the outlet port is in communication with the exhaust port, in dependence upon whether or not the operating means specifically associated with the valve was actuated to open the supply valve. The piston 3 co-operates with a seat 18 formed in the valve body 1 and is connected on one side to a source of pressurized air via the pipe 15 and the common supply valve 10 and, on the other side, with a piston- and-cylinder arrangement 17 connected to some form of electrical apparatus. In the normal inoperative position of the valve the piston end 3 of the piston rests on the valve body under the action of a spring 4, the piston-and-cylinder device communicating with atmosphere via the exhaust port 5 in the projection 2<SP>1</SP>. To operate the valve, a slide 7 is moved to the position shown in Fig. 2 by a push-button 12 and, at the same time, contacts 9 are made which energize the solenoid 19 and so actuate the supply valve 10. Compressed air is then fed via pipe 15, chamber 6 and pipe 16 to the piston- and-cylinder 17, the port 5 being closed by the end of the projection abutting the plate 7. During operation, in order that only one valve and its associated piston-and-cylinder 17 may be actuated, the other valves are locked by means of the projection entering a hole formed in the plate 7, the valve then closing off the pipe 16 from the supply pipe 15 and, at the same time, preventing further actuation of the push-button 12, thereby causing the contacts 9 to be made. The plate 7 may also be operated by a solenoid 13. In a modification, Fig. 6, a pivoted latch arrangement 21 is provided to prevent actuation of any other valve and its associated piston-and-cylinder device unless it is particularly selected.

Abstract: 240,331. M÷ller, C. Dec. 11, 1924. Hopper wagons.-In a hopper wagon of the kind in which the bottom is divided longitudinally into two portions adapted to open either by a pivotal or a sliding movement, each portion is divided transversely into a number of sections or flaps 8, 8<1>, 9, 9<1>, 10, 10<1> ..., which constitute a lower floor and each of which can be operated independently of all the other sections, in combination with a longitudinally divided upper floor, which may cover the lower floor. In the construction shown, the sections 8, 8<1> ... are hinged to a central member 5, to which are also hinged bottom parts 7, 7<1> forming part of the upper floor and adapted to convert the hopper wagon into an ordinary wagon for carrying piecegoods. Each section 8, 8<1> is provided with spring-controlled locking-bolts 12, 12<1>, the bolts for two corresponding sections such as 8, 8' being connected by wires 16, 16<1> to a common sliding-member 17 which is moved transversely to one side or the other by a lever 21 mounted on a rotary operating-shaft 22. The levers 21 are so spaced apart that only one at a time can be in engagement with its corresponding slide 17, the shaft 22 being movable longitudinally so as to cause the levers 21 successively to engage with the slides. In order to control the amount of the longitudinal movement of the shaft 22, it is fitted with a handle 24 and with a pawl or semicircular disc 26 adapted to co-operate with notches in two racks 23, 23<1> mounted on the underframe.

Title: Device for stamping articles or packages of various kinds

Abstract: 424,947. Printing. ELVEY, S., 61, Royal Road, Kennington, London. Oct. 18, 1934, No. 29896. [Class 100 (ii)] Platen machines; printing on curved surfaces.- A device for stamping articles such as labels on bottles comprises means to permit the device to be fixed to a support, for example, a shop counter, and a stamp which is movable from an inoperative position to a stamping position solely by pressure exerted on the article to be stamped ; the pressure on the article may effect relative movement between the stamp and an inking pad or roller normally in contact therewith. In one form, a handstamp of the self-inking turnover type is attached to brackets 10 whereby it may be fixed to a support 11 so that the stamp is vertical. A bottle 25 to be stamped is pressed against a yoke 16 having side members 19, 20 cut away at 26 to suit the contour of the bottle, and a stamp 15 pivoted at 14 to the main frame of the stamp and normally resting against an ink-pad 18 is turned over into stamping position owing to the engagement of pins 22 with cam slots 23 in lugs 24 on the stamp. To facilitate inking the pad 18, a catch may be provided for holding the stamp in a position other than the normal position. In another form, (not shown), an inking- roller normally in contact with a stationary stamp is moved across the face of the stamp and an ink-pad by pressure against a spring controlled buffer, and in a modification, Fig. 5, (not shown), the stamp when in an intermediate position wipes over an inking-roller in contact with an ink-pad. Printing-surfaces,-The stamp consists of a rubber strip 34 stretched across a concave base to permit the stamp to accommodate itself to bottles of different diameters.

Title: Spindle for tightening tubular roller shells
IPC: B41F27/10
Filed: 1963-07-29
Abstract: 966,477. Rollers; securing rollers to spindles. R. KAUSCHKA. July 29, 1963 [July 28, 1962], No. 29974/63. Heading F2U. A roller shell 13 is clamped to a spindle 1 by rings 3 expanded into engagement with the shell by conical rings 2 under the influence of springs 4, and the rings 2 are retracted to allow contraction of the rings 3 to release the roller shell by fluid (air or liquid) pressure admitted through passages 10, 11 in the spindle to annular chambers 12 and acting on the conical rings 2 by way of intermediate rings 8. Each chamber 12 is bounded by sealing rings 6 and intermediate rings 8, the outermost rings 8 on the spindle being retained axially by rings 9, and spacer sleeves 7<SP>1</SP>, 5, 7 being provided to position the outermost intermediate rings 8 and the expanding rings 3 axially on the spindle. The rings 8 other than the outermost pair are formed with radial projections 8<SP>1</SP> located in recesses 7111 in the spacer sleeves 7, 7<SP>1</SP> so that the end wall 7<SP>11</SP> of the recess limits movement of the intermediate rings 8 when pressure is released in the chambers 12. In order to positively contract the rings 3 when pressure is admitted to the chambers 12 the rings 8 and the expanding rings 3 may be provided with conical surfaces 14. If the diameter of the spindle is relatively small the rings 3 may be made of highly resilient material, or they may be grooved to form laminµ 16 thereby increasing the resilience. Relative axial movement between the spindle and the roller, caused by bending of the spindle or roller shell, can be absorbed by a resilient deformation of the expanding rings without the expanding rings sliding on the inner wall of the roller shell. Alternatively the inner surface of the end rings 2 may be slightly convex or a loose fit on the spindle to permit relative movement between the spindle and shell. Specification 929,081 is referred to.
