Abstract: 807,937. Stapling machines. ELASTIC AKTIENGESELLSCHAFT VORM M. VOGEL A. G. Nov. 7, 1956, No. 34046/56. Class 89(3) In a stapling machine, wherein a staple driver 18 performs the staple driving operation under influence of a bar spring 16, a star wheel 11 is provided which is rotated by actuation of the operating lever 3 so that one of the arms of the star wheel 11 engages on abutment 15 on the spring 16 and raises the free end of the spring 16 until, at substantially the end of the actuating movement of the lever 3, the star wheel arm disengages from the abutment 15 to release the spring 16 so that the driver 18 is carried thereby performs a staple driving operation. The operating mechanism for the star wheel comprises a ratchet wheel 10 engaged by a pawl 8 carried by a cranked lever pivoted at 25 to the housing 2 and carrying a roller at its free end engaged by the operating lever 3. As described, two star wheels 11 are provided on a rotatable pin 13, each associated with a ratchet wheel 10 and enclosing between them a buffer cylinder 14. The pawl 8 is shaped to engage each of the ratchet wheels 10 and the spring 16 is adapted to pass between the star wheels 11 so that it can engage the buffer cylinder 14. The block 15 comprises two rollers 17 each associated with one of the star wheels 11. During the downward stroke of the driver 18, an element (not shown) carried thereby, engages a nose 31 on a toothed rail 30 which is consequently moved rearwardly against a spring 32 which subsequently causes forward movement of the rail 30 on the upward stroke of the driver 18. The teeth 37 of the rail 30 engage a tongue 39 carried by a slide 38 on the staple support, and during the forward movement of the rail 30, the slide is entrained thereby to feed the staples.

Title: Improvements in or relating to method of and apparatus for annealing glassware
IPC: C03B25/06
Filed: 1936-12-11
Abstract: 487,227. Glass - annealing leers. HARTFORD -EMPIRE CO. Dec. 11, 1936, No. 34086. Convention date, Dec. 14, 1935. [Class 51 (ii)] Atmospheres, circulating.-In a continuous annealing-leer a gaseous cooling medium is circulated along a more or less helical path, the velocity of the flow counter-current to the ware being small compared. with the transverse velocity. Forced circulation is employed. over only a small portion of the length of the leer at the delivery end, and is induced by supplying air under pressure from a fan 32 through mains 29, 30 having nozzles 39 with induction coneextensions inclined slightly towards the entrance end of the leer. The nozzles deliver on to inclined. baffles 47, which direct the air currents downwards through the ware on the conveyer belt 8 ; and in the final cooling section extending from the exit to the point 45, Fig. 2, air is admitted directly from the atmosphere through damper-controlled side wall openings 49 adjacent the mains, while a proportion of the circulating air is allowed to escape through openings 56 between the lower edges of the side walls, and a vertically adjustable floor plate 55. Baffles 48 assist the recirculation of the air currents. In the next section of the leer extending between the points 45 and 60, only air from the nozzles 39 is circulated, and withdrawal is effected at the end 60 of the section through a roof conduit 61, which leads to the inlet 24 to the cooling- flues 23. These flues are in communication at a number of points along their length with a fan casing 17, and by manipulation of a damper 65 at the inlet 24 the suction of the fan on the conduit 61 can be varied. As the internal height of the leer chamber is smaller in this section than in the exit section, the mains 29, 30 are flattened as shown in Fig. 7. Air which is not withdrawn through the conduit 61 passes along the leer to about the middle of its length, where, immediately beyond the ends of the flues 23, is a damper-controlled connection to the suction conduit 27. By varying the amount of air supplied through the nozzles 39 and the relative proportions withdrawn at the various points, the drift of atmosphere in the hotter inlet sections of the leer can be controlled.

Title: Improvements in or relating to straight bar knitting machines
Inventor: CHALLENGER FREDERICK RAYMOND
IPC: D04B11/00
Filed: 1969-07-07
Abstract: 1275649 Knitting-machines S A MONK (SUTTON IN ASHFIELD) Ltd 2 July 1970 [7 July 1969] 34166/69 Heading D1C A rib to plain straight-bar machine includes a plurality of groups of loop transfer points which receive loops and are racked for transfer to achieve loop doubling when spaced apart, and which can be closed together while holding loops to eliminate gaps. The points are mounted on the fashioning mechanism but can be raised clear of the needles, when not required. The groups of points 14 are set in blocks 13 frictionally mounted on a rod 12 and spaced by stops 17. The fashioning mechanism is moved sideways while the blocks are spaced as shown, to transfer loops. The loops are then re-engaged and the rod 12 shogged to the right relative to the mechanism by a pneumatic ram to close the groups together against the right hand group, thereby closing the gaps caused by the doublings. The blocks can be respaced by moving rod 12 to the left. In an alternative embodiment a series of point blocks 57 are attached to inter-engaging brackets 59 carried in a box 39 fixed to a bar 40 which can be shogged by the fashioning screws. A further bar 42 selectively displaced relative to the first moves a dust guard plate 64 overlying the back of the blocks and fixed to an end bracket to close these together. The points are provided on either side of the needle bed overlying a quarter of the needle complement. Doubling is achieved in those quarters by transfer, and the gaps created, eliminated by picking up the loops and closing the gaps between the blocks. Doubling is effected in the control quarters by picking up loops on the closed blocks, making a single pitch transfer, then repositioning the blocks inwards by one block width. Finally the gaps thereby created in the outer quarters are closed by raising the loops on spaced groups, closing them together and returning them to the needles.

Title: Improvements in or relating to electrical power supply equipment with standby
Inventor: BENNETT GORDON CHARLES
IPC: H02J9/06
Filed: 1954-11-29
Abstract: 746,268. Standby supply systems. STANDARD TELEPHONES & CABLES, Ltd. Nov. 29, 1954, No. 34581/54. Class 38 (4). In standby supply plant for a load normally supplied from A.C. mains, of the kind wherein a synchronous machine, coupled to a flywheel, normally motors on the mains but becomes clutched to a prime mover upon mains failure so as to start the latter and then to be driven by it to supply the load, the load of the defective mains on the standby plant is removed immediately upon their failure by a static device responsive to reverse power flow arranged to insert impedance between the mains and the synchronous machine. The device may comprise a transformer T1 having its primary winding in series with the mains supply and its secondary winding normally loaded by thyratrons V1, V2 which are caused to conduct by suitably phased firing potentials applied over transformer T2 from a phase-shift circuit R1, C2 energized by a transformer T3 connected across the synchronous machine. The transformer T1 thus normally presents little impedance between the mains and the synchronous machine. On mains failure, however, the phase reversal at the anodes of the thyratrons caused by the machine attempting to supply the defective mains, renders the thyratrons non- conducting, so that the transformer T1 is now an effective impedance to limit current flow into the mains. The voltage developed across a biasing tertiary winding 6, 7 of the transformer also increases to such a value as to maintain the thyratrons blocked. Upon mains restoration, the device acts to effect resynchronization. During normal mains supply, the automatic voltage control system associated with the synchronous machine so controls its excitation (and thus the phase of the votage across an inductance LL-which may be the leakage inductance of transformer T1) as to maintain the outgoing voltage constant.
