Abstract: 1,236,359. Electric filter elements. SOC. ANON. DE TELECOMMUNICATIONS. 7 April, 1970 [2 May, 1969], No. 16365/70. Heading H1R. An electric filter element comprises a variable inductance 39 and one or more fixed capacitors, 32, 33, 34, disposed inside a metal casing consisting of a metal cap 49 and a metal base-plate 15. The capacitors are insulated from each other and from the inductance by insulating plates 35, 36, 37 and are stacked parallel to the base-plate in an insulating plinth 19. The inductance is held in place, above the capacitors, by flexible lugs 44, 45, 46, 47 of the plinth 19. The components are arranged so that their connecting tags are situated in the immediate vicinity of the external connection pins 16, 17, 18, which are at the corners of the base-plate 15, so that soldered connections can easily be made where required. The external connection pins 16, 17, 18 are insulated from the base-plate by glass beads. The inductance may be altered to the required value by adjusting a screw 52 through the aperture 50 at the top of the casing, the aperture being subsequently closed by welding a metal disk 53 over the aperture. The element may be filled with nitrogen or dry air to prevent any damage due to moisture.

Springs 16, 17 resiliently support the assembly and a finishing chamber 39 attached thereto, on a base structure 12. The finishing 39 chamber is of trough like configuration located in a substantially horizontally oriented configuration. In operation the parts to be finished are located with an abrading material in the chamber and the motor started, the gyratory vibration produced by the out-of-balance weight(s) feeds the parts and material around the trough which in the embodiment is in the form of an annular unit formed as one turn of a helix, the vibration causing the ports to ascend as they move around the annulus. In all embodiments the motor is mounted on the housing for gyratory motion therewith in Fig. 1 the motor is mounted coaxial with the vertical shaft and above the finishing trough with a dog clutch connection to the shaft. In Fig. 3 however the motor 75 is mounted on the side of the housing and is connected to the shaft, at a position spaced axially beyond the bearings, by a belt and pulley drive. It is stated that other forms of known connections may be used. A ramp like gate is used to discharge the parts from the trough as they ascend to the upper regions during the vibratory action the parts arriving on a sieve whereby the material is returned to the trough.

Title: Producing container end-panels
IPC: B21D22/24
Filed: 1985-04-24
Abstract: Method and apparatus for forming or reforming the shell of a two-piece container includes forming a cup shaped member in an upside down condition, reverse drawing the shell to form an over length chuckwall loosely holding the shell while pulling the excess material from the chuckwall into the bottom panel of the shell. The apparatus comprises tooling incorporated into a double acting press and including a punch core carried by the inner ram and an opposed die core carried by the bottom platen, a first pressure member carried by the outer ram and a die core ring fluidly supported on the bottom platen opposed to the pressure member and a punch shell carried on the inner ram. A second fluid pressure sleeve means is carried on the bottom platen in opposed relationship to the punch shell and a knockout piston is also carried by the lower platen opposed to the punch core and encircling the die core. The tooling is arranged such that the first pressure sleeve holds the material against the die core ring under fluid pressure while the punch shell draws the material over the die core ring to preliminarily form the chuckwall. The second pressure sleeve is movable into engagement with the die core ring under pressure from the punch shell so that, as the punch core terminates its travel, holding pressure is reduced as the over length material is pulled into the central area of the end panel.

Abstract: The invention is directed to a papermaking machine in which the wet paper web (5) is supported by the press section felt (6) as it is transferred from the press section (1) to the dryer section (2) of the machine, thereby preventing sagging and possible breakage of the web. According to the invention, the felt (6) is mounted for endless travel and passing around at least a first (9) of said dryer rolls, said felt being unsupported over a substantial distance extending between said press rolls (3, 4) and said first dryer roll (9) and said web being carried on the upper surface of the felt as said felt travels through said distance. As the wet paper web is supported in the draw, sagging and possible breaking of the web is prevented in this area. As thee tendency for breakage is minimized, product loss is minimized and downtime of the machine is correspondingly decreased.
