Title: Tool for baring circuit wires and for positioning the bared wires on connecting lugs
IPC: H01R43/00
Filed: 1962-04-10
Abstract: 1,001,557. Pliers. C.I.T. COMPAGNIE INDUSTRIELLE DES TELECOMMUNICATIONS. April 10, 1962 [April 13, 1961], No. 13857/62. Heading B4W. [Also in Division H2] A device for stripping a wire and bending it over a connector lug when the device is pushed over the lug as described in the French Specification 1,260,144 and U.S.A. Specification 3,110,329 is improved by the use of a member which both guides and supports the connector lug and which is slidably mounted on the tool which may be in the form of a pistol having a handle 8 and lever 9 constituting the trigger. In one embodiment the member consists of a slidable rod 5 upon which is mounted a V-shaped block containing a slot which supports the lug. When the tool is pushed towards the bore of the lug the lug slides in the slot 10 until the block 4 abuts the base when the guide member and lug slide together so pushing the lug into the recess in the tool. The lug is thereby given support at both ends. Further movement of the tool causes the wire on the lug to enter the baring device so stripping the insulation. The slide rod 5 is returned to its previous position by the spring 18. In a further embodiment the guide member is U-shaped to allow the wires to run down the side of the lug to its foot inside the guide member.

Abstract: 177,434. Healy, J. A. May 18, 1921. Amusement apparatus.-Relates to amusement apparatus of the type. in which passenger tubs move in an irregular manner over a prescribed route. According to the invention, two or more rotatable annular platforms A, and intermediate travelling platforms B are provided, upon which the passenger cars C, mounted on castors, move freely. Stationary plates F bridge the gaps between the annular platforms A and the travelling bands B. The undersides of the platforms are provided with depending flanges a which rest upon and travel over grooved rollers a<1>. For the middle flange intermediate rollers a<11> also are provided. By means of the annular rack a<3>, driving-pinion, and other gearing, motion is transferred from the motor M to the platforms and al o by gearing p<3>, shafting g<1>, and sprocket-wheels g<2> to the travelling platforms B. The passenger-tubs C, preferably of circular form, are constructed with buffers for contact with other tubs and with the guard-rails r, r. Impact due to contact cause the cars to rotate upon their castors and to receive varying and independent movements. The speed of the rotatable platforms and the transfer intermediate platforms may be differentiated.

[Class 80 (ii)] Apparatus for starting, stopping and driving a machine at any speed within limits at will, comprises driving and driven members 22, 32, mounted on a fixed shaft 16 and having engageable friction surfaces 26, 28. A braking surface 96 is supported by a bracket 12. The driven member 32 has a hub 40 on which a sleeve 42 can slide. The members 32, 42 rotate together. Axial movement of the sleeve 42 is controlled by a rod 70 which passes through the hollow shaft 16 and is connected through a lever 84 to a tension spring 92 and treadle rod 88. Weighted arms 48 pivoted to the sleeve 42 have cam surfaces 52 engageable with a radial face 54 on the driven member 32. A spring 56 tends to move the clutch surfaces into engagement. The spring 92 is stronger than the spring 56 so that when the treadle lever 88 is released the brake 96 holds the member 32 stationary. Upon depression of the treadle lever 88 the sleeve 42 is free to move to the right and the spring 56 moves the member 32 to engage the clutch surfaces 26, 28 and rotate the driven member 32. The weighted levers 48 are then subjected to centrifugal force and the cam surfaces 52 bear on the radial face 54. At a speed dependent upon the position of the rod 70 the cam surfaces 52 press on the face 54 and relieve the pressure between the friction surfaces 26, 28 to keep the speed of the driven member 32 constant.

Abstract: 631,978. Mixing valves. DELOYE, J. L. June 9, 1947, No. 15126. Convention date, July 30, 1946. [Class 135] A mixing faucet, e.g. for hot and cold water, of the type wherein a valve having a stem 10, a disc 6 and a body 5 is adapted for rotary and axial movement, is characterized by the combination of a manually-actuated toggle mechanism for operating the valve. The valve rotates and slides axially in a pot 2 and comprises a semi-cylindrical portion 5a and a cylindrical portion 5b controlling two opposite inlets, one of which, 3a, is shown. On turning the knob 20 the screw 19, having two oppositely threaded portions, moves the slides 17, 18 apart and through the toggle-links 16 lifts the disc 6 from its seat 7 and brings the portion 5a on a level with the inlets. The toggle mechanism is enclosed in a box 13 able to rotate about a vertical axis by means of the flange 13b engaging under the shoulder 12b on the faucet casing, so that by moving the knob 20 in a horizontal circle, the portion 5a varies the opening of the inlets.
