Title: Improvements in and relating to the ornamentation of fabrics by means of jewels, stones, patches, spots, buttons and the like
IPC: C21D1/40
Filed: 1926-12-18
Abstract: 285,204. Perlman, N. H., (Modern- Handy Button Machine Co.). Dec. 18, 1926. Ornamenting.-Relates to the ornamentation of fabrics by means of jewels, stones, metal or other patches or spots, buttons, nailheads, &c. A stone L, Fig. 6, is secured to the surface of a fabric bv means of a metal setting N having claws 0, the setting being placed on the opposite side of the fabric from the stone, and the claws passed through the fabric and bent over on to the stone. A press for affixing stones, which may also serve for affixing patches or spots, comprises a cup-shaped die C, Figs. 1 and 2, secured on a base A, and having in alignment with it a plunger E sliding in an arm G. The plunger carries a punch H having a sliding spring- pressed core K, which frictionally supports the setting N. A stone is placed in the die C with the fabric P above it, and the claws of the setting are driven through the fabric by depression of the plunger, and are bent over the stone by the concave surface of the die. In a modification, adapted for settings having imperforate backs, or for metal patches or spots, which may in some cases also serve as setting for stones, the lower end of the punch Q, Fig. 14, is shaped to receive the setting N', which is held in position by a spring-pressed sliding sleeve R.

Title: Digital time displaying electronic timepieces having means for correcting the time displayed
IPC: G04G5/00
Filed: 1974-07-19
Abstract: 1444866 Electronic timepieces SUWA SEIKOSHA KK 19 July 1974 [31 July 1973] 32138/74 Heading G3T A digital electronic timepiece having means for correcting the time displayed and including a plurality of counters successively inter-connected each counting a different unit of time, is provided with a plurality of control circuits each arranged to control the final output from a respective time counter when time correction is being effected whereby to inhibit the carrying forward to the next counter of the corrected time unit count of the immediately preceding counter. In one embodiment, Fig. 2, the control means permits the passing on of normal carry signals but inhibits the passing on of signals produced in the said preceding counter in dependence upon time display correction signals applied thereto. In another embodiment Fig. 4 (not shown), carry signals from one counter to the next are prevented when time display correcting. In Fig. 2 - a quartz crystal controlled oscillator OSC is followed by a frequency divider F o  which produces 1 sec signals; Fs, FM, Fh, Fd are secs, mins, hours and date counters respectively; E s , E m , E h , E d  are correction gates which successively receive correction signals M s , M m , Mh, Md from a source not shown; D o , D s,  D m , Dh are differentiating circuits and R s , R m , Rh are the control circuits. Differentiation signals C o , C s , C m  at outputs of D o , D s , D m  respectively are applied as control signals to the control circuits R s , R m , Rh respectively and control the outputs from counters F s , F m , F h  respectively to regulate the carry signals. For instance, assuming that correcting signal M m  changes the contents of mins counter F m , the carry signal from F m  to the hours counter Fh is differentiated at D m  to give signal C m . The signal C m  is compared with differentiation signal Cs by control circuit R m  (which may be an OR gate or an AND gate) and only the signal having the same phase as C S  is transmitted to correction gate E h . In this way only the carry signal from the counter itself is allowed by R m  to pass to the next counter and the part of the carry signal due to a correction signal is inhibited. Fig. 3 (not shown) illustrates the differentiation signals and control circuits output.

Patent GB-659105-A (GB)
Title: Automatic lathe
IPC: B23B7/04
Filed: 1948-12-14
Abstract: 659,105. Automatic lathes. BECHLER, A. Dec. 14, 1948, No. 32240. Convention date, Jan. 23. [Class 83 (iii)] An automatic lathe has a rotatable tool turret and indexing mechanism including a first clutch, tool holders reciprocable in the turret, mechanism for advancing each tool holder after indexing into its working position, spring means for retracting it, and a second clutch by means of which the advancing mechanism is normally held operative and feeler means adapted to put said first clutch in operation when the previously operated tool carrier returns correctly to its retracted position but operative to put said second clutch out of operation if this is not the case. The tool-turret 3 carrying slidable spring-returned tool-holders 4 is indexed by Geneva wheel mechanism 8, 9 driven by gearing 11, 12, through a one-revolution clutch 13 from a pulley 15. The clutch is controlled by a pin 16 connected by mechanical linkage 36 (broken line) to a rod 34 which can only move upwardly to operate the linkage and clutch when a tool push-rod 21 is completely retracted and a notch 35 is aligned with the top of the rod 34. A main cam-shaft 26 carries a cam-portion 25 for operating a rocker 22 and hence the tool push-rod and tool when positioned in the operative station opposite the spindle 5. This shaft also carries a disc 27 with adjustable dogs 28 equal in number to the number of turret tools and these dogs are adapted in turn to trip a dog 29 on a bell-crank lever 30 pivoted at 31 to the machine frame. Lever 30 carries a secondary lever 61 pivoted at 32 one arm of which engages the lower end of the rod 34 and a stop 33 while the other arm is drawn in an anti-clockwise direction by a spring 64 anchored to the lever 30. On normal retraction of an operative tool-holder, the notch 35 in pushrod 21 aligns with the end of rod 34 which moves upwardly into the notch when lever 30 is rocked by a dog 28, control pin 16 is thus withdrawn and the one-revolution clutch is engaged to effect turret indexing. If the tool jams in the work, however, and the push-rod 21 does not return to its normally retracted position, the rod 34 is prevented from upward movement and rocking of lever 30 produces anti-clockwise rotation of secondary lever 61 against the tension of spring 64. This latter motion is utilized to disengage a clutch in the worm drive 41 to the cam-shaft.

Title: Carburetor
IPC: F02M19/08
Filed: 1961-09-12
Abstract: 970,399. Carburetters. ACF INDUSTRIES Inc. Sept. 12, 1961 [Jan. 30, 1961; March 20, 1961; April 10, 1961], No. 32640/61. Heading F1B. A carburetter comprises a fuel reservoir 36, a cover 38 over the top of the fuel reservoir, a tubular mixture conduit 12 supported by the cover and a bolt 42 extending from the fuel reservoir through the cover and through the tubular conduit normal to the axis thereof, the bolt fixing the cover and the mixture conduit together and including a fuel passage 56 axially therethrough the fuel passage including a first port 58 opening into the fuel reservoir and a second port 60 opening into the mixture conduit. The choke valve is closed by rotating the control lever 128 to its farthest position to the right as viewed in Fig. 2. This may be done by means of the manual lever 138 or the Bowden cable 142. The control lever 128 in this position also holds the throttle valve in wide open position by its connection to the throttle lever 84 through the arm 134 and spring 136. Upon starting of the engine the control lever is then moved clockwise to a first intermediate position. High speed operation of the engine will cause the engine governor through wire 150 and throttle lever 84 to move throttle 76 to a more closed position. Movement of the control lever 128 from its choke or start position to the first intermediate position releases the end 146 of the spring 143 so that under the action of the spring 143 the choke lever 74 is rotated clockwise as viewed in Fig. 9 to a full open position in which it is retained during the other control positions of the lever 128. Movement of the control lever 128 to the second intermediate position closes the throttle valve 76. Movement of the control lever 128 to the farthest left position holds the throttle 76 in its closed position and in some modifications one of the arms of the control lever 128 may contact an electrically live terminal of the ignition system to ground the ignition system and stop the engine. The idling system consists of a tube 106 extending into the fuel bowl at one end. An idle port 112 (Fig. 3) is formed through the wall of the conduit 10 to provide passage of idle fuel from the recess 110 through an aperture 115 in the gasket 49 into the mixture conduit 10. Port 113 (Fig. 6) through conduit 10 and an aligned aperture in the gasket 49 into recess 110 provides air flow into the recess 110 to mix with the idle fuel. The needle 64 has a portion 66 threaded into the upper end of the bolt 42 to provide axial movement of the needle 64 in the restriction 62. Adjustment of the needle 64 can be made by use of a screwdriver slot 68. The carburetter structure is made of sheet metal fabricated parts. The invention is applicable to carburetters for small engines adapted for use with lawnmowers or outboard marine engines.

Title: Improvements in or relating to the reduction of metallic ores
IPC: C22B5/00
Filed: 1949-12-20
Abstract: 670,769. Reducing iron and other metallic ores. RUMMEL, R. Dec. 20, 1949 [Dec. 31, 1948]. No. 32665/49. Class 72 and 82(i) In a process for the reduction of metallic ores, in which a solid fuel, the ash of which forms a liquid slag, is subjected in its own slag to destructive distillation and treatment with an exothermic gasifying agent, a part only of the fuel being reacted with the gasifying agent, the ore is introduced into the liquid slag and reduced by the remainder of the fuel, the liquid slag being maintained in undulatory and circulatory movement by the flow energy of the gasifying agents. As shown, a fluid slag body 2a is subjected to an exothermic gasifying agent, e.g. air, oxygen or oxygen enriched air, blown in through nozzles 4, which agent by burning the combustible material in the slag heats the slag which passes through a conduit 12 into the bottom of a second body of slag 2b. There is introduced into the bottom of the upwardly moving body 2b coal and iron ore by a conveyer 3 and also an endothermically reacting gas e.g. steam or carbon dioxide. The iron ore is reduced, the slag, carrying fuel and reduced ore, passes through a conduit 13 into the body 2a of slag and the iron is deposited in a pocket 14a. Part of the slag may be removed continuously or intermittently. The slag may be given a circular movement in a vertical plane, Fig. 1, (not shown), or a horizontal plane, Fig. 8, (not shown) in a single vessel or two vessels, may be used in which the exothermic reaction takes place in upwardly moving slag in one vessel and the endothermic reaction in downwardly moving slag in the other, Fig. 6, (not shown). The two reaction spaces may be separated by a wall ending below the liquid level, the slag passing beneath the wall. The walls'of the vessel may be tubes carrying water which may be converted into steam which may be superheated. The gases from the reactions in the slag bodies may be collected separately. Specification 666,119, [Group XII], is referred to.
