Title: Installation for automatically changing disk-like sound carriers such as records in sound recorders or reproducers especially automatic phonographs
IPC: G11B17/14
Filed: 1956-10-03
Abstract: 796,946. Gramophones., WIEGANDT, K., and WIEGANDT, W. Oct. 3, 1956 [Oct. 5, 1955 ; Feb. 15, 1956], No. 30154/56. Class 40 (2). A phonograph comprises an electromagnetic selector 6, 7 of known type, guide means 4, 5 for the tone arm 8 and a motor 10 which drives the disc-supporting spindle 12 and a cam column 19 through gear trains 11, 18, respectively. When the selector is operated it closes a switch 56 and energizes the motor, whereby the shaft 12 is rotated and a spindle 14, together with a feeler device 15, 16, 151 is lifted. As the lever 151 engages the slide displaced by the selector it is pivoted against the action of a spring 153 and then influenced by said spring to return the slide to its initial position. When the slide is re-positioned the switch 56 is opened and a switch 57 is closed by a cam 58 to maintain the motor energized. Simultaneously, a pawl 23 is released whereby a column 27, a crank 26, a lever 25 and a slide 21 are moved by a spring 22 to open a clutch 13. The spindle 14 and the tone arm are now brought into the requisite alignment and a cam 33 is then actuated to lift a rod 34 and urge retaining members 40 into engagement with the hub of the record. Next a tube 36 is retracted together with its associated records by means of control shafts 32, 35 and the lever 151 is returned to its initial position. A shaft 52 is next rotated by a cam 51 whereby the tone arm is fed into the space between the two stacks of records by a lever 54 and then urged against the record to be played by a lever 55. At the end of play the tone arm operates a switch 59 whereby the shaft 27 is rotated to return the member 21 to its former position; the gear 18 being thus engaged and the cam 51 operated to re-position the tone arm. A cam 29 now moves the tube 36 to re-pack the stack of records whilst the rod 34 is lowered by the cam 33 to release the members 40. Finally the slide 21 is moved into its neutral position by the cam 24 and thus the gears 18 are stopped and the clutch 13 re-positioned, the cam 58 opening the switch 57 to stop the motor. In a modification, Fig. 3 (not shown), the lower stack of records are supported by a spring and the uppermost stack of records are acted upon by a disc spring. In a further modification,. Fig. 7 (not shown), the tube 36 is dispensed with and the rod 34 lifts the record engaged by the elements 40 upwardly together with the records stacked above same, the uppermost stack being lifted against the action of a spring whilst the lowermost stack remains in the same position on the turntable.

Two-barrel carburetter 14 includes a secondary section 22 having a secondary Venturi 26, fuel nozzle 28 and secondary throttle valve 30. Adjacent secondary section 22 is supplemental fuel jet 34 which receives fuel through passage 36 from float chamber 38. Supplemental air is admitted through jet 44 and the mixture fed to chamber 50. Normally-open solenoid-operated valve 54 controls the flow of mixture to tube 48 which is inside intake manifold 12 and extends to portions of the intake passages immediately upstream of the intake ports of cylinders C 3  and C 4  of engine 10. Valve 54 is closed by signals from control circuit 56 which receives electrical signals from sensors 58, engine load; 60, engine speed; 62, engine temperature; 64, reactor temperature; and 66, vehicle speed. The supply of supplemental fuel may also be terminated solely in response to the speed of a vehicle, in which the engine is fitted, exceeding a predetermined value. In a modification Fig. 4 (not shown) the tube 48 is outside the manifold and leads through a chamber heated by engine coolant or exhaust gases before entering the manifold and extending to the intake ports of cylinders C 3  and C 4 .

Title: Improvements in or relating to process and apparatus for coating paper and the improved products produced thereby
IPC: D21H23/58
Filed: 1935-11-01
Abstract: <PICT:0456938/III/1> A process of applying, to a sheet of paper, a smooth coating of a lacquer having a critical viscosity range, i.e. one in which the viscosity-concentration relationship is such that a small change in concentration produces a great change in viscosity, comprises delivering a film of the lacquer to an applicator roll, moving the paper across the surface of the roll, and rotating said applicator roll in the direction of travel of the sheet at a lineal speed less than the lineal speed of the sheet whereby the lacquer film is sheared from the applicator roll at a rate sufficient to overcome the tendency of the lacquer coating to form ridges or flow lines on the sheet as it is being transferred.  Suitable apparatus for carrying out the process is shown, and comprises a rotatable cylinder 11, carrying a sheet of paper 10 fed from a stack 33, an applicator roll 12 having a yieldable facing and rotating in lacquer 13, a doctor roll 15, a lacquer circulating pump 35, and a drying oven 31 for the coated sheets.  The cylinder 11 is driven from the shaft 17 through gears 16, 18, and the applicator roll 12 is driven from the same shaft through an infinitely variable gear 23 provided with a ratio change lever 28. The doctor roll 15 may be fixed, or may be rotated by gearing from the applicator roll or from the shaft 17. The applicator roll should be rotated at a lineal speed less than the lineal speed of the paper and below that at which ridges or flow lines are formed in the lacquer coating, but above that at which the applied film becomes broken.  It is found that cellulose lacquers varying in viscosity from 25--900 centipoises can be satisfactorily applied to paper and paper-board, and that, with such lacquers, the film applied to the applicator roll by the doctor roll should not, in general, exceed ,004 inch in thickness, while the speed of the applicator roll should be from 90--29 per cent of the speed of the paper.  The paper may be in the form of separate sheets or in roll form, and in the latter case may be mechanically and continuously fed through the machine at a speed as high as 600--800 feet per minute.

[Classes 4 and 114.] Automatic steering gears for dirigible craft having a compass such as a gyro compass for controlling the steering-gear include contact members comprising contact rings and trolleys, the rings being concentric and having live and dead spaces so that adjustment of the relative positions of the rings provides for a variation of the dead space. A repeater motor 10 actuated from a master gyroscopic compass through gearing 11, 12 actuates the contact differential 15, the shaft 16 of which is adapted to move the trolleys T, T<1>. These trolleys are pressed by a spring S into engagement with contact rings A, B, A<1>, B<1>, these rings being subdivided by insulation segments 21, 22 and they are mounted in parallel planes on the same axis. For varying the effective width of the dead portion Z the contact rings A, B, A<1>, B<1> are mounted upon carriages C, C<1> provided with annular gears 58, 59 which can be moved in opposite directions by a hand-wheel 60 operating through suitable gears. In order to cause the trolleys to act with a follow-up motion there is interposed a differential 17 driven by a rack and pinion gear 30 from a lever system pivoted at 52, an arm 51 of which being adjustably connected with and adapted to be rocked by a lever 50 on a shaft coupled to the shaft 32 of the rudder motor M. This coupling provides for lost motion by reason of cone-engagement 34, 33, the extent of engagement being controlled by a cam member 41 from a hand-setting device 42. For setting a new course a hand-wheel W is connected by gearing 43, 44 with a primary differential 15. A reading of the course is provided on a dial 75 by a pointer 85 operated through reduction gear 76, 77 from the repeater motor 10.
