Abstract: 671,978. Knitted fabrics. LOMBARDI, V. Dec. 20, 1949, No. 32574/49. Class 74 (ii). A fabric is composed of stripes of wrap knitted yarn, the stripes being joined by the yarn of one stripe interengaging without knitting with loops of an adjacent stripe. The method is applicable to diagonal as well as vertical joints. One side of each stripe may have loops 41, Fig. 11, engaged between sides of loops of the adjacent stripe, or an inelastic yarn 100 of one stripe may extend across several wales of the adjacent stripe of elastic yarn 102 and be engaged between the sides of alternate loops. Two stripes of elastic yarn 102, 103 joined by loops 41, may be additionally reinforced by inelastic yarn 101 being interengaged across the joint. Stripes may be joined by the yarn of one being alternately interengaged with several wales of another, Fig. 9. A loop of yarn 58 of one stripe H may engage the selvedge of an adjacent stripe I and a loop of yarn 57 of the stripe I engage the selvedge of the stripe H alternately, Fig. 7. A yarn of one stripe may be knit after its traverse in one direction, engage the selvedge of an adjacent stripe and be left unknitted for interengaging the following knitted row of the first stripe after its traverse in the other direction, Fig. 14. Button hole effects may be produced by leaving opposite rows of adjacent stripes unjoined. U.S.A. Specification 1,541,230 is referred to.

Title: Improvements in fountain pens
IPC: B43K5/16
Filed: 1930-10-31
Abstract: 359,230. Reservoir pens. VIVIAN, G. S., 237, Norbury Crescent, Norbury, London, and FORD, Ltd., T. B., Loudwater, High Wycombe, Buckinghamshire. Oct. 31, 1930, No. 32778. [Class 146 (iii).] In a nib-retracting reservoir pen, the retracting-mechanism acts also for self-filling purposes. The feed-bar 4 is provided with a short cylindrical chamber 15 in which is slidable the end of a tube 12, disconnection of the two parts being prevented by a nut 16 on the feedbar and a flange on the tube 12. Mounted on the inner end of the feed-bar is a piston 18 slidable between limits imposed by a stop 24 on the tube 12 and the end of the nib-holder 5. The tube 12 is formed at its rear end with a pin 11 extending into a longitudinal slot in a fixed sleeve 9 through a helical slot in a tube 8 rotatable by means of a head 6 on the end of the barrel. Rotation of the head, when the parts are in the position shown in Fig. 3, results in the retraction of the nib, through the engagement of the flange on the tube 12 with the nut 16, until valve seats on the nib-holder 5 and piston engage, when the piston is also retracted. Any air trapped behind the piston is forced through an aperture 22 into the tube 12, and thence through the chamber 15 and a passage 23. On the return movement, the tube slides relatively to the feed-bar until its front end engages the end of the chamber 15, when it moves the nib-holder away from the piston and uncovers a passage 17 therethrough. The stop 24 then feeds the piston forward, and ink can be drawn into the barrel through the passage 17. In normal use, ink flows to the nib through the passage 17, and air passes up through the tube and aperture 22. The aperture 22 is in such a position that ink cannot flow therethrough, and when the nib is retracted escape of ink is prevented by the engagement of the valve surfaces on the piston and nib-holder.

Title: Method of and apparatus for producing a ring gear and support assembly
IPC: C21D9/32
Filed: 1973-07-10
Abstract: 1398232 Making toothed gears; shrink fitting PARK-OHIO INDUSTRIES Inc 10 July 1973 [20 July 1972] 32940/73 Headings B3A and B3V [Also in Division B8] Ring-gears are hardened, tempered and shrink-fitted on circular supports, e.g. I.C. engine flywheels, by rotating and inductively heating a gear above its hardening temperature by an H.F. inductor at one station, quenching the gear, moving it to another station where a transformer core is placed around its cross-section, energizing the core with a L.F. current until the gear is heated to a temperature substantially below the hardening temperature, removing the core, fitting the gear on the support while still hot and cooling it to shrink the gear on the support. Preferred temperatures are 1700-2000 F. for hardening, 700-1100 F. for tempering and not below 500 F. for fitting. In apparatus for carrying out the process, gears D, Fig. 1, are fed by a conveyer E from a stock at station I to the hardening station II and then to the tempering station III. A conveyer F, Fig. 8, advances the gear to the fitting station IV where it meets a flywheel C fed to the station by a conveyer H. The assembled gear and flywheel is removed by a conveyer G to a roller table J, the driven rolls 230 of which discharge the assembly. The first conveyer E is a shuttle 100, Fig. 2, operated by a cylinder 130 and having a recess 110 for advancing the gears to station II and a fence 112 for advancing them between stations II and III. Conveyer F is a U-shaped electrically conductive or non-conductive housing 90, Fig. 6A, traversed along rails 160, 162 by a cylinder 170, and conveyer G is a cylinder 182. Conveyer H, Fig. 7, is a rod 202 having pins 200 for engaging the flywheels C. The rod is supported on cams 210, 212, 214, 216 which are turned to free the pins 200 from the flywheels for a return stroke of the rod. At station II an internal chuck 42 grips a gear D and raises it within the H.F. inductor 20 in which it is rotated by a motor 46. After interrupting the heater supply the gear is quenched by liquid directed through holes 32 in a ring 30. At station III the gear is supported in the housing 90 as its cross-section is surrounded by the laminated core 62, 64 of a transformer, the upper part 64 of which is movable by a cylinder 70. L.F. current is then connected to a winding 80 on one part of the core to effect inductive heating and tempering of the gear D. At station IV a work-holder 140 with magnetic or electromagnetic pins 142 and operated by a cylinder 144 lifts the hot gear D out of the housing 90 and lowers it over a flywheel C where it is cooled by jets 154.

Title: Device for shaking electrodes of an electrostatic precipitator
IPC: B03C3/76
Filed: 1956-10-29
Abstract: 844,693. Electrostatic precipitation. WALTHER & CIE. A.G. Oct. 29, 1956 [Nov. 3, 1955(2)], No. 32981/56. Class 39(1). The collecting electrodes of an electrostatic precipitator are rapped by lifting one electrode, or a group of electrodes, and then allowing the electrode, or group of electrodes, to fall so that energy is transmitted to other electrodes by the striking of suspension means against the suspension means of another electrode, or group of electrodes, springs being interposed between the casing and the various suspension means. The electrode 1, Fig. 2, is lifted by wires 4 passing over pulleys, or by mechanisms, Figs. 4 and 7, including lifting levers 16. In Fig. 2, the wires 4 carry spring plates 8 so that when electrode 1 is lifted and released, spring 9 is compressed, and vibration is transmitted by the beams 10 to the spring plates 11 and supporting rods 13 of electrodes 2 and 3. Springs 12 surrounding the rods 13 bear on the supporting structure 14. All the springs can be so tuned that the electrodes are mutually excited into vibrations with different frequencies. In Fig. 4, the lifting lever 16 which is carried by a shaft 18 so as to be free to turn on the shaft within certain limits, presses a roller 15 at its free end against a member 19 which is pivoted at 20 on a support member 21 of the electrode. The other end of the member 19 bears against a screw 22. As the shaft 18 rotates, the member 21 is raised and then suddenly released when the lever 16 springs forward on account of its freedom of motion. Alternatively, instead of having a screw 22, the height of lift may be varied by adjustment of the rollers 15 on the lever 16. Fig. 6 shows a contact-member 27, rotatable within limits about the pivot 26, in place of the roller 15 of Fig. 4. In Fig. 7, the lever 16 with roller 15, or with a contact member, engages a supporting member 28 which is pivoted at 29 to the electrode support member 21. The lever 16 presses the supporting member 28 against a stop 30 where the actual lift begins. In this embodiment freedom of movement is given to the member 28 instead of to the lever 16. Links 32 guide the member 21.
