Feb. 3, 1915, [Convention date] Cramps and clamps; vices.-An artificial hand comprises two gripping members a, b freely pivoted together by a pin c which also carries pivotally a toothed quadrant d which projects through a slot in the jaw a and is connected thereto by a spring i. Arms m also pivotally mounted on the pin e are pivotally connected at their lower ends to a lever l, Figs. 1 and 4, formed at each side with cam surfaces l<2> to engage the jaw b and centrally with teeth l<1> to engage the quadrant d. The jaw b is moved into contact with the article to be gripped, the lever l is brought up towards the jaw b and is finally turned so that the cams l<2> bear against the jaw while the teeth l<1> engage the quadrant d moving it against the action of the spring i so that the jaws are held together by the stressed spring. The spring pressure employed is variable according to the proximity of the cams to the jaw b at the time the lever is turned. Flat surfaces l<3> on the lever l bear against the jaw b to limit the movement of the lever. The Specification as open to inspection under Sect. 91 (3) (a) indicates also modifications in which one of the jaws is provided with a projection, notch, toothed wheel, or rack and wheels adapted to be engaged by a lever, toothed wheel, or pulley on the other jaw. It is stated that the jaws may be opened or closed by means of a spring and moved in the opposite direction by hand controlled devices and that the spring may be arranged between the jaws or inside one of them. It is also stated that the lever l may be coupled to the jaw b so as to serve to move the jaws apart against the action of the spring i. This subject-matter does not appear in the Specification as accepted.

Abstract: 715,637. Changing display apparatus. ANKERSMIT, K. S. April 1, 1953 [Jan. 25, 1952], No. 2116/52. Class 3(1) [Also in Group XX] A cabinet stereoscope houses a polygonal drum 9 having stereoslide carriers 14 on each circumferential face 13, light-transmitting areas in each such face in register with the stereo image areas, a pair of eyepiece lenses 19 supported by the housing for viewing the images on a face of the drum, a light source 20 within the drum, and means for rotating the drum to bring successive faces into the fields of the viewing lenses. The drum may be of transparent material-glass or synthetic resin-rendered opaque except in the images areas and the light source may rotate with the drum if brush connections are provided, but preferably the drum is mounted on two half axles 10 to the first of which it is fixed and on the second of which it is freely mounted, while the light source is an electric lamp carried in a frame 21 within the drum and secured to the second half axle and freely mounted on the first. As shown, a concave reflector 23 is mounted behind the lamp while between the lamp and the face of the drum in the field of the lenses 19 is disposed a sheet 22 of translucent diffusing material which may be tinted so'that the illumination is of the proper colour for viewing colour slides. Ventilation of the drum is effected by apertures 15 in the end faces and metal mesh panels 3 in the cabinet. By access through the door 29. different slides may be placed in the holders 14, which may be of moulded plastic and comprise a recess closed at one end by an overhanging lip 27, beneath which one end of the slide is pushed, and having a pivoted clamping leaf spring at the other end, and the slide to be viewed is brought opposite the lenses by a knob on the half axle secured to the drum, a spring detent, Fig. 4 (not shown), engaging in one of the slots 16 in the end face of the drum when a slide is in position for viewing. Alternatively the knob may be geared to the drum shaft. The inter-axial distance of the lenses is adjustable through gearing 18 by a lever 17 and the lens-carrying support is movable parallel to the axes through gearing from a second knob. When used as an advertizing display on a shop counter, in order that the salesman may know which slide the customer is viewing, a peep-hole is provided in a side, back, or top panel through which may be seen a mark on the drum indicating which slide is being viewed. Providing the knob is directly secured to the drum shaft the knob itself may carry identification numbers while a panel 4 may carry indicia concerning the images displayed.

Title: Improvements in and relating to machine tools such as grinding machines
IPC: B24B41/06
Filed: 1966-01-18
Abstract: 1,131,521. Grinding. LANDIS TOOL CO. 18 Jan., 1966 [21 Jan., 1965], No. 2213/66. Heading B3D. A machine tool comprises a work rest 10 for supporting a workpiece against a cutting tool 15 and having a plunger 25, a work rest shoe 26 on the plunger, and means for applying a force to the plunger to urge the shoe against the workpiece. As described, the machine tool is a grinder for the crank-pins W of a crank-shaft which is axially and angularly indexed for the grinding of the successive crank-pins, and the work rest shoe is urged against a crank-pin with a relatively low pressure after angular indexing to effect a precision location of the crank - pin and is then urged with a relatively high pressure against the crank-pin during the grinding operation. The work rest 10 is movable about a pivot 11 on the machine frame by a piston-and-cylinder device 20, 21 and has a lower supporting member 30 movable about a pivot 31 on the rest by an actuator 32 to support the crank-pin W from below during a grinding operation. The plunger 25 having the work rest shoe 26 is movable in the work rest against the force of a spring 27 by means of a cam 35 movable in opposite directions by fluid pressure supplied to opposite ends of a cylinder 38 urging pistons 37, 40 against the ends of the cam. The plunger is also movable against the spring by fluid pressure supplied to the space 28 between the pistons and acting directly on the plunger. In operation and following angular indexing of the crank-shaft, the frame 10 is moved to its operative position by piston 20 and a limit switch activates a relay and timer so that a solenoid 3 moves a valve 60 to supply fluid pressure from a pump and a pressure reducing valve 62 at a relatively low value to the space 28 whereby plunger 25 moves against the force of spring 27 to press shoe 26 against the crank-pin with sufficient force to rotate the crank-shaft if necessary and ensure that a locating pin 52 on the index plate of the machine is urged against one side of a hole 50 or notch in the flange 51 of the crank-shaft. When the timer relay times out, the solenoid 3 is de-energized and spring 27 retracts the plunger. After a predetermined grinding operation, a solenoid 12 is energized moving a valve 65 so that high pressure fluid from the pump causes piston 37 to move cam 35 downwardly so that the work rest shoe 26 on plunger 25 is urged with greater force than before against the crank-pin during the grinding operation. On completion of the grinding operation, solenoid 12 is de-energized and the valve 65 is moved by its spring to supply fluid pressure to the piston 40 moving cam 35 upwardly so that spring 27 can retract plunger 25.
