Patent FI-961117-A (FI)
Inventor: LEMINEN JARI KALEVI
IPC: B27M/
Filed: 1996-03-11
Abstract: This publication considers a method for the manufacture of glue-laminated wood elements, in which, among other things, production costs are lower than normal, the new profile, for example, allowing cracks in the timber material during machining to be eliminated. The invention relates to a glue-laminated wood element 6, glued together from wood profile sections 4, which element can be used, among other things as a timber block, as a glued wooden beam and as a solid wood sheet. Timber with solid wood thickness, for example, is used as timber material for profile sections. The timber is sawn on two opposite sides so that one saw line lies close to the outer surface 1a of the timber and acts as evaporation and plane surface during the treatment process. The second saw line lies closer to the timber core 1b and acts as a surface that accumulates cracks during drying. The plank that has been sawn in this way is planed to profile section shape 4, in which one side is convex 4a and the other side is concave 4b. In planing the plank cracks are removed, and the timber is carefully utilised. Profile sections 4 are glued together and in this way a timber element 6 is formed in which the tongue on the upper side and the cavity on the lower side act as guide surfaces and as reinforcements, and form the top side and underside of the planed block. A glue-laminated wood element 6 manufactured according to this method is more advantageous and solid that an element produced by traditional methods, and because the timber element is the right size cracking and distortion are avoided. <IMAGE>

Abstract: 1,012,836. Ski-bindings. H. MARKER. Aug 7, 1962 [Aug 12, 1961: May 30, 1962], No. 30148/62. Heading A6D. A movable member carrying a front jaw for ski bindings is arranged to be deflectable in a lateral direction about a vertical pin when under excessive torque, the said member having at least one inclined surface spring-biased towards a cooperating inclined surface whereby the said member is urged back to its normal position. In the first embodiment, Figs. 1 and 4,the movable member 4 carrying the jaw 16 has a double inclined under surface in the form of a shallow V and this is pressed against a base member 2 of co-operatin configuration by a spring 5 whose tension is adjustable by means of a nut 6. Thus when the member 4 is angularly displaced it will return, when freed of obstruction, to its normal piston, in which position a ball catch 9, 10, 11 locks it. The jaw 16 is similarly secured to the member 4 so that when the member 4 is deflected clockwise, as viewed from above, the jaw is deflected counterclockwise, and vice versa. A second embodiment is described with reference to Fig. 3 (not shown) in which a single inclined surface is employed. The adjustment of tension of springs 5, 21 may be by multisurfaced cams 29.

Abstract: 792,353. Osier decorticating machines. AZCUE, G. A. Jan. 13, 1956 [Sept. 14, 1955]. No. 1317/56. Class 133. The withes 31 are fed one by one to a first decorticating device 10 which decorticates each withe over part of its length while holding it in a gripper 9 having a rectilinear travel, and thence to a second decorticating device 21 which decorticates the withe over the rest of its length while holding it in a gripper 20 having a circular travel. The thick end of each withe is placed by hand in a notch 6 of an intermittently driven endless chain 1, the thin end resting on an endless cable 2 driven at the same speed as the chain, and the thick end abutting against a guide plate 4. An elevator 3 transfers each withe from the chain 1 to the gripper 9 the jaws of which then close and simultaneously the blades 15, 16, Fig. V of the decorticator 10 close upon the withe. The gripper 9 remains stationary while the blades 15, 16 travel horizontally to the right decorticating the thick end. The blades then open and the gripper 9 moves to the right and transfers the end of the withe to the gripper 20. The gripper 9 and blades 15, 16 then return to their original position. A rotating deflector 18 pushes the withe out of the way of the next withe so that before decortication of one withe is complete the next can be started. The gripper 20 is mounted on the periphery of a flywheel and draws the withe through two sets of decorticating blades 21 which close upon the withe simultaneously with the closing of the gripper 20. The first blade set detaches the cortex and the second removes it. The withe then passes between rods 26 and at the point 29 the gripper 20 opens and the rods 26 close together to hold it in a horizontal position and deliver it to an inclined plane down which it slides into a receptacle.

Abstract: 913,079. Determining physical dimensions. WAYNE KERR LABORATORIES Ltd., and CALVERT, R. March 6, 1961 [Jan. 14, 1960], No. 1383/60. Addition to 912,041. Class 37. In apparatus for measuring the spacing between two conductive surfaces, a pair of capacitive electrodes are arranged a known distance apart and facing the surfaces. The invention makes use of the principle described in the parent Specification of the effect on the output voltage of a high-gain amplifier of varying the capacitance connected in a negative feed-back path. Constant current sources 17 feed amplifiers 15 each having the capacitance of electrodes 12 connected in a negative feed-back path via the earthed output terminal 19. The output voltages are approximately proportional to the spacing between members 12, 18. The sum of the output voltages may be obtained by an adding circuit 20 comprising a negative feedback amplifier 21 and resistors 22. The output of amplifier 21 is rectified at 25 and indicated on a meter 24, the reading of which is added to the separation between electrodes 12 to give the separation between surfaces 18. Guard rings 13 are provided. Measuring moving bodies.-Fig. 3 shows a pair of capacitive electrodes measuring the width of a moving metal billet 40. In this case the outputs of the amplifiers 15 are coupled by transformers (Fig. 5, not shown) to an indicator, one of the transformers reversing the phase so that the indication is proportional to the difference in spacing of electrodes 41, 42 from the body 40. Rail gauges.-The apparatus may be mounted on a railway vehicle, as in Fig. 2, and capacitive electrodes 10, 11 used to determine the separation between the rails 30, 31.

Title: Gyroscopic device embodying a fluid vortex amplifier
IPC: F15C1/16
Filed: 1963-01-11
Abstract: 1,125,931. Gyroscopes, turn; sensitive devices. R.E. BOWLES. Jan. 11, 1963 [Jan. 12, 1962], No. 1474/63. Heading G1C. A gyroscopic device comprises a fluid vortex amplifier 2 including a vortex chamber 5, an inlet opening 8 for introducing liquid into the chamber 5 adjacent its periphery and an annular outlet opening 9 coaxial with the centre of the chamber 5, an axially elongated cylinder 11 coaxial with the chamber 5 and having an internal diameter the same as the external diameter of the outlet opening 9, and means for detecting precessional effects in the liquid in the cylinder 11 as a result of rotation of the device about an axis other than coincident with or parallel to the longitudinal axis of the cylinder 11. The liquid draining from the vortex amplifier 2 enters an annular passage 13 formed between the cylinder 11 and an inner cylinder 12, then flows up the cylinder 12 and through a conduit (not shown) to a pump, the outlet of which is connected to the inlet opening 8. The cylinder 11 is closed at its lower end by an end-plate 14 in which are formed four apertures 16, 17, 18 and 19 (Fig. 2) arranged in two diametrically opposed pairs. In operation, liquid which enters the chamber 5 tangentially through the inlet opening 8 follows the conventional vortex amplifier flow pattern to the outlet opening 9, enters the annular passage 13 and continues to rotate along a helical path until it reaches the end-plate 14, after which it follows the arrows 21 into the cylinder 12. The rotational velocity of the liquid is greatly amplified in proceeding from the inlet opening 8 to the outlet opening 9 and, as a result of this amplification, the rapidly rotating liquid in the annular passage 13 assumes gyroscopic characteristics. Actual precession of the liquid cannot occur since it is restrained by the cylinders 11, 12 and the system therefore operates as a restrained, i.e. a rate gyro. As a result, however, of the precessional effects, the liquid tends to develop a greater static pressure on one side of the annular passage 13 than on the other side. The apertures 16, 17, 18 and 19 in the end-plate 14 enable the pressure differences with respect to two perpendicular axes to be measured. In a practical system, the longitudinal axis of the cylinder 11 is aligned with one of the axes of a missile, aircraft, submarine, surface vessel or other vehicle and rates of rotation relative to its other two axes detected. A system for displaying these rates of rotation using two fluid amplifiers of the type disclosed in Specification 970, 985 is described Fig. 4 (not shown). The signals produced in this system may be employed directly in a control system. The device may also be used as a position gyro as opposed to a rate gyro, in which case it is mounted in a conventional gimbal structure so that orientation displacement of the device may occur. In order to overcome the effects of gravity upon the asymmetrical vortex amplifier 2, two such devices connected end-to-end in axial alignment may be employed.

Abstract: 1,167,811. Bottling. FMC CORP. 12 Jan., 1968 [25 Jan., 1967], No. 1777/68. Heading B8T. [Also in Divisions F1 and F2] A liquid-dispensing apparatus includes a foot valve with a partially open and fully open position. A vertical stationary column (16), Fig. 1 (not shown), rotatably supports stabilizing wheels (17, 19) and a filling tank (14) in permanent communication with dispensing heads 10, Fig. 2, above supports (21) supporting cartons C, each head having associated guide rods (23, 24). An inlet valve housing 70, is slidably mounted on, and sealed by a sleeve 74 to tube 66 which is connected to tank 14. The height of the housing 70 is controlled by a cam follower 190 riding on a fixed cam 188 as the apparatus rotates. An inlet valve 76 is controlled by a lever 172 pivoted to housing 70 and sealed in the housing by a flexible diaphragm. A cam follower 180 on cam 183 can open the valve against the tension of a spring 184. Slidably mounted on the bottom of housing 70 is a measuring housing 80, a sleeve 82 and 0-ring 81 sealing the connection. A cam follower 194 controlling the height of housing 80, runs on a cam 28 containing adjustable portions so that a variable amount of liquid may be delivered. The foot valve 86, mounted at the bottom of housing 80, is controlled by a lever 112 pivoted and mounted with a diaphragm in a similar way to lever 172. Pressure in chamber 88 controls, through device 90, the amount the foot valve is opened. Lever 112 operates valve stem 110 carrying a plug 114, on which is a lug 116 which can engage with valve cage 118 attached to ring 124 to open the valve fully. Valve stem 110 is centred in tube 184 by spiders 126, 128 and cage 118 is centred by spiders 140, 138. When the stem 110 is raised slightly, ring 124 remains seated, but plug 114 is raised. Further movement of stem 110 unseats the ring, providing a larger diameter opening. The apparatus need not necessarily be mounted on a rotating table machine. Operation.-On rotation of the turret supporting the heads, the measuring housing 80 is first lowered with valve 76 held open to draw in liquid, valve 86 being held closed by a portion (29b), Fig. 1 (not shown), on cam 29. With the filling tube thus introduced into the container, valve 76 is closed, housing 70 is lowered, causing an increase in pressure in the measuring housing which opens valve 86 partially. With housing 70 in fixed vertical position, housing 80 is raised by cam 28, forcing the foot valve fully open and rapidly filling the container. When relative movement between housings 70 and 80 stops, the foot valve closes, and a new cycle commences. A variable orifice valve 144 is placed between housings 70 and 80, comprising a cylindrical section 160 fixed to stem 110 in an opening 152. This valve partially closes the opening when valve 86 is fully or partially closed, but is open when valve 86 is fully open. This valve serves to check chattering.
