Title: Improvements in, or relating to lazy-tongs mechanism
IPC: F16H35/00
Filed: 1923-12-18
Abstract: 230,909. Thompson, G. S. Dec. 18, 1923. Link-work.-One or more systems of lazy tongs linkages are mounted to rotate about an axis, being actuated through mutilated toothed gearing so as to produce alternate extension and retraction with intermediate periods of angular movement in the fully extended and retracted positicns respectively, during each complete revolution. The device may be mounted 167 in a frame Q, two lazytongs systems 1, 2 rotating about an axis 3 in opposite phase; as shown, each system comprises duplicate lazytongs braced to gether by cross-bars. N, 0, but the action is described with reference to one lazy tongs of each system,. The terminal links G, H, J, K are pivoted to arms extending from plates D, E, one plate E being secured to a shaft or spindle B<1>, the other to a sleeve C' mounted on the shaft. The sleeve and shaft carry mutilated toothed pinions B, C driven by a broad pinion or feed wheel F, gips B<2>, C<2> in the pinions B, C, providing for intermittent pauses of the sleeve and shaft alternately whilst suitably spaced interengaging lugs B<3>, C<3> produce re-engagement of the gears. After having moved in the direction of the arrow from the position shown in Fig. 5 to that shown in Fig. 3, with one lazytongs 1 fully extended and the opposite lazytongs 2 fully retracted, the plate E remains stationary, the pinion B, ceasing to rotate (Fig. 6), whilst the plate D, driven through the wheel C, moves alone to the position shown in Fig. 5, thus retracting the extended lazytongs 1 and extending the previously retracted lazytongs 2. The lug C<3> on the pinion C thereupon engages the lug B<3> and concurrent drive of the two pinions ensues until the position shown in Fig. 3 is again reached. In the succeeding movement the plate D and pinion C remain stationary. Over running is prevented by forked attachments l, on the link members J, G, preferably formed by the turned up ends of cross bars R, and which are adapted to engage a fixed stop T, when reaching the position shown in Fig. 3, the subsequent retraction of the lazytongs causing the forked member to circle round the stop and thereby provide release therefrom when the position shown in Fig. 5 is reached.

Abstract: 1373184 Making tubes SOC ANON DES USINES CHAUSSON 6 July 1972 [7 July 1971] 31832/72 Heading B3A [Also in Division B5] Apparatus for continuously forming a tube and continually cutting the tube so formed in substantially uniform lengths comprises first and second strip drives 7, 8 with strip tensioning means 9 therebetween;. forming rolls 12 driven at a constant uniform speed by a common shaft 14, the constant speed of the rolls being substantially identical to the speed of strip supplied to the forming rolls; cutting means 22 disposed to reciprocate along the path of the tube as it is fed from the forming rolls, means driven by the common shaft for reciprocating the cutting means; and means actuated by movement of the cutting means to effect operation of the cutting means to cut the tube. The feed rolls 8 are driven at a constant speed by the shaft 14 and the feed rolls 7 are driven by a motor 7a at a variable speed which is controlled by two detectors 11a, 11b detecting the position of inertia block 11. If the block moves near detector 11b the speed of the rolls 7 is decreased while if the block moves near detector 11a the speed is increased. The strip is thus fed to the forming rolls 12 at a constant speed. The formed tube 13 is cut by a saw 22 mounted on a pivoted arm 20, the latter being reciprocated by the shaft 14 via gears 16, crank 18 and rod 19. Movement of the arm in the tube feed direction f1 drives a wedge 30 over a catch 34 to bring the tube into contact with the saw. During the return stroke of the arm 20 the rear portion of the wedge rotates the catch 34 against the action of spring 36 thus avoiding movement of the tube towards the saw. In another embodiment (Fig. 3, not shown) the pivoted arm 20 is replaced by an arm (40) mounted for reciprocable movement on a horizontal guide rod (39).

Abstract: 650,926. Vibration detectors. MINISTER OF SUPPLY. Dec. 9, 1948, No. 31929. [Class 40 (iv)] [Also in Group XL (b)] A backing member for exerting mechanical pressure on a piezo-electric crystal or magnetostrictive vibration generator comprises a body portion, Fig. 2, having a plurality of pressure elements 2 mounted on and projecting from said body towards said generator element, the pressure elements each terminating in a surface having a perimeter small in relation to the wavelength of the vibrations to be generated. The body 1 may be of hardened steel, and the pressure elements may be of square or round cross-section with frusto-pyramidal or frusto. conical ends all ground so as to be co-planar. The elements 2 may be in a pattern of rows or may be spaced so as to avoid vibration antinodes on the generator element. The spaces between the pressure elements may be filled with a rubber-like material to give a plane surface to which the piezo-electric crystal or magnetostrictive vibrator (not shown) may be bonded by adhesive. The backing member enables a generator to be forced into close contact with a body into which vibrations are to be injected, for example for flaw detection, without excessive backward transmission of energy from the generator. Fig. 3 shows a mounting for a mosaic of piezo-electric crystals for producing a beam of ultrasonic vibrations comprising an array of backing plates 11 each carrying a crystal 12 as described in Fig. 2. The backing plates are soldered to raised silvered portions of a ceramic base 10 through which one set of leads 16 project, the other lead being connected to a metal diaphragm 13 which engages the surfaces of the crystals 12 and is held in place by a spring ring 15. The diaphragm 13 serves to transmit the beam or ultrasonic vibrations. Specification 638,285. [Group XXXVIII], is referred to.
