Title: Improvements in or relating to presses for vulcanizing and like purposes
Inventor: ROOKE RICHARD
IPC: B29C35/00
Filed: 1959-04-09
Abstract: <PICT:0869172/IV (a)/1> In a portable vulcanizing press, particularly for repairing conveyer belts of various widths, a pair of connected beams, adjustable towards one another, and extending across the belt 10 that is placed between them, are each provided with a heating platen 12 or 13 which can slide along its associated beam, one of the platens being provided with means for urging it towards the other. As shown, Fig. 2, the platen 12 is guided for longitudinal sliding movement by means of a flanged bush 26 which engages a slideway 18 formed between two members comprising the beam 14, and can be urged toward the platen 13 by means of a bolt 27 which, engaging in a thread in a bush 26, urges the stem 24 of the platen downwardly.  To prevent the edge of the belt from deforming during the heating, a bar 41 is pressed against the edge by bolts 42 engaging in the threaded holes of pins 39 which in turn are located in holes in the platens. The latter may be cooled by air passing through an enclosed tube or heated by an electrical element.  In a modification, the downward pressure is applied to the platen 12 by a rotatably-connected screw which engages a threaded hole in a block slidably mounted in the first beam.

Abstract: 216,164. Evans, W. E., (Europõischer Verband der Flaschenfabriken Ges.). May 19, 1924. Blowing.-Relates to means for enabling bottles of different heights to be made simultaneously on a machine of the Owens type, and consists of an adjustable or interchangeable intermediate member for holding the ring mould in order to enable the bases of the parison moulds to be brought to the same level. The arms 7 which carry the parison mould 21 are adjustably connected by screws 9 and guide rdds 10 to the supporting-lever 11 so that the mould, whatever its height, can be adjusted to the position necessary to secure the proper degree of immersion in the metal during the gathering operation. To enable short parison moulds to be used, as shown, the space between the top of the mould and the ring-mould carrier 23 is filled in with an intermediate member 22, which is clamped to the carrier by means of adjusting screws 24 and holds the halves 5 of the ring mould. In a modification, the member 22 is made in two parts telescoping one within the other, so that one member can be used with moulds of different height. Specifications 14184/05 and 29251/12 are referred to.

Title: Fluid-pressure operated clutch mechanism
Inventor: BUTLER HENRY JAMES
IPC: F16D25/0635
Filed: 1957-04-16
Abstract: 881,948. Friction clutches. DUNLOP RUBBER CO. Ltd. March 27, 1958 [April 16, 1957], No. 12337/57. Class 80 (2). An hydraulically actuated friction clutch has the centrifugal pressure of the liquid in the apply chambers opposed by applying centrifugally induced pressure to the opposite side of the actuating pistons to ensure rapid disengagement of the clutch, or to effect disengagement, on removal of the operating pressure. As shown, an input disc 1 is engageable by friction pads 13 actuated by pistons 15 slidable in cylinders 14 fast with an output shaft 10. The clutch is engaged by supplying pressure liquid through a rotary joint 28 and a conduit 16 to apply chambers 29. A secondary cylinder 20, fast with the output shaft, is connected by a conduit 21 to chambers 27 and has a plunger 22 urged outwardly centrifugally when the output shaft rotates so that the chambers 27 are pressurized to counteract centrifugal pressure in the apply chambers 29. The pressure in chambers 27 can be varied by varying the weight of plunger 22 or the bore of conduit 21, so that the pressure may neutralize that in chamber 29 or may be sufficient to retract the pistons when chambers 29 are opened to exhaust. The output shaft may be balanced by providing two sets of clutch cylinders in diametrically-opposed relation, alternatively a counterweight may be provided.

Abstract: 879,271. Stuffing-box substitutes. CHEMSTRAND CORPORATION. April 13, 1959 [April 14, 1958], No. 12468/59. Class 122 (5). A sealing device 11 for sealing an opening in a wall 16 separating high and low-pressure regions 14, 13 between which material 12 is continuously passed comprises a pair of sealing members 17 so supported on the wall as to provide between them a passage 18 for the material communicating with the opening, the passage being arranged to yieldingly open against the pressure in the high-pressure region while maintaining sealing relationship with the passing material. As shown applied to sealing the opening in the wall 16 of an annealing chamber 14 which contains pressurized steam and is fed with material 12 such as tow, the sealing members 17 are of resilient material and clamped together by two frame members 19 which are each formed with a recess 29 so that, when assembled, the portions 17a of the sealing members form the passage 18 between them. The assembled device is mounted on the wall 16 by bolts 32 which also clamp the inner flanges of the sealing members in position; the outer flanges of the sealing members are clamped by bars 39 against plates 23 forming part of the frames. In operation, the material is sandwiched between metal belts 42, 43 and fed thereby into the chamber 14, the steam pressure in this chamber acting on the resilient portions 17a and pressing them into sealing contact with the belts; similar sealing devices are arranged at the points where the belts pass cut of the chamber 14. The sealing devices may be used with other conveying means than belts, e.g. tubes or sheaths, or if desired, without any conveying means for the material. If desired, the region 14 may be at atmospheric pressure and a vacuum provided in the region 13.

Title: Improvements in or relating to permutation or combination locks

Filed: 1942-09-14
Abstract: 559,972. Permutation locks. ALDWINCKLE, S. E. Sept. 14, 1942, No. 12906. [Class 44] [Also in Group XXXI] In a permutation lock of the kind in which a sliding bolt is passed through apertures in co-axially arranged locking discs each disc 3 has a circular aperture 10, Fig. 7, tangentially enlarged at 11 to provide a slot to receive a flat bolt 77 when the disc is in release position, the bolt edges having opposed pairs of notches 12 which register with correspondingly spaced discs, the bolt being locked by rotating one or more of the discs so that the marginal portions of their apertures 10 engage one or other of the slots. The discs are inserted in slots 2 in a cylindrical casing 1 and are retained by the bolt or by other means, the casing being closed by end-plates 4, 5 with slots to receive the bolt. Tne lower part of the casing has smaller slots 6 through which the disc edges project, the metal between these slots being axially severed at 6<1> to provide tongues which are bent inwards to the cusp form shown in Fig. 7 to space and guide the discs. Each disc has a finger-piece 13 placed to one side and projecting through the slot 2 which limits rotation of the disc, and the discs are reversible so that when fin the released position certain finger-pieces are at the left ends of slots 2 as in Fig. 7 and others are at the opposite end. The initiated may thus release the lock by feel, and the combination may be changed if desired by withdrawing the bolt and then withdrawing selected discs and reinserting them in reversed position. The lock may be applied to locking the steering column of a motor vehicle and the Specification describes an application in which the casing is secured to the frame of a cycle by brazing, clips, or other means, in such position that the end of the bolt may be projected into the space between adjacent wheel spokes. The Specification also describes a lock in which a length of chain has one end secured to the casing and the other to the outer end of the bolt. Fig. 11 shows a padlock in which the bolt has an arm 25 with pin 24 adapted to enter a tubular member 23 carried by the casing. If desired the bolt may be spring-biased to release position and its removal from the casing prevented by pin and slot or other means.

As shown, the bolts 12 are provided with tappets 17 which work in recesses 16 in the lever 8, 13, one arm 13 of which is connected to an operating piston and cylinder 14, while the other arm 8 has a cam surface 10 engaging a plate 6 on the end of the valve spindle 5<1>.

Abstract: Synthetic fibres are made which are composed wholly or partly of a polymer containing a major proportion of N-alkyl substituted or unsubstituted methacrylo-cycloimide units.  These polymers may be made by the process described in Specification 883,555.  The fibres are prepared by spinning solutions of the polymers in solvents such as formamide, dimethyl formamide, dimethyl sulphoxide and formic acid.
