Abstract: 948,129. Sewing machines. FILOTECNICA SALMOIRAGHI S.p.A. April 6, 1960 [April 7, 1959], No. 12147/60. Heading D1G. In a sewing machine a single manuallyoperable knob is adapted to control the stitch length both when the feed is under automatic control by a cam disc and also when the cam control is inoperative, and a control lever is adapted to reverse the feed when the latter is either under automatic control or not. A rotary feed-control cam 3 co-operates with a follower 5 pivoted at 6. A cam 9 pivoted at 10 co-operates with a finger 7 rigid with follower 5 to disengage the latter from cam 3. A finger 8 rigid with follower 5 abuts an arm 11 pivoted at 12 to one arm 15 of a bell crank. lever 15, 20 pivoted at 16. A spring 27 acts on arm 15 to bias a roller 21, carried by arm 20, against the inner edge 22 of a cam slot formed in a rotatable disc 24. A vertically-slidable spindle 30 is coupled at its lower end by rack and pinion gearing 33 to the feed advance shaft 34. A torsion spring 35 acts on the latter to engage the upper end of spindle 30 with a lug 13 on arm 11 for maintaining arm 11 in contact with finger 8. When follower 5 is disengaged from cam 3 and disc 24 is rotated clockwise by a graduated control knob, lever 15, 20 pivots counterclockwise as roller 21 follows edge 22, whereby arm 11 rocks about finger 8 to vary the position of lug 13 for increasing the stitch length. At any setting of said knob, an arm 40 rigid with lever 15, 20 may be shifted to transfer roller 21 to the outer edge 23 of the cam slot for producing reverse stitching of the same magnitude. Oscillation of follower 5, when engaged with cam 3, is transmitted via finger 8, arm 11 and spindle 30 to shaft 34 for varying the stitch length. The magnitude and direction of the automatically-controlled stitch length may be modified by manipulation of the control knob and arm 40.
Patent GB-895480-A (GB)
Title: Method of removing the scale formed in the hot-working of iron and steel
IPC: C23G1/36
Filed: 1960-04-06
Abstract: <PICT:0895480/III/1> The scale formed in the hot-working of iron or steel is removed by treating the iron or steel with a hot, preferably boiling, aqueous solution of an ammonium salt, or mixture of salts, of a strong mineral acid, or acids, the ammonia released by the partial decomposition of the iron-ammonia complex formed by the treatment being retained in the reaction cycle, and precipitating as ferric hydroxide, the ferrous salt contained in the complex by the introduction of air, thereby simultaneously regenerating the ammonium salt.  The preferred ammonium salts are the sulphate and chloride. The descaling is conveniently carried out in an apparatus fitted with a reflux condenser, any ammonia gases not retained by the condenser being absorbed as an aqueous solution and returned to the apparatus. In another form, a cooling device above the descaling apparatus is so arranged that the ammonium salt descaling solution fills the device, and the ferric hydroxide is precipitated in this device.  Preferably it is arranged that the convection currents continuously mix the contents of the bath and the cooling device.  It is desirable to keep separate the portions of the solution where hydrogen is evolved from those where hydrogen is not evolved, and to effect the ferric hydroxide precipitation in the latter.  In another form, solution is continuously withdrawn from below the charge to be descaled, ferric hydroxide precipitated therefrom, and the solution returned.  Fig. 1 illustrates a suitable apparatus for carrying out the process of the invention, in which a pickling bath A has joined to one end a cooling and regenerating device B.  The cooling device has hollow walls 3 through which a cooling medium passes, and is filled with hollow partitions 4, 5.  A downward extension 10 ensures that no hydrogen enters chamber b.  Hydrogen gas escapes via line 12.  Air is introduced via line 16 to regenerate the solution, which returns to the pickling bath via chamber b.

Filed: 1920-05-04
Abstract: 169,743. Brooke, R. G. May 4, 1920. Giffard injectors; regulating or controlling action.-Relates to the class of steam-actuated water-injectors wherein the steam cone is, for the purpose of controlling the flow of steam and water, moved longitudinally between an obstructor and the combining-cone of the diffuser respectively, and consists in obtaining this movement without the aid of screw-threaded members. The steam-control spindle a, Fig. 1, is held stationary within the steam cone h by arms b, extending laterally through slots f in the upper part g of the steam cone, to a ring c which is clamped between separable parts d, e of the body. The lower part i, j of the central spindle acts in conjunction with a seating k in the steam cone as a steam valve, ports n affording steam from the inlet m access to the cone. Sliding of the steam cone for regulation is effected by an externally-mounted handlever t, with ratchet-and-spring-pawl detent x, y, and a rod o passing through a stutling-box and secured to the steam cone. In a modified construction the arms upon the control spindle are directly clamped between the parts of the injector, the operating rod is screwed directly into the spindle, shoulders on the steam cone are adapted to engage projections upon the gland of the stuffing-box between the steam and water inlets so that it may be rotated after assembly by turning the cone, the control spindle may be inserted laterally, and the operating-lever is differently arranged. Alternatively a pin mounted eccentrically upon the spindle of an external handle may be employed to raise and lower the steam cone. Fig. 8 shows an arrangement in which the tubular upper part g<2> of the steam cone is prolonged upwards, passes out through a stuffing-box p, and carries a collar 13 for the attachment of the operating gear (not shown). Through this tubular extension, provided at the top with a stuffing- box 14, there extends and projects the rod a<2> of the stationary steam control spindle with its valve i, j, a bracket 11 upon the injector casing affording a fixed support to which it may be secured by a pin 12. One of the alternative arrangements embodies also means whereby the steam cone may be utilized as a key for rotating and thus adjusting the gland of the stuffing-box through which it passes, as described in Specification 165,958. In another modified construction the conical extremity i of the obstructor i is omitted, and an eccentric pin upon a horizontal handle-spindle engages a transverse slot in the upper prolongation of the steam cone, whereby to move it.
