Title: Switching circuits for the operation of electric machines
IPC: H02P7/28
Filed: 1973-07-24
Abstract: 1434557 Control of two D.C. motors JEUMONT-SCHNEIDER 24 July 1973 [31 July 1972] 35279/73 Heading H2J D.C. machines having armatures M1, M2 and field windings N1, N2 are operated in the following four modes by actuation of contactors C1 ... C4 and the moving contacts I1 ... I4 of a four-pole changeover switch I between positions 1 and 2:- Mode 1.-The machines operate as serieswound motors connected in series by movement of switch I to its position 1, opening of contactors C1, C3 and closing of contactors C2, C4, rheostats R1, R2 being adjusted to give the required speed. Mode 2.-This is produced by changing from mode 1 by opening contactor C4 and closing contactors C1, C3, whereby the machines operate as parallel-connected series motors with smooth changeover and subsequent speed control by adjustment of the rheostats R1, R2. Mode 3.-Switch I is moved to position 2, contactors C1 ... C4 are opened and rheostats R1, R2 are set to a predetermined value, whereby the machines operate as separately-excited parallel-connected generators returning power to the supply E, the excitation of their seriesconnected field windings N1, N2 being varied by a controlled rectifier bridge P to vary the braking torque. Mode 4.-When the machine speeds have fallen to a value corresponding to a voltage below that of supply E, mode 3 is altered by closing contactor C4 and adjusting members P, R1, R2 whereby the machines operate as separately-excited series-connected generators returning power to the supply E, members P, R1, R2 again varying the braking torque. The diodes D1 ... D4 prevent reversal of the braking current if the voltage of supply E exceeds the system voltage produced by the machines when generating. There may be a direct transition from mode 2 to mode 4, if the machine speeds at the end of mode 2 are too low for the machine output voltage to be in excess of the supply E.

Title: Improvements in or relating to the application of adhesives
IPC: B65B51/02
Filed: 1960-10-17
Abstract: <PICT:0914287/III/1> <PICT:0914287/III/2> <PICT:0914287/III/3> Apparatus for adhesively securing overlying portions of cardboard or similar material to one another, comprises at least one perforator-injector (23 or 24, Fig. 6) carried by a support 21 or 22, means for moving the support towards and away from said overlying portions 43 or 44 and 45, a feeding tube connecting each perforator-injector with a source of rapidly-drying adhesive, and control means for moving the support to cause the perforator-injector to perforate the outer portion 43 or 44, and then be withdrawn, and to control delivery of adhesive through the perforator-injector prior to withdrawal.  As shown in Fig. 1, a shaft 1, driven by a motor 3, is arranged to drive a shaft 6 through a clutch 4, 5 which is engaged when a pedal 13 is depressed.  The shaft 6 carries cams 7 and 8.  Cam 8 is followed by a roller on a pivoted lever 14, which is connected, by cables 16 and 17 running in sheaths 18 and 19, to plates 21 and 22 on which the perforator-injectors 23 and 24 are mounted.  The members 23 and 24 are connected by flexible pipes 35, 36, 37, 38, in which nonreturn valves 61 are incorporated, to a distributing box 39, supplied with adhesive from a tank 40.  The cam 7 acts upon a follower on a lever 60 which carries, in a position adjustable by a rod 62, a plate 41 which can engage and compress the tubes 35 to 38 to cause pumping of the adhesive under the control of the cam 7.  The perforator-injectors 23 and 24 may each comprise (Fig. 7) a hollow body 25 terminating in a reduced portion 26 providing a seating for an obturating member 29 which is urged to closed position by a spring 30.  Other forms are also described.  In operation, a cardboard packing case 42 is placed between the perforator-injectors 23, 24, with its flaps 43, 44 in the positions shown in Fig. 1, and the clutch 4, 5 engaged by depressing the pedal 13.  Movement of the lever 14 by the cam 8 causes the sudden advance of the members 23, 24, to commence perforation of the flaps 43, 44, then to withdraw them slightly, and then to advance them suddenly so that their ends enter the space between the flaps 43, 44 and the flaps 45 (see Fig. 6).  The action of the cam 7 on the lever 60 and plate 41 now causes adhesive to be injected into this space, after which the members 23 and 24 are withdrawn, and the flaps pressed down by means not shown.

Title: Improvements in sorting machines for the perforated cards of statistical and book-keeping machines
Filed: 1937-12-22
Abstract: 513,051. Statistical machines. SOC. INDUSTRIELLE D'INSTRUMENTS DE PRECISION. Dec. 22, 1937, No. 35540. Void. Convention date, Dec 31, 1936. [Class 106 (i)] Sorting cards.-In a machine for sorting follower cards into boxes after master cards, each group of followers is preceded' by a master with a special perforation. each master establishing a new sorting control by its normal sorting hole and, by means of its special hole, erasing the previous sorting set-up, whereby each group of followers follows its preceding master into a single box, irrespective of the sorting holes in the followers themselves. A column of ten cardreading members 0-9 (only 4 and 9 are shown) has associated with it "11" and "12" hole-position reading member of which "12" reads the special hole in the master and "11" is for use when faulty card-feeding occurs. For each of the hole-positions 0-10 there is a magnet such as r4 controlling the flap F4 of the corresponding card box and a relay such as R4 the armature T4 of which controls contact members M4, N4, P4, Q4. Relay R9 is shown energised and relay R4 unenergised. Contacts Q4, Q9, etc., are all normally closed and connected in series in the common return of the energising circuit of the relays R4, R9 &c. Cams A, B, C are rotated synchronously with the card feed, in the direction f1, to control contacts Ga, Gc, Gb1, and Gb2. When a reading member, say 9, reads a card hole a circuit positive Ga, 13, 1, 9, M9 (a), R9, N9 (c), 15, Q9, Q8 (not shown) 6, Q4, 21, negative, energises the relay R9. Contacts M9(a), N9(c), Q9 open and contacts M9 (b), N9 (d), P9 close. A holding circuit positive, 23, H12, 24, 25, M9 (b), R9, N9 (d), 26, 21, negative holds the relay R9 energised until the next master card causes the energisation of relay R12 and, by opening the contacts H12 erases the sorting set-up and permits a new one from itself. The opening of contacts Q9 prevents energisation of any other relay, such as R4, if its reading member 4 finds a hole in any follower card. Contact P9 being closed, the sorting magnet r9 is energised over a circuit positive, Ga, 16, 17, Gc, 18, 19,. P9, r9, 20, 21, negative, so that the follower cards follow their preceding master into a single box. The reading member 11 normially ,passes over an unperforated portion of the cards. If faulty card feed uncovers the plate 1, relay R12 is operated to open contacts H12 as though a special hole had been read. Contacts H11 are normally open and contacts Gb2 are closed with contacts Gbl by cam B so that the parallel circuit 24, H11, 28 maintains the holding circuit of the relay which has been energised.
