Abstract: 829,478. Steering vehicles by braking. INTERNATIONAL HARVESTER CO. May 29, 1958 [June 7, 1957], No. 17160/58. Class 79(2) In an endless track vehicle having axles 24, 25, Fig. 2, driven independently for steering through epicyclic gear trains 22, 30, 31a on each side and in which one disc brake 33 attached to a reaction member 31 controls the slipping of the drive while a second disc brake 28 is actuated to brake the axle, the brakes on each side are controlled from single levers. The epicyclic gear trains comprise driving ring gears 22 integral with a central axle structure 19 which is driven from the transmission shaft 17 through bevel. gears 18, 21. The sun gears 31a act as the reaction members and are attached by flanges 31 to the brake discs 33. The planetary carriers 26 for planetary gears 30 are splined to the axles 24, 25 and have extensions 26a to which the brake discs 28 are attached. The discs 28, 33 are engaged by brake shoes 42, 64, Figs. 3, 5 mounted on eccentric spigots 47, 69 which are rotatable by levers 74, 78a to operate the brakes. An adjustable torsion bar 59 within the shoe 42 normally maintains the shoe in the braked condition with the disc 33 for transmitting drive through the epicyclic gear system while a tension spring attached to the lever 78a normally maintains the shoes 64 in the released condition clear of the disc 28 so that the axles 24, 25 are not braked. Both pairs of brakes are controlled from single levers 89 (not shown) on each side of the vehicle and which are coupled through push rods 92 and arms 93, to rotate a pair of shafts 80, Fig. 4, carrying cams 81. Rotation of the cams 81 first rotates the arm 74 through engagement with a roller 77a to release the brake disc 33 while further movements rotate the arm 78a, to brake the disc 28, the cam 81 having an arcuate portion 84 on which the roller 77a remains so that brake disc 33 is held in the released condition without resisting the further movement of the cam 81. The arc 74 is adjustable about the spigot 47 by a worm and worm wheel gear 76, 78 and the torsion in the bar 59 is adjustable at a spigot end 96 enclosed under a locking cap 61.

Title: Improvements in or relating to ring-twisting or ring-spinning machines
IPC: D01H1/36
Filed: 1952-07-11
Abstract: 706,297. Builder motions. HAGENUK HANSEATISCHE APPARATEBAU-GES. NEUFELDT and KUHUKE GES. July 11, 1952 [July 13, 1951], No. 17478/52. Class 120(2) A builder mechanism for a ring spinning or twisting machine includes a hydraulic servomotor which imparts a rapid reciprocatory movement to the ring rail over part of the length of the cop, the servomotor and its supply pump being combined as a structural unit and being given a relatively slow movement over the whole length of the cop by a separate hydraulic or mechanical means. A rod and chain mechanism for transmitting the motion to the ring rail is connected to a chain 22 which passes over a pulley 23 and is attached to a member 24 extending from the piston 36 of the servomotor 25. The servomotor 25 and pump 26 are mounted on a screwed sleeve 28 which is given a slow up and down movement over the length of the cop by a spindle 29 rotated by a bevel wheel 30 which may be driven from a working member of the machine. The servomotor is provided with a slide valve 32 and an auxiliary slide valve 33, and fluid supplied under pressure from the pump 26 through a pipe 43 enters both valves 32 and 33. Dependent upon the position of the piston of the valve 33 fluid is transmitted from this valve through either pipe 47 or pipe 48 to act upon one side or the other of the piston 38 of valve 32, so determining, according to the position of the piston 38, whether the fluid entering valve 32 is transmitted to act upon one side or the other of the piston 36 of the servomotor through either pipe 45 or pipe 46. Flanges 34 and 35 upon the piston of the valve 33 contact a projection 37 at either the upper or lower end of the travel of the piston 36 to displace the piston of valve 33. The upward stroke of piston 36 is of lower speed than the downward stroke as determined by the different effective surface areas. To compensate for the amounts of fluid required in each stroke a cam 39 projecting from piston 36 operates a spring-urged rack 40 to regulate the pump 26. Return pipes, not shown, are connected from the outlets 0 to the reservoir 27. The output of pump 26 may be varied manually.

Patent GB-175435-A (GB)
Abstract: 175,435. West & Co., Ltd., A., and Wise, W. L. Nov. 23, 1920. Electromagnets. - An electromagnet M is controlled bv means such that the circuit through the magnet windings is never broken throughout the whole range of the control. In the construction illustrated the control is effected by varying a shunt resistance R in circuit with the magnet coils, the controller being shown in the " off " position in which the resistance R is de-energized, and the magnet windings short circuited by the terminals 15, 16 being connected to the same point 17 of the resistance. The terminal 16 remains permanently connected to the point 17 except during the operation of de-magnetizing the coils. On rotating the drum clockwise until contacts 1, 13, 14 engage respectively with contacts 1<a>, 13<a>, and 14<a>, the resistance is connected directly across the mains L. A further movement of the drum disconnects the contacts 7, 7<a>, and connects the contacts 8, 8<a>. The circuit from the terminal 15 thus is diverted after reaching the point 7 from the course 18, 6<a>, 6, 19, 7, 7<a>, 20, leading to point 17, to the course 34, 8, 8<a>, 35, leading to the point 33. This puts the part of the resistance R between points 17, 33 in shunt with the magnet coils and sends a weak current through the coils. A further step by the controller disconnects the contacts 8, 8a, and connects the contacts 9, 9<a>. The magnet coils then are connected to the points 17, 36, the current through the coils being increased. Thus the current through the magnet coils is increased progressively by steps until the coils take their full load when they are connected to the points 17, 39. On rotating the drum counterclockwise from the " off " position until the other ends of the contacts 1, 13, 14, engage with 1<a>, 13<a>, 14a, the resistance R is energized, but the terminal 16 is connected to the point 40 by the course 21, 4<a>, 4, 41, 5, 5<a>. The magnet coils thus are connected across the points 17, 40 in the reverse direction and receive a weak demagnetizing current. Every successive contact on the controller is arranged to " make " before the preceding one is broken so that the circuit of the magnet is maintained throughout the control. Two shunt blow-out coils B are connected across the mains at the same time as the resistance R.

Title: Improvements in machines for making sliding fasteners
IPC: A44B19/46
Filed: 1945-07-11
Abstract: 601,467. Sliding-clasp fasteners. SOC. ANON. SPEED. July 11, 1945, No. 17661. Convention date, Feb. 22. [Class 44] In a machine for making sliding-clasp fasteners of the kind in which a reciprocating finger at each stroke forces one of the elements on to the tape, moving first along the tape and then when opposite the element, transversely to the tape, the movement of the finger is rectilinear and perpendicular to the tape, and the movements are preferably effected by the release of springs which have been stressed during an earlier part of the cycle of operations. In the embodiment shown, the finger 4 ensures the feed of the elements one by one in cooperation with a needle 18 which holds the column of elements 3 in the feed passage 17 while the finger 4 is retracted. The tape 2 is fed step by step. The finger 4 is attached, through a vertically movable slide 6, to a horizontally movable carriage sliding in guides 7, 8. The slide 6 is a cylindrical sleeve which slides between the end of the carriage 5 and a plate 12, and carries at its lower end a lug 13, to which are attached the finger 4 and, above it, a needle 14. The finger passes through a slot in the feed passage 17 which allows it to move vertically and horizontally, while the needle 14 passes through a hole allowing horizontal movement only, so that during the vertical movement of the finger, as shown in Fig. 5, the needle is held up, and so retains the next element 3b, while the finger forces element 3a on to the tape. The movements of the carriage 5 and slide 6 are effected by the release of springs which are previously stressed by cams 26, 27, the former actuating a lever 29 which positively moves the carriage to withdraw it, and at the same time extends a spring 24, the forward motion of the carriage being effected solely by the action of the spring as rotation of the cam permits. The cam 27 operates a push rod 30, which through the lever 31 and rod 32 raises the slide 6, a spring 25 being at the same time compressed; the downward motion of the slide is effected solely by the action of the spring 25 as soon as the cam allows the rod 30 to drop. Mechanism for holding up the column of elements 3 in the passage 17 during the time when the finger 4 is withdrawn comprises a second needle 18, Figs. 1 and 5, fixed to a bell-crank lever 22. When the carriage 5 moves forward, a nose 19 thereon rocks a lever 20 and retracts a spring loaded finger 21, allowing the lever 22 to move to withdraw the needle 18 under the influence of a spring 23. The lowest element now comes to rest on the needle 14, while the finger 4 takes position above the element 3a. Slide 6 then moves downwardly, and the finger 4 forces the element on to the tape, while the needle 14, engaged in its aperture, yields elastically.
