Title: Improvements in or relating to stress indicators
IPC: G01L1/22
Filed: 1944-12-02
Abstract: 626,206. Determining physical qualities of materials ; resistance measurements ; combinations of resistances. BRITISH IRON & STEEL RESEARCH ASSOCIATION, OROWAN, E., HOFF, E. A. W., and LOS, J. Dec. 2, 1944, No. 24111. [Class 37] [Also in Group XIX] A stress indicator for measuring loads, particularly the load between the rolls of a rolling mill, comprises a block on which electrical resistance strain gauges are mounted in such a way that one or more of the gauges are tensioned and one or more are compressed, the load being determined by adding together the resistance variation effect of the gauges. As shown, the block is cylindrical and is adapted to support along the axis the total load of one of the bearings of one roll. Four strain gauges a, Fig. 1, sensitive to variations in the length of the block, and four strain gauges b sensitive to variations in the circumference of the block, are mounted equidistant on the block. The gauges are stuck on the bottom of shallow recesses in the block and are covered and sealed by means of an external sleeve 3 (not shown) and a sealing compound to protect them from the atmosphere. To measure the load on the bearings on the roll, the combined strain gauges a of the block are arranged at A in the Wheatstone bridge, Fig. 3, and the combined strain gauges b of the same block are arranged at B. The other arms have fixed resistances x and y. The two effects of A and B are cumulative in the galvanometer c. Zero adjustment is by a variable resistance g. Total load on the roll is measured by two blocks, one at each end, the combined gauges of the second block replacing resistances x, y in the circuit. Like gauges of the two blocks are opposite so that the effects on the galvanometer are cumulative. In both these arrangements temperature variations are cancelled out. For photographic recording or for ordinary purposes a modified moving coil galvanometer with torsion wire suspension is used, the coils having a natural period between 1 and 0.01 second, and having a mirror directly attached thereto. For pen or pencil recording, amplification means may be included in the circuit.

Title: Improvements in variable liquid supply systems
Inventor: TYLER STANLEY RALPH
IPC: F02C7/236
Filed: 1956-08-07
Abstract: 842,354. Jet propelled helicopters. DOWTY FUEL SYSTEMS Ltd. Aug. 2, 1957 [Aug. 7, 1956], No. 24197/56. Drawings to Specification. Class 4. [Also in Group XXVI] The Provisional Specification describes a fuel system for supplying spill burners at the tips of the jet-propelled rotor blades of a helicopter in which a centrifugal fuel pump is secured on the top of the rotor hub so as to rotate therewith, the pump impeller being driven by the rotor but at a much higher speed by means of planetary gears which engage a fixed gear ring attached to the helicopter fuselage. Fuel is supplied from a metering control located in the fuselage and is fed to the pump through a pipe extending upwardly through the hollow helicopter rotor support spindle. The fuel spilled from the burners is returned to the pump at a position radially inward of the pump discharge and therefore at a pressure lower than the discharge pressure. The centrifugal increase in fuel pressure due to rotation of the helicopter rotor acts equally on the supply and spill lines connected between the pump and the burners and therefore does not affect the pressure difference between these lines. The jet-propulsion means may be of the ram jet or pulse jet types.

Filed: 1939-08-24
Abstract: 536,762. Bundling machines. WILLCOX, T. W. J. Aug. 24, 1939, No. 24431. [Class 94 (i)] [Also in Group I] A device for supporting packages in a bundling-machine comprises two portions which move in turn to give clearance for the device that carries the tying material around the packages. The device is used in connection with an automatic wire-tying machine in which wire from a coil is trained around a package 32 by a horizontal tube 21 that moves in a vertical circle around the package. The device comprises rollers 11, 11a which form a bridge between the table on which the package is supported and an inclined conveyer 33, Fig. 2 (not shown), by which the package is removed. The rollers must be moved out of the way of the tube 21, and for this purpose, they are mounted on frames 10, 10a, respectively, which are pivoted on a shaft 9 and tare counterbalanced by weights on extensions 22. Each frame is connected to the base of the machine by, a pair of pivoted links 13, 14, and the two frames are drawn together by a spring 12. Each link 14 is connected by a chain 17 with a lever 15 pivoted on the shaft 9, and the two levers embrace a crank pin 20 which is rotated in unison with the tube 21. Thus as the tube 21 moves around the package, the crank pin swings first one lever 15 and then the other and this causes the frames 10 and 10a in turn to swing out of the path of the tube. Each set of rollers is carried by a sub-frame which is pivoted at 34 to the carrying frame, and is free to tilt to assist in discharging the package, each time a package makes contact with a stop. In a modified construction, the depending arms and cables are omitted and the crank pin acts directly upon extensions of the frames below the shaft 9. Stops of the kind described in Specification 536,797 may be provided to define the position of the package during the tying operation.
