Title: Improvements in or relating to platform weighing machines
IPC: G01G5/00
Filed: 1935-08-14
Abstract: 459,195. Weighing-apparatus. TRANSPORT ENGINEERING & EQUIPMENT CO. (LEEDS), Ltd., 24, York Place, Leeds, BARCLAY, KELLETT, & CO., Ltd., Joseph Street, Bradford, KELLETT, A. F., 24, York Place, Leeds, and BARCLAY, C. M., Etherley, Green Gate Lane, Scriven, Knaresborough, all in Yorkshire. Aug. 14, 1935, No. 22851. [Class 143] Relates to a platform weighing-machine suitable for ascertaining the load on one wheel of a motor vehicle and of the kind wherein the platform is supported by weighbridge levers operating directly or indirectly upon the diaphragm of a pressure gauge. The invention consists in providing means for positively adjusting the effective working area of the diaphragm practically to a constant amount so as to ensure a true-to-scale weighing. The pressure on the platform 1 is transmitted by the lever system 3 to a ram 8 resting on the diaphragm 4 which is held in place by a screwed spigot member 7. The undersides of the spigot member and the ram are concave and convex respectively to give the diaphragm the shape shown. In order to adjust the position of the ram 8 to give a true to scale or linear relationship between the applied load and the gauge reading, a screwed bush 9 abutting against the ram may be screwed up or down in the spigot member to decrease or increase the effective or working area of the diaphragm. Temperature effects on the zero reading may be corrected by rotating a screwed spindle 20 operating upon a ram and diaphragm in an auxiliary cylinder communicating with the cylinder of the pressure gauge.

Title: Improvements in or relating to bearings for timepieces
IPC: G04B31/04
Filed: 1959-07-03
Abstract: 857,574. Bearings. PARECHOC S.A. July 3, 1959 [July 10, 1958], No. 22943/59. Class 12(1). In a timepiece bearing, the end-stone 3 is maintained in position by a resilient U-shaped clip 5 having ends 5a and a central projection 5b which are engaged in a groove 6 in a housing 1. An inlet 7 to the groove 6 is of sufficient width to allow the passage of the projection 5b but not that of the ends 5a. To remove the end-stone 3, the projection 5b is lifted through the inlet 7 and the clip laterally shifted, in order to free the end-stone, without separation of the clip from the bearing housing 1.

In the centrifugal process for making glass and like fibres the openings in the periphery of the spinners are made of different sizes. The openings in each row may all be of the same diameter in that row or they may be of different diameters in that row. The diameters may vary from row to row or from one series of rows to another. A mixture of fibres of different diameters may thus be obtained, but fibres of a more or less uniform diameter may be obtained by arranging that the larger diameter openings are in the zones where the glass is more viscous.

Abstract: 1,162,910. Electric correspondence control systems. RANK ORGANISATION Ltd. May 13, 1968 [May 18, 1967], No.23236/67. Heading G1N. [Also in Division G2] The three-dimensional movements of a television camera mounted on a stand are measured electrically and fed to actuators to control the camera to keep a fixed subject in focus during movement of the camera assembly. As shown Fig. 1, the camera 18 and lens unit 22 are mounted on a trolley 2 having three wheels 4 whose angular direction is determined by steering bar 12 coupled to the wheels via shaft 14, sprocket 10 and chain 6. The forward velocity V of the assembly is measured by a tachogenerator 30 coupled to a wheel 4; the angle # between the direction of motion of the trolley and the horizontal projection of the line of sight is measured by a potentiometer 34 mounted on shaft 14; the angle # between the line of sight and the horizontal is measured by a potentiometer 36. To compensate for panning movement of the assembly, a signal( V sin # / D(F) cos #) is derived, where D(F) is the distance between the camera and the subject, derived from a potentiometer 32 whose slider is coupled to the lens unit 22 and is thus dependent on the focus setting of the lens in accordance with the distance between the camera and the subject. This signal may be augmented at 51 Fig. 5 by an arbitrary pan demand signal from unit 50, and the combined signal fed to a pan servomotor 52. To compensate for tilting movement of the camera, a signal incorporating h, the rate of increase in height of the camera, is derived, h being measured by a tachogenerator 40 Fig. 2 (not shown) coupled between the trolley 2 and the camera 18. This signal may similarly be augmented by a tilt demand signal, and fed to the tilt servomotor 54. Similarly signals for correcting the focus or maintaining a constant zoom setting as a result of camera displacement are obtained by appropriate combinations of the signals from the above transducers Figs. 3, 4 (not shown).

Drawing.-Relates to the drawing of glass cylinders, particularly from a body of metal contained in the forehearth of a tank, and consists in cooling the glass more on one side of the cylinder than on the other in order to secure cylinders of even thickness. In the construction shown, the cylinder is surrounded by a hollow water-cooled ring 2 the ends of which are in planes inclined to one another. The greatest depth of the ring is arranged nearest the tank,. and the cooling effect is greatest on this side.
