Patent GB-488865-A (GB)
Title: Racket stringing machine
IPC: A63B51/14
Filed: 1937-01-14
Abstract: 488,865. Racket-stringing apparatus. KIRILLOFF, J. Jan. 14, 1937, No. 1126. [Class 132 (ii)] An appliance for stringing rackets comprises a mechanical string-tensioning device, a device for separating the longitudinal strings to form a shed for the reception of each transverse string and a string-straightening device having fingers adapted to engage a stretched transverse string and to hold it straight, the string-separating and string-straightening devices being independently adjustable in the direction of the length of the longitudinal strings. The racket is clamped upon a frame 5 supported on a turntable 8, which is slidable, by means of a handle 13 and screw 12 towards and away from two string-holding clamps 4. The clamps are secured to the pivotal axes of levers 21 resisted by a weight 19 and by a series of pick-up weights 24. The string is threaded longitudinally through the racket frame, passed over one of the clamps 4 and secured by a wing nut 16 and clamping member 15. The crank handle 13 is rotated to move the frame 5 away from the clamp until the lever 21 comes against the frame, the weight 19 with or without one or more of the weights 24 applying the requisite tension. The number of weights lifted is controlled by an adjusting screw 26. The stretched string is secured by an adjustable gripping device 46, or 51, and after removal from the clamp 4, is again threaded through the racket to be similarly tensioned at the opposite clamp, and so on until all the longitudinal strings are applied. The turntable is now rotated and secured at right angles (or at some other angle for oblique stringing) for the application of the transverse strings. A slidable string separator 29, Fig. 3, comprising a number of hooks 27 is brought into position and the alternate hooks are caused, by rotating a knob 33, to move in opposite directions and thereby raise and depress the alternate longitudinal strings. The transverse string is threaded across the racket frame and is tightened by the crank handle 13 and clamp lever 21 as in the case of the longitudinal strings. The clamp 46 is revoluble about a vertical axis to permit it to be used for holding the transverse strings between the threading operations. After each transverse string is tensioned a string-straightening device comprising a number of pivoted fingers 39 is adjusted by a manually-operated screw 44 to engage the stretched string and hold it straight during the next operation of the string separator. The string-separating device 29 and string-straightening device are independently adjustable in the direction of the longitudinal strings.

Title: Means for controlling the supply of liquid fuel to gas turbines
Inventor: FREEMAN FRANK GEORGE
IPC: F02C9/16
Filed: 1953-01-28
Abstract: 753,219. Gas turbine plant. LUCAS (INDUSTRIES), Ltd., J. Jan. 26, 1954 [Jan. 28, 1953], No. 2416/53. Class 110(3) [Also in Group XXIX] To prevent excess liquid fuel being supplied to a jet propulsion or other gas turbine engine during acceleration a valve 15 adapted to control a fuel by-pass is provided, this valve being operated through a lever 14 responsive to the opposed actions of a liquid pressure responsive to engine speed and the fuel pressure difference across a restricted orifice f in the fuel supply duct e and operating to open the bypass temporarily when the means for controlling the fuel supply is moved in a direction to increase that supply. As shown, the lever 14 is acted on at opposite ends by two flexible diaphragms 5, 9 loaded by springs 6, 10. The diaphragm 5 separates a compartment 4 in which the pressure is related to the turbine speed from a compartment 3 connected through a further compartment i with the suction side of a fuel pump c. The pump c which may be driven by the engine supplies the burner nozzle a through a pipe e containing an adjustable restriction f the pressure drop across which is applied to the diaphragm 9 so as to oppose the pressure in the compartment 4. The fuel by-pass comprises a passage q branching into a pipe 16 controlled by the valve 15 and a passage p controlled by a further valve o in the compartment i. The valve o is carried by a lever n and operated by a diaphragm k subject to the opposed actions of a tension spring r adjustable by a driver's pedal t and the pressure in a compartment j related to engine speed. The compartments 4 and j are supplied from the pipe e through a restriction w and the pressure in them is controlled by a centrifugally operated leak-off valve 22 carried on a rotor 19 driven by the turbine and divided by a partition 20 one side of which is connected to the outlet of the restriction w through ports 23 and a pipe u and the other side of which is connected to the inlet of the pump c through a passage 24 and the compartment i. In a modification in which spill type burners are used, the restriction f is adjusted by an evacuated capsule in response to atmospheric pressure and the burner spill pipe is provided with a re-circulating and a relief valve. Any of the flexible diaphragms described may be replaced by equivalent pistons.
