Title: Improvements in or relating to weighing apparatus
IPC: G01G23/18
Filed: 1933-08-03
Abstract: 407,604. Control of motors. MAATSCHAPPIJ VAN BERKEL'S PATENT NAAMLOOZE VENNOOTSCHAP, 2, Voltastraat, Rotterdam, Holland.-(Assignees of Julsingha, J. van; 122, Overtoom, and Hiensch, J. N.; 116, Overtoom, Amsterdam.) Aug. 3, 1933, No. 21872. Convention date, Aug. 4, 1932. [Class 38 (iii).] Following movement of control member.-In a weighing apparatus of the kind wherein a record of the weight is obtained after adjustment of an independent record-controlling device into registration (or other predetermined relation) with the indicating pointer the device, on arrival at the position of registration is automatically locked by optical or magnetic means and an accurate record is then obtained. As shown, the adjustable device consists of a graduated disc 3 carrying a photo-electric cell 13 and lamp 12. The disc is rotated by a motor 7 when this is energized by a means of a switch or is switched in by placing the commodity on the scale. At the same time the lamp is illuminated. When the disc has rotated sufficiently a beam of light from the lamp is reflected from a mirror 11 on the pointer 1 into the photoelectric cell which, acting through an amplifier 14 and a relay, breaks the motor circuit and energizes a number of brake electromagnets 15. The electromagnets attract the disc 3 and lock it. At the same time a printing device 8 is operated to make a record of the weight on a ticket. On completion of the operations the disc 3 is returned to initial position by a spring. In a modification, instead of using a photoelectric cell, the disc 3 is provided with a coil and the pointer with a magnet or vice versa, so that the relative movement between the disc and the pointer near the point of coincidence induces a current in the coil to stop the motor. A mechanical locking device may be used instead of the magnetic one described. The mirror 11 may be mounted on the disc 3 and the lamp and photoelectric cell on the pointer.

Filed: 1933-08-04
Abstract: 423,797. Delivery apparatus for printing-machines. SCHNELLPRESSEN-FABRIK FRANKENTHAL ALBERT & CIE AKT.-GES., Frankenthal, Pfalz, Germany. Aug. 4, 1933, No. 21919. Convention date, Dec. 24, 1932. [Class 100 (i)] A device for delivering printed products, e.g. newspapers, in counted batches with the separate newspapers disposed vertically comprises means for delivering the products in overlapping formation and rendering uniform the spacing of the newspapers prior to the separation into batches. The newspaper copies Z, Fig. 2, are stripped from the folding - cylinder K of the machine by fingers 1 against which they are pressed by spring-fingers 37, 38, and pass between slower-moving belts 15, 16. On the belt-roller 3 rows of projectors 4 ... 8 are provided and are engaged successively by the leading edges of the copies so as to space them uniformly. Tongues 28, 30 guide the copies on to horizontal belts 31, 31<a>, where they can be inspected, or finally stopped if desired by tilting fingers 127 into vertical positions. From the belts 31<a> the copies are conveyed to belts 48, Fig. 5, cooperating with belts 49 to feed the copies over toothed discs 44 which reduce the spacing of the copies. The discs 44 may be mounted on the shaft 36 of the belts 31<a>. Belts 50, 56 carry the copies along vertical guides 53 to the batching apparatus. This comprises endless bands 55 passing over rollers 84 and 85, and discs 83, the latter being carried by arms 80 suspended from a rod 79 and driven from a shaft 71 geared to the shaft 43 of the discs 44. Chains 60 passing over wheels 62, 63 carry blocks 90 running in guides 94 and in which rotate spindles 75 integral with fingers 76 which separate the copies into batches P. Projections 100 on the spindles 75 engage lugs 99 on the blocks 90 so as to hold the fingers 76 in vertical position under the action of springs on the spindles. Each pair of fingers 76 is tilted backwardly just prior to the completion of a batch by arms 111 on a shaft 110 intermittently rotated from the shaft 71, the arms engaging the projections 100 on the spindle 75. When the batch is completed, the projections are released and the fingers 76 spring back to the vertical position. Toothed wheels 115 driven from the shaft 71, are situated vertically beneath the guides 53 to facilitate the horizontal displacement of the copies with the bands 55. The delivery-apparatus is driven normally from the shaft 10 of the folding-cylinder K, but a special device, e.g. an electric motor, may be provided for operating the delivery when the printing-machine is at rest so as to clear the delivery of copies. The speed of the shaft 71 can be varied according to the number of products it is required to collect between successive sets of fingers 76.

Filed: 1951-10-03
Abstract: 715,485. Electron beam apparatus. FRIES, G., and INGLESBY, J. C. VREDENBURG-. Oct. 3, 1951 [Oct. 6, 1950], No. 23037/51. Class 39(1) [Also in Group XL(b)] Pictures are recorded by means of an image converter tube having a photo cathode for converting the picture into an electron image which is deflected over an elongated slot in anode 7 and the image strip passing through the slot is accelerated and focused so as to pass through a window in the envelope wall and impinge on a record carrier arranged outside the envelope wall. The optical image is focused by lens 5 on to photocathode 6 and the electron image is focused by coil 8 and swept by two coils 27 or by electrostatic deflection means (not shown) over slot 9 in high voltage anode 7. The electrons passing through the slot 9 are accelerated and focused by electron lens 10 and emerge from the tube through a Lenard window, covering slot 11 to strike recording film 12 which is fed past the Lenard window synchronously with the beam sweep by means of toothed drum 18 driven by motor 21 through worm 20 and worm wheel 19. The recording film is a layer of ionic crystals enclosed in protective material as described in Specification 715,480 and the method of recording gives a cinematographic sequence of images thereon. The beam sweep and film movement are synchronized by rotating potentiometer 17 whose rate of rotation is four times that of toothed drum 18, if the film is fed four frames per revolution of drum 18, and together with battery 25 ensures that the sawtooth deflector currents are kept in correct phase. A sound wave may be simultaneously recorded on the film by means of a modulated beam of a second cathode ray tube 28 which also emerges through a Lenard window. - The sound wave originates at microphone 29, is amplified at 30 and is applied to Wehnelt cylinder 31. The negative images on the film are transformed to positives by copying on to a photographic film, and the negative images erased so the halide film can be used again. Alternatively if reproduction is desirable in a small time. e.g. through a film projector, the negative image film is passed, if desired as it is being recorded, in front of the photocathode of a second apparatus similar to that described above: This causes positive images to be produced on the second film 12. In this case a sweep movement of the second electron image is not necessary provided that the image films are moved synchronously.

Title: Lubricating grease compositions
Filed: 1946-08-02
Abstract: A synthetic lubricating grease comprises a mixture of a monohydroxy 1 : 2-polyoxypropylene alcohol, of the general formula <FORM:0615188/III/1> produced by reacting a monohydric alcohol, phenol, or naphthol with 1 : 2-propylene oxide (see Group IV (b)) and a thickening agent such as a metal soap, an aliphatic polyamine soap, an alkylated cellulose, a vegetable or synthetic wax, or a polyolefine in the proportion of from 5 to 50 per cent by weight of the liquid.  The thickening agent preferably consists of an alkaline or alkaline earth metal soap of stearic or ricinoleic acids or a mixture of such soaps.  Antioxidants or corrosion inhibitors such as phenyl alpha naphthylamine and dianisidine may be added.  According to examples, synthetic liquids of a wide range of viscosities and molecular weights are prepared by reacting butanol, tetradecanol, methanol, benzyl alcohol, phenol and b -naphthol with various quantities of 1 : 2-propylene oxide, and the preparation of various greases from one of these, viz., an addition product of butanol and 1 : 2-propylene oxide having a viscosity of 106 Saybolt at 100 DEG  F. is described.  The thickening agents used are sodium ricinoleate; barium stearate and calcium ricinoleate; calcium stearate, water and dimethoxy tetraglycol; lithium stearate and ethylene glycol monobenzyl ether; and aluminium monohydroxy stearate.  Greases prepared from synthetic base liquids of various viscosities and lithium monohydroxy stearate are also described.  Many other thickening agents of the types referred to above are listed.  In preparing the greases, the soap thickener is preferably stirred into the synthetic base liquid at a temperature of 200 DEG  to 220 DEG  C. while inert gas is bubbled through the slurry to exclude oxygen.  The solution is then poured very rapidly into cold sheet metal trays in layers of 1/16 to 1/8 inch thickness, when solidification immediately occurs.  The cooled sheets are then worked, without p  ageing, in a mechanical grease-working machine.  Specification 601,604 is referred to.ALSO:In addition to the polymeric ether alcohols of the general formula <FORM:0615188/IV(b)/1> described in Specification 601,604, addition products of 1 : 2-propylene oxide with benzyl alcohol, phenol and b -naphthol of molecular weight from 656 to 995 are prepared by the same general methods.  The products are used in admixture with thickening agents to form lubricating greases (see Group III).
