IPC: B22C17/10
Filed: 1927-12-08
Abstract: 307,451. Ramsden, J. T. Dec. 8, 1927. Moulding - machines; core - making ; clamping flasks.-A jar-ram, roll-over, pattern-drawing moulding-machine has a self-adjusting clamp for the mould- or core-box which also serves for drawing. The core-box a is fixed to a table 7 on a frame 5 which is pivoted at 6 to a stand 1 and counterbalanced by a weight 48 and an adjustable spring 12 so that it can be lifted by a handle 9 and jarred on a post 10. An arm 20 is then swung, against the action of an adjustable spring 24, through 90‹ about a spindle 18 to bring the clamping arms 31 over the box a. The spindle 18 is arranged to slide in a sleeve 17 of the frame 5 and it is moved down, to clamp a board b and the box a to the table, by a bracket 33, springs 42, link 40, and hand-lever 37, a counterweight 43 being lifted at the same time and the arm 20 being locked against swing by engaging a sleeve 44 over a rod 36 fixed to the frame 5. The hand-lever 37 is moved through 190‹ so that the pressure of the spring 42 keeps it locked against a stop. The whole is then rolled over about the pivot 6 until arrested by a stop 4, Fig. 3. The movement of the handle 37 is then reversed to lower the board b and core from the box and when the sleeve 44 passes off the rod 36 the spring 24 swings the arm 20 to the side of the machine so that the board b and core can be removed. A vibrator may be used during drawing. The movement of the arm 20 is limited by stops 47, 147, Fig. 1, and a stop 46, Fig. 3, which engages the lever 37 and also prevents it from being operated until the arm 20 has been swung over the box a. The arms 31 are connected to the arm 20 by a ball joint 29, Fig. 1, and adjustable sleeve 28.

Abstract: 1515447 Intruder alarm INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS MACHINES CORP 17 Aug 1976 [20 Oct 1975] 34147/76 Heading G4N [Also in Division G1] In an intrusion detection system pairs of evenly spaced sensors 56, 58 (Fig. 2) are arranged in a line along some boundary. In any pair the sensing directions of each sensor, which may be a geophone are arranged to be mutually perpendicular, with one direction perpendicular to the boundary. Range is derived from calibration curves (Fig. 3, not shown) of the time difference of arrival at each pair of the longitudinal P and shear S waves, for example, generated by some disturbance. Bearing is obtained from the relative strengths of the P and S waves at one pair or by triangulation, any location ambiguity being eliminated by using staggered pairs 321-324. Unwanted effects due to rain, traffic and persons within the boundary can be suppressed. The information may be displayed on a PPI CRT unit. Information concerning the mass of any intruder may be obtained from the output of a peak detector (Fig. 6, not shown). The geophone assembly comprises three similar units each having a coil 50 (Fig. 2) suspended freely by springs 46, 47, acting as electrical connections, in a strong radial magnetic field. The spike 54 enables the assembly to be used on the surface when the lowest unit registers Rayleigh waves. The assembly may be buried
