Title: An improved garment pressing machine
IPC: D06F71/02
Filed: 1921-12-07
Abstract: 190,892. Triplex Garment Presser, Inc., and Melzer, R. H. Dec. 7, 1921. Ironing-machines with pressing action only.- In a garment press the movable member is brought into pressing position by toggle mechanism operated by a foot-lever which may then be automatically moved relatively to the toggle mechanism, and by a second depression of the foot-lever the toggle may be broken and the press opened. The movable head 7 is spring-mounted upon a lever 8 pivoted at 9 and counter-weighted at 12. A lever 17 pivoted at 20 and provided with a weight 21 is connected at 19 to a link 18 pivoted at 22 to a block 23 adjustably secured by a screwed spindle 25 to the lever 8. The two members 17, 18 constitute a toggle and are shifted to locking position by a foot-lever 32, pivoted at 34, bent upwards at 16 and carrying at its upper end a roller 36 adapted to bear upon lever 17. Excessive movement of the toggle members beyond locking position is prevented by an adjustable rod 29 terminating in a rubber tip 31 for bearing against a cross-member 4 of the standard 1. The upstanding portion of the footlever 32 is provided with a pawl 46 pivotally mounted at 44 and supported by a blade spring 18. When the press is being closed, the adjustable arm 47 of the pawl engages the projection 50 of lever 17 so causing the pawl to rock and the arm 45 to pass into the recess 51. After the press has closed and the toggle made, the foot pressure is removed so as to allow the foot-lever to rise under the action of a spring stop 37 into the position shown in full lines in Fig. 2. The roller 36 is now out of engagement with the toggle lever 17 and the pawl 46 falls into the position shown with arm 45 resting upon a protuberance 49 on the weight 21 and the arm 47 engaging beneath the projection 50. If the footlever is now depressed, it acts by means of the pawl to turn the lever 17 anticlockwise so that the toggle is broken and the pressing head 7 is raised by the weight 12. Steaming-arrangements.-Steam passes to the garment upon the buck 6 when a ball valve is raised by the depression of a supplementary pedal 97. This pedal may be connected with the main foot-lever 32 by a bar 102 arranged to slide in the pedal and project beneath the tread 35. The bar can be withdrawn to allow the pedal and foot-lever to work independently.

IPC: H03K19/16
Filed: 1958-10-17
Abstract: 838,809. Magnetic gating circuits. STANDARD TELEPHONES & CABLES Ltd. Oct. 17, 1958, No. 33208/58. Class 40 (9). A gating circuit which will produce an output indicating the presence of a number of input signals comprises x input windings each wound on a different combination of z cores, x output windings each wound on a different combination of cores, and each core having unique combinations of y input and y output windings. The number of cores equals the number of choices of y out of x. As shown in Fig. 3, three input signals at terminals 31, 32 and 33 hold cores 21, 22 and 23 saturated. Withdrawal of one signal does not affect the saturation of the cores as each core is saturated from two of the signal sources. Withdrawal of two signals will desaturate one core and as this is associated with two output windings two of the terminals 41, 42 and 43 will show a high impedance. Withdrawal of all signals will desaturate all cores and all output circuits will show a high impedance. Input and output circuits are shown in Fig. 4, the input windings being energized over normallymade contacts S1, S2 and S3, and the output windings being energized in parallel from an A.C. source. Transformers T1, T2, T3, normally extract sufficient voltage to break down the voltage thresholds of rectifier bridges MR1, MR2, MR3. When two or three contacts S1, S2, S3 are open two or three of the output circuits show high impedance and the associated rectifier bridges cut off, causing indicators I1, I2, I3 to operate. The transformers T1, T2, T3 may be connected in common in a series connection of a number of output circuits each in a separate gating circuit, such as shown in Fig. 3, with separate sets of contacts S1, S2, and S3, see Fig. 6, not shown. In this arrangement the indicators I1, I2 and I3 will show that one of the gating circuits has two or three contacts open but will not show which gating circuit is concerned.
