Title: Improvements in or relating to Machines for Winding Strips of Material on a Core.
Inventor: WARWICK GEORGE
IPC: B65H16/02
Filed: 1916-02-04
Abstract: 103,690. Warwick, G., and Crouch, A. P. Feb. 4, 1916. Wire and cores, covering by winding. -In a hose-making or other machine for winding strips on a wire or a core or for unwinding strips, the delivery roller or member of the feeding-device is mounted so that it is always free to swing into a position at rightangles to the part of the strip that extends angularly from the feeding- device to the core. The invention is shown applied to a machine in which the core mandrel is mounted at the ends in chucks D<1>, and the delivery roller is mounted on a carriage A' which can be traversed backwards and forwards on a rail B by means of reversible chain gearing According to the invention, the delivery roller G<2> is journaled in a carrier E, which can swivel about a vertical pivot on the carriage A'. The pivot may consist of a bolt E<1> provided with ball bearings E<2>. The carrier is provided with a tension roller F and with spindles supporting the delivery roller G<2>, a guide-roller G<3>, and the strip-spool J<1>. The outer end of the spool spindle is engaged by a notched arm H<2>, which is pivoted on spindle H<1> and is secured by a nut H<4>. The tension roller E is provided with a drum F<1> engaging a brake band F<2> secured at the ends to a lug F<3> and to a bolt F<4>, which passes through the lug and a spring F' and is provided with a nut F<6>. The provision of a swivelled carrier causes the strip to be laid with its whole width under a more even tension; moreover, on reversing the carriage A', the delivery roller sets itself automatically in the direction required for the reverse travel. In a modification, the carrier may be mounted universally, so that it can swivel for the purpose described above, and can also tilt in a vertical plane to adjust itself for mandrels of different diameters, or can tilt sideways to adjust itself for a non-parallel core. The invention can be applied to machines in which the mandrel is stationary and the carrier rotates round the mandrel.

Convention date, Jan. 21, 1931. Class 97 (i) and 98 (i).] In apparatus comprising a driving spring, film sprocket, and film supports, all so placed as to be intersected by a single plane at rightangles to their axes, the film is looped about the driving spring or its casing. As shown, the film F from a reel 17 passes, under pressure rollers 19<1>, to a sprocket 20, thence round a fixed guard 22, enclosing a governor 38, to the gate 24, and thence, in a loop F<3>, under pressure rollers 25 to the sprocket 20 and a take-up reel 18. The sprocket 20 constitutes a casing for a driving spring secured, at one end, to a shaft 21 having a winding key 34, and, at the other end, to the sprocket ; the sprocket comprises two telescoped cup-like members the outer of which carries the sprocket teeth. The shutter comprises an oscillating curved plate 40 enclosed in an arcuate casing 45, and is mounted on arms 42 pivoted at each side of the objective 29. The film chamber, Fig. 1, is separated from a narrower mechanism chamber, Fig. 3, by a partition 10. The spring drives, through a gear 65 provided on the sprocket 20, a pinion 66 on a shaft carrying a pulley 68 driving the take-up spool through a belt 69, the shaft being also provided with a gear 71 meshing with a pinion 72 coaxial with a gear 73 driving a gear 73<1> on a shaft carrying the governor and operating a feed claw 46. The shaft of the pinion 72 also carries a stop plate 56 having a hook-like stop member 57 normally engaged by an arm 58 pivoted at 59 and connected by a link 61 to a plate secured to a spring-controlled release trigger 33. The plate 56 carries a pin 55 connected by a link 54 to a bell-crank 51, and rocks it so that a toothed segment 50 thereon, meshing with a segment 49 on one of the shutter pivots, reciprocates the shutter. The camera is provided with a handle 80 pivotally connected to front and rear finder frames 83, 84 pivoted to the casing and capable of being held flat against the camera top by latches 87.

Abstract: 766,660. Copy-turning: LAYTON, D. A. Jan. 24, 1955 [Jan. 22, 1954], No. 1998/54. Class 83 (3). A lathe tapering and copying attachment adapted for mounting on the lathe carriage and including a slidable tool-carrier having a stylus thereon which is spring-urged into cooperating relationship with a relatively fixed copy-bar to control sliding displacement to the carrier away from and towards a work surface when the carrier is moved therealong, has the tool-carrier and stylus mounted on the lathe carriage through the intermediary of a ball-bearing slide. The attachment comprises a base 1 having a recess 2, Fig. 3, along the undersurface to engage the conventional crossslide bed on the lathe carriage (not shown). The base is enlarged at one end to take a slide 3, Fig. 1, which supports a copy-bar 4 for co-operation with a stylus 5. The copy-bar is anchored to a stationary part of the machine and the stylus slides along it due to the movement of the lathe carriage. The stylus is carried by a block 22 on a plate 18 secured to the ball-bearing slide-member 8. The runways for the ball-bearings 9 are secured to the side walls of a recess 6 in the top of the base, which takes the slide member 8. The latter is urged away from the work to press the stylus into contact with the copy-bar by a spring 12 anchored respectively to the slide 8 and the base 1. The end of the plate 18 away from the stylus carries a tool-holder 19b and tool 20 which are adjustable towards and away from the work in guides on a block 19a controlled by a handle 21a. An adjustable stop 11 limits the outward movement of the slide 8. The attachment may be used for copy-facing when arranged on a lathe . cross-slide. Specification 698,662 is referred to.

Abstract: 286,055. Whiteley, E., and Mould, W. Jan. 27, 1927. Receiving-sets, construction of.-A single-coil electromagnetic relay 9 is provided in the filament circuit of a wireless set 1, and jacks 27 for controlling the set from independent points are so connected that, when one jack is plugged by a plug 28 connected with a loud-speaker or telephones, the relay is actuated and the filament circuit and plate circuit are completed, and when the last jack plug is withdrawn the circuits are broken. When a high-tension eliminator is used it is controlled by a second relay similar to, and actuated from, the first (Fig. 2, not shown). Insertion of the plug connects leads 44, 45, thus putting the coil 11 of the relay in circuit with a low-tension battery 43. The armature 17 is then attracted upwards so that its extension 17<a> contacts with conducting strip 26, thus connecting the low-tension terminals 6, 7 of the set to the low-tension battery in parallel with the relay winding. The plate circuit is completed by a rod 34 on the plug contacting with a strip 29 and a sleeve 35 contacting with a strip 32.
