[Also in Group XVI] In a platen press wherein tool plate is transferable in a horizontal direction from a position in which it is supported by a platen to a position clear of the platen and vice versa, there is provided a support structure dimensioned to support the plate for a transfer movement from the platen into a position wherein the plate is supported entirely by the structure and vice versa, and lift means for moving the structure relative to the platen in a vertical direction. Positioned between side frames 1, 2, Figs. 1, 2, 3 and 5, is a platen 3, Figs. 4 and 5, carrying a chase 4 with a cutting forme 5 and a vertically reciprocable platen 6 carrying a cutting plate 7. Doors 9, 10 provided with rollers 21, 22 are hinged by lugs 13 to lugs 14 on slides 11 supported for vertical movement in guides 12 on the frames 1, 2. The doors are moved vertically by an electric motor 19 driving screws 16 engaging nuts 15 on the slides 11. To remove the chase 4 or plate 7 from the machine, the doors are opened to the position of Fig. 5, moved into horizontal alignment with the member to be removed, the member slid on to the rollers, and lowered by the doors on to a trolley 23 for wheeling away. The hinge lugs 13 are formed with keyways 24 engaging keys 25 on the guides 12 when the doors are open, the keys extending so far upwardly that the doors can be closed only when they are above the transfer level for the chase 4. Short keys are provided engaging the keyways of the upper lugs of the doors when the upper lugs are above the keys 25 and the lower lugs are still in engagement. The doors are closed during operation of the press and act as a safety guard, and in this position the rollers 22 are received by cut-outs in the door 9.

Abstract: 805,991. Hinges and pivots. ELANDBRANDT N.V. March 15,1957, No. 8699/57. Class 65(2) A friction hinge for a window rotatable about a horizontal axis comprises a plate 7 secured to the window sash 8 and a plate 9 secured to the window frame 10, the plates being relatively rotatable about a bolt 11 and the plate 9 carrying an intermediate plate 12 which is prevented from rotating relative thereto and is urged towards the plate 7 by a spring 15. The opposing faces of the plates 7, 12 are each provided with conical friction faces 18, 16 and raised sector-shaped friction faces 17, 19 bounded by bevelled flanks. The arrangement is such that when the window is turned from its closed position the conical friction faces are in engagement and provide great friction, but on reaching the position 4, Fig. 2, these faces are disengaged by the engagement of the flanks of the sector-shaped faces which abut and slide over each other and urge the plate 12 away from the plate 7. A smaller friction effect to resist movement is then provided by the faces 17, 19 until the window reaches the position 5, when the sectorshaped 'faces slide off each other and the conical friction faces again come into contact and arrest the motion. An ornamental cover 20 is provided.

Filed: 1930-03-18
Abstract: 344,240. Spinning-spindle apparatus. PAUL, M., Waidhofen, Ybbs, Austria. March 18, 1930, No. 8721. Convention date, March 20, 1929. [Class 120 (ii).] Eddy current brakes for bobbins of spinning and doubling machines have their braking effect adjusted by varying the position of the magnetic poles relative to the brake disc. The brake disc f rotates between the poles g, g<1> of one or more electromagnets. The braking effect is varied by displacing the poles so that the area of overlap between the poles and the disc is altered, or when several magnets are used, by altering the angle alpha between them. The braking effect may also be varied by adjusting the pole gap. Each method of adjustment may be used alone or in conjunction with any other method, e.g. varying the current intensity in the exciter coil.
