Title: A combined mileage or revolution recording and servicing indicating device for use with vehicle or machines
IPC: G06M3/02
Filed: 1946-09-02
Abstract: 616,444. Counting-apparatus; speedometers. ALLMAN PATENTS, Ltd., and ALLMAN E. J. Sept. 2, 1946, No. 26374. [Classes 106 (i) and 106 (iii)] In a mileage recorder or other counting instrument of the kind having indicator drums of which those subsequent to the units drum are freely mounted on a common shaft, on which the units drum is rigidly mounted, and having cam discs between the drums for effecting transfer operations, the cam discs of high order drums engage selector cams when a pre-determined reading is reached and these selector cams move other cams into position where they are engaged by the common shaft and thus actuate indicators showing that lubrication or other procedure is required. The invention is described as applied to a combined speedometer and mileage recorder having drums D on the common shaft S and trip cam discs C between them, and shows two indicator mechanisms. Whenever a predetermined reading is attained the appropriate cam disc C engages a selector cam 12 or 12<1> arranged on a shaft 13 or 13<1> and turns the shaft so that an operating cam 14 or 14<1> is also turned and its horn 14a is carried into the path of a pin 19 or 19<1> on an associated operating disc 18 or 18<1>. The operating disc is rigidly carried on the shaft S and is thus rotating rapidly with the units drum so that the pin 19 engages the horn 14a and turns the cam 14 so that the other horn 14b engages a stem 35a on a forked pawl lever 35 which operates a ratchet wheel 27 and a connected backing plate 30 by means of a pawl 37, a second pawl 42 preventing return motion. The wheel 27 turns until a gap 29 in its rim 26 comes opposite a slidable pin 21 on a signal plate lever 4, when the lever 4 swings about a pivot 6 under the action of a spring 28. A signal plate 1 pivotally attached at 8 to the lever 4 thus moves inwards and exposes an indication through a window 2. Meanwhile the pin 19 has passed beyond the horn 14a so that the lever 35 is returned by springs 38 and 43. To re-set the signal plate lever 4 the end of its foot 5 is pressed inwards and the chamfered end 25 of the slidable pin 21 rides over the rim 26 of the ratchet wheel 27 and snaps back into place. A T-lever 46 may be provided for resetting or re-setting keys may be built into the drain plug or other part of the machine. The signal plates 4 may be replaced by shutters which obscure or reveal a fixed indication or may carry electric contacts 47, 47<1> which move to contact fixed plates 48, 48<1> and complete an electric circuit.

Abstract: 1,101,530. Moulding-machines. NATIONAL ACME CO. 14 June, 1966 [15 June, 1965], No. 26520/66. Heading B3F. [Also in Division B8] A moulding machine comprises a rotatable assembly 14 having oppositely disposed mould boxes 26, 27 mounted thereon, the top mould box 26 being in a pressing station 31 beneath a heated press 16 for compressing and at least partially curing a moulding sand composition in the mould box 26, and the bottom mould box 27 being in an inverted position in a discharge position 32 above a transfer mechanism 55, 52. The transfer mechanism comprises a motor 62 driven conveyer comprising a plurality of spaced apart horizontally moving ribbons 61 through the intervening gaps of which are raised strips 55 mounted in a pressure cylinder 54 driven plate 57. In operation after a mould has been pressed and partially cured the rotatable assembly 14 is rotated to present the mould at the discharge station 32. The plate 57 is raised and the strips 55 pass between the ribbons 61 of the conveyer to be closely adjacent the mould box 27. A stripper plate (41) (Fig. 2, not shown), having stripper pins (45), is moved by pressure cylinders 43 or 43A to eject the mould from the mould box on to the raised strips 55. During this process the pressure fluid control (Fig. 3, not shown) allows, through a restrictor (93), the pressure cylinder 54 to be forced downwards by the stripper pressure cylinders 43 or 43A until the mould is completely free of the mould box 27. The plate 57 is then fully retracted to lower the mould on to the conveyer ribbons 61 to be transported horizontally out from the machine. The moulding composition, e.g. sand with a resin binder, is fed into the mould box 26 from a hopper 15 by means of a transfer box (36) moved by pressure cylinder (37) to a position over the said box 26 along guides 35.

Filed: 1964-06-30
Abstract: 1,006,539. Making grids; brazing; winding. GENERAL ELECTRIC CO. June 30, 1964 [Aug. 7, 1963], No. 27037/64. Headings B3A, B3E and B3R. [Also in Division H1] A frame grid for an electric discharge tube (see Division H1), having a rectangular frame with the ends of the grid wire bonded to the transverse frame members, e.g. of molybdenum having a nickel cladding, at points intermediate its ends, is manufactured by mounting the frame, 11, on a mandrel 14 rotatable by a chuck 18, the grid wire 12, of tungsten, being moved along guides 26, 28 by the grip 24 until it lies against one of the transverse frame members, whereafter electrodes 30, 32 are advanced to hold the wire in place, and briefly energized to melt the nickel cladding of the frame member and bond the wire to it. After retraction of the electrodes, the mandrel 14 is rotated, to break the end of the wire held by the grip 24, and to wind the wire helically on the frame (Fig. 3, not shown) by simultaneous axial movement of the guide 28. Upon completion of the winding, the rotation is stopped with the frame horizontal, the turret 41 is moved to the right, and the frame rotated a further 90 degrees, to ensure that the wire passes flat over the second transverse frame member, whereafter it is bonded to the latter. Grip 24 is then moved to grip the wire beyond the bond, the wire being subsequently broken by the leftward movement of the turret 41 to permit the removal of the frame from the mandrel. Scrap pieces of wire may be removed by the vacuum system 37.

Title: Phase Discriminators
IPC: H03D13/00
Filed: 1968-06-07
Abstract: 1,198,155. Phase comparators; transistor ramp generators. AMPEX CORP. 7 June, 1968 [7 June, 1967], No. 27297/68. Headings H3A and H3T. A phase discriminator comprises: means 28, 29, 38 for generating a first ramp signal in response to the leading edge of a first input pulse signal applied at terminal 13; means 26, 27, 37 for generating a second ramp signal in response to the leading edge of a second input pulse signal applied at terminal 12; means 47 for sampling the first ramp signal when the second ramp signal attains a predetermined value; and means 64, 66 to inhibit a change in level of the sampled signal during sampling. Each ramp generator comprises a capacitor 27, 29 charged from a constant current source 26, 28, the charging currents being controlled by a signal at terminal 14. Before the application of an input pulse on line 13 transistor 38 is conductive and capacitor 29 is charged to - 3V. When an input pulse is applied, transistor 38 cuts off, and the potential changes linearly towards + 12V. The application of the other pulse on input 12 similarly causes capacitor 27 to change its potential until reaches a potential, e.g. earth, suitable to switch the state of level detector 22. The output from 22 is differentiated to produce a pulse which switches off transistor 42. The resulting negative pulse at the collector of 42 cuts off diode 64, allowing diode 66 to conduct and clamp the emitter of transistor 28 to - 12V., thus stopping the change in potential of capacitor 29. At the same time, the negative pulse opens gate 47 to allow capacitor 19 to sample the potential across capacitor 29, which is proportional to the phase difference between the two pulses.

Title: Improvements in or relating to a process of deodorizing glyceride oils and products resulting therefrom
IPC: C11B3/14
Filed: 1949-10-25
Abstract: Edible glyceride oils are deodorized by subjecting a shallow pool of the oil to a number of steam treatments under vacuum at progressively lower temperatures, the first treatment being effected at a temperature not less than 500 DEG F. and the final treatment at a temperature not higher than about 350 DEG F.  The oil may first be alkali-refined or solvent-extracted.  As shown, oil from a tank 10 is passed through a constant-level deaerating tank 11 to a heater 17, where it is heated under vacuum and agitated by steam from a perforated pipe.  The oil is then progressively heated in annular heaters 19, 20, 21, preferably to 525-575 DEG F., and is then delivered through a pipe 27 to the deodorizing chamber 26, shown in detail in Fig. 2, where it forms a shallow pool, e.g. of 10-20 inches depth, below a perforated plate 31.  Steam is introduced through small holes in the pipe 30 and vapours are drawn off through baffled openings <PICT:0701633/III/1> <PICT:0701633/III/2> 29.  The oil then passes alternately through coolers 39, 42 and 44 and chambers 41, 43 and 46 (similar to the chamber 26) in which it is treated again with steam under vacuum, and finally the oil is cooled in a cooler 47 and passed to a storage tank 48.  The vapours withdrawn from the chamber 26 pass first to a condenser 51, condensate from which is collected in a tank 52.  Residual vapours from the condenser 51 are passed through vacuum-boosters 54, 55 to jet condensers 56, 57, uncondensed residue from which in discharged through vacuum-boosters 58, 59.  The condensate and water are collected in a tank 68.  The vapours withdrawn from the chambers 41, 43 and 46 pass to a vacuum-manifold 60 cooled by a jacket 621 and connected to a vacuum-booster 62 which discharges into the condenser 56.  Condensate forming in the vacuum manifold 60 is collected in a tank 63.  The condensates in the tanks 52, 63 and 68 may be withdrawn separately, or those in the tanks 52 and 63 may be pumped to the tank 68, from which a single condensate is then withdrawn.  Tocopherols, sterols, vitamins and fatty acids are recoverable from the condensate(s). The process is described with reference to the treatment of soya-bean oil, which may be hydrogenated after the deodorizing treatment described above and then deodorized again under milder conditions.  Other oils which may be treated are cotton-seed, corn, peanut, sunflower-seed and sesame-seed oils and fish oils. Specifications 701,631 and 701,632 are referred to.
