Title: Control apparatus
IPC: D06F34/00
Filed: 1953-05-26
Abstract: 726,019. Clothes drying apparatus; temperature-responsive actuating-elements. RANCO, Inc. May 26, 1953 [June 4, 1952], No. 14615/53. Classes 34 (2) and 64 (2). [Also in Group XXXVII] A control device, especially for the heater and motor of a clothes drier, comprises two control members adapted to be held closed by a single latch which can be pivoted about two different axes so as to release the contacts in succession. As shown applied to a switch, two pairs of contact springs 19, 20 and 21, 22 are arranged to be closed by a spring-urged pivoted lever 40 when a push-button 55 is depressed. Depression of the upper contacts 19, 21 moves projections 78, 79 thereon below the lower surface of a latch 60 which is rotated about a pin 61 by a spring 76 to overlie the projections and so hold the contacts closed. The pin 61 is supported in a lever 65 pivoted at 70 and urged clockwise by a spring (not shown). The pin 70 also carries a spring-urged lever 82 which carries a depending stop 81 arranged to be engaged by the latch 60 as it overlies the contacts, Fig. 5. A thermal element 105 has a plunger 106 which moves to the right on temperature increase thereby moving the lever 65 and latch 60 bodily to the right. The latch 60 is thereby-caused to pivot counter-clockwise about the stop 81 to release the projection 78 and allow the contact springs 19, 20 to separate at, e.g. between 150 to 200 F. The heater is thus de-energised and the plunger 106 is retracted so that lever 65 and the latch 60 are moved back clockwise about pivot 70. During this movement, latch 60 engages the side of, and pivots about, the projection 78, thereby releasing the projection 79 and allowing the other contacts to open the motor circuit, e.g. at 135 F. The stop 81 may be adjusted by a cam 86, and the plunger 106 engages a factoryadjusted screw 107 in lever 65. The latch may alternatively be released by a clock. Temperature-responsive actuating-elements. The element 105 comprises a plunger 106 reciprocable in a cylinder 110 containing a rubber member 112, the interior of which is connected to a capillary tube 111 containing expansible liquid,

Filed: 1928-05-25
Abstract: 291,400. Westinghouse Electric & Manufacturing Co., (Assignees of Elsey, H. M. and Krogh, A. T.). June 1, 1927, [Convention date]. Vacuum tubes.- A coating material for a thermionic cathode consists of a mixture of one or more compounds of the alkaline earth metals and a vehicle which is volatile below 200 C. and capable of providing a reducing atmosphere when heated, the mixture containing no binding ingredient; the coated core is heated in carbon dioxide. The vehicle may consist of organic alcohols, aldehydes, and ketones. The compound may consist of hydrazide salts, or carbonates, or mixtures of these salts, for example, equal molecular proportions of carbonates of barium and strontium. The material is mixed with 95-100 per cent methyl or ethyl alcohol, but an alcohol containing 10 per cent of water may be used without oxidizing a core metal, for example, of nickel. Denatured alcohol containing 10 per cent of methyl alcohol, 85 per cent of ethyl alcohol, and 5 per cent of water is suitable. The proportion of vehicle is varied according to the thickness of coating required. The core wire is passed through the coating material and through a closed furnace containing carbon dioxide where it is heated to 200-1000 to evaporate the vehicle. The alcohol vapour provides a reducing atmosphere throughout the coating. The process may be repeated to obtain a thicker coating. After mounting in a valve, the wire is heated to convert the carbonate into oxide. Specification 279,890 is referred to.

Abstract: 1532741 Shutter timing mechanism SEIKO KOKI KK 14 April 1977 [15 April 1976] 15540/77 Heading G2A A shutter mechanism has means for adjusting the position of the fulcrum 14a of a lever 14 to provide a first range of exposure times and for moving lever 14 to an inoperative position to provide a second range of longer exposure times. Upon shutter release an operating member 7 rotates ACW (anti-clockwise) to release a first pawl 4 which allows an opening member 3 to rotate CW and open the shutter. If lever 14 has been set to a time in the first range, then member 3 pushes a lever 12 CW which pushes lever 14 ACW to release a second pawl 6 for closing the shutter. If lever 14 has been set to its inoperative position it misses pawl 6, and member 3 releases a third pawl 15 to allow a lever 25, Fig. 5, to rotate CW and release pawl 6. In the mechanism shown there are six exposure time ranges set by cams (30 abc) Fig. 3 (not shown) coupled to a speed dial. (a) 1/1000, 1/500 and 1/250 sec. are obtained by adjusting the position of the fulcrum 14a, for the other ranges lever 14 is moved to its inoperative position. (b) 1/12 is obtained using lever 25 as described above. (c) 1/60 is obtained by slowing lever 25 using a wheel 16, Fig. 5, coupled to a gear train (17, 18, 19) Fig. 2 (not shown) (d) 1/30, 1/15, # are obtained by moving an anchor (20) into engagement with the gear train and adjusting the start position of wheel 16. (e) , ¢, 1 sec. are obtained using a second anchor (21) as well. (f) bulb exposures are obtained by moving a bulb lever (28) Fig. 3 (not shown) into the path of a lever (26) Fig. 6 (not shown) which blocks movement of the wheel 16 until the shutter button is released.

Abstract: 421,034. Grading eggs &c. by weighing. JUSTEAU, Y., 14, Rue de Clichy, Paris. May 25, 1934, No. 15629. Convention date, July 29, 1933. [Class 143] Relates to an apparatus for automatically sorting eggs &c. by weight, of the kind wherein the eggs are placed in counterbalanced weighing receptacles connected together to form a continuous conveyer and are discharged from the receptacles through pivoted bases opened by the action of stops carried on a stationary wall. The invention consists in mounting the stops so that they may be slid vertically by the operation of an external control, and thus placed at any required height between two extreme points, even whilst the apparatus is working. As shown in Fig. 1, each weighing receptacle 1, fulcrumed on a shaft 2 carries a resiliently mounted rod 5 the end of which moves adjacent a stationary wall 4 as the weighing receptacle is carried along by the conveyer. At different stations along the wall are arranged stops 7, 7<1>, 7<11> each adjustable in height against a graduated scale by means of a screw 11, Fig. 3. The weight of the egg depresses the receptacle, and the rod 5 strikes one of the stops 7, 71 or 7<11> corresponding to the extent of depression, causing the rod to turn and liberate a hinged part 14, Fig. 5, of the base. The egg then falls out into its grade compartment. The weighing receptacles are shaped as shown in Fig. 5 so that the eggs roll to a gap e at the bottom. A felt or rubber lining 14<1> absorbs shock.
