Title: Improved Method and Means for Testing the Electrical Resistance of Metal Bodies.
Inventor: SAREL COLIN ALFRED MOLYNEUX
IPC: G01R27/02
Filed: 1912-11-20
Granted: 1913-10-23
Abstract: 26,639. Sarel, C. A. M. Nov. 20. Electric separators.-In apparatus for automatically separating or assorting metal bodies such as firing-tubes for guns, according to their electrical resistance, the tubes are fed to means such as a drum by which they are inserted in one arm of a wheatstone bridge, and are discharged into one of two or more receptacles. The tubes x, Fig. 2, are fed singly from a hopper 4 to a recess 6 in the drum 5, which is rotated through gearing by hand or otherwise, so that the tube falls on to a platform 12, Fig. 4. Connexion is then made with a bridge on one end of the tube by means of a contact b, Fig. 5, the other connexion being made through the frame and drum. The tube is thus inserted in one arm of a wheatstone bridge shown in Fig. 1, and if the resistance is within the required limits, the tube is discharged into one receptacle, when the platform 12 is lowered by means of a slotted link 15 operated by a projection on the drum, but if outside the limits, a relay g closes the circuit of an electro-magnet h operating an armature to release a flap 31, which deflects the tube into another receptacle. A catch on the armature normally engages with a pin 39 on an arm 34 to hold the flap in the position shown in dotted lines, and when the catch is released the flap is moved downwards by a spring. The arm is raised into engagement with the catch by an arm 35 having a lug 36 engaged by a projection 38 on the drum spindle. A lamp i is connected in series with the electro-magnet to indicate the condition of the circuit. The apparatus may-be modified so as to separate the rejected tubes of high and low resistance. For this purpose the relay g is provided with two contacts controlling two electro-magnets. The arm 34 is connected with a slotted link 46, Fig. 9, engaging with a pin 48 on a sliding rod 45<a>. If the resistance is high, one electro-magnet is energized, and the arm 34 causes the rod 45<a> to move the flap 45 into the position shown in dotted lines by means of a pin 49 and a slotted plate 50. The movement of the rod 45<a> is limited bv a projection 53 engaging with a stud 52 on the armature of a second electro-magnet. If the resistance is low, this electro-magnet is also energized and attracts the stud, thereby allowing the rod 45<a> to continue its movement and the pin 48 working in a slot 47 causes the flap 31 to be operated.
