Patent GB-992610-A (GB)
Title: Roll adjustment means
IPC: B21B31/26
Filed: 1963-09-23
Abstract: 992,610. Rolling. MORGAN CONSTRUCTION CO. Sept. 23, 1963 [Sept. 24, 1962], No. 37317/63. Heading B3M. A rolling mill having a pair of rolls mounted within a frame has roll adjustment apparatus which gives the rolls equal and opposite movement in order to retain a fixed pass line. A mill frame 10 supports rolls 2 and 4 in chocks 12 and 40, the upper chocks having trunnions 16 and 18 mounted in collars formed with first eccentrics 20 and 22 and integral second eccentrics 32 and 34. The eccentrics 20 and 22 are supported by collars 24 and 26 which rest on supports 21 and 23 of the frame such that axial movement of the chocks is allowable. Depending from the eccentrics 32 and 34 are links 36 and 38 within which are supported trunnions of the lower chocks. Integral with the first and second eccentrics are upwardly extending arms 28 and 30, which, when rotated turn the eccentrics to alter the roll pass. Rotation of the first eccentrics moves the trunnions 16 and 18, and hence the upper roll, relative to the frame, while simultaneous rotation of the second eccentrics shifts the links relative to the trunnions. Hence, if the trunnions are moved upwardly one unit the links are moved downwardly two units, since the second eccentrics have double the throw of the first ones, the pass line thus remaining fixed. Rotation of the eccentrics is effected by shifting the tops of arms 30 and 32 by rods 84, one rod being provided for each pair of arms at each end of the rolls. Rotation of hand wheels 78 turns internally threaded members 74 to axially shift the rolls, differential adjustment of the ends thus being possible. When coarse roll adjustment is also desired, third and fourth eccentrics, 98, 100, 102, and 104, Fig. 8, can also be employed, these being mounted on an integral sleeve around each upper roll trunnion and positioned inside the pivot and second eccentrics. In this case the original eccentrics are no longer integral but rotationally keyed together. Discs 112 are rotated to actuate the third and further eccentrics, and pins 116, cooperating with slots 130, lock the discs in position, the first and second eccentrics remaining unaltered. The rolls can, if desired, by mounted vertically. Specification 942,445 is referred to. Reference has been directed by the Comptroller to Specification 942,445.

Abstract: 774,148. Radio direction-finding cathoderay tube circuits. COLLINS RADIO CO. Dec. 29, 1954, No. 37569/54. Class 40(7) In a direction-finder for displaying in polar co-ordinates on a cathode-ray tube 10 the amplitude and azimuth of mainwave radio energy emitted by objects, e.g. celestial bodies, a sinusoidal radial timebase is rotated or oscillated synchronously with a narrow-beam receiving aerial 20 and the amplitude of the timebase is controlled by the received signals. As shown a 500 c/s. output from an oscillator 2b is applied via potentiometer R2 to amplifier V1 whose gain is controlled by the smoother D.C. output from receiver 22 coupled to aerial. 20 which is rotated in azimulth by motor 21; the elevation of aerial 20 is adjustable. The output from VI is applied through amplifier W2 and transformer 29 to the rotor 32 of selsyn 31 which is driven by motor 21 and the resolved outputs from the quadrature station 37, 38 are applied respectively in push-pull to vertical deflection valves V3, V4 and horizontal deflection valves V5 and V6, the deflection coils 42, 43, 44 and 46 constituting the cathode loads of valves V3... V6 which are carried to cut-off in the absence of applied signals. A further output from oscillator 26 is applied in phase to valves V5...V6 and causes them to pass current only during the positive halfcycles of the applied oscillator voltage, the control voltages from stator 37 causing the currents in coils 42 and 43 to vary in a reciprocal manner and the control voltage from stator 38.causing the currents in coils 44 and 46 to vary in a reciprocal manner to produce a radial trace which originates at the centre of the tube screen and rotates synchronously with aerial 20, the radial length of the trace being controlled by the output from receiver 22. The gain of valves V3 ... V6 is balanced by adjustment of the variable resistors in their anode circuits. Potentiometer R2 is adjusted to produce a trace of predetermined length when the aerial is directed in a datum direction. The length of the trace is indicated by concentric circles marked on the screen of the tube and radial azimuth calibration lines are marked round the periphery of the screen, Figs. 1 and 2 (not shown).

Title: Improvements in or relating to means for operating electrical control switches
IPC: H01H29/20
Filed: 1938-12-30
Abstract: 523,306. Mechanical relay and follow-up devices. BRITISH THERMOSTAT CO., Ltd., and MARTIN, J. F. Dec. 30, 1938, Nos. 37866/38 and 7554/39. [Class 118 (ii)] [Also in Group XXXVII] A mercury switch 2 is operated into one or other of its positions by a motordriven reciprocating member 11, the particular position being determined by whether an element 12 on the pointer of an indicating instrument is or is not in a position to be gripped between the member 11 and an actuating member 9 of the switch. The pointer 1 may move in response to variations of temperature and when the temperature is sufficiently high the switch 2 is operated as shown to break a heating circuit. When the pointer 1 moves back to the left, the next oscillation of the member 11 causes it to engage a second actuating member 10 and to move the switch 2 into the " on position. During this action the member 11 moves up into the member 9 which is of an inverted U-shape, and rises to a greater height than it did previously, which it can do owing to a flexible mounting. The member 11 is actuated by the motor through an intermediate reciprocating presser bar. The switch mechanism and the member are adjustably mounted so that they may be swung about the same axis as that of the pointer. The temperature at which the switch operates can thus be varied. The member 12 instead of being fixed to the pointer may be fixed to a member movable with the pointer, Figs. 10 and 11 (not shown). The mercury switch may in a modification have three positions, a step being formed in one of the members 9 and 11, to cause the intermediate horizontal position.
