Title: Improvements in knitting machines
IPC: D04B9/06
Filed: 1931-06-23
Abstract: 377,792. Knitting. OUDIETTE, M., 71, Avenue Jean JaurÞs, Romilly-sur-Seine, France. June 23, 1931, No. 18158. Convention date, July 3, 1930. [Class 74 (ii).] For producing toe and heel pockets for stockings &c. on circular knitting-machines, the knitting cams are furnished with a pair of down-throw pickers 3 and, in place of upthrow pickers, with a pair of inclined discs .5 geared to the needles. Each disc carries on its upper face a removable plate 9 the inside of which is hollowed out to form a series of stops 11 of various heights connected by arcs of circles 10. When the lowest stop is against a pivoted finger 13, as shown, the disc is in a neutral position and presents a peripheral gap 7 to the line of short-butted needles. When the finger is moved, under pattern control, away from the stop the disc is turned by a spring until arrested by another stop. During the first subsequent reciprocation in the reverse direction the disc lifts a group of short-butted needles into an idle track until its neutral position is again reached, when it is held by a catch. The number of needles lifted depends on the previous angular displacement of the disc. The needles thus placed out of action are brought down gradually by the pickers 3 to form a fashioned heel or toe pouch. Figs. 20-25 (not shown) illustrate heels and toes of stockings &c. producible by the invention.

Abstract: 613,343. Fire-extinguishing. GRAVINER MANUFACTURING CO., Ltd., and MATHISEN, A. June 21, 1946, No. 18680. [Class 47 (ii)] [Also in Group XXXVII] A fire-prevention system for aircraft incorporates an inertia or impact-operated electric switch which is mounted adjacent the surface skin 13 of the aircraft, and puts fire-extinguishing apparatus into operation in the event of a crash. A pendulum 2, 3, is pivotally supported by a ball 4 within a frangible hood 17 clamped between a fixed frame 16 screwed to the skin 13, and a frame 12 held to the frame 16 by a screw 14 and a hinge 15. A ball 7 on an extension 2a of the shaft 2, engages the crater surface of a switch-closure -member 8 holding it in the open position against the pressure of a spring 9. The movable contacts 10 are mounted on an insulating support 11 on the member 8. If the pendulum is subjected to inertia forces or to direct impact, the ball 7 will ride over the rim of the crater in the member 8 allowing; the spring 9 to bring the contacts together, thereby energizing an electromagnetic relay z, Fig. 4, which operates the fire-extinguishing apparatus. Toprevent unwanted. inertia operation of the switch, a pin 24 attached to an armature 23 and urged downwards by a spring 29, engages in a hole in the ball 7. The switch is unlocked by energizing the solenoid 26 by---a---manually or inertiaoperated switch j ; also the pin 24 will shear if submitted to a severe impact. In Fig: 3, the switch is mounted on a structure-member 44 inside the surface skin and a cone 54 mounted on a relatively-weak part 53 of the skin deflects an impact-detecting rod 35 when the part 53 becomes distorted. The rod 35 is pivoted about a ball 34 held between the spring- loaded plates 38; 42, and is balanced so as to be unaffected by inertia. Displacement of a stud 36 attached to the ball 34 releases the spring-urged closure member 45, and brings the contacts 20, 47, together. The fireextinguishing containers f, g, Fig. 4, are, operated by a relay h actuated by the magnetic relay z controlled by the inertia or impact switches e or a crash switch i. Operation is also possible by push-button switches m should the warning lamps l controlled by a flame detector k be alight. Discharge of the container g is delayed by a switch n.

Abstract: 881,053. Sensing record cards. INTER. NATIONAL BUSINESS MACHINES CORPORATION. May 30, 1960 [May 29, 1959], No. 19058/60. Class 106 (1).  A drum for holding a record card so that it can be repetitively presented to a data sensing station comprises an incomplete cylindrical body, a clamp member 12, Fig. 5, clamping the edges of the card and having an outside surface forming a continuation of that of the body. The card 10 is located on pins 11L, 11R, Fig. 2, on the body portion. The drum has six conducting surfaces or fields 13A-13F each insulated from the others and connected by a corresponding commutator ring 15A-15F. The clamp 12 is controlled by two camming shafts 16, 17 to the ends of each of which are attached clamping springs 18, Fig. 2, and which carry eccentric portions so that when the shafts are rotated by handles 22 the clamp is lifted to allow the record to be removed or inserted. Locking rings 24L, 24R encircling the ends of the clamp have portions of their inside surfaces cut away so that in one position they allow the clamps to be lifted and in another they prevent such movement by engaging them with a wedging action. The clamp is longitudinally located on studs projecting from the end collars 20L, 20R. These allow the clamp to rock as one or the other of the lifting shafts is rotated. The body core 26 is formed of an insulating material and the contact plates 13A-13F for the different card fields are held in position by a layer of cement 32 and by screws 33. As the drum rotates the card is repetitively sensed by brushes 8 which pass through holes in the card and make contact with the underlying plates 13A-13F. In use the drum is mounted on a card sorter and driven synchronously with the card feed so that the card on the drum can be compared index point by index point with each card passing through the sensing station of the sorter.
