Title: Sewing machine
IPC: D05B19/02
Filed: 1974-05-24
Abstract: 1463410 Sewing machine with electronic memory SINGER CO 24 May 1974 [5 July 1973] 23257/74 Heading DIG In a sewing machine the bight, of the zigzag is controlled by an electronic memory which holds the pattern and instructs coils 40-44 to change the bight after each stitch in response to an input derived from a pulse generator 90 which generates one pulse each stitch. The pulses index forward a binary counter 91 (Fig. 2) which sends a binary code to the memory 92; this in turn energises selected coils 40-41 according to the pattern required. The coils move a whippletree linkage 39 (Fig. 1) connected to a driver shaft 35 which shifts a drive link 30 to jog the needle sideways. The work feeding mechanism may be connected via a link 63 and another whippletree linkage (not shown) to a second set of coils 70-74 so that the memory can control the feed also. In this case the output from the memory 92 will be held on a latch until the pulse generator indicates the appropriate point in the sewing cycle; at this point the coils are permitted to move the feed control.

Abstract: 352,767. Aircraft and like framework. BOULTON & PAUL, Ltd., Riverside Works, and JOHNSTON, V. J., 5, Boulton Road, Thorpe, both in Norwich. Aug. 6, 1930, No. 23490. [Class 4.] For stiffening hollow members of aircraft &c. where concentrated loads are applied to them, a distance tube of springy material is employed which is split longitudinally to enable its diameter to be temporarily reduced to permit it to be passed through a hole in the hollow member of a diameter equal to or less than the internal diameter of the split tube when expanded. A hollow spar is shown wherein the web members B<1>, B<2> are secured to tubular booms A<1>, A<2> by tubular rivets D<1> passed through split tubular distance pieces E<1>. The edges of the tubes E<1> are caused to overlap to enable them to be passed through the rivet holes or the longitudinal gaps in the tubes may be sufficiently wide to enable the tubes to be passed through the holes with their edges abutting, after which the tubes expand to their normal diameter.

Title: Improvements in and relating to methods of and means for effecting vibration and to apparatus in which vibration is effected
IPC: B28B1/087
Filed: 1935-08-26
Abstract: 463,793. Sifting apparatus. NEWPORT, A. J., and BRADER, G. B. Aug. 26, 1935, No. 23899. [Class 117] [Also in Groups V, XVII, and XXIV] Apparatus for producing vibration in a table or support A is shown diagrammatically in Fig. 1 and comprises a source of vibration such as a revolving eccentric mass E the bearings of which are fixed to a weight D which is carried by a spring C attached to the table A. The latter is supported on weak springs B. The spring C carries a stop member G which abuts against a second spring F when the amplitude of vibration of the spring C exceeds a certain amount. The arrangement is said to render the operation of the apparatus stable, and by adjusting the stop G to alter the gap between it and the spring F the amplitude of vibration of the table A can be varied. Figs. 2 and 4 show an apparatus constructed according to the arrangement shown in Fig. 1. The support for a mould or other object to be vibrated consists of two longitudinal members 4 carrying stays 7 which support a pair of channel members 1 which rest on springs 2 of a foundation 3. Extending between the member 1 are two channel members 8 which correspond to the spring F in Fig. 1. A screw 12 corresponding to the stop G is threaded in a bush 11 secured between the members 8. A member 20 corresponding to the spring C is connected by plates 16 to the members 1. Clamped to the member 20 is a frame 23 in which is mounted a pulley 24 having eccentric flanges 25. The spring 20 carries a plate 15 which abuts against the stop 12 when the amplitude of vibration of the spring 20 exceeds a certain amount, the gap between the parts 12 and 15 being adjustable by turning the screw 12. The apparatus is for use particularly in the manufacture of concrete pipes and in sifting material in vibrating sieves and screens.

Title: Improvements in therapeutic apparatus for treating with vapor any part of the body, particularly the head and hair
IPC: A61H35/00
Filed: 1931-08-29
Abstract: 381,677. Vapour douches. MARTIN BROS. ELECTRIC CO., 1858, East 40th Street, Cleveland, Ohio, U.S.A.-(Assignees of Martin, W. L. ; 1858, East 40th Street, Cleveland, Ohio, U.S.A.) Aug. 29, 1931, No. 24345. Convention date, Jan. 16. [Class 81 (ii).] Therapeutic apparatus for treating the body, particularly the head and hair, with vapour, has circulating means, such as a fan, for setting up an air stream and means for injecting vapour into the air stream, said circulating means operating to recover part, but not all, of the stream and to recirculate the recovered part. A casing 14, supported with its mouth 88 opening obliquely downwards, is fitted within a support 17 having a sleeve 21 accommodating a motor 22 driving a centrifugal fan 26. An inner shell 29, secured to the casing 14 at the edge 80, is formed with apertures 31 and an opening 34 covered by a screen 35 and disposed beneath the fan 26. An annular heater 37 is supported on lugs 20. A steam generator 42 has a pipe 43 leading into the space between the shell 29 and fan 26, its end 46 being in line with the axis of the fan. Secured within the base of the generator is an enclosed heating coil 48 connected to terminals 51, 52, the latter being connected to a terminal 82 by a fusible metal strip. On the opposite side of the supporting bracket 11 is a vessel 53, communicating with the generator 42 by a pipe 84, and accommodating an inverted water supply bottle 59 which rests on the shoulder 56 and has a stopper 61 and ring 62, which latter engages the base of the vessel 53 to unseat the stopper. A float 63 within the vessel 57 has lost motion connection with a lever 85 operating a switch 66. The motor 22 and heaters 37, 48 are connected in parallel and simultaneously energized by means of a rotary switch 67. The switch 66 and the fusible strip are both in series with the coil 48 so that failure of the water supply operates the switch through the float control to cut out this coil, while if the float control fails to operate, the fuse melts. In operation, the fan 26 sucks air in through the mouth of the shell 29, mixes it with steam, and discharges it over the heater 37, through the passage 32 and apertures 31 to the point of use, when it is recirculated. Condensate passes by a pipe 58 to the vessel 57. The Specification as open to inspection under Sect. 91 (3) (a) states that the apparatus is particularly designed for treating the face and head. This subject-matter does not appear in the Specification as accepted.
