[Also in Division B8] In a wool baling press, charges of wool are transferred from a filling box 1 to a compression or bale box 2 by an hydraulically operated plunger 8, each successive charge being retained within the bale box by spring-biased fingers 39 which project into the interior of the filling box. The bale box is carried by trunnions 17 upon the triangular brackets 19 fixed to a movable frame 20 so as to be pivotable to a horizontal (Fig. 1) and a vertical (Fig. 4) position, the box being locked in either position by pins 23. The box is hinged along three edges by hinges 26, the fourth edge being locked by U-members 28 and co-operating bars 31 mounted upon sides 2b and 2a respectively. The bearings 18 are oversized so as to allow the side walls 2b to move outwards upon release of the locking mechanism to facilitate easy removal of the bale. In operation a bale sack 36 and a primary charge of wool are placed in the bale box and the box locked in a horizontal position to the filling box. A charge of wool is introduced into the filling box, the lid 13 closed and the plunger forwarded to transfer the charge to the bale box. The fingers 39 are forced outwards by the wool as in Fig. 2 (not shown). Upon further forward movement of the plunger the fingers 39 pass into slots 43 in the plunger and move back into the box under the influence of springs 42, and retain the charge within the bale box upon retraction of the plunger. Further charges of wool are transferred to the bale box in a similar manner, a plate 16 and bale sack top 35a being interposed between the final charge and the plunger which is then moved forward and retained in the forward position. Gripping members 45, mounted upon the bale box, are then swung into the filling box to engage and grip the plate 16, the bale box then being removed and pivoted to a vertical position as shown in Fig. 4. The bale sack top 36a and the bale sack are then sewn together, the bale box opened for removal of the bale and the process repeated. A pressure relief valve in the hydraulic control circuit is adjusted to operate under a pressure which indicates the required amount of wool is in the bale box.

Abstract: 1427405 Parallel operation of converters ALLMANNA SVENSKA ELEKTRISKA AB 9 July 1973 [10 July 1972] 32508/73 Heading H2F A converter station, e.g. for HVDC power transmission, comprises two parallel converters, each provided with a current regulator which is adjusted to give a predetermined load distribution between the two converters, each including upper and lower limit circuits for the control angle and each provided with means responsive to the current distribution between the converters arranged to reduce the lower limit of control angle in the least loaded converter when the deviation from the normal current distribution exceeds a certain threshold, e.g. due to a commutation fault in one converter. Fig. 3 shows part of a control system for the two converters, the direct current of which is respectively monitored by transductors 16 and 23 and compared with reference voltages from potentiomerers 26, 27. The system is arranged so that the AND gate 30 or 31 associated with the more lightly loaded converter passes a signal to trigger a monostable flip-flop 32 which temporarily reduces the minimum control angle limit from 18. A further monostable 34 is arranged to increase the current order in the current regulator 13 in order to avoid oscillations in the direct current. The upper limits of control angle may be temporarily limited by way of an OR gate 38 and derivative circuit 39. A further circuit 42 which compares the current or powers on the A.C. and D.C. sides and a circuit 43 as described in Specification 1,228,867 for detecting partial or possible commutation faults may be included to inhibit gate 30 in the event of possible or complete commutation failure in one converter. This inhibition only has effect on the overall system when commutation failure occurs in both converters.
