Title: Improvements relating to mechanism for the production of sheetmetal receptacles having a wireless hinged joint between the body and lid
IPC: B21D51/26
Filed: 1922-01-31
Abstract: 198,397. Berry Hinge, Ltd., and Berry, G. W. Jan. 31, 1922. Hinges. - Relates to machines for making wireless hinges on sheetmetal receptacles as described in Specifications 100,589, 105,077, 105,228, and 105,768 and consists in making all the parts, which contact with the blanks adjustable so that the machine can complete at each operation one or a number of receptacles of any size within the limits of the machine. The feed shoots 1, 2, Figs. 4 and 5, for pairs of bodies x and lids y comprise guides 10, 10<a>, 14, 14<a> carried adjustably by arms 7, 7<a>, 15, 15<a>, walls 4, and brackets 3, 3a from the frame d. Shafts 13, 13<a> mounted in the guides carry adjustable fingers 27, 27a each of which releases blanks singly when oscillated by projection 34<c>, Fig. 5<a>, on a reciprocating rod 35<a> acting through bell crank 24, rack 22, sector 21, arms 19, 19<a> and adjustable link 20. In order to assist in making the adjustments the bell crank 24 may also be operated by a projection 34, shaft 28, and a handle 31, in one position of which the projection 34<c> fails to engage the crank 24 so that automatic feed cannot take place. If single blanks are to be fed the guides 14, 14<a> are removed and fingers 27, 27<a> arranged half way between the adjusted guides 10, 10<a>. From the shoots the blanks are fed to the dies through adjustable guides 40, 41, 45, Fig. 8, by fingers 35b of the required size adjustably fixed to bars 35, 35<a> reciprocated by a cam. These guides are mounted on the pad and ejector slides e so that they move the blanks laterally to allow the return of the fingers 35b. The device for applying the lids y, Figs. 9 and 11, to the bodies x may have two holders 80, 81 both adjustably carried by a pivoted arm 82 the former being fixed but the latter slidable and pressed away from the former by a spring 89. During the assembling movement of the lever 82 a cam 92 allows the holders to separate until arrested by a stop 80<a> when in line with the bodies x. Alignment is also assisted by a guide 107. Variation in the stroke of the lever 82 is obtained by connecting the cam operated link 100 to it by a screw adjustment 99<a>. For dealing with single receptacles the holders 80, 81 are both fixed and the guide 107 is removed'. The assembled receptacles are ejected and received in a raceway 110, Fig. 2, which has a light spring 114 for closing the lids. The dies I<a> and III<a>, Fig. 2, and associated parts are arranged for dealing with receptacles singly but the dies II<a> &c. are arranged for pairs. Specification 204,281 is referred to.

Filed: 1940-02-20
Abstract: 539,787. Staling speed indicators. BAYNES, L. E., and MUNTZ & CO., Ltd., A. Feb. 20, 1940, No. 3215. [Class 4] An instrument for indicating to a pilot of an aircraft when he is approaching stalling speed comprises two pointers, one of which indicates the flying speed and the other the stalling speed under the conditions prevailing, for which purpose the latter is subject to a correction proportional to the square root of the wing loading. A lever 11 having a weight 10 counterbalanced by a spring 15 is geared to a plate 19 having a cam slot 20 in which works a follower geared to a pointer 30, the cam slot being so shaped that the movements of the pointer are proportional to the square root of the accelerations produced by turning or pulling out of a dive. Alternatively the connections of the spring 15 may ensure this result. The gearing is chosen to cause the movements of the pointer to indicate flying speeds, the pointer being set to indicate normally the stalling speed for steady flight so that increases in the stalling speed are directly indicated. A second pointer 31 indicates the actual flying speed and means may be provided for giving an audible or flash signal should the two pointers approach one another to within a dangerous limit. The instrument may be marked also to give direct readings of the value of apparent gravity so that the pilot is warned of approaching " black out conditions.

Title: New or improved operating and supporting means for use in connection with the sliding lights of carriage windows
IPC: E05F11/38
Filed: 1920-02-04
Abstract: 162,785. Barnett, J. H. Feb. 4, 1920. Holders for sliding windows.-Carriage-window holding and operating means comprise a bar 12 actuated by a handle 1 and engaging a slot 17 to raise and lower the window, and spring-pressed bars 21 carried on parallel links 23 which frictionally engage and hold the window. The bar 12 is actuated by the handle 1, spindle 2, and slotted disc 11 engaged by two studs 13 at the pivoted end of the bar. The handle 1 is pivoted to the spindle 2 and has a hooked end engaging a boss 10 fixed to the bracket 6 so that a longitudinal movement may be imparted to the spindle and disc 11 to rotate a bar 18 with turned-over ends engaging the holding-bars 21. A pull on the handle 1 raises the bars 21 and frees the window, and subsequent rotation raises or lowers the window. In a modification, Fig. 5, the disc 11 is spring-pressed against the rod 12 and engaged therewith by conical studs 36, so that on rotation the disc rides on the coned edge and operates the bar 18. In a further modification, the spindle 2 is axially fixed by a boss 38, Fig. 6, and has a transverse pin 40 engaging U- shaped grooves in a spring-pressed boss on the rod. The initial rotation causes the boss to move longitudinally and rotate the bar 18. A counterbalancing spring 29 may be provided attached to the frame and to an extension of the rod 12. The links 23 that carry the holders 21 may be pivoted on pins in adjustable plates 25.

Patent GB-539859-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in or relating to thermionic amplifiers
IPC: H03G3/22
Filed: 1940-02-24
Abstract: 539,859. Valve amplifying circuits. COOPER, A. H. Feb. 24, 1940, No. 3491. [Class 40 (v)] [Also in Group XXXIX] In an amplifier for a music-distributing system, the 'input circuit includes a potential divider consisting of fixed resistances 14, 7 and the anode-cathode space of a valve 11 which is adjusted in accordance with the output current so that when the latter decreases, because of a reduction of the number of listeners and consequent increase in the impedance of the load, the input to the amplifier decreases also. Preferably this effect is produced only when the impedance of the load is comparatively low. When it is high, the control voltage produced by the diode 12, which rectifies a portion of the output current, is neutralized by a valve 15 which shunts away the control voltage at each peak of signal current. When the input to the amplifier is reduced, its bias is increased by the alteration of the voltage drop in resistance 7 so as to reduce its anode dissipation. Modifications are described in which a preliminary amplifier uses the same anode supply as the valve 11, Fig. 3 (not shown), and in which the valve 11 is a variable-n pentode, Fig. 4 (not shown).

Patent GB-440879-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in and relating to moulded products
IPC: C08K3/08
Filed: 1934-04-03
Abstract: A moulding-composition which when moulded under heat and pressure will yield products having a pearlescent appearance comprises a homogeneous mixture of a transparent or translucent thermoplastic material and metallic particles in granular form. Thermoplastic materials which may be used are polymerized vinyl compounds, such as polymerized vinyl chloride and styrol plastic, cellulose derivatives such as cellulose acetate and cellulose nitrate and thermoplastic rubber derivatives such as those obtained by treating rubber with hydrochloric acid and a halide of an amphoteric metal.  The preferred thermoplastic material is that obtained by treating rubber in benzene solution with hydrated chlorostannic acid.  In the preparation of the moulding composition the metallic powder is mixed on the mill with the thermoplastic material, and the homogeneous mix so obtained is cooled and granulated to produce particles from approximately 1/8 inch diameter to the size of small sand grains.  It is preferred to use a mixture of grains of different sizes.  Metallic powders which may be used are aluminium, copper, magnesium, lead, zinc, and aluminium bronze.  They are use in amounts of 1/10 per cent to 1 per cent, and should be ground so that they will pass a 250 mesh screen. A small amount, e.g. 0,5 to 2 per cent of a filler such as titanium white may be added together with colouring matters organic dyes, and soap.  The soap which is added in amounts of approximately 2 per cent improves the pearlescent effect due to its lubricating effect on the metallic particles; soaps used are castille soap, liquid potassium soap, and coconut oil soap.
