Title: Improvements in or relating to the Manufacture of Obturator Rings.
Inventor: HECHT JOHN SEBASTIAN
IPC: B21D53/16
Filed: 1916-01-31
Abstract: 123,328. Hecht, J. S., and Dowdell, A. T. Jan. 31, 1916. Rings.-In the manufacture of piston-rings of approximately L section a strip is cut from a metal sheet, preferably at an angle to the grain, as described in Specification 8571/15, and is then rolled to the thickness and hardness required. The blank may either be cut with an edgewise curvature, or may be rolled with greater pressure on one edge, thus causing it to curve laterally, or it may be bent edgewise by rolling. In the latter case, creases are removed from the metal by the machine shown in Fig. 4, in which the metal strip is passed between a wheel 1 and a shoe 3 pressed towards the wheel by means of an adjustable spring 4. The strip is then flattened and trimmed to the required size, and then bent into ring form with overlapping ends, preferably in a machine similar to that shown in Fig. 4. The ring is then secured between dies 10, 12, Fig. 8, and a flange is turned over by spinning or pressing. The edges may be trimmed either before or after forming the flange. A modified process consists in mounting a metal strip of greater width than the ring required between the dies shown in Fig. 8, and removing the excess metal before bending over the flange. An approximately cylindrical ring may be formed from a narrow metal strip in a similar manner.

Patent GB-1268201-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in or relating to tufted fabric simulating terry cloth
IPC: D05C15/00
Filed: 1968-07-31
Abstract: 1,268,201. Tufting-machines; tufted fabrics. NATIONAL RESEARCH DEVELOPMENT CORP. 30 July, 1969 [31 July, 1968; 10 Jan., 1969], Nos. 36485/68 and 1623/69. Headings D1G and D1K. A tufted fabric simulating a single or double sided terry fabric (Fig. 1) is produced by a series of pairs of threaded eyed needles 12, 13 which alternately penetrate a base fabric from opposite sides each needle acting as a threaded looper for the other needle in such a way that before a needle which has penetrated the fabric is fully withdrawn therefrom the other needle penetrates the loop formed by that needle before the said other needle enters the base fabric. As shown in Fig. 8 needle 12 penetrates the base fabric and is gradually withdrawn producing a loop 35, the needle 13 then moves upwardly through the loop 35 and penetrates the base fabric. While this is taking place the needle 12 is fully withdrawn and the loop 35 lies against the base fabric as do the loops 7, 7' and 7". A fixed looper 15 engages the yarn extending from the base fabric to the needle eye as the needle 13 is raised thus producing a pile forming loop similar to 8' .. 8"'. A similar sequence occurs on the other side of the fabric thus producing a double sided fabric. If one set of pile forming loops is drawn tight a single sided fabric is produced. As shown in Fig. 12 base fabric is continuously fed from a roll 67 around a series of rollers some of which are driven to feed the base fabric through guides 16, 17 at the tufting point. Axial reciprocation of needle 12 is produced by eccentrics 44, 45. An exactly similar arrangement is provided for the other needle 13. Since the base fabric is continuously fed the point of penetration of the needle moves so the needle must be allowed to move forwards (or downwards) with the fabric and then on withdrawal to move upwards to be in position for the next penetration. This movement is produced by an eccentric 56 on the same shaft as the eccentric 44 and acts through backwash 57, 59, 61 to pivot a plate 53 about an axis 54.  Yarn feed is produced by a bar which engages the yarn 37 between two fixed points which causes it to be pulled from the supply.

Filed: 1976-01-16
Abstract: 1480467 Toy aeroplanes &c A E GOLDFARB and E BENKOE 16 Jan 1976 [21 Jan 1975] 1724/76 Heading A6S A toy aeroplane, &c set comprises the combination of a hand-operated launcher including a geared drive to an output clutch member, with a toy aeroplane, &c having a propeller driven by a shaft clutchable to the launcher output clutch member. A toy aeroplane 62, Fig. 1, is placed upon a launcher 12 with flanges 86, 88 on its body inserted into slots 92 in the launcher. A dog clutch 98, Fig. 8, on a shaft 94 fast with the aeroplane propeller 74, is now engaged by a slotted dog clutch member 100, Fig. 3, in the launcher 12. Pulling a string 36 drives through step-up ratio gears 26, 28 and the clutch dogs 98, 100 to the propeller 74, and the toy aeroplane 62 takes-off, separating from the launcher 12. Pulling the string 36 simultaneously winds-up a rubber band 57, so that when the string is subsequently released, it is wound back into the launcher 12. To increase its moment of inertia and hence its kinetic energy, the propeller 74 is of greater blade length proportional to the dimensions of the aeroplane than usual, and may have increased mass at its blade tips. For safety, the propeller 74 has a soft front edge 80, Figs. 1, 9, and soft blade tips 84. Both the toy aeroplane 62 and the launcher 12 are moulded from plastics. Instead of the monoplane shown the toy aeroplane may be a biplane. Should the rubber band 57, &c fail to operate, the draw string 36 may be wound back by use of a knurled wheel 48, 50 projecting through a slot in the launcher housing.

Abstract: 550,862. Railway traffic control systems. WESTINGHOUSE BRAKE & SIGNAL CO., Ltd., and VENNING, C. F. D. Feb. 19, 1941, No. 2257. [Class 105] In a railway traffic contro system involving route-setting switches which may be associated with a track diagram each switch has normal and reverse contacts, the contacts of all the switches being so inter-connected and associated with route-relay contacts that the reverse winding of a selected route relay can be energized by operation of the appropriate switch only when all the other switches are in normal position. Fig. 2 shows the arrangement with the switch connections in two groups X, Y in series. In group X reverse contacts of all the switches 1R, 2R &c. are in series, each being bridged by a normal contact of the corresponding route relay 1LR (N), 2LR (N) &c. Group Y involves two normal contacts and one reverse contact of each switch, connected as shown. The closure of any reverse contact such as 4R is accompanied by the opening of two normal contacts, the upper 4N contact breaking circuit for other switches 5 ... 10 to the left, and the lower 4N contact breaking circuit for switches 1, 2, 3 to the right. A reverse relay winding' circuit can therefore be completed through group Y by only one switch at a time. A separate relay is provided for each route, each having normal and reverse windings 1LR (N), 1LR (R), ... 10LR (N), 10LR (R), and being of the kind which remains locked in the position to which it was last operated until its other winding is energized. The above arrangement is described as applied to ten routes having a common entrance with a signal S (1-5)- and-route-indicator (not shown) for routes 1-5, and a signal S (6-10) (not shown) for the remaining routes. The route relays of Fig. 2 control the actuation of points for the corresponding routes. Reverse contacts of the route relays are arranged in parallel in the circuit of relay 1/10 NRR forming part of the signal control, this relay being energized when any of the route relay reverse contacts is closed. The route relay circuits include certain other contacts indicated at LRL and not detailed. Two signal relays S (1-5) R and S (6-10) R, (neither shown), are provided. Reverse routerelay contacts 1LR (R) ... 5LR (R) are arranged in parallel with one another and in series with a front contact of relay 1/10 NRR in the circuit of relay S (1-5) R. Similarly, reverse relay contacts 6LR (R) ... 10LR (R) in parallel, and in series with a front contact 1/10 NRR are arranged in the circuit of relay S (6-10) R. The route relays are returned to normal by closure of front contact 1/10 NNRI of a relay 1/10N NR (not shown) the circuit of which includes in series normal contacts 1N ... 10N of all the route switches.
