Patent GB-105618-A (GB)
IPC: B23B5/40
Abstract: 105,618. Baird, D. G., and Todd, J. P. April 20, 1916. Lathes.-A non-rotating-work lathe has special work holding and centring means. A frame comprising cross-heads S, T connected by tie-bars U, V carries a plunger Q which may be hollow to pass cooling oil. A tailstock spindle J carries a nut P, or fluid-pressure means acting against the cross-head under the control of a balance weight W to clamp the work between the spindle and plunger. The tailstock spindle and frame are fed as a whole by means such as a rack and pinion L, to present the work to the cutters carried by a face-plate on a live spindle surrounding the plunger. A sleeve Y cut away at D<1> to receive a blank, is so positioned by a pin A' engaging a step in a slotted bracket Z, that, when the spindle J is in its retracted position, the end of the sleeve at the cut-away part is flush with the end of the spindle. A blank dropped between the spindle and plunger then comes to rest on a coned part and the sleeve is rotated by a handle C' to disengage the pin A<1> from the step and is advanced to centre the blank by the coned surface. A stop P<1> engages the handle M to limit the feed. The machine may be electromotor driven and may be arranged for automatic operation.

Patent GB-579069-A (GB)
Title: Apparatus for the production of artificial filaments
IPC: D01D5/06
Filed: 1945-04-27
Abstract: <PICT:0579069/IV/1> In the manufacture of artificial filaments having varying denier along their length, the spinning material is fed at a varying rate to the spinneret by combining the output of a constant volume pump operating at constant speed with that of a rotary pump which is operated intermittently.  Referring to Fig. 1, spinning material in line 2 is fed to the spinnerets 6 by positive displacement pumps 4 driven at constant speed from shaft 7. Addition material is intermittently supplied to each spinneret by the auxiliary pumps 10 of the positive displacement rotary type which are driven from <PICT:0579069/IV/2> <PICT:0579069/IV/3> shaft 13.  Means for driving intermittently the auxiliary pump shaft 13 are housed at 16 and comprise three driven members, namely a gear 17 (Fig. 4) and sleeves 17a and 17b, each rotatably mounted with respect to the shaft 13 and each having a one-way clutch connection 18 with the shaft 13 so that when one member is driving the shaft, it can run ahead of the other two.  The gear 17 is driven by a rotary hydraulic motor 29 and the sleeves 17a, 17b by hydraulically operated reciprocatory pistons 23, 24.  Cams 37, 38 (Fig. 3), adapted to be driven either selectively or together from a common motor, serve to control the movement of pistons 23, 24 and rotation of the motor 29.  Cam follower 63 on cam 37, by rising and then falling, alternately directs hydraulic fluid entering valve 60 from line 69 through one or other of the lines 27 or 28, thereby moving the pistons 23, 24 and driving shaft 13 through sleeves 17a, 17b.  Cam follower 68 on cam 38 serves to control the valve 60a, such that when it moves outwardly hydraulic fluid from line 69 is directed into line 33a, through valve 35 and finally through hydraulic motor 29, thereby driving the gear 17 and shaft 13.  At the same time fluid pressure in breach 33b causes piston 72 to release cam-follower 63 from co-operation with the cam 37 so that rotation of shaft 13 through pistons 23, 24 is prevented.  When cam-follower 68 is in a recess on cam 38, flow of hydraulic fluid through line 34 is prevented by check valve 70, the motor 29 thus being inoperative.

The latter includes a pair of supports 15, 16 which engage the long side of the crate 2, the supports 15, 16 being then moved upwardly by the action of rams 21 until the crate 2 engages stops 22, 23 which retain the crate against movement, and then lift elements 18 mounted on a platform 17 are raised by rams 27 (only one shown) such that rocker members 31, which are pivotally mounted individually on the lift elements 18, project upwardly through openings in the pallet crate bottom, to engage with either the layer or the bottom layer of rods 26 (as the case may be) and move the layer, or the top layer, above the edge of the crate 2 so that a pusher 19 can move that layer on to a conveyer track 20 which leads to the cutting machine 12. The bottom of each crate 2 is inclined transversely of its longitudinal extent so that the layer(s) of rods 26 abut against one of its walls, and each rocker member 31 is pivoted at 32 such that the members 31 are inclined downwardly, having the same slope as the bottom of the crate. A pair of stops 34, 35 for each lift element 18 is disposed adjacent the top of the crate 2, and during upward movement of the rocker members 31, when there is only one layer in the crate 2, their higher sides abut the stops 34 causing the members 31 to pivot about their respective axes 32 until their opposite sides abut the stop 35, at which time the top surfaces of the members 31 are level and are flush with the top surfaces of the stops 34, 35 as shown in Fig. 5, so that the pusher 19 can move the layer on to the conveyer track 20. If there is more than one layer in the crate 2 the layers are separated by metal sheets (47), Fig. 6 (not shown). The transport device 4 engages the crates 2 by means of vertically movable arms 9, 10 mounted on its legs 5, 6. In an alternative embodiment (not shown), the pallet receiving station 11 may be located laterally outside the storage racks.

Title: Improvements in or relating to signalling receivers
IPC: H04Q1/446
Filed: 1959-03-31
Abstract: 854,807. Voice immunity circuits. PHILIPS ELECTRICAL INDUSTRIES Ltd. March 31, 1959 [April 3, 1958], No. 10843/59. Class 40 (4). In a voice immunity circuit a signalling frequency of 3 kc/s. is filtered for passage through one channel while a guard channel gives passage to all other frequencies, the amplitude of the signalling frequency being limited at a point between the filter and a following relay stage. As shown, the signalling frequency is extracted from transformer 1 over a tuned circuit 6, 7, a tapping from the inductance 7 of which drives the base of an amplitude limiting transistor 8. The signal proceeds over a transistor 11 connected in class-B to a damped tuned circuit 12 driving the class-B transistors 15 and 16 providing rectified current to operate a relay 17. Should a signal not of the signalling frequency occur, it is extracted from transformer 1 over the rejector circuit 24 and by rectification through transistor 27 causes transistor 11 to be cut-off and relay 17 to be isolated. Rectifiers 37, 38 provide a non-linear damping resistance across part of the inductor 7 in the signal tuned circuit so as to reduce trailing of bursts of the signalling frequency.
