Title: Improvements relating to clutches
IPC: F16D43/04
Filed: 1935-06-13
Abstract: 451,305. Friction clutches. TRIGGS, W. W., 57, Lincoln's Inn Fields, London.- (Robbins & Myers, Inc. ; 1345, Lagonda Avenue, Springfield, Ohio, U.S.A.) June 13, 1935, No. 17035. [Class 80 (ii)] In a friction clutch, engagement is effected by centrifugal means against the action of a weak spring and of magnetic means which becomes ineffective when the clutch engages. As shown, a conical clutch member 5, splined on a sleeve 3 secured to the rotor 1 of an electric motor, is urged away from a conical member 9 secured to a shaft 2 by a weak spring 15 and is adapted to be moved into engagement by the centrifugal action of segmental weights 11 arranged between outwardly-converging walls of the member 5 and of a ring 1<1> secured to the rotor. A magnetizable ring 16 secured to the member 5 projects into the effective field of the rotor leakage flux when the member 5 is in dis engaged position. A magnetic pull, which decreases as the speed increases, is thus exerted on the member 5. When the clutch engages, however, the ring 16 is moved out of the effective path of the leakage flux, and the magnetic pull becomes negligible.

Title: Pneumatic jack devices for swing doors and the like
IPC: E05F15/04
Filed: 1964-04-24
Abstract: 994,020. Door operating appliances. SOC. DES APPLICATIONS TECHNIQUES DU CAOUTHOUC S.A. T.E.C. April 24, 1964 [April 26, 1963], No. 17106/64. Heading E2M. The invention relates to the use of a pneumatic jack to complete the opening of a door e.g. trap or swing door, after an initial push on the door, the door being returned to the closed position by torsion springs in the hinges, any new opening force applied during this closing movement causing the door to re-open to the fully open position. The device consists of a jack 4 pivotally attached at 3 to the door frame above the door by a bracket 1 and to the door by coupling 6, the door being supported by spring hinges 8, 9 biased to the closed position, in which the pivot points 3, 6, 8 are on the same straight line. After displacement from this position e.g. angle a Fig. 3 the pneumatic ram will complete the opening movement. The jack 4 has a piston rod 5 having a section 33 of reduced diameter near the piston 32, and a sleeve 10 mounted on the piston rod, the frictional engagement of this sleeve on the rod being adjusted by screws 11, and the sleeve abutting a shaped push rod 18 acting against a ball 16 of a ball valve. Initial opening movement of the door causes the piston rod 5 to move (to the right in Fig. 5) taking the sleeve 10 with it and consequently causing the push rod 18 to open the ball valve 16, which allows compressed air from pipe 28 to traverse bore 21, enter opening 22 and act behind the piston via pipe 29. At the fully open position the system is arranged such that the sleeve 10 coincides with section 33, thus releasing its grip on the rod 5 and allowing the spring 17 to close ball valve 16 so shutting off the air supply and returning, via the push rod 18, the sleeve 10 to a position against an abutment 34. The spring hinges then return the door to its close position, air being released via path 29, 22 opening 23, which has been uncovered by the return of the push rod 18, needle valve 24, which controls the speed of closing of the door, the air eventually exhausting through apertures 25, 27.

Filed: 1964-04-27
Abstract: 1,028,103. Stacking machines; endless conveyers. A. BELLING, [trading as MASCHINENFABRIK STAHLKONTOR WESERLENZE KOMM. GES.]. April 27, 1964 [April 27, 1963], No. 17416/64. Headings B8A and B8C. A machine for stacking bars, wooden planks &c. on a support comprises a conveyer device for picking up articles, raising them vertically and then lowering them towards the support, vertically movable carriages adjacent the support and carrying guides reciprocable across the support, thrust arms for pushing the articles along the guides, while the latter lie above the support, to form a layer and means for withdrawing the guides to deposit the layer on the support or a preceding layer. The machine is adjustable for various lengths of bars &c. and numbers per layer. Bars are fed at intervals on two spaced conveyers 1 to platforms 3, and operate the start switch 9 for spaced conveyer chains 7, 7<SP>1</SP> which advance until a stop switch 9a is closed by a following conveyer dog 6. The bars are raised on the left side of the dogs and are deposited on a platform 10 between the conveyers, as the dogs begin downward motion. An abutment 6a on the following dog pushes the bar on to the right side of the dog. The lowered bar operates a switch 19 so that thrust arms 23, mounted on carriages 15, movable in a fixed frame, push the bar along guides 13, and transmits a pulse to counting means 20. When a pre-determined number of bars for a layer has arrived a stop 25 is raised behind the bars and switch 26 operated to withdraw the guides and strip the bars on to the stack. A solenoid 28, Fig. 3 (not shown), is energized to press a securing roller 30 on an arm 29 against the stack. A switch 40 operated when the guides are withdrawn lowers stop 25 and initiates upward movement of the carriages until the roller is urged above the top of the last laid layer of the stack, Fig. 4 (not shown). The arm 29 is then free to be urged forward by the solenoid and a switch 41, Figs. 3, 4, is closed to stop the carriage, and extend the guides above the stack. A switch 42 operated by the guides now initiates downward displacement of the carriages until the guides are immediately above the stacks when a switch 43 is operated to stop the carriages. When the final layer of the stack has been laid the carriages operate a switch 44 (Fig. 1) which stops the machine, and emits a visible or audible signal. The guides may insert spacing bars 13a in the stack at intervals. Several elements may be conveyed and stacked together; and the conveyers are displaceable one from the other to handle different bar lengths.
