Title: An improved machine for sorting perforated cards
Filed: 1929-11-19
Abstract: 343,890. Statistical apparatus. KNUTSEN, K. A., Ljan, Norway. Nov. 19, 1929, No. 35359. [Class 106 (i).] Sorting cards.-A machine for sorting perforated record cards comprises a feeler adapted to close an electric circuit and an operating device actuated thereby and provided with a series of cams the movement of which displaces one of a series of movable catches, arranged on a conveying member carrying the cards, in such a manner that the operated catch effects the opening of a particular pocket for the reception of the card. As shown the cards are fed from a magazine 1, Fig. 1, between rollers 3 past a transversely adjustable feeler 4 and ,between sets of rollers 5, 6. On leaving the rollers 6 the card is caught by projections 42 on one of the beam members 7 arranged on an endless conveyer 8 and is conveyed along guide-plates 35 and cords 44, Fig. 2, to one of the compartments 11 by raising the corresponding flap 10. The appropriate flap is selected by the operated catch 12 of a series of catches mounted on the beams 7 ; this catch engages a lever 13 to rock a shaft 14 whereby an arm 15, Fig. 3, thereon, rocks a lever 16 to free the arm 17 on the flap which opens under the control of a spring. The flaps are returned to closed position by cam discs 19 on a shaft 43 geared to the conveyer driving shaft 34. The catches 12 as shown in Fig. 5 are movable to one or other of two positions by means of an operating device 20 comprising cam plates 22, Figs. 1 and 4, arranged on a bar 21. The bar 21 is normally held by a spring 38 against the armature 23 of an electromagnet 24 in circuit with the feeler 4. When the feeler passes through a perforation the armature 23 is attracted and frees the bar 21 which during its displacement permits one of the cams to move one of the catches. Owing to the inclined arrangement of cams relatively to the direction of movement of the card and catches only one single catch at a certain moment will be alongside a cam. Return of the bar 21 to normal position is effected by a spring-controlled lever 25 operated by a cam 31, a stop 26 limiting the movement of the lever in the opposite direction. The bar 21 is kept horizontal by the action of springs 28 pressing balls 29 against the frame 30. The conveyer with the beams 7, shafts 14, and guide-plates 35 are carried on a part 39 of the frame which is pivotally mounted on the shaft 34.

Abstract: 428,094. Leading - in conductors for electric discharge apparatus. GENERAL ELECTRIC CO., Ltd., Magnet House, Kingsway, London, and SMITHELLS, C. J., c/o General Electric Co., Wembley, Middlesex. Dec. 18, 1933, No. 35611. [Class 39 (ii)] [See also Group XXXVI] A process of manufacturing a twin leading- in conductor for thermionic valves comprises coating a conductor with an adherent layer of glass, allowing the glass to cool until it is no longer plastic, surrounding this layer with a tubular outer conductor and elongating the whole, with concurrent reduction of diameter, either by drawing through dies or by a like process. Subsequently, the conductor may be heated to soften the glass whereby the insulating sheath is again rendered continuous. The entry of air during the drawing process may be prevented by causing the outer conductor to adhere to the ends of the inner conductor where they protrude from the glass sheath. The inner conductor may be a copper-clad nickel iron wire which is sheathed with glass, the glass silvered to render it conductive and a copper outer conductor then formed thereon by electrodeposition. For sealing through glass, the conductor may be coated with " borate." Specifications 24879/99 and 179,779, [both in Class 36], are referred to.

Patent GB-469476-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in the treatment of cellulosic material
IPC: D06M13/322
Filed: 1935-12-24
Abstract: Cellulosic materials are treated with a halogeno-methyl ether of the general formula R--O--CH2--Hal, in which R is a normal or branched chain aliphatic hydrocarbon radical, saturated or unsaturated, of not less than 8 carbon atoms, and Hal is a halogen atom, the treatment being carried out at a raised temperature in an inert organic diluent or solvent for the reagents, and preferably in the presence of an acid-binding agent. As an alternative, there may be used a quaternary ammonium salt formed from the halogeno methyl ether and a tertiary organic amine.  The cellulosic material may consist wholly or in part of natural or regenerated cellulose or cellulose esters, e.g. cotton, viscose or other artificial silk including cellulose acetate material, linen, jute or mixtures of these fibres.  Paper or films, threads, yarns, woven or knitted fabrics may be treated. The materials may be dyed.  The chlormethyl ethers used are obtained by treating the respective alcohol with formaldehyde and hydrogen halide.  Chloro methyl dodecyl, sec-dodecyl, cetyl, or octodecyl ether, or a chloromethyl ether of the mixture of alcohols from sperm oil may be used.  The treatment renders the material waterproof and gives it a soft handle and these effects are resistant to laundering and dry cleaning.  Toluene, benzene, acetone, carbon tetrachloride, trichlorethylene, and other hydrocarbons or chlorinated hydrocarbons may be used as organic diluent or solvent.  Pyridine, aniline, N-alkylaniline or dialkyl aniline, di- or triethylamine, piperidine, alkyl piperidines, sodium or potassium carbonate, potassium acetate, or calcium hydroxide may be used as acid binding agent.  The treatment is carried out at raised temperature, preferably at or near the boiling point of the diluent.  In an example, a -chloromethyl octadecyl ether is dissolved in dry toluene and pyridine is added. Undyed boiled out cotton limbric is immersed in this solution which is heated at 90 DEG  C.  The fabric is removed, pressed, washed with alcohol, and dried.  In other examples, cotton-wool union fabric, gaberdine and limbric are treated.  Cotton fabric is impregnated with a solution of octadecoxymethyl pyridinium chloride in trichloroethylene, squeezed, and dried in a current of warm air.  It is then baked at 105 DEG  C.  Limbric is padded with chloromethyl octadecyl ether, diethylaniline, and benzene mixture. It is dried in warm air and then heated at 120 DEG  C. on a drying cylinder. Knitted cellulose acetate fabric is immersed in a solution of toluene containing a chloromethyl ether of sperm-oil alcohols, and pyridine. The solution is heated for 30 minutes and the fabric is then rinsed in alcohol and dried.  Specifications 340,555, 390,553, 396,992, and 426,482 are referred to.

Title: Safety control systems for cranes
IPC: B66C23/90
Filed: 1967-08-07
Abstract: 1,138,019. Jib cranes. AUGUST BILSTEIN. 7 Aug., 1967 [6 Aug., 1966], No. 36185/67. Headings B8B and B8H. A control system for limiting the loadmoment applied to a vehicle having a slewing crane mounted thereon and having an hydraulic support leg at each side thereof, comprises electrical circuit means controlling the crane drive and including a switch controlled by a pressure measuring device coupled to a pressure cylinder of one of the legs and arranged to measure the hydraulic pressure in the cylinder as it varies in dependence upon the load-moment, the switch being arranged to prevent operation of the crane drive in a load-moment increasing sense when the hydraulic pressure exceeds a predetermined value. In a first embodiment, Fig. 1, a crane mounted on a vehicle 3 has a jib 1 which is extensible and adjustable as to its height, and a pillar 2 on which the jib is mounted. The vehicle has support legs comprising hydraulic rams 6, 7 hinged at 4, 5 on the vehicle and having footplates 8, 9. Gauges 12, 13 are connected to the pressure side of the ram cylinders which when operational are pressurized to a predetermined pressure limited by pressure valves, for example. The pressure in the rams 6, 7 will vary in dependence on the loadmoment. For example, with the jib positioned as shown in Fig. 1 the pressure in the ram 6 will increase with increased load-moment until the gauge 12 operates the control switch. In a second embodiment, Fig. 2, a single gauge 15 registers the pressure difference between the rams 6, 7 and operates the control switch on a predetermined pressure difference being reached. The electrical circuit means, Fig. 3, comprises a circuit A including a relay 18<SP>1</SP> controlling a switch 18, and a voltage source 19, the circuit A having terminals c, d for connection to the pressure gauges, a circuit B including the switch 18, a load-moment limit switch 29 mounted on the pillar 2, a jib-extension drive relay 20, a voltage source 21, and a single-pole, two-way switch 22, and a circuit C including a jibretraction relay 23, the voltage source 21 and the switch 22. The switch 29 comprises an electrically conductive arm 24 secured to the pillar 2 and having a contact g coacting with a second contact h fixed on the pillar. If the loadmoment on the pillar exceeds a predetermined value it will bend sufficiently to open the contacts g, h. In normal operation the switch 18 is closed and the switch 22 engages contact e. If the vehicle is laterally overloaded the switch 18 is opened to de-energize the relay 20. By moving the switch 22 to contact f the relay 23 is energized to retract the jib. The switch 29 ensures that the jib is not overloaded when it extends longitudinally of the vehicle. The reaction of the control system can be transmitted to the crane drive mechanically or hydraulically. A limit can be placed on the maximum load which can be lifted by the crane with the jib set along the longitudinal axis of the vehicle by limiting the fluid pressure driving the hoist chain. The crane may have a counterweight.
