Title: Improvements in or relating to stopping mechanism for coilwinding and similar machines
IPC: H01F41/06
Filed: 1932-01-04
Abstract: 398,208. Counting-apparatus; measuring stopmotion for coilwinding machines. UNIVERSAL WINDING CO., 95, South Street, Boston, U.S.A. Jan. 4, 1932, No. 218. Convention date, Nov. 11, 1931. [Class 106 (i).] Mechanism for stopping a coil - winding machine after a predetermined number of operations comprises two counting wheels driven at different speeds, a projection on each wheel, and a member which stops the machine when both projections cooperate simultaneously with it, the member being normally out of the range of the projection on the faster counting wheel and being moved into co-operation therewith by the projection on the slower wheel. The invention is shown applied to a machine of the kind described in Specification 395,386, [Group IX]. The counting wheels are mounted on a shaft 100 pivoted in a frame 96 vertically slidable on bolts 95 and normally maintained by gravity in such a position that a wheel 101 secured to the shaft 100 gears with a wheel 90 driven by the machine. An adjustable stop 103 determines the lower position of the frame 96. On a boss on the wheel 101 an arm 105 can be secured so that its end indicates any one of a series of graduations on the face of the wheel. When the device is to be reset, the frame 96 is lifted and the wheel 101 turned in an anticlockwise direction until the arm 105 meets a spring-pressed stop 110 located in the machine frame. During the normal clockwise rotation of the wheel 101 a bevelled part 109 on the arm 105 pushes back the stop 110 to allow the wheel to make a number of rotations. The revolutions of the wheel 101 are counted by a wheel 125 freely mounted on the shaft 100 and returned to its starting position by a spiral spring when the frame 96 is raised. The end of the shaft 100 is provided with an eccentric 135 which oscillates a lever 140 pivoted at 142 and having a pawl 145 engaging ratchet teeth on the wheel 125. The wheel 125 is arrested in its starting position by the contact of a pin 133 upon it with an adjustable stop 136. The units and tens of the number of revolutions after which the machine is to be stopped are set by the arm 105 on the wheel 101 and the hundreds and thousands on the wheel 125 by setting a block 155 thereon. The block 155 has a projection 162 which, after the predetermined extent of movement of the wheel 125, rocks a member pivoted to an arm 80, Fig. 6. This member is thus moved into the path of a projection 115 on the wheel 101, the projection 115 engaging the member upon the next rotation of the wheel and rocking the arm 80 to move to the left a link 75. A pin 77 can then enter a hole 76 in the link 75 and allow a lever 70 to swing clockwise under spring action to open a motor switch and to apply a brake 19 to a rotating member 15.

Abstract: 231,587. Invernairn, (W. Beardmore), Lord, and Chorlton, A. E. L. Jan. 4, 1924. Oil, catching and removing.-In a lubricating system for internal-combustion engines employing crank-case compression, oil forced through a passage G in the crankshaft to a groove G<2> in the big-end C<2> passes through a central passage H in the connecting-rod C to the bearing between the connecting-rod and a member B fixed to the piston A, the member B being arranged as described in Specification 221,911, [Class 122 (i), Engine and like cylinders &c.]. Spring-pressed scrapers prevent leakage of oil at the top of the bearing. The oil is caught at the ends of the bearing by flanges J<2> and passes through passages K<1> to a passage K in the connecting-rod surrounding the passage H. The passage K communicates with an outlet K<2> from which the oil is thrown, being caught by a lip M' on an annular box M mounted on the crank disc E and being led into the interior M<1> of the box, whence it is thrown through holes M<4> into a collecting ring N fixed in the crank case. Opposed vanes M<2>, N<1> and troughs N<3> prevent the escape of oil, which is drained away through an outlet N<2>. Oil leaking from the big-end is also caught by the lip M<3>. Specification 221,158 also is referred to.

Abstract: 538,062. Making sinks &c. BRIGGS MANUFACTURING CO. Jan. 16, 1940, Nos. 956 and 957. Convention dates, Jan. 16, 1939 and Sept. 5, 1939. [Classes 83 (ii) and 83 (iv)] Cupping; flanging.-In making from a single sheet a combined sink and laundry basin, as described in Specification 538,061, the basins are drawn successively, the second basin being first drawn on a centre line further from the first basin than required the basin being moved laterally during the redraw. The first basin is drawn by a punch 38, Fig. 2, coacting with an insert 37 in the die 36, a draw-ring 60 co-operating with the pressure ring 41 of the double acting press. During the drawing of the second basin 21, Fig. 6A, the first basin 20 is held between pads that also hold the part 31 to form the separating rib. The basin is first stamped to the shape shown in dotted lines, the centre line being a. In the redraw both basins are depressed by an offset 32 extending round both basins and the rib which is reduced in width as shown by the full lines, at the same time the basin is moved laterally to the centre line b and the shape of the basin is altered by spreading the metal laterally. In this way the difficulty of punching metal for the second basin is overcome and fracture at this rib is prevented. A final shaping die for both basins has inserts that emboss depressions in which the waste outlets are punched. The periphery of the blank is then trimmed and the splash back 22 is bent up in dies in which the offset 32 is gripped between dies 66, 67, Fig. 9, which carry the blank down bending up the flange against a hardened insert 65 in the die 64. The top edge of the back 22 is next held between a die 69, Fig. 11, with insert 72 and a pressure pad 70 and on descent of a die 68 the back is flanged on the top and sides at 23 and the panel 33 is embossed between the die inserts shown. The blank is then placed with the basins uppermost in a double action die that presses the flange round three sides of the basins, and after further trimming and notching at the corners the extreme edges of all the flanges are turned in in two sets of dies in which cam and wedge operated slides carry the operative parts.

Title: Bonding of olefin copolymers onto non-compatible substrates
IPC: C08F255/04
Filed: 1965-01-08
Abstract: A graft copolymer latex comprises a vinyl, vinylidene or vinylene carboxylic acid alone or in admixture with an alkyl ester thereof grafted on to an elastomeric ethylene/alpha-olefin saturated copolymer or an ethylene/alpha-olefin/cyclic or acyclic, non-conjugated diene low unsaturation terpolymer.  Specified monomers are acrylic, methacrylic, sorbic, muconic and crotonic acids and alkyl esters thereof.  The copolymer may be an ethylene/propylene or butene-1 copolymer or a terpolymer of ethylene/propylene/1,5-cyclooctadiene or dicyclopentadiene, or ethylene/butene-1 or pentene-1/1,4-hexadiene.  The latex is prepared by heating a latex of the copolymer with an aqueous solution of monomer, employing a free radical initiator, e.g. organic peroxides and diazo compounds.  Redox mixtures of an organic peroxide and a reducing agent, e.g. Fe2SO4, iron acetylacetonate or polyethylene amine may also be used.  The latex may subsequently be bonded on to a substrate, e.g. textile fibres, by applying the latex and an aqueous dispersion of a phenol/aldehyde resin to the substrate, and then applying to the substrate a vulcanizable mix based on an ethylene/alpha olefin copolymer and containing a curing agent and curing the product (see Divisions B5 and D1).  The graft copolymers may be cross-linked with a polyamine or a polyvalent metal oxide.  In examples, ethylene/propylene copolymers are grafted with (i) acrylic acid, (ii) acrylic acid and methyl acrylate, or (iii) methacrylic acid, ethylene/propylene/cyclooctadiene-1,5 terpolymers are grafted with (i) and/or (iii) or crotonic acid and an ethylene/propylene/dicyclopentadiene terpolymer is grafted with (i).ALSO:An aqueous latex of a graft copolymer of a vinyl, vinylidene or vinylene carboxylic acid on an elastomeric ethylene/alhpa-olefin saturated copolymer or an ethylene/alpha-olefin/non-conjugated diene terpolymer (see Group C3) is used as a water-proof agent, for finishing wash and wear fabrics, as a softener for anti-crease resins and for adhering elastomers to natural or synthetic fibres.  In examples, squares of rayon fabric are immersed in an adhesive mix containing the latex and a resorcinolformaldehyde resin and dried. The squares may then be placed between two layers of a vulcanizable elastomeric blend and the system vulcanized under pressure.
