Title: Insulated wire cutting and stripping machine
IPC: H01R43/04
Filed: 1975-07-08
Abstract: 1503716 Wire cutting and stripping SHIN MEIWA INDUSTRY CO Ltd 8 July 1975 [16 July 1974] 28733/75 Heading B3A [Also in Division H2C] An apparatus for cutting an insulated wire into predetermined lengths, stripping the insulation from the opposite ends of the cut lengths and twisting the wire strand, comprises means for intermittently pulling the wire axially forward, and while the wire is stopped, simultaneously cutting the wire and cutting its insulation on either side of the wire cut, then pulling forward the cut length of wire while twisting its cut end of insulation to remove it and twist the wire strands, then pulling the main length of wire rearwardly while twisting its cut end of insulation to remove it and twist the wire strands, then returning the apparatus to its initial position while pulling the main length of wire forward ready for the next cycle. Wire W is cut by blades 3, 4 in holders 15, 17 on racks 14, 18, rack 14 being driven by lever 25 and cam 24 with a pinion (16), Fig. 3 (not shown), between racks 14 and 18. The insulation is cut by blades 5, 6 on sliders 1, 2 on racks 8, (12), Fig. 3 (not shown), rack 8 being driven by linkage 7 with a pinion (11), Fig. 3, between racks 8, (12). The cut ends of insulation are twisted by being gripped between bars 33, 34 and 35, 36 which are, at the appropriate moment determined by the shape of the cams 56, 57, moved in opposite directions, e.g. 33 up, 34 down, to twist the gripped insulation. Bars 33, 34 are driven from cam 56 through follower 54, lever 52 and link 49 connected to rack 40 connected to bar 33, bar 34 being connected to rack 41 driven from rack 40 through a pinion (38), Fig. 6 (not shown). Bars 35, 36 are similarly driven by cam 57. The pairs of bars 33, 34 and 35, 36 are clamped against the wire ends by rollers 45 connected to sliders 1, 2 so that when the sliders close the bars are thrust against the wire ends, being restored after sliders 1, 2 open by torsion springs 46, 47. Cams 24, 56, 57 are on continuously rotating shaft 19.

Abstract: 412,195. Motor vehicles; frames; mounting engines &c. SMITH, S., Dingley Dell Farm, Windlesham Road, Chobham, Surrey. Oct. 14, 1932, No. 28793. [Classes 79 (iii) and 79 (iv).] In a motor vehicle, the wheels are carried on arms 28, 45 provided with axle portions engaging in tubular members 18, 19 carried by the vehicle, with one or more torsion rubber bushes 23 between the axle portions 22 and the tubular members and torsion rubber discs 30 beween the end of the members and the arms, means being provided for collectively compressing the springs to increase their resistance to deformation or distortion. In one form, Fig. 3, the arms 28 on each side of the vehicle are connected by a bolt 31 which may constitute a torsion rod, spacing tubes 24, 26 and thrust rings 25 providing means whereby the rubber members may be compressed axially and expanded radially. The front wheels, which are driven, are supported by transverse leaf springs 43 secured between plates 42 supporting the engine and connecting arms 45. A dished metal plate 36 is secured to the tubular arm 45 in which telescopes the end of a tube 46. Rubber bushes 47 are interposed between the arms 45 and the tube 46 and a threaded block 54 engages a fixed collar 59. A threaded bolt 56 can thus draw the tube 46 into the arm 45 and in so doing compresses the bushes 47 through abutments 50, 51 on the tube and arm respectively, a spacing tube and thrust rings 49. The vehicle may be arranged for a rear-wheel drive, the driving-gear being housed in a sheet metal casing secured to the bottom of the vehicle body. The surfaces engaging the rubber may be fluted or serrated. According to the Provisional Specification ball or other antifriction bearings may be inserted between the nuts on the bolt 31 and the clamping-plates.
