Title: Improvements in machines for manufacturing glass or the like beads
IPC: C03B19/10
Filed: 1924-05-05
Abstract: 232,786. Paisseau, J. May 5, 1924. Beads, making.-A machine for making beads from glass or enamel rod comprises one or more revoluble spindles, having one or both ends free, on which the beads are formed, a blowpipe for melting the rod, and means for removing the beads from the spindles. In the construction shown in Fig. 1, a spindle a mounted in bearings b is driven by a pulley c, and a sliding fork e is provided to remove from the rod a bead f after formation. The bead is formed by winding glass on to the spindle from a rod g which has its end heated by a blowpipe and brought into contact with the spindle. Instead of using the fork e, the spindle may be made to slide on its bearings. the removal of the bead then being brought about by sliding the rod endwise until the bead comes into contact with the adjacent bearing. A number of the devices shown may be arranged side by side, and the rods g may be mounted in holders which are provided with means for feeding them to the spindles. In the construction shown in Figs. 6 and 7, the spindles a are slidably mounted in mandrels 41 which are carried by a plate 33 that rotates in a vertical plane. The plate is rotated by a shaft 34 which is driven by a pulley 45, and the pulley also drives all the spindles by means of a belt 43. The rod g of enamel is held between grooved rollers 47, 48 which are rotated slowly to feed the rod towards the flame from a blowpipe 59. The rollers 47, 48 are carried by a frame 50 pivoted on an axle 75, and the frame is oscillated about this axle by means of a cam 76 to cause the rod to approach and recede from the spindle on which the bead is formed. The blowpipe 59 is mounted on an axle 60 and is oscillated by a cam 61 while the bead is being formed. The finished bead is removed from the spindle by means of a lever 67 which makes contact with a fixed cam 68 at the proper time and slides the spindle towards the rear of the plate 33. In order to prevent the beads from sticking, a suitable paste is applied to each spindle. For this purpose, a brush 72 is mounted on a bell-crank lever 71 which is rocked bv means of a crank 69 on the shaft 34. The brush conveys paste from a receptacle 73 and applies it to the spindle that is moving above the receptacle.

Filed: 1933-04-18
Abstract: 402,989. Switches, partly electromagnetic ; thermal switches. SCHMIDINGER, J. P., 2808, 35th Street, Long Island, New York, U.S.A. April 18, 1933, No. 11349. Convention date, April 19, 1932. [Class 38 (v).] A thermal switch comprises a magnet which tends to hold the contacts in engagement, and a resistance element 20, which, when cold, maintains the contacts apart and, when heated, allows them to be brought into engagement by the magnet. In one form, Figs. 2, 3, the magnet is an electromagnet with a winding 13 which is in series with the resistance element 20 when the latter is cold. The armature 12 of the electromagnet is mounted on a resilient member 19 which also carries the adjustable movable contact of the switch and assists the tendency of the electromagnet to close the switch. When the wire 20 expands sufficiently, the switch is closed, thereby short-circuiting the resistance element and permitting an increased current to flow through the winding to reinforce the contact. In a modification, Fig. 4, the electromagnet is replaced by a permanent magnet 30, and an additional length of resistance wire is wound around a post 34 mounted on a resilient arm 35 provided with an adjusting screw 36 for varying the tension in the wire 20. Additional means, in the form of a spring 37 connected at one end to the armature 12 and at the other end to an adjusting screw 38, are provided for regulating the periods of make and break of the switch.

Title: Improvements in electrical systems for remote control
IPC: H02J13/00
Filed: 1942-08-19
Abstract: 555,664. Selective control. GENERAL ELECTRIC CO., Ltd., and COLLYER, J. E. Aug. 19, 1942, No. 11639. [Class 40 (i)] In a system of selective control over power mains (e.g. for ring- ing time bells) in which the selective signals are of different lengths means are provided for delaying the transmission of the signals to different extents after an initiating operation so that all bells are operated at the same time, say 30 seconds, after such operation. The transmitting operator moves a selecting switch HS and then a push-button SK. On the operation of the latter, ST pulls up (relay N being normally operated) and locks, releasing a normally energized relay T. Motor TE thereupon drives the associated switch TE1 in search of a contact marked byHSl. When this contact is reached, T pulls up and stops the switch. The time occupied by this operation is complementary to that required subsequently by the bell-selecting switch. On moving off normal, switch TE1 prepares a circuit for S which is completed when T re-operates. Circuits are thus made for motor TS of switch TS1 and for sending, by means not shown, a voice frequency signal over the power line L, N. In response to the signal impulse, TR at the sending end connects up motor CS of switch CS1 and R at the receiving end connects up the synchronously running motor OS of switch OS1. When switch CS1 moves, N is released. In a position corresponding to the starting terminal STA of switch CS1, off-normal contacts LS4 and OS4 change over and interrupt the driving circuits. After 3 seconds, however, switch TS1 releases S to terminate the signal impulse and stops. and on the relapse of TR and R the switches CS1, OS1 are driven again until CS1 reaches the terminal marked by switch HS. Relay A thereupon operates over a centring cam set CS6, locks itself, releases ST, sends a signal over the power circuit and makes a circuit for driving TS1. Relays TR, R then stop the switches CS1, OS1 and R in addition energizes the selected bell. When TS has moved a predetermined distance, A is released to terminate the second signal and, on the relapse of TR. R, the bell is cut off, the switches CS, OS are restored to their home positions. The resulting operation of N drives TS1 to its home position.

Abstract: 494,111. Numbering-machines; ruling- machines. BAILEY'S PRINTING INVENTIONS, Ltd., and BAILEY, J. April 24, 1937, No. 11765. [Class 100 (ii)] Tripping-arrangements.-A numbering, ruling,. or like machine is constructed with a tripping device which declutches the drive of the numbering or like operating device if a sheet is not fed to the machine. The sheets are fed by tapes 12 to an impression cylinder 8, Fig. 1, with which co-operates a number of numbering- boxes 11 carried by a shaft 9 which is driven from the impression cylinder 8 by means of a clutch comprising a claw tooth 17 on a boss 16 carried by a gear which is freely mounted on the shaft 9 and a pivoted claw 18 mounted on a disc fixed to the shaft 9. A spring 21 tends to effect engagement of the parts 17, 18, but when a sheet is missing a lever 23 is rotated and an arm 24 on the lever acts on a projection 25 of the claw 18 and the drive is disconnected. The lever 23 is operated by a trip shaft 31 which is fitted with a lever 32, having a roller 33 adapted to be acted upon by an adjustable cam 35 on the impression cylinder, so as to move the lever 32 counterclockwise and so move inwards a catch 37 which normally engages an inclined bar 38 to prevent the lever 32 from moving clockwise under action of a spring 34 and so operate the lever 23 by means of lever mechanism 30, 29, 27, 26. If a sheet is present it raises the catch 37 and permits the lever 23 to move out of the path of the projection 25 so that the shaft 9 is driven and the numbering-devices are operated and print on the sheet. The trip shaft 31 also operates a cam 54 which controls the position of inking- rollers mounted in pivoted arms, and causes the rollers to be moved away from the numbering-devices when these are tripped. The shaft 31 controls the position of a push rod 44, Fig. 5, formed with pushers 49, 50 which are made to engage one or other of two rollers 60, 61 on a lever 51 which controls the position of the cam 54. The clutch 17, 18 may be used with a brake which holds the shaft 9 stationary when the clutch is disengaged. The invention may be applied to combined numbering and perforating machines, and the machine may be run without the automatic check mechanism.
