Class 103(1) [Also in Group XXV] A clamp comprises a flexible band 1 forming a substantially closed loop which is caused to embrace an article or articles within it by means of a tension device 2 arranged to urge or to pull the ends of the band together, the band being of loop form the ends of which are integral with the body and are returned i.e. bend outwards and away from each other and the tension device being a spring body terminating in lips which are normally in close proximity to each other and which enter the channels formed by the returned ends of the band, the band being of material sufficiently rigid to resist collapse of the returned ends when the band tightly embraces an article. The clamp is used for holding brake linings in contact with the shoes while the cement which holds them in place is setting. The ends of the band in addition to being returned as shown at 3 have the extreme ends returned once more as shown at 4 and the ends 5 of the clip 2 which are also returned engage the channels formed by the second return. In use pressure is applied to the brake shoes by any known method, the pressure being gauged by measuring the gap 6 between the ends of the clip 2. An adjustable strut is then applied to the shoes to retain the pressure and the assembly may then be hung in an oven for heat treatment by means of the clip 2.

Title: Improvements in or relating to railway signalling systems

Filed: 1936-08-11
Abstract: 468,539. Electric signalling systems. LORENZ AKT.-GES., C. Aug. 11, 1936, Nos. 22111 and 25280. Convention dates, Aug. 12, 1935 and Oct. 19, 1935. [Class 40 (i)] In a bell signalling system wherein bells may be rung from either of two stations, means are provided whereby, during operation of the bells from one station, actuation thereof from the other station is prevented. As shown in Fig. 1, the bells A may be rung from either of stations X, Y by generators J, J<1>, upon depression of keys T, T<1>. When signalling is effected from station Y, key T<1> is depressed and relay L at station X is operated over the line circuit, the bells A however remaining inoperative. Relay L operates slow-release relay V which illuminates " busy " signal lamp S and operates relay O. Relay O disconnects generator J at station X, shortcircuits a high-resistance winding on relay L and connects the relay directly to the line. Relay L releases owing to the short-circuiting of the high resistance winding but upon receipt of a ringing pulse from generator J<1>, pulls up and reoperates relay V to maintain disconnection of the transmitting apparatus at station X from the line until the ringing mechanisms, viz. clockwork, of the bells is fully operated. In the event that the key T at station X is operated during signalling from station Y a lamp W is operated. Similar operations occur at station Y when transmission is initiated at station X. In a modification the apparatus at each station is arranged to facilitate transmission to bells on each side of the station. In a further modification, provision is made for indicating earthing or breaking of the line wire.

When the end of the slot b is reached, the presser g is lifted and the member a slid along the material and the operation resumed till the desired amount is completed. For hemstitching, the plate a is removed and the lap k cut along its fold l, Fig. 4, and the two parts e, e<1> swung over and hemmed as at n, Fig. 5. For picot edging, the lap l and the hemstitch are cut through leaving hanging edges of threads or small loops.

Abstract: 1397122 Shoe drum brake slack adjusters AUTOMOTIVE PRODUCTS Ltd 2 May 1973 [12 May 1972] 22378/72 Heading F2E In an internal shoe drum brake, a strut 23 is coupled to one shoe 10 substantially at the shoe centre for movement thereby, and can move freely inwardly with respect to a second shoe 11, the strut being positioned substantially at that shoe centre, but is connected thereto by a one-way locking device for preventing inward movement of the shoe 11 with respect to the strut a lost motion connection allowing limited such movement. The brake which has a double leading shoe for anti-clockwise rotation and provides a double trailing shoe for opposite rotation, is operated by piston-cylinder actuators 12, 13 each providing a fixed anchorage for the shoe operated by the other actuator. The strut 23 of square section, has a projection 32 engaging a hole 33 in the shoe 10, the hole being larger in the axial direction of the strut to provide the lost-motion connection for brake clearance. A pivoted locking member 42, forming the device, on the shoe 11 has a flat surface 43, as shown, or a curved surface, offset from the perpendicular from the pivot to the strut 23 to allow inward strut movement with respect to the shoe, but, by means of a spring 44, increases frictional grip on the strut during opposite movement. The surface 43 may be plane or serrated, wherein the locking member comprises a series of abutting plates whose serrations are staggered to reduce the effective pitch thereof. The member 42 has a tail 45 to allow a tool to be inserted for strut release when the shoes are replaced. The lostmotion connection may be within the strut or at the locking member pivot. The brake may be of the leading-trailing shoe type.
