Abstract: 276,719. Hitosi, S. May 25, 1926. Statistical machines. - According to the code employed, Fig. 1, the digits are represented as in Specification 207,959 by perforations &c. in one or more of four positions having the values of 1-4 and the compilation and recording of the numbers are performed by successive feeling" of the four positions. The cards or strip may be read by mechanical or pneumatic agency, but in the arrangement shown in Fig. 3<a> the reading is performed electrically, a contact finger b<1> being drawn across the card or in the case of a strip A a series of four contact fingers a<2> being disposed obliquely across the strip. The four circuits cooperating with the finger or fingers each include an electromagnet c<1> - - c<4> adapted when energized to lower a pawl e<1> - - e<4> through one, two, three or four steps and turn a ratchet wheel e to a corresponding extent. Geared with this wheel are a type-wheel to print the digit and a totalizing wheel F bearing type and also contacts arranged in accordance with the code. The intermediate gearing may provide for alternate trains to permit addition or subtraction at will and by disconnecting this gearing and applying a contact bar f<2> to the drum F the total may be recorded by the type-wheel and also if desired punched at D. This punching mechanism may also be used to reproduce the values on the cards or strip. Transfer may be provided for by the addition of a magnet c<o> and multiplication and division may be performed by repeated breaking of the circuit to effect successive additions and subtractions. For cash-registering purposes two drums F may be geared with wheel e for addition and subtraction respectively.

Abstract: 832,611. Forging machines. EUMUCO (ENGLAND) Ltd. May 9, 1956 [May 9, 1955], No. 13374/55. Class 83 (4). An automatic workpiece feeder, for a horizontal heading machine having vice-jaws 37, 38, Fig. 1, for gripping the workpiece 40 whilst it is headed, comprises tongs 59, 60, Fig. 2, located adjacent the vice-jaws and adapted to move the workpiece parallel to the gripping plane of the vice-jaws between a loading position, wherein the workpiece lies outside the vice-jaws, to an operating position wherein the workpiece is aligned with the vice-jaws. The heading machine comprises a reciprocating header 22 actuated from a crank-shaft 19 driven through gearing 18 and a V-belt drive by an electric motor. The vice-jaws carry dies 37, 38 and the movable jaw is actuated by a pair of toggle links 31, 32 from the crankshaft 19. A fluid-pressure operated onerevolution clutch is provided adjacent the belt pulley 16. The transfer tongs, Fig. 2, comprise a fixed jaw 59 and a pivoted upper jaw 60 actuated by a fluid-pressure cylinder 61 mounted on a sleeve 58 slidable over a bar 57 projecting forwardly of a tongs carrier block 50 slidable vertically in a frame 48, Fig. 4. The sleeve 58 is biased forwardly by a spring 62 and carries rollers 63 co-operating with a cam surface 64 on the frame 48 whereby the tongs 59, 60 are automatically positioned axially when the block 50 is moved vertically. The carrier block 50 is biased upwardly by a fluidpressure cylinder 55, Fig. 4, and is moved downwardly from the upper loading position to a succession of work stations by a rod 74 having a number of adjustable catches 75 adapted to engage a latch 66 on the block 50. The rod 74 is actuated by a fluid-pressure meter 76. An opposite latch 67 on the block co-operates with catches 79 on a fixed ratchet bar 78 for locating the block 50 at each of the work stations. The ratchet bar 78 is exchangeable with other ratchet bars to suit different heading operations. The latches 66, 67, Fig. 6 (not shown) are spring biased outwardly but may be retracted by a wedge member actuated by a fluid-pressure cylinder 72, Fig. 2. The frame 48 is slidable transversely within a fixed frame 45, 46, Fig. 4, within which it is biased to the right by springs 52 and is moved to the left by a wedge 53 actuated by a fluid pressure cylinder 54. After a heading operation the sliding frame 48 and hence the tongs 59, 60 is moved to the left by the wedge 53 to free the workpiece 40 from the fixed vice-jaw 37; the carrier 50 then moves downwardly to transfer the workpiece to the next station. Means may be provided for rotating the workpieces between successive heading operations. The workpieces are preferably heated before heading.

Title: Improvements in and relating to hydraulic transmission gear for motor vehicles
IPC: F16H47/07
Filed: 1935-05-08
Abstract: 447,162. Motor vehicle hydraulic transmission gear. VOITH, VOITH, H., and VOITH, H., (trading as VOITH, J. M., [Firm of]), Heidenheim-on-Brenz, Germany. May 8, 1935, Nos. 13620 and 13621. Convention dates, May 8, 1934 and Aug. 7, 1934. [Class 79 (ii)] In a motor vehicle having a plurality of axles driven through hydraulic gearing from a single motor, each axle is driven independently of the other or others through an hydraulic gear having at least two hydraulic circuits for the same direction of travel. The full power of the motor can thus be divided between the axles, two speeds at least being provided by the different hydraulic circuits, and mechanical coupling between the axles being avoided. In the construction shown in Figs. 1 and 2, the engine shaft B<1> drives a shaft D carrying the primary elements of two hydraulic gears C<1>, C<2>. Each of these gears drives its corresponding axle A<1> or A<2> through a shaft H<1> or H<2> and bevel reversing gear K<1> or K<2>. Each hydraulic gear comprises two circuits c<3>, c<5> or c<4>, c<6>, the circuits in use being filled by a pump E provided with a single control member F. Three axles may be driven, each through a separate hydraulic gear. In the construction shown in Figs. 4 and 5, the hydraulic gears C<1>, C<2> are disposed transversely of the vehicle and their primary elements are driven in opposite directions by the engine B through bevel gearing b<2>, d<1>, d<2>. The inner hydraulic gears c<3>, c' may be couplings, and the outer gears c<5>, c<6> torque converters so that the latter, which are used for slow speeds, are in the most favourable position for cooling purposes. The hydraulic gear shafts H<1>, H<2> drive the axles A<1>, A<2> through bevel reversing gears K<1>, K<2>, cardan shafts J\ J<2> and bevel gearing i<3>, i<4>. The shafts J<1>, J<2> are inclined as shown, and are provided with universal and telescopic joints, all three portions of each shaft being normally coaxial. The axle gears i<3>, i<4> may be of different ratios and may be situated outside the wheel instead of inside, as shown, the shafts J<1>, J<2> also being outside the wheels. The reversing gears may be situated, on the axles instead of on the hydraulic gear shafts. The filling pump (not shown) may be driven by a bevel wheel meshing with the bevel wheel b<2>, Fig. 5.

Title: Processing aids for polyvinyl chloride
IPC: C08L33/06
Filed: 1965-04-01
Abstract: Processing aids for polyvinyl chloride comprise substantially linear copolymers obtained by polymerizing a mixture of 20-98.5% by weight methyl methacrylate, 0.5-40% by weight of ethyl acrylate and 1 to 40% by weight of glycidyl methacrylate, the copolymer having a viscosity average molecular weight from 150,000 to 2,000,000 and an intact oxirane ring in at least 85% of the glycidyl methacrylate units.  The polymers are generally granular and of such particle size that no more than 30% by weight is retained on a 200-mesh screen (U.S. Series).  The copolymers may be prepared by bulk polymerization, using a catalyst such as azobisisobutyronitrile and then grinding to desired particle size; or by aqueous emulsion polymerization using an emulsifier such as sodium dodecyl benzene sulphonate and a catalyst such as hydrogen peroxide/sodium formaldehyde sulphoxylate and spray-drying the product.  The copolymers can be admixed with polyvinyl chloride, e.g. in amounts of 0.5 to 25% by weight of the latter polymer, to provide extrudable, millable and workable polymer blends, which on cooling provide rigid products, e.g. sheets.  The blends may also include fillers, dyes, pigments, stabilizers (e.g. a barium-cadmium stabilizer) and plasticizers (e.g. phthalates, phosphonates, polyesters and epoxy compounds such as epoxidized soybean oil).
