Title: Improvements in multipoint mesh welding machines
Inventor: SOMMEREGGER HEINZ
IPC: B23K11/00
Filed: 1965-04-13
Abstract: 1,056,005. Welding by pressure. E.V.G. ENTWICKLUNGS UND VERWERTUNGSGESELLSCHAFT m.b.H. April 13, 1965, No. 15752/65. Heading B3R.  A machine for welding longitudinal wires of different diameters to transverse wires to form a wire mesh, for example for concrete reinforcements, comprises two or more pairs of bus-bars extending across the machine which are connectable to a similarly transverse row of electrodes so that individual electrodes can be selectively connected to the bus-bars to pass current of different intensity and for different periods of time according to the diameter of the longitudinal wire to be welded. Some of the pairs of bus-bars 7, 7a, 8, 8a, 9, 9a, Figs. 2 and 3 (not shown) may be divided into consecutive end-to-end sections across the machine and the various pairs of bus-bars are connected, through transformers, to the phases of a polyphase electrical supply. The bus-bars are all closely grouped together, Figs. 4 to 7 (not shown), but separated electrically by insulating inserts 10. Rider-like electrode holders 11 provide selective connection of the electrodes 3 with a face of one of the bus-bars but are insulated from an opposite face of another busbar by an insulator 12. Turning the holder 11 through 180 degrees enables the said opposite face to be connected to an electrode 3. Single or double point welding current paths may be formed, possibly in association with passive current bridges.

Title: Transportable planting machine with circulating planting funnels or grippers
IPC: A01C11/02
Filed: 1929-05-24
Abstract: 313,913. Blass, S., (Assignee of Posnanski, C.). June 19, 1928, [Convention date]. Planting-machines.-In plant - setting machines having moving funnels or grippers &c. for receiving the plants and carrying them to the planting position, the plant-receiving devices are driven and controlled in such a way that they are near to one another at the receiving position and move apart before the plants. The spokes a of the star-shaped planting-wheel are rotatably mounted independently on a shaft o and are each provided with an eccentric cam-shaped spur wheel b gearing with a similar wheel c on a shaft d. The spur wheels c are rigidly connected together and uniformly distributed angularly about the shaft d. They are driven by gearing from the travelling wheels. The arrangement is such that the spokes a move slowly about the shaft o at the upper part of their path and move quickly at the lower part. They move rearwardly relatively to the machine at the lower part of their path at such a speed as to be at a standstill relatively to the ground.

Title: Intermittent film-feeding mechanism for cinematographic view taking apparatus
IPC: G03B1/22
Filed: 1927-06-16
Abstract: 274,831. Debrie, A. L. V. C. July 22, 1926, [Convention date]. Kinematograph apparatus. - In a claw feed mechanism, the claws are mounted on a carriage which reciprocates along and pivots round a guiding rod, the movements being effected by a member rocked by an eccentric or cam; registering pins may also be reciprocated by the rocking member. As shown, fed claws project from a carriage 22 which reciprocates vertically on a rod 23, reciprocation being effected by a member 18, having a slot 20 engaging a projection 21 on the carriage. The member 18 pivots about a fixed pin 17, and is rocked by an eccentric 14, or a cam, on the shutter shaft 12 rotated through worm gearing 10, 11 by a hand crank on a shaft 9. The member 18 also carries a curved rod 24 engaging in a stepped slot 25 in a lug projecting from the carriage 22, the engagement causing the claws 6 to enter and leave the film perforations as required. The rod 24 also passes through a stepped slot 26 in a lever 27 movable, in a horizontal plane only, about the rod 23, the slot being so shaped as to cause registering pins 8 on the lever to enter film perforations between feed movements, and to be free from them during such movements. The member 18, is guided by curved guides 19, 19<1> so as to move parallel to the film.

Abstract: 1,094,258. Grinding; boring bar. F. D DAN and M. LANDION. April 14, 1965 [April 14, 1964], No. 16111/65. Headings B3C and B3D. A nachining device comprises a first rotatable part 1, Fig. 2, for attachment to a machine tool 2 for driving the device in rotation, a second part 3 arranged for rotation with the first part and having means for carrying a tool, such as a grinding wheel, and a dovetail slide which enables the tool to effect a planetary movement of adjustable amplitude with respect to the first part. The second part 3 is also capable of reciprocating movement in the device and is supported in a bore 28a in a body 28. The upper end of part 3 is connected by a pivot 20 to a link 9b having its other end on a pivot 19 extending from a link 9a secured by a bolt 18 and T-part 16 to a shaft 15 rotatable in a hollow body 13, the effective length of the link 9a being adjustable to control the stroke of part 3 when the shaft 15 is rotated. Rotation of the shaft is effected during rotation of the hollow body 13 by successive teeth 8 on a gear 7 formed on the shaft engaging a helical groove 10 in an annular member 11 which can be held against rotation by a pin 5b in a part 5 held stationary during rotation of the hollow body 13 which is secured by a bolt 21, Fig. 1 (not shown) to a circular body 22 secured by a member 23a, 23b and an eccentric pin 24 to the part 1. The rotation of the hollow body 13 is imparted by the dovetail slide to the body 28 carrying the part 3 and the axis YY of the part 3 is adjusted radially of the axis XX of the part 1 by movement of the body 28 along the slide, the movement being effected by rotation of a ring 37 which is mounted on a ball bearing 38 on the stationary part 5 and has an internal thread engaging a thread on a ring-shaped element 31 having a conical inner surface 30 abutting the end of a pin 29 mounted in the body and pressed against the surface by a spring 33. Rotation of the ring 37 vertically displaces the element 31 to move the body 28 along the slide. The lower end of the part 3 is also formed with a dovetail 3a adjustably engaging a slide 4c in a turbine 4 or similar device which carries the grinding tool 4a and is connected by a flexible pipe 4b to a source of compressed air. Tapered surfaces may be ground by adjusting the angle of inclination between the axis YY of part 3 and the axis XX of part 1 by means of a collar 39 having one surface normal to the axis XX and the other inclined thereto, the collar being adjustable relative to both parts by an amount determined by graduations on the part 1 co-operating with an index mark 40 on the collar, a mark 41 on the circular body 22 associated with the part 3 being retained in alignment with the zero of the graduations. In use, the part 5 is held stationary by a ball detent which releases the part if a predetermined tangential force on the part is exceeded.

Abstract: 145,045. Elektro-Osmose Akt.-Ges. (Graf Schwerin Ges.). Jan. 9, 1915, [Convention date]. Filter presses. - During the leaching or washing of animal, vegetable, or mineral substances by liquid forced through under pressure, an electric current is passed through them, to assist in the transport of the liquid in a direction dependent on the electro-positive or electronegative character of the material. As shown, the material 8 is placed between perforated electrodes 3, 4 through which the liquid enters and leaves the material respectively. The electrodes, which may be faced with filtering material 5, 6, are clamped at their edges between a frame 9 and two plates 10 having ribs 7 bearing against the electrodes. Passages 1, 2 serve for the supply and escape of the liquid. A number of frames and plates may be arranged in a series and may be used as an ordinary filter-press, inlets being formed in the frames 9. Any electrolytic product liberated at the electrode through which the liquid enters is washed away either periodically or by allowing a part of the liquid to flow continuously away from that electrode.
