Title: Improvements in or relating to machines for molding hollow glass articles
IPC: C03B9/22
Filed: 1940-11-21
Abstract: 545,549. Glass manufacture. PARFITT, A. W. Nov. 21, 1940, No. 16733. [Class 56] A machine for forming glassware comprises a rotary mould carriage, hydraulically actuated means for displacing the moulds relatively to the carriage during its rotation, and mechanical means for effecting the displacement should the hydraulic means fail to operate. The invention is described in connection with a machine of the Owens type the major operations of which are effected by hydraulically-operated mechanism, as described in Specification 545,548. The parison moulds are carried by dip heads which are raised and lowered, to dip the moulds into the molten glass, by a hydraulic piston motor. The action of the motor 108 is supplemented and positively controlled by mechanical means comprising a cam plate 195 rotated by the motor 114A that rotates the mould carriage. The plate 195 is provided with a cam track 196 which actuates a slide bar 201 connected to a link 204 slidably mounted on the piston rod of the motor 108. The lower end of the piston rod forms a stop to limit the downward movement of the link 204. If the motor 108 fails to lift a dip head, after the parison mould has gathered a charge of glass, the link 204, as it is moved downwards by the cam 196, draws the piston rod downwards and thus ensures that the dip head is raised. The link 204 does not actuate the piston rod in the normal operation of the machine. The sliding connection between the link and the piston rod permits the mechanical means to operate idly when any selected dip head is temporarily locked in its inoperative position. This is effected by mechanism comprising a cam which can be turned by hand into and out of operative position. In the operative position, the cam actuates a valve that prevents the motor 108 from functioning as the mould to be kept open passes the gathering point.

Filed: 1923-06-28
Abstract: 220,127. Western Electric Co., Ltd., (Western Electric Co.). June 28, 1923. Drawing wire; dies. - In a wire-drawing machine having dies designed for high-speed drawing, such as dies 5, Fig. 6, each of which comprises a parallel reducing part 9 approximately equal in length to the diameter and communicating with a straight tapered throat 7 by means of a curve having a radius R approximately equal to twice the diameter of the reducing section, the reeling-spool is driven by friction mechanism of such a character that the friction is automatically regulated by the tension in the wire. The dies are mounted in a holder 23 located between a series of independent sheaves 19 of uniform diameter, and a stepped capstan 17, which is driven by a motor mounted in the machine frame. The wire is drawn from a supply spool 25, and after progressing through the dies from the smaller to the larger diameter of the capstan, is finally led by way of an adjustable fixed guide pulley 30 and a pulley on a tensioning arm 33, to the reeling- spool 38, guide fingers 34 on a reciprocating arm 35 being provided in order to reel the wire uniformly. The reeling-spool is mounted on a spindle 52, Fig. 2, running in a sleeve 45 which is driven through worm-gearing from the capstan driving-shaft. Motion is communicated to the spool spindle from the driven sleeve by means of a friction clutch comprising members 48, 54, the latter of which is splined on the spool spindle and carries a thrust-pin bearing on a lever 63, which is under the control of an adjustable spring 69. The lever 63 is connected by a lever system to a sleeve 104, yieldingly connected to a rod 97 by a spring seated on ar. axially adjustable member 112. The rod 97 is connected to a link 95, which has a fixed pivot and is acted on by a roller carried on an extension of the wire-tensioning arm 33, a clock-spring connceted to the tensioning arm spindle may be set to give the required tension, and is retained in the set position by a pawl and ratchet-wheel 100. Should the wire break, the descent of the member 112 operates a rod 119 and link 120, thereby tripping a clutch mechanism and stopping the machine. Specification 220,117 is referred to.

Title: An arrangement for controlling the length of conversations, for telephone or like purposes
IPC: H04M3/12
Filed: 1920-06-23
Abstract: 169,768. Automatic Telephone Manufacturing Co., Ltd., Bates, P. T., and Newell, A. V. June 23, 1920. Time-alarms.-In a device for automatically giving a warning signal to two telephone subscribers at a predetermined time after they have obtained connection, when the called subscriber answers, a shaft. 3. Fig. 2, rotating at a uniform rate, is coupled by a jockey pulley 12 to a contact-controlling disc 7, which after a predetermined timeinterval closes the contacts 16, and causes the warning to be sent. Several contact-controlling devices, -individual to a number of connections, are associated with a common shaft 3. The invention is described as applied to an automatic exchange in which each connector H, Fig. 4, has associated with it a magnet 2, mounted on the base of the time-controlling device above the shaft 3, which is rotated step by step by means of a magnet 4, energized at definite intervals, say every half-minute, by a magnet 22 operating in a synchronome circuit. Individual to each magnet 2 and mounted below the shaft 3 is a gravity controlled disc 7, carrying a pin 14 adapted to close the contacts 16 after a predetermined movement of the disc. The response of the relay 20 at the commencement of a conversation, energizes the magnet 2, (individual to the connector in use), which in attracting its armature 10 causes the jockey pulley 12 to couple the shaft 3 with the disc 7. At each energization of the magnet 22 a circuit is also closed for an electromagnetic dashpot 23 which slowly falls away during the succeeding interval and momentarily connects a busy tone machine Q, over the contacts 26, to a common lead 25 connected to the contact springs 16 individual to all the connectors. After the expiration of, say 2¢ minutes, when the disc 7 has been moved five steps, the pin 14 engages the spring 15 and closes the contacts 16, in order that when the dashpot subsequently falls, the busy machine Q will be connected to the conductor 27, and a warning signal sent to both parties. The dashpot 23 may be dispensed with and the contact springs 16 arranged to be closed only momentarily by the pin 14.

Battery capsule A carrying sufficient batteries to power the apparatus, comprises mandrel 19 on which are mounted bumper nose 20 on the downstream end and vanes 25 which cause rotation of the 'pig' about its longitudinal axis. A, B and C are joined by universal joints 16. Each magnet assembly 33 carries a bumper 50 and is mounted on a mounting assembly including a dual pivot block 34 with coaxial pins 36 perpendicular to bore 35, in which pivot pin 37, secured to magnet assembly 33 by threads, rotates. Pins 36 rotate in a pair of arms 38, pivotally connected to a lug 39 by lug pin 40 to give the third axis of rotation of assemblies 33, which are yieldingly urged towards pipeline PL by annular resilient members 42 and 43 made of open cell foam polyurethane or foam rubber and each of which has a magnet M with pole pieces NO and SO. Detector holder 61 covered by shim 65 is urged towards pipeline PL by springs 60. Recess 63 is filled with a dielectric potting compound such as solid polyurethane. Fig. 16 shows how the twin magnetic diodes are orientated in magnetic opposition and connected in opposition, and Fig. 17 shows a preferred version. They are orientated in a semicircular path and arranged as in Fig. 9 so that the distance between adjacent diodes in each group is no more than half the longest linear dimension of flow 111 along said path i.e. about ¥". The groups of diodes 70, 80, 90 and 100 overlap and supply amplifiers 115-118. Filter 120 transmits only a number of the larger positive signals, caused by flaws, to voltage controlled amplitude to frequency converter oscillator 121 supplying magnetic tapedeck 122. Magnetic markers 124, Fig. 13, are placed at selected locations, preferably in opposition to the magnets M, so that as the sensors pass, the flux inside PL gives a predominantly negative signal to negative selective filter 125, inverter 126 and voltage controlled oscillator 127, which causes recorder 122 to record marker signals. The magnetic diodes preferably detect the flux parallel to the pipe axis. Different embodiments are described with different combinations and arrangements of diodes. In the embodiments of Figs. 11 and 20 (not shown) two groups of twin diodes are spaced along parallel spaced curved paths and connected to a differential amplifier to measure the difference of the magnetic flux.
