Title: Improvements in or relating to means for releasably attaching articles to aircraft
IPC: B64D1/04
Filed: 1937-06-08
Abstract: 496,953. Bomb-dropping apparatus and the like. VICKERS (AVIATION), Ltd., PIERSON, R. K., and FIRMAN, R. A. June 8, 1937, No. 15838. [Class 9 (ii)] Relates to means for releasably attaching articles, such as mail-bags and bombs, to aircraft, said means being of the kind in which the article to be dropped is releasably carried by a slip which is connected to a cable and is adapted to be hoisted, together with the suspended article, into a housing on the aircraft by a winch, a plunger being provided in the housing to unlock the hook in the slip and thus release the article when it is to be dropped from the aircraft. According to the invention, a member is provided on the slip housing which is adapted to be moved by the slip itself as the latter is drawn into the housing in such a manner as to cause it to recock the plunger. As shown, the slip housing a is formed with depending end blocks a<1>, a<2>, to one of which is pivoted a lever b formed at its upper end and on one side with an abutment b<1> contacting with the end of an electrically operated plunger c and at its opposite side and intermediate its ends with a wedge-like projection b<2> which extends into the housing. The toggle locking link d in the slip e for the retaining device f for holding the slip hook e<1> in its engaged position, Fig. 1, is provided with a roller d<1> offset from its pivot pin d<2>, this pin being arranged in one of the top corners of the slip as shown so that when the slip is drawn into the housing a this pivot pin will engage with the projection b<2> on the lever b and rock it outwardly to cause it to move the plunger c into its cocked position. On operation of the plunger c, it acts through the lever b to strike the roller d<1> and thereby move the link d into its unlocked position, Fig. 3, releasing the slip hook e<1> which thereupon swings outwardly and allows the article suspended therefrom to fall.

Title: Improvements relating to electrical starting and stopping arrangements for knitting machines
Inventor: SHORTLAND ARTHUR
IPC: D04B15/99
Filed: 1955-06-03
Abstract: 798,839. Knitting-machines. MELLOR BROMLEY & CO., Ltd. May 31, 1956 [June 3, 1955; Nov. 1, 1955], Nos. 15990/55 and 31196/55. Class 74 (2). [Also in Group XXXVII] The control mechanism for an electric motor M driving a knitting-machine comprises start, stop and inch switches 13, 15, 16 and a retain switch 14 which is in series with a holding switch HS which maintains the operating coil OC energized to retain the motor contactor C closed after the start switch has been released. Fault detectors FD are coupled in the circuit of a stop motion relay SR forming part of the control mechanism such that in the event of a fault occurring the relay is energized to actuate a change-over switch CS to break the circuit of the holding switch HS and thereby cause the release of contactor C to stop the motor. Simultaneously the change-over switch CS completes the circuit of a brake solenoid BS which applies a brake shoe 55 to a drum 53 connected to the main drive shaft 54 of the machine. The brake is applied through a lever 59 moving a lever 61 about eccentric 57, Fig. 5. A time switch TS in the circuit of the brake solenoid breaks this circuit after a predetermined interval so as to enable the brake to be released. A switch 35 actuated by the lever 59 closes when the brake is applied and opens when it is released, and is coupled to the stop motion relay SR so that in the event of the brake failing to come off the stop motion relay is still operative and the motor cannot be operated by the start switch. The time switch TS is under the influence of an oil dashpot or air-operated delay device and is closed to couple the brake circuit by a part of the moving contactor C when the contactor is operated to start the machine. When in its inoperative position in which the brake is released, the time switch illuminates a lamp 36. Actuation of the stop switch 15 also energizes the stop motion relay with the same result as actuation of a fault detector. The retain switch is simultaneously opened to break the circuit of the holding switch HS. Operation of the inch switch 16, which normally completes the circuit of the stop motion relay SR and fault detectors FD, breaks this circuit and couples the operating coil with its supply, the retain switch being inoperative, however, prevents the holding switch from retaining the contactor in position so that continuous operation of the machine is avoided. Also, since the fault detector circuit is inoperative, inching can be managed with a detector in its fault indicating position. As applied to a circular knitting machine the start, stop, inch and retain switches are mounted in a box and operated by a hand control rail which encircles the machine so that its operation may be controlled from any position around it.

Title: Improvements in bladed projectiles
IPC: F42B10/16
Filed: 1931-06-02
Abstract: 375,517. Projectiles; fuzes. BRANDT, E. W., 101, Boulevard Murat, Paris. June 2, 1931, No. 16131. [Class 9 (i).] Relates to projectiles intended to be dropped from aircraft and provided at the rear with stabilizing vanes 4, Fig. 1, of cylindrical form with generatrices parallel to the axis of the projectile and mounted on pivots 5 parallel to the same axis, said vanes when folded being within the diameter of the projectile. According to the invention, the vanes are held in the folded position by a cap or ring which is pulled or turned to release the vanes before the projectile is dropped. In Figs. 2 and 3, a locking cap 8 has prongs 9 for holding the vanes, and these prongs have small bosses 11 fitting into holes in the vanes to keep the cap in position until forcibly pulled out when the projectile is put in the launching apparatus. When the projectile is dropped the vanes are opened out in opposite directions by springs 10. In a modification, a cap has a bayonet-like engagement with the inside of the tail tube 6 around which the vanes are mounted and is normally held in the locking position by a coiled spring. In another modification, Fig. 7a, the vanes 4 all open out in the same direction, and a locking cap 16 is provided with a handle 22 and a control spring 18 so that it can be pulled and turned to a locking position where prongs 16a on the cap fit in notches 18a in the tube 6 and in notches 17a in the vanes, or to the unlocking position shown where the prongs 16a fit in shallcwer notches 19a in the tube 6. In this case, only alternate vanes are locked by the cap 16, and each locked vane serves to lock the next one on its right. In another modification, Figs. 8, 9 and 10, projections 27 on the vanes 4 are locked by a flange 26 on a cap 25 held in the locking position against a spring 28 by a spring fork 30 the ends 31 of which fit in a groove 32 round the tube 6. The spring fork is held in place by a rider 33 with claws 34 in the groove 32 and by a staple 35. When the staple is removed, the fork can be pulled out by hand or by a pull from a distance by means of a ring 36, and the released cap 25 is ejected by the spring 28 which takes its bearing on a shoulder 29 in the tube 6. The cap 25 when ejected releases the vanes and pulls a safety pin from a fuze screwed to the projectile at 37. In another modification of this arrangemer.t, the cap is guided on a central stem. And in still another modification the locking device is in the form of a rotatable ring in front of the vanes between them and the base of the projectile.

Title: Improvements in or related to turbine discs, rotors, and blades
IPC: F01D5/30
Filed: 1946-05-28
Abstract: 623,557. Turbine and compressor rotors. ATKINSON, J. May 28, 1946, No. 16134. [Class 110(iii)] The rotor has a peripheral V-shaped groove, the sides of which are circumferentially serrated to receive corresponding serrations on the blade roots; after insertion, the blades are twisted about their longitudinal axes to bring their roots into locking engagement with the groove. The blade roots 9 are of substantially parallelogrammic section and the serrations 7 are preferably of substantially " buttress " form. The additional space required for the insertion of the last blade is afterwards taken up by spacing all the blades at equal intervals. The spaces between blades may be closed by peering over the metal at each side of the top of the root, leaving a central gap for the passage of cooling air. Alternatively, locking screws may be inserted into radially disposed threaded holes formed partly in adjoining blades. In a further alternative, each blade root is provided with a substantially semicircular recess 12 of semi-circular crosssection, a wire being forced into the mating recesses of adjacent roots. The wires may be cut to different lengths as necessary for balancing the rotor. Cooling air may be supplied through holes 13, or it may be fed to spaces between blade roots by way of radial holes in the roots communicating with the bore of a hollow rotor shaft. The rotor rim may be slotted radially at intervals between the blades to reduce stresses due to thermal expansion. Vanes for inducing a flow of cooling air over the outer faces of the rotor may be carried by or formed integral with one or both faces. According to the Provisional Specification, the rotor disc may be formed in two halves which are clamped together to hold the blades, and the serrated groove may have parallel sides. The blade roots may carry interlocking serrations.
