Title: Improvements in or relating to apparatus for conveying objects at different levels
IPC: B65G17/12
Filed: 1964-09-17
Abstract: 1,029,508. Transference between endless conveyers. CHAMBON Ltd. Sept. 17, 1964 [Sept. 23, 1963], No. 37992/64. Heading B8A. An apparatus for transporting objects on trays 7 at different levels comprises a plurality of horizontal superposed endless conveyers 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, one at each level and each conveyer having spaced cup members 1c on each of a pair of parallel endless chains, engaging transverse spindles on the trays 7 to drive the same, a device 31 at one end of each conveyer to transfer each tray between the two runs 11, 21 of the conveyer and a device 41 at the other end to transfer each tray between the low run 21 of one conveyer 1 and the upper run 12 of the adjacent conveyer 2, the trays being maintained horizontal during these transfers. The tranfer devices at both ends of the conveyers operate identically apart from the fact that the devices 31, 32 are mounted on a slidable frame resiliently urged to tension the conveyer. The transfer device 41, Fig. 6, comprises two pairs of wheels 62, 64 rotatably driven in synchronism with the adjacent conveyers 1, 2 by gears 84, 68, 67, 66, 69, 71. During movement along the conveyer runs the spindles 7a of the trays are guided between rails 8, 9. As a tray 7 approaches the transfer device 41 the leading spindles 7a pass the wheels 62 with clearance afforded by the flat 62b thereon and pass over the end of lever 74 pivoted at 75 and outer stationary rails 79. The levers 74 are held in a position for supporting the leading spindles 7a by pins 78 eccentrically fixed to the wheels 64 and engaging the underside of hooked forward ends of the levers 74. With further forward movement of the tray 7 the leading pin engages the outer side of the lever hook causing its remote end to lift whereupon the trailing pins of the tray pass under that end, and the tray spindles engage recesses 62a, 64a in the wheels. The tray is thereby lowered, the spindles being held in the wheel recesses by curved rails 85 and pivoted curved rails 76 until the spindles are engaged by the chains of the lower conveyer. The rail 76 pivots out of the path of the trailing spindle as it then moves with the chain 12. All the transfer mechanisms and conveyers are driven by a common motor. Partitions 10 may be utilized between adjacent levels and conveyers of different lengths may be employed at different levels depending on the treatment time and type.

Title: Improvements in or relating to telephone systems
Inventor: HALL PETER MALCOLM
IPC: H04M19/02
Filed: 1956-12-14
Abstract: 818,098. Automatic exchange systems. AUTOMATIC TELEPHONES & ELECTRIC CO. Dec. 2, 1957 [Dec. 14, 1956], No. 38158/56. Class 40 (4). In a graduated howler circuit, the discharge of a condenser C1 through a high resistance R2 varies the gain of a tube VB in order to pass the output of a tone oscillator VA with progressively increasing amplitude. The supply unit HSU, which may serve the whole exchange, is connected with a number of distribution circuits DC one on each first selector rack. When a cord connection is made between jack J and the access path of a selector which is held by an offending subscriber relay X, energizes over the sleeve followed by ST. Relay HT starts the oscillator VA and condenser C1 charges rapidly. After an interval relay Y pulls up and C1 discharges slowly, allowing tube VB to conduct after about 20 seconds and the gain to increase to a maximum after a further 12 seconds. When the subscriber hangs up, ST falls back and cuts off the tone and lamp LP 1 lights. If connection is made to a second jack J while the unit HSU is in use C1 recharges so that the tone output ceases and then builds up afresh.

Title: Automatic load weight balancing system
IPC: G05D15/00
Filed: 1973-08-15
Abstract: A motor (4) moves a load hook (11) via a gear (7), a drum (8) and a cable (10). By means of a set-value potentiometer (1) which is attached to the load hook, a set value for the lifting speed is entered by means of a control lever (2). The difference between this set value and an actual value measured by means of a tachometer (6) is amplified in an amplifier (3). The output of the amplifier drives the motor (4). In order to be able to keep the load (12) at a constant height independently of interfering influences, an equilibrium signal generator (13) is additionally provided. The latter comprises a slip coupling which is connected to the drive shaft of the drum (8) and whose power output element actuates a three-position switch. The output of this switch is fed back to the amplifier (3) via a PI controller. The equilibrium signal generator thus matches the torque of the motor automatically to the suspended load. <IMAGE>

The plant may be used in conjunction with a coke oven battery provided with the usual collecting mains and condensers and comprises an insulated still 20 to which gases are passed from the retorts 2 through uptake pipes 21 provided with closures 23 operated by handles 24.  The tar is supplied through a spray head 38 arranged between packed sections 39, 40 in a settling tower 28 placed at the exit end of the still so that the tar is dehydrated and partially distilled by the hot gases before entering the still. Settling towers with baffle-plates are also described.  The residual tar is collected in a gutter 41 and passed through an insulated pipe 42 into the still 20.  The gases and vapours on leaving the tower 28 through a pipe 30 are passed to a three-stage condenser 31, Figs. 10, 11 and 12, comprising a first section 34 in which the vapours are cooled by indirect contact with the tar to be distilled passing through tubes 36, and two lower sections in which condensation is effected by circulation of water through tubes 33 and by spraying condensate from the upper sections through spray heads 67, 68.  The tar may be introduced directly into the still instead of into the settling tower 28 in which case the latter may be of open formation, or provided with inclined baffles. The rotating rolls 48, 49, 50 by which the tar is sprayed into the hot gases are of similar construction to those described in Specifications 303,165 and 303,166, [both in Class 32, Distilling &c.], and the gas and tar may be passed through the p  still in co- or counter-current.  More effective spraying of the tar is obtained by filling the corner of the still opposite the rotating roll with a ramp 71, Fig. 3.  Specifications 282,367, 284,703, 286,278, [all in Class 32, Distilling &c.], and 345,272 also are referred to.
