Abstract: 1,026,650. Sliding clasp fasteners. OPTIHOLDING A.G. Aug. 2, 1963 [Aug. 4, 1962], No. 30753/63. Heading E2S. In a sliding clasp fastener comprising a pair of flattened generally helical coils 1, 2 made of thermoplastic material and connected by sewing to one side of a pair of stringer tapes 3, 4, the portions of the turns of the coils which are remote from the stringer tapes are deformed in a direction towards the stringer tapes to provide each portion with an arcuate section 1a, 2a having its convex side facing the stringer tapes. The portions of the turns adjacent the stringer tapes may be similarly deformed in the opposite direction so that the section of each coil resembles a figure eight. The grooves in the coils formed by the deformations 1a, 2a are filled with textile material such as a string 7 or seams 8 to serve as ironing protection.

Title: Control mechanism for container-handling machines
IPC: B65B57/04
Filed: 1952-12-04
Abstract: 712,388. Photo-electric control systems. ARNOLD, J. C. (Pneumatic Scale Corporation, Ltd.). Dec. 4, 1952, No. 30839/52. Class 40 (3) In a conveyer system in which articles produced by one machine are conveyed to a second machine so that if the first machine is quicker in operation than the second, containers accumulate on the conveyer, photo-electric means detect the accummulation and switch off the first machine. As shown, bottles filled in a machine 10 are fed to a conveyer 14 by a rotary transfer disc 20 and after passing along the conveyer are transferred to a capping machine by a further transfer disc 24. If the bottling machine is operating faster than the capping machine bottles accumulate on conveyer 14. At one side of the conveyer is mounted an elongated photo-electric cell 86 mounted in a light-tight housing 49 except for an opening behind which is positioned a lens 76. At the other side is a fluorescent tube 50 positioned behind a narrow elongated slit 68 and a lens 72. Thus a flat strip of light crosses the conveyer passing through the glass bottom of bottles positioned on conveyer 14 and being focused by lens 76 on to the photo-cell. If sufficient bottles are positioned between the source and the cell so much light is diffused that the photo-cell is unable to maintain a relay 89, which it feeds through an amplifier 88, closed. The relay drops out and de-energizes the driving motor of the bottle-filling machine. The relay will also be de-energized if a bottle falls sideways on to the conveyer.

Abstract: 1,162,981. Covering cores by winding. GLOSTER SARO Ltd. 21 July, 1966 [21 July, 1965], No. 31122/65. Heading B8G. A mandrel 12 to be wound with layers of resinsoaked reinforcing filaments and associated with a filament traversing carriage 15 reciprocated by an endless chain 21, is characterized in that the chain 21 is adjustable in length and the ratio of mandrel revolutions to carriage traversals is selectable. A motor 24 drives the mandrel 12 through gearing 25. The motor 24 also drives the chain 21 through a two-speed reduction gear-box 26, a reversing gear-box 28 and transmission shaft 27. The chain 21 passes over end sprockets 22, 23; the position of sprocket 23 being adjustable to allow for the chain length when adjusted. The carriage 15 runs on rails 16 and carries a plurality of cheeses of fibreglass and two storage tanks, one containing a mixture of resin and catalyst and the other a mixture of resin and promoter. Each tank is pressurized to supply the mixtures to a common final soaking tank. The soaking tank contains rollers through which the glass strands are led for soaking, there being squeeze rollers for returning any surplus resin back to the tank. After leaving the squeeze rollers the strands pass through a comb from which they are led on a band of rovings on to the work being wound. Individual polythene tubes (20), Fig. 2 (not shown), guide the strands from the cheeses to a tension applying brake device, the purpose of the tubes being to prevent the yarn strands from snarling each other. The mandrel 12 is preferably collapsible and the bearings 13 supporting the mandrel can be adjusted to accommodate mandrels of different lengths.

Abstract: 262,792. Knapen, A. Dec. 8, 1925, [Convention date]. Stairs. - Masonry steps which are exposed to the weather, such as monument steps, are provided at tho joints with inclined draining and drying pipes 4 made of porous material and set in porous mortar.

Abstract: 1483024 Continuous casting VEREINIGTE METALLWERKE RANSHOFEN - BERNDORF AG 25 July 1975 [26 July 1974] 31256/75 Heading B3F Apparatus for continuous casting metal comprises a vertical mould assembly 14, feed means 11,13 above the mould for charging the mould assembly with smelt in free fall, and means for holding the mould assembly 14 selectively in a first position in which it is spaced vertically downwardly from the feed means, i.e. with an air gap therebetween, or in a second position in which it directly adjoins the feed means without an intervening air gap. A furnace 10 has a forehearth 11 with a pouring nozzle 13 controlled by a plug 12. The casting 16 passes to a rolling mill 17 through withdrawing rolls 15 and a speed controller 18. With the mould assembly 14 in the second position oxygen-free copper may be cast. A plurality of moulds in a vertically movable mould unit (Figs. 5 and 6, not shown) may be provided to be fed from an intermediate vessel (24) which is divided by a partition wall (25) into two chambers. One chamber (26) is connected to vacuum apparatus or scavenging gas, and the other one (28) has a plurality of feed control plugs (27). When the mould assembly is in its lower (first) position, e.g. for casting oxygen-bearing copper, a vacuum degassing or scavenging gas apparatus may be interposed between the forehearth 11 and the mould 14. The mould assembly is constructed (Fig. 3, not shown) with a funnel shaped graphite or sintered material insert (3) in which molten metal accumulates. A graphite dust or carbon black covering (19) may be provided on the surface of the metal in the funnel portion of the insert, or alternatively a graphite plate (20) (Fig. 4, not shown) may rest on top of the insert (3). The mould is fed through an inlet connected member (5) having an outlet of smaller cross-section than the mould cross-section. The insert (3) is surrounded by a chamber (21) which may provide heat-insulation, or may receive cooling or heating means. In a lower portion of the mould, a surrounding jacket (2) forms two spaced annular chambers (22), (23), the higher of the two providing primary cooling e.g. with hot water at 80‹ C., the lower one, providing secondary cooling with cold water. The chambers (22), (23) can serve as heat insulation or can receive heating means. Openings may be provided at the lower end of the chamber (23) so that cooling water, or alternatively a protective gas atmosphere, will surround the casting as it emerges from the mould.

C. signal representing the torque in a shaft, as measured by a differential transformer, is chopped at a frequency proportional to the shaft speed, and the resulting pulses are integrated to give a signal representing power, i. e. torque x speed. As shown, a rotating differential transformer 13 measures the twist on a shaft, the primary winding being fed with chopped D.
