Abstract: 1368115 Weighing apparatus CONRAIL A B 9 Sept 1971 [21 Sept 1970] 42170/71 Heading G1W To weigh a rail-guided vehicle, a device is provided which comprises a frame including two beams 5 which are supported transversely of the main rails either on the rails on which the vehicle runs or on the rail foundation, and two vehicle supporting portions 2 which are supported on the frame by load sensing means such as load cells 4, the portions 2 being parallel to and adjacent the main rails, either within the main rails (as shown) or outside the main rails Fig. 5 (not shown) the portions 2 being connected either by a flexible portion of the supporting means 3 (as shown) or by a transversly extending axle or torsion member Figs. 4 and 7 (not shown) so that the portions 2 can move angularly relative to one another about an axis which is perpendicular to the portions 2 and is in the plane thereof. Stops 11 prevent movement of the frame along the main rails and tie rods 8 protect against side loads. As a vehicle moves over the device its wheels ride up on sections 7 of the portions 3 and its weight is sensed by the load cells 4, which may be of compression, shear or bending type. As in Figs. 8 and 9 (not shown) the frame may have small wheels (17), (18) by which the weighing device can be moved along the main rails.

Abstract: 1,125,827. Housing and tending livestock. ALFA-LAVAL A.B. 22 Sept., 1966 [27 Sept., 1965], No. 42300/66, Heading AIM. Individual animals or groups of animals are transported in succession by mechanical transport means between a number of separate tending stations at which the transport means stop and the tending operations are carried out while the animals remain on the transport means. As described cows are housed individually in boxes movable on rails by means of a programme-controlled driving arrangement. The cows move first to a washing station 1 where their teats and udders are washed before they move into the milking station 2. At 3 a container in the box is automatically filled with drinking water and at 4 a predetermined quantity of concentrate, corresponding to the cows milk yield, is fed into a manger in the box. Hay or other coarse fodder is supplied at 5. Manure-receiving containers in the boxes are emptied and cleaned at 6. Sleeping quarters are provided by a dark chamber 7 and the cows are taken out of the programme-controlled circulation e.g. when calving and housed in compartment 8. The invention may also be applied to other animals e.g. pigs.

Abstract: 1,136,324. Display system. RECOGNITION EQUIPMENT Inc. 27 Sept., 1966 [27 Sept., 1965], No. 43000/66. Heading G5C. A display device comprises several arrays of display discs, which arrays of discs 65 &c. are arranged (see Fig. 2), in a number of columns and rows, and which are rotatably mounted on a plurality of horizontal shafts 67 &c. along the diameters of the discs so as to form the rows in such a way that one face or the other of any disc is presented to one side of the array. A large number of these arrays 30, 31, 32 &c. are vertically mounted from an endless chain drive 20 (see Fig. 1), and are carried past compressed air nozzles 35 which correspond in number and which register with the rows of discs. Air is blown therefrom in a pre-programmed manner against the top of the inward facing face of the selected discs, causing them to rotate about their mounting shafts and so present the similarly contrasted display faces of the discs in such a way as jointly to form a coherent symbol. Suitably, the rear faces of the discs are coated with matt black, while the display face is coated with' a contrasting fluorescent surface, the display housing including U.V. lamps 48 and reflectors 49 which cause the displayed symbols to fluoresce. The symbols so formed are erased after display by other compressed air jets (not shown), which operate on the discs from the other side of the vertically hung arrays. The device is stated to be capable of operating at speeds which match the feed of information over a wide range, and a suitable control system and matrix for programming the device is described in detail.

Defects in the bottom of transparent containers are detected by focusing at least one beam of radiant energy on to the bottom of the container, rotating the container, and providing a plurality of axially spaced distinct radiant energy paths so that a defect reflects radiant energy along at least one such path to detector means. Containers C, Fig. 1, are moved to an inspection station 12 where they are raised and rotated by a vacuum pad 13 to a position where the bottom is illuminated by upwardly directed light beams L 1 , L 2 , L 3 , L 4 . Defects such as bottom checks reflect light upwardly to a detector unit 25, which comprises collimating slots 27, Fig. 9, which diverge from the focal point of beams L 1 , L 2 , L 3 , L 4 , and an array of parallelly connected photovoltaic cells 29.

Title: Winding machine for single coiled or coiled coiled filaments
IPC: B21F3/04
Filed: 1974-10-08
Abstract: 1478475 Winding wire RADIUM ELEKTRIZITATS-GmbH 8 Oct 1974 [8 Oct 1973 1 Aug 1974] 43595/74 Heading B3E A machine for intermittently winding single or coiled coil filaments, is provided with a multiple pulley system arranged symmetrically about the winding axis and having relatively movable pulleys so that it can store the wire or coil to be coiled for a successive filament during a pause after winding a preceding filament. In Fig. 1, pulleys 9, 10, 11, and 12 are mounted on the winding spindle 2 which carries the winding head, and pulleys 5, 6 are on a sleeve 8 rotating with the spindle but displaceable axially relative to it. When the winding of a filament finishes, pulleys 5, 6 retreat from pulleys 9-12 during the winding pause, taking up enough wire or coil from reel 1 to wind the next filament. During winding of the next filament this is paid out, no more being taken up from the spool 1 which can therefore rotate with sleeve 8 and the winding spindle 2 and winding head. Fig. 3 shows the drive and control system, wherein motor 32 drives sleeve 8 and winding head 18 through clutch 31, winding being stopped by a brake 30. The supply spool 1 can be driven by motor 15 through clutch 16, or connected to the winding head through clutch 19. Tension is applied to the feed wire or coil by a torque motor 21 acting axially on sleeve 8, displacement of which operates limit switches 17, 20. The core wire is fed by a capstan driven by motor 23. A pulse generator 22 indicating the number of turns wound feeds presettable counters 27 and 28. During a winding pause, motor 15 drives the spool 1 so that wire is taken up by the pulley system until limit switch 11 is operated. During a winding operation, the spool, sleeve and winding head are driven by motor 32, the winding pitch being determined by the operation of motor 23 controlled by counter 27 at speed related to the winding speed in dependence on the counter setting. The winding operation is terminated by counter 28. In another embodiment, the drive and control system continues feed from spool 1 during the winding operation.

The glycol vapour can be introduced as a saturated vapour or as a superheated vapour. The glycol vapours fed to the reactor can be diluted, if desired, with an inert gas, such as nitrogen or carbon dioxide. Suitable temperatures and pressures for the esterification of terephthalic acid and ethylene glycol range from 200 to 300‹ C. and 1 to 10 abs. atm. respectively.

The operating rod 70 of a clutch 64 is connected to a depending lever 21 carrying the pedal 22 by a control toggle linkage mounted on the lever pivot 18 and having an arm 33 pivoted to the upper end of a rod 36 whose lower end is connected to a link 63 pivoted at 76 and connected at 80 to the rod 70. The arms 21, 33 are integral with a first toggle link 37 connected at 41 to a second toggle link 47 connected by a control link 46 to a member 32 also carried by the pivot 18. In the clutchengaged position shown a tension spring 51 between pivot 18 and the pivot 48 of links 46, 47 holds the end of toggle link 37 against an abutment formed by the pivot 42 connecting members 32, 46, and as the arm 21 is moved for disengagement links 37, 47 are first straightened against the force of spring 51, but as the dead centre is passed the spring assists the disengaging movement. The mechanism may be adjusted by releasing a bolt 44 and rotating the control linkage about pivot 18, the spring 51 serving to maintain the link 37 against pin 42 so that the toggle setting is not altered. A modified arrangement, Fig. 8, comprises first and second toggle links 109, 123 loaded by a spring 116, and members 117, 124 corresponding with members 32, 46.
