Abstract: 1,043,662. Making piston rings. MUSKEGON PISTON RING CO. Jan. 20, 1965, No. 2512/65. Heading B3A. [Also in Division F2] A piston ring of the type having radially extending flanges 16, 17 which are divided into segments by lines of separation which extend radially from some of a series of regularly spaced apertures 11, 12 is made by forming a score line 13 along the intended line of separation which terminates closely adjacent to, but spaced from the edge of the strip material and fracturing the strip material both along the score line and beyond the termination of the score line right to the edge of the strip material. The score lines 13 are formed in a strip of metal with a male die at the same time as the apertures are formed. The strip is then bent to a U-shaped crosssection, is wound into a coil while hot and the fractures are then formed along the score lines. The score lines 13 may taper in width and depth as they approach the edge of the flange and a shallow secondary score line may be formed on the opposite side of the strip which extends to the edge of the strip. The score lines may be formed at each end of each aperture 11, 12 but in this case not all of the score lines are fractured.

Abstract: 284,350. International General Electric Co., Inc., (Assignees of Allgemeine Elektricitõts-Ges.). Jan. 29, 1927, [Convention date]. Void [Published under Sect. 91 of the Acts]. Resistance furnaces.-In an electric furnace a of the kind using an inert atmosphere, the charge is supported on a vertically movable hearth band covered by a hood c which forms, with the hearth, a gastight unit adapted to be inserted into the furnace from below and within which the charge is allowed to cool after removal from the furnace. Inlet and outlet pipes d, e for hydrogen from a container h or generator k extend through the hearth b which is formed with channels f, o constituting seals for the cover c and furnace walls r respectively. The channel f is filled with paraffin or a readily fusible metal such as Woods' alloy or soft solder. In the space between the cover c and walls r, which contains the heating elements q, is maintained an atmosphere of nitrogen supplied and discharged through pipes m, n respectively.

Title: Improvements in sheet accelerating mechanism
IPC: B41F13/54
Filed: 1944-02-15
Abstract: 571,425. Delivery apparatus for printing &c. machines. WOOD NEWSPAPER MACHINERY CORPORATION. Feb. 15, 1944, No. 2818. Convention date, April 26, 1943. [Class 100 (i)] Apparatus for associating sheets cut from a half-speed roll W<2> with a full-speed web W comprises a flexible element, i.e. conveyer chains 103, travelling at a constant speed along a path including a curved part of gradually decreasing radius of curvature, the sheetcarrying devices extending radially outward from the flexible element so that the sheets are accelerated as the element moves along this curved portion of its path. As shown, two webs W, W pass side-by-side through printing couples and are printed on both sides. From the couples, each web passes over a turning-bar 72, 82 respectively and are associated over the drag-roller 77 of a longitudinal folder 78 before passing to rotary cutting, associating and folding apparatus 49. The web W<2> is half the width of the webs W, W<1> and is printed on both sides by passing it through one end of a supplementary rotary press, over turning bars 90 and then through the other end of the press. The supplementary press is driven from the main press by a change-gear so as to run either at half speed when the web W<2> is to be cut into sheets or at full speed when it is to be associated as a web with the webs W, W<1>. In the former instance, the web W<2> is severed into sheets by cutting-cylinders 96, 97 and the front edges of the sheets are engaged by pins 116 on chains 103 passing over sprockets 101, 105 on the respective shafts of the cylinder 97 and a roller 106 adjacent to the roller 77. The sheets travel between guides 58, 118 spaced away from the chains 103 which pass over guide plates 107, the surface of which has a gradually decreasing radius of curvature as it approaches the roller 106. At the roller 106 the points of the pins 116 and the guides 58, 118 are twice the distance from the centre of the roller 106 as are the adjacent parts of the chains 103, so that the speed of a sheet when it reaches that point has been increased to double that of the web W<2> or the same as that of the webs W, W<1>. The pins also pass. through the web W, which, together with the sheet is stripped therefrom by endless bands 119. By this arrangement a sheet is laid on alternate sections of the web W. A disc 126 may apply a line of paste near the appropriate edge of such alternate sections in order to attach the sheet to the web. The web W with the attached sheet is associated with the web W<1> over the roller 77 and passes to the longitudinal and rotary folding, cutting and associating mechanism. The sheet feeding and cutting mechanism enables an additional two pages to be added to a product when desired. By running the web W<2> at full speed and feeding it direct to the roller 77 over a guide roller 95, an additional four pages can be added to the product.

Abstract: 265,374. Intern a t ion a l Combustion, Ltd., and Rosencrants, F. H. Feb. 2, 1926. Addition to 234,327. Continuous-discharge apparatus, rotary.-The apparatus for drying coal &c. as described in the parent Specification is modified by the substitution of complete annular plates for the segmental plates and the provision of single steam inlet and exhaust pipes instead of a series of such pipes. As shown, the superposed annular plates 1, Fig. 1, having conduits 20 cast therein, are formed with lugs 3, Fig. 4, which engage with the vertical angles 4 of a central rotary structure which supports the plates and is suspended through a hollow steam supply shaft 10 upon a ball bearing 13, the lower end of the structure being steadied by a hollow steam exhaust shaft 29 mounted in a bearing 30. The apparatus is enclosed in a metal casing provided on opposite sides with conduits 40 through which the heating medium is supplied to and exhausted from the apparatus. In use, the coal is fed through the shoot 41 containing the rotary agitator 42 on to the rotary table 43 which feeds it through an opening in the top of the casing on to the uppermost plate from which it is diverted bv the fixed scraper 46 through a shoot 47 on to the next lowest plate; this action being repeated until the material has passed over all the plates and is discharged through an opening in the bottom 31 of the casing. During the passage of the material over the plates, steam is admitted to the plates from the upper shaft 10 through header 22 and the branch pipes 21 and is exhausted from the plates through the branches 23, header 24 and the lower shaft 29.

Abstract: 434,642. Superposed telephony and telegraphy. SOC. D'ETUDES POUR LIAISONS TELEPHONIQUES ET TELEGRAPHIQUES A LONGUE DISTANCE, 51, Rue de l'Amiral-Mouchez, Paris. Jan. 30, 1935, Nos. 3106 and 3107. Convention dates, March 29, 1934 and Oct. 19, 1934. [Class 40 (iv)] [See also Group XL] In superimposed telephony and telegraphy or like systems, direct-current telegraph instruments are separated from the line by a transformer or other quadripole which blocks directcurrent signals in order that the instruments may be protected against dangerous surges. To this end a carrier is modulated by the directcurrent impulses in a balanced modulator, so that double - current signals may be transmissible, and is passed through the transformer to eliminate direct-current impulses ; it is then demodulated. Thus direct-current impulses received at terminals 1, 2 pass through a balanced modulator 3, transformer 6, and demodulator 4, appearing as direct-current impulses once more at the output terminals 7, 8, whence they are sent to line. The modulator 3 and demodulator 4 are similar to one another in construction and may be modulatordemodulators of reversible type, so that signals may pass through the system in either direction. The transformer 6 may be replaced by any quadripole which excludes direct current. The invention may be applied to a phantomcircuit system, Fig. 2 (not shown).
