IPC: D05B31/00
Filed: 1970-07-14
Abstract: 1281678 Sewing fur strips F L OLDAY 14 July 1970 [22 Aug 1969] 34164/70 Heading DIG A guide for directing strips of fur to a sewing machine has surfaces 82 for sliding engagement with the skins of adjacent fur strips to be sewn and has a central strip separating blade 94 angularly adjustable with respect to the surfaces to allow for an imbalance of hair extending from the edges of the fur strip. Furs are fed in the sewing machine by a driven feed wheel 20 and a feed wheel 22 which can move towards or away from the fixed wheel 20 to accommodate different thickness of fur skins. The guide is positioned so that the adjustable blade 94 lies in the plane midway between the nearest points of the wheels 20, 22 and this position is adjustable as the wheel 22 moves for different thicknesses of furs by means of cams 66, 68. The cam 68 is attached to an adjusting screw 70 and the cam is fixed to a shaft 30 carrying the wheel 22 and so moves relative to the cam 68 as different fur thicknesses are experienced. A cam follower 64, connected to the guide carrying pipe 52 is moved by the cam 66 by half the distance moved by the cam thus keeping the blade 94 midway between the wheels 20 and 22. As the fur approaches the guide the pipe 52 is lowered by a treadle and the machine started. Air flows down pipe 52 and is directed by vanes 104 against the edges of the fur to be sewn. The air can be directed against one edge or the other by rotation of the nozzle 102. The nozzle 102 acts on control member 98 of pivotable blade 94 and it pivots about its point of attachment 100 to press against the fur edge which has previously been subjected to the air jet.

Title: Prestressed pavements
IPC: E01C7/16
Filed: 1954-11-26
Abstract: 758,624. Pre-stressed concrete; floors. PRELOAD CO., Inc. Nov. 26, 1954 [Dec. 3, 1953], No. 34335/54. Class 20(4). The method of pre-stressing a continuous slab such as a concrete roadway, an aircraft runway, or industrial floor comprises forming an abutment 10, Fig. 2, and a series of sections of slab 13 extending away from the abutment 10, with a joint between each section 13 and compressing the sections extending away from the abutment with compressive forces of decreasing amplitude at several successive joints. As shown each section 13 is provided at its ends with haunches 24 on which jacks 14 act, the sections 13 resting on a sub-base (not shown) constructed in any normal manner. The jack 14 between abutment 10 and the first section 13 applies a force of 900 pounds per square inch, the next jack applies 600 and the third 300. The joint between abutment 10 and the first section 13 is filled with mortar and when the latter has set the jack is released. Now the jack 14 between the first and second sections 13 is increased in force to 900 pounds per square inch and the following two jacks to 600 and 300 respectively. The second joint is then filled with mortar and the procedure repeated. When the last section is reached a fixed abutment similar to that 10 may be used in applying the full prestress. In a modification, Fig. 6, the first three sections 13J, 13K and 13L are used as the abutment, jacks between the sections applying forces of 300 and 600 pounds per square inch respectively. The three jacks applying forces of 900, 600 and 300 pounds per square inch are employed as before, that of 900 being between sections 13L and 13M. The joints between sections 13L, 13M, 13L 13K, and 13J 13K, are mortared and the procedure continued as before. High tensile rods 57, 58 unbonded to the concrete are prestressed and anchored to provide the extra compression to bring all three slabs 13J, 13K, 13L up to the same compression despite variations in the forces exerted by the jacks 14. The reinforcing rods may be placed obliquely to the longitudinal edges of the slabs. On curved sections, Fig. 5, more reinforcing steel 56 is provided than on straight sections, to prevent the section 13a from moving out of alignment, the steel 56 being prestressed and anchored by known means. In modifications the concrete is replaced by plastic material and glass fibres are substituted for steel.
