Title: Implement position indicator
IPC: E02F9/26
Filed: 1973-01-04
Abstract: 1421653 Shovel loaders INTERNATIONAL HARVESTER CO 4 Jan 1973 [14 Jan 1972] 574/73 Heading E1F [Also in Division F2] A tractor bucket loader has a gauge 50 readily visible to the operator for indicating the position of an hydraulic ram actuated bucket 22 in relation to its supporting boom arms 20, the bucket 22 being operatively connected to the gauge 50 by adjustable length linkwork 44. As shown, the linkwork 44 comprises a threaded rod 56 attached at 52 to the ram piston 60 and being adjustably screwed in a sleeve 46 which slidable telescopes, i.e. with lost motion, over a rod 48 connected to the gauge 50. Movement of the bucket 22 causes axial movement of the linkwork rod 48 to turn a lever 62 and hence a spring-loaded quadrant 64 carrying an indicator i.e. pointer 86 which cooperates with a scale 70 of the gauge 50. The gauge 50 may be mounted at the top of the loader boom in front of the operator (Fig. 1) or, in Figs. 4 to 6 (not shown), the gauge (120) may, by additional linkwork (108 to 126) be mounted on the tractor dash board 14. Any specific bucket position which the operator wishes to monitor may be readily indicated on the gauge by adjusting the screwed setting of the threaded telescopic linkwork 44 to vary the lost motion between the telescoping sleeve 46 and rod 48. The rod 48 is connected to the gauge indicator 86 via an abutment connection 76, 78 such that if the effective movement of rod 48 is greater than can be indicated on the gauge, the abutment connection 78 on rod 48 simply disengages from gauge indicator abutment 76 whereby further motion of rod 48 can be lost in the gauge without mechanical damage to the indicator assembly.

Title: Process and machine for shaping a string or band into serpentinelike configuration
IPC: B21D53/50
Filed: 1957-01-09
Abstract: 856,007. Corrugating. HANSEN, H. Jan. 9, 1957 [Jan. 16, 1956], No. 908/57. Class 83 (4). [Also in Group XXV] A machine for producing a serpentine-shaped structure comprises a screw spindle 6, a fixed supporting rail 7 extending along the length thereof, an endless band 8 provided with teeth engaging the screw thread of the spindle, and having one run extending along and supported by the rail, a toothed element 11 co-operating with the spindle thread adjacent one end thereof, and means for passing a string 2 between the spindle thread and the toothed element so as to form loops therein. The endless band 8 is guided over rollers 9, 10, Fig. 4; the string 2 is supported by the band 8, and is initially pressed into contact with the spindle thread by a second endless band 11 guided around rollers 12, 13 and offset from the longitudinal direction of the spindle; the string 2 is pressed into serpentine form so as to lie between the spindle thread and the teeth 14 of the band 11. From the point where the band 11 moves outwardly and upwardly from engagement with the supporting band 8, a guide rail 15 is provided which holds the string in engagement with the spindle throughout the remaining spindle length. The profile of the spindle thread may vary along the spindle length thus enabling the original serpentine form of the string to be progressively varied, Fig. 1. In another embodiment the endless band 11 is replaced by a toothed wheel, Figs. 6-9 (not shown), linked by a gear train to the rotating spindle which is driven by an electric motor. A heating element within the spindle heats the string after shaping, thereby removing internal stresses. The process is applicable to both non-metallic, e.g. nylon, and metallic strings of various cross-section. Specifications 828,310 and 850,862 are referred to.

Title: Method and device for the control of a stepping motor
Inventor: NTOGNINI LUCIANO
IPC: G04C3/14
Filed: 1993-04-01
Abstract: The method involves supplying to the motor drive pulses generated by a control circuit, determining by means of a measurement circuit a physical magnitude representative of the motion of the rotor, interrupting the drive pulse at a given instant defined by a calculating circuit according to the time taken by the physical magnitude to reach, in a comparator, a reference level, controlling by means of a missed step detecting circuit whether or not the rotor has effected a step, retrieving if need be a non-effected step, summing the number of missed or non-effected steps in a counting circuit, and modifying in a reference circuit the reference level depending on the number of steps that have been missed in a given period of time. The device for putting this method into operation enables the motor to operate under optimal security and energy consumption conditions and can be used to advantage in timepieces.
