Abstract: 360,974. Forging-machines. BENEDETTO, G., 45, Via Dante Alighieri, Novara, Italy. Aug. 15, 1930, No. 24476. [Class 83 (iv).] An upsetting machine as described in Specification 352,508 is provided with a transformer having its windings so spaced apart that the leakage reactance is large enough to prevent undue rise of current when the resistance of the secondary circuit drops during upsetting. The primary winding is formed of single thickness disc type coils wound from copper strip, a strip of insulation being wound with the copper strip to insulate between turns. The ends of the coils are connected to bars 34, Fig. 2, mounted on supports 35, 36. The secondary comprises a number of U- shaped single turns 27 connected in parallel, which alternate with the primary coils. Each secondary turn consists of a copper or aluminium-bronze casting 27, Fig. 4, having a channel 30 for cooling fluid. The ends of these turns connect to terminals 15, 16 which are provided with channels that allow cooling fluid to be circulated through the whole secondary. The windings are insulated from the core 20 by a layer of presspahn 29 and tubes of resin-impregnated insulating material 28, and from one another by insulated spacing rings 31. Tappings are taken from the primary winding to a switch for voltage regulation. A safety switch in series with the primary circuit is operated from the push-bar of the upsetting machine so that current is cut off when the material has been upset a certain amount.

Title: An improved prepayment meter for use with coins of different denominations
IPC: G07F15/02
Filed: 1936-09-12
Abstract: 476,454. Prepayment mechanism for meters. LANDIS & GYR AKT.-GES. Sept. 12, 1936, No. 24898: Convention date, Sept. 21, 1935. [Class 27] Coin action, thrust, with delivery proportionate to value of coin.-In a prepayment meter for optional use with any one of several coins insertable through a single slot into a stationary pocket, a coin, on insertion, displaces a detent, e.g. a slotted gate plate, to a position dependent on its diameter, and the detent co-operates with a stepped disc or other element in the transmission from the actuating handle to the quantity mechanism to stop further actuation of the quantity mechanism after it has been set forward by an amount proportional to the value of the coin, a spring then absorbing the further rotation of the handle. The principal constructional form of the invention described is identical with that described in Specification 476,453 to which reference is made. Modified forms are also described. In Fig. 2 (not shown), the gate element is in the form of a slotted arcuate plate integral with the coin actuated abutment lever, the co-operating stepped disc having its axis at right-angles to the main shaft and connected thereto by bevel gearing. In Fig. 3 (not shown), the gate element is also directly secured to the coin actuated lever, but the axis of the co-operating disc is parallel to the main shaft. In Fig. 4, a detent lever 51 pivoted at 52 has a roller 55 engaged by a cam track 54 on an arm 56 turning with the coin actuated abutment 8. When a penny is inserted, the roller passes over the cam track 54 and enters a notch 541, the detent lever 51 being brought to a position in which it arrests the rotation of the disc 29<111> by engagement with a first notch 33. In the case of a sixpence or shilling, the roller 55 is brought to corresponding positions on the cam track 54, and the disc 29<111> arrested by engagement of the detent 51 with notches 34<1> and 35<1> respectively after it has rotated by an amount proportionate to the value of the coin in each case. If an incorrect coin is inserted, a star-wheel 57, rotated by a toothed quadrant 60 on the detent lever 51, displaces a lever 61 linked with a pivoted pawl 64 which engages a ratchet 65 secured to the disc 29<111> which is consequently held against rotation. Specification 476,452 also is referred to.

Abstract: 1,161,355. Disc brakes. ERNST HEINKEL A.G. 31 May, 1967 [30 June, 1966], No. 24995/67. Heading F2E. In a disc brake having a fixed or a floating caliper housing the spine 1a of the caliper housing 1, 2 of integral or unitary form has at least one bore 8 extending substantially parallel to the axis of the brake disc into which at least one threaded bolt 20 is screwed in position until a predetermined longitudinal tension in the bolt is reached such as to strengthen the caliper housing. As shown in the Figure the bolt 10 has a cylindrical collar 11 from which the actual bolt head (not shown) projects by way of a neck portion 12. The neck portion 12 has a lower torsional strength than the bolt 10 so that, as the bolt is screwed into the bore by means of the bolt head, the neck portion 12 eventually breaks off. The bolt 10 is thus fixedly located with a predetermined longitudinal tension in the spine 1a of the brake caliper. A plurality of bolts 10 may be fitted to provide the desired pre-stressing.
