Filed: 1929-01-11
Abstract: 322,381. Crossley Motors, Ltd., and Wridgway, C. W. Jan. 11, 1929, Spray carburettors.-An air strangler in the form of a butterfly valve a located in the air inlet of a carburettor c, has a part b thereof hinged to the remainder. Normally, a spring d maintains the parts in one plane with the strangler in its closed position. The air supply is therefore cut off and a rich mixture for starting produced, but when the engine has started and produced a depression in the carburettor, the part b is drawn inwards to provide an entry for air. The spring normally forces a projection e on part b against a projection f on the other part. The strangle is manually actuated by an arm on its spindle g.

Abstract: 661,753. Making grid electrodes; soldering. WESTERN ELECTRIC CO., Inc. Jan. 14, 1949 [Jan. 15, 1948; Jan. 17, 1948] Nos. 1087/49 and 1088/49. Classes 83 (ii) and 83 (iv). [Also in Group XL (a)]. A grid electrode particularly for midget electron discharge devices, comprises a a frame having upright portions 25, 26 of arcuate crosssection and horizontal bracing straps 27, 28, a helical winding of fine wire, e.g. tungsten, embracing said uprights and extending over the area between the straps and being held on the uprights by fusible metal. The frame may be of molybdenum and constructed in two rectangular halves which are placed in abutting relation in a winding jig. When winding is completed the ends of the wire are fixed to the straps 27, 28 by reducible cement 33. A low melting-pointmetal, e.g. a few turns of gold wire 34 is then applied to the ends of the upright 25, 26 and the grid heated to approximately 1070‹ C. in hydrogen. This fuses the gold wire which flows along the longitudinal joints between the halves of the frame and brazes them together at the same time fixing the turns of the wire 31 thereto. Instead of applying the gold wire as above, the frame section and wire 31 may be gold-plated before winding. The cement 33 is evaporated during heating and the turns of wire outside the area between the straps are afterwards removed.

Abstract: 101,739. Barralet, T. E., and Parkinson Stove Co. Jan. 27, 1916. Stops, adjustable.-A valve device for use as a gas tap on a geyser or water-heater is fitted with a movable stop so arranged that the valve must be opened or closed in two stages. The actuating-handle 1 of the plug is slotted to receive a pivoted stop 2, pressed towards the plug by a spring 5 and adapted to work in conjunction with a flange 6 surrounding the plug. During the initial movement of the plug, the catch passes over a shallow recess to the inner side of flange and, when the valve is partly open, comes against a stop 9. To further open the valve, the stop must be passed through the gap provided to the outer side of the flange. Stops are provided to prevent the movable stop from being permanently held against the inside of the flange or moved past the gap on the outside of the flange during the closing movement. The stop may be actuated by a rod passing through the handle of the cock.

Abstract: 541,033. Glass melting furnace. BRITISH THOMSON-HOUSTON CO., Ltd. (Ferguson, J.). Jan. 31, 1941, No. 1325. [Class 39 (iii)] A rotary glass furnace comprises a refractory body 10 in a casing 11 which carries a ball race 12 on which the furnace is supported. A guide ring 16 co-operates with rollers 17 on brackets 18. Material is fed through a hopper 19 on to a partition 20 resting on lugs 21 with intervening passages to allow the material to pass into the chamber 23. A stack 26 extends upwards from a central opening 27 in the partition. Electrodes 30 are arranged in pockets 31 in an annular recess 33 and are connected by means not shown to slip rings 32. To start the furnace, scrap glass is introduced through the stack 26 and the furnace rotated at a speed greater than normal whereby the glass collects in the channel 33. A fuel burner is then inserted through the discharge opening 29 to melt the glass in the channel 33 whereby it becomes conducting, and the burner may be withdrawn. Heat is transmitted through the partition 20 to melt the material above, which passes down through openings 25. When sufficient molten glass has accumulated, the speed of rotation may be reduced to normal. A layer of molten glass defined by the line 37 collects in the chamber 23, the minimum thickness being at 38 whereby the current path is mainly confined to the channel 33. U.S.A. Specifications 2,006,947, 2,007,755 and 2,008,495 are referred to.

Abstract: 411,210. Copy-holders. MONAGHAN, G., 1, Westbourne Terrace, London. Jan. 16, 1933, No. 1359. [Class 100 (iii).] A line indicator for a copyholder comprises an arm carried by a bracket which is moved in a tubular guide by a coaxial reciprocating rod, a ball clutch or equivalent being provided to clutch the bracket to the rod during its downward movement only, together with means for releasing the clutch so that the bracket may be moved in the opposite direction, when necessary. The line indicator comprises an arm D of arcuate section hinged to a bar C which in turn is hinged to an extension piece V, projecting from a bracket B through a slot in the guide tube A. The bracket B is formed with a central opening in which are inserted balls M adapted to clutch the bracket B to the operating rod L when the latter is moved downwardly, but to release it during upward movement of the rod. The bracket is held in its adjusted position by a friction piece K or by an inflatable member G, and a tube N is slidably mounted on the rod L and is carried by the bracket extension V by a link W which connects a finger piece U on the tube N with a slot X provided on the extension V. The tube N serves to release the balls M when upward manual adjustment of the indicator is required. The rod L may be moved downwards by means of a hand or foot-operated cable Q, the return being obtained from the spring R. The operative movement of the rod may be obtained by means of a plunger and an electric solenoid. According to the Provisional Specification, the bracket is clutched to the rod by hinged slipper blocks, and the tube and rod are arranged separately from but parallel to one another.

Title: Process and equipment for producing sheet and strip by die-stretching
IPC: B21C37/02
Filed: 1948-01-19
Abstract: 646,469. Wire-drawing. OROWAN, E. Jan. 19, 1948, No. 1528. [Class 83 (iv)] Metal strip is reduced by advancing the stock through a die, applying tension to the strip by keeping the speed of travel of the stock entering to a constant fraction of the speed of the stock leaving the die and reducing the separation between the lips of the die while the first portion of the stock is passing until the pressure on the lips reaches a predetermined value and then maintaining the separation constant. The tension of the strip on the entry side should preferably exceed 40 per cent of the yield stress. The strip 5 to be reduced is fed from a coiler drum 4, round a tension roll 7 through a pass between die members 27, 28, round a tension roll 11 and finally on to a coiler drum 13. The tension rolls are geared together and driven so that the strip on the entry side of the die is under a tension not far from its yield stress. Further reduction may be obtained by returning the strip through the die from the coiler 13 to the coiler 4, the roll 7 then being driven at a higher speed than the roll 11. The die comprises upper and lower members 27, 28 of steel, metal carbides or other hard material supported in holders 30, 29, the upper holder being adjustable by screw means 31. The upper die member may be capable of flexing slightly within its holder and may be given a sufficient camber by means of screws 33 as to bring the edges into parallelism during working. Correct adjustment of the die is necessary in order to avoid an extension of the work taking place outside the die or an excessive die pressure. This adjustment is facilitated by an electrical strain gauge meter in association with the screw means 31. In operation, the strip is moved through the die and the die lips are then closed up until the required pressure is obtained, after which the die opening remains fixed. Cooling liquid is circulated through bores 34, 35 in the die holders or through the dies themselves or alternatively the dies are cooled by sprays or by being immersed in a liquid. The strip may be brought to its final gauge by a light drawing pass with little or no back tension.
