Title: Improvements in or relating to circular knitting machines
IPC: D04B9/10
Filed: 1933-02-06
Abstract: 413,042. Knitting-machines. SPIERS, Ltd., W., XL Works, Walnut Street, SPIERS, E., Rockford, Wimbourne Road, Ventnor Road, and SMITH, H. N., 203, Overton Road, all in Leicester. Feb. 6, 1933, No. 3580. [Class 74 (ii).] A circular rib machine of the double-cylinder type having three or more feeds is provided with patterning mechanism for controlling a set of needles, e.g. the plain needles, so that during a single course of circular knitting, needles which knit at one feed do not knit at another feed. The invention is described in connection with a superposed cylinder machine for producing seamless hosiery and in which the patterning mechanism operates upon the plain needles 5 during IXI rib knitting. Sliders 5<a> having knitting butts 5<b> only are disposed beneath the plain needles 5, and sliders having butts 5b and transfer butts 5<e> are arranged in the intermediate tricks. Patterning jacks 6 having butts 6<a>, 6b for actuation by cams 24-26 and 21-23 are provided beneath the sliders 5<a>, and selector jacks 7 with butts 7b to engage with horizontally disposed selecting cams 31, and laterally turned tails 7<a> for action on the jacks 6, are arranged beneath the intermediate sliders. The cam 31 are controlled by a pattern drum or cylinder. Jacks 6, 7 unaffected by the cams 31 at a feed are raised by the cams 21-23 to cause the corresponding plain needles to knit at that feed. Needles so caused to knit at, e.g. feed 1 by pattern drum 30, pass into a non-clearing track 16 so as to pass below the stitch cam 11 at feed 2, and enter the non- clearing track 17 to pass below stitch cam 13 at feed 3. Cams 27-29 are provided for moving outwardly jacks pressed inwardly by the cams 31 so that they are brought into the path of the succeeding cams 21-23. Pattern drum 30<a> acts upon the cams 31 to select jacks not raised by the cam 21, so that those not pressed inwardly by the cams 31 are raised by cam 22 so that the corresponding needles receive yarn and knit at feeder 2. These needles pass into track 17 and do not knit at feeder 3. The remaining needles receive yarn and knit at feeder 3. The down-throw cam 26 is of greater depth than the cams 24, 25 to depress all jacks for reselection by pattern drum 30. Means are provided so that during the formation of the heel and toe, all of the heel and toe needles are caused to knit during motion in one direction, and alternate needles only are caused to knit during motion in the other direction. The patterning action may be restricted, when desired, to a particular group of needles, so that a pattern instep and plain foot bottom can be produced. Specification 351,046, is referred to.

Title: Improvement in dough depositing machines
IPC: A21C5/04
Filed: 1927-02-08
Abstract: 285,245. Copland, A. W. Feb. 8, 1927. Depositing-machines ; feeding and measuring. -A predetermined quantity of dough is severed and delivered smoothly by means of a blade 6, which is first slid into a curved chamber 2, Figs. 2 and 10, then rotated in a counterclockwise direction, next withdrawn from the casing, and finally returned to the initial position, when the same operation is repeated. The blade 6 is slidably mounted in a shaft 8 and has a crosshead 11, Fig. 11, connected at each end to a slide 10 moving in a diametrical slot in a flange 9 on the shaft 8. A roller 16 on the slide 10 fits into a segmental slot 15 in a member 12, which has a radial slot 13 engaged by a roller 14 in line with the shaft 8 and carried bv a, housing 7 keyed to the flange 9 and shaft 8. The member 12 thus guided is attached to one end of a rod 20 connected at its other end to a lever 22, which is mounted on a pivot 23 and provided with arms 24, 25 carrying rollers 27, 28 bearing on cams on a main shaft 31. The housing 7 is similarly connected by a link 37 to a lever 38 mounted on a pivot 39 and provided with a lever 40 engaging another lever 41, which is mounted on a pivot 42 and provided with arms 44. 45 fitted with rollers bearing on cams on the shaft 31. The engagement between the two levers 40, 41 is by means of a slot in the lever 41 and a roller 43 on the lever 40; and the roller 43 is adjustable along the lever to vary the leverage by means of a screw 43a and a hand wheel 43<b>. This enables the amount of dough delivered to be varied. The dough is fed to the chamber 2 by a hopper 1, and when pushed by the blade 6 passes through the spout 18 of a valve 17 and falls into a pan 4 on a travelling table 3. The valve 17 is moved aside to shut the outlet 5 of the chamber 2 when the blade 6 is pulled out after its discharge stroke, and is returned to the open position when the blade 6 is pushed in again for the next discharge stroke. As the valve 17 moves from the open to the closed position. it passes over a plate 19 which shears the dough off. The valve 17 is operated by a bell crank 34 connected by a link 36 to the lever 22. The main shaft 31 from which all the above devices are actuated is driven by a motor 32 through reduction gearing 33. In a modification several chambers 2 are located side by side with their shafts 8 in line with each other, and these shafts together with the blades 6 and the valves 17 are simultaneously operated by one and the same mechanism.

Title: Improvements in or relating to magnesium base alloys
Inventor: EMLEY EDWARD FREDERICK
IPC: C22C1/02
Filed: 1950-02-15
Abstract: In the production of Mg-base alloys containing Zr and Li the Zr is introduced by means of a composition consisting of a mixture of one or both of LiCl and LiBr, with one or both of ZrCl4 and ZrBr4, the Li salts forming at least 10 per cent of the whole composition and the Zr salts forming at least 15 per cent of the whole composition.  The composition may also contain LiF up to 30 per cent, one or more of BaCl2, BaBr2, SrCl2, SrBr2 up to 30 per cent of the total, one or both of KCl and KBr up to 10 per cent in total, one or more of the chlorides of Zn, Cd. rare earth metals, Ag, Tl, Th, Cu, Bi and Pb, up to 50 per cent in total.  Preferably the above composition is reacted with Mg to produce a master alloy which is then used to add the alloying ingredients to molten Mg.  This master alloy consists of an intimate fused anhydrous mixture containing at least 5 per cent of metallic zirconium and having at least the following three phases: (1) a salt phase constituting between 1 and 20 per cent of the alloy and consisting of at least one Mg salt and one Li salt of the chlorides, bromides and fluorides and including at least 13 per cent LiCl, the Mg salts being equivalent to at least 4 per cent Mg, together with one or more of the chlorides and bromides of K, Ca, Sr and Ba in amount between 0 and 50 per cent; (2) a matrix phase consisting of those metals which do not precipitate Zr, from its solution in Mg, namely, Mg, Zn, Cd, rare earth metals, Ag, Tl, Th, Cu, Bi and Pb; (3) a metallic Zr phase embedded in phase (2) and containing Zr in a readily alloyable state.  The master alloy is produced by reacting the salt composition with molten Mg under such conditions as to prevent substantial incorporation of Zr in the Mg, stirring to effect reduction, removing excess molten Mg and fluid salts.  The master alloy is then reacted with molten Mg with puddling to effect introduction of the Zr, Li being added before, together with or after the master alloy.  By incorporation of sufficient LiF in the salt mixture to be stoichiometrically equivalent to any MgCl2 or MgBr2 produced during the reaction, loss of Li from the final alloy is avoided.

Abstract: 247,574. International General Electric Co., Inc., (Assignees of Allgemeine Elektricitõts-Ges.). Feb. 11, 1025, [Convention date]. Electromagnetic switches. -In an alternating current automatic switch, particularly for welding processes, in which excess current which arises at the end of each welding process serves to open the switch which is thereupon maintained open by a voltage coil, the two windings are arranged on separate iron cores so as to reduce the induction between them, to give a more reliable action and prevent chattering. As shown, the armature a, which when attracted against the action of the spring b acts on the stops i and pushes off the bridging contact member from the fixed contacts d, carries a current winding m co-operating with a polar structure n. The voltage winding h connected between one pole of the switch and a point e on the primary winding of the transformer supplying the load is mounted upon a detached polar structure o. The lower end of the armature may be subjected to an attraction assisting the spring band this action may be increased by the use of a shortcircuited winding c. When the current in the winding m reaches the critical value the armature is attracted and the main circuit broken. The voltage across the winding h is now adequate to hold the armature in the attracted position and the main circuit may be broken at l. In order to ensure that the current in the voltage winding is increased in the attracted position of the armature, the armature may carry a pair of contacts between which a resistance in circuit with the winding is arranged. This resistance becomes short-circuited when the armature is attracted. The winding h may be inadequate to hold the armature and in this case the main current is automatically cut in again, with suitable time-lag devices, ready for the next operation.
