Title: Improvements in tuned amplifying circuits for wireless receiving apparatus and the like
IPC: H03F1/36
Filed: 1926-03-03
Abstract: 253,072. Lovejoy Development Corporation, (Assignees of Lovejoy, D. R.). June 4, 1925, [Convention date]. Thermionic amplifiers. - In order to prevent self-oscillation in a tuned high-frequency amplifier whilst maintaining the set in its most sensitive state, the bias on the grid of the valve or valves is adjusted conjointly with the tuning of the set. As shown in Fig. 2, the grid circuits of the valves are connected to the pointer T of a potentiometer FG, which is connected across the filament battery A. One or more of the tuning condensers C of the set are coupled mechanically to the pointer T, so that the grid is made more positive as the condenser capacity is reduced. For the purpose of correct initial adjustment of the potentials at its ends, the resistance FG is connected to movable tappings JK on a resistance HI directly across the battery A. The correct gradient of potential in the potentiometer FG may be obtained by non-uniform distribution of its resistance, or by shunting portions of a uniform winding by parallel resistances L, M, N. Alternatively, the condenser plates may be suitably shaped to permit a uniform distribution of resistance. In order to compensate for different filament temperatures, the filament rheostat arm V may be mechanically linked to a second potentiometer pointer W, which traverses a resistance XY connected across an auxiliary battery 0. As the filaments are made brighter, the pointer W traverses the resistance XY and reduces the positive bias of the grids.

[Class 42 (ii)] The fractions indicator 19 of a measuring machine is connected to the measuring roller 10 by gearing 16, 17 which also is geared to a knob 22 by which the indicator is zeroized by hand. The units indicator 28 is driven step - by - step by an eccentric 23 on the fractions i n d i c a t o r spindle 18 and is zeroized by a spring 37. The eccentric rod 24 is connected by a link 29 to one end of a bell crank 31 normally held in the position shown by a spring 30. A pin 25 in the rod 24 engages the toothed wheel 26 on the units indicator shaft 27 which is also engaged by a spring pulled retaining pawl 34. As shown, the spindle 38 of the gear-wheel 16 carries another fractions indicator 40 and an eccentric 41 for operating a second units indicator 46. At the end of a measuring operation the lever 71 is depressed (1) to nick the fabric, (2) to rotate the cam 75 and thus through the levers 80 and 76 withdraw the anti-spinning device 82 and lower the pressure roller 79, and (3) move a lever 93 which lowers the throat lock 100 and releases a catch 83 which later enters a notch 84 in a disc 88 on the shaft 38 to arrest the fractions indicators in the zero position. The catch 83 is fixed to a slide 33, carrying pins 32, 36, 50 which move the levers 31, 48 to withdraw the operating pins 25, 43 and the retaining pawls 34, 57 from the toothed discs 26, 44 and allows the units indicators to be zeroized by the springs 37. When the thumb lever 62 is depressed the catch 83 is withdrawn from the notch 84 the pressure roller 79 is raised and the anti-spinning device 82 lowered.

Filed: 1952-03-08
Abstract: 722,198. Conveyers. WINTERBOTTOM, J. March 6, 1953 [March 8, 1952], No. 6090/52. Class 78 (1). [Also in Group V] A conveyer 38 associated with a brick making press (see Group V) comprises a pair of parallel chains 39 which pass round freely-rotatable sprockets 40 and have rollers 45 on their links which are guided in channels 44. Driven by bevel gears 63 from the shaft 29 is a cross-shaft 62 on which are fixed cams 61 which act on the lower ends of rocking levers 60 to the top end of which is linked a pusher 57. Pallets 46 are housed in a magazine 48, the bottom pallet resting on the upper flanges of the guide channels 44. The two conveyer chains are joined by slats 43 on which are fixed metal strips which engage and carry forward the pallets when the conveyer is moved. Movement is imparted to the conveyer by the pusher 57, through the medium of bricks 11, which have been delivered to a platform 37, from which they are pushed by the pusher 57 to meet in turn a slat 43, the conveyer having risen till the strips on the slats project above the level of the platform 37. This rise is occasioned by ramps on which the rollers 45 run, placed on the lower flanges of the guide channels 44, the upper flanges being there cut away. The bricks are fed from the press to members 18, which turn them before they reach the platform 37, by a gravity conveyer 14, and to guard against the next pair of bricks 11 running off the lower end of the conveyer 14 while the members 18 are raised a brake-block 31 is caused to rise and thus to prevent the rotation of the endmost rollers of the conveyer 14.
