The rollers 1, 2, which may be rubber coated, are individually driven by hydraulic or pneumatic rotational motors adjustable as to speed and torque and are mounted on flange plates 3 (4) pivotable about the axis 10 by hydraulic or pneumatic rams 8 (9), Fig. 2 (not shown), to adjust their pressure against the growing roll and to tip the completed roll on to a ramp 19 leading to a collector 20 when hydraulically operable roll supporting stub shafts (30) (31) are retracted. The web may be cut on the ramp and the swing arms 6 (7) raised by hydraulic or pneumatic rams 17 (18) to urge the drive rollers 1, 2 against a new core WK. The position of the swing arms is monitored by a potentiometer 16 which controls the pressure of the rollers against the roll via the motors 17 (18).

Title: Improvements in or relating to fuel injectors for internal combustion engines
IPC: F02M45/08
Filed: 1938-12-20
Abstract: 522,666. Liquid-fuel injectors. L'ORANGE, P. Dec. 20, 1938, No. 37054. Convention date, June 24. [Class 7 (iii)] The space above the stem of a fluid-actuated needle valve F communicates with the fuel delivery line of a pump through one or more throttling apertures J. A preliminary fuel injection occurs through a throttled aperture K, connected to the space above the valve stem, before the valve F is raised and continues during the main injection. The aperture J may be formed in a cover H or side wall of the valve guide, or through a part of the wall of the valve which is subjected to the pump pressure. A non-return valve prevents combustion gases from entering the fuel delivery line. In the modification shown in Fig. 4, the throttling aperture is formed by the clearance between a spring-loaded valve H<1> and its guide, and the preliminary injection does not occur until the valve H<1> opens.

Glazing. - A non-resilient moulding is detachably secured to the frame of a shop or other window or show-case to form with it a substantially rigid structure having a channel of fixed and predetermined dimensions in which the plate glass, is resiliently held by metal spring strips secured to the frame. In one form, an angled window frame 1, Fig. 1, is fitted into a recess in a wall 3 and is adapted to receive a glass pane 8. To the frame is secured a non-resilient moulding 4 by means of screws 6, a distance-piece 7 limiting the movement of the moulding towards the frame. A metal strip 9 having resilient tongues 10 is secured to the frame, the said tongues being adapted to bear against the pane 8 to hold it resiliently against the moulding. Holes 11 may be cut in the frame to admit air into the room in which the window is fitted. Corner windows are fitted with a modified construction of moulding 4, Fig. 8, which is secured directly to the frame. The panes 8 are pressed against two flanges 14, 15 of the moulding, which is substantially T-shaped, by resilient tongues 10, 10a of the strip 9. For double glazing, the inner pane 8, Fig. 10, is held between the frame 1 and an angle-iron 16, these members being held in spaced relationship by screws 6 and distancepieces 7. An outer window 8a is similarly held between the moulding 4 and the angle-iron 16 by screws 6a and distance-pieces 7a, the screws passing through holes in the angle-iron 16. The window pane in each case may rest on blocks 12, Figs. 1, 10. In the application to double casement windows, the two frames 1, 1a of the windows, Fig. 19, are connected by hinges 20 and wooden mouldings 4, 4a are secured to them by screws.
