Filed: 1974-04-04
Abstract: 1406596 Piling and reclaiming material M J C BARRE 4 April 1974 [16 April 1973] 15051/74 Heading B8E Apparatus for piling and reclaiming material comprises a gantry 62, Fig. 8A, running on rails 63a, 63b, Fig. 9A, mounting a scooping wheel 1 with conveyer means 40 running through it to convey material to a discharge conveyer 65. A conveyer 64 supplies material which is distributed to form a pile by conveyers 73, 74 driveable in one or both directions and movable along the gantry to discharge at different positions. The arrangement is such that the wheel 1 may be moved to one end of the gantry which may be reusable so that it can pass over a pile of greater height while the wheel passes along one side. The wheel, 1 Fig. 1, is mounted to be rotated on a carriage 9, which runs on box girders 41a, 41b in such a way that the gantry structure is contained in a rectangle in the upper half of the wheel thus giving greater clearance over the pile for the gantry. The wheel has buckets 5 which collect material and discharge it through a hopper 39 on to the conveyer 40. The gantry girders 41a, 41b may be mounted by wheels 71, Fig. 8A, on vertical guides 70 and may be supported by a ram 72 on the chassis 68 which runs by wheels 69 on the rails 63a, 63b. Extension of the ram 72 raises the girders on the guides 70 to give greater clearance over the pile. The supply conveyer 64, Fig. 9A, discharges on to the conveyer 73 which in turn feeds a conveyer 74 so that by movement of the conveyers 73, 74 along the gantry and/or their reversing, the discharge position on to the pile can be moved across its whole width. In a modification, Fig. 14, a single conveyer 96 may be used in conjunction with pouring carriage having a chassis 97 movable on wheels 98 on rails 99 to move the discharge hopper 104 over the pile. For circular storage areas the gantry may be mounted between a central pivot 80, Fig. 11 and a leg structure running on a circular track round the pile. In this arrangement the discharge conveyer 74 discharges through a guide cylinder 91 on to the discharge conveyer 84 which runs from the central pivot 80.

Filed: 1926-06-18
Abstract: 262,380. Goss Printing Press Co., (Assignees of Crafts, C. S.). Dec. 4, 1925, [Convention date]. Printing - surfaces. - Printing- plates are clamped to the cylinders of printing-machines by means of a device consisting of a clip adapted to be locked to or released from a clip rod through the partial rotation of one of the parts, check nuts or the like being provided to enable the clip to be adjusted for the purpose of locking plates of different widths in position. The cylinder 1 is formed with a fixed centre clip 40 and with a number of longitudinal grooves 5 in which slide outer and inner clips 3, 4 respectively on a clip rod 6. The rod 6 is formed in two parts 7, 8 screwing together and each part is provided with flattened portions 12, 27 and with interrupted peripheral grooves adapted to engage with corresponding interrupted grooves in circular passages in the outer clip 3 and a sleeve 24 on which the inner clip 4 is slidably but not rotatably mounted. The outer end of the rod 6 is squared for engagement by a spanner to enable it to be turned to engage or disengage the grooves, and permit the adjustment of the clips along the rod, and adjustable stops 16, 31 and 30, 32 are provided on the rod to enable the clips to be correctly positioned for clamping plates having different numbers of columns. The clamping of the plates is effected by means of a lockup plate 34 operated by an eccentric. The action of the lock-up plate is transmitted to the rods 6 through springs 22 compressed between collars 18 on the rods and plates 37 secured to the plate 34, and a collar 20 is secured to each rod 6 for neutralizing the action of the spring 22 in the unlocked position to the clamp, as described in Specification 262,381, for the purpose of facilitating the turning of the rod 6 by a spanner. When the clamp is unlocked, the spring 22 causes the clip 3 to be immediately withdrawn out of contact with the plate, but the sleeve 24 slides through the clip 4 until the stop 29 on the sleeve engages the clip. When an outer and an inner plate 2, 39 are used, the stop 30 is so adjusted that, when the clips are in locking-position, a gap exists between a shoulder 28 on the sleeve 24 and the clip 4 so that the locking-pressure is transmitted to the centre clip through the clip 3 and plates 2, 39. When the outer plate is not used, the stop 30 is so adjusted that the shoulder 28 contacts with the clip 4.

Abstract: 685,721. Watches. UNITED STATES TIME CORPORATION. June 21, 1950 [June 24, 1949], No. 15483/50. Class 139 A watch movement comprises a pair of spaced frame plates having bearing apertures formed therein, each of said apertures having angularly disposed wall portions forming a notch and a set lever having trunnions integral therewith, said trunnions each being provided with a knife edge which pivotally engages the notch in one end of said bearing apertures. The rocking bar 40, Figs. 2, 3, is supported under the frame plate 12 on a pivot 52 and carries two pins 38 which pass through arcuate slots 54 in the plate 12. The pins 38 support pinions 34, 36 which may mesh respectively with gears 18, 20'of the setting and winding trains. The winding stem 22 is squared at 38 where it passes through two supporting plates 42, 44 and carries a pinion 30 which drives a gear 32 which is in constant mesh with the pinions 34, 36. A setting lever 62 made from sheet metal and shaped as shown in Fig. 4 has two trunnions 66, 58 which engage sector-shaped slots 58 near the periphery of the front and rear plates respectively. The knife edges 80, 82 of the trunnions 66, 68 bear against the edge 60 of the slots 58, Fig. 5. The lever 62 has at one end an angled extension 84 which engages, under spring pressure, a slot 24 in the winding stem 22 and at the other end the lever 62 has a shoulder 72 and a V-shaped notch 74. A spring 92 is coiled round a spindle 94 and has two extensions 96, 98. The extension 98 engages the adjacent pin 38 of the rocking bar 40. The extension 96 is bent at 102 to form two cam surfaces 104, 106 which bear respectively against the V-shaped notch 74 of the lever 62 when the lever 62 and bar 40 are in the setting and winding positions. The arms 96 and 98 of the spring 92 work in complementary manner so that during axial movement of the winding stem 22 the lever 62 and the rocking bar 40 are urged to assume the positions to which they are being moved. In the setting position, Fig. 2, the shoulder 72 of the lever 62 engages a slot 56 in the bar 40 and the spring arm 96 tends to maintain such engagement. In the winding position, Fig. 3, the spring arm 98 engages a fixed stop 100 so that the teeth of the pinion 36 are prevented from engaging the teeth of the gear 20 too deeply. The lever 62 may be moved transversely to disengage the lug 84 from the slot 24 to allow withdrawal of the winding stem 22.

Abstract: 703,661. Statistical apparatus. COMPAGNIE DES MACHINES BULL. June 29, 1951 [July 3, 1950], No. 15528/51. Class 106 (1) A record card C is marked with data representing areas in two or more colours of a complementary character either one colour alone for distinguishing two or more types of data, or compound colours produced by colouring a single area with two colours. The data is sensed by reading reflected light from the data representing areas B, Fig. 2, by means of photocells D<SP>1</SP>, D<SP>2</SP>, to which colour filters E<SP>1</SP>, E<SP>2</SP> are applied to selectively associate one photocell with one colour. Fig. 3 shows an alternative arrangement in which a single photocell D without a colour filter is employed, and in which two light sources L<SP>1</SP>,. L<SP>2</SP> each provided with a colour filter E<SP>1</SP>, E<SP>2</SP> matching one colour and in the data representing areas all switched alternately to illluminate the card first with one colour and then with the other. Illumination of the card with one colour causes the marks of that colour to fade into the card and causes the marks of the other-colour to stand out as dark areas enabling them to influence the photocell D. Figs. 4 and 5 show an apparatus for marking a card with coloured areas. A card C is supplied on a carriage K beneath two differently coloured ribbons R<SP>1</SP>, R<SP>2</SP>. A solenoid operated striker arm P carries a striker a which strikes the ribbon R' or R' when the magnet A is operated. The position of the carriage K may be varied to bring the card under the desired coloured ribbon. An apparatus is also suggested in diagrammatic form for passing a card beating coloured data representing marks through a series of chambers containing chemicals to selectively remove one or all of the coloured marks when these are no longer required. Specifications 541,849, [Group XX], and 552,148 are referred to.
