Title: Improvements in or relating to ink ribbons for statistical machines, typewriters andthe like
Filed: 1936-10-12
Abstract: 483,152. Ink ribbons. TAYLOR, N. H. Oct. 12, 1936, No. 27642. [Class 100 (iv)] An ink ribbon for statistical machines, typewriters, and like machines has attached to one end an extension comprising a strip of greaseproof paper or other ink - repellent material, stiff enough to act as a lead in threading the ribbon through the usual guides and for directing it to the securing means on an empty spool. The strip may be attached by a staple or by stitching to the plain end of the ribbon and the staple or stitching may form a transverse loop for engagement over a hook on the hub of the empty spool. Alternatively, if a hook is provided on the ribbon for engagement with the hub, the paper strip may be engaged on the hook and may be transversely slit for this purpose, or may be stapled to the ribbon so that one end lies over the hook. The strip may be the same width as the ribbon or be wider and folded or form a flat tube round the end of the ribbon and be secured by adhesive on its inside. After the ribbon has been attached to the spool the strip is torn away by a sharp pull. When wound up on the full spool the strip acts as a covering for the ribbon.

Title: Improvements in or relating to controlling hydraulic gears
IPC: F16H45/00
Filed: 1933-10-11
Abstract: 428,605. Hydraulic transmission of power. VOITH, W., VOITH, H., and VOITH, H., (trading as VOITH, J. M., [Firm of]), Heidenheim, Brenz, W³rtemberg, Germany. Oct. 11, 1933, No. 28107. Convention date, Jan. 30. [A Specification was laid open to inspection under Sect. 91 of the Acts, April 12, 1934.] [Class 69 (ii)] A hydraulic change-speed gear of the Fottinger type consisting of a hydraulic slipping clutch and one or more hydraulic torque transformers which are put into and out of operation by controlling the flow of liquid to the gear has its control pump in coupling operation run at a substantially lower speed than in transformer operation. In the form shown a motor M drives a hydraulic clutch K and a transformer U. The operating liquid is supplied from a reservoir B by a pump C through a two-way cock f to the gear from which it returns through a pipe a and a cooling device to the reservoir. The cock f is moved by a lever g connected to a servomotor piston h which is actuated by the control pump pressure. When the driven shaft is stationary the gear W is emptied of liquid and the control pump piping is without pressure and the servomotor piston being pressed over to the left by a spring i, opens the cock f to the coupling K. The motor M on being started revolves at noload speed until a switch d, which controls the circuit of an electric motor D driving the pump, is moved out of zero position thus starting the pump and developing a high pressure in the liquid pipe. The piston h moves to the right opening the cock f to the transformer position. The transformer is thus brought into operation and after sufficient speed has developed for a transfer to coupling operation the switch d is moved into position for a lower speed of the control pump : the pressure in the pipes then falls, and the piston h moves the cock f into position to supply the coupling K. When used on an automobile, switches k and m actuated by the accelerator and brake levers l, n, may be arranged in series with the switch d. The Specification as open to inspection under Sect. 91 comprises also arrangements of the gear and the reservoir to which the highest surface level of the liquid in the reservoir is below the lowest point of the revolving parts of the gear and the control pump is arranged at the lowest point of and preferably inside the reservoir : the highest points of the reservoir and the gear casing are connected by an air pipe to equalize air pressures : the control pump is driven from the primary shaft. This subject-matter does not appear in the Specification as accepted.
