Title: Machine for tufting cut pile
IPC: D05C15/06
Filed: 1963-10-04
Abstract: 985,618. Tufting machines. CABIN CRAFTS Inc. Oct. 4, 1963 [Oct. 11,1962], No. 39186/63. Heading D1G. A tufting machine comprises a hollow reciprocating needle, and a hollow sleeve adapted both to reciprocate and to oscillate within the needle in order to co-operate therewith for severing yarn loops inserted in backing material by the needle. The portable tufting appliance shown comprises a frame 10 having a handle 10h and journalling a shaft 12 adapted to be driven by a flexible power-driven shaft. A shaft 19, driven via gears 16, 18 from shaft 12, carries crank discs 20 and 30. Disc 20 is connected by a link 22 to a block 24 slidable on bars 29t and 29b. Block 24 is connected by a sleeve 25 to a block 26 slidable on bars 29t and 129t. A block 27, rising from block 26, has fixed therein the rear end of a tubular needle 28 which is slidable in a fixed block 15 serving as a presser foot. Disc 30 is connected by a block 32 to a block 34 which is slidable on bars 129t and 129b, and supports the rear end of a cutter tube 38 slidable and rotatable within needle 28. A spline gear 40, fired to tube 38, meshes with a rack bar 41 carried by a bar 42 slidable within a fixed sleeve 43. A pin 44, projecting from bar 42 through a slot in sleeve 43, is engaged by a pin 45 on disc 30 in order to raise bar 42, against the bias of a spring 46, for rotating tube 38. The arrangement is such that needle 28 and tube 38 move to their advanced positions together, and tube then rotates to sever the inserted loop of yarn Y between longitudinal cutting edges 28s and 38s formed on the needle and cutter tube respectively. Yarn passes between feed wheels 54, 55 and enters a tube 38 through an aperture 38h formed intermediately therein. Wheel 54 is driven intermittently by rack- and-pinion means actuated by a crank 50 connected by a link 49 to link 32. Yarn feed is assisted by compressed air supplied to tube 38 via a flexible tube 38. In a modification the rack is pivoted at one end to a lever which is pivoted at its other end to frame 10 and is formed intermediately with an aperture embracing an eccentric on shaft 19.

Abstract: 1,163,072. Water-tube steam boilers; steam superheaters. BABCOCK & WILCOX CO. 29 Aug., 1967 [29 Sept., 19661, No. 39402/67. Heading F4A. In a steam generating and superheating system, hot gases from a furnace 54 lined with vapour generating tubes, flow through two parallel-connected sections, one section containing a bank of steam generating tubes 53 arranged between upper and lower drums, and the other section containing a bank of seriesconnected U-shaped superheater tubes 90 and having its floor, ceiling and end wall 68 lined with superheater tubes 71. The superheater section has ceramic refractory walls. The proportion of gas delivered to the respective sections is controlled by dampers 81, 82 by a device 93 in accordance with the temperature of the superheated steam sensed at 94 in the outlet header 40. The gas flows are united in duct 78 and thereafter pass to a stack or a fan 80. Steam from the generating tubes 53 is passed directly, or through an optional superheater 67<SP>1</SP>, to mix with saturated steam received from an accumulator (26), Fig. 1 (not shown), whereafter the mixture passes to the superheater tubes 90 to flow therethrough in countercurrent to the gas flow. Steam is received from the accumulator at substantially uniform flow and pressure. However, any variation in this flow is compensated by adjusting the quantity of steam produced in the generator section by adjusting the fuel flow to the furnace burner 54. Control may be effected to cause the superheated steam to be discharged at substantially uniform temperature and pressure. Steam is delivered to the accumulator via a steam and water drum (16), which steam is intermittently generated in the water-cooled hood or heads (12) of one or both of a pair of steel refining furnaces (10, 11). The steam is condensed in the accumulator and is flashed into saturated steam on discharge therefrom.

Title: Improvements in and relating to a biped mortar mount
IPC: F41A27/22
Filed: 1957-12-20
Abstract: 833,609. Biped mounts for mortars. HOTCHKISS-BRANDT. Dec. 20, 1957 [Dec. 28, 1956], No. 39602/57. Class 92 [Also in Group XXV] A biped mount for a mortar comprises a head 1, Fig. 1, to which are pivoted the two legs 2, a clamping collar G on the mortar tube A and releasing means F connecting the collar to the head 1, the releasing means comprising a telescpic device the extension of which causes a spring to be compresed and permitting relative movement between the collar G and head 1 when firing so as to permit the collar to move with the mortar tube when the latter recoils. The collar G is combined with a device whereby the collar is elastically and resiliently clamped on the tube with such clamping force that the collar is capable of sliding on the tube A should the recoil travel exceed the maximum travel provided between the telescopic elements of the releasing means F. In one form the collar comprises two pivoted jaws 12, 13, Fig. 5, and the head 1 is connected to the releasing means F via a training device E, the movable nut 7 of which is connected to the two inner tubes 10 of the telescopic device while the outer tubes 9 are fixed to the collar G. The two jaws 12, 13 are clamped together by engagement of a forked member 33 pivoted on the jaw 12 with the head 20 of a bolt 15 slidably mounted in a lug 22 on the jaw 13. The bolt 15 is urged away from the jaw 12 by resilient Belleville washers 25 the initial compression of which is adjusted by a nut 27. The forked member 33 is pivotally mounted on eccentric bearing faces on a shaft 29 rotatable in the jaw 12 and the arrangement is such that after the forked member 33 has been engaged with the head 20 of the bolt 15, a lever is moved to rotate the shaft 29 thus causing the member 33 to move downwardly and putting the washers 25 under further compression. The maximum elastic clamping is obtained when the axis Y of the eccentric bearing faces passes below the rotational axis X of the shaft 29 through the lower dead-centre position, in which position the operating lever 30, Fig. 6 (not shown) bears against the jaw 12. In another embodiment, the releasing means is modified and the collar is a one-piece flexible strap G<SP>1</SP>, Fig. 11, riveted at one end to the releasing means F<SP>1</SP> and having a thrust member 57 riveted at the other end. The member 57 receives the force exerted by a screw 58 engaged in a nut 59 forming part of a fork 60 of steel or other resilient material, the two arms of the fork being pivoted at 61 on a lug 53 on the releasing means. Owing to the resilience of the fork 60, the clamping force is elastically yieldable.

Abstract: 1,120,891. Fuel control system. ELECTROFLO METERS CO. Ltd. 8 Jan., 1965 [11 Oct., 1963], No. 40308/63. Addition to 841,970. Heading F4B. In an automatic control system for a fuel fired steam generator having a device for regulating the fuel supply in accordance with the available air supply when a low draught emergency occurs, as in Specification 841,970; the fuel regulating signal is automatically controlled to give the fuel/air ratio appropriate immediately before the emergency. The air supply under normal operation is controlled by a regulator 6 in accordance with a load demand signal from a transmitter 7, and a regulator 11 responsive to steam pressure modifies the signal from transmitter 7 to provide a master load demand signal l. During normal operation, the turn-down regulator a is held inactive by a device b, the master signal l being applied to regulate the pulverulent fuel mills and primary air through devices 14, 15. A balancing unit g adjusts the fuel/air ratio, determined by a total fuel signal h and a total air signal i, to an appropriate value during normal operation, the same signals applied at c and d to a weigh beam on the turn-down regulator a maintaining the fuel/air ratio of the turn-down unit to the normal operational value. On a low draught emergency, the ratio relay f of the balancing unit is locked in position by a device j and device b puts the turn-down regulator a into operation to give the fuel/air ratio appropriate immediately before the emergency but with the reduced air flow. At the same time the signal selector h is rendered operative to pass the master signal l if the load demand is such that this is lower than the signal e derived from the turndown regulator a, i.e. the available air supply is greater than that necessary to meet the load demand.

Abstract: 1,235,464. Bending glass sheets. TRIPLEX SAFETY GLASS CO. Ltd., S. E. KAY, and J. PICKARD. 27 Aug., 1968 [5 Sept., 1967], No. 40600/67. Heading C1M. Glass sheets 7 are bent between dies 1, 2 and retained for a time sufficient to allow thermal equilization to take place. To this end the dies are heated, either by internal resistance heaters, or by similar heaters lining the walls of a compartment surrounding the dies. A conveyer 9 supplies the heated sheets from a furnace. By this thermal control spring-back is minimized. The dies may be of moulded refractory or have a non-stick surface (e.g. a paste containing either boron nitride or an organo-platinum which decomposes to metallic platinum). Alternatively a silica-fibre cloth may be used. A preliminary bending may be carried out for difficult bends. The sheet may subsequently be temper quenched.

Abstract: 1,007,188. Cartridge-actuated tool. G. GROTSCH. Oct. 26, 1962, No. 40624/62. Heading B4C. A cartridge-actuated tool for driving a fastener, such as bolt 8 into a structure comprises a driving plunger 6 slidable in a barrel 2 which is adapted to hold a cartridge 5 and be longitudinally movable in the casing 1 of the tool, the barrel being normally held at the firing end of the casing by means of a spring 4. The driving plunger 6 is adapted, at its forward end 6b, to slide in the bore 22 of an axially movable member 3, the member being normally urged outwardly, by means of the spring 4, into abutment with the end of a sleeve 25; the position of the sleeve may be adjusted to 'suit varying lengths of bolt, by means of a nut 28 co-operating with a flange on the sleeve. The head of the bolt is inserted into the end of a piston member 7 slidable in the bore 22 and the other end is guided by means of a washer 24. In operation, the end of the sleeve is pressed against a structure so that the spring 4 is compressed until the end of the member 3 abuts the adjacent end of the barrel. The head 13<SP>1</SP> of a firing-pin plunger 13 is then struck by a hammer to fire the cartridge, the explosive gases expanding to force the plunger 6 against the piston 7 and so drive in the bolt. The spent gases enter a chamber 10 and leak to atmosphere through a port 11, the back pressure ejecting the cartridge shell into a space 14. By releasing a catch 15, the firing head pivots open so as to eject the shell. A safety catch 17 is provided and a notch 32 is cut in the sleeve in order that the position of the point of the bolt may be observed. In modifications, the nut 28 may be dispensed with and a thread formed on the sleeve 25 in order to provide adjustment and a spring incorporated in the firing plunger 13 in order to take up recoil.
