Title: Improvements in or relating to machines of the kind in which a table or the like member moves in a curvilinear or orbital path
IPC: A23F3/12
Filed: 1930-12-04
Abstract: 362,160. Tea-rolling machines. AGAR, A. A. and DAVIDSON & CO., Ltd., Sirocco Engineering Works, Belfast. Dec. 4, 1930, No. 36647. [Class 129.] Tea-rolling and like machines having a table moving in a curvilinear path, are provided with manual means for opening or closing a shutter in the table from a fixed point both when the table is in motion and when it is at rest. The invention is illustrated as applied to a tea-rolling machine in which both the leaf container and the table are rotated by vertical crank shafts. The table 1 is provided with a discharge opening 2 closed by a sliding door 3 operated by a screw 4. The table is moved by the three vertical crank shafts 5. A bracket 7 is attached to a stationary part of the machine and carries a bearing 8 through which passes a spindle 9. This spindle can move vertically when operated by the hand-wheel 11. A rotatable sleeve 12 is mounted on the lower part of the spindle and carries a pinion 13 controlled by the hand-wheel 14. The spindle carries a crank 15 with a bearing 16 for the upper end of a spindle 17 which can rotate but not slide therein. This spindle carries a spur wheel 18 gearing with the wheel 13. The spindle 17 has the same radius of travel from the axis of the spindle 9 as the cranks 5. The spindle 17 is supported in bearings 20, 21 on a bracket 19 attached to the table 1. As the table performs its curvilinear motion, the wheel 18 moves idly round the wheel 13. To operate, the hand-wheel 11 is rotated to raise or lower the spindle 9 and consequently the bearing 16 and spindle 17, to bring one of the pinions 22, 23 into mesh with the pinion 24. This is caused to rotate by retarding or holding stationary the wheel 14 which rotates the shaft 4 to close or open the door. The pinions 22, 23, 24 may be replaced by friction clutches. The hand-wheel 11 may be replaced by a lever.

Abstract: 1283823 Automatic exchange systems SIEMENS AG 7 Aug 1970 [8 Aug 1969] 38158/70 Heading H4K In a centrally controlled cross-bar exchange load shedding occurs whenever the ratio of the number of control operations required in establishing or disconnecting paths through the switching network to the number of other control operations falls below a predetermined limit. " Other control operations " comprise operations performed in respect of certain special services, e.g. camp-on busy (door-knocking) and call relaying (call diversion put into effected by the special called subscriber having previously dialled a special command into the exchange) wherein network paths and control apparatus are tied up without participating in an active call and wherein additional facilities are requested by an existing call, and, additional features, e.g. alternative routing wherein an excessive number of network paths are occupied and/or an excessive number of data exchanges between a marker and a translator are necessary in respect of a same call or wherein complex checks are made that paths which should have been released have in fact been disconnected. The system markers in particular are monitored to assess the value of the ratio so that if this falls below the required value the " other operations " become curtailed preferably on an order of priority basis which is governed by the degree of undershoot of the limit. Restoration to normal takes place as the limit is exceeded. The system is distinguished from German Specification DAS 1,242,713 and PDS 919,241 in which, effectively, calls from low priority subscribers are barred during overload conditions.
