Title: Improvements in web guide members
IPC: B65H23/24
Filed: 1967-05-12
Abstract: 1,218,801. Feeding webs. MASSON SCOTT THRISSELL ENG. Ltd., and W. H. BOSSONS. 9 May, 1968 [12 May, 1967], No. 22247/67. Heading B8R. A web-guiding member comprises a stack of laminar elements 6, each element having at least one hole 9, 10, 11 or 12, and airways 8 extending from the surface of the element and communicating with one of the holes. The stack of elements, clamped together, form a guide surface, and their aligned holes form at least one air duct extending longitudinally of the stack. Compressed air supplied to such a duct, issues from the airways 8 to form an air bearing on the guide surface. In Fig. 2, grooves in the face of the element are confronted by the face of an adjacent element and thus provide the airways 8 and an arcuate passage 7 leading to the air duct formed by the aligned holes 9. Alternatively, drillings may be made from the surface of element through to an air duct. In (Fig. 6) each element includes porous material (14) the pores of which constitute the airways. Holder plates having projections (16) are positioned between elements, the projections (16) being arranged to engage and locate the porous material portions of the adjacent elements. The elements 6 are recessed to accommodate the leg 2 of a T-shaped support member 1. End plates 4 bolted to the head 3 of the support member 1, clamp the elements together to form the stack. Additionally, pipes slotted to allow egress of air and extending through the air ducts 9 to 12, have threaded end portions carrying clamping nuts. A blanking plate (Fig. 4) may be positioned between adjacent elements 6, this plate having less holes than each element so as to interrupt at least one of the air ducts. The web-guiding member may be arranged as a web-tension sensing detector. The stock is assembled with the majority of the elements facing one way, and the remaining elements, forming one or more small groups, facing the other way. The airways of the small groups communicate with one air duct which is connected to an air pressure-sensing device. Tension variations will influence the pressure-sensing device which is used to indicate and/or control web tension.

Abstract: 1,150,036. Hydraulic systems. CATERPILLAR TRACTOR CO. May 15, 1967 [July 14, 1966], No.22414/67. Heading F1P. [Also in Divisions E1 and F2 The disclosure relates to a wheel-beam control system for a motor grinder similar to that described in Specification 1, 040, 379 except that the main closure member 60 of the check valves has radial passages 66, 68 which admit liquid to the interior of the closure member to prevent hunting of the latter. Passage 66 always admits a bleed of liquid to the interior to provide an additional seating force on the main closure member. When the pilot valve member 62 is unseated by piston 48, this additional force is removed but subsequent movement of the main closure member aligns axially spaced passages 68 with annular space 70 to admit additional liquid to the interior to develop a force which resists the force exerted to piston 48. Diametrically opposite slots 67 meter the flow between passages 34, 38.

Adjacent posts may be spaced by the locking profiles (12, Fig. 15, not shown) or by spacing plates (20, Fig. 16, not shown). A cover for the loose leaves may be perforated and held by the posts 11 (Figs. 22, 23, not shown) or the support 1 may be fixed to a cover (Figs. 24, 25, not shown). Deformation of the channel section support 1 while the binder is closed, and consequential unlocking of the posts 11, may be prevented by abutments 21, 22, Fig. 18, preventing folding of a board 4, 5 relative to the spine 3 to any angle less than 90 degrees.

[Class 38 (iv).] In electric-arc welding, an oscillating circuit, consisting of a condenser 5 and coil 3 is placed in series with the arc 4 so that when the arc breaks oscillations are set up which ignite the arc again. The inductance 3 may have an iron core. A condenser 6 may be placed in parallel with the secondary of the supply transformer 1 to avoid the winding blocking the oscillations. A condenser 7 may be provided across the arc to smooth its action. The frequency of the circuits may be adjusted to amplify harmonics in the current from the generator 2. The winding of transformer 1 and condenser 6 may form the oscillation circuit, the condenser 5 then serving to byepass the inductance 3.

Convention date, Aug. 20, 1930. [Class 29.] In apparatus having the generator 10, Fig. 1, divided into upper and lower chambers 31, 30, the lower chamber is constructed so that the walls bounding the gas space are never submitted to direct heating action from the gas, oil or like burner 52. The lower chamber 30 is in the form of a jacket around the wall 27 of the large combustion chamber, which wall may be a continuation of the outer cylindrical wall of the upper chamber, while the flue 28 extends centrally through the upper chamber. One or more lift pipes 32, 33 extending from the lower to the upper chamber have the perforations at their lower ends located so that the liquid level never falls far enough to expose the gas formed in the lower chamber to the directly heated wall surface. The perforations may be at different levels in the several pipes. The apparatus includes an absorber 14, evaporator 13 and condenser 12 arranged in known manner. The lift pipe may extend from a rising side branch of the lower chamber of a generator having a central flue of uniform bore, or, as shown in Fig 5, it may extend from a separate vessel 42 connected by pipes 43, 44 with the lower chamber. In a generator having an external heat insulated flue, as shown in Fig. 9, the lower chamber is vented to the upper chamber by a pipe 53, and the lift pipe 56 is fitted with a bell or inverted cup 54 in which the gas collects above the perforation. Alternatively the partition dividing the generator into two parts is of bell shape, with the perforations of the lift pipe above the level of the rim of the bell.

Abstract: 1,172,232. Control of motors. COAL INDUSTRY (PATENTS) Ltd. 23 May, 1967 [24 May, 1966], No. 23046/66. Heading H2J. A pilot circuit for an electric motor having contactor CC comprises remote control switch RS which is moved to a " start " position to short-circuit resistor R3 and energize relay A with only resistor R2 in series therewith, contact A1 being closed and contact A2 opened. Relay B is now energized, since resistor R4 only is in series with it, whereby contact B1 opens and contacts B2, B3 close. The switch RS is then moved to the " running " position which brings the resistor R3 into circuit. Resistors R1, R2, R3 are now in series with relay A which drops out to re-open contact A1 and close contact A2. The contactor circuit is now completed to start the motor, the relay B being held in even though resistors R3, R4 are in series with its coil. The switch RS may be connected to the motor through an auxiliary cable. In a modification, the switch RS is located at the control unit and is connected to the control circuit through conductors and the pilot core of cable PC. The functions of resistors R2 and R3 are interchanged. In a further arrangement, the switch RS is replaced by push-buttons. The control circuit may be adapted for use with a gate end box operating as an intermediate slave of a multi-conveyer system. An additional relay is operated when auxiliary contacts are closed in the preceding gate end box as soon as it has completed its switching procedure. The relays A and B are then operated as described to close the contactor circuit.
