Abstract: 654,879. Cutting blocks from rods of icecream &c. ROSE BROS. (GAINSBOROUGH), Ltd. April 10, 1948, No. 10064. [Class 87 (ii)] Two rods of ice-cream 11 are cut into blocks 32 by knives 31 which are reciprocated towards each other and also longitudinally of themselves, to provide a sawing action. The rods of icecream are supported by rods 13, and a pivoted table 14 which is normally held against the lower end of the ice-cream. The table is pivoted downwardly by a cam 24, to allow the rods of ice-cream to fall by an amount equal to the thickness of the blocks to be cut. After cutting, the table is pivoted to the position shown in Fig. 1, to allow the cut block to be removed by a forked transfer member 63 to a pocket 62 in a conveyer. The construction and operation of the transfer member is the subject of Specification 654,908. The knives are mounted in slides 28 which are reciprocated towards each other by cams 46. Simultaneously, the knives are reciprocated, to provide the sawing action, by links 61 actuated by a cam, see Fig. 2 (not shown). The knives may have plain or serrated edges.

Abstract: 299,262. Hamp, R. April 4, 1928. Seats convertible into tables.-In a convertible table and settee or like seat the table top is inverted and positioned at a lower level to serve as a seat, and a portion which is normally under the table comes into position to serve as a seat back. Figs. 2 and 4 show the settee arrangement, the upholstered seat 1 and back 15 being arranged between the two-column table ends 2 surmounted by parts 12 which serve also as table-top ends when the part 1 is swung upwards about the pivots 6, upon which it is suspended by brackets 7. The frame of the back 15 is pivoted at 16; when it is not required, its lower edge 19 is freed from the strip 20 at the back of the seat 1, and it is turned into an approximately horizontal position, upholstery downwards, beneath the table top 1. In a modification, Fig. 8, the seat 1 and back 14a are hinged together and are mounted on pivots 6<a>; before turning the seat up to form a table top the back 14<a> is swung down, and secured to the seat by a hook and eye 23 so that back and seat move together.

Abstract: 773,985. Measuring bridges. WAYNE KERR LABORATORIES, Ltd., and CALVERT, R. July 6, 1955 [April 8, 1954], No. 10398/54. Class 37.  In electrical measuring apparatus a control member operable in decade steps to effect electrical circuit adjustments is coupled to operate a corresponding array of indicators for bringing into a viewing position numeral digits corresponding to the setting of the member, and switch means are provided for altering the range of operation of the control member by multiples of ten; such switch means being coupled to operate a transparent decimal point and/or cypher indicator movable in part of the digital array in a transverse direction thereof to locate the decimal point and/or cyphers with respect to the digits so as to indicate the required magnitude. An electric impedance measuring bridge comprising decade step variable ratio arms and an adjustable decade standard impedance is mounted on a vertical front panel having a rectangular indicator window 10 extending horizontally with a broader opening at its middle. Behind the window a transparent plastic or glass sheet 11 is slidable vertically on a carriage 12 by a rack 13 engaging pinion 14 rotated by the ratio arm switch in accordance with the step-by-step adjustment of the latter. The sheet is engraved with sets of decimal points and cyphers 15, 16 in lines parallel to the window, visible one set at a time, each corresponding to the multiplication or division factors applied to the measurement reading of the standard impedance by the respective positions of the ratio switch, together with markings 17 indicating the units displayed. Pinions 22, 25 rotated by the respective decade controls of the standard impedance engage parallel racks 23, 26 carrying strips 24, 27 engraved with numerals 0 to 9 corresponding to first and second sig. nificant figures of the inserted value of the standard impedance which are adjacently visible through window 10 immediately to the right of the final cypher 16, while a continuously rotatable decimal dial 34 driven by the fine control of the standard impedance through pinion 31, rack 32 and pinion 33 shows the third significant figure in the broader part of the window against an index mark 35 engraved on sheet 11. Two such devices are applicable to indication of resistive or reactive impedances (or their reciprocals) in complex impedance bridges, while for indicating large resistance values the necessary cyphers may be added after the significant figures. The display figures, cyphers, and decimal points may appear in circumferential lines round cylindrical driving mechanically linked to the respective controls.

IPC: D05B3/14
Abstract: 106,814. Fifield, A. F. May 31, 1916, [Convention date]. Button-attaching machines.-To adapt a singlethread sewing-machine for attaching two or four hole buttons, the mechanism for jogging the button-holding clamp laterally of the looper shaft is capable of being thrown out of action when the machine is to be used for sewing on two-hole buttons, and the clamp is automatically held in a position midway of the extreme lateral positions, so that the movements longitudinally of the looper shaft will register with the holes in the button. The invention is described as applied to a machine having stitch-forming mechanism of the kind described in Specification 1248/15, and the mechanism by which the work-holding device 12 is jogged longitudinally and laterally is of usual construction, except as regards the mechanism for suspending, at will, the lateral movements. For this purpose, the lever 33 has hinged to it a member 38 carrying the roller 40, which is adapted to engage the cam-groove in the usual cam-wheel 22. The member 38 has cheeks 38<x> adapted to embrace an extension 33<x> of the lever 33 and is connected thereto by a short link 42 embracing an eccentric 43 secured to a shaft 44, which is mounted in the member 38 and has an arm 45 by which it can be turned to engage the roller 40 with, or disengage it from, the actuating-cam. The link is held in either extreme position by a spring 46. The disengaging movement of the member 38 occurs at an extreme lateral position of the work-holder; and to bring the work-holder to the intermediate position, a pin 41<x> on the member 38 enters a cam-slot 47 formed in the overhanging upper end of a stationary stop-bar 48 rigidly secured to the fulcrum pin 34 of the lever 33 and connected bv a bar 50 to the cam shaft 51. An adjustable stop-screw 58 is provided for the member 38.

[Classes 83 (ii) and 83 (iv).] Making electric lamps.-In a machine for severing wires more particularly in the manufacture of incandescent lamps a cutter 4 is given an amount of energy which will sever the wire without damaging an anvil 5. The cutter 4 is mounted on an arm 1 and co-operates with the anvil 5. The arm 1 is rotated on its pivot 3 by a crank mechanism 6. When on rotation of crank 6 a pin 8 on a rod 7 disconnects from an arm 9 on the pivot 3 the potential energy of the arm 1 and cutter 4 is sufficient to sever the wire on the anvil 5. The cutter 4 may be driven by a spring or in a straight line. In a modification the anvil is moved to latch the arm 1 in operative position and a fixed stop trips a detent for releasing the arm. Compressed air is used for removing the waste ends, Fig. 3 (not shown).
