Title: Improvements relating to flyer spinning frames
Inventor: MACKIE JOHN PRINGLE
IPC: E01C19/28
Filed: 1954-11-19
Abstract: 759,188. End-catchers for flyer spinning- machines. MACKIE & SONS, Ltd., J. Jan. 12, 1955 [Jan. 27, 1954; Nov. 19, 1954], Nos. 2547/54 and 33584/54. Class 120 (2). In the event of an end breaking below the wharve of a flyer of a flyerspinning-machine, the end is held by a device located either at or below the mouth of a suction nozzle so that twist is prevented from running higher than the nozzle and snarling is avoided, thus facilitating the drawing in to the nozzle of fibres which continue to be delivered. In one embodiment, Fig. 1, the end-holding device comprises a pin 14 provided with a notch 16. As twist continues to be imparted to the yarn 4 after breakage, the yarn deviates from its normal path and wraps around the pin 14. Another embodiment, Fig. 5, has a clip 20 attached to the end of the suction nozzle and formed with ears 22 providing a V-shaped space 23 into which an end of yarn may be drawn and held. Instead of being formed as ,parts of a separate member the ears 22 may be integral with the nozzle mouth. Alternatively, they may be formed on a member attached to a bracket below the nozzle. A further embodiment, Fig. 11, comprises an arm 35 secured to a .mounting-bar 36 below the nozzle and outwardly bent to form a trapping space 38.

Title: Receiving systems for simultaneous communications occupying a wide frequency band
IPC: H04L13/14
Filed: 1942-02-27
Abstract: 553,393. Multiplex transmission. STANDARD TELEPHONES & CABLES, Ltd. (International Standard Electric Corporation.). Feb. 27, 1942, No. 2594. [Class 40 (iv)] A set for receiving a number of carrier channels comprises scanning means for deriving from each active channel a train of equally spaced pulses of demodulated side-band. These pulses may be used merely for the control of a cathode-ray oscillograph to indicate which channels are active or they may be fed together to a number of channel receivers which are normally inactive but are activated momentarily in turn by pulses synchronous with the pulses of demodulated side band so that each receiver receives only 'the pulses of its own signal. As shown, a scanning generator 29 varies the frequency of the demodulation oscillator in the receiver 23 continuously or in steps and also controls a pulse generator 30 for unblocking channel receivers 24/1 .. 24/n in turn. The two sets of pulses are brought into the proper phase relationship with the aid of a cathode ray tube 32, which gives an indication along a horizontal scale for each active channel, and a cathode ray tube 31, controlled by the same time-base voltage, which shows the unblocking pulses. These are adjustable in phase with the aid of individual delay networks. Alternatively, the unblocking pulses may be produced from the side-band pulses with the aid of photo-electric cells acted on by the oscillograph 32. The tuning adjustment may be effected mechanically as by rotating a condenser or electrically, e.g. by an electronic or mechanical switching arrangement.
Patent GB-915272-A (GB)
Title: Armature coil winding machines
IPC: H02K15/09
Filed: 1959-01-26
Abstract: 915,272. Winding armatures for dynamoelectric machines. MICAFIL A.G. Jan. 26, 1959 [Jan. 25, 1958], No. 2748/59. Class 35. [Also in Group XIX] Small motor armatures are wound without stopping the machine for the purpose of drawing out the commutator connection taps and indexing the armature in successive slot positions, these processes being carried out at a speed lower than the winding speed but without stopping. The armature 7 is mounted by shaft supports 8, 9 in a rotating armature-carrier 1, and is retained in position by a spring-loaded tailstock 10 which is releasable by pedal 14. The armature indexing and loop-formation is performed by mechanism in the armaturecarrier which is operated (at the lower speed) when lever 18 is moved in a clock-wise direction by the anti-clockwise rotation of the carrier bringing it against a stop-lever 100. This movement of the lever 18 raises slide 20 against spring 24, so that a loop-hook 26 on this slide pulls out a commutator connection tapping and simultaneously an indexing hook 21 engaging an armature slot moves the armature round by one slot-pitch in readiness for the next coil. The armature is indexed during winding by a catch 25. The reduced speed necessary for these operations is obtained by switching off the main driving motor 2, braking the armature-carrier by means of a band 39 and driving it at a reduced speed from a motor 44 through reducing gearing and a rubber drive roller 43. The brake and the driving roller (which is constantly rotating) are applied simultaneously by linkage, not shown. The change in rotational speed and the operation of lever 100 to draw out the wire loop and re-index the armature, are initiated by a counter 62 (see Group XIX). This counter is driven from the armature-carrier shaft 6 through reversible gearing 103, 104 so employed that the counter first records the carrier rotations additively up to a preset number of turns whereupon a link 70 initiates the slot-change operations, and then records subtractively while winding the next successive slot whereupon the slot-change operation is again performed, and so on. Movement of the link 70 acts (by mechanism shown in Fig. 6 (not shown)) to rock lever 90 which in turn operates a draw hook 102 which engages pins 106 on a reversing wheel 107 to reverse the drive through the gearing, and simultaneously displaces lever 100 into the path of lever 18. At the same time it rocks a control lever 54 about its pivot 55 to notch round a ratchet wheel 57 by one tooth division. This wheel has a number of teeth equivalent to the number of slots to be wound, and operates a limit switch to stop the machine when the winding is complete. The wire may be distributed in the slots by a reciprocating guiding fork (Fig. 8, not shown).
