Title: Machine for the manufacture of cords and ropes
IPC: D07B3/12
Filed: 1973-04-09
Abstract: 1425842 Ropes M ULLMANN 9 April 1973 [11 April 1972] 16874/73 Heading D1T In Fig. 1 a loop of roving 7, 7 is pulled from a supply 16 by a trolley 24, one arm of the loop 7, 7 being gripped in a closed eye 5 of a first cylinder 3' and the other arm of the loop passing through the open eye 5 of a second cylinder 3 through which it is withdrawn from the supply 16. When the loop is sufficiently long the open eye 5 in the second cylinder 3 is closed and a knife 21 cuts the roving between the second cylinder 3 and the supply package 16. The apex of the loop of roving 7, 7 is transferred to a laying hook 44 on a trolley 25, this trolley 25 exerting a predetermined pull on the loop 7, 7 for example by means of a weighted rope 39. Each cylinder 3, 3' is then rotated about its own axis to produce a twist in each arm of the loop 7, 7. The resulting shortening of the arms of the loop 7, 7 displaces the trolley 25 against the action of the rope 39. When the trolley 25 reaches a predetermined stop a motor 41 is energized to rotate the laying hook 44 and so cause the arms 7, 7 of the loop to be stranded together. The further shortening of the strands 7, 7 cause a further displacement of the trolley 25. When the trolley 25 reaches a pre-determined stop the rope is released and dropped into a receiving basket. In Fig. 1 there is a second roving 8 that is associated with two more cylinders (4, 4'), not shown, so that a further loop (8, 8), not shown, can be drawn out. Thereafter all four cylinders are rotated, each about its own axis, to produce four twisted strands. When the trolley 25 reaches a predetermined stop the hook 44 is rotated. to form a helical lay of the four twisted strands. After the resulting rope has been released guide tubes 14, (15) feed fresh rovings 7, 8 through the eyes 5 in the cylnders 3, (4) and into the eyes 5 in the cylinders 3', (4') so that a further cycle can be commenced.

Abstract: 1,057,745. Endless conveyers. W. DE RIDDER. April 23, 1964 [April 23, 1963], No. 16906/64. Heading B8A. In the event of failure of the drive of a conveyer 2, or failure to discharge from the conveyer, bakery pans 3 which are normally transferred from a main endless conveyer 1 to the conveyer 2 are transferred to a delivery plate 9 which feeds an auxiliary conveyer (not shown) beside the conveyer 2. When the conveyer 2 is operating, pans 3 are pushed across a glide plate 4 on to a pivotable delivery plate 6 which is controlled by a piston cylinder device 7 and from which the pans slide on to the conveyer 2. Failure of this conveyer may automatically cause the plate 6 to be maintained in its horizontal position thus causing the pans to pass on to the delivery plate 9 and the auxiliary conveyer.

Title: Improvements in or relating to apparatus controlled by wind or other fluid currents
IPC: F03D3/04
Filed: 1925-07-03
Abstract: 258,955. Sankey, A. R. M. July 3, 1925. Current motors. - A device for rotating a body, such as the casing of the rotary current motors described in Specifications 210,937 and 229,470, in accordance with changes in the direction of the wind or fluid current, comprises a vertically pivoted vane mounted on the body, a small movement of which vane causes one of a pair of normally symmetrically disposed members to offer a greater resistance to the current and thereby cause the body to turn. Fig. 3 shows a central vane member H of Y-shape, the arms being formed as wind vanes and the leg being a framework, which on a change in direction of the wind deflects one of the resistance vanes J or K through a linkage M<1>, M<4>, M<5>, M, M<2>, M<3> which abuts against the vanes J, K, the other resistance vane being free to remain in the head to wind position by reason of a slightly greater wind surface on one side of its pivot. The deflected vane offers more resistance to the wind so that the whole body A moves into the head to wind position. On a large change in direction of the wind the central vane acts to interpose a stop N<2> or N<3> in the path of the free vane which then offers more resistance thereby turning the casing. Two small vanes L, L<1> may assist the central vane H. The pivoted resistance vanes may be . replaced by vaned rotors P, R, Fig. 4 which may rotate a.bout vertical or horizontal axes with the central vane member 0 acting to apply a brake to one or other rotor to increase its resistance. In this case the central vane consists of a skeleton frame O with Y-shaped vanes O<2>, O<3> at the ends and is mounted on a spindle O<1> disposed nearer one end. A curved screen O<4> adjacent the vanes O<2> causes the vane member 0 to move in opposite directions for small and large angular changes of wind in the vanes S, S<1> are provided to assist in turning the body A when a large change of direction of the wind occurs. The central vane member is preferably fitted with balancing weights.
