Title: Indicating instrument
IPC: G01D9/28
Filed: 1962-08-29
Abstract: 992, 652. Indicating and recording-apparatus. BRISTOL CO. Aug. 29, 1962 [Sept. 1, 1961], No. 33145/62. Heading G1J. Apparatus for recording values of a variable condition comprises a chassis 15, Fig. 1, detachably mounted in a casing 11 supported on a panel 14, a pen 100 operated by bellows 37, Fig. 3, responsive to fluid-pressure in accordance with the variable condition and carried by the chassis, and a motor 45 fixed to the chassis controlling driving mechanism for a record chart 17, a sub-frame 47, Fig. 5, releasably securing driving mechanism and record medium 17 on the chassis 15. Chart drive. Gearing driven by the motor 45 drives a take-up roll 60 through a friction clutch 42 and a drive roll 57 at constant speed. The chart 17 is thus drawn from a supply roll against the restraint of a spring clip 67, the force decreasing as the diameter is reduced and being balanced by the friction of the clutch 42 which is forced to slip as the chart 17 conforms to the speed of the drive roll 57, the amount of the slippage decreasing as the diameter increases. A balance is achieved by adjusting the compression of the spring 50 in the clutch 42. Pen and indicator drive. Three bellows 35, 36, 37 cause slides 103, 104, 105 to move along rods 107, 108, 109 in accordance with three variables through link work e.g. linear movement of bellows 35, Fig. 7, through a plate and ball engagement rocks a follower 95 about a shaft 81 and through links 124, 121, 31 moves slide 103 along guide 107. Adjustment of a screw 90 enables zero to be shifted and adjustment of a screw 78 moves the point of engagement of the plate and ball and changes the transmission ratio and therefore the range. Two slides 103, 104 carry indicators 101, 102 and two 103, 105 carry pens 101, 100 supplied from ink reservoirs 18. Releasable couplings. The sub-frame 47 has two pairs of side lugs 38, 39 co-operating with slotted recesses in plates fixed to the chassis 15 and is locked in place by flat springs engaging the lugs 38. The base plate 24 of the chassis has its longitudinal edges formed as side rails and has depending right-angle brackets carrying pins arranged to engage apertures in the casing 11 for centring and securing the chassis within the casing 11 where it is locked by a latch tab 23. For the supply of electricity, a multi-point male plug in the casing 11 automatically engages a socket 28, Fig. 3, on the chassis upon its insertion in the casing. Pressures representative of the variables to be recorded and/or indicated are led by conduits to connectors 140, 141 and 142 which communicate by internally drilled holes in a solid casting with self-sealing ports of a three-port plug valve assembly in the casing 11. These self-sealing ports are maintained in fluid-tight but removable relationship with hollow male terminal members 145A, 146A, 147A mounted on block 29 on the chassis 15 and connected respectively to bellows 35, 36, 37.

Patent GB-336815-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in narrow elastic fabrics
IPC: D03D3/06
Filed: 1929-10-31
Abstract: 336,815. Moore, J. V. Oct. 31, 1929. Elastic fashioned fabrics.-A narrow elastic fabric of inherent curvilinear shape has elastic warp threads 10 all woven under the same tension, inelastic warp threads 11 and inelastic wetts 12, warp beams 20, 21, a guide-roll 26, a take-up roll 30 and a cloth roll 32 which are all tapered being used so that the fabric has varying lengths of warp threads in different parts and assumes a curved shape. In order that the meshes in the fabric may be of substantially the same size throughout, the fanwise distribution of the weft threads is compensated by spacing the warp threads near the longer edge of the fabric nearer together. The plain or covered elastic warp threads 10 may be inserted between pairs of inelastic warp threads 11 and between the same reed dents 15, which crowd the threads 11 against the elastic threads and prevent undue shrinking of the latter. Fabric sizing and drying mechanism is employed, which will not disturb the curved shape of the fabric.

Patent GB-366938-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in or relating to belting suitable for use in conveyors
IPC: B65G15/34
Filed: 1930-11-10
Abstract: Belting is made by impregnating cotton or other fabric with a solution of rubber latex, or the substance known under the registered Trade Mark "Revertex," vulcanizing and filling ingredients, drying out the moisture by passing the belting through a hot box, forming the belting into plies, and rolling it to obtain adhesion.  A rubber cover for the belting is made in the form of slabs from the same materials.  When dry these slabs are placed on each side of the belting and the whole is vulcanized in a press.  The time allowed for drying depends on the thickness of the aqueous solution.  For example, an aqueous solution of 1/4 inch thickness should be dried for about 24 hours, by gradually raising the temperature from that of the atmosphere to about 120 DEG  F.  When the slabs coagulate, or when a skin forms on them, they are coated with an aqueous solution of latex, or "Revertex," and sulphur, without any vulcanizing accelerator.

Title: Selvedge-guiding devices for fabrics in the open width
IPC: D06C3/00
Filed: 1934-11-27
Abstract: 431,621. Feeding webs. DUNGLER, J., Thann, Haut-Rhin, France. Nov. 27, 1934, No. 34023. [Class 100 (i)] A selvage-guiding device for webs of fabric comprises a pair of rollers, one in movable and the other in fixed bearings, engaging a selvage, a spring-controlled feeling-member adapted to be engaged by and moved by the selvage when this laterally exceeds its normal path, and a controlled intermediate eccentric roller released by and during such engagement of the feeler to engage the roller in fixed bearings and be driven thereby to force the movable roller out of contact with the other roller to free the selvage for straightening purposes. Two devices are employed, one at each side of the web, each comprising a frame 1 wherein are mounted a roller 2 on a spindle 3, and a roller 4 normally in contact with the roller 2 and mounted on a spindle 5 which is carried in fork-shaped support 6 mounted to rock about a fixed spindle 7, but controlled by a spring 8. The fork 6 also supports a spindle 10 on which is rotatably mounted a slightly eccentric roller 11, this roller having mounted thereon a weight 12 tending to rotate it clockwise from its normal stationary position, whereby the periphery of the roller can contact with the periphery of the roller 2. When the roller 2 contacts with the eccentric roller 11, the latter is rotated still further, whereupon the fork 6 carrying with it the roller 4 is forced away from the roller 2. The necessary restraint to the eccentric roller 11 is applied by a pin 14 on the eccentric engaging a projection 15a on the lower end of a feeler-member 15, which is pivotally supported at 16 on a guide-plate 19 and controlled by a spring. When the selvage of the fabric engages the feeler 15, the latter moves about its pivot 16 and releases the eccentric, whereupon the latter rotates and engages the roller 2 with the result that the rollers 2, 4 are separated to release the fabric. The other device at the opposite selvage then brings the fabric back into its normal position, and the feeler is allowed to return to its normal position and consequently stops the rotation of the eccentric 11. Holes 13 are provided in the eccentric for adjustment of the weight 12 according to whether the selvage device is to function in a horizontal, vertical, or reversed position.
