Title: Method of and apparatus for continuously forming metal ro
IPC: B22D11/16
Filed: 1975-01-24
Abstract: 1499809 Making metal rod; continuous casting BICC Ltd 24 Jan 1975 [24 Jan 1974] 03415/74 Headings B3A and B3F Rod of metal, such as Cu or Ca alloy or Al or Al alloy, is continuously cast by cooling a stream of metal S (as by water jets in a chamber 5) whose cross-section (and also its speed) has been determined by forces in the metal set up by an alternating electromagnetic field established about the stream S; the resulting long casting passes between rollers 6 to be formed into rod for drawing down into wire and a relationship is maintained between the roll rotation speed and the speed of the stream. The generator 4 supplying an induction coil 3, around an outlet spout 2 from an alumina vessel 1 and inducing the magnetic field, may be coupled by a circuit 8 with a motor 7 driving the reducing rolls 6 so that adjustment of the field strength automatically adjusts the roll speed or vice-versa. The level in the vessel 1 may be kept constant by molten metal feed. The magnetic field compresses the stream S so that there is little or no contact with the wall of the spout 2 and the flow rate is controlled and may be kept constant. The field, or a separate field possibly also coupled to the roll motor, may brake the flow. The long casting may be reheated as it passes to the reducing rolls 6 from which it may pass to second reducing rolls 9 whose speed relationship to the first rolls 6 is maintained. The rod resulting is wound by a coiler 10.

Title: Improvements relating to control equipments for battery vehicles
IPC: B60L15/04
Filed: 1937-02-10
Abstract: 490,054. Control of D.C. motors ; actuating controllers. HINDS, R. S., SERVE, A. J., and METROPOLITANVICKERS ELECTRICAL CO., Ltd. Feb. 10, 1937, No. 4005. [Class 38 (iii)] Varying E.M.F.-In control equipment for a battery vehicle the battery is divided into two sections B1, B2, connected in series or parallel, the transition from parallel to series connection being effected by disconnecting one section B2 whilst maintaining the motor circuit through the other section B1 connecting the disconnected section B2 in a closed circuit which includes a resistance R and a pair of closed contacts included in the motor circuit and then opening the contacts to insert the disconnected section B2 and the resistance R in the motor circuit, the polarity of the disconnected section B2 in the closed circuit being such that it assists the remainder of the battery when the contacts are opened and the sequence of operations being carried out in the reverse order in changing from series to parallel connection. With a drum controller D.C. in its off position the battery sections B1, B2, are connected in series to a charging socket CS, and upon movement through its first three positions 1-3 the motor M is connected to the battery sections B1, B2, connected in parallel, through resistance R which is eliminated in two steps. At the first transition step T1 the connection between points n, m, on the resistance is interrupted ; at the second transition step T2 the connection of the battery section B2 is broken, and at the third transition step T3 the battery section B2 is connected in a closed circuit including the resistance R and the connection effected by the segments x, y. In the fourth position of the controller the contact at segments x, y, is broken and the motor is supplied through resistance R from the series-connected battery sections B1, B2. In the next two positions 5 and 6 of the controller, the resistance R is eliminated again. The drum controller may be operated by two strokes of a pedal and latched by means which are released when the pedal is completely released. A dashpot may be provided to limit the speed of movement of the pedal, and these retarding means may permit more rapid movement by applying extra pressure on the pedal. A reversing switch RV may be so interlocked with the controller as to act as an isolating switch in emergency, but to render impossible movement of the reversing switch from its off position while the controller is on. The reversing switch may be locked in its off position to prevent unauthorized operation. Interlocked contactors may be employed for controlling the battery connections and also the resistance R.

[Class 142 (iv).] The woollen materials forming the main constituent of woven fabrics which are subjected during their finishing treatment to a felting process by fulling are spun into two different threads, one for example being a highly feltable woollen thread and the other being shoddy or poor quality worsted. These two threads are introduced into the same shed, either simultaneously or one after another The two threads may be twisted in different directions. One thread may be twisted more tightly than the other. The two woollen threads may contain other materials, thus cotton and artificial silk may be spun with the wool in the highly feltable thread and silk with the wool in the less feltable thread.

Abstract: 114,154. Forbes, W. C., and Forbes, D. Jan. 11, 1917, [Convention date]. Overhead travellers and transporters; trollies for runways; jib cranes.-A transporter for loading coal, grain, ores, and general merchandise into trucks, bins, and ships' holds comprises a trolly 19 running on an arm 15 which, when in use, is maintained horizontal and at right-angles to an arm 4 slidably mounted on a vertical pillar 1. The arm 15 is connected by a vertical pivot 16 to a shoe. 7 which is traversed along the arm 4 by a screw 8 rotated through bevel gears 11, 12 by a chain 14. The arm 4 is connected by an horizontal pivot 5 to a shoe 2 which can be adjusted to any position on the pillar 1 by a rope 3. The pillar 1 can be fixed vertically along the side of a ship's mast or may take the place of a ship's mast. The arms 4, 15 are normally maintained in horizontal position by stays 6, 18 and can be hoisted when it is desired to fold them alongside the pillar 1. The hoisting rope 26 passes round a sheave 24 on the trolly 19, guidepulleys 28, 31 on the arm 15, and a sheave 32 on the pivot 5 to the drum of a winch 33. The trolly is connected by a rope 37 to a weight 34 moving between the pillar 1 and a guide 35, and is retained in any desired position on the arm by the engagement of notches 43 by hinged pawls 42 mounted on a carriage 41 which is traversed by a threaded shaft 45. A lever 49 pivoted in the trolly is connected by spring-arms 51 to vertical slide bars 55, Fig. 3, carrying pivoted catches 57, which can take under the hinged pawls 42. During the outward movement of the trolley, a disk 58 on 'the rope 26 holds up the lever 49, but when the trolley is held by the pawls 42 and the rope 26 is paid out, the lever is lowered and the catches 57 fall inwardly below the pawls 42. During lifting when the disk 58 bears against the lever 49, the spring arms 51 are first tensiohed since the pawls 42 and notches 43 are held in engagement by the weight 34, but further rotation of the winch causes an outward movement of the trolly and the pawls are thereupon released and raised by the upward movement of the bars 55. When the weight 34 approaches the upper limit of its travel, it rocks a weighted lever 60 mounted on a shaft 61 which is provided with a forked lever 62 adapted to disengage a clutch 63 or control the reversing gear of the winch. In a modification, the arm 15 is attached to the shoe 7 by a universal joint and can work on either side of the arm 4 and can also be used as a derrick.
