IPC: A43D21/12
Filed: 1962-05-18
Abstract: 1,043,863. Boots &c. BRITISH UNITED SHOE MACHINERY CO. Ltd. (UNITED SHOE MACHINERY CORPORATION). May 17, 1963 [May 18, 1962], No. 19187/62. Heading A3B. A machine for shaping heel end portions of shoe uppers off the last comprises a plate having a peripheral contour corresponding to the heel end of an insole; a support for the plate and members arranged on opposite sides of the plate defining a cross-sectional contour heightwise of a shoe upper supported on the plate. As described the above features are incorporated in a heel seat lasting machine of the type described in Specifications 473,129 and 473,197. The plate 40 (Fig. 8) is mounted on a support 48 carried by a jack 32 and has resiliently mounted pins 54 to position the insole. The plate also carries an inner form 68 (Fig. 5, not shown) for shaping the region of the back line of the upper, the angle between the form 68 and the plate 40 being adjusted by a knurled nut 74 and a screw 78. The cross-sectional contour of the upper is defined by two members 82 (Fig. 8) which are pivotally mounted on the support 48 and which are urged into notches in the plate 40 by a spring 88. The members 82 form the inner jaws of grippers which have outer jaws 92 which are closed by piston and cylinders 100 to clamp the upper in position before the jack 32 is moved from its work receiving position as shown in Fig. 5 to its operative position. The heel band 202 (Fig. 13 not shown) is clamped against the heel end of an upper by a steel band 246 which applies pressure to the heel band 202 through a resilient spacer 204. The heel band is closed about the upper by means of a piston and cylinder 260 via double armed levers 252, 254 and links 250. In operation the operator places an upper (complete with lining and stiffener) and insole on the plate 40 with the jack 32 in its work receiving position (Fig. 5) and depresses a treadle (not shown) to operate the grippers 92 and clamp the upper in position. Further depression of the treadle causes the jack 32 to move from its work receiving position to its operative position and to move heightwise until the insole contacts a hold-down member 174 (Fig. 3 not shown). The heel band is closed about the upper by operation of a hand lever (not shown). The machine then operates as described in Specification 473,197 to wipe the lasting margin, apply bedding pressure against the wipers, tack the lasting margin to the insole and then return the various parts to their initial position.

Title: An electronic multiplying apparatus
Inventor: SCHULZE JOACHIM
IPC: G06F7/52
Filed: 1957-06-21
Abstract: 852,205. Digital electric calculating apparatus. BUCKUNGSMACHINENWERK KARLMARX-STADT VEB. June 21, 1957, No. 19596/57. Class 106 (1). In an electronic multiplying apparatus a multiplier counter controls the number of series of product pulses and initiates the beginning of multiplicand transfer, and one of a series of individual pulses alternating with the product pulses concludes the multiplication, the multiplying arrangement shown comprises electronic decimal counters Z0, Z15 and Z10- Z11 for a multiplicand digit, a multiplier digit and the product respectively, each counter comprising four Eccles-Jordan trigger circuits arranged to have a counting capacity of ten. Multiplication is performed by repeated addition of the multiplicand under control of pulses A and B supplied alternately on separate output lines 2S, 3S by a multivibrator M. A start pulse sets an Eccles-Jordan trigger circuit FFO to open gate GO to allow A-pulses to pass to control counter Z8, the first pulse also setting trigger FF3 to open gate G3. B-pulses pass through G3 to multiplier counter Z15 which therefore produces, at a differential time corresponding to the multiplier digit, a carry output to set FF1 and FF4 and open.gates G6, G1 respectively. The next pulse from G3 resets FF4; and after 10 A-pulses, a carry output from Z8 passes through G6 to set FF2 to open gate G2 and resets FF3 to open G4 instead of G3. When FF2 is set it passes an additional pulse to Z15 which is then stepped to its original value. The A-pulses are now applied to multiplicand counter Z0, trigger FF3 being again set to open G3, so that during the next cycle of Z8, a carry output from Z0 sets FF10 at a differential time corresponding to the multiplier digit to allow a corresponding number of B- pulses from G3 to pass through gate G10 to units product counter Z10, and 9 B-pulses are applied to Z15 to reduce the multiplier by "1." The multiplicand is similarly transferred to Z10 during subsequent cycles of Z8, until Z15 is reduced to " 0 " just before a carry output is obtained from Z8 when the following B-pulses, instead of passing through G3 and resetting FF4, will pass through gates G4, G1 to reset the circuits to their initial condition, FFO then transmitting an end-of-multiplication pulse RV. If the multiplier digit is 0, FF1, FF4 will not be actuated and the carry output after the first cycle of Z8 will therefore pass through G5 to reset FF0 and end the multiplication operation. Provision may be made for dealing with multi-digit multipliers Specification 777,964 is referred to.

Title: Improvements in or relating to electric remote control systems
IPC: G05B11/01
Filed: 1945-07-31
Abstract: 607,210. Electric control systems. WATSON, C. D. July 31, 1945, No. 19689. [Class 40 (i)] In a remote control system, hydraulic means are controlled by an electrically-operated valve and two ring potentiometers are mutually connected in parallel so that, for an input to one potentiometer an output is obtained from the other proportional to their relative adjustment from a datum relative position of balance or zero output, the output being employed as an operating potential for the valve. As shown, members 1 and 2 may be associated with a pair of gun turrets or elements of an aircraft undercarriage. Member 1 is driven by the hydraulic motor 3 subject to manual control through unit 4, while member 2 is driven through a member control system by hydraulic motor 5 controlled by piston valve 6 coupled to coil 7 which is movable in the air-gap of a constantly energized magnet 8 arranged to receive an operating potential from the diametrically opposed brushes 9, 9 of ring potentiometer 10, which are geared to member 2. The associated similar potentiometer 11 is connected to 10 through a multicore cable 30 and the diametrically opposed brushes 12, 12 are energized from a D.C. source and geared to member 1. Movement of member 1 is accompanied by rotation of brushes 12, 12 round ring 11 and a voltage which is a function of this rotation is applied by ring 10 to brushes 9, 9 and to coil 7 which energizes to open valve 6, causing motor 5 to drive ring 2. Rotation continues until the brushes 9 have moved to a position where the voltage between them is zero when the springs 13, 14 return the coil 7 and the valve 6 to the neutral position. An increase in sensitivity is produced by the application of an A.C. potential to coil 7 from transformer 19 which vibrates the coil 7 and prevents striking thereof. In a modification (not shown), the ring 11 is driven by the ring 1 through a lost-motion device to compensate for the effect of the hydraulic " dead-region " and to obviate lag in the hydraulic response. A linear resistance responsive to pressure difference across the hydraulic system may be provided in the circuit of coil 7 to compensate for load variations in the system. The potentiometer arm 12 may be rotated directly by the manual control 20 and in some applications, e.g. as described in Specification 607,211 the resetting drive of arms 9, 9 by the controlled member 2 is dispensed with.

Title: Potato-planting machine
IPC: A01C9/02
Filed: 1956-06-26
Abstract: 798,403. Potato planting machines. CRAMER, H. and CRAMER, C., [trading as MASCHINENFABRIK CRAMER]. June 26, 1956 [Feb. 15, 1956], No. 19729/56. Class 6(1). In a potato planting machine wherein potatoes are carried into a planting tube 5 by moving buckets 2, a device is provided for filling empty buckets comprising a rotatable reserve container 14 which is rotated to deposit a potato in the tube 5 by the engagement of a feeler 8 in an empty bucket. When the feeler 8 engages a potato in a filled bucket, actuation of the container 14 is prevented. As shown in Fig. 2 the feeler 8 is raised upwardly by contact with a potato 4 causing a lever 12 to be raised, a pin 7 on a disc 6 sliding under an arcuate guide 16 on the lever 12 and raising the lever 12 to clear a rocking cam 11 attached to a shaft 9 carrying the feeler 8 so that the feeler 8 is relieved of the weight of the lever 12 and so prevents the feeler from dislodging the potatoes in the buckets. If a bucket is empty the feeler 8 fails to lift the lever 12 and a pin 7 on the disc 6 engages a nose 15 in the arcuate guide 16 causing the lever to move and operate a ratchet 13 which turns the auxiliary container 14 so that a potato is deposited in the tube 5.

Title: Improvements in hydraulic pressure systems for operating brakes and other devices
IPC: B60T13/24
Filed: 1946-07-02
Abstract: 620,593. Fluid - pressure operated brakes. BENDIX AVIATION CORPORATION. July 2, 1946, No. 19775. Convention date, March 5, 1945. [Class 103 (i)] In brake systems wherein the valve of a pneumatic power cylinder which operates an auxiliary master cylinder connected to the brake cylinders is controlled by a manuallyoperated master cylinder, the valve-operating piston is arranged in the auxiliary master cylinder. -A valve device which controls a passage through the main piston of the auxiliary master cylinder is also described. As shown, the auxiliary master cylinder 20 connected at 22 to the brake cylinder pipe-line, forms part of a casting 40 which also forms one end of a pneumatic cylinder 38 and part 120 of the casing 7 of the control valve 58 of cylinder 38. The piston-rod 62 of the cylinder 38 is connected by a pin 64 to the piston 28 of cylinder 38. The piston 28 and the forked end 78 of a member 74 axially slidable in a slot in the piston normally bears on a fixed plate 80 so that the end 76 of member 74 unseats a ballvalve 68 to open a passage through the piston and thus to connect the forward chamber 34 of cylinder 20 with a manually-operated master cylinder connected by pipe 16 to chamber 36 at the rear of the piston. A second piston 82 in the cylinder 20 bears on a lever 90 pivoted at 92 to the casting 40 and connected by rod 104 to an apertured cage 112 carrying a seat 114 for a valve 124 which normally closes the end of a passage 116 connected to a vacuum source. The valve chamber 56 and the chamber 48 of cylinder 38 connected to it by passage 54 are thus open to atmosphere through the cage 112, chamber 110 and port 1101, chamber 46 of cylinder 38 is constantly open to atmosphere through a plug 52. When the master cylinder is operated, pressure begins to build up in the chambers 36, 34 of cylinder 20 and in the pipe-line 24 and moves the piston 82 causing the seat 114 to lift the valve 124, thus cutting off chambers 56, 48 from the atmosphere and connecting them to the vacuum source by passage 116. The piston 50 is thus operated to move the piston 28 and member 74 away from the plate 80, permitting the valve 68 to seat on the piston under the action of its spring 70 so that the piston forces liquid through the pipe-line 24 to the brakes. The pressure applied to the piston 50 reacts in the chambers 56, 110 on a diaphragm 118 which carries the cage 112 and thus through the piston 82 and pipe 16 on the operator's foot.
