Title: Improvements in or relating to electromagnetic step-by-step selectors
IPC: H01H67/06
Filed: 1932-12-22
Abstract: 407,488. Automatic exchange switches. GENERAL ELECTRIC CO., Ltd., Magnet House, Kingsway, London, and HAMILTON, R. M., c /o General Electric Co., Stoke, Coventry. Dec. 22, 1932, Nos. 36290/32 and 6198/33. [Class 40 (iv).] A switching-mechanism comprises ten rotary wiper-assemblies 5 associated with a common driving shaft 11, any desired wiper-assembly being coupled to the shaft for rotation therewith by a preliminary movement of the shaft itself. In the apparatus shown, the hollow shaft 11 contains a further hollow shaft 13 in which is a flat spring 15 carrying transverse pins 14. A preliminary rotation of a transverse shaft 19 through a ratchet 24 effects through arms 21 the longitudinal movement of shaft 11 to a position such that on depression of plunger 17 by magnet 31 one of the pins 14 is protruded through a hole 12 into a corresponding socket 18 in the required wiper-assembly. The shaft 11 with the selected wiper-assembly is rotated through worm-gearing 35, 34 driven by a motor, and magnet 31 is then released and release magnet 29 operated to restore the shaft to normal, the wiper-assembly being left in its operated position and being subsequently restored by further movement of the shaft when the connection is ended. In the meantime the shaft may be used to set any other desired wiper-assembly. The shaft 19 carries a wiper set 27 associated with a bank 30 which may be used for selecting an idle wiper-assembly, for example, when the mechanism is used as a group of line-finders, and for various control purposes. When a wiper-assembly is used as a numerical switch, shaft 19 is stepped until the wipers in use are found, and the selected wipers are then rotated under the control of an additional wiper set 4, fast with the shaft 13 and having its bank cross-connected to the bank of a separate digit-switch 42. The switch 42 may be operated successively by tens and units digits. Two adjacent wiperassemblies may be linked together and driven in succession, one acting as a finder and the other as a first selector. Two or more wiperassemblies may also be driven together for hunting over large groups. In modified constructions, the pins 14 are formed with toothed ends engaging toothed inner surfaces on the wiper-assemblies, or are fixed in shaft 11 and engage projections on the wiper-assemblies, ratchets and pawls being provided to lock a selected wiper-assembly to the driving shaft. In a further modification, the holes in the outer shaft 11 are staggered and selection of a wiperassembly is effected by a preliminary rotary movement of the shaft. In the construction shown, each wiper-assembly is mounted in trunnion bearings in a bracket 49 secured by screws 65, the wiper-assemblies being readily removable by first removing plate 64 and its associated apparatus and then lifting out shafts 11, 13. Specification 256,022, [Class 40 (iv)], is referred to.

Filed: 1934-12-21
Abstract: 445,376. Feeding sheets. RATCLIFF & SONS, Ltd., J., Junction Foundry, Wortley, Leeds, and BELL, W., 2, South Terrace, Barwick-in-Elmet, near Leeds. Dec. 21, 1934, No. 36653. [Class 100 (i)] In connection with a sheet-feeding device for printing-machines, the sheets are registered against front stops 21 and a side register by frictional feeding means in the form of a roller 4 with which coact adjustable rubber-covered nip rollers 5, the roller 4 being reciprocated axially towards the desired side register and moving the sheet by its rotary motion against the stops 21. In a modified form the sideregistering movement may be the rotary one and the front-registering movement the axial one. The axial reciprocation is obtained by a cam 9 engaging a roller on a shaft 14 which transmits its motion to the shaft of the roller 4 and also to the shaft 30 which carries the nip rollers 5. The cam 9 is oscillated by a crankmechanism 11, 12 which may be arranged to give a quick return to the roller 4 after the registering operation. The roller 4 is driven by sprocket gearing 7 from the shaft of a cam 28 which operates by lever-and-link mechanism 29, 27, 26, 25 the shaft of the front stops with which is correlated the oscillating movement of the shaft 30 so as to raise the rollers 5 after the registering operation. The shaft 30 is fitted with a number of adjustable brackets 31 which are arranged to receive vertical pivots about which the arms 19 carrying the nip rollers 5 can swing in a horizontal plane. By means of a screw 35 and nuts 36 the rollers 5 can be adjusted for sheets of different thicknesses, and springs 37 are provided for returning the rollers 5 to their central position if deflected therefrom by the axial movement of the roller 4. The rotary and axial movements of the roller 4 may be effected by means of springs so as to prevent the marking of sheets by rubbing action.

Title: An improved process for the production of wood pulp
IPC: D21C3/26
Filed: 1932-12-31
Abstract: 409,081. Preparation of paper pulp. FORESTAL LAND, TIMBER, & RAILWAYS CO., Ltd., Regis House, King William Street, London, FONTANA, A., 19, Gran via Layetana, Barcelona, Spain, PHILLIPS, R. 0., 82, Chittern Court, Baker Street, London, and ROTTSIEPER, E. H. W., 16, Harpenden Rise, Harpenden, Hertfordshire. Dec. 31, 1932, No. 37018. [Class 96.] A process for producing pulp from wood, and preferably hard wood such as wattle, maple, or chestnut comprises impregnating the wood in the form of chips or relatively small pieces with an aqueous solution of alkali at normal or room temperatures, or temperatures only slightly above normal, heating the impregnated material with an approximately neutral mixture of sulphites and bisulphites, having preferably a pH value between 7.5 and 5.5, and then submitting the treated material to mechanical disintegration and hydration. The aqueous alkali used preferably contains up to 10 per cent of sodium hydroxide and the impregnation is carried out at 10‹-30‹ C., the vessel being subjected to alternations of pressure below atmospheric pressure, and a higher pressure to aid the impregnation. The second treatment is carried out at 20‹-150‹ C. for a period of 2-8 hours, the temperature being slowly brought up to a maximum value. To prepare the mixture of sulphites and bisulphites, either the aqueous alkali is separated from the chips, and sulphurous acid is added thereto, allowance being made for the amount absorbed by the chips, and the liquid is then filtered and poured back on to the chips or the excess impregnating solution is removed from the chips and only sufficient sulphurous acid is added to the chips to convert the alkali absorbed by the chips into the mixture of sulphites and bisulphites. After heating the treated material is washed and mechanicallv disintegrated and hydrated in a beater, pulpbreaker, rod mill or similar apparatus. The pulp may be bleached either during or after the mechanical treatment bv the addition of any usual bleaching agent such as calcium or sodium hypochlorite or chlorine in one or more stages between each of which the pulp may be treated with small quantities of alkalies. Instead of or in addition to the treatment with the oxidizing bleaching agents mentioned above, the pulp may be treated with sodium or zinc hydrosulphite or a substance or substances capable of reacting to produce hydrosulphites. This treatment may come before or after the use of oxidizing bleaching agents.
