Title: A process for testing and starting the working of high tension lines
IPC: H02K17/42
Filed: 1928-08-17
Abstract: 297,818. Siemens - Schuckertwerke Akt.-Ges. Sept. 29, 1927, [Convention date]. Drawings to Specification. Alternating-current induction machines; exciting.-A high-tension line is charged up by an asynchronous generator excited on the rotor side. The exciting current may be obtained from the same or another line or network through an exciting machine and a variable-ratio transformer, and the whole set may be driven by a compensated asynchronous motor which supplies wattless current to the line in addition to the asynchronous generator after use. The initial excitation of the asynchronous machine may be obtained from a direct-current source. On the occurrence of a fault whilst charging up the line the voltage of the asynchronous generator will fall and limit the fault current, but a wattmeter relay may be employed to open the exciting circuit under these conditions.

Abstract: 522,093. Coin-freed article-delivery apparatus, TRIGGS. W. W. (Rowe Mfg. Co., Inc.). Dec. 2, 1938, No. 23990/39. Divided out of 522,027. [Class 27] In a coin-freed articledelivery apparatus having a series of containers for articles, delivery mechanism associated with each container and operable by a plunger moved by the purchaser, and a changegiving device associated with and operable by each plunger, each changegiving device comprises a plurality of open-bottom coin-containers 82, any or all of which may be filled, a stationary plate 80 below the containers and having openings 86 out of register with the containers, and a movable plate 84 located between the containers and the stationary plate and provided with openings 85 adapted, as shown, in the normal position to register with the openings 86 and in another position with the containers. The plate 84 is preferably a rotary disc mounted on a spindle 87 and biased to the position shown by a spring 90. When coins are inserted in the machine and a plunger is pulled out to deliver an article a lug on the plunger engages an arm 89 on the spindle 87 and rotates the disc 84 through 45 degrees so that the holes 85 register with the coin containers 82 and each hole is filled by a coin. When the plunger is returned the spring 90 rotates the disc back until the holes 85, 86 are in register when the change coins drop through the plate 80 to a delivery plate. The coin-freed article-delivery apparatus is that described in Specification 522,027.

Title: Copolymers and esters thereof
Inventor: RINGWALD RICHARD MICHAEL
IPC: C08F220/12
Filed: 1955-08-24
Abstract: Copolymers of allyl glycidyl ether with at least one acrylate of the general formula CH2=C(R)COOR1, where R is hydrogen or methyl and R1 is an aliphatic or cycloaliphatic radical, are prepared by polymerization through the unsaturated bonds of the ether and ester, in the presence of a chain stopping agent such as turpentine, phellandrene, chloroform, bromobenzene and carbon tetrachloride.  The acrylate may be methyl, ethyl, propyl, n-butyl, isobutyl, b -ethoxy-ethyl, nonyl, lauryl or cyclohexyl acrylate or methacrylate. Polymerization may be effected by adding the acrylate and chain-stopping agent in equal portions over a period of ten hours to refluxing allyl glycidyl ether through which air is blown.  The copolymer may be esterified with a drying oil acid such as those obtained by the saponification of linseed, dehydrated castor, soya bean, tung, oiticica, perilla, tobacco seed, sunflower or marine animal oil, and the resulting esters may be used as filmforming vehicles in coating compositions.  Specification 758,920 is referred to.

Title: Electric resistance welding machine
IPC: B23K11/06
Filed: 1971-04-19
Abstract: 1276806 Welding by pressure EVG ENTWICKLUNGSU VERWERTUNGS GmbH 19 April 1971 [25 March 1970] 24704/71 Heading B3R In an electric resistance welding machine in which a workpiece is fed continuously between one or more pairs of electrodes at least one of the electrodes of the or each pair has peripherally spaced contact surfaces and is mounted on a shaft which is driven with a complex motion such that each contact surface follows a trochoidal path including a straight portion in which the surface contacts and travels along with the workpiece. Thus the welding period for each weld is extended (as compared with a simple roller type electrode) and consequently the speed of the workpiece through the machine can be relatively greater. In a wire mesh welding machine two parallel shafts 5, 6 carry pairs of opposed electrodes 7, 8, the motions of which are a mirror image of each other across the workpiece plane. In a modification two or more longitudinally spaced pairs of electrode shafts may be provided (Fig. 4, not shown) to give more closely spaced welds and the shafts may be related in phase so that alternate transverse wires of the mesh are welded by respective electrodes of two spaced sets of electrodes. In a further embodiment intermittent lap spot welding of sheets or strips may be carried out (Figs. 2a, 2b, not shown) and in a modified machine for this purpose the lower electrode comprises a spring-loaded, liquid-cooled stationary contact member with which the workpiece makes sliding contact. Where a number of longitudinally spaced sets of electrodes are used the electrodes may be arranged so as to give a continuous seam weld and furthermore may constitute the only feed means for the workpiece. The described drive arrangement for providing the trochoidal motion of the electrode contact surfaces comprises a driving shaft 14 (Fig. 5b) mounted in fixed bearings on the machine frame, and an eccentric disc 26 driven by the shaft 14 and mounted in a recess in a wheel member 27. The latter has internal teeth 29 which mesh with those, 28, of a fixed stationary gear 25 mounted coaxially with shaft 14 the wheel member 27 and thus the electrode drive-shaft 5 partaking of a combined orbital and rotary motion to effect the desired motion of the electrode.
