Title: Improvements in or relating to temperature compensating devices for measuring instruments
IPC: G01D5/04
Filed: 1938-05-10
Abstract: 514,568. Temperature compensating devices. BENDIX AVIATION CORPORATION. May 10, 1938. No. 13960. Convention date, May 21, 1937. [Class 106 (ii)] An indicating or measuring instrument comprises a sensitive element connected by a motion transmitting mechanism to an indicating member wherein a temperature responsive element forming part of the motion transmitting mechanism is fastened at one end for rotative adjustment about its own axis and is free at its other end. In the pressure gauge shown in Fig. 1, a diaphragm 27 receiving the pressure to be measured from an opening 26 carries a post 29 in which is mounted a bimetallic rod 30 capable of being rotated on its own axis by an upturned end 30a (not shown) and held in adjusted position by a screw 31. The rod 30 is mounted parallel to a rockshaft 32 which it rocks on movement of the diaphragm by engaging a rod 39 radially connected to the shaft 32. Another radial rod 40 on the shaft 32 engages a rod 42 which rotates a sector 45 on a shaft 44 to rotate a pinion 46. and hence a needle 18 over a dial 17. On change of temperature, the diaphragm moves. but the bimetallic rod 30 'flexes, thus altering the leverage on the rod 39, and by rotating the rod 30 through its upturned end 30a so that the flexing occurs in the right direction and to the right amount, compensation for temperature is effected. In the modification shown in Fig. 7, the diaphragm 27 carries a rod 59 which engages a notch 58 in a bimetallic strip 50 mounted for rotation in a post 54 and held by a screw 56, the effective length of the strip being capable of variation by setting a screw 57 in any one of a number of holes in the rockshaft 32 to engage a corresponding hole in the strip 50. The rockshaft carries a radial arm 40 as in Fig. 1. Change of temperature causes the strip to flex and so to alter the leverage of the rod 59 about the rockshaft 32. The amount of flexure depends on the angular position and effective length of the strip.

Title: Improvements in or relating to the manufacture of abrasive materials
IPC: B24D11/00
Filed: 1942-10-15
Abstract: 561,945. Flexible abrasive sheets. CARBORUNDUM CO. Oct. 15, 1942, No. 14469. Convention date, Dec. 29, 1941. [Class 60] Abrasive sheet material is made by introducing abrasive grains into a dispersion of dry, separated fibres, forming the mixture of fibres 'and grains into a web, impregnating the web with an adhesive and compressing. Cardable fibres are separated and delivered by a doffing brush 3 into an air current 6 produced by a blower 7, and abrasive grains are showered from a hopper 12 into the air-dispersed fibres in a deposition chamber 10. The fibres and grains collect as a web on an endless moving foraminous belt 15 under the influence of suction produced by air entering conduit 22 leading to the suction side of the blower 7, and the web is initially compacted between rolls 19 and 20, is further compacted and saturated with adhesive by rolls 24, 25 of which 25 dips into adhesive in a tank 26, and finally carried in festoons through a drying or curing chamber. The feed gate 13 of hopper 12 may be magnetically vibrated, an air jet 14 may be provided to regulate the direction and velocity of the shower of abrasive grains, and a further hopper for introducing abrasive grains may be provided near rolls 19, 20. The endless foraminous belt-may be replaced by a wire screen which can be slid into position to receive the fibres and abrasive grains and withdrawn and replaced when a sufficient thickness has been collected. Cotton, wool, jute, flax, glass fibres, resinous or synthetic rubber-like fibres may be used, the abrasive grains may be silicon carbide, fused aluminium oxide, flint, corundum, emery, or rouge ranging in size from polishing powder to coarse grit, and the adhesive may be glue plasticised with glycerine and/or natural or synthetic rubber, vulcanized latex, a resin, such as phenol-formaldehyde, or sodium silicate. Modifying agents for water-proofing, reducing friction, making brittle or flexible, may be added. One side of the web may be impregnated with a resilient and flexible binder, the other with a brittle binder. Dry powdered fillers or binding agent may be added in a manner similar to the abrasive grains. Specification 555,640 is referred to.

Title: Improvements in photo-electric web-registering device
IPC: B65B41/18
Filed: 1931-05-16
Abstract: 378,869. Feeding webs. TRIGGS, W. W., 57, Lincoln's Inn Fields, London.- (American Machine & Foundry Co. ; 511, 5th Avenue, New York, U.S.A.) May 16, 1931, No. 14555. [Class 100 (i).] In a web-registering mechanism for wrapping- machines and the like, of the kind in which the web is formed with recurrent portions having different optical characteristics from those of the remainder of the web, which co-operate with a light source and a photosensitive device to effect the stopping of the web-feeding means with one of the recurrent portions in a predetermined position, the webfeeding means is driven through a planetary gear mechanism an element of which is adapted to be held stationary or released to start or stop the operation of the feeding means, and the photo-sensitive device when influenced by the passage of one of the recurrent portions causes actuation of the means controlling said element to stop the operation of the feeding means. As shown, the web W passes between the lanip 34 and a photo-electric cell 36. The .cell is connected through an amplifier 38 to a relay 44, and the current flowing is normally sufficient to attract its armature so as to hold open the contact 45. When an opaque spot on the web passes between the lamp and the cell, the diminution in current is sufficient to release the armature of the coil 44 and thus close the contact 45, thereby completing the circuit of a coil 50 through a rotary switch 49, driven from a crank 21 on a main shaft 22. 'The coil 50 attracts a spring-held pawl 32, which normally engages a ratchet 30, and thus serves to stop the web feed as described below. 'The driving-gear comprises a feed roller 8 fixed to a shaft 17, and this shaft is driven intermittently by an oscillating connecting-rod 20 driven from the main shaft 22 which makes one revolution for each cycle of the cutting-machine. 'The rod 20 engages a member 18 loose on the shaft 17, and an arm 23 of the member 18 carries a stud 24 on which is mounted a double planet gear 25, one face of which engages a gear 26 fast on the shaft 17 while the other face engages an internal gear 28 loose on the shaft 17 and having an external ratchet 30. While the ratchet 30 is held stationary by the pawl 32, a clockwise motion of the crank 21 causes a forward motion of the web through the stationary internal gear 28, but when the pawl 32 is disengaged, the gear 28 is free to move so that the motion of the arm 1'8 is not transmitted to the gear 26 and the feed roller 8 stops. The pawl 32 is released so as to re-engage the ratchet 30 by the rotarv switch 49 which breaks contact some time after the cutter knife has been actuated, whereupon the feed is restarted. To enable the web to be adjusted so that the designs thereon are properly registered relatively to the cutter, a roller 7, over which the web passes, is carried by adjustably mounted arms 14.
