Steering and balancing.-The pilots control gear for aircraft rudders, elevators, and ailerons comprises a control column 1 rigidly connected to a shaft 4 having offset arms 5 mounted on pivots 6, 6<1>. A lever 7 having its free end in the axis of the pivots 6, 6<1> is mounted on an axle in the lower part of the column, this axle having arms connected by links 8 to similar arms on a toothed quadrant geared to a pinion on the shaft of a hand wheel 10. Two levers 2, 2<1> with adjustable footrests 20 are mounted respectively on a shaft 17 and sleeve 18, the shaft and sleeve also carrying levers 16, 16<1> connected by links to arms on a shaft 21 mounted beneath the pivots 6, 6<1>. The sleeve 18 is connected by a yoke 19 to a sleeve 19<2> near the righthand bearing of the shaft 17. The shaft 21 has an arm 22 for actuating the rudder, the arm 7 is connected by a link 12 to a double-armed lever 14 for controlling the ailerons, and an arm 11 on the pivot 6<1> controls the elevator. The frame on which the controls are mounted forms a detachable unit. The same frame may also accommodate a second set of gear for dual control. When dual control is required the arm 5 and bearing 6<2> at the centre of the frame are transferred to the right of the frame extension and a shaft 4<1> carrying a lever 1<1> is connected by a flange coupling to the shaft 4. The bearing for the shaft 17 is similarly transferred and a shaft 17<1> and sleeve 19<1> carrying foot levers are clutched by movable dog clutches respectively to the shaft 17 and sleeve 19<2>. A lever 7' on the control lever 1<1> is linked to the lever 14, which in this case is connected by a link 15 to an aileron control lever at the side of the frame. A modification is described in which the duplicate controls are arranged one in front of the other, the second set of controls being disconnectible from the transmission by simultaneously actuated dog clutches. The duplicate set of controls may be carried on a separate frame. Fig. 10 shows a modification in which the lever is pivoted to a longitudinal shaft 29 which has an arm 30 for actuating the ailerons, the elevator being actuated by a rod connected to the lever. A rocking lever 32 actuates the rudder through rods 33. A second set of controls may be mounted behind these as shown, the shaft 29 of the rear control being connected to an extension of the forward shaft by a clutch 35, and the rear rocking lever 32<1> being connected by a similar clutch to a lever connected to the rods 33. These two clutches are operated from a common lever. The second control lever can be separately coupled to or uncoupled from the elevator control.

Title: Improvements in or relating to raising machines
Inventor: CLEGG RICHARD ROBINSON
IPC: D06C11/00
Filed: 1958-04-24
Abstract: 880,018. Fabrics finishing; raising. TOMLINSONS (ROCHDALE) Ltd. June 2, 1959 [April 24, 1958], No. 12979/58. Class 42 (1). A raising machine comprising a barrel upon which is mounted a plurality of card clothing covered rollers around the periphery thereof is characterized in that there is provided at least one magnetic coupling or brake adjacent the pinion of the barrel, there being a pinion on the output side of the coupling meshing with the pinion on the barrel and carried by one part of the rotor of the coupling, the other part of the rotor being either anchored, free to rotate in the same direction as the first part, or free to rotate in the opposite direction to the first part depending on whether the coupling is adapted to control pile or counter-pile rollers, the arrangement being such that an increase in the magnetic flux or flux density between the two parts of the rotor can be arranged to have braking effect or accelerating effect on the first part of the coupling and thereby the rollers and to indicate the energy supplied to the rollers and thereby the amount of raise imparted to the cloth by the rollers. The machine shown has a barrel 10, pile rollers 11 and counter-pile rollers 12. The drive for the pile rollers 11 is provided by V-belts 13 from a pinion 14 at one end of the barrel 10 and the drive to the counterpile rollers is provided by a similar arrangement at the other end of the barrel. Referring to the pile rollers 11, a pinion 15 meshes with pinion 14 on the barrel, the pinion 15 being on the output shaft 16 of the magnetic coupling 17. The input shaft 22 of the magnetic coupling may be either fixed or driven. If the shaft 22 is fixed then when current is applied to the coupling 17 the action is to brake the output shaft 16 being driven by the fabric passing through the machine. If the shaft 22 is driven at a speed in excess of that corresponding to the speed of the fabric through the machine, then when a current is applied to the coupling the shaft 16 is driven at a higher speed than that induced by the fabric passing through. In either case the effect is to " raise " the fabric and furthermore the energy of the electric input to the magnetic coupling is a measure of the amount of raise imparted to the fabric passing through the machine. As shown, the magnetic couplings for both the pile and counter-pile rollers have an input drive. In a modification, the shaft 22 and thereby the shaft 16 are caused to rotate in the opposite directions such that a braking torque is applied and in a further arrangement the shaft 22 of the magnetic coupling is anchored.

Title: Improvements in or relating to the covering of heels
IPC: A43D25/12
Filed: 1927-05-17
Abstract: 295,670. British United Shoe Machinery Co., Ltd., and Bates, A. May 17,1927. Heel, covering.-A device for holding a heel in a plurality of positions for application of a cover thereto is provided with means for holding the cover after initial application thereof to the heel. The pressure applied to clamp the heel is, in degree, independent of the operator's act of clamping the heel. Pivotal movement of the heel from one position to another takes place about an axis remote from the heel, so that light pressure against the heel itself is sufficient to produce the movement. A base 2 carries an upstanding collar 3 housing a stem 4 of a barrel 5 carrying brackets 7, 8. The bracket 8 carries prongs 44 for engaging the seat of a heel, and one jaw 40 of a pair of grippers for engaging the cover. The bracket 7 carries a self-adjusting breast-engaging member 45 and a lever 10 for engaging the tread surface. To enable work to be changed, a treadle rod is linked to a lever 23 adapted to abut against a rod 13 screwed to engage a nut having trunnions 11 co-operating with a slotted yoke at the end of the lever 10 to actuate the lever against the action of a spring 17. The clamping pressure is varied by turning a hand-wheel 14 secured to the rod 13. A strap 33 holds the cover in the position, the ends of the strap being secured to a lever 34 provided with a locking pawl 37. Meshing gear segments 26, 27 are secured to the collar 3 and bracket 7, respectively, the effect being that as the operator pushes the lever 10, or the heel, sideways, the turning 'of the bracket 7 about its horizontal pivot is accompanied by an oscillation of this pivot in the vertical collar 3, with the consequence that the work is swung to a convenient position at the front of the machine. The bracket is centred by a spring plunger 30. As the work leaves the vertical position determined by this spring plunger, a spring-operated jaw 41 is closed on the jaw 40 to grip the cover. Specification 268,232 is referred to.

Title: Improvements relating to the polymerization of olefines
IPC: C07C2/16
Filed: 1936-05-11
Abstract: <PICT:0456315/IV/1> A hydrocarbon mixture containing an isoolefine is treated with 55--85 per cent sulphuric acid at about 130--50 DEG  C. and the olefine polymer separated.  Chambers 1, 2, connected by pipes 13, 17, are filled to level 3 with 55--85 per cent sulphuric acid, the temperature being maintained by a heater 4.  The hydrocarbons in liquid or gaseous form are forced in by pump 7 through pipe 5 and spray 6.  Unreacted materials leave at 8, a pressure of about 30--100, preferably 50, lbs./sq. in being maintained.  A stirrer 11 emulsifies the acid and olefines, the lighter emulsion flowing through pipe 13 to chamber 2.  Polymerized olefines separate and are removed through pipe 15, and sulphuric acid flows through pipe 17 to chamber 1.  Alternatively, a single tall chamber may be used about \ba3/4\be filled with acid, the hydrocarbons ascending from below and a polymer layer forming on top.  Any tertiary olefine present is converted into the alcohol which dissolves in the polymer. Sufficient water to compensate for that removed is added through pipe 18.  The temperature used varies inversely with the acid concentration.  A mixture of butane and isobutylene gave a 21,3 per cent yield of polymer using 80 per cent acid at 50 DEG  C., while a mixture of straight chain and iso-olefine gave an 11,4 per cent yield using 75 per cent acid at 71 DEG  C.  The tertiary alcohols may be separated from their mixture with olefine polymers by washing with water, or the mixture may be used alone, or mixed with gasoline as a motor fuel.ALSO:Motor fuel consists of a mixture of isoolefine polymers and tertiary alcohols, obtained by treating olefines with sulphuric acid, alone or mixed with gasoline.
