Title: Improvements relating to electric toasters
IPC: A47J37/08
Filed: 1948-12-04
Abstract: 648,151. Thermal switches. HOOVER, Ltd. Dec. 4, 1948, No. 31450. Convention date, Dec. 5, 1947. [Class 38(v) [Also in Group VI] An electric toaster includes a main temperature responsive timing element and a temperature responsive compensating element which does not alter its setting during the toasting period. Bread carriers supported by lugs 16 are moved into the toasting position by depressing a handle 27 (not shown), and causing main and auxiliary timing mechanism carriers 17, 40 to be simultaneously moved down until the wedge 83 attached to the auxiliary carrier 40 engages the wedge 82 which is horizontally movable by compensating bimetallic strip 84 and vertically adjustable by manually operated cam 79. Main switch contacts 33, 34, are made when handle 27 is lowered, and the when the toaster is cold the contacts 72, 73 coritrolled by the bimetallic timing element 49 are also closed. At the same time, the auxiliary heater 48 mounted on auxiliary carrier 40 comes down to its lowest position relatively close to the element 49, the positioning of the heater 48 and element 49 also depending upon the setting of the cam 79 by the finger wheel 80. After an appropriate toasting period the heated timing element 49 snaps down causing spring spring blade 71 to open contacts 72, 73 and to trigger off latch 64 which thus allows the carriers to be raised to the non-toasting position by spring means. The strengths of the respective springs and of the compensating strip 84 are such that the setting of the wedges 82, 83 and hence the sensitivity of the timing element 49 are not altered during a toasting period and over-compensation is thereby avoided. Normal compensation for residual heat in the element 49 after the first toasting period is made by the bimetallic element 84 which flexes according to the temperature of the toaster as a whole and thus varies the proximity of the heater 48 and element 49 before the beginning of a toasting operation. A further embodiment is illustrated in Figs. 4, 5 (not shown), in which the auxiliary heater 48 and reflector 47 are directly mounted on the main carrier plate 17 to which the wedge 83 is also secured. The toasting period may be manually terminated in both embodiments by turning handle 94 thereby releasing latch 64.

Abstract: 842,748. Yarn tension control means. GOODRICH CO., B.F. Oct. 10, 1957 [Oct. 10, 1956], No. 31703/57. Class 120(2). Tension controlling means comprises a rotatable spool support to receive a supply spool of flexible filamentary material, a pivoted arm carrying a guide member over which such material is fed as it is payed from the spool, the arm being arranged so that its weight imposes tension on such material and so that it is adapted to pivot in response to changes in the tension in such material, and a brake band leading around the spool support from an anchorage to a spring connection with said arm, the band being arranged so that its snubbing engagement on said spool support tends to pivot the arm to release said snubbing engagement of the band, and said spring connection including a stud fastened to said band, a lug pivoted on said arm through which said stud extends, and a spring compressed between said lug and the free end of the stud whereby an abrupt change in tension of such material and the corresponding change in the pivotal position of said arm is cushioned to effect a gradual change in the rotation of the spool support. Wire from a spool 10 mounted on ball bearings on a spindle 11 passes over a sheave 41 axially movable on a spindle 42, over four sheaves 44 on a fixed spindle 45 and three sheaves 48 on a spindle 49 attached to a lever 26 pivoted to the frame supporting the spool 10. The lever 26 is loaded by a weight 29 and has attached to it by a pivot pin 36 one end of a brake band 24 engaging a brake drum 20 on the spindle 11 and rotating with the spool 10 by means of a pin 17. Variations in tension of the wire passing over the sheaves 48 cause the lever 26 to swing under the action of or against the weight 29 to increase or decrease the braking action of the band 24 and thus increase or decrease the tension in the wire payed off the spool 10.
