Title: Improvements in or relating to coin-freed apparatus
Filed: 1925-11-13
Abstract: 266,038. Jofeh, R., and Alexander, G., (Administrators of Jofeh, J. M.). Nov. 13, 1925. Testing coins.-In coin-freed apparatus for use with milled edged coins, the milled coin rolling out of a shoot, 14 is arrested by a pin 47 extending from a bell-crank lever 48 controlled by a spring 51. The milling of the coin is engaged by knife edges 36, 35 carried respectively by a slide 25 and by a lever 37 pivoted to the slide. Normally the slide is retracted by a, spring 40 and the knife edge 35 is held above the coin by an incline 45 on the inner end of the. lever 37 engaging a. fixed pin 46. When the slide 25 is drawn out by pulling a knob 28, first the lever 37 is pulled down by a spring 147 so that the knife edge 35 engages the coin, and then the knife edges carry the coin forward against the resistance of the pin 47 to a position over a shoot 53 leading to the releasing mechanism. In this position, an incline 43 on the other end of the lever 37 engages a pin 44 to raise the lever 37 and allow the coin to drop down the shoot 53. The downward movement of the lever 37 is limited by an adjustable screw 49. The coins, before entering the shoot 14, are tested for diameter and rigidity of material. They are first guided by a shoot 20 to a laterally and downwardly inclined shoot consisting of two opposed members 4, 9 of channel section, the upper member 9 being pivoted at 10 and held down by a spring 11. Coins of slightly too large diameter stick in the portion a, b of the shoot, while coins of too small diameter fall out sideways in the portion b, c. Discs of lead or other soft material are arrested by a sharp edged member pivoted to the upper portion 9 of the shoot. The normal distance apart of the members 4, 9 is adjusted by a screw 17 on the member 9 engaging a fixed stop 16. The member 9 is raised to clear the shoot of rejected coins and discs each time the knob 28 is pulled by a link 31 connected to the member 9 at 33 and to the slide 25 at 32.

Title: An improved method of and apparatus for use in cutting metal bar stock into lengths
IPC: B23D21/00
Filed: 1961-08-10
Abstract: 939,369. Shearing. DAVID ETCHELLS (MACHINERY) Ltd., and H. F. ETCHELLS. Sept. 11, 1962 [Aug. 10, 1961], No. 28875/61. Class 83 (4). An apparatus for cutting bar stock comprises a bar-encircling cutter mounted in a carrier which is restrained from rotary motion and has a motion bodily around the bar stock in an outward spiral path about the axis of the bar, said motion being derived from a mechanism comprising two identical pairs of power-operated eccentrics, whereby an annular groove is formed in the bar until either a length is cut off or can be readily broken-off. A housing 10 comprises front and rear walls 11 and 12 which support input shafts 16 and 17 which carry similar driving pinions 18 and 19. Equidistant from the shafts 16 and 17 are shafts 20 and 21 mounted for rotation in the walls 11 and 12 and driven by similar spur-wheels 23 in constant mesh with the pinion 19. Each shaft 23 has an eccentric portion 24, hereafter referred to as a first eccentric, the two eccentrics being in phase. Rotatable about the first eccentrics are two second eccentrics 25, which have the same throw as the first eccentrics and are also in phase with each other. The pinion 18 drives similar spur wheels 26 which are concentric with and rotatable relative to the spur-wheels 23, and which have a positive drive connection with the second eccentrics 25. A carrier plate 28 is rotationally engaged with the second eccentrics and has lobes 29 projecting through openings in the side walls of the housing and each fitted with an annular cutter 31. Associated with each cutter is a fixed guide bush 32 through which the stock to be cut is passed. When the second eccentrics are at 180 degrees to the first eccentrics the cutters 31 are concentric with the guide bushes. If the second eccentrics are driven in the same direction as, and slightly faster than the first eccentrics the carrier plate will move bodily around the bar stock in an outwardly spiral path. The drives for the shafts 16, 17 are from a motor 36 which drives the shaft 17 by a belt 42 and the shaft 16, by a belt 44 and through a clutch 45, at a slightly higher speed. With the clutch disengaged the eccentrics assume the 180 degrees phase relationship and there is no movement of the carrier, when the clutch is engaged the second eccentrics are driven at increased speed.

Title: Improvements in or relating to radio and like two channel signal transmission systems
IPC: H01Q5/00
Filed: 1947-10-29
Abstract: 634,252. Multiplex radio signalling. MARCONI'S WIRELESS TELEGRAPH CO., Ltd., and COLCHESTER, C. D. Oct. 29, 1947, No. 28910. [Class 40 (v)] [Also in Group XL (b)] A two-channel radio transmission system, particularly for sound and vision channels, includes a four-terminal combining network of the type described in Specification 535,181, comprising a balancing resistive arm R, Fig. 1, across the input terminals and two carrier resonant arms Z and R<2>/<z>, each between one input and one output terminal 3. One of the channels to be combined, 1, is connected to one output terminal and the diagonally opposite input terminal and the other, '2, to the remaining two terminals. The impedance arm Z may consist of an inductance L1, Fig. 2, in parallel with a series combination of inductance L2 and capacity C2 or it may consist of an inductance LB, Fig. 3, in series with a parallel combination of inductance LA and capacity CA. In the first form L2, C2 is resonant at one of the carrier frequencies and the whole arm is anti-resonant at the other while in the second form LA, CA is antiresonant at one frequency and the whole arm is resonant at the other. One of the forms, of impedance Z, is used for one arm and the other form, of impedance R<2>/<z> for the other arm. According to the invention the network employs distributed impedances and in a practical embodiment, for sound and vision carriers, using coaxial lines instead of lumped reactances, three tubular conductors A, B, C, Fig. 4, are formed into a T. The coaxial feeder for the vision carrier has its outer conductor A1 constituted by one of the tubular conductors A of the T and has an inner conductor A2 in which is housed a central conductor A3. A second coaxial feeder for the sound carrier has its outer conductor B1 connected to the other co-linear tube B of the T at its outer end. A third feeder connected to an aerial has its outer conductor C1 connected to the conductor C of the T at its outer end. The inner conductors A2, C2 are connected together, a condenser K is connected between inner conductor B2 and A3, and a resistance R is connected between B2 and the junction point of A, B, and C. A short-circuiting connection between A2 and A3 is arranged to form a line A2, A3 an odd number of quarter wavelengths long at the vision frequency carried by A1, A2. The tubes BC in conjunction with the outer conductors B1, C1, therein form short-circuited lines with their open ends in parallel, one resonant at the frequency of one input and the other anti-resonant at the frequency of the other input. In a modification B2 and A3 are joined together and the condenser is connected between this junction and C2, each co-linear section being made half a wavelength long at the frequency of the carrier input to the other section.
