Title: Improvements in or relating to phonograph device
Filed: 1955-01-31
Abstract: 763,930. Phonographs. DUNCAN, T. R. Jan. 31, 1955, No. 2859/55. Class 40 (2). In a phonograph, a pick-up member comprises a pivotally mounted main arm 36, 37 having a domed end portion 49 adapted for engagement with a diaphragm 14 comprising one side of the case, and having a stylus 54 on said arm spaced from said end portion 49 for engaging the record R. The arm 36, 37 is made of a hard plastic material and is pivotally mounted on a pin 44 carrying a coiled compression spring 45 which tends to hold a flanged portion 39 of the arm 36 against the base 12 of the case and thereby holds the end portion 49 in tension against the diaphragm 14, the whole of the arm 36, 37 being in effect a lever acting about a fulcrum comprising the point of the stylus 54. The record R is rotated manually by a hand-crank, the shaft 16 of which acts . as a mandrel for the record R. The shaft 16 carries a bush 22 fixed thereon and having a squared end portion to fit a square hole in the record, the two being held together by a spring clip 26. The stylus is a steel needle secured by force fit in the boss 52 in the arm 36, 37. When.the stylus runs into the run-off groove it encounters the curved portion 85 of a hook-shaped arm 75 which is pivotally mounted on the record at a point 73 and is spring-loaded in a counterclockwise direction so that the end of the curved portion 85 normally abuts the centre shaft 16. As the record rotates a projection 86 on the arm 75 passes beneath a ramp 63, Fig. 2, on the arm 36 and lifts it from the record. Further rotation of the record causes the arm 36 to be swung outwardly by the arm 75 as it is rotated about point 73 until the arm 36 comes to rest against the edge of the casing in a position corresponding to the starting radius of the record. As the record continues to rotate the arm 75 frees itself from the ramp 63 so that the stylus is lowered again on to the record and the arm 75 returns to its normal position.

Title: Improvements in and relating to machinery for cleaning and peeling potatoes and the like
IPC: A23N7/02
Filed: 1922-02-06
Abstract: 196,417. Cropper, F. Feb. 6,1922. Peeling potatoes &c.-A machine for cleaning and peeling potatoes and the like consists of a rotary abrasive drum 1, having within it an abrasive conveyer such as 10, rotating at a different speed and adapted to move the potatoes towards outlets 6. The drum is supplied automatically at intervals with fresh potatoes from a feed shoot, and means may be provided for varying the relative speeds of the conveyer and drum. Preferably the drum and conveyer are perforated e.g. made of "stabbed" sheet metal and the drum is mounted in a trough 4 kept partly full of water. As shown in Figs. 1 and 4, the feeding means comprises a rotary cage 29, open at the top to receive potatoes from a shoot, and having bottom apertures which register in turn with an aperture in a partition 27 across the feed mouth 25. The charge of potatoes thus supplied, is caught by two flaps 32 and retained until the opening 5 in the drum registers with the feed mouth, whereupon the flaps momentarily open. Normally a sliding door 12 is held in closed position over the opening 5 in the drum by springs 13, but on the opening 5 approaching the mouth 25 the door is held back by a catch 44 until the charge is received, whereupon a cam on the drum trunnion releases the catch and the door 12 closes. The feed cage 29 is driven by chain gearing from the drum trunnion, and the flaps 32 are actuated by rack- and-pinion gear operated by a cam on the drum trunnion. In a modification, Figs. 9 and 12, the feed cage 29 is replaced by a cylinder 58 having a radial gap or pocket 59 registering alternately with a feed shoot outlet and with a diametrically opposite inlet to the feed mouth 25. The " trailing " wall of the gap is formed sloping, as shown at 60, so as readily to return surplus potatoes to the feed shoot. The door 12 is replaced by a fixed band 64 encircling the drum, except opposite the mouth 25, and the flaps 32 are opened once to every four revolutions of the drum through the intervention of a counterwheel gear of the " Geneva-stop " type. The variable-speed gearing for the conveyer comprises a variable friction gear combined with a sun-andplanet train.
