Abstract: 1322247 Harvester reel height adjustment ROBERT BOSCH GmbH 15 Oct 1970 [15 Oct 1969] 48951/70 Heading A1F A hydraulic system for yieldably adjusting the position of the reel 14 of a combine harvester relative to the table 2 comprises ram 15, 16, 17 which is supplied with fluid by pump 8 and controlled by spool valve 26. The ram is pivoted at its lower end to the table 2 and at its upper end to one of the arms 13 which are pivoted at 12 and support reel 14. The ram is single-acting but the two chambers of the cylinder either side of the piston are interconnected by a line 23 including a throttle 24 which may be variable. The spool 33 of valve 26 has three positions and is operated by lever 34. The line 28 from pump 8 to valve 26 includes a pressure relief valve 32 connected to line 29 to sump 9.  Operation: To Raise: Spool 33 is moved fully left connecting pump 8 to line 25 and isolating the sump line 29. Pressure in chambers 20, 21 is equalised by line 23 but due to the difference in area of piston faces 18, 19 the piston rises at sufficient pressure displacing fluid from chamber 21 through line 23. The volume vacated by face 18 of piston 16 is greater than that displaced by face 19, the difference being supplied by the pump. To Hold: The spool is moved to its central position in which line 25 is blocked and the pump is connected to the sump. Due to the incompressibility of the liquid in the ram the piston cannot move downwards but if header 2 falls suddenly into a depression, the piston may move upwardly by forcing liquid through the throttle so that sharp pressure increases are smoothed out. During this upward movement, and the subsequent return. the movement of the piston is damped by the throttle. To lower: The spool is moved right so that both ram and pump are connected to sump. The throttle 24 may be a narrow bore through the piston (Fig. 3, not shown) or may be contained in a bore formed in the wall of the cylinder (Fig. 4, not shown).

Abstract: 1492470 Feeding sheets K J LITTLEWOOD 28 Nov 1975 [2 Dec 1974] 49086/75 Heading B8R A device for separating sheets such as limp fabric sheets from the top of a pile comprises upper and lower body parts 11, 12 secured between a top plate 13 and a bottom ring guard 14. Upper and lower plungers 18, 19 with tapered bottom ends 22, 23 are vertically slidable in the body parts and associated with diaphragms 20, 21. The downward movement of the plungers is limited by pins 25, 26 controlled by suitable cam rings 16, 17, and the downward movement of the plunger 19 causes projection of a plurality of annularly arranged outwardly sloping pick-up needles 34 against the action of spring 35. An annular pressure pad 36 is urged downwardly by a spring 39. In operation, the device is moved on to a pile of sheets so as to push up the pad 36. The plunger 18 is lowered by pressure air admitted above the diaphragm 20 and forces down the lower plunger until the pin 25 stops the movement, the needles being projected into the top sheet. On raising the device with the top sheet, the pad 36 is forced down by pressure air and the spring 39 so as to stretch the sheet and complete penetration of the needles. The device with the sheet may now be brought on to a second pile, and pressure air admitted above the diaphragm 21 forces the lower plunger down further until stopped by the pin 26, causing the needles to penetrate a further sheet, The sheet or sheets can be released by pressure air being admitted below the lower plunger to raise the plungers. If pressure is maintained above the diaphragm 20, the plungers rise only enough to release one or some of the sheets.
