Abstract: 669,530. Transmitting mechanical power. WANNER, M. Jan. 3, 1946 [Jan. 12, 1945], No. 299/46. Class 38 (iv). An electro-mechanical power transmission system, particularly for a vehicle, comprises a prime-mover 1, which may be an internal combustion engine or an electric motor, driving one element of a differential gear 5, the other two elements of which are connected, respectively, to the driven member 10 and a D.C. machine 6 electrically connected to another machine 3 which rotates with another element of the differential gear. One or both of the machines have separate, shunt, or compound excitation which is automatically controlled, at least in part, in accordance with the speed of an element of the differential gear other than the element to which the machine is coupled or, in the case of an electric prime-mover, in accordance with the power intake of the primemover. As shown, an exciter 14 for field 21 of machine 3 rotates with machine 6, whilst an exciter 15 rotating with both the machine 3 and the prime-mover 1 provides excitation for both machines 3 and 6. Rheostats 16, 17, responsive both to control by a fuel controller 18 and to automatic control, regulate the fields 22, 23 supplied by exciter 15. The automatic control system for the rheostats may include a frequency or voltage-responsive regulator supplied by a machine whose frequency or voltage is a function of the speed of the controlling element of the gear.

Filed: 1956-01-04
Abstract: 797,148. Packaging. ATLANTA PAPER CO. Jan. 4, 1956, No. 343/56. Class 94(1). Cans are packed in groups in an open-ended wrapper while moving continuously, the wrapper being placed flat on top of a group of cans, folded down on either side of the group, then folded underneath it to produce a lap. The lap is secured by tongue-and-slot or other means. Cans C advancing singly on a conveyer chain 101 are formed into a double row by means as described in U.S.A. Specification 2,752,027 and brought beneath a stack of wrappers 300. Suckers 302 and horizontally reciprocating swords 303, 304 separate the lowermost wrapper W and deposit it above the cans for forward transfer by chains 106 with dogs 107. Separating elements 128 on conveyer chains 125 and reciprocated at right angles to the direction of chain travel by cam bars 129 divide the cans into groups of six, and rotating folders 142 fold a wrapper about the sides of each group to depend beneath it. Further separators 144 similar to separators 128 retain the cans grouped during passage across folding means 152, 153 which folds parts 16, 18 of the wrapper into overlapping relation beneath the cans. The wrapped cans are received on belts 402 and a member 401, moving both horizontally and vertically, locks tongues 24<SP>1</SP> into slots 22 along the lap. During transit through the machine, belts 115 and 137 keep the wrapper in engagement with the cans, the belts 115, however, being deflected clear of the folders 142 by pulleys 117, 118, 120, 121. Microswitches 105, 108 stop the packaging in the absence of a can or wrapper, or in the event of improper positioning of the latter. The wrapper is as described in Specification 790,815.

Filed: 1953-01-07
Abstract: 718.873. Transformers and inductances. GENERAL ELECTRIC CO. Jan. 7, 1953 [Jan. 9, 1952], No. 507/53. Class 38(2) A magnetic core comprises packs of laminations forming its leg and yoke members which join at mitred corners, at least one of the leg members comprising several packs of laminations of different lengths having mutually offset mitred joints, the joints of all the legs being tapered and the tapering of adjacent Iaminations in each pack differing in such a manner that the mitred joints of adjacent layers converge from the outer to the inner edge of the core to form a tapered overlap. Leg members 2, 4 are similar and comprise packs of laminations 8 . . . 12 which vary in width and length, the adjacent laminations forming mitre joints with the corresponding laminations in the yoke parts 6, 7 along the lines 13, 15 which two joint lines converge from the outer to the inner edge of the core. All the laminations of these corners meet at one or other of these lines. The centre leg 3 is also formed from packs of laminations which vary in width and length, but in this case more than two joint lines exist, all the laminations in the outer packs, i.e. 8, 12 meeting the corresponding yoke laminations on either of the joint lines 14, 16, the laminations of packs 9, 11 meeting on joint lines 17 or 18, whilst laminations in pack 10 meet along joint lines 19 or 20. Each leg member has a plate 22 fixed on either side of it and spaced therefrom by a layer 23 of insulation, and each plate has a stud 24 secured thereto. Clamp members 25 are fixed to the yoke sections 6, 7 and have cross bars 30 associated therewith through which pass the studs 24. After the leg and yoke members have been drawn together by means of studs 24, bolts 29 are screwed through the clamp members 25 into lugs 27 affixed to plates 22, thus retaining the core in its assembled position. One method of constructing such a transformer is to build up the core layer by layer flat on a floor, then uprighting the core, removing the upper yoke member by means of the assembly 22, 24, 25, 30, assemble the windings on the leg members and replacing the upper yoke member.

Title: Manufacturing ceramic articles by sintering
IPC: B01J8/18
Filed: 1963-01-07
Abstract: Ceramic articles are prepared by sintering preformed bodies in a fluidized-bed of a granular material that is stable at the sintering temperature and does not react chemically with the bodies to be sintered, e.g. sintered with the bodies to be sintered, e.g. sintered <PICT:0976516/C1/1> alumina and zirconia.

Title: Improvements in or relating to hair drying helmets
IPC: A45D20/22
Filed: 1938-01-10
Abstract: 497,773. Hair - drying apparatus. MULLER & HOFFMANN FABRIK ELEKTRISCHE APPARATE GES. Jan. 10, 1938, No. 710. Convention date, Jan. 8, 1937. [Class 81 (ii)] In a closed-circuit hair-drier in which the air may be wholly or in part shut off, the air is caused to circulate also by a secondary path which causes the hair to be dried by a current of air in the opposite direction. The main air current normally circulates from the fan 6 over the heating resistances 4 through the diaphragm 9 and annular space 18 to the head 1 in the drying chamber 7 and thence partly out of the helmet and partly back to the fan. Air may also pass through the funnel-shaped openings of a series of tubes 10 which terminate in the calotte 12. The flaps 13 can be operated to increase the flow of air into the calotte, by means of a flexible spirally wound rod or by a system of small shafts and universal couplings. This causes the hot air to beat down upon the crown of the head, where the hair is thickest, and which would otherwise, since it is out of the main flow of air, be dried more slowly than the remainder of the hair.

The drum 5 is slidingly mounted on a fixed sleeve 1 by which is also carried a conical clutch 12 having a spindle 6 secured thereto and a jointed handle 8. A spring-pressed sleeve 3 having claws 4 engaging the drum holds the latter locked to the fixed sleeve 1 by means of toothed discs 14, 16. The drum is freed from the sleeve and engaged with the clutch by means of cam surfaces 8a on the handle, which act on the washer 11 and sliding sleeve 3 when the handle is pressed inwards or outwards. The window is raised or lowered by then rotating the handle through 120 and subsequently repeating the operations till the necessary adjustment is obtained. A helical cam 10 acting on the washer 9 returns the handle to the vertical position when free. When the rocking arm 22 reaches the top of the guide-rail 30 it rotates into the position shown in Fig. 3 and throws the window over a fence rail, a pivoted catch 36 being simultaneously engaged with a recess in the rail 30 by a connecting link 33. On reversing the motion of the cord the rocker 22 is first depressed, re-engaged with the guide and the window and catch 36 then released. The tensioning pulley is carried on a pivoted spring-pressed arm.
