The pole plates 24, 38 are secured together by bolts 75 and carry pole rings 61, 62, 63, 64 surrounding stationary electromagnets 20, 22. The armatures 15, 41 are connected to the bolts 75 by leaf springs 16, 40 which bias the armatures away from the pole plates. The friction lining of each driven disc comprises a series of segments 68 engaging apertures in a carrier plate 8 and the pole rings 69, 70 similarly comprise series of segments engaging apertures in the carrier plate. Between the segments the carrier plate is radially recessed at 71. The armature plates are square the corners 15a of which act as cooling fins. The driving shaft 1 may be the crank-shaft of an internal combustion engine and the pole plate 24 may be formed with teeth 55 engageable with a starter pinion. Automatic wear adjustment, maintaining constant armature travel, is provided by stops 46, Fig. 6, engaging holes 48 in the armature 41 and carried by sleeves 66 in the pole plate. During clutch engagement the stops 46 are pushed into the sleeves 66 so that on clutch disengagement the armature 41 is only permitted axial movement equal to the lost motion between the stop 46 and hole 48.

Hollow cylinders of bread dough or cake, e.g. for filling with cream, mince meat or sausages after baking, or kneaded agricultural or marine produce, are formed by the simultaneous passage of the plastic mass and a core element 8 through a nip formed by the flat, concave or convex peripheral ends of bevel gear teeth (Figs. 6 and 7, not shown), which drivingly interconnect a number of bevel gear-wheels 1 arranged for rotation around a ring-shaft 2. For forming dough cylinders in the form of a wound strip, the core elements 8, which at their upper ends are provided with flanges (9) (Figs. 8 and 9, not shown) of the dimensions of the nip, are delivered to the nip from a fixed guide holder 7 and a dough strip (31) which is delivered to the nip by rolls (19) (Fig. 3, not shown) is wound on the core elements 8 by the rotation of the ring-shaft 2 and hence of the nip forming wheels (1) in a circular path. The rotation of the ring-shaft 2 is effected by a pinion drive 27 to the periphery of a plate element 23 which carries the ring-shaft 2 about which the gearwheels are rotated in the direction of dough delivery by a pinion bevel drive 20, 21 from a stationary circumscribing bevel 24. The filled cores 8 are delivered on to a conveyer 30 and removed after baking. In the formation of a non-strip wound dough cylinder (Figs. 1 and 2, not shown) the bevel gear arrangement is provided at the outlet of a dough hopper (6) and the ring-shaft (2) is stationary and the bevel wheels (1) are rotated only in the direction of material delivery.

A tube bending process is characterized in that a straight tube to be bent is filled with a compact material 19, e.g. resin, sand, lead or metal alloy, one end of the tube is inwardly swaged at 20 and this end is placed in the rectilinear portion 5 of a channel 4 in a shaping die 2 which channel also has an elbowed portion 6 and the tube is pushed into the die by means of an hydraulic jack 14 whilst the end of the tube remote from the jack is subjected to fluid pressure which lubricates the tube in the die whilst it is being bent. The elbowed portion of the die is connected to a tank 9 containing oil having molybdenum particles in suspension and a pump 10 delivers the oil under a predetermined pressure to the elbowed portion 6. As the tube is pushed through the die the lubricant. escapes partly between the tube wall and the die to ensure adequate lubrication. This leakage is arrested by a packing gland into the end of the die adjacent the jack. An antifriction member 25, Fig. 4, may be bolted to the leading end of the tube to act as a guide. Tubes of hard metals, e.g. molybdenum stainless steel, cobalt steel, tungsten and titanium may be bent by this process and also very thin walled tubes of nickel zirconium and phosphor bronze.
Patent GB-622103-A (GB)
Abstract: 622,103. Milling grain. JACOBSON, S. Oct. 12, 1945, No. 26745. [Class 58] In a method of lulling grain having hulls attached to the kernels only locally e.g. oats, the grain is introduced into a chamber having an inlet and outlet for a stream of air and is subjected to the action of the stream of air at a velocity to cause the husks to be forced or broken open by direct aero-dynamic action thereby laying bare the kernels. As shown in Fig. 1, the apparatus for treating small batches consists of a cylinder 1 of perforated plate connected to an imperforate conical funnel 2 connected at the bottom with a pipe 3 and a compressor or a blower. The upper end of the cylinder is closed by a piston 4 which may be dispensed with if the cylinder is made tall enough. The grain is thrown up into the cylinder and caused to circulate by the compressed air which expands in the cylinder and escapes through the perforations, the husks being broken off. The pressure at the mouth of the pipe 3 should be at least 1 Kg/cm<SP>2</SP> higher than the pressure outside the cylinder, e.g. for oats the difference is 2.3 Kg/cm<SP>2</SP>. The time required may be reduced by increasing the pressure and vice versa. A continuous operation is performed in the apparatus shown in Fig. 2 in which the parts 1, 2, 3 and 4 have the same function as in Fig. 1 and in which an entrance pipe 5 surrounds the mouth of and extends above the air pipe 3. The grain is continuously fed by a supply pipe 7 to a container 6 and from it continuously by an injector effect of the air in pipe 3 into the cylinder. The hulled grain is removed from the cylinder by a pipe 8. In a further modification (Fig. 3 not shown) two separate perforated cylinders are provided, one having a greater diameter and provides an annular opening between them through which the whole grain, husks and kernels escape into a surrounding chamber, the wall of the latter being perforated so that only the husks and milled grain pass through and the bottom being conical and sloping towards an annular opening leading the whole grain back to the entrance to the smaller cylinder to be hulled. The rate of supply of unhulled grain may be adjusted to balance that being hulled. Specification 273,652, [Class 58], is referred to.
