IPC: H01H51/28
Filed: 1961-10-03
Abstract: 955,399. Electromagnetic relays. ASSOCIATED ELECTRICAL INDUSTRIES Ltd. Sept. 5, 1962 [Oct. 3, 1961(2)], Nos. 35633/61 and 35634/61. Heading H2B. A plurality of relays of the type incorporating sealed magnetic contact devices are mounted on a metal, e.g. mild steel, plate 9 between a flange 9a and an edge 9b of the plate. A raised bushing 8 on the end cheek 4 of each relay coil former fits into one of the apertures 10 in flange 9a and a groove 15 in end cheek 3 rests on one of the lipped projections 13, 13<SP>1</SP> formed in edge 9b. Each relay is retained in position by bending a tongue 14 on the edge 9b into engagement with it. The plate 9 magnetically shields the relays on one side and at one end. Each relay has an L-shaped member 7 which shields the top and the other end. The underside of the bottom relay is shielded by a flange formed on plate 9. When a plurality of mounting plates are arranged side by side, all the relays, except those carried by one of the extreme plates are shielded on all sides and at both ends. The shielding of the relays of the one extreme plate is completed by a further plate. Small components, e.g. rectifiers, may be mounted alongside the relay coil formers.

Abstract: 977,006. Temperature alarms. F. ROSTVIG. Sept. 11, 1963 [Sept. 15, 1962], No. 35774/63. Heading G4N. Adevice for indicating a temperature increase in a bearing comprises a whistle connected to a chamber such that upon actuation of a heat operable means air or other gas flows through the whistle, and a microphone for receiving the sound signals. The bearing to be monitored has inserted into it a cartridge comprising a chamber 5 having a whistle 7 at one end. Within the chamber is a valve 9 which is released by fusing of the wire 10 to allow compressed gas from the chamber 5 to pass through the whistle 7. In a second form, Fig. 3 (not shown) fusing of the wire releases a spring loaded piston which forces the gas through the whistle. Alternatively Fig. 4 (not shown) the chamber may contain a material which evolves gas at a predetermined temperature. The microphone may be tuned to receive a single frequency, or one of a number of frequencies and may be connected to operate a visual indicator, and to indicate which of a number of bearings has overheated.

Title: Apparatus for filling valve bags
IPC: B65B1/18
Filed: 1928-12-12
Abstract: 326,478. Marks, Sir G. C., (Bates Valve Bag Corporation). Dec. 12, 1928. Filling bags.-Apparatus for filling receptacles, for example valve bags, comprises main and auxiliary feeding means adapted for simultaneous operation to discharge material into a receptacle through a spout mounted on a weighing device, and means dependent on the movement of the weighing device for controlling the feed of material. In the form shown in Fig. 1, a weighbeam 37 provided with an horizontally-adjustable pendulum weight 54 carries at one end, upon a knifeedge 41, a bag support 43, 44 to which is affixed a feed spout. In use, a valve bag is positioned with the spout entering the valve, and a clamp 48 is rocked to grip the bag. The operator de presses a pedal 32 and by means of intermediate mechanism 34, 35, 105, 28 closes a clutch con necting a constantly-running shaft 27 with the shaft 92, Fig. 5, of the main feed propeller con sisting of a hub 108 with radiating blades 109 An upward extension of the shaft 92 carries agitat ing blades to ensure a downward flow of material into the propelling chambers. The clamp 48 ir moving to grip the bag allows a switch to close thereby energizing a magnet to close a further switch and start a motor 26. The motor, acting through gearing 114 rotates an auxiliary feed pro peller consisting of a screw 113, and also drives agitators 117. Both propellers then operate t( force the material through the spout 47 into th( bag. As the weight increases, the weighbeam assisted by a spring 77, tilts, and a latch 66 pivoted on the weighbeam is lifted clear of a trigger 61 pivoted on a shaft 62. The trigger is now free to swing slightly to the right and to permit an arm 30 pressing thereon to descend and raise the rod 29 connected to the clutch. The spring 105 assists the upward movement and gives the parts sufficient momentum to jar the clutch members apart in the event of the clutch spring failing to open the clutch owing to sticking. The main propeller is thus stopped, but the auxiliary feed continues until the motor circuit is opened by a mercury switch operated by the further movement of the weighbeam. To prevent oscillation of the beam and consequent opening and closing of the mercury switch when the main feed is stopped, a roller 73 on the trigger 61 may be arranged to run over a surface 72 carried by the weighbeam. Instead of arranging the main and auxiliary propellers in the manner shown in Fig. 5, they may be arranged as shown in Fig. 10. where both propellers are in the form of bladed cones rotating on vertical shafts and delivering to a common outlet 24<1>; alternatively, the auxiliary propeller may rotate about an horizontal shaft. The joint between the moving spout 47 and the stationary leading thereto from the feed hopper is rendered practically frictionless and dust proof by means of a spring-pressed felt washer.

Abstract: 1,201,017. Sun visors. FORD MOTOR CO. Ltd. 22 July, 1969, No. 36703/69. Heading B7J. A sun visor 10 comprises a wire frame 11 pivotally mounted on an arm 16 adapted to be secured to a motor vehicle, a tapered socket 17 attached to the frame and containing a tapered member 23, and an adjusting screw 30 in the socket 17 urging the tapered member 23 into the socket and thereby permitting adjustment of the resistance to the torque required to rotate the frame relative to the arm. As shown, the tapered socket is contained within a plastics bracket 12 connected to a resilient wire frame 11 by means of a U-shaped clip 14, this frame 11 being sandwiched between layers of plastics foam material covered by an envelope of plastics sheet material. In one embodiment, Fig. 1, the tapered member is a sleeve 23 mounted on and keyed to the arm 16 so that when the screw 30 is tightened against the interposed spring washer 32 frictional contact between the sleeve 23 and the socket 17 is increased. Movement of the frame 11 axially of the arm 16 is prevented by the engagement of a projection 20 into the recess 21 of a bracket 15 and recess 21 also permits rotational movement of the sun visor about 180 degrees. In a further embodiment (Fig. 4, not shown) a short arm is located in a single bracket and passes through a hollow screw coaxial with a tapered sleeve and socket, adjustment of the screw altering the frictional contact between sleeve and socket.
