Abstract: 1,226,164. Making alloys. GROOVE & WELTER. Oct.31, 1968 [Oct.31, 1967], No.51616/68. Heading C7D. A high-melting metal component is introduced in controlled quantity into a melt of a low-melting base metal by feeding a rod of the high-melting component into the melt while subjecting the rod to ultrasonic vibration and cooling that portion of the rod which extends above the melt surface. The rate of dissolution may be controlled by adjusting the depth of immersion of the rod and the exciter frequency of the ultrasonic generator. This frequency may be automatically adjusted to be the natural frequency of the system as it alters during dissolution. The rod may be hollow or it may be formed of sections or annuli of different metals. An example of the production of an alloy of Zn with 0À15% Ti and 0À60% Cu is given in which separate rods of Cu and Ti are introduced into a Zn melt in an induction furnace each attached to its own ultrasonic generator. The use of rods containing 76% Ni, 15% Cr, and of Mg with a coating of Al, and of Mg tubes is also referred to.

Abstract: 1,227,557. Flash-photography. MINOLTA CAMERA K.K. July 11, 1968 [July 15, 1967], No.33210/68. Heading G2A. A camera comprises a rotary socket 1 for carrying a plurality of flash-bulbs positioned by springs 2, a plate 3 biased by spring 3s, a socket rotating lever 5 operating on pins 1a biased by spring 5s, a bent piece 3c of plate 3 engaging through lever 12a shutter actuating member 12, a film advance lever 13 which via connectors 14, 15 moves lever 12a and hence plate 3 via piece 3c to its left hand position, and a shutter release lever 11 whose downward movement is transmitted via connector 9 and spring-biased connector 10 to an exposure meter pointer checking plate 8. When exposure meter pointer 7a is in the L. H position denoting daylight photography it prevents by means of pointer checking portion 8a, upward movement of plate 8 on shutter release and hence plate 3 is locked by end 4a of lever 4 operating on lug 3a. When pointer 7a is in the R. H position for flashlight photography the plate 8 rises, closes switch 6 of the flash circuit by means of lug 8c and releases lever 4 so that plate 3 moves to the right. When the film advance lever 13 is operated again plate 3 is moved to the left again and lever 5 rotates the socket one position. The socket may also be rotated by using the rising movement of the shutter release lever as shown in Fig. 4 wherein the rightward movement of plate 3 is prevented by hook portions 11c and 3e until upward movement of the shutter release lever 11 frees hook 11c from 3e.

Abstract: 1,229,827. Bunch making on yarn packages. LEESONA CORP. 7 Aug., 1968 [28 Aug., 1967; 13 Sept., 1967; 22 Sept., 1967], No. 37577/68. Heading B8M. [Also in Divisions D1-D2] A method of processing a filled (or partially filled) bobbin 11 having an unwinding end of yarn comprises forming the said end into a bunch 220 and positioning the bunch in the bobbin. On operation, a filled bobbin 11 is supplied to a first station No. 1 having a split shaft 51 for reception of the bobbin, and a gate 55 on which the bobbin rests. An indexing mechanism moves the bobbin in the shaft 51 to the next station No. 2 which is a reserve station. A further indexing step takes the bobbin to the first processing station No. 3. A vacuum tube 71, 72 fits into the split in the shaft 51, the tube 71 being open on this side. The tube 71 communicates with a chamber 62 having an exhaust duct 135. Vacuum is applied to the chamber 62 and the bobbin is rotated by means of a spindle 125 so that the transfer tail and leading end of the yarn are drawn off and sucked down the tube 71 to the chamber 62. The connecting port between the tube 71 and the chamber 62 is closed by a valve 87 and the yarn is drawn across the chamber 62 and a further port below the bobbin. The yarn is clamped by a member 100 and broken by the continuing rotation of the bobbin. The said further port is closed and vacuum applied to the tube 71 via a valve 76. The leading end of the yarn is then drawn up into the tube 71 and along the tube 72 and is cut by means 77 at the valve 76. The valve 76 is closed and vacuum applied via a chamber 206 above the second processing station No. 4. The leading end of the yarn is drawn from the bobbin into the chamber 206 and is massed against a perforated partition 207 in a random loopy manner. An indexing step brings the bobbin to the second processing station No. 4. A gate in the tube 72 immediately above the bobbin at station No. 4 is opened and the bobbin is lifted until it touches the mouth of the chamber 206. A downward blast of air ejects the bunch formed of the leading end of yarn and pushes it into the interior of the bobbin. The next indexing step conveys the bobbin to an inspection station No. 5. A photo-electric cell determines the presence or absence of a bunch 220 in the bobbin and appropriate action is taken i.e. the absence of a bunch causes the gate 55 holding the bobbin to open and the bobbin is dropped down a shoot 244. The next indexing step carries the bobbin with a bunch 220 to a discharge station No. 6. Means for centring the bobbin at stations 3 and 5 are employed. The spindle 125 has inflatable sheaths 136 which grip the bobbin for rotation thereof.

Abstract: 1,239,650. Transistor circuits for energizing inductive loads. SINGER CO. 23 Sept., 1969 [30 Sept., 1968], No. 46709/69. Heading H3T. [Also in Division H2] An inductive load is energized initially by a full wave rectified supply and subsequently by a half-wave rectified supply, a rectifier effective for one polarity of the supply being triggered by one effective for the other each time it goes off and the triggering of the former being terminated after the initial period. The figure shows a full wave bridge rectifier 11, 12, 13, 14 connected at one diagonal to the solenoid 10 and at the other to an A.C. supply S. When switch, 15 is made and the lower S terminal is positive the positive voltage developed through rectifier 18 across capacitor 40 causes rectifier 11 to fire so that the solenoid is energized. At the end of the half-cycle rectifier 21 goes off and the back e.m.f. generated across the solenoid provides a pulse of current through a capacitor 24 and through the gate of rectifier 12 so that the latter switches on for the other half cycles. The capacitor 24 is thus charged incrementally until it is fully charged whereupon, as no charging current flows, rectifier 12 ceases to be triggered and half-wave rectification occurs. Switch 37 when operated prevents the solenoid from being energized by shorting the gate circuit of rectifier 11 and a circuit 32-36 discharges the capacitor rapidly when the circuit is switched off. It is stated that the bridge rectifier shown could be replaced by a full wave centre tapped transformer type and that where the control exercized by 37 is not required, SCR 11 could be replaced by a diode.
