Abstract: 623,658. Cutting-machines. KODAK, Ltd. April 15, 1947, No. 10030. Convention date, April 15, 1946. [Clase 31 (i)] In a machine for slitting sheet material, such as cellulose nitrate, cellulose acetate or the like, wherein the material passes between a pair of spaced parallel shafts each carrying a circular knife and one of a pair of intermeshing helical gears, one of the shafts is mounted with axial play and the tooth angle of the gears is selected to create an end thrust on the axially movable shaft to bring the knives into and maintain them in operative engagement as they are driven by one of the gears. As shown, machine supports 1 carry a track 2 dovetailed in crosssection on which are slidably mounted carriages 3. Each carriage 3 carries a spindle 36 having a worm-wheel 38 engaging a worm 39 operated by a hand wheel 40 for adjusting the position of the carriage. Carried by brackets 4 on each carriage 3 is a knife shaft 7 on which is rotatably mounted a roller 5 and rigidly mounted a slitting knife 15 and a helical gear 9. Also carried by one bracket 4 is a stub shaft 16 capable of end play of about <SP>1</SP>/ 32  inch on which are mounted the other slitting knife 17 and a helical gear 18 meshing with the gear 9, the gear 18 being slightly smaller than the gear 9 so that the cutting peripheries of the knives do not coincide in operation. The angle of the gear teeth may be 20 degrees with its axis. The gear 9 is driven by a gear 27, and all three gears are enclosed in a housing 35 on the carriage 3. The gear 27 is slidable on but rotatable with a shaft 28 whose ends are mounted in bearings 29 on the supports 1. The shaft 28 is driven through gearing 31 ... 33. The strip material " S " may be fed through the machine by driving rollers (not shown). The speed of the cutting knives may be greater, but not more than 10 per cent greater than the speed of feed of the sheet material. The sheet material S is fed through the machine over rollers 10, 5, 11, 12, 13, 14, being in engagement with the rollers 5 for 170 to 180 degrees of the latter's circumference, whilst the marginal portions M are run over rollers 25, 26 and thence to a suitable take-up mechanism (not shown).

Abstract: 969,729. Making pipes. JOHNS-MANVILLE CORPORATION. March 15, 1963 [April 5, 1962], No. 10295/63. Heading F2P. A method of loosening a wet pipe from an electrically conductive mandrel to which the pipe is bonded, comprises engaging the wet pipe with an electrolyte and causing an electrical current to flow through the electrolyte, wet pipe and mandrel. As shown in Fig. 1, the mandrel 2 carrying a wet asbestos-cement pipe 4 is supported on guide rails 6 connected to the negative terminal of a D.C. source of electricity, and a container 8 lined with rubber 10 and filled with an electrolyte 16 has positioned therein a plate 12 of graphite connected to the positive terminal of the source of electricity and a sheet 14 of open cell polyvinyl chloride, the pipe 4 making more than line contact with the surface 20 of the sheet 14. The mandrel is rolled along the rails 6 under the action of gravity or by a positive force applied thereto and loosening of the wet pipe from the mandrel is accomplished by the flow of a high-amperage, electrical current from the plate 12 to the mandrel. In a modification, the pipe but not the mandrel, is partially submerged in the electrolyte. Apparatus functioning in accordance with the method is described.

Title: Improvements in or relating to the Breech Mechanism of Ordnance.
Inventor: ASBURY DORSEY FROST
IPC: F41A3/08
Filed: 1916-07-21
Abstract: 100,965. Asbury, D. F. July 21, 1915, [Convention date]. Ordnance breech-mechanism.-Relates to the screw type having a mushroom form of gas check and a cam-device for performing the locking rotation of the breech-screw during the final closing movement of the breech-screw carrier. The invention consists in providing means whereby all the swinging energy of the mushroom is utilized in translating the swinging movement of the breech-screw into angular locking movement through the intermediary of the cam device. In the form shown, the breech-screw B is rotated for locking, on a spigot C<1> extending from the carrier C, by a cam-device E during the final closing movement of the carrier. The gas check pad 11 with its rings 12 is held against the breech-screw by a weak spring 16 acting through a nut D<2> on the spindle D<1> of the mushroom D. When the breech closes, a slight forward movement of the mushroom D is permitted against the action of the spring 16, but further movement is prevented by the contact of the nut D<2> with a cup 13 which bears through three sliding rods 14 against a ring 15 carried by the breech-screw. The forward momentum of the mushroom is thus usefully expended in producing angular rotation of the breech-screw.
