Title: Improvements in automatic weighing machines
IPC: G01G23/14
Filed: 1925-07-28
Abstract: 258,709. West, R. R. July 28, 1925. Indicating-mechanism. - An automatic weighing-machine has a stationary scale or pointer, a movable pointer or scale operatively connected to the weighing mechanism, and a freely mounted scale or pointer adapted to be maintained in the zero position while the tare weight is being registered and to be moved with the scale or pointer connected to the weighing mechanism to indicate the net weight of the commodity. The indicating spindle c of the machine carries a dial b graduated in a counter-clockwise direction. Outside the dial b is a stationary dial a graduated in the - opposite direction. In front of both dials is a pointer d provided with two indicating points d<3>, d<4> and mounted upon a movable fitting d<1> so as to be capable of assuming a stationary forward detached position as shown in Fig. 3, or a rearward position coupled to the dial b for rotary movement therewith, as shown in Fig. 2. In performing a weighing operation, starting with the mechanism in the zero position shown in Fig. 3, an empty receptacle is placed on the weighing platform and the dial b rotates in a clockwise direction in proportion to the weight, the tare weight being thus indicated upon the dial b by the point d<4>. A press button h<2> is now pressed in so as to assume the position shown in Fig. 2. where it is retained by the entry of a spring g<2> into a groove h<3> in the plunger h of the press button. During the inward movement the pointed end h' of the plunger, acting through a spring d<9>, presses back the fitting d<1> carrying the pointer d until teeth d<5> on the pointer engage grooves on the dial b and thus couple the pointer and dial together. The commodity is now placed in the receptacle and the dial makes a further rotation, carrying with it the pointer d. The net weight is now indicated by the point d' upon the stationary dial a, and the gross weight is indicated upon the dial b at the zero point of the stationary dial a or vice versa. Upon removal of the receptacle the dial and pointer return to zero position and an arm i' on the pointer-fitting knocks back the spring g<2>, thus allowing the button plunger h to return under spring action, and by the engagement of clutch parts h<4>, i<2> to draw the pointer d. forward into its detached position shown in Fig. 3. Mutually-engaging inclines on the plunger-support g and on the pointer fitting ensure positive zeroization of the pointer. If the tare weight of the receptacle is known the pointer d may be set back behind the zero position by hand in readiness for a series of weighings, by rotating the plunger support g the necessary amount by means of a knob g<1>. In a modification the spring d' is arranged within the plunger h. In further modifications. the circular dials are replaced by straight scales or quadrant scales. The pointer mav be stationarv and the inner and outer dials movable. Magnetic means may be used to clutch and declutch the pointer to and from the movable dial.

Abstract: 583,366. Gyroscopic compasses. SPERRY GYROSCOPE CO., Inc. Nov. 17, 1943, No. 19231. Convention date, May 6, 1942. [Class 97 (iii)] A gyro compass comprises a free gyro precessed towards the meridian by the interaction of a stator device producing two oppositelyrotating spaced parallel flux fields, and an inductor. As shown in Fig. 2, a conventional gyro comprising a rotor 15, vertical ring 13 and horizontal ring 14 are mounted in a casing 10, the vertical ring being connected by gearing 17 to a compass card viewed through a window. The ring 14 carries an insulated inductor 20 comprising curved or bent rods 22 electrically connected at their inner ends by cross-wires 23. The stator comprises upper and lower annular cores 25, 26 with wound polepieces supplied by polyphase (three phase) current so as to produce two separate flux fields rotating in opposite directions. A U-shaped frame 32 carries the stator by means of trunnions 30, 31 and is itself supported on a single trunnion 33 which constitutes also one of the trunnions of a gimbal ring 36 supporting a gyro vertical 46. The trunnion 40 of the gyro vertical is connected by a parallel motion linkage 38 to the trunnion 31 of the stator. When the gyro ring 14 tilts due to rotation of the earth, the inductor 22 comes within the influence. of one of the rotating fields produced by the stator and component torques are produced which respectively precess the spin axis of the gyro rotor towards the meridian and apply a damping effect. By bending or curving the inductor rods 22 to change their inclinations relative to the rotating flux fields ; the ratio of the two component torques may be widely varied within a range wherein either the damping or the meridianseeking torque may be eliminated. Instead of employing a gyro vertical to stabilize the stator, the stator frame and U-shaped frame 32 may be made pendulous.

Abstract: 704,762. Net making. BRIDPORT INDUSTRIES, Ltd. Aug. 1, 1951 [Aug. 2, 1950], No. 19338/50. Class 74 (1) In a power operated net making machine in which net is made only from weft twine fed from the side of the machine in a direction at right angles to the travel of the finished net as it passes to the net beam, a feeler bears upon the weft when it is being fed and is combined with means to prevent further operation of the machine only if the feeler fails to encounter the weft thread when the latter should be feeding. On a shaft 31 are borne, firstly a feeler 30 normally supported by the weft yarn, secondly an arm 39 connected by linkages 40, 41, to a mercury switch in the driving motor circuit, so that the machine is stopped if the feeler 30 falls as the result of weft failure and thirdly an arm 32 supported by the cranked end 33 of an arm 34 except during the period of weft feed; thus weft failure will stop the machine only during that period. At the time of weft feed the arm 34, which carries a weight 35, ceases to support the arm 32, since the end of a follower 36 drops into one or other of notches 38 on a disc 37 rotated in timed relation with the machine. Between feeds, the end of the weft is held between spring-pressed grippers 19, 20, the gripper 20 being moved to release it, at the proper time, by a cam 27, acting through linkwork 26, 25, 24, 23.
