Title: Record changer for phonograph
Filed: 1947-09-04
Abstract: 641,449. Magazine gramophones. AMI, Inc. Sept. 4, 1947, No. 24399. Convention date, Oct. 10, 1946. [Class 40 (ii)] In a magazine gramophone of the type described in Specification 641,441, in which records are lifted edgeways from the magazine by grippers on an arcuate arm for placing either way up on the turntable, the resulting variations of the position of the grippers, according to the size of the record, serves to set the tone arm automatically at the appropriate starting position on the record. The inner and outer grippers 59 and 65, respectively, Fig. 4, are controlled by a cam 54, Fig. 13, through a bell-crank lever 55, a member 98 having racks 110, 111, a cluster pinion 57, Fig. 4, and rack 58 on the inner gripper 59, motion being transmitted to the outer gripper 65 by means of racks 61, 63 on the gripper arms 60, 64 respectively, and a pinion 62 mounted at a fixed point 129 in the gripper arm support 128. When the bell-crank lever 55 is lowered by the cam 54, the said lever is moved outwardly by the spring 67 until the grippers 59, 65 are arrested by the edge of the record. The resulting longitudinal position of the member 98 is an indication of the size of the record being gripped. A bracket 144, Fig. 14, fixed to the upright post 72, carries a lever 141 pivoted at a point 145 in the bracket 144. The pick-up arm 24 is carried by, and frictionally coupled to a shaft 158 whose rotation is controlled by a groove in a cam 153 which engages a pin 154 on a disc 152 fixed to the shaft 158. At the end of an outward swing of the pick-up arm 24, its motion is arrested by a stop member 166 so that its position relative to the shaft 158 is correct for setting down at the edge of a 10 inch record. When a 10 inch record is gripped by the grippers 59, 65, the member 94 moves out far enough for a pin 140 thereon to come into contact with the upper surface-of the lever 141 so that the outer end is lifted clear of the plate 142 on the pick-up arm 24 which is thus permitted to be moved inwards to the starting position for a 10 inch record. In the event of a 12 inch record being gripped, the member 94 is not moved outwardly sufficiently to lift the outer end of the lever 141 clear of the plate 142 on the pickup arm 24 which is then held back in a position in which it can be lowered on to the edge of a 12 inch record. The direction of rotation of the sleeves 18, 125 carrying record gripping arm 128 is determined by the position of a member 172, Fig. 13, which is movable to the right or left according to which side of the record is to be played. A projection 69, Fig. 4, on the sleeve 18 extends into the slot 173, Fig. 13, of a fixed arcuate member 171, so that when the record carrying arm 128 is swung towards and away from the turntable it is rotated clockwise or counterclockwise about the axis of the sleeves 18, 125 when the projection 69 enters the branch slots 174 or 175, respectively.

Class 36 Cables are led through a bulkhead in a watertight manner by means of a cable box through which the cables pass, the end walls of the box being formed of a self-hardening plastic or kneadable material such as polyester resin or cement, the box being filled with a castable resin which is introduced into the box in liquid form and then changes into a non-thermoplastic state. The material of the end walls and the castable resin may both be activated to promote hardening, and the resin may contain fillers. The Figures show a box which may be forcefilled and comprises a sloping top containing a vent valve 1 and a bottom containing an injector socket 2. The side walls are extended and slotted at 3 to receive flat bars 4 for temporarily supporting the cables 5. The activated kneadable composition is introduced into both ends up to the level of the lower layer of cable and the lower flat bars withdrawn, so that the lower layer of cables sinks into the composition is embedded therein. More kneadable composition is applied up to the next cable layer and the process repeated until the ends are completely filled with composition. The liquid castable resin is then introduced into the box where it is confined by the end walls. In a modification adapted for hand filling, the box is inverted and provided with a pair of filling apertures in its flat top, removable slotted members for receiving the flat bars being applied to the two ends.

Abstract: 355,027. Bending tubes. BRITISH TUBE MILLS, Ltd. and PARDOE, F., Cornwall Road, Smethwick, near Birming- ham. Aug. 16, 1930, No. 24567. [Classes 83 (ii) and 83 (iv).] Mandrels ; rolling annular bodies; rolling- mandrels.-In bending tubes by an apparatus of the type comprising an internal mandrel over which the tube is drawn by a rotatable former to which the tube is clamped, the outer side of the tube that forms the outer wall of the bend, is subjected at a position slightly in advance of the bending point, by rotation of the mandrel, to a continuous longitudinal reducing, spinning or rolling action so as to reduce the thickness and increase the length of the outer wall of the bend without stretching and thus to enable bends of small radius to be effected. The tube 12 is passed over the mandrel 5 and is secured by a cam-operated clamp 13 to a former 1 rotated on an axis 3 by hand or by power through worm gear. The former and a rear abutment block 15 are mounted in slides 17, 18 adjustable by a right- and left-handed screw 19. These slides are also mounted on a second transverse slide 20 to centre them laterally with respect to the mandrel. This slide is mounted on a slide 21 adjustable by a screw 23 on a bracket 22 so as to vary the position of the bend, the bracket 22 being also vertically adjustable. The mandrel, which is secured to a power-driven shaft 6 with its outward end slightly in advance of the point of bend, is provided with a roller head, the rollers 26 having grooved ends 34. By the action of the rollers the metal is thinned longitudinally and extended on the outer wall of the bend. Any metal which flows rearwardly forms a rib 36 which is caused to travel to the end of the tube by forcibly drawing the bent tube off the rotating mandrel.
