Title: Improved binding device for thick account books with removable leaves
IPC: B42F13/00
Filed: 1921-11-02
Abstract: 195,419. Taulaigo, A. Nov. 2, 1921. Post files; clamping-devices; sheets; locking- followers; locks and fastenings.-Relates to looseleaf binders of the type in which a clamping member, slidable on posts attached to a base portion, consists of two interconnected bars separated by a spring, the upper bar being provided with abutments adapted to engage with suitable abutments on the posts. These abutments are displaceable laterally or pivotally to lock the upper bar of the clamping member on the co-operating posts. In one arrangement, the posts 7 are provided with grooves 8, 9, 9<1>, Fig. 1, and the lower part 10 of the clamping member, Fig. 4, with holes 11 so that it can slide on the posts. The upper bar 13, which is separated from the bar 10 by a spring 12 and is slidable relatively thereto, is provided with keyhole slots 14, the smaller portions of which may be made to engage the grooves 8 by sliding the bar 13 endwise. The grooves 9' are for the purpose of holding the clamping member while leaves are being added or removed, and the grooves 9 are engaged by key-hole slots in a sliding-bar so as to lock the ends of the posts to a binding board in one of the covers. The base portion 1 is incorporated in a binding board in the other cover. In a modification, tongues 21, Fig. 10, on the upper bar 13 are adapted to engage slots in the posts 7. In further modifications, Figs. 15<1> and 17, a central locking post is used, and the abutments are pivotally movable on the bar 13 to engage with notches or teeth on this post. Plain filing posts are provided, with which the leaves and clamping member engage. In the arrangement shown in Fig. 15<1>, a ring 24 is rotatably mounted on the bar 13 and is provided with teeth 26 which engage toothed segments on the locking post when the ring is given a quarterturn. In the arrangement shown in Fig. 17, pawls 28 pivoted on the bar 13 engage the notches on the locking-posts. The posts are supported on the base piece 1 by screwed seatings, Fig. 2, consisting of a washer 2 and a nut 6 fitting into recesses in the base. To facilitate the opening out of the leaves, lines are scored on them, Fig. 8, the lines 20 allowing the leaves to be turned to one side and the lines 20<1> allowing them to be turned to the other side.

Patent GB-486115-A (GB)
Title: Improvements relating to automatic electrical circuit breakers
IPC: H02H11/00
Filed: 1936-10-29
Abstract: 486,115. Protective cut-out arrangements. FARRER, S., PAILIN, G., and FERGUSON PAILIN, Ltd. Oct. 29, 1936, Nos. 29471/36 and 1292/37. [Class 38 (v)] A protective arrangement, combined or operatively associated with an automatic circuit-breaker, and additional to and adapted to operate mainly independently of any usual protective gear provided, comprises a quickacting electromagnetic switch or relay device adapted to be energized only during the closing movement of the breaker and before the latter becomes latched in from a current transformer associated with the power lines in such manner that if the breaker contacts on initially touching pass a short-circuit current, the switch or relay device will operate very rapidly to cause removal of the closing force being applied to the contact. Closure of push-button or other control 10 at the panel 15 causes a relay 9 to close and energize, in parallel, the closing-coil 5 of the breaker 1 and the operating-winding 19 of the changeover switch 12. Current-transformer group 13 in the line normally supplies a burden 14, comprising for example instruments and normal protective gear, over the change-over switch contacts 17 held closed by spring 16. The winding 19, when energized, changes the connections over to contacts 20 whereby group 13 supplies the coils of a quick-acting, non-self closing relay 11 which, in fault conditions, at once opens its contacts to de-energize the coil 5 before the breaker is latched in. In Fig. 3, operation of switch 12 removes a short-circuit from coil 11 and places one around the burden 14. The change over from contacts 17 to contacts 20 may, alternatively, be effected mechanically by the moving part of the breaker 1 itself, Fig. 4 (not shown). An additional winding or quick-acting relay coil may be added to the existing trip gear of a free-handle breaker and a remote-indicator lamp may be fitted across the terminals of the relay. The invention is also applicable to hand, mechanical, and other than solenoid operation. The earlier Provisional Specification refers also to a contactor controlling the solenoid, which contactor may be closed by means of a trippable link operated by the plunger of a remote-controlled solenoid.

Arms C are reciprocated by a crank shaft B<1> driven through gearing from a shaft D carrying the driving- pulley F. Tools C<2>, C3, C<4>, carried by arms C cooperate with dies E<1>, E<4>, E2, respectively, the dies being carried in adjustable slides in the machine, and effect the operations of clipping the ends, nibbing, and punching or slitting elongated holes in the plates. A rib is formed by a tool L on a further arm C which co-operates with a die E<6>, a spring-pressed member k<1> first descending to engage the work. A shearing tool f co-operates with a die f<1> to cut the plate to length before the other operations and finally to shear the ends square or otherwise. The plate before passing to the punching &c. tools is rolled between an eccentric roll R and a true roll R<1> to draw it out in the direction of its length. A press member H co-operating with stationary members H<1>, H<2>, actuates jaws which impart a taper to the work before rolling to compensate for the alteration in width, and press it to a uniform width after rolling. Suitable stops and limit gauges are carried on the machine.
