Title: Sliver-calling unit, with stationary balling head, for single or double pin-field gill boxes for combing and drawing of textile fibres
IPC: B65H59/00
Filed: 1955-02-10
Abstract: 774,569. Forming sliver rolls. TEMATEX SOC. R. L. Feb. 10, 1955 [Dec 18, 1954], No. 3990/55. Class 120 (1). In a sliver-balling unit of a gill box, in which the balling head is stationary and the sliver is traversed axially of the ball roll 5, the sliver delivered by the draft rollers 2 of the gill box is condensed on to a freelyrotatable guide roller 3 and then travels directly to the point of tangency of the ball 5 in a substantially rectilinear path, compensation for the variation of distance between rollers 2 and roll 5 being obtained by continuous movement of roller 3 perpendicular to its axis. Between roller 3 and roll 5 the sliver passes through a false-twist trumpet 6 carried by a guide rod 9 pivoted at one end at 10 to the arbors 4 of roller 3, and at the other end at 11 to a bracket 12 which is reciprocated along a guide 13 parallel to the axis of roll 5. Thus, the axis of trumpet 6 is always maintained in line with the direction of the sliver between roller 3 and roll 5; also, as the trumpet moves towards the ends of its traverse, roller 3, which is carried on an arm pivoted at 4<SP>11</SP>, is moved downwardly towards the position 4<SP>1</SP> so as to keep constant the distance between rollers 2 and roll 5. Trumpet 6 is rotated via gearing 14 to 17, by engagement of a gear 18 on pivot pin 11 with a stationary rack 19.

Title: Racket manufacture
IPC: A63B49/10
Filed: 1975-01-30
Abstract: 1498892 Glass fibre racket STARWIN INDUSTRIES INC 30 Jan 1975 [30 Jan 1974 18 June 1974] 4183/75 Heading A6D [Also in Division B5] A racket frame is manufactured from a tubular member which is formed by winding a plurality of layers of high tensile strength binder impregnated fibres, about a mandrel, the tubular member being formed into a racket shape in a mould and the binder cured in a further mould. The mandrel comprises an elastomeric (preferably rubber) tube 30, (Fig. 2) core wires 31 and 32 and a filler member 33 on a carrier wire 34. The mandrel is mounted in a tensioning and winding apparatus (Fig. 2) for rotation by a motor 40. The mandrel is rotated and layers of binder-impregnated fibre are successively applied to it to form a tubular member 20. At least one layer has its fibres running lengthwise of the mandrel whilst there are at least three other layers which are helically wound each of unidirectional hand with successive such layers being of opposite hand. The mandrel and tubular member are removed from the winding and tensioning apparatus and the core wires 31 and 32, filler member 33 and wire 34 are removed from the tube 30. The tubular member 20 and tube 30 are formed into a racket shape in a mould 60 (Fig. 5) together with a spreader member 26 and filler piece 25 and then refrigerated. The racket frame-shaped tubular member 20, tube 30 and components 25 and 26 are then placed in a mould (Fig. 6) comprising three parts, 70, 71 and 72, together with crescent shaped strips 80, layers 81, strips 82, pieces 83 and a strip 84, all of resin-impregnated fibres. The mould parts 70 to 72 are closed and maintained at the desired curing temperature for the resin and when the tubular member 20 warms up from its previously refrigerated state and softens, the tube 30 is inflated to press the walls of the tubular member 20 against the surfaces of the mould. After an initial cure process the racket frame so formed may be removed from the mould, the tube 30 removed and any surplus material removed from the frame prior to a final cure process. During the moulding and initial cure process, a rib 77 in the mould part 72 forms a groove (for receiving loop portions of racket strings) in the tubular member 20 along a portion where said tubular member has an increased cross section perimeter due to the presence of the filler member 33 on the mandrel during the formation of the tubular member.  The moulding process may be modified (Figs. 19 to 21 not shown) to produce holes in the tubular racket frame for racket strings to pass through or alternatively said holes may be drilled in the cured racket frame after moulding. Modifications to the throat and handle portions are described (Figs. 15 to 18 not shown). Filler pieces used in the throats may be of balsa wood, resin impregnated fibres or plastics foam.

Title: Improved Device for Operating an Artificial Hand.
Inventor: TROENDLE HEINRICH
IPC: A61F2/58
Filed: 1917-03-23
Abstract: 105,907. Troendle, H. April 28, 1916, [Convention date]. Limbs, artificial.-Shoulder and body cord connexions for operating artificial hands are so arranged that no movement arises from any oscillations of the arm about the shoulder joint apart from raising and lowering. The cord a is attached to the end of a bow b, capable of sliding up and down upon a stirrup b<1> pivoted to a carrier d which is so mounted upon the shoulder that the line of pivots passes through the anatomical centre of the shoulder joint. From the bow the cord passes over pulleys c upon this line of pivots, and thence around a pulley e upon a thigh-band f. Mere rotation of the upper arm about the shoulder joint has thus no effect upon the bow, but when the shoulder is raised and lowered, the bow slides upon the stirrup and tensions or releases an operating-cord a for the hand. To the lower end of the stirrup is attached the artificial forearm (not shown).

Title: Improvements in or relating to delayed action electric switches
IPC: H01H7/02
Filed: 1958-02-10
Abstract: 862,294. Electromagnetic switches; retarding action of switches. TELEMECANIQUE ELECTRIQUE. Feb. 10, 1958 [March 7, 1957], No. 4295/58. Class 38 (5). A time-delay switching device operable by the spindle 31 of an electromagnetic contactor is in the form of a detachable unit that can be fitted to a contactor in two positions 180 degrees apart according to which direction of movement of the contactor spindle is required to operate the device. A rapid-break switch 1 has a button 3 spring loaded to bear against a protuberance 2 on a T-lever pivoted at 36 and coupled by pin 7 to a pneumatic retarder 8. When a finger 33, secured to the contactor spindle 31, moves as indicated by the arrow f 1  it impinges on the arm 5 so that the button 3 of the switch and the bellows of the retarder are depressed (a valve 9 allowing this to occur freely). When the finger 33 moves back the spring loading of switch 1 forces the protuberance 2 in the direction of arrow f 2  but the retarder 8 delays the restoration of the switch since air returns slowly to the bellows through a narrow calibrated orifice. The switch 1 and retarder assembly may be reversed in its casing 11 by removing screws 12 and 13 and reassembling (using hole 14 for screw 13) so that the above described operation occurs for the opposite movements of the finger 33, which then engages arm 4 of the T-lever (Fig. 6, not shown). The device is secured to a fixed part 20 of the contactor by means of a plate 21 on which the casing 11 is easily fitted or dismantled by virtue of a slotted bracket 24 and a tongue 22 slotted to be clamped by a screw 27. In a modification (Figs. 7, 8 and 9, not shown) the protuberance 2 is on arm 4 of the T-lever and the delay is thus applied to the opposite movement of the switch button 3.
