Title: Machines for manufacturing electromagnetic deflection coils
IPC: H01J9/236
Filed: 1975-04-25
Abstract: 1469207 Making deflection coils V T ALENTSEVICHJUS and J J BAIKAUSKAS 25 April 1975 17196/75 Heading B3A A deflection coil of a cathode ray tube is made on a machine comprising a two-part mandrel 30, one part, 31, of which is mounted on a driving spindle 3 for axial movement therealong and the other part 31<SP>1</SP> of which is rigidly mounted on a driven spindle 4, and means 13 and 45 for shaping respective sides of the wound coil. Shaping elements 13 are secured to a disc 9 rigid with the spindle 3 and the mandrel part 31 is rigid with a disc 10 which is axially movable along the spindle 3, angularly located by pins 11  and urged away from the disc 9 by springs 12. Slots (17), Fig. 2 (not shown), in the disc 10 allow the elements 13 to pass through. A ring 18, mounted on the disc 10 by pins 20 located in arcuate slots (19<SP>1</SP>), Fig. 2, is urged by a spring 22 to the position shown in Fig. 1 in which pins 19 abut the disc 9. To allow relative axial movement between discs 9 and 10, during shaping, a lever (26), Fig. 2, engaging a pin 19 is pneumatically actuated to rotate the ring 18 to a position in which the pins 19 can enter holes 19A in the disc 9. The shaping elements 45 are mounted on a disc 43 slidable along the spindle 4 against the action of a spring 44<SP>1</SP> by a pneumatic drive 42 via a clutch 50. The mandrel part 31<SP>1</SP> is rigid with a disc 32 integral with the spindle 4 which is axially movable by a pneumatic piston 7. In operation, wire is clamped to the disc 10 at 56. The spindle 4 is advanced by piston 7 to the Fig. 1 position in which the mandrel parts are interengaged and the spindle 3 is then rotated according to a control programme to wind a coil. A locking member 34 is pivoted by an electromagnetic drive 36 to engage notches 40 in the discs 9, 10 and 32 for the shaping steps. The coil is heated via the clamp 56, contact ring 57 and electric brush 59. The ring 18 is turned by lever (26) to align the pins 19 with holes 19A. The piston 7 is actuated to move the spindle 4, mandrel 30 and disc 10 to the left, Fig. 1, causing the shaping elements 13 to pass through the slits 17 and act on the left-hand side of the coil. Simultaneously the disc 32 actuates a slide spool 55 of a valve 54 causing air to be supplied to the drive 42 of the disc 43 and the shaping elements 45 are pressed into the righthand side of the coil. After shaping, the piston 7 is returned which separates the mandrel parts for removal of the finished coil. The springs 12 and 22 return the disc 10 and ring 18 respectively and disengagement of the disc 32 from the valve spool 55 allows the spring 44<SP>1</SP> to return the shaping elements 45.

Abstract: 1366826 Feeding and collating biscuits SIG SCHWEIZERISCHE INDUSTRIE GES 14 April 1972 [16 April 1971] 17210/72 Heading B8R Biscuits B, Fig. 1, are fed from an oven by way of channels K 1 , K 2 , K 3  to shoots S 1 , S 2 , S 3  in which they form piles, from the bottom of which one or more biscuits are separated at a time by a pusher 11 so as to be deposited on elements Q of a transverse conveyer, which moves intermittently so that each element Q is aligned with each shoot in turn. At each stroke of the pusher, the same number of biscuits is separated from each pile. In the arrangement of Fig. 1, one biscuit is separated at the first and third strokes and two at the second stroke, so that each batch collected on an element Q consists of four biscutes from three channels. In the form of Fig. 2, fourteen buscuits are delivered from ten channels for each batch, The pusher 11 is reciprocated under the control of a cam disc 21, and at the same time lowering fingers 28 are oscillated under the control of a cam disc 43 so as to be raised into contact with the bottom of each shoot after each working stroke of the pusher, and be lowered into the position of Fig. 2 to allow two biscuits to be separated, or into a position to allow one biscuit to be separated, before the next working stroke of the pusher, the discs 21, 43 rotating in synchronism. A further cam disc 51 is rotated from the shaft carrying the discs 21, 43 at one tenth of the speed of the discs 21, 43, and is provided with four high portions U 1 , U 4 , U 7 , U 9  and six low portions. When a follower roller 54 on a locking lever 52 engages a high portion, two biscuits are separated as shown, but when the roller engages a low portion, a pawl 44 limits the fall of the fingers 28 to the one-biscuit position. In the form of Fig. 6, three cam discs 51, 51a, 51b are provided, for delivering fourteen, fifteen or thirteen biscuits respectively. Each disc is associated with a locking lever 52, 52a or 54b. A shaft 59 carries control cams 60, 60a, 60b having flattened portions 64, 64a, 64b, a control cam 61, and a selector knob 62. When the knob 62 is set to "13", "15" or "14", the flattened portion of the corresponding cam allows operational movement of the corresponding locking lever, the other two locking levers being held inoperative by the other two cams. When the knob is set to "0", the cam 61 holds the fingers 28 in their raised positions to prevent separation of any biscuits. In another form, the fingers 28 can be lowered to allow separation of more than two biscuits. When the fingers 28 are lowered, a holder 66 may be pressed against the pile to relieve the weight thereof on the bottommost biscuits. The elements Q may alternatively be advanced only after two piston strokes.

Abstract: 650,422. Testing materials. UNITED AIRCRAFT CORPORATION. Sept. 8, 1944, No. 17232. Convention date, Nov. 20, 1943. Addition to 641,461. [Class 118 (ii)] [Also in Group XL (b)] In the interior inspection of solid elastic material by means of ultrasonic mechanical waves, using a wave generator as described in the parent Specification, the operative surface of the generator is attached to the material by means capable of transmitting shear stress. Thus, by rigidly securing a " Y-cut " quartz crystal 10 to a surface of the material 12 by means, e.g. of shellac, plaster of Paris, or a highly viscous oil or oil-molasses mixture 61, Fig. 7, the '' pure shear " vibrations of the crystal described in the above-mentioned Specification are modified into " simple shear " vibrations (Fig. 4), whereby shear waves are propagated vertically downwards (Fig. 7), the direction of displacement of the material particles being horizontal and perpendicular to the Z axis of the crystal. A lead ring 11 may surround the crystal to absorb random surface waves. Internal stresses or other conditions resulting in elastic aeolotropy of the material under test may be observed by comparing the echo time of shear waves propagated in the same direction but having different directions of particle displacement. For use on curved surfaces, the crystal may be ground to fit, the mounting (see Group XL (b)) being modified accordingly. Specifications 569,858 and 641,095 are referred to.

The push button unit and the potentiometer arrangement 2 with a channel indicator 59, 60, form two separate unitary structures which are adapted to be assembled together and the shaft 5 have toothed rollers 6 which connect via gears 53 with the potentiometer spindles 55 to adjust the tuning. The potentiometer arrangement 2 is secured by straps 75 (Fig. 7) and twisted lugs 76 to the chassis of the push button unit. By rotating sleeve 1 the required cam 31 (see also Fig. 10, not shown) is selected and a ball catch 19 in a resilient plastics stop disc 17 holds the selected rotary position of the sleeve 1. A resilient hooked ring 22 retains the stop disc 17 rotatably in a face plate 21. When the shaft 5 and sleeve 1 of the button are pressed in surface 26 causes stopping and release bar 7 to slide transversely against a spring (28, Fig. 6, not shown), to release a previously pressed button and rim 27 engages the bar 7 which holds the sleeve 1 in. Spring 51 returns the shaft 5 even though the sleeve 1 is held in by the bar 7 and rim 27, so that the channel may be adjusted by driving the potentiometer via gear wheel 53 and the toothed roller 6 when the adjusting shaft 5 is rotated. Contacts 34 of the selected potentiometer 2 are switched by rim 32 and cam 31 moves the rocker 8 and contact slider 43 of a wave range switch 3 which may be of printed circuit construction. The channel set by the potentiometer 2 which may have a linear or logarthmic characteristic may be used to effect tuning via a variable capacitance diode. Indicator A pin 58 (Fig. 7) of the sliding contact of the potentiometer 2 engages in a groove 69 of a pointer lever 59 to indicate by a pointer 60 the channel selected by means of a channel indicator window 62. The pointer co-operates with a channel indicating scale 61 having teeth (66, Fig. 11, not shown) which engage grooves (15, Figs. 2, 3 and 10 not shown) in the sleeve 1 so that different scale is brought into view at window 62 in accordance with the rotary position of the sleeve 1. The mechanical indicator may be replaced by an electrical measuring instrument.
