Title: Improvements in or relating to winding devices for sewing machines
IPC: D05B59/00
Filed: 1919-03-26
Abstract: 146,570. Vickers, Ltd., and Francis, C. E. March 26, 1919. Sewing - machines; spools, winding. - The threader winder described in Specification 145,844 is associated with a thread cutter and a thread end holder. The spool winder spindle is carried by a bracket a pivoted at B and held in winding position by a latch lever d. When that lever is pressed outwards by the mass of thread on the spool it slips off the abut. ment e and the bracket a is permitted to swing out. wards. In this movement, an arm a<3> formed on the bracket is removed from contact with a lever k and a thread lock i is thereby permitted to close on to the thread. At the same time, plates f, g on the arm a<3> strike the thread, bend it over plates f<1>, g<1> into the position shown by dotted lines, and the thread is cut by the sharpened edge of the plate f or the plate f<1>. At the commencement of a winding operation, the thread is passed round the spool and over its flanged end, and the thread end is held by a spring grip l' on a lever l. During the first revolution the which is opened and closed at the proper times by cam-pieces acting on a roller thereon. The fixed jaw is mounted on a vertical shaft rotatably mounted in the head 151 of a cam-operated lever which is operated to move the knotter into and out of the knotting position, the shaft being rotated at the proper time by bevel gearing, a pinion, and a segmental gear on the main shaft. When the knotter advances, a hooked cord-lifter 182 moves up the cord 108 into the position shown in Fig. 20, the knotter beak passing above both plies of the cord. The knotter is then turned and opened to engage the plies of cord which are received back at a projection 149 on one of the jaws. The cord is wound around the beak, and an arm 167 then disengages the end of the cord from the holder 122 and causes a cam to close the jaws. A stripper 179 is also advanced and pushes the loop around the beak off the end thereof, a portion still being held between the jaws to take off slack and form the knot. About this time, the cord between the knotter and the holder is severed by a knife 168, the end of the cord still being engaged by the holder ready for the next operation. The stripper advances beyond the end of the knotter beak and finally pulls the cord from the jaws, thus completing the knotting. thread passes into a slot c<1> cut in the spoo flange, and when the yielding movement of the lever l is arrested by a stop i<2> the thread is tautened over the sharpened edge of the slot c<1> and is severed. Either one or both edges of the slot c<1> is sharpened and a slot is cut in each flange of the thread spool. When the winder is driven by contact with the machine belt, the devices are arranged on one mounting pivoted about the pin B.

Title: Improvements in and relating to machines for cutting concentric tubes from a tree trunk
IPC: B23B51/04
Filed: 1928-03-12
Abstract: 294,457. Kleinholz, H. March 12, 1928. Drilling-machines; cutters. - A machine for cutting concentric tubes out of a tree trunk comprises a rotary face-plate b to which the trunk c is attached and a slide e carrying a non- rotary sleeve f provided at the forward end with an annular cutter head g. The trunk is first turned externally to the required diameter of the outer tube and is steadied by a support d during its rotation. The cutter head g comprises four cutters i, k, m, n, Fig. 2, of which the first has an end-cutting action and also operates on the interior surface of the tube being cut, the second acts on the exterior of the core o, Fig. 4, the third removes the annular shell of debris, whilst the last takes a finishing cut on both sides. The cutters are secured in dovetailed radial slots in the head g. The sleeve f is guided by a member h and is supported on the slide e by a member q which is provided with an annular recess q<1>, Fig. 4, connected by flexible pipes s to a compressed-air reservoir t. Pipes p leading from the recess q<1> along the exterior of the sleeve supply air to the cutters for cooling and removing debris. Additional external pipes r, Fig. 1, lead from the recess to a point mid-way in the length of the sleeve and direct compressed air rearwardly when the cutters have penetrated a considerable depth into the work. Another pipe s<1> leads to the rear closed end of the sleeve and supplies air to the annular space between the sleeve and the core o to prevent the accumulation of debris therein. Further external pipes v, Figs. 1 and 4, supply air to the annular space and are used alternatively with the pipe s'.

Filed: 1972-02-18
Abstract: 1375588 Calculator SUWA SEIKOSHA KK 18 Feb 1972 [22 Feb 1971] 7641/72 Heading G4A A calculator includes a decimal calculating device and a means arranged to control the calculating device so that it performs selectively pure decimal, and mixed senary and decimal calculations, the means including a device arranged selectively to add and subtract 4 from the result of a decimal calculation to convert the calculation two senary. The calculator includes a convention four bit BCD two stage decimal adder 8 in which filler bits 0110 are used to produce a decimal result. The calculator is used to add and subtract time values expressed in hours, minutes, and seconds where senary operation is required in the tens order of seconds and minutes. Gates 10 and 20 generate signals when the output of the decimal calculator is greater than or equal to six and these signals are clocked into flip-flops 30, 40 at times appropriate to the tens order of seconds and minutes. The output of gate 80 causes filler bits 0100 to be supplied to adder 8 when appropriate to convert the decimal output to senary. A switch is provided to rest flip-flop 70 and disable gate 80 to allow pure decimal calculations to be performed. Multiplication and division are said to be performed by repeated addition and subtraction. A time mechanism and a keyboard may be provided to enter time values into the calculator and a printer may be provided to print the result of, e.g. time x charge/ unit time calculations. Specifications 1,370,981, 1,370,982, 1,370,983, 1370984, and 1,370,985 are referred to.
