Title: Control system for cranes
Inventor: DURRANT RAYMOND JAMES
IPC: B66C13/22
Filed: 1964-08-11
Abstract: 1,044,569. Controlling electrically-operated ]ib-cranes. RANSOMES & RAPIER Ltd. Aug. 10, 1965 [Aug. 11, 1964], No. 32678/64. Heading B8B. [Also in Division H2] A jib-crane in which electric motors raise the load and luff and slew the jib has contactors for the motors controlled by manuallyoperated switches and a compound-wound generator driven by an internal-combustion engine for supplying electric power. The engine has a device for controlling its speed and hence the generated voltage, and the generator has a voltage responsive relay which prevents the manually-operated switches actuating the contactors when the voltage exceeds a predetermined value. If a manual switch is operated when the generator voltage is too high, a relay switches a resistance into the field circuit of the generator to lower the voltage, whereupon the voltage responsive relay becomes inoperative and the appropriate contactor is operated by the manually-operated switch. Fig. 1 shows a circuit diagram of the control system.

Abstract: 365,125. Galvanic batteries. DRUMM, J. J., University College, and CELIA, Ltd., 42, Stephen's Green, both in Dublin. July 17, 1930, No. 32825/29. [Class 53.] An accumulator in which zinc is deposited during charge from an alkaline electrolyte and dissolved on discharge is provided with a negative electrode consisting of nickel, nickel-plated iron or of monel metal in the form of gauze, perforated or corrugated plate, expanded sheet, &c. The edges of the gauze &c. are clamped in a nickel-plated steel grid which may be covered with ebonite. The negative plate is prepared for the reception of the zinc coating by making it the cathode in an electrolytic bath of caustic potash. A current is passed through the solution for about twenty hours, but the time may be shortened by dissolving zinc oxide in the potash solution. As soon as zinc commences to be deposited on the gauze, the latter is removed and dipped in a solution of potassium mercuric cyanide or sulphocyanide. The positive electrode comprises oxide of nickel or silver or both as described in Specification 335,587, [Class 53, Galvanic batteries], together with graphite, packed into perforated nickeled steel pockets which may also contain nickel threads or gauze. The filled and closed pockets are fitted in a nickeled steel frame or grid. Alternatively the active material may be contained in nickeled steel tubes. If a grid is used it may be covered with a nickel-plated silver strip to prevent excessive voltage drop between the upper and lower ends of the grid. The polepieces of the battery may be made of iron the conductivity of which may be increased by the insertion of copper cores. The electrolyte consists of caustic potash containing zinc oxide with or without hydrate of aluminium or beryllium. The casing of the battery is of nickel-plate steel, rustless steel or monel metal.

Abstract: 1,002,406. Concentrating alkaline liquors ; film evaporators. H. C. H. BERTRAMS A.G. Aug. 20, 1963 [Aug. 20, 1962 (2)], No. 32898/63. Heading B1B. Solutions of sodium hydroxide or potassium hydroxide are concentrated by introducing the liquor through pipe 4 into an evaporator where the liquor flows through apertures la in the upper ends of vertical tubes 1, each of which is surrounded by a heating-jacket 12, so that the liquor flows down the hot inner walls of the tubes in the form of cylindrical films. Heating-medium at a temperature of about 480 ‹C., e.g. a molten mixture of NaNO 2 , NaNO 3 , and KNO 3 , is introduced into the jackets 12 through line 14, and is withdrawn through line 13. Vapours are evolved from the downflowing films of liquor, and these films are stabilized by helical elements 7, mounted on axial rods 6 in the tubes, which cause particles of liquor, entrained in the vapours, to return to the inner walls of the tubes. The concentrated liquor and the vapours flow out of the lower ends of the tubes into tub 2. The concentrated liquor leaves the apparatus via overflow receptacle 9 ; and the vapours flow out through separator 10. If desired the liquor can be completely dehydrated by the evaporation, and in this case the evaporator may be associated with a flaking machine for the solidified product. The diameter of the tubes 1 is about 8-10 cms., while the tube-length is about 3 metres.

Filed: 1964-08-12
Abstract: 1,074,792. Welding by pressure. TEXAS INSTRUMENTS Inc. Aug. 12, 1964 [Aug. 14, 1963], No. 32935/64. Heading B3R. [Also in Divisions G3 and H2] Resistance-welding apparatus comprises two welding electrodes 77 arranged side by side which are clamped in holders 81 secured to members 35 slidable on a guide post 25 so that the welding electrodes 77 may be lowered on to, or raised from, a workpiece placed on a work-table 3, the arrangement being such that the spacing between the electrodes 77 is adjustable by means of a control knob 47, a compensating beam with rounded heads 71 being provided to allow the electrodes to be impressed on a workpiece having different thicknesses. Movement of the electrodes is effected by means of a foot pedal 109, movement of which causes pressure to be developed in an hydraulic line 145 between the pedal assembly 105 and the welding apparatus 5. The hydraulic pressure causes downward movement of a piston 13 in a cylinder 11 whereby the electrodes 77 move into contact with the workpiece through the operation on the slidable members 35 of a piston-rod 17 and brackets 21. When the electrodes 77 contact the workpiece, thus preventing further downward movement of the piston 13 the cylinder 11 moves upwardly until, when the pressure of the electrodes on the workpiece attains a value set by a control member 153 in conjunction with a gear train 157 and a threaded post 155, the head 147 of the cylinder 11 moves a lever 161 upwardly to operate a switch 173 to produce a welding current pulse (see Divisions G3, H2) across the welding electrodes 77. A pressure relief valve 137, 139, is provided on the foot pedal assembly. Application No. 2276/67, which has been divided out of this application, contains claims which relate to the pre-weld control aspect of the system.

Class 117 The arrangement described in the parent Specification is modified in that the agglomerates are moved by a magnet or magnets the poles of which lie in a circle or helix. In Fig. 1, magnets 13 which rotate in the direction shown cause clusters 14 of magnetic particles to be formed from the material 11 being treated. Air or other gas, which may be heated, enters the duct in which the clusters are formed and assists in removing the weakly magnetic particles from the clusters, these particles then passing from the machine at 17; the strongly magnetic particles leave at 18. The duct comprises a wall 15 of non-magnetic material and a member 16 of a magnetic material. A further embodiment, Fig. 2, includes a rotatable magnet 21 which forms clusters 22 of magnetic material and draws them along the inside of the upper surface of a tapering non-magnetic duct 20. A magnetic member 23 forms a return path for the magnetic field, and the separated particles leave the duct at 24, 25 respectively. In Fig. 4, the starting material passes from a hopper 26 into a rotating drum 28 and is acted on by a helical magnet 29, the strongly magnetic material travelling along the drum towards a shoot 30. The weakly magnetic material is discharged at 31 due to the tilt of the drum. A rotating magnetic field may be used in place of rotating magnets and the rotating drum may be replaced by pneumatic means for activating the material. The surface along which the clusters are drawn may be roughtened or undulating.
