Abstract: 1381865 Spinneret for conjugate filaments IMPERIAL CHEMICAL INDUSTRIES Ltd 4 April 1972 [20 April 1971] 10039/71 Heading B5B In a spinneret for the melt-spinning of sheath/ core conjugate filaments, a spinneret plate 1 has a number of spinneret orifices 2, communicating by way of lead-in cone 3 with confined space 4. A first entry aperture 5 communicates with space 4, and, by way of connecting passageway 6, with a central molten polymer feed duct 7 formed in a distributer 8 fed by feed pipe 18. A second feed aperture 9 situated to one side of the first aperture 5, communicates with the confined space 4, and, by way of a connecting passageway 10, with one of two outer molten polymer feed ducts 11, formed partly from spinneret plate 1 and partly from the distributer 8. The mode of operation is shown in Fig. 9, the second polymer enters the confined space at a point at its upstream end where it is widened, so as to form a thin sheet, the width of which exceeds the width of the confined space at the level of entry. Detailed construction of the spinneret is shown in Figs. 2-8 (not shown). The apparatus is especially suitable for the melt spinning of sheath-core conjugate filaments of which each of the components is a polyester, a polyamide or a polyolefin, and leads to the production of very eccentric sheath/core filaments. The production of polyethylene terephthalate filaments is exemplified.

Title: Improvements in disc brakes
Inventor: THOMPSON GEORGE ERIC
IPC: F16D65/14
Filed: 1963-03-14
Abstract: 987,648. Disc brakes. GIRLING Ltd. Feb. 21, 1964 [March 14, 1963], No. 10109/63. Heading F2E. In a disc brake of the kind in which relatively stationary and rotatable surfaces are brought into frictional engagement by axial separation of a pair of co-operating pressure plates 17, 18 between which are arranged balls 19 working in complementary inclined ramps in the adjacent surfaces of the plates, the relative angular movement of the pressure plates to initiate application of the brake is effected by a lever 26 pivotally mounted on a lug 24 of one of the pressure plates 18 and a nose 27 of the lever 26 bears on an abutment formed by a notch 28 on the other pressure plate 17. In the embodiment illustrated, a shaft 10 is rotatably mounted in a stationary housing 11 and two axially spaced friction lined discs 12, 13 are splined on the shaft 10. The discs 12, 13 are adapted to be urged apart into frictional engagement with axially spaced radial braking surfaces 15, 16 on the housing by the co-operating pressure plates 17, 18 located between the disc. The pressure plates are located concentrically with respect to the axis of the brake by angularly spaced pilot projections 21, 22 on the housing co-operating with arcuate portions of the peripheral surfaces of the plates and by a third projection 23 which also serves as a stop co-operating with lugs on the pressure plates to arrest angular movement of one or other of the plates according to the direction of rotation of the discs. Instead of providing balls operating in inclined ramps, tapered rollers and wedges, rocking tappets or other means for urging the plates apart on relative angular movement between them may be used.

Title: Apparatus controlling the mechanism throwing clay targets in ball traps
IPC: F41J9/18
Filed: 1970-03-03
Abstract: 1307534 Clay pigeon throwing device P LAPORTE 3 March 1970 [6 March 1969 6 Aug 1969] 10225/70 Heading A6D A clay pigeon throwing device comprises a frame 2 rotatably carrying a turret 6, 7 which in turn carries a tiltable support T of a spring R, powered throwing arm B and has means for adjusting the angular position of the turret, the support T's inclination (e.g. by cranks and levers 29-31), and the spring R's tension (e.g. by cranks and levers 22-24) and at least one motor for driving the adjustment means. A sweep member (e.g. a contact) 34 is activated by the operation of the adjustment means to move in registry with a series of spaced switching devices (e.g. micro switches C 1 .. C n ) each of which is connected to a multiple position switch G which can be set to connect a selected switching device into an electric circuit (e.g. including relay H), the arrangement being such that, when the sweep member 34 registers with the selected switching device, the circuit is activated to switch off the motors (and hence stop the adjustment means). An operator may then actuate the throwing arm B. Movement of an arm 37 on the switch G to another contact re-activates the motors until the sweep member 34 registers with the next selected switching device C n . As shown, one motor M is fixed to the turret and drives a gear 11 engaging a fixed, toothed crown 12 to rotate the turret. A further gear 25 meshes with the crown 12 to operate the adjustment means for both the spring R and the support T. Alternatively, Figs. 4 and 5 (not shown), a separate motor may drive each adjustment means, a separate series of switching devices, sweep members and multiple position switches being provided for each motor. The switching devices may form a complete circle or, as shown, an arc, the motor sweeping the sweep arm 34 back and forth along the arc. The switching devices may be electromagnets or photocells, Figs. 6 and 7 (not shown) and may be adjustable in position. The cranks and levers 22-24, 29-31 are adjustable in length.

The motor is controlled by a pair of hand-operated switches in circuit with a relay for reversing the motor. The chain carries two contacts 17, which coact with two push switches to open the motor circuit when the window &c. is at either extreme position. An electric circuit is described.

Title: Improvements relating to centrifugal hydro-extractors and the like
IPC: D06F49/00
Filed: 1932-04-11
Abstract: 396,863. Centrifugal machines. CLAPHAM, E. L., The Southdown Laundry, Ltd., Kingston Road, Raynes Park, London. April 11, 1932, No. 10312. [Class 23.] The cover C of a centrifugal extractor H or the like is locked by a spring operated bolt b which can be withdrawn by means of a handle d operating through a trigger device which is tripped constantly while the cage is rotating so that the movement of the handle is rendered ineffective unless the machine is at rest. A bracket adjacent the hinge of the cover C supports a base plate s carrying three rods a, b, c parallel to the hinge pin. The rod c carries the handle d and slides axially in the locking rod b ; it is returned to its normal position by a spring. The rod b engages the flat underside of a cam b<2> projecting from the hinge at right-angles to the cover. A stud m projects from the rod c and passes , freely through slots in the rod 5 to engage triggers or pawls k, l pivoted to the bolt and base plate lugs respectively. The control spindle a has arms p, q, r ; the first p carries a roller n to engage the stud m, the second q engages the tails of the triggers k, l and the third r is connected by the rod v to the cam u which is rotated by the pulley P from the machine. While the machine is rotating, the arm r is oscillated bv the cam u so that the connection between the handle d and locking bolt b is continually broken by the movement of the detent k. When the machine is stopped the bolt can be pulled back until the detent l slips over the stud m. On re-starting the machine the detent l is lifted by the movement of the arm r and the spring e moves the bolt b to its locking position. The bolt mechanism may be interlocked with the belt shifting mechanism so that the operating fork F is locked with the belt on the loose pulley when the machine cover is open.
