Title: Improvements in axle-boxes for adjustable locomotive axles
IPC: B61F15/04
Filed: 1920-05-27
Abstract: 143,887. Ateliers Metallurgiques, Soc. Anon., and Lefebvre, P. F. L. May 18, 1918, [Convention date]. Axle-bearing guiding-arrangements.-Relates to guides for locomotive axle boxes permitting of lateral or lateral and radial adjustment of the axle for negotiating curves of the type wherein the weight is supported by links pivoted to the axle boxes and the axle is returned to its normal position by gravity. The box A, Fig. 1, carries on its front and rear faces pins B on which are pivoted links C, carrying pins D engaging recesses in rods F located between the box and the guide G. The rods F are pivoted to a rocking lever H connected to the spring J which may be either above or below the axle. On the axle being displaced laterally, the links C swing round the pins B raising the rods F, lever H, spring J, and main frame, the weight of which serves to return the axle at the end of the curve. In a modification in which the lateral movement of the axle is accompanied by a radial adjustment, the boxes A<1>, Fig. 6, carrying the brasses are pivoted on vertical axes KL in outer boxes A<2>, sliding in guides G' and connected by links C' to vertical rods F<1>. The rods F<1> are connected to a rocking lever H<1> to which is pivoted a second rocking lever H<2>, which is spring-loaded, directly or through the lever H<3> in conjunction with an adjacent axle.

Abstract: 1393342 Reserve batteries SILBERKRAFT LEICHTAKKUMULATOREN GmbH 26 March 1973 [29 March 1972] 14502/73 Heading H1B A battery comprises a plurality of button cells 7 stacked in a casing 1, each cell being provided with precharged electrodes 32, 34 which are to be activated by introduction of electrolyte and with an electrolyte-containing vessel 35 disposed below a diaphragm cover 37 for the cell, the battery including means for applying pressure to the diaphragm covers 37 to break vessels 35. As shown annular spacers 8 provide shoulders supporting the individual cells and have aligned pairs of webs 11 providing a duct 13 connected to a source of pneumatic or hydraulic pressure. The duct 13 is completed by a longitudinally extending cover member (12), (Fig. 3, not shown) and transverse ducts 14 lead through each spacer into the enclosed space above the diaphragm covers. Duct 13 communicates with a chamber 21 as the top of the battery casing containing a substance which will produce gas, e.g. on ignition electrically, the gas acting directly on the diaphragm covers 37. Alternatively the gas may act on liquid contained in the ducts or a gas cartridge may be employed. The cells are preferably those forming the subject of Specification 1,393,341.

Abstract: 875,216. Railway vehicle draw gear. BUCKEYE STEEL CASTINGS CO. April 28, 1959 [July 22, 1958], No. 14528/59. Class 103(5). A railway vehicle draw bar 14, Fig. 3 which may angle vertically and horizontally, rests on a box shaped carrier member 28 spring supported on an abutment carrier member plate 41 located on a horizontal chamfered plate 18 forming part of a striker 9. The members 28 and 41 are provided with hooks which are engaged by swing links 61, 62 to precompress the springs 58 and limit the upward movement of the member 28, and the carrier as a whole rests in the trough formed between front and rear guide walls 16, 17, Fig. 2, of the striker 9. The hooks 37, 38, 52 and 54 are curved in two transverse planes as shown in Figs. 3 and 4 so that the member 28 may roll slightly under the draw bar 14 about the hooks and links. Shims may be applied between the member 41 and the plate 18 when it is desired to support the draw bar 14 at a higher level, and the carrier member 28 which may move laterally within the clearance provided by the opening 12 in the striker, is limited in upward movement by abutment plates on the striker. In a modification, Figs. 7 and 8 (not shown) the plate 41 is formed integrally with a bottom wall of the striker, and bolts or cotter keys are provided between the front and rear walls of the striker to prevent the links from disengaging the hooks.

Abstract: 1,132,917. Document processing. N. GOLDSTERN. 30 March, 1967 [31 March, 1966; 7 Dec., 1966], No. 14543/67. Heading G4M. The lateral alignment of a document approaching a sensing station is investigated by a pair of photo-cells 15, 16, Fig. 3, which are normally aligned with control holes 23, 24 on the document, the difference in output in the photocells 15, 16 being derived from a potentiometer 40 and controlling a solenoid or servo-mechanism 19 to adjust the position of a conveyer section 21 relative to the sensing station. The document path also includes a first orientationsensing station comprising a pair of photo-cells (5, 6), Fig. 2a (not shown), aligned with control holes 13, 14, Fig. 26, which when simultaneously illuminated divert the document along a secondary path loop in which the document is rotated by 180 degrees. A second orientationsensing station C precedes the data-sensing station D. Between documents, AND gate 28 is enabled by photo-cells 26, 27 to inhibit gates 31, 32. If the orientation of a document at station C is such that photo-cells 25 and 26 are uncovered by holes 13, 14 a decoding circuit 35 is enabled via AND gate 29 and OR gate 34. If the document orientation is reversed, photo-cells 25, 27 are uncovered and " mirror image " decoding takes place. The output of decoder 35 may control sorting flaps.

Title: Synchronous motor clock
IPC: G04C21/10
Filed: 1932-05-24
Abstract: 392,741. Electric clocks. BERTSCH, H., 12, Kronenstrasse, Schwenningen-on- Nechar, Wurtemberg, Germany. May 24, 1932, No. 14692. [Class 139.] Striking - mechanism.-In a synchronousmotor clock, the motor which directly drives the motion work also directly drives striking mechanism (or mechanisms) when the latter is released. The pinion M of the motor, which is of a known type of construction, drives (1) gearing I, II, III to the minute arbor MZ, (2) gearing M1, 5 to the quarter locking plate S of the quarter-striking means, wheel 5 being on a rocking arm W2 and (3) gearing M2, 4, N, Sch, to the hour-striking means, wheel 4 being on a rocking arm W1. As the star wheel A on minute arbor MZ, Fig. 3, rotates clockwise, bar K moves counterclockwise and raises a lever H pivoted at H2 so that the lug L on lever H (Fig. 8) moves into the path of a pin S1 on the arm W2. Pin S2 on lever H raises lever H1 (pivoted at H3) which is rigid with locking arm B ; at the same time a second pin S3 on lever H lifts a pawl K1 on to a fixed pin S4. to prevent premature lowering of levers H1, B. The locking arm B releases a pin S5 on arm W2, but the latter is still held since its pin S1 is obstructed by lug L. Subsequently star A permits lever H to fall and remove lug L so that arm W2 is now free to move and enmesh wheel 5, whereby the motor drives the locking plate S. A pin S6 on lever H1 (Fig. 7) coacts with plate S to maintain arm B whilst the pawl K1 falls ; since pin S3 has been lowered. Plate S rotates until the pin S6 falls into a notch of the plate so that lever H1 and arm B fall, the latter engaging pin S5 and disengaging the wheel 5. Hour striking is effected by the high cam part of plate S. This raises lever H1 to such a height that it raises latch F to release rack R and arm W1. The latter is still held, however, by its pin S7 which is obstructed by a lug L1 on lever H1. When, subsequently, pin S6 falls off the high cam of plate S, lug L1 is lowered and arm W1 is free to move and enmesh wheel 4 which is then driven by the motor. The gearing also rotates member Sch to restore the rack R in the usual manner.

Class 145 [Also in Group XI] A method of shaping wood comprises heating moisture-laden wood rapidly in a high-frequency electric field, bending the heated wood into a desired shape and then subjecting the wood to a less intense field for a period of time necessary to stabilize the shaping and reduce the moisture content of the wood to 8 per cent to 10 per cent. The initial moisture content of the wood may be between 30 per cent and 45 per cent and the power applied for rapid heating may be 50 k.W. per cu. ft. to raise the temperature of the wood to 90‹-100‹C in a few minutes, the subsequent less intense heating being carried out at 8 k.W. per cu. ft. for a few hours. The electrodes for establishing the high-frequency field may be made from'metal foil, for example, phosphor bronze, and form permanent parts of or be attached to the bending means.
