IPC: B65H45/18
Filed: 1964-02-19
Abstract: 986,257. Paper-folding machines. LEIPZIGER BUCHBINDEREIMASCHINENWERKE VEB. Feb. 19, 1964, No. 6981/64. Heading B6H. In a sheet-folding machine individual pairs of folding rollers, perforating rollers, folding and perforating rollers, or similar co-operating pairs of rollers are supported in bearings which are pivotally mounted on a shaft so that the rollers can be pivoted out of and into their operative position. As shown, a pair of folding or perforating rollers 4 and a driving gear 5 are carried at each end by a bearing 3 pivotal about a shaft 2 situated between frame walls 1 of a sheet-folding machine. The two end bearings 3 are connected for simultaneous swinging by means of a shaft 6, the end faces of which, when swung upwards, are opposite respective stub shafts 7, 7<SP>1</SP> (not shown) secured in the frame 1. The shaft 6 can be rotated by a handle through approximately 180 degrees and the end faces of the shaft and the stub shafts are formed with wedge-shaped clamp surfaces 12, 12<SP>1</SP> respectively, which constitute self-locking screw-threads, so that they engage to hold the bearings 3 rigidly in operative position. Adjustable stops 9 on the bearings 3 engage surfaces 11 on the stub shafts to register the operative position of the bearings. When the shaft 6 is rotated, the bearings 3 and rollers 4 can be swung away to allow inspection &c or access to the machine. The machine may be of the knife-folding type.

Abstract: 431,454. Attaching plate - racks to stoves. FLAVEL, P. W., Eagle Foundry, Leamington Spa. March 19, 1934, No. 7058/35. Divided application. [Class 126] The hinged hot-plate cover 2 of a stove is so connected to a plate-rack 8 and its supporting frame 7 that they are brought to the position of use when the cover is raised and folded inside it when it is lowered. In the construction shown, the supporting frame 7 is hinged to lugs 6 on the hot-plate and is connected by links 13 to the frame 3 of the cover, so as to move with it. When the cover is vertical spring- pressed pawls 10 pivoted to brackets on the top of the frame 7 engage under a crossbar 5 of the frame 3, so looking the frame 7 and cover in position. The plate-rack 8 is pivoted to the upper end of the frame 7, and is brought to, and supported in, the position of use by links 14 pivoted to it and to the frame 3. To lower the cover, the pawls 10 are disengaged from the bar 5 by pulling a knob 12 on a rod 11 which connects them.

Filed: 1917-05-19
Abstract: 115,885. Roesch, G., and Talbot, Ltd., C. May 19, 1917. Clutches, friction.-In a closed clutch of the single central-plate type, the cover-plate of the drum is provided with an inwardly projecting cylindrical flange in which slides non-rotatably a cylindrical flange on the outer sliding clutch plate. The driving-fly-wheel F has a cover F<2> with a cylindrical flange C F, to which is splined the hub D P of the outer clutch plate D. Engagement is produced by springs S P in an annular trough A R, which is adjusted by nuts N in the cover F<2> and slides on the flange C F in such a manner that uneven adjustment of the nuts N cannot cause tilting of the trough A R and plate D. A lever 2, engaging a sleeve S bearing through a ball bearing B on a plate T R secured to the hub D P, effects disengagement, the central plate D<2> sliding freely on the driven shaft D N. A flange S' on the sleeve S prevents entry of dust &c.

Abstract: 815,467. Shooting targets. BAKER, H. W. June 11, 1956 [March 12, 1955], No. 7291/55. Class 20(1) A combined target holder and bullet catcher unit comprises a casing 1 which contains a target holder 11 having two holder parts 11a, 11b at right angles to each other, the holder being pivoted on a spindle 10 for control by an arm 14 fixed to the spindle and actuated by a flexible pulling element 15. A bullet deflector 7a includes an arcuate part 7b in front of which is a container 8 having an open rear part 8a and a side shutter 9 for gaining access to the container. In using the unit, a practice target 13 is placed in the holder part llb which is vertical and rests against a catch 20, and a competition target 12 is placed in the holder part 11a, the latter being disposed forward and horizontal as shown in broken lines. Bullets which pass through the target are deflected forwardly into the container 8, the lead being recovered by opening the shutter 9. When it is desired to use the competition target 12, the shooter pulls the flexible element 15, the holder part 11b together with the used practice target 13 swings rearward and substantially horizontal to engage a resilient stop 23, and the holder part 11a and competition target 12 are raised to the position shown ready for use. The catch 20 prevents the holder 11 from being returned to its first position but may be pivoted manually for re-setting the holder. Electric lights 24 may be rheostat controlled by the shooter.

Title: Improvements in and relating to carrier wave transmission systems
IPC: H03C1/60
Filed: 1934-03-07
Abstract: 433,064. Modulating systems. WILSON, W. P., 28, Wyatt Park Road, Streatham Hill, London, and MURPHY, F. M. G., Orchard Lodge, Chelmsford, Essex. March 7, 1934, No. 7314. [Class 40 (v)] A single side-band of a carrier wave is produced by modulating three sets of waves which are in the relative phases #/2, o and an odd multiple of #/4, by three phases of the modulating signal in the relative phases o, #, and either #/2 or 3#/2. The carrier source C is connected through a hybrid transformer H (with balancing network B) amplifiers A1, A2, and phasing networks D1, D2 to the modulators M1, M2. Network D1 retards the phase by #/4 and network D2 advances the phase by #/4. The modulating signals from a source V are applied in anti-phase to the modulators M1, M2 through amplifiers. The carrier wave is also applied through an amplifier A3 and phasing network D3 to a modulator M3, the network D3 being arranged to deliver the wave to M3 so that it is de-phased relative to the wave applied to M1 by an odd multiple of #/4. The modulating signal from V is applied to the modulator M3, through an amplifier and a network P, in quadrature with the signal delivered to M1. The outputs of modulators M1, M2 are added or subtracted in a combining device F and the combined output is then combined at X with the output from the modulator M3, delivering through an amplifier C1 either a single sideband without carrier, or a single side-band with carrier.

Abstract: 691,532. Heavy-current switches; switch contacts. PARRISH, E. W. March 22,1951 [March 23,1950], No. 7358/50. Class 38(v) A switch intended for use in large motor vehicles comprises opposed pairs of laminated contacts 15 respectively bridged by contact studs 29 in an insulating disc 28 rotatable by a handle 27 on a shaft 26. The studs 29 are located in somewhat larger holes 38 in the disc 28 and have a peripheral groove 37 whereby they are retained by rivets 30 so as to be movable endwise as well as rotatable in the disc. The contacts 15 are fixed to the ends of insulating strips 10 which run in a groove in the insulating base 9 and extend across the latter. Terminal blocks 17 associated with the contacts 15 have elongated apertures for receiving the "in" and "out" conductors which are soldered therein, holes then being drilled through the blocks for fixing screws 18. The conductors enter part 3 of the casing through openings 6 and watertightness is ensured by rubber diaphragms placed thereover after the cables are in place. Cable entries not used are closed by covers 7 held by frames 8. Channel members 13 associated with each contact 15 slidably carry spring-loaded bolts 22 whose heads abut the rear of the respective contact 15 to ensure good contact-making.
