Abstract: 496,852. Spring frames for motorcycles &c. STEYR DAIMLER PUCH AKT.- GES. Feb. 17, 1938, No. 4989. Convention date, Feb. 19, 1937. [Class 136 (iii)] In a spring suspension for the rear wheels of vehicles, and more particularly motor-cycles, the wheel is supported by one or more pairs of link members capable of swinging upwards and downwards, the springs acting on both the link members of a pair in such a way that the reaction force of the springs is also used for springing the wheel. In the form shown, links 2, 3 on each side of the wheel are pivoted at 4, 5 respectively to the motor-cycle frame 1 and at 6, 7 to parts (e.g. the gear-box 9 &c.) carrying the rear wheel 8. A tension spring 15 on each side of the frame is connected to an arm 16 of each link 3 and to an arm 17 pivoted to the frame 1 and geared by toothed segments 18, 19 to the corresponding link 2, the parts being so proportioned that the resistance of the spring 15 progressively increases more rapidly than the displacement of the wheel. The wheel axle 10 moves in an arc concentric either with the universal joint 13 of a shaft drive 14, or with the driving-sprocket when a chain drive is employed. In a modification, the inner arms of the links 2, 3 are directed towards one another, and are both connected directly to the tension spring 15.

Abstract: 608,190. Lasting machines. KAMBORIAN, J. S. Feb. 18, 1946, No. 5012. [Class 17(i)] A shoe lasting machine wherein the point of application of the upper stretching force is shifted progressively along the periphery of the last bottom by relative movement between lasting means and shoe upper has a rotating helical wiper 128, Fig. 1, for impelling the margin of the upper as it escapes from the upper gripping means inwardly of the last bottom substantially parallel to the axis of rotation of the wiper. The means for gripping the upper while applying stretching force may comprise two oppositely rotating work-gripping rolls 113, 114 turning about parallel axes, and the wiping element 128 is in a plane which intersects the axes of the rolls at an angle of about 20 degrees, and with its axis cutting the shoe bottom. The wiper is mounted in a supporting sleeve 126, an extension of which is slidable in a support 121 under the action of a spring 125. It is driven through universal couplings and belt 137 from an electro-motor 139. The wiper may be of circular crosssection and taper in diameter with a helical rib 130 projecting from it, or it may be of skeleton form obtained by bending a wire into a tapering helix. In a further modification, the wiper has a groove in its surface instead of a rib 130 projecting therefrom. This construction of wiper enables deep shanked shoes to be lasted on the machine without interfering with its ready manipulation. Specifications 541,643 and 585,121 are referred to.

Apparatus for effecting a substantial change in the direction of travel of a hot metal rod for delivery thereof to a coiling reel comprises a pair of rotatable pulleys, an endless flexible member passing around the said pulleys, a third rotatable pulley intermediate the said first two pulleys with its periphery contacting the exterior side of the flexible member, the three pulleys lying in the same plane, means adapted to direct the rod between the periphery of the third pulley and the exterior side of the flexible member, adjustable means to control the tension of the flexible member and means for rotating at least the third pulley. Hot metal rod 1 from the last finishing stand 2 of a rolling mill passes through a guide pipe 3 into a descaling trough 4 where it is cooled and descaled by high-pressure water sprays 5. The rod 1 then passes through guides 6, 7 and over a flanged pulley 9, driven by a motor 20 at a speed equal to or slightly greater than the linear speed of the rod. The rod is held against the pulley 9 by an endless flexible chain 10 or steel band passing around pulleys 11, 12, the pulley 11 being adjustably spring mounted to vary the tension in the chain 10 and to absorb shock. The rod 1 then passes through a bell mouth 13 and a rotating spinner pipe 15 which lays the rod in coils 16 around a stationary coiling drum 17.

A carton blank is folded-up and joined into an open ended tube with end flaps closed subsequent to filling, the carton top having depending flanges overlapping the front and ends externally and there being a line of weakness at the upper extremity of the front, so that the carton can be opened by braking the line of weakness and lifting the entire top as part of a hinged lid. As shown, the blank of Fig. 2 is erected to form the carton of Fig. 1 with a front wall 2 having along its upper edge an inwardly-directed flap 44 secured by a line of glue 42 to the inside of the carton lid 8. A weakened line 46 between the flap 44 and the front 2 is ruptured to open the lid. The side flaps 50 of the lid may be glued at 58 to the side walls 30. In one modification, the lid 8 has a rear downwardly-directed flange (62), Fig. 4 (not shown), hinged at its lower edge to a flap (64) turned down from the back wall 6 of the carton to which it is glued at (65): the hinge line (60) of the lid is then below the level of the carton top. In another modification, the lid has a rear flange (62), Fig. 5 (not shown), secured by glue (86) adjacent the bottom of the rear wall 6 below the hinge line (60), and the flap (83) at the top of the front wall (2) of the carton extends down the front wall and is secured by glue (84) to the inside of the lid front flap 48. The line of weakening 46 along the top of the front wall 2 connects to the flap (83). In another embodiment, the front wall 2 is inwardly inclined, Fig. 6 (not shown), to facilitate opening the lid. Instead of gluing, the blank may be suitably coated and then heat sealed.

Abstract: 728,476. Reciprocating pumps. BREVETTI GAGGIA SOC. Feb. 25, 1953, No. 5275/53. Class 102 (1). [Also in Group VI] In a coffee making machine of the type in which a spring-loaded piston forces hot water through a charge of ground coffee, the piston is provided with a detent to hold it in its upper position against the pressure of the spring. The piston 4 is located within a cylinder 1 secured to a boiler by flange 2. The piston may be raised against a compression spring 13 by a rack and pinion actuated by a hand lever 7. This allows hot water to flow from conduit 3 through channel 15 in the piston and the non-return valve 18 on to the coffee powder held in a detachable percolator 14. The piston construction is disclosed in Specification 728,017. The notched disc 22 on the pinion shaft engages a pawl 25 when the piston is raised to hold it in this position. To'release the piston, it is lifted further so that a tongue 34 lifts the pawl clear. A tongue 35 returns the pawl when the piston has descended. The pawl is spring loaded by a ball, Fig. 2.
