Title: Apparatus for assembling coil springs
IPC: B21F33/04
Filed: 1956-05-28
Abstract: 806,854. Making coiled fabrics. RYMLAND, M. J. May 28, 1956, No. 16420/56. Class 83 (4). [Also in Group XIV] The invention relates to a machine for assembling mattress &c springs by connecting together rows of coil springs at their top and bottom edges by means of helical fasteners. The machine includes a row of upper and lower fixed jaws 16 supported on cross-bars 14, 15, and corresponding pairs of moving jaws 33 supported on members 40 and 41 which are manually caused to reciprocate towards the fixed jaws and to grip adjacent coil springs 23 on successive rows, temporarily deforming the portions of the springs between the jaws to allow the helical fastener 61 to be fed on to the springs. A manually-operated mechanism is also provided for passing the assembled mattress row by row through the machine and on to supports 101. The fixed jaws (Fig. 21) have two side members 24 with lateral V-shaped slots and two inner recessed jaw-pieces 29 inclined slightly to the vertical, while the movable jaws 33 have corresponding side members 35 and one jaw-piece 39. When the jaws are closed the members 29 and 39 deform the adjacent portions of springs in successive rows of the mattress into virtually parallel lines, the slots in the side members permitting a helical fastener to be fed between each row of jaws so as to secure the rows of coil springs together at their top and bottom edges. Reciprocation of the lower movable jaws is caused by movement of a roller 48 on a laterally sliding rod 46 over a cam surface 44 fixed to the member 41, which rod 46 is itself reciprocated by the movement of a cam surface 109, 110 abutting a stud 103 on the rod 46. The cam surface 109, 110 is on a wheel 106 turned by a lever 108. A similar arrangement is provided for the upper movable jaws, corresponding cam surfaces on the wheel 106 reciprocating a rod 45 and thus the jaw-carrying member 40. Sliding in guides 84 on each side of the machine are rods 85 at the free ends of which are a pair of spring-biased pivoted arms 88 carrying a cross-bar 90. Cams 87 on rod 85 cause pivoted arms 79 to rock against the coil springs and thus to force them out of engagement with the fixed jaws. Continued movement of the rod 85, due to manual rotation of wheel 93, causes the cross-bar 90 to engage the fastened row of springs and move them completely clear of the jaws. The helical springs are fed by hand into openings 60 and are moved through the jaws by rotating cylinders having grooves engaging the coils of the helix.

Title: Improvements in or relating to rotary internal combustion engines or the like
IPC: F01C19/10
Filed: 1962-04-30
Abstract: 993,864. Rotary engines and pumps. CURTISS-WRIGHT CORPORATION. April 30, 1962 [May 10, 1961], No. 16505/62. Heading F1F. A rotary internal combustion engine, in which a triangular piston 10 (Fig. 4) is mounted on an eccentric and rotates within an epitrochoidal profiled housing 18, has radially slidable sealing strips 52 mounted in grooves in the piston and is provided with means for reducing the radial movement of the sealing strips relative to the piston caused by the displacement of the centre of the piston from its orbit 72 around the axis 16 to the orbit 76. This displacement is caused by the reduction of the bearing clearance between the piston and the eccentric near the axis 16 and by deflections of the eccentric, both due to centrifugal force. The tip of each sealing strip 52 (Fig. 3) is rounded and the profile of the housing is formed by a curve 66 parallel to the epitrochoid 62, and spaced from it by a distance r equal to the radius of curvature of the tip. In one embodiment (Fig. 6, not shown) eccentricity of the eccentric is reduced by the amount of the displacement referred to above, so that during operation it increases to the desired value. In another embodiment (Fig. 4), the eccentricity of the generator of the epitrochoid is increased by the amount of the displacement, to produce the curve 70 instead of 62. In a third embodiment (Figs. 7 and 8), the tip radius of the sealing strips is increased so that, between the major axis 26 and the position of the sealing strip 97, where the sealing strip is at its maximum inclination to the normal to the epitrochoid, as the surface 94 slides over the housing surface 66, the hypothetical surfaces 94<SP>1</SP> and 70<SP>1</SP>, which are equivalent to rubbing surfaces of the second embodiment, are in contact. Between the position 97 and the minor axis, the radial movement of the sealing strip relative to the piston is increased, but since there is little or no pressure difference across the strip in this position, the wear caused is insignificant, and a light spring behind each strip suffices to provide the movement. The profile of the housing inner surface may also be modified to allow for changes in shape due to differential heating (see Fig. 5, not shown). The invention is also applicable to fluid pumps, motors and compressors. Specification 791,689 is referred to.

IPC: G07B11/05
Filed: 1919-07-02
Abstract: 152,390. Backer, J. P. July 2, 1919. Ticket punches.-A double-acting detent is provided which serves to prevent operation in the absence of a ticket and also the return of the punch slide until a full stroke of the punch has been made. The counter is operated by a longtoothed ratchet-wheel, the rotation of which is partially effected by a pawl on the punch slide and completed by a spring detent which also serves as a bell hammer. As many parts as possible are carried on the back plate of the punch to facilitate assembling, and the sides of the ticket slot are flared to prevent choking. Fraudulent return of the punch slide bv a manual upward movement of the operating-lever is prevented by the provision of a single lug on the punch slide which is engaged on the down-stroke of the lever by a projection thereon. Normally the punch slide F, housed in a groove in the back-plate G, is held in the raised position by a spring H and is depressed by a lever B pivoted at b<2> to the back-plate and provided with a pin and roller b<1> engaging a lug f<2> on the slide. Pivoted at f<5> to the slide F is a double-acting detent K held in the position shown in Fig. 4, to lock the punch in the absence of a. ticket by engaging with a notch g<2> in the back plate, by. a spring k<1> resting on the flat top k<2> of the detent. The punch P, provided with two prongs p<2>, p', carries a feeling device p<1> which, in the presence of a ticket, raises the spring k<1> from the detent and allows a weaker spring k<3> to. rock the pawl from the notch g<2> and bring a tooth k' thereon into engagement with a notch or notches j<1> in the die J. Return of the slide F is thus prevented until the punch has completed its stroke and the spring k' has, through the feeler p<1>, forced the punched out portion of the ticket into a receptacle in the casing, at the same time removing the detent K from engagement with the notch j<1>. Actuation of the counter is partially effected by the engagement of a spring-pressed pawl o' on the slide F with a long toothed ratchetwheel d<2>, the movement of which is completed by a spring detent 0 carried by the bracket by which the counter is secured to the back plate. A hammer o<1> on the end of the spring detent serves to ring a bell E on the casing. To prevent clogging of the ticket slot N, this may be made wider at the inner end and is flared at the sides n<2> thereof as shown in Fig. 11.
