Title: Improvements in goggles
IPC: A61F9/02
Filed: 1928-03-08
Abstract: 286,674. Willson, Goggles, Inc., (Assignees of Fraser, C. E.). March 8, 1927, [Convention date]. Goggles.-Goggles comprise a pair of rigid frames 5 hinged together by a double hinge 3 and attached to a flexible cushion 6 conforming to the contour of the face, the cushion 6 being provided with a recess 10 extending completely around it at a small distance from its periphery. A slight pressure on the outside of the cushion 6 expels a portion of the contained air and thus the goggles are retained in position by the external air when the pressure is released. A strap attached to the hook 15 is also provided to secure the goggles in position. Ventilation is effected by slightly tapered tubes 17 having an inclined opening at the smaller end, attached to the upper part of the frame 5. The passage of air through these tubes 17 induces an outward flow of air through the apertures 18 past the baffles 19 so that the air is slightly exhausted from within the eyepieces. A regulating slide 25 operated by a knob 26 regulates the outflow of the air. Fresh air is supplied through smaller opening 26 at the lower part of the frame 5 and the passage of the air over the lenses prevents dimming by condensation moisture.

Abstract: 678,960. Tobacco cutting machines. LEGG, Ltd., R., and SCHREIBER, P. Q. R. March 27, 1951 [March 23, 1950], No. 7339/50. Class 28 (ii). [Also in Group I] In a tobacco cutting machine the replacement of a worn knife 6 is facilitated by power operated devices which force together the two knife gripping plates 2, 4. The front plate 4 is forced towards or away from the back plate 2 by the rotation of nuts 8 on quick start threads 13,of studs 12. Such rotation is obtained by arms 14 rocked through about 60 degrees when the double acting pistons 28 are moved by compressed air supplied as required through a hand valve from flexible pipes 30. Springs 34 assist in biassing the plates 2 and 4 together. Other springs 20 bias the nuts 8 towards the plate 4. One of the pair of studs 12 for the plate 4 has a left hand thread to suit the arrangement shown for rocking both nuts at once. Instead of nuts moving on screw threads, wedges may be used to urge one clamping plate towards the other. Alternative power operated clamping and release of a knife may be obtained by a single compressed air piston and cylinder or by solenoids or by electric motor and worm gear, or by direct pressure of pneumatic or hydraulic rams.

Filed: 1974-02-21
Abstract: 1437564 Linkwork LKB-PRODUKTER AB 21 Feb 1974 [28 Feb 1973] 8004/74 Heading F2K [Also in Division F1] Oscillatory movement of a driving shaft 1 is converted into reciprocatory movement, of selectable stroke, of a piston driving rod 21 connected to a piston-rod (not shown) of a piston pump (not shown) for use in discharging different liquid volumes in clinical laboratory investigations. As shown, the driving shaft 1 is fast at 3 with a disc 2 having an inturned ear 16 which engages on extension 15 of a connecting disc 7 freely journalled on the shaft 1, a spring 12 attached to mountings 13, 14 on the discs 7 and 2 serving to resiliently bias the extension 15 and ear 16 of the discs 7 and 2 together. A driven disc 9 also freely journalled on the shaft 1 has an inturned ear 9a resiliently biased into engagement with the extension 15 of disc 7 by a spring 8 connected at 10 to the driven disc 9 and to a fixed mounting 11, the driven disc drivably engaging the piston driving rod 21 via a slot and roller connection 18, 19, 20. The arrangement is such that when the driving shaft 1 is rotated in direction A the driving disc 2 causes the connecting disc 7 to rotate therewith via ear 16 and extension 15 whereby the driven disc 9 is freely rotated by the spring 8 to axially downwardly move the piston driving rod 21 against a lower stop 26, which is adjustable to selectively vary the stroke of the rod 21, the driving disc 2 and disc 7 continuing to rotate, against the bias of a return spring 17 connected to the disc 2 and fixed mounting 11, to disengage the extension 15 of disc 7 from the ear 9a of the now stationary driven plate 9 before stopping and reversing rotation in direction B. In this latter direction the driving shaft 1 and disc 2 are assisted by the return spring 17 and the extension 15 of disc 7 re-engages the ear 9a of the driven plate 9 to oppositely rotate the plate 9 and via its slot and roller connection 18-20 upwardly move the piston driving rod 21 against an upper stop 25 similarly adjustable as the stop 26. At this upper movement limit of the rod 21 and plate 9, the driving shaft 1 and disc 2 continue to rotate, before stopping and again reversing direction to A, the disc 7 being held by its extension 15 on the ear 9a of the now again stationary driven plate 9. An advantage of the device is that the motor driving the shaft 1 is subjected to the same load during each of the half-cycles of the reciprocating rod 21 since the springs 8, 17 are equal and oppositely effective. Further, the continued movement of the driving shaft 1 after the piston driving rod 21 has stopped at each end may be used for switching the intake and discharge valves of the pump.
