Patent GB-458181-A (GB)
Abstract: 458,181. Electric signalling systems. BLACK, H. D., 39, St. James's Street, Westminster, and DEGEN, A. A. C., Peveril, Headstone Gardens, Harrow, Middlesex. May 14, 1935, No. 14166. [Class 40 (i)] In a system in which selection of a circuit is made by energizing one relay in each of two groups, the number of contacts of any relay is less than the number of relays in the other group. As shown in the Figure, one of thirty-six outlets is selected by energizing one relay in each of the groups 1A-1F and 2A-2F and each relay has four contacts. Relays 1A, 1B and 1C each have one contact in series with parallel-connected contacts of relays 2A, 2B and 2C and parallel-connected contacts in series with individual contacts of 2D, 2E and 2F whilst relays 1D, 1E and 1F have one contact in series with parallel-connected contacts of relays 2D, 2E and 2F and parallel-connected contacts in series with individual contacts of 2A, 2B and 2C. The invention is applied to doubles betting in totalizators. If the number of relays in each group is other than six the grouping of the contacts is similar, the number of contacts of relays in one group being one more than half the number of the relays in the other group. Arrangements of contacts are described for groups of relays having odd numbers of relays and for relay groups of differing sizes.

Title: Wire-winding machine
IPC: B65H67/048
Filed: 1974-10-25
Abstract: 1476446 Protective shields for winding machines MAILLEFER SA 25 Oct 1974 [26 Oct 1973] 46245/74 Heading D1J The invention relates to a wire winding machine and to means for preventing broken ends of wire from causing damage. According to the invention two protective plates 21, 22 extend along the entire length of the reel 9, at least one of the plates being pass as it is traversed relatively to the reel 9. and being movable to a setting permitting the reel 9 to be removed from between the plates; the plates in their closed position meeting along one edge and being spaced apart from each other along the other edge to provide a slot through which the wire can pass as it is traversed relatively to the reel 9. In Fig. 3 both plates 21, 22 are hinged as at 17, 18. Rotary action jacks (19, 20) Fig. 2 (not shown) are used to swing the plates 21, 22 to open and closed settings. The traversing carriage 10 slides on rods 11, 12 and is traversed by screw means 13. The carriage 10 has an arm 16 on which is a guide pulley 14 for the wire 15 and a member 23 that overlaps a gap between the pivoted ends of the plates 21, 22. Fig. 4 is an inverted plan view of the member 23 defining two parallel tracks on each side of the pulley 14. The apparatus may include means for stopping the rotation of the take-up reel 9 on breakage of the wire, for example a pulley on a lever that continuously measures the tension in the wire and moves to setting stopping the machine when the tension is zero.  In the case of winding machines where the two reels are co-axial, two sets of protective plates are provided, one pair for each reel. The winding machine may be additionally equipped with protective channels surrounding the reels at one end so as to receive the end of the wire of the full reel after the transfer operation when the wire has been cut and seized by a hook rotating with the empty reel.

Title: Container closure constructions
IPC: B21D51/40
Filed: 1971-10-05
Abstract: 1372545 Making containers; stamping AMERICAN FLANGE & MFG CO Inc 5 Oct 1971 [5 April 1971] 46250/71 Headings B3A and B3Q A method of securing a closure flange 1 and a tag ring element 7 to a container wall 90, Fig. 11, in a single punch press operation comprises supporting the element 7 vertically above the flange 1, placing an imperforate container wall between the flange 1 and the element 7, displacing the flange and element towards each other, perforating an opening in the wall 90, and securing the flange and tag ring element about the opening in the container wall. The closure flange 1 is placed in a collar 24, Fig. 2, and the tag ring element 7 is placed in a compression ring 45 mounted on a frame 15. When a pneumatic cylinder 12 is actuated, the frame 15 is driven along rods 20 and, when the frame 15 abuts stop nuts 21, it is in alignment with a flanging punch 53 and perforating punch 72. Continued actuation of the cylinder 12 moves a bracket 33, Fig. 6, relative to the frame 15, thereby pivoting the forked ends of arms 29, 39, away from each other. The arm 29 drives a plunger 27 downwardly and the plunger pushes the flange 1 free from the grip of a ball spring 26 to eject it from the collar 24 on to an anvil 58. The arm 39 drives a plunger 42 upwardly, causing a compression ring 45 to abut a surface 77 on an embossing ring 75 and then to compress springs 46 while lifting the tag ring 7 from the compression ring 45 and placing it within the embossing ring 75. It is retained and oriented in the ring 45 by friction or spring pin arrangements, see Figs. 16-25 (not shown). The frame 15 is then withdrawn and a container wall 90 is positioned on the flanging punch 5, Fig. 11, between the upper and lower die assemblies 70, 50.  The die assembly 70 is lowered and a punch 72 punches out a slug to form an opening 91 in the wall 90, Fig. 8 (not shown). The surface 77 pushes the wall 90 against an anvil 59, which moves against springs 62, so that the metal of the wall surrounding the opening 91 and the adjacent tag ring portion are drawn upwardly around the flange body. As the embossing ring 75 reaches the end of its travel it forms an embossment 92 in the wall 90 overlying the flange base and compresses a gasket 6. A portion 80 of the embossing ring bends an outer edge portion 9 of the tag ring over the embossment periphery and a curling anvil 73 bends the uppermost portion of the flange body over the upstanding edges of the tag ring and opening 91 into a tighly closed bead. The tag ring 7 is formed with an octagonal periphery and is provided with holes (10) at each corner of the octagon, Fig. I (not shown), for attaching an identifying tag. It may. be formed with a part-conical neck (107) around its central opening, Fig. 12 (not shown), or it may be flat with a circular outer periphery from which protrude diametrically opposed ears (211) having holes (210), Fig. 23 (not shown).

Title: Method of and apparatus for controlling air/fuel ratio in internal combustion engine
IPC: F02D41/14
Filed: 1975-11-11
Abstract: 1534135 Retroactive control of fuel supply in IC engines NISSAN MOTOR CO Ltd 11 Nov 1975 [13 Nov 1974 8 April 1975 10 April 1975] 46510/75 Heading G3R  The fuel air ratio of the mixture supplied to an engine is altered from a high range to a lower range during high load conditions of the engine so that its power output characteristics are improved. This control is applied to an engine where the quantity of fuel supplied is'by a carburetter or fuel injection and is controlled in accordance with the oxygen content of the exhaust gas. The high load condition of the engine may be signalled either by the change in manifold pressure or by a switch which is made when the throttle valve is nearly fully open. In the carburetter shown, passages 70, 72 are alternately opened to outside air by solenoid valves 78, 80 controlled in accordance with the signal So from exhaust gas oxygen sensor 88. Valve 78 controls the spray of fuel through main jet 46 and valve 80 controls the fuel supplied through low speed jet 58 and idling jet 60. The mark/space ratio of the signals applied to the valves provides alternate rich and weak mixtures which combine in the choke tube 10 to provide, under normal load conditions, a stochiometric mixture to the engine. The fuel in the float chamber 34 of the carburetter supplies fuel through jet 38 to the conduit 50 but can also supply additional fuel through orifice 116 when valve 106 is opened which occurs at large throttle openings by reducing the vacuum in chamber 120a connected through pipe 124 to the inlet manifold. This causes a richer mixture to be supplied when the engine is operating under highly loaded conditions. In an alternative arrangement the high load condition sensor acts to disable the control circuit so that both the main and low speed jets are opened simultaneously to thereby increase the richness of the fuel/air mixture, Fig. 6 (not shown). In a further alternative embodiment, Fig. 8 (not shown) the high load condition causes a valve supplying air to the exhaust to open so that the sensor, by responding to the increased oxygen content of the exhaust gas, will command an increased fuel supply. A similar system is shown as being suitable for an engine employing fuel injection.

Abstract: 1356336 Nitrocellulose compositions BADISCHE ANILIN- & SODA-FABRIK AG 7 Oct 1971 [8 Oct 1970] 46666/71 Heading C3F [Also in Division C4] Lacquers, varnishes and printing inks containing nitrocellulose and either soluble basic dyes or lakes based on basic dyes or pigments, or mixtures of these are stabilized in viscosity and colour by the addition of 0À5 to 15% by weight (based on the colouring material) of oxalic acid, or an acid salt or an amine or ammonium salt of oxalic acid, or a mixture of these.  Preferably the stabilizing agent is a mixture containing from 20 to 80% by weight of oxalic acid and 80 to 20% of an oxalate formed from ammonia with an amine. Dyes given as examples are triarylmethanes such as Victoria Blue, Methyl Violet and Crystal Violet. Lakes used are formed from these by addition of heteropolyacids such as phosphomolybdic acid, or by use of silicic acid or a condensation polymer such as formaldehyde/salicylic acid and formaldehyde/naphthalene sulphonic acid derivatives. Phthalocyanine pigments may be used. Certain inks may be stabilized further by addition of an alkali metal salt of a weak carboxylic acid. The compositions are completed by plasticizers, solvents and occasionally by additional binders such as shellac or a soluble polyamide resin.

Abstract: 1,247,010. Crossbar switches. WESTERN ELECTRIC CO. Inc. 2 Oct., 1968 [2 Oct., 1967], No. 46682/68. Heading H1L. A crossbar switching device has a plurality of hold units 40 located by ears 52 in slots 25 in side frames 21, 22 of a rack and a plurality of pivotally mounted select bars 100 mounted in end frames 23, 24. The select bars are rotated in either required direction by electromagnets 101 so that operators 108 can move one of the legs 73 of U-shaped finger units 51 sideways to select which column of contacts will be closed by card 77 when armature 48 is raised. The moving contacts are flexibly mounted and attached at one end to outgoing wires and at the other end they pass in pairs through slots 86 in cards 77 which are supported between springs 78, 79. The moving contact assembly is secured by hooks 91 which engage slots 54 in the hold unit. The U-shaped finger unit is mounted on boss 50 on plate 46 and its legs 73 are cranked to be resilient in two dimensions so that the contact motion is adequately damped. When the operator 108 moves one respective leg 73 passing through aperture 85 in the card is driven into slot 89 so that when magnet 47 is energized, armature 48 is lifted to press against legs 73. Card 77 having the leg 73 in slot 89 will be lifted to close the contacts in the selected crosspoint. The throw of armature 58 may be adjusted by altering the position of stop 65. A leaf-spring acts on boss 60 to return the armature to the initial position when the magnet coil is deenergized. The stationary contact assembly (43) comprises nickel-silver bars (93) with palladium contact members secured in polystyrene blocks 94 which are clipped on to lugs 53 on the hold unit. The select magnets 101 have cores which are adjustable so that the force exerted on armature 109 can be accurately set. The magnets 101 have nylon bobbins which terminate in flanges with slotted tabs for engaging holes in frames 23, 24. Alternate select bars are controlled by magnets situated on opposite frames. In operation, the select magnet can be de-energized after the hold magnet has operated and the cross-point will remain closed.
