Title: Improvements in wire joining tools
IPC: B65B13/28
Filed: 1921-04-29
Abstract: 165,444. Wirebounds Patents Co., (Assignees of Bauwens, S. F.). June 24, 1920, [Convention date]. Twisting wires together; breaking.-In a tool for twisting together the ends of wires placed round boxes, bales, bundles, packages, &c., having wiregripping members which are rotated to twist the wires and then sever them at the tip of the twist, as described in Specification 156,745, the members are relatively movable so that kinked wires and wires of different gauges may be readily inserted and so' that the pressure exerted may be varied to control the tension of the wire, the tightness of the convolutions, and the time of severing. The body portion 3 of the tool, Fig. 2, which is provided with a brace 4, is slotted to receive a slidable jaw 1 having a plate 5, which is normally pressed against the body by a spring 6 on a rod 7 attached to the jaw engaging the extension 9 from the body. The jaw 2 is pivoted at 10 to the jaw 1 and is connected to the body bv a toggle 11 so that the jaws may be closed by pressing the tool against the box &c. A screw stop 14 contacts with the jaw 2 to limit the closing of the jaws and thus the degree of pressure exerted. The jaws are provided with transverse gripping-pins 12 which in the form shown are square in section, and are situated at a distance from the nose of the jaws according to the length of the twist. When the tool is rotated the wires are twisted uniformly along the length between the box and the pins so as to tension each turn uniformly, and when, due to tightening of the convolutions, further twisting is resisted, further rotation causes severence of the wires at the tip of the twist. The jaws when closed form a channel to confine the twist and prevent buckling thereof. The wire required for the twist may be drawn first from that round the box until it becomes taut and then from behind the pins. The tightness of the convolutions and the time of severing may be further varied by pressing the tool lightly against the box or by using gripping pins with blunt or rounded surfaces.

Filed: 1944-06-10
Abstract: 569,056. Variable pitch propellers. ROWLANDS, P. O. June 10, 1944, No. 13126/43. [Class 114] In a marine screw propeller the pitch of the blade or blades 9 is varied by means of a sleeve 17 which surrounds the drive shaft 1 and which extends in one direction through a detachable cover 49 on the boss 50 and in the other direction to a concentric opicyclic gear train 17a, 17b which transmits variable angular motion from the shaft to the sleeve. In the form shown, spiders 22, 23 rotatable about the sleeve 17 carry planet spindles 24, 25 each provided with a pinion 26 which meshes with an internally toothed ring 21 keyed to the sleeve 17, and with a pinion 27 which meshes with an externally toothed sun-wheel 18 mounted on sleeves 19, 20 rotatable on' the sleeve 17. The speed ratios of the cpicyclic trains are so arranged that by stopping one or other of the two sun-wheels 18, the sleeve 17 is rotated either slightly faster or slightly slower than the shaft 1 so as to increase or decrease the pitch of the blades 9. The sun-wheels 18 may be stopped by electro-magnetic brakes each consisting of an armature 28 connected to the sun-wheel and rotating between the poles of fixed field magnets 29. Variable electric current from an extraneous source is supplied to the field magnets, and the electric currents set up in the armature windings 31 are absorbed by variable external resistances 31a. Worm wheels 33, 34 keyed to the sleeve 17 and drive shaft 1 respectively, mesh with separateworms 35, 36 in a common frame 37 rotatably mounted on the sleeve and/or shaft. The worms 35, 3G are normally non-reversible but they may be made to operate as reversible worms by overcoming. their self-locking characteristic by the application of sufficient torque through worm gearing rotated by electric motors 40 also mounted on the frame 37. Current from supply mains 42, 43 may be supplied to the electro-magnetic brakes 28 and to the motors 40 under the control of a single handle 44.

Abstract: 975,241. Air cushion vehicles. HOVERCRAFT DEVELOPMENT Ltd. April 12, 1961 [April 13, 1960], No. 13211/60. Heading B7K. A gas-cushion supported vehicle includes a supply port extending across the rear of the bottom of the vehicle and means for causing a fluid to issue from the supply port and form a primary curtain of moving fluid to contain the supporting cushion at the rear of the vehicle, comprising, a forward facing air intake on the top of the vehicle, at least one further port extending parallel to and adjacent to the supply port and at least one duct connecting the air intake and the further port whereby, on forward movement of the vehicle air is fed from the intake to the further port to issue therefrom and form a curtain of air to reinforce said primary curtain. The vehicle 1 comprises a power plant 6, 7 delivering air to a supply duct 9 which, at the rear of the vehicle exhausts through a supply port 10 to form a primary rear curtain 4 which assists in containing the supporting air cushion 3. A similar curtain 4 is formed at the front of the vehicle and the effect of forward motion on the vehicle will be to strengthen the effect of the forward curtain and weaken the effect of the rear curtain. This is offset by providing a duct 15 at the rear end of the vehicle, which takes ram air at 14 and exhausts it at 16 to form a reinforcing air curtain 17. The front curtain is weakened by providing the forward supply port with a valve 19 adjustable linearly by an actuator 22 which is controlled automatically by atmospheric pressure ahead of the curtain by a valve 21 responsive to pressure sensed by a head 20. The simple curtain arrangement of Fig. 2 may be replaced by a circulating curtain system shown in Fig. 6 wherein a fan 34 in transfer duct 33 maintains the curtain in circulation. Air for starting and for supplying additional air in normal operation is supplied via a duct 36 from any suitable source. The vehicle may have a plurality of longitudinally spaced discrete air inlets at the top of the body which deliver air down ducts at the side of the vehicle to form a reinforcing curtain on the outside of a primary side curtain.
