Patent GB-893608-A (GB)
Title: Programme controlled board piercing equipment
Inventor: GRAY FRANK
IPC: B21D28/26
Filed: 1959-07-29
Abstract: 893,608. Drilling-machines. STANDARD TELEPHONES & CABLES Ltd. July 22, 1960 [July 29, 1959], No. 25964/59. Class 83 (3). [Also in Groups VIII and XXXVIII] In a programme controlled machine for punching or drilling holes in insulating boards for electrical assemblies, two spaced pairs of tools are provided so as to halve the total distance that the board has to be moved relative to the tools along either axis. The board is mounted on a carriage 12 which can be moved along X and Y axes relative to the four punches 39, 40, 41, 42 by rack-and-pinion drives 19, 20, 31, 33. As shown, the board is in the loading and unloading position to which it is moved by a ram 26. In the working position, the entire drive 19, 20 is moved to the left against a stop 42. Each rack, e.g. 19, is provided with a series of locating holes 0.2 of an inch apart, and a co-operating locking device 21 so as to move the board by a series of basic increments. The pinion 20 is driven in an undisclosed manner until a uni-selector wiper also driven by the pinion reaches a contact selected by a punched tape programme. Intermediate increments of movement, i.e. 0.1, 0.05 and 0.025 of an inch are effected by pneumatic rams 24, 38 which contain three sections in series, Fig. 8 (not shown), having stops arranged so that the ram moves the appropriate distance when air is admitted to a selected section. This is again controlled by the punched tape programme. Finally, the programme determines which punch, or combination of punches is used to form the hole or holes at each co-ordinate setting. The programme tape, which is said to be read electrically by 30 contact pins at 2, is prepared by a manually controlled punching machine 3 by plotting the desired holes on a suitable grid, noting which is the appropriate punch for a particular hole, and providing the shortest route from hole to hole. A detailed discussion of this method of programming is provided.

Abstract: 264,600. Every, W. S., and Westing house Brake & Saxby Signal Co., Ltd. Oct. 23, 1925. Selective signalling apparatus.-In signalling apparatus of the kind described, for instance in Specification 18540/04, the transmitting and indicating mechanisms are combined in one casing. The movable element of the transmitting mechanism is fitted with a pointer 10 and is rotatable and axially slidable so that while a signal is transmitted the pointer 10 enters one of the recesses 9 on the front of the casing. The indicators are a series of discs 8 illuminated by lamps arranged in separate, casings 5 behind each disc. The transmitting spindle 18 has a squared portion 17 slidable through a bush 15 mounted rotatably in the casing and on the bracket 12. The bush 15 is surrounded by an insulating sleeve 21 and a metal sleeve 22 carrying studs 23 which coact with spring tongues connected to terminals 25 by means of which the required combination of circuits for each signal is prepared. The circuits are completed over a pair of contact springs which are bridged by a disc 29 fixed on the spindle 18. A piston 19 moving in a cylinder provided with a non-return ball-valve 36 ensures that the contacts at the disc 29 remain closed for a prolonged period after the spindle is released for replacement by the spring 20. In addition to serving to transmit signals, the spindle serves to make the necessary circuit for cancelling a signal previously received.

Abstract: A quick-drying rubber composition comprises a dispersion of rubber and a vinyl chloride polymer in a volatile organic liquid which is a non-solvent for the rubber, in which all the rubber and polymer are present in the form of discrete dispersed particles, the rubber particles containing absorbed therein an appreciable amount of a liquid volatile organic swelling agent, the rubber being one which in itself can form a water dispersion which will yield a coherent film when dried under film-forming conditions and a tough, cohesive coagulum when coagulated with a conventional coagulating agent.  The dispersion may also contain a cross-linking agent for the vinyl polymer, e.g. a reaction product of oleic acid, sebacic acid and triethylene tetramine in the molar proportions 2:5:6.  The vinyl chloride polymer may be polyvinyl chloride or a copolymer, e.g. with vinyl acetate or vinylidene chloride, while alkanes containing 6 to 8 carbon atoms such as hexane, octane and isoheptane or their mixtures with xylene or toluene are specified swelling agents, and natural rubber, butadiene-styrene, and butadiene-styrene-acrylonitrile are specified rubbers.  Polymer plasticizers may also be present. U.S.A. Specification 3,050,528 is referred to.
