Title: Combination variable resistor and rotary switch
IPC: H01C10/32
Filed: 1957-06-05
Abstract: 842,920. Snap-action switches. CHICAGO TELEPHONE SUPPLY CORPORATION. June 5, 1957 [June 18, 1956], No. 17923/57. Class 38 (5). [Also in Group XXXVI] A combined variable resistor and rotary switch has a housing defining a forward compartment for the resistor and a rear compartment for the switch and a common operating shaft is provided, rotation of which actuates the variable resistor and rearward axial movement of which operates the switch via an elongated axial to rotary movement translator. A moulded insulating housing 35 containing a single-pole on-off switch is attached to the rear of the resistor case 19 by lugs 39. An actuator 59 twisted through 192 degrees is journalled between a hole in a boss 41 and a bore in the end of the shaft 13. The actuator 59 passes through a slot 60 in a driver 61 which is free to slide in grooves 65 in the wall of the housing 35. A clutch plate 46 is carried by the end 57 of the actuator 59. Depression of the shaft 13 forces the driver 61 against the spring 66 and hence causes rotation of the clutch plate 46. The arms of the clutch plate 46 engage lugs 53 in a contact plate 43 and hence transmit clockwise, but not anti-clockwise, motion. Two contacts 49, curved forward spirally, are fixed in slots 51 in the rear of the housing 35. Steps 52 formed adjacent each contact 49 provide snap-action and, by engagement with the contact arms 48, prevent anticlockwise motion of the contact plate 43 so that it rotates only during the inward stroke. Thus the switch is opened and closed by successive thrusts on the shaft 13. Preferably the rear of the housing 35 is shaped to correspond with the forward curvature of the contacts. In another embodiment the driver 61 is replaced by a U-shaped member 61<SP>1</SP> which slides in a non-circular hole in the rear wall 29 of the resistor.

Abstract: 357,097. Moulding-plants. PINTSCH AKT.-GES., J., 71, Andreasstrasse, Berlin. June 12, 1930, No. 18092. Convention date, June 13, 1929. [Class 83 (i).] In foundry plant in which roller trucks carrying the moulding boxes are raised from one track to another above it by an elevating platform, the platform is connected by linkwork to a hinged section of track in such a way that the free end of the section is raised, when required, to facilitate transfer of the truck from this section to the elevating platform. The elevating platform d is shown in its raised and lowered positions respectively in Figs. 1 and 3. The raising and lowering mechanism comprises an operating link h<1> a long lever h, a link X<SP>2> and a double-arm lever x<1> with its long arm pivoted to the platform d. A pin and slot connection y between the lever h and the short section of track a tilts the section as shown in Fig. 3, when platform d is in its lowest position, to ensure that the truck is transferred rapidly to the platform. The next truck g is then held by a pivoted stop b, shown also in Fig. 4, until the platform d is raised. When the track section a is in line with the main track, the stop b is operated allowing the truck g to run on to the section a until it is stopped by a similar pivoted stop c. This stop is automatically released when the section of track a is tilted.

Title: Improvements in or relating to fastener-handling devices
IPC: A43D79/00
Filed: 1939-06-22
Abstract: 530,882. Nailing. BRITISH UNITED SHOE MACHINERY CO., Ltd. (United Shoe Machinery Corporation). June 22, 1939, No. 18150. [Classes 17 (i) and 89 (iii)] Relates to means for supplying a group of nails for simultaneous driving to heel attaching machines or the like, and consists in the provision of means for testing whether che group is complete and preventing actuation of the machine until any missing nail has been supplied. Manual means are provided for supplying a missing nail. Applied to heel attaching machines of the kind described in Specifications 286,780 and 316,187, [both in Class 17 (i)], a semi-circular nail trough with a semi-circular cover has four circular rotating partitions each carrying buckets lifting nails to drop on five raceways 16. At the end of each raceway is a nail separator 60 oscillated by teeth on a block 70, the five blocks being slidable on a rod 72 and each urged to the right by a spring 74. The nail separating finger 82 is resilient, and leads the nail separated to an opening 92 leading to an opening 94 in the frame. To prevent two nails being separated together, a projection from the raceway enters a slot 97 in the finger 82. and restricts the space into which the separated nail may pass. The leading edge of the finger is inclined downwardly and outwardly, to straighten any nail which happens to be displaced from the vertical. The passage 94 delivers to a passage 98 in a nail roll 96. The roll reciprocates the rod 72 by a cam and is itself oscillated by a gear segment on a lever 108 linked to a lever 120 actuated by a cam 122, having a control handle 126 as described in the earlier prior Specification. Secured to the nail roll is a disc 130 recessed to receive a roll 134 on a lever 136 bearing a segment 138 meshing with a pinion fast on a shaft 142. This shaft is urged clockwise by springs secured to pinions 148 loose on the shaft and gearing with racks 154 each having a feeler rod 156. When the roll 134 is engaged in the recess the feelers are projected into the passages 98 to press the nails therein against the ends of rods 214. Each pinion 148 also meshes with a rack 162 on a slidable stop the path of which intersects that of an arm 170 geared through a pinion 179 to a rack 178 connected to a treadle rod 188 which moves upwardly to engage a clutch to initiate the power cycle of the machine. If a nail is absent from one of the passages 98, the corresponding feeler 156 is not obstructed and enters the tube 98 so far that the slide 160 carrying the rack 162 is depressed into the path of the arm 170. The treadle, therefore, cannot be depressed to start the machine. When this occurs the corresponding plunger 214 is withdrawn after releasing its latch 216, a nail N is inserted and the plunger returned. The hand lever 126 is locked while the nail roll is in the testing position by a plunger 222 linked to the lever 120 and engaging a socket in the lever to hold it stationary at this time.

The movable jaw 4 is bolted at 12 to a U-shaped member 11 which slidingly embraces the handle 1. The toothed member 7 is accommodated in a longitudinal recess 6 in an extension 5 of the jaw 4, the recess having an inclined side 8 which provides a guide for the inclined surface 9 of the toothed member. A compression spring 10 urges the toothed member against the side 8 of the recess. On movement of the jaw 4 towards the fixed jaw the toothed member 7 recedes into the recess 6 and rides over the toothed rack 3. On movement in the opposite direction, the member 7 is thrust into engagement with the rack. The toothed member is releasable from the rack by a finger operated pin 13.

Abstract: 440,199. Circuits for loud-speakers. GENERAL ELECTRIC CO., Ltd., Magnet House, Kingsway, London, and MACFADYEN, K. A., c/o General Electric Co., Ltd., Wembley, Middlesex. June 21, 1934, No. 18303. [Class 40 (iv)] [See also Group XL] A filter for eliminating needle-scratch and other high-frequency disturbances from a loud-speaker circuit is designed to produce less effect upon loud than upon weak sounds. Thus a rejector circuit LC1 which is antiresonant at a high-frequency such as 5000 c/sec. may be shunted by a pair of copperoxide or other rectifiers S1, S2, or other elements which offer a higher impedance to weak than to strong currents. Instead of the series arm L, C1, S1, S2 a shunt arm which offers higher impedance to strong than to weak currents may be used to produce a similar effect; thus, the rectifiers S1, S2 may be omitted and a pair of parallel oppositely connected diodes may be connected in series with the condenser C2.
