Abstract: 1399357 Attaching articles to strips; conveyers ROWE INTERNATIONAL Inc 17 Aug 1972 [17 Aug 1971] 38342/72 Headings B8C and B8A A semi-automated machine for forming a string 10 of components 12 in a predetermined sequence with a set spacing therebetween, comprises means for supporting the components in sequence means for driving the support means to move the components successively opposite a work station, means for receiving components from the support means with the set spacing therebetween, means for transferring the components from the receiving means to a means for interconnecting the components to form a string thereof, wherein the transfer means maintains the set spacing between the components. As shown, components 12 are placed in sequence in compartments 48, 50 of bins 46 arranged on a motor driven annular table 36. Pins 52 spaced around the table receive a lower cam 54 for actuating a switch 58 to open position and an upper cam 56 for actuating a switch 62 to closed position, a cam 54 being placed on each pin 52 adjacent a bin 46 and a cam 56 being placed on a pin 52 associated with the last bin of each sequence. Two components are removed from the first bin (adjacent a pincher 66) and positioned on a pair of toothed belts 86, 88 by guides 92, 94. A foot switch 160 is then operated to energize the table motor 40 which closes switch 58 to move the table by a distance equal to the distance between successive bins. At the same time a pair of toothed transfer wheels 118, 120 is driven by a motor 123 to advance the belts 86, 88 and a notched or apertured wheel 152 is stepped two steps and stops the motor 123. Switch 160 is again operated and ultimately components 12 are advanced along guide slots 104, 106 formed between pairs of guide plates 108, 110 and 112, 114, until leads 14, 16 on the components 12 come between two pairs of pressure wheels 124, 126 and 130, 132. Pressuresensitive tapes 24, 20 are trained around the wheels 124, 126 and between the pairs of wheels 124, 130 and 126, 132 and similar tapes 52, 18 are trained around wheels 130, 132 and between pairs of wheels 124, 130 and 126, 132, the arrangement being such that leads 14, 16 of the components 12 enter into the nip between tapes 22, 24 and 18, 20. The completed string is wound on to a motor-driven reel 144. The machine is semi-automatically controlled by electrical circuitry described with reference to Fig. 8 (not shown).

In a travelling band air-filter, in which a part of the band 66 out of the filtering gas stream is washed by water and detergent from a central spray manifold (74) (Fig. 1, not shown), accumulated solids are removed from the interior space of the band through a gap 71 in the otherwise endless band 66, which is normally closed by rubber flap 73 (Fig. 3, not shown) but opens as the flap passes round the lower driving sprockets 24. Two parallel runs of the band cross the gas stream (Fig. 1) the end portions being sealed off by rubber scrapers (100), and the spray is directed on to the downstream side of the band as it leaves the upstream run at the lower end. Movement is intermittent, controlled by a timer which simultaneously energises the band motor and opens valve (108) and starts a pump (136) to supply water and detergent to the spray (Fig. 8, not shown). The band 66 may be glass fibres packed between aluminium screen, stainless steel cloth or polyurethane foam, and may be continuous or in separate panels, overlapping and secured by press fasteners to the support structure (Figs. 5..7, not shown). The support structure comprises parallel endless chains (28, 30) connected by bars (58) to which band 66 is fastened. The movement step is equal to half the width of the gas channel, and a fixed filter may be located downstream to retain any water blown from the newly washed, downstream, run of the band 66. An inspection door (77) is provided.

Abstract: 1,136,485. Gripper shuttle stop motion. ELITEX - ZAVODY TEXTILNIHO STROJIRENSTVI GENERALNI REDITELSTVI. 9 Sept., 1966 [10 Sept., 1965], No. 40354/66. Heading D1E. A gripper-shuttle stop motion senses the correct position of a picked gripper-shuttle and moves the shuttle back to the weft loading position for picking in the reverse direction. The motion comprises a spring-loaded pivoted lever 3 with a detent 6, and a pivoted feeler 2. The lever 3 cooperates with a loom stop switch 10 and a two-armed axially movable member 14 that has a nose 16 for moving back the shuttle 1 and a latch 12 that is movable in an axially movable spring loaded cylinder 21. In use the member 14 is moved to the left so that the latch 12 releases the detent 6 and the lever 3 is free to pivot. If no shuttle is present the switch 10 is opened to stop the loom. If a shuttle is correctly positioned the feeler 2 prevents opening of the switch 10 and the member 14 continues moving to the left to move the shuttle to the weft loading position. During this movement the force of the spring 26 is overcome and the cylinder 21 moves to the left so that it holds down the detent 6 when the shuttle 1 has been moved so far to the left that the feeler 2 no longer contacts it.

Title: Process for the preparation of ionogenic copolymers
IPC: C08F220/06
Filed: 1966-09-09
Abstract: 1,141,272. lonogenic copolymers. STAMICARBON N.V. 9 Sept., 1966 [14 Sept., 1965], No. 40469/66. Heading C3P. Ionogenic copolymers are prepared by reacting ethylene and a salt of an α,#-olefinically unsaturated mono- or dicarboxylic acid at a pressure of over 1200 atmospheres and at a temperature between 150‹ and 300‹ C. in the presence of a source of free radicals, the reaction conditions being such that at least a part of said salt forms a homogeneous phase with the ethylene. The ionogenic copolymers are defined as copolymers derived from at least 50 mole per cent of ethylene and from 0.2 to 25 mole per cent of an α,#-olefinically unsaturated carboxylic acid having one or two carboxyl groups, and possibly also from one or more other polymerizable unsaturated monomers, the said copolymers containing one or more metal ions, the valency of which is 1, 2 or 3 if the acid is monobasic or 1 if the acid is dibasic, the proportion of the metal ion present being sufficiently large to neutralize at least 10% of the carboxylic acid. The process is preferably carried out in a solvent for the salt, the solvent also completely or partially dissolving in the ethylene when containing the salt dissolved in it. Preferred solvents are oxygen-containing compounds, e.g. alcohols, ketones, ethers and esters. Particularly preferred are esters containing 2 to 8 carbon atoms per molecule and derived from saturated aliphatic carboxylic acids and saturated aliphatic alcohols, e.g. ethyl acetate. Water may be used if the polymerization is carried out at very high pressure, e.g. greater than 2000 atmospheres. The reaction mixture may also contain the corresponding acid or another unsaturated acid. In the examples sodium acrylate and sodium acrylate/ acrylic acid are used. Capryloyl peroxide is used as the free radical source and propane as a chaintransfer agent.

Title: Human reaction analyzer
IPC: A61B5/18
Filed: 1973-09-03
Abstract: 1411328 Controlling vehicles RAYTHEON CO 3 Sept 1973 [11 Sept 1972] 41263/73 Heading B7H [Also in Division A5] Reaction analyser.-Apparatus for analysing the reactions of a person comprises a source 22, Fig. 1, of a time-varying reference signal, a response signal generator 26 for tracking the reference signal, a comparator 32 for comparing the two signals, and means for indicating the results of the comparison in a form so as to inform the person as to the manner in which a control means 24 must be altered to cause the response signal to track the reference signal. The reference signal simulates the movement of a vehicle around a bend and is provided by charging and discharging a capacitor using switching circuits. Alternatively, a random number generator (250), Fig. 4 (not shown), is used to provide a filtered staircase waveform having an unpredictable shape. If movement is to be simulated in two co-ordinates the reference and response signal generators 36, 26 each provide two signals and the control means 24 can be rotated or pivoted for operating two potentiometers (174), Fig. 3 (not shown). The comparator 32, which is a differential amplifier, compares the signals and operates the indicating means, such as light-emitting diodes 54, 56, 58, 60, such that unequal illumination thereof indicates the manner in which the control means 24 must be adjusted for zero error. The output from the comparator 32 for each pair of signals is fed to an exclusive -OR gate 68, 70 whose outputs are fed to an OR gate 72. An integrator 74 sums the total error in the signals and operates a pass or fail indicator 62, 64 depending on the magnitude of the total error after a predetermined interval of time. The output from the control means 24 may be rendered non-linear by a signal generator (26A), Fig. 6 (not shown) which double-integrates the signal from the potentiometer (174). Ignition circuit control.-A response analyser 20A, Fig. 5, may be used to control the ignition circuit 286 of the vehicle. On operating a start switch 102 of the analyser, a relay 296 closes its contacts, and if the person passes the test a terminal B is energized. Closing the ignition switch 314 then operates a relay 290 whose contacts close the ignition circuit 286. The relay 290 is self-holding for a period of ten minutes so that if the vehicle stalls another test need not be taken for ten minutes. A three minute time switch ensures that the person cannot subsequently by-pass the test by leaving the start switch 102 closed and the terminal B energized at the end of the journey. The contacts of the relay 296 open after three minutes so that a new test must be taken at the start of a new journey. A circuit including a timer 304, a 3-bit counter 306, an AND gate 308 and an OR gate 310 ensures that if the person fails the test seven times in succession the ignition circuit 286 will be disabled for twenty minutes thereafter. An emergency by-pass switch 318 is provided for by-passing the test and is coupled to the vehicle flashers to indicate that the driver has not taken the test.
