Abstract: 858,387. Transformers and inductors. UNITED TRANSFORMER CORPORATION. July 14, 1958 [July 26, 1957], No. 22510/58. Class 38 (2). A transformer or inductor comprises a coil, pre-wound on a bobbin or as a self-supporting coil, in a magnetic shell formed from non- laminated, unpowdered material in two or more sections, with a slot to reduce eddy currents. Fig. 1 shows two annular core elements 3, 4 abutting at edges 5, having a radial slot 6 through which leads 8 pass. Air gap 5 is varied by shifting part 3 relative to part 4 perpendicular to the axis, or by inserting a gap spacer. In one modification (Fig. 5), the two core sections may be L-shaped in radial cross-section, one consisting of wall 14 and end closure wall 16, and the other of outer wall 17 and the other end closure wall 18. A second modification includes two sections of U-shaped radial cross-section, having slightly different radii of curvature so that one may be slid inside the other to any required degree (Fig. 6, not shown). Three further modifications each have a member of generally U-shaped radial cross-section, one having a solid central cylinder (Fig. 9, not shown), the other two being hollow. One of the latter has its inner and outer walls bent respectively inwards and outwards to form flanges (Fig. 10). In each of these three modifications the open end is covered by a disc. Yet a further modification has a core in three sections, two similar sections of L-shaped radial cross-section forming the outer wall and end walls, and a cylinder forming the inner wall (Fig. 8, not shown). The radial slot appears in all these modifications.

Title: Improvements in signalling systems
IPC: H01H47/00
Filed: 1923-09-10
Abstract: 223,026. Western Electric Co., Ltd., (Western Electric Co., Inc.). Sept. 10, 1923. Tuned relays. - In an electric signalling arrangement, such as that actuated by the ring- ing current in a telephone system, the current is supplied to a relay having a tuned armature adapted to close a normally open contact, and the intermittent operation of the armature serves to discharge a condenser which is repeatedly charged from a source of current, and by means of this charging and discharging to actuate the signalling devices. In the arrangement of Fig. 1, an armature 13, tuned to a ringing current frequency of e.g. 135 cycles per second, moves between a spring contact 15 and a stop 14. The contact 15 is connected as shown to resistances 17, 18, a condenser 19, an electromagnet 20, and a battery 21, and the armature, condenser, and battery are earthed at 16, 22, and 23 respectively. The condenser is steadily changed from the battery as the armature moves over to the stop 14 and back again, and is discharged through the armature during the period of contact at 15. The resistance 17 is sufficiently large to delay the discharge and thus prevent injury to the contact. The resistance 18 and the time constant of the magnet 20 are such as to prevent any considerable flow of current during the contact at 15. The integrated charging current through the magnet 20 causes the attraction of an armature 24 which closes a circuit J including the winding 26 of a slow-acting relay by which the signalling circuit is closed at 28. In a modified arrangement, Fig. 2, the armature 13 moves between two connected contacts 14, 15 and the condenser 19, arranged in parallel with the magnet 20, is charged during the contact at 14 or 15, and is discharged through the winding during the movement of the armature between the contacts. Specification 208,038, [Class 40 (iv), Telephones &c.], is referred to.

Title: Automatic thread winding machine
IPC: B65H67/08
Filed: 1962-06-13
Abstract: 1,010,795. Yarn winding machines. W. REINERS. June 13, 1962 [June 19,1961], No. 22732/62. Heading D1J An automatic bobbin winding machine having a pair of thread end finding and gripping means for conveying the thread ends of the bobbin and a supply cop respectivey to a knot-tying device, includes means in association with one or each of said finding and gripping means by which, in the event of the corresponding thread end or ends becoming doubled, that portion of the or each doubled thread which does not extend directly to the bobbin or cop is restrained against conveyance to the knot-tying device. In Fig. 4 the suction area 4 is used to find a broken thread end on a package 2. If the arm 4 can only grasp a loop of thread because the thread end has been thrown laterally or has formed a coil W around the package sleeve 2a, a hook shaped part 4b or 4c extends between the two sides lengths F F 2  of the thread loop such that the arm 4 can only convey that side F 2  of the loop that extends directly to the package to the knotting mechanism. In Fig. 5 the thread deflecting means is arranged on the knotting device 6 and is in the form of two wing- like extensions 16, 16a, the extension 16 being illustrated as preventing the thread length F1 from being supplied to the knotting device 6 by the suction arm 4. In Figs 6 and 7 the deflecting members are two stationary hooks 17 and 17a that are so arranged beside the take-up spool 2 than any thread length F 1  leading from a coil W is held away from the knotting device 6. The apparatus includes a further thread seeking arm 5, Fig 1 (not shown), for conveying the thread end from the supply spool to the thread knotter 6. If this thread seeking arm 5 picks up the thread at a point below-thread tensioning device whilst the thread is still in the tensioning device, then a loop of thread will be moved towards the knotting device by the arm 5. To prevent the two arms of the loop from being placed in the knotter-deflecting member enters said loop and then swings to one side to move one arm of the loop to a position where it will not be carried into the knotter.

Patent GB-533307-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in or relating to the melt spinning of organic filament-forming compositions
IPC: B29C48/08
Filed: 1939-08-09
Abstract: 533,307. Artificial filaments &c. DU PONT DE NEMOURS & CO., E. I. Aug. 9, 1939, No. 23047. Convention date, Aug. 9, 1938. [Class 2 (ii)] [Also in Group V] A solid organic filament-forming composition is melted at a substantially uniform rate and the molten composition is extruded at substantially the same rate as that at which it is melted and is formed into filaments, yarns, ribbons or the like or is extruded upon wires or similar materials to form coatings. The solid composition may be brought into contact with a heated surface, e.g., a grid, from which it drains when melted to a pool of restricted volume, and from this pool it is delivered to a spinneret or other extrusion device. As shown in Fig. 1, small pieces of filament-forming material are sprinkled from a hopper 14 on to a grid 12 consisting of a spiral coil heated internally by circulating fluid or by electrical resistance units. The chamber 11 may contain inert gas. The flakes 15 melt and the drops of liquid 16 form a pool 17. Liquid is withdrawn from the pool, e.g., by a gear metering pump and forced through a spinneret. Each melting unit may supply one or more spinnerets. The rate at which the flakes are fed to the grid is adjusted to the rate of extrusion. The volume of liquid in the pool may be observed by means of windows, or gauges, or by conductivity measurements. An electrode 18 inserted in the liquid is connected in series to a current-meter, battery, and wall of the melt chamber. The maximum volume of the liquid in the pool is preferably restricted to that which will be extruded in one hour. As shown in Fig. 2, chamber 26 is internally heated by steam or other fluid flowing through pipes 28. Chamber 34 is filled with flakes of the filamentforming composition. This chamber may be heated to a temperature well below the melting point of the flakes. A melting-grid 30 is internally heated. The molten material flows into hopper 38 and is forced by pump 42 to the spinneret 46. The hopper 38 becomes full of molten material. Further melting results in a thin layer of liquid above the melting grid. Owing to the low heat conductivity of the liquid further melting is reduced until the liquid. sinks below the grid. Melting is thus automatically adjusted to the rate of extrusion. As shown in Fig. 3, the grid melting unit is in the form of a hollow cone 60 formed from rods or tubing. As shown in Fig. 4 the grid is formed by perforated discs 64 and tubes 68. The grid may be heated by conduction of heat from the outside of the chamber, or by internal circulation of hot vapour or gas or passage of electric current, or by induced current produced in an electrostatic field. The filament-forming substance may be a synthetic linear polyamide, e.g. polyhexamethylene adipamide, or a polyester, polyether, polyacetal, ethylene polymer, vinyl polymer, polystyrene, polyacrylic acid derivative, cellulose acetate, or other cellulose derivative. Specifications 471,590 and 527,532 are referred to.
