Title: Improvements in or relating to crankshafts
IPC: F16C9/04
Filed: 1929-04-02
Abstract: 331,505. Ricardo, H. R. April 2, 1929. Flywheels.-Torsional oscillations in the crankshafts of fluid-pressure engines, pumps or compressors are damped by an annular inertia mass H frictionally mounted on one or more flying or other crank-webs C of circular cross-section centred on the axis of the crankshaft. Two or more spring rings L position the mass and provide frictional contact, and radial holes M facilitate compression of the rings for removal of the mass when desired. An annular space J between the crank-web C and the mass H is sealed by the rings L and contains lubricating oil which is circulated through passages in the crankshaft, thereby constituting a centrifugal separator for the oil, the pressure of which is also useful in exerting a side thrust on the rings, thereby increasing friction between the connected members. The rings may be pegged to the crank-web to prevent their relative rotation and the side thrust may be further increased by the provision of separate springs.

Title: Improvements in or relating to controllers for electric circuits
IPC: B23K11/24
Filed: 1936-04-07
Abstract: 462,264. Electromagnetic switches. IGRANIC ELECTRIC CO., Ltd. April 7, 1936, No. 10249. Convention date, May 2, 1935. [Class 38 (v)] [Also in Group XXXV] An electric circuit control system, which may be employed in conjunction with electric welders, has means to effect the energization of the controlled circuit and a power-operated device rendered operative each time the controlled circuit is energized to effect de-energization thereof subject to a delay, said device having an operating winding and a restraining winding and said delay being caused by the electrical inertia inherent in the circuit of one of said windings. As shown in Fig. 1 applied to an electric welding plant depression of a push-button 7 energizes a main contactor 6 through contacts 10, 11 of a time lag relay 8. The main contacts of the contactor 6 complete the circuit to the primary winding 4 of a welding transformer 3, and the auxiliary contacts 6<a> complete a maintaining circuit for the contactor, this maintaining circuit including the contacts 10, 11 of the relay 8. The latter comprises a pivoted armature 9 subjected to the opposing forces of an operating coil 12 and a restraining coil 13. The coil 13 is normally connected across the supply lines L<1>, L<2> in series with a rectifier bridge 16 .. 19, the current through this coil passing through coils 6 and 12 in parallel but being insufficient to attract their controlled armatures. On depression of push-button 7 and closing of contactor 6, however, the coil 13 and rectifier bridge are shortcircuited both by the push-button and the contacts 6<a> so that the coil is de-energized and by virtue of its inductance commences to discharge through the resistance 22 and the rectifier bridge. Thus after a predetermined time delay the energization of the coil 13 falls to such a value that the energized operating coil 12 overcomes it and attracts the armature 9 breaking the maintaining circuit of the contactor 6 at contacts 10, 11. In modified arrangements the time-delay of operation may be modified by the value of the welding current by the addition of a coil in the time-lag relay which is either directly in or inductively coupled to, the welding transformer circuit.

Title: Line processor
IPC: H04L25/493
Filed: 1978-03-16
Abstract: In telex exchanges, the telex signals arriving via input lines (1) are diverted to output lines (2) according to the respective existing connections. For this purpose, the input lines (1) are cyclically scanned by a multiplexer (3) and the scan results are combined in a first processing stage (I) to form counting code words and stored in a memory (5). Each counting code word indicates the number of scan values obtained consecutively with no change in polarity during a pre-defined number of scans. In a second processing stage (II), the counting code words are combined to form signal elements and furthermore to form code-addressed words and these words are forwarded to a multiplex bus (15). In the opposite direction, code-addressed words are sent from the multiplex bus (15) via a memory (22) to a transmission processor (18) which converts these words in steps into transmission code words. The transmission code words stored in a transmission counting memory (6) are forwarded in steps via a demultiplexer (4) to the output lines (2). <IMAGE>

Title: Improvements relating to the guiding of webs, strips or lengths of materials
IPC: B65H23/02
Filed: 1930-04-03
Abstract: 352,400. Guiding webs. CALICO PRINTERS' ASSOCIATION, Ltd. and YELLAND, N. W., St. James's Buildings, Oxford Street, Manchester. April 3, 1930, No. 10556. [Class 100 (i).] Means for transversely registering a web comprises transverse-guiding means associated with light-sensitive cells controlled by the web. In the apparatus shown in the Figure, a split-fabric web a, b passes under guide rollers n, m, and an image of the split c is reflected by a prism g on to lightsensitive cells i, h arranged in an amplifying circuit adapted to close either of a pair of relay contacts in circuit with solenoids k, j for varying the pressure of the guide rollers. When the web is in register, equal quantities of light are reflected on to the cells and the solenoids are not affected, but when the web is out of register an increased quantity of light falls on one of the cells and the guide rollers cause the web to move laterally. For use with an ordinary web, a beam of light is projected between the selvage and a shutter and on to cells controlling guiding means, lateral deviation of the web causing variations in the quantity of light that falls on the cells. The beam may have light or dark lines or regions on to which the beam is directed, or may have surfaces of different reflective power. Infra-red or ultra-violet light may be employed.

Filed: 1960-03-25
Abstract: 912,327. Wrapping-machines. VERPACKUNGS-UND SCHOKOLADENMASCHINEN DRESDEN VEB. March 25, 1960, No. 10663/60. Class 94(1).  A wrapping machine which is adjustable for articles of various sizes, feeds the articles by conveyer to beneath a folding shaft through which they are forced carrying a wrapper before them, and the folding shaft walls being adjustable for different article dimensions. Articles, such as books 23, fed from an adjustable magazine, Fig. 1 (not shown), are brought into alignment with the shaft and a plunger 16, by the conveyer 6. They then lie beneath a wrapper 27. The plunger thrusts the book and wrapper past folders 24, 24<SP>1</SP> which cause the wrapper to overlap beneath the book. Linked members 25, 25<SP>1</SP>, 26 (see especially Fig. 7) then advance horizontally, the members 25, 25<SP>1</SP> forming end tucks and the members 26 following the chain-dotted path in Fig. 4, to raise the book past members 29, 31, the latter being similar to the elements 24, 24<SP>1</SP>, which fold the wrapper end flaps 27 down and beneath the package. The package joins a stack which moves upwards until it contacts an adjustable feeler 41, Fig. 13. Raising of the feeler causes a cover member 47 to descend beneath the entrance level of an aperture 49 in a plate attached to a plunger 55. A pawl 48 on a reciprocating rod 51 may thus engage the aperture to advance the plunger and eject a stack of packages on to a shoot 42. The folders may include friction strips to assist tight wrapping.
