Title: Clutch
IPC: F16D27/115
Filed: 1957-08-19
Abstract: 863,798. Friction clutches gearing for stopping and starting machinery. BORG-WARNER CORPORATION. Aug. 19, 1957 [Sept. 11, 1956], No. 26105/57. Class 80 (2). Cushioned engagement of a multi-disc clutch 21 between driving and driven shafts 11, 15 is obtained by movement leftwards of Fig. 1 of a non-rotary cam-plate 39 allowing a reaction plate 38 and pins 32 to move similarly under the influence of a number of springs 36 each surrounding a pin, the pins 32 being of different lengths so that they engage one after the other with a pressure-plate 27. Slipping of the discs 21 on the initiation of engagement is thereby facilitated. The reaction plate 38 rotates with the driven half of the clutch and is connected to the cam-plate 39 by bearing balls 43. Power from the driving-shaft 11 is taken through a train of shafts and gears 58, 57, 56, 51 to a simple countershaft reversing gear 49, 50, 53, 64 including two electromagnetically-controlled clutches C1, C2, the gears 49, 50 meshing a gear 45 driving caged balls 40 co-operating with cam slopes 39a on the cam disc 39. To engage the clutch discs 21, a switch 66 is opened by hand, thus engaging the electromagnetic clutch C2 and disengaging the clutch C1, so that the gear 45 is rotated in the direction of the arrow X. The cam balls 40 then run down the cam slopes 39a and the cam disc 39 moves leftwards of Fig. 1 for clutch engagement as already described. To disengage the clutch, the switch 66 is closed, thus causing the electromagnetic clutch C2 to engage and simultaneously causing the electromagnetic clutch C1 to disengage. The gear 45 then turns in the direction of the arrow Y, and the cam balls 40 run up the cam slopes 39a, moving the cam disc 39 to the right and withdrawing the pins 32 from the pressure-plate 27. When the cam balls 40 reach the end of the cam slopes 39a, a projection 71 on the cam disc engages a microswitch 68 which is opened to cause disengagement of the electromagnetic clutch C1. Both clutches C1, C2 then remain disengaged, together with the main clutch 21, until the switch 66 is again opened. As a modification, Figs. 3, 4 (not shown), the two electromagnetic clutches C1, C2 are arranged on separate shafts.

Each arm carries on its end a gripper means 18, 30, 28, 29, having flap means 33 normally spring-urged towards the drum surface, but held in open position when engaged by either of two stops 17, 31 or by a preceding arm. The steps are movable between the position shown, with the stop 17 in the path of the gripper means, and a position wherein the stop 31 is in the path of the gripper means, by a solenoid 32. Gripper means held by the stop 17 are outside the path 131 of an arriving document. In operation, an arriving document is sensed by a photo-electric detector which energizes the solenoid to release an arm waiting at the stop 17, the arm moving to the stop 31 ready to receive the document. On release or reversal of the solenoid the gripper flap 33 clamps the document against ribs 3-6 on the drum and carries the document to stacking position, while the following arm stops at the stop 17. At the stacking position, abutments 36 strip the document from the gripper means and stack it on edge against a spring-pressed member 302. Two or more devices as described may be positioned along the document path, one being rendered operative by a signal from a detector sensing a marking on the document, and each being associated with a stacking device, so that documents are directed to selected receptacles.

IPC: C08J3/21
Filed: 1929-08-30
Abstract: 338,975. Dunlop Rubber Co., Ltd., Murphy, E. A., Niven, A., and Twiss, D. F. Aug. 60, 1929. Latex, coagulating; indiarubber compositions. - Compounded, crumb-like, compositions of rubber are made in coagulating aqueous dispersions of rubber or similar material, by precipitation in situ_, in relatively large amounts on the dry rubber content, of compounding ingredients formed by the interaction of one or more water soluble reagents, having normally no coagulative effect, with one or more wa.ter soluble reagents added thereto. As examples of the final precipitate are magnesium, calcium and zinc carbonates magnesium, aluminium, calcium, barium and zinc silicates, silicic acid, and zinc, cadmium and lead sulphides. Reagents may be so chosen that only one soluble reaction product results for two or more insoluble products, e.g. the reaction between one equivalent of sodium carbonate with one equivalent of magnesium sulphate followed by one equivalent of barium chloride yields one equivalent of sodium chloride for two equivalents of mixed precipitate. The rate at which crumbing takes place may be controlled by the addition of such substances as soaps, and the fineness of subdivision of the precipitate may be controlled by the addition of protective colloids such as glue or gum acacia, to the solution of the reagents. It is preferable to carry out the compounding while, stirring or agitating. However intermediary compositions containing the precipitate and rubber and which although coagulated are not crumb-like, may be obtained in this condition by agitation. An example is given showing the compounding of magnesium silicate. Specifications 219,635 and 290,313 are referred to.

Abstract: 264,258. Wade, H., (Naamlooze Vennootschap Philips' Gloeilampenfabrieken). Oct. 22, 1925. Drawings to Specification. Vacuum tubes; low-pressure metallic-vapour apparatus.-Potassium, caesium or rubidium are introduced into electric discharge tubes by introducing into the tube or into a receptacle connected thereto a mixture of one or more compounds of potassium, caesium or rubidium with one or more azides of barium or other metals of the second principal group of the periodic system and heating. The mixture may be introduced in a solid state or in the form of a solution, the sol. vent of which volatilizes when the tube is evacuated. After sealing the tube, the mixture is gently heated and the azide decomposes, the metal of the second group then reducing the compounds of potassium &c. to metal and the alkali metal produced volatilizing. A mixture of caesium chloride and barium azide mav be used. The process is applicable to tubes with incandes. cent or cold cathodes, the alkali metal forming a thin layer on, and increasing the electron emission of, incandescent cathodes and combining with residual gases.

Abstract: 1,192,014. Air cushion vehicles. HOVERCRAFT DEVELOPMENT Ltd. 8 June, 1967 [15 June, 1966], No. 26745/66. Heading B7K. An air cushion supporting unit comprises a base member 9 to which are attached a plurality of inflatable U-section members 17 of the form disclosed in Specification 1,043,351. The base member 9 is carried by the ram of an hydraulic spring unit 7 and air is supplied to the cushion space 8 through conduit 11 from duet 12 which is fed by a fan driven by a variable-speed motor whereby the pressure of the cushion may be so adjusted that the upward loading on member 9 balances the downward force exerted by unit 7 with the inwardly inclined walls 20 of the skirt compressed into contact with the ground. Should the supporting unit traverse a depression 23 in the ground the walls of the skirt will extend thereby reducing the surface-engaging area of the cushion and the upward force exerted against the action of unit 7 which will then urge the supporting unit down to a position of equilibrium. The reverse action would be initiated if the skirt were further compressed by enegagement with a ground surface protuberance.

Abstract: 1,006,977. Wired television distribution. P. FANNOY. July 5, 1963 [May 13, 1963], No. 26767/63. Heading H4R. In a multichannel wired television distribution service the subscribers are provided with means whereby they may select, to have transmitted to them, any of a substantial number of programmes stored at the station, the programme being transmitted to the subscriber over a free channel. The service may be fully automatic at the transmitter station or may be manually operated by an operator who receives a telephone message and selects the appropriate programme and transmits it over a free channel. Fig. 2 shows the automatic system in which a number of programme sources 1, e.g. transparencies, films, or video tapes, may be played on a smaller or equal number of reproducers 2 and the resulting programme transmitted by channel transmitters 3 via a mixer 4 over cables 11 to any of a number of receivers, e.g. B. Each receiver comprises a display means 8 and a selecting means 7 which includes a start button 13 the operation of which initiates the selecting mechanism by causing the channel selector 10 to search the channels in cables 11 to find one which is not being used. When a free channel is found oscillator 9 is energized to transmit a signal peculiar to that channel to the transmitting station A, and to produce an audible or visual indication at the receiver that a free channel has been found. The subscriber then dials a code on selector 7 corresponding to the programme he wishes to receive, signals are transmitted, e.g. as modulation of the oscillator 9, to control programme selector 5 at the transmitter. The programme selector connects the appropriate programme source 1 to a reproducer 2, and the programme is transmitted via transmitter 3 and mixer 4, over the appropriate channel in one of the cables 11, to the receiver B which has been automatically tuned by its channel selector 10 so that the programme is displayed on the C.R.T. 8. In a manually operated system the subscriber telephones the transmitting station, possibly over the public telephone network, and the operator at the station selects and arranges the transmission of the required programme.
