Abstract: 454,281. Boxes. PAFFARD, H. K., and FOSTER CLARK, Ltd., Hart Street, Maidstone. April 24, 1935, No. 12378. [Class 18] [See also Group XVIII] Two tongues, which engage with the ends of an article, packet, or the like, are cut, in adjacent positions, from the lid of a display box. The lid of the box is cut to produce a forked tongue 4, the material between the limbs forming another tongue 5. By means of the tongues, a packet 2 is attached to the lid so that it will be displayed on opening, and returned to its normal position in the box on closing, the lid. Fig. 4 shows various positions 4, 4<1>, 5, of the tongues for securing the packet (the flap 5 may be passed between the bottom of the rear of the wrapper and the back of the packet). Preferably the forked tongue, which may have two separate limbs, is the upper, but may be the lower one, or the tongues may engage the sides of the packet. The tongues may be scored if desired. When the lid is to remain permanently open, the tongues may be arranged in any position. More than one packet may be so supported. The lid may be supported in the open position by a cord or cords, or struts or stays at the back or front; e.g. a piece of cardboard provided with struts 11 may be stapled to the back of the box, the struts being folded over the lid for transport, or bent along score lines 13 into the operative position, and retained there by interengaging notches 14, provided at their tips.

The two frames C<2>, C<3> are raised and lowered simultaneously by means of a hand- or power-driven transverse shaft C<6> which drives (1) a pinion C' carried by each frame C<2> and gearing with a toothed sector a<1> on the vehicle frame A, thus raising and lowering the frame C<2>, and (2) a screwed shaft C' acting on the toggle links c<9> provided between the frames C<2>, C<3>, to raise and lower the latter frame. The frame C<2> is locked in its lower position by a bolt A<2> and the toggle links are arranged to pass their dead centres and abut against a stop c<9x> to lock the frame C<3> in its lower position. The shaft C<6> is driven from the engine shaft D through a clutch d, chain gearing, and reversing gearing combined with friction clutches in a box E. The reversing gear is controlled by a hand lever E<1> which also operates the bolt A<2> locking the main track frame C<2> and clutches B<2>, Fig. 3, or other means determining whether the road wheels or the tracks are driven. The driving sprocket wheels C<1> of the tracks are mounted loosely on the driving-wheel axles and are driven either directly from the differential axle-shafts b<x> through the clutches B<2> or from the differential planet-carrier through the epicyclic gearing shown in Fig. 9. In the construction where the drive is transmitted to the tracks through the differential gear and the clutches B<2>, steering is effected by means of brakes acting on the sprocket wheels and applied one at a time by the steering hand-wheel. These brakes may also be operated independently of each other by separate hand levers d<5xx>. In the construction shown in Fig. 9, the differential casing D<3> carries internallytoothed rings d' gearing with planet pinions d' carried by sleeves D<4>x fixed to the sprocket wheels, the sun pinions D<5> of the epicyclic train being adapted to be held stationary by means of brake drums d<5>. In this construction the road wheels are always driven, and the tracks are only driven when the brakes d<5> are applied. These brakes are controlled independently by hand levers (not shown) and also are connected with the sprocket-wheel brakes to the steering handwheel so that when the latter is rotated one or other sun-wheel brake is released and the corresponding sprocket wheel is braked. An emergency hand-operated gear is provided for raising and lowering the tracks if the poweroperated gear fails.

Title: Method of and means for the production of helically toothed involute gears
IPC: B23F5/06
Filed: 1974-03-22
Abstract: 1459631 Producing internal helical gears; gauging MAAG GEAR WHEEL & MACHINE CO Ltd 22 March 1974 [26 March 1973] 12897/74 Headings B3K and B3B  In a method of producing a helically toothed internal involute gear by a generating process using longitudinal grinding techniques in which relative movements between the grinding wheel and the gear with respect to the tooth depth provide generating and feed displacements and cutting strokes are made substantially along the direction of the width of the gear face by guiding the grinding tool along a path that causes an active grinding point of the tool to follow a straight generatrix of the involute helical tooth surface and deflecting the grinding tool from said path immediately before the tool reaches the root surface of the gear. Apparatus for machining a gear by the method above comprises a tool carriage 11 which carries at least one grinding wheel 13 and which is actuated to perform cutting strokes along the length of the gear tooth flank face, a workpiece slide 2 with a rotary table 3 on which the workpiece gear 33 is mounted and means causing the control simultaneous movement of the tool slide and workpiece 33 in which the workpiece is caused to roll on a circle on a base circle of a given diameter by the simultaneous rotation of the table 3 and transverse movement of the slide 2 whereby the cutting region of the grinding wheel is caused to follow a straight generating line. The tool carriage 11 is supported on a guide 10 on the support 9 and the grinding tool holders 16 and 17 are pivotally mounted on the adjusting slides 14 and 15 respectively on the carriage 11 and means for pivoting the tool holders to deflect the grinding wheels 13, is in the form of a cam 22 actuated by a stepping motor 25, 26 one for each tool holder. To establish the stroke position of the grinding wheel an indicator 29 on the tool carriage meshes with a rack 30 on the guide 10 and a further position indicator 31 mounted on the bed 1 meshes with a rack 32 on the slide 2 and indicates the transverse position of the slide 2. The whole operation is controlled by computer which receives signals from the indicators 29 and 31 which in course of the machining operation cause the operation of the stepping motors 25 and 26 to effect movement of the grinding tools away from the root region of the successive teeth of the gear, the cutting action of the grinding wheels being a series of strokes along the surface of a tooth flank substantially in the longitudinal direction of the tooth (see Fig. 3) the grinding wheels being deflected away from the root of the respective tooth on that stroke near the end of the operation in which a full traverse of the grinding wheel is not possible.
