Abstract: The bobbin sleeve feed unit (12), to transfer a sleeve from a store to the bobbin winding station to wind cross wound bobbins, has a sleeve grip (24) which automatically matches the diameter of the empty bobbin sleeve (14). During the transfer movement, the longitudinal axis (57) of the bobbin sleeve is aligned in the transfer position with the rotary axis of the sleeve holding plate at the bobbin frame, independently of the sleeve shape and diameter. The bobbin sleeve feed mechanism, for a bobbin winder, has a pressure stamp (54) which slides along the empty bobbin sleeve and with a restricted swing movement on swing axes (37,38). The pressure plate (56) has a tilting movement, with a functional link to the paired gripping fingers (35,36). The pressure stamp has a buffer spring within a hollow body, which slides within a holder at the gripper base body (31). The connecting bracket (53) of the hollow body has a swing drive arm (28), which is tripped by the switch rod (23) at the workstation of the bobbin frame. The tilting plate of the pressure stamp is linked to the gripper fingers through strap slides (43), in relation to the sleeve axis. The slides have an elongated hole holder (60) to define the setting movements of sliding connectors (41), in turn linked to the gripping fingers through control rods (39). The movements of the gripping fingers are defined by the slides, the connectors and the control rods. The connectors slide along guide rails (48) at the base body of the sleeve grip unit, and are held in place by holding plates (45) at the setting for the gripping fingers to take an empty bobbin sleeve. The base body of the grip unit is on a sliding mounting at the base frame (20) of the bobbin sleeve feed assembly. The switch rod is at the base frame to give a spatial movement to the base body and also a defined operation of the sleeve grip, with a switch arm operated at the workstation. The spatial movement and/or operation of the bobbin sleeve grip is through an electric drive near the base frame. The bobbin sleeve grip is mounted to a cross beam, over the workstations of the bobbin winder, or it can be a component part of a mobile maintenance unit, which travels along the line of workstations, to serve them when required. The mobile maintenance unit travels on a guide rail, over the workstations, linked to a central control for the bobbin winder.

Abstract: A rotary fluid machine, such as a pump or motor, is provided with a fluid flow control mechanism that allows the flow of fluid to be easily and precisely controlled. The device has a housing with a spherical interior in which primary and secondary vanes rotate, with the secondary vane reciprocating between open and closed positions. The primary and secondary vanes define fluid chambers within the housing that communicate with inlet and outlet ports of the device. An adjustable fixed shaft, about which the secondary vane rotates, allows the degree of communication to be varied between the inlet and outlet ports and the chambers formed by the primary and secondary vanes. In this way, the flow rate or fluid capacity of the device, and even the direction of fluid flow, can be changed.

Abstract: A method of constructing a polymer support frame (10) over which woven wire cloth (158,159) is to be stretched and secured to form a sifting screen is described. The method comprises the steps of locating a reinforcing wire frame assembly in a mould tool. The wire frame comprises two parallel spaced apart arrays of reinforcing wires (48,50,54,56,60,62,64). After closing the mould, liquid polymer is injected into the mould tool so as to wholly encapsulate the wire frame and to form an article having an open central region criss-crossed by intersecting orthogonal ribs (14,16) bounded on all sides by a rigid flange. Each of the ribs (14,16) contains two of the parallel spaced apart wires of the frame assembly. After permitting the polymer to cure, the tool is opened and the article is removed. The wire frame assembly is located and held in shape and position by applying an inward force on opposite faces of the wire frame assembly within the mould tool, by fingers protruding inwardly from inside faces of the tool. The fingers engage the wire matrices when the tool closes. The polymer is typically a glass-reinforced plastics material, and in order to assist in bonding the wire cloth to the support frame (10) the faces of peripheral edge regions of the support frame (10) over which woven cloth (158,159) is laid and to which the cloth (158,159) is to be bonded by heating, are formed during moulding with a plurality of substantially parallel ridges (30,32).
