Title: Method and machine for assembling fasteners with washers
Inventor: NIELSEN MORITZ HERLUF
IPC: B23P19/08
Filed: 1951-05-04
Abstract: 704,888. Making washers &c. ILLINOIS TOOL WORKS. May 4, 1951, No. 10544/51. Classes 83 (2) and 83 (4) Shearing; rolling.-In a machine for making assembled screws and washers a strip of washers is continuously fed to a severing device by which individual washers are severed from the strip and the screws are successively meshed with the moving strip in advance of the severing device. The screws are lifted by a reciprocating plate 52 to spaced guides- 54 controlled by a regulating wheel 58 and pass by gravity down a shoot 36 to a shoot 178. The washers in strip form, Fig. 21, not shown, are fed from a rod 20 over a guide 22 to a guide block 30 by a wheel 136 slotted to receive the screw shanks and having teeth 140 engaging lugs on the washer strip. In the shoot 178 the screw heads are engaged by recesses 156 in a continuously rotated assembly wheel 152. A rod 218 with hooked end 226 is engaged by a lever 234 swung about a pin 240 by a wheel 230 and projected against spacing pressure in co-operation with a fixed cam 102 to align a screw shank with a washer. A bar carrying a pin for lateral alignment of the screw is carried by the rod 218. To eject the screws from the wheel a lever 271 with cam nose 272 is housed in the slot in the wheel to move the screw axially as it leaves the guide bar 196. The feed wheel 52 forwards the strip and screws to a severing device comprising rolls 284 with shearing teeth 296 co-operating with shear plates on a combined shear block and feed shoot 304 to sever the washers from the strip. The assembled units fall by gravity along a guide 361 between blocks 360, 362 leading to starter mechanism, 378 of the rolling unit, Fig. 41, comprising a crank reciprocated die 10 co-operating with a stationary die 19. The starter mechanism, Fig. 5, includes a finger 378 withdrawn by a cam 448 against spring pressure and normally in a  forward position to cover the guide 361, Fig. 41,  to retain the screws in the guide. As the screwing die reverses at its rear limit of travel the finger 378 is rapidly moved to uncover the guide and allow a screw to be fed. As the die moves forwards the finger advances to push the screw between the dies and remains in that position. After detachment of the washers the strip is fed through a guide in a block 305 and is comminuted by two fixed outside apertured cutters co-operating with an inner crank-operated apertured cutter, Fig. 9 (not shown). Specification 649,529 is referred to.

Abstract: 952,329. Influencing electromagnetic radiation. K. NOWAK. March 28, 1960 [April 3, 1959], No. 10834/60. Heading H5R. A beam of light or other electromagnetic radiation is stated to be split up into equal numbers of charged particles (photrons) by intense electric or magnetic fields, and the separated positive and negative beams may be used for generating electrical energy. As shown, light from mercury lamp 1 is passed a number of times by mirrors 2, 3, 4 between the plates 5, 6, for example 0.1 mm. apart, between which is applied a voltage between 1 and 100 kv. The resulting separated beams are deflected by a split mirror 7 to electrodes 8, 9. A coil 11 may be mechanically influenced by the beam. The light may be polarized by a magnetic field 15 around the light source or by a separate polarizer.

Title: Electric elbow connector
IPC: H01R43/00
Filed: 1972-03-08
Abstract: 1382146 Electric couplings KEARNEY NATIONAL Inc 8 March 1972 [9 Sept 1971] 10861/72 Heading H2E  In an elbow connector a wire receiving sleeve 5 is connected to a contact pin 4 by an aluminium alloy block 9, the assembly being enclosed in a housing (1, Figs. 1 and 2, not shown) of yielding insulating material. The sleeve 6 has a thin shank 7 at one end which fits loosely in a hole 8 in the block 9. The pin has a threaded portion 10 which is screwed into a second hole in the block 9 until the end 11 abuts tightly against the shank 7. When the pin 4 is screwed tight the friction acts over an area nearer the axis than in prior art devices where a shoulder (corresponding to 26) abuts the surface of the shank. Less torque is therefore required to tighten the pin to a given contact force. The hole 8 stretches slightly, and the elasticity of the block 9 thereafter maintains constant contact force despite movements due to temperature changes. The block 9 is square and is forced into a complementary cavity in the housing (1) with the aid of a tool (T1, Fig. 4, not shown) temporarily screwed into it in place of the pin. A groove G engages a ridge in the housing to prevent movement. The pin 4 is screwed into the block with a tool (T2, Fig. 5, not shown) comprising a piece of stiff wire with one end fitting a hole 20 in the pin. The pin 4 has an insulating end 14. The sleeve 5 is clamped or crimped to the wire 2. Before the pin 4 is screwed tight the connector is rotated relative to the sleeve 5 and wire 2 to align the pin 4 with a fixed terminal.

Title: Combined feed valve for water heaters
IPC: F24H9/20
Filed: 1928-04-14
Abstract: 304,529. Schiltz, L., and Schiltz, J. April 14, 1928. Fluid-actuated fuel valves for water heaters.- The gas supply valve of a geyser &c. is automatically opened by the pressure of the inflowing cold water acting through a piston, the connection between the piston and valve being effected through the medium of an independent member which is only interposed when hot water is required. The member is operatively connected to the pilot jet. The cold water entering a pipe 1 passes through an opening, throttled by a screw plug 4, to the supply pipe 3. In its passage, it acts upon a piston 2 carrying a rod 5 co-axial with the stem 8 of a spring pressed valve 7 which normally closes the passage between the inlet 11 and outlet 10 of the gas supply to the burner. The movement of the piston rod is only transmitted to the valve stem when the gap therebetween is occupied by a plunger 9 mounted in an arm 22 carried by the stem 20 of the pilot jet 13 which is rotatably mounted in a bracket 15 on the casing. The pilot jet 13, and with it the arm 22, can only be swung into operative position when the pilot cock 23 is turned on, the cock handle 23<1> being obstructed by the bracket 15 when down. The piston 2 is normally pressed down by a spring 6 seated in an annular recess in the casing, the space communicating through a passage 19 with the pipe 3 so that water flows to the back of the piston. The flow is regulated by an adjustable flap 17 to control the rate of opening and closing of the gas valve. A screw 21 in the end of the plunger 9 enables its effective length to be adjusted.
