Title: Electron-gun system having a replaceable cathode
Inventor: HOGG HEINRICH
IPC: H01J29/48
Filed: 1969-05-12
Abstract: 1,236,306. Cathode-ray tube. EIDOPHOR A.G. 12 May, 1969 [15 May, 1968], No. 24174/69. Heading H1D. The cathode of a cathode-ray tube is replaceable in a mounting provided with vacuum seals at both ends, an interlock being provided so that only one seal may be open at once. In Fig. 1 a brass mounting block 1 is sealed at 3 to an insulating part 2 of the envelope in which is mounted an anode 4 which can be centered by means of screws 7 acting against springs 6. A brass control electrode 10 is mounted on the block 1, and a cylindrical cathode cartridge 8 is mounted in an axial bore 23 in the block, clearances (29, Fig. 12, not shown) being provided to allow passage of gas down the bore. Between electrode 10 at the block 1 are situated two generally triangular plates 15 and 16 pivoted near one corner 17 and urged towards each other by a spring 18 and ball 19. A ball 20 is mounted in a recess in one plate 15, and in the position shown lies partly in a countersunk recess in the other plate 16. A serrated edge of plate 15 is engaged by a gear 12 rotatable by an external handle 13 so that the plate 15 can be rotated to close the aperture at the inner end of bore 23; near the limit of rotation the plate 16 meets a stop (not shown) so that the ball 20 rides out of the recess in plate 16 and presses the plate 16 against sealing ring 21. The external closure comprises a rotatable plate 30 provided with a bore 42 through which cathode cartridges may pass, and with a bore 43 sealed by an insulating plate carrying spring-loaded contacts adapted to engage the cathode catridge. The plate 30 is free to rotate on edge mounted balls 31, Fig. 7, held in apertures in a ring 32 and running in helical ball-races in segments 34-36. An arm 41 attached to the plate 30 has aperture which is engaged by a pin 52 when the plate is pressed against the sealing ring 22, Fig. 1, so that the plate cannot be rotated until it is moved clear of the sealing ring by rotation of the ring 32. The operating handle 13 is adapted to enter a recessed portion of the intermediate ring 32 when the front seal is open, thereby preventing the rear seal from being opened. When the front seal is closed and the rear seal open, the plate 30 fills the cut-out portion of handle 13 (Fig. 8, not shown) thereby preventing the front seal from being opened. The cathode-ray tube may be of the type wherein light is projected through a screen which is deformable by the electron beam, and should have a volume more than 10,000 times that of the cathode space to ensure rapid re-evacuation after changing a cathode.

Title: Lifting gear of agricultural machines
IPC: A01D80/00
Filed: 1946-08-14
Abstract: 615,845. Agricultural machines. HALLEWELL, G., and BLACKSTONE & CO., Ltd. Aug. 14, 1946, No. 24202. [Classes 6 (i) and 6 (iii)] An agricultural machine with self-lift gear includes a driven member, lifting mechanism comprising a linkage operatively connecting the said member with the working tool and means to adjust the position of a pivotal connection at which a member of the lifting mechanism operates upon another, the adjustment being effected by movement along a line so chosen that the movement does not substantially affect the fully lifted position while varying the mechanical ratio exerted between movement of the lifting gear and movement of the tool from its fully lifted towards its working position. The lifting gear 1 is mounted on the axle 2 and includes a clutch and eccentric operating an eccentric strap 12. An actuating lever 13 on said strap is pivotally attached to a transmission lever 14 which is rigidly attached to a lifting shaft 4 which through a system of levers raises the tine bar fliers 7, 8. A slot is formed in the lever 14 in which a pin on the lever 13 engages, said pin carrying a block 16 through which a screw 19 operates. A trip lever co-operates with the eccentric and allows it a half revolution turn, the eccentric being stopped at either its highest or lowest position. In the latter case the tools are in the raised position. The working height is varied by movement of the screw 19 in the slot changing the effective length of the lever 14 and so the extent to which the shaft 4 is turned. The raised position remains constant as the slot is formed on an arc having its centre coincident with that of the eccentric in its lowest position. Specification 441,857 is referred to.
