Title: Improvements in or relating to the manufacture of mineral insulated metal sheathed electric cables
IPC: H01B7/16
Filed: 1953-05-07
Abstract: 724,346. Cables. O'NEILL, A. E. July 14, 1953 [May 7, 1953], No. 12759/53. Class 36. A mineral-insulated cable having a ductile metal sheath is made by compacting powdered insulant about conductors a passing through a nozzle 9, applying one or more ductile metal sheathing strips 10 in concave form to the compacted core issuing from the nozzle 9 and closing the strips 10 around the core, then annealing the cable and subjecting it to a reduction process. The conductors a pass through apertures in a spacer plate 4 and through a reciprocating vibrator or ram 5 in hopper 3. The ram 5 slides in a non-magnetic guide 6 and may be operated by one or more electromagnetic coils 7, 8. Nozzle 9 forms a continuation of guide 6 which is surrounded by insulating material which falls into the nozzle. The metal strip 10 is formed into U-shape by rolls 12 and applied around the tapered end of nozzle 9, the edges of the strip then being brought together about the core by welding rolls 13. Alternatively the sheath may be formed of two metal strips, each of semi-circular cross-section, the edges of which are welded together. A second strip formed from strip 101 may be applied over the first sheath, a thin film of a high melting- point sealing medium being applied between the sheaths. The sides of the hopper and the walls of the sheath may be vibrated by vibrators 14, 15. The hopper 3 may be closed and contain a dry gas above the insulant, the walls of the hopper being heated to dry any air occluded in the insulant. The cable core may include a hollow tube containing nitrogen or other gas under pressure.

Title: Improvements relating to combine harvesters
IPC: A01D41/12
Filed: 1961-04-10
Abstract: 987,568. Combine-harvesters. MASSEYFERGUSON SERVICES N.V. April 10, 1961 [April 11, 1960], No. 12770/61. Heading AlF. [Also in Division B8] A combine-harvester has a pair of graintanks 20, 21 arranged side-by-side to straddle the body 10, a passage 51 interconnecting their bottoms and a conveyer 50 in the passage comprising a component 52 extending from the bottom of one tank towards the other and a second component 53 of greater capacity at the bottom of the other tank for receiving grain from both tanks. As shown, the conveyers 52, 53 are augers of which the auger 53 has the larger diameter and feeds the grain to a discharge elevator 63 comprising an auger 61 in a nearly-vertical tube arranged in two parts 64, 65. The upper part is loosely arranged in a sleeve 74 and is rotatably connected to the lower part by a thrust-bearing 71. A horizontal auger-conveyer 46 discharges the grain laterally and swings with the auger 61 under the control of a hydraulic ram 81. Grain is fed into the tanks by an auger 25 having two ports 33, 34 one of which 33 has a manually-controllable gate 35 so that the input to the two tanks may be balanced. The harvester-body carries a straw-scatterer (Fig. 1, not shown). Specification 987,567 is referred to.

Title: Electric alarm clock
IPC: G04C21/38
Filed: 1968-03-15
Abstract: 1,209,505. Electric alarm clocks. SUNBEAM CORP. March 15, 1968 [April 26, 1967], No. 12839/68. Heading G3T. [Also in Division G1] In an electric alarm clock an electric lamp 27, Fig.5, is energized simultaneously with the sounding of an audible alarm, and an alarm cutoff device is actuated by increasing the amount of light from the lamp 27, as by reflecting the light rays 29 by a hand 113, received by a photoelectric cell 25 associated with electric circuitry operating the cut-off device. The alarm mechanism comprises a gear-wheel 40b, Fig. 4 having a hub 40 carrying an alarm indicator hand 18 Fig. 1 (not shown) and held in a set position by a spring disc 42. When the alarm is to be sounded apertures in the low gear 43 register with projections 40c on the wheel 40b, so that the gear 43 is moved axially by a lever 45 under the action of a spring portion 45f. The lever 45 then releases a lever 57, Fig.2, to permit it to be vibrated via a tab 57a by a toothed wheel 60 on the seconds shaft so that a hammer 58 on the lever 57 strikes the alarm bell 55. In addition to the control by the light actuated cut-off device the alarm is controlled by pulling a plate 62 by means of a chain 75 downwardly against the action of a spring 66 so that a lug 62v on the plate rotates a toothed wheel 70 having alternate shallow and deep notches 72, 73. When the lug 62a engages a deep notch 73 the alarm is operative, but when it engages a shallow notch 72 a tab 62e on the plate 62 engages a tab 57c on the lever 57 to disengage the tab 57a from the toothed wheel 60 to render the alarm ineffective. The lamp 27 of the light actuated alarm cut-off device is energized by closure of a switch 82 by an extension 45d of the lever 45 when the latter is actuated to sound the alarm. The light from the lamp 27 reflected by a hand 113 on to the photo-electric cell 25 produces an electrical pulse which is differentiated by a resistance capacity network 105, 107 Fig. 6 (not shown) and applied to the gate of a field effect transistor controlling a silicon controlled rectifier so that the latter is rendered conducting to energize a solenoid 97 and actuate a plunger 98 to move the plate 62 to stop the alarm. In an alternative clock in which the alarm consists of an electrical buzzer 128 Fig. 8 (not shown), energized when both switches 82 and 83 are closed, a second photoelectric cell is provided which receives ambient light only. The two photo-electric cells are arranged in a Wheatstone network which provides a signal when light reflected by a hand 113 is received by the first cell only. This signal is applied via a transistor circuit to the gate of a silicon controlled rectifier to energize the solenoid 97 to open the switch 83 to stop the alarm.

Title: Improvements in variable-speed mechanism
IPC: F16H33/10
Filed: 1934-05-04
Abstract: 437,950. Variable-speed gearing. WALTON, G. W., 46, Lancaster Gate, London. May 4, 1934, No. 13451. [Class 80 (ii)] [See also Group XX] A gyroscopic fly-wheel 4, carried in a precession ring 3, is mounted in a gimbal-ring 5 which is caused, constrained or permitted to make a complete backward and forward oscillation of say 180 whilst the precession-ring 3 is turned through one revolution, the resulting torque on the driven shaft 1 being thus unidirectional. The gyroscopic fly-wheel 4 and the precession ring 3 are rotated by relative movement between the driven shaft 1 and a driving shaft 14, so that the speed of the latter varies automatically. Three or other number of such gyroscopes, with relative phase displacement, may be used in series, or in parallel, distributed axially along the shaft in the former case, and radially around it in the latter. In Fig. 4, the gimbalring 5 is guided for a 180 oscillation in the driven yoke 2, by spherical links 21, 23 hinged together at 22 and to the members 5, 2 at 8, 24, although these links may be omitted, in which case the oscillations of the ring 5 are self-controlled. The fly-wheel 4 is spun about its axis 6 in the precession-ring 3, and the latter is precessed at half the speed of spin, by toothed or friction bevel-gearing 20, 12, 15, 16, 19, 6, the wheel 19 being fixed in the gimbal-ring 5, whilst the wheel 16 is free to rotate therein, and is provided with a ball thrust-bearing 18. The bevel-pinion 6, secured to the fly-wheel, meshes with both wheels 16, 19 whilst the wheel 15 meshes only with the former. In Fig. 13, the bevel-wheel 19 is replaced by a bevel-wheel 16 also loosely mounted in the gimbal ring 5, either wheel 16, 16a being capable of being fixed thereto whilst the other is driven, by means of a bevel reversing-gear 39, controlled by brake-drums 40, 41, operated by a pivoted brake-shoe 28, so as to provide for a forward or reversed drive through the gear or to disconnect the drive entirely. In Figs. 5, (not shown), the spherical links 21, 23 form the driving member, the hinge-pin 24 being secured to the driving shaft, whilst the pin 8 is secured to the precession-ring 3. The fly-wheel is rotated by a simple bevel-gearing comprising only a pinion secured to its spindle, and a wheel, such as 19 Fig. 4, fixed in the gimbal-ring 5. To provide forward or reversed drive or neutral in this form, Fig. 12, (not shown), utilizes a bevelwheel on each side of the fly-wheel-pinion, either bevel being capable of being locked to the gimbal-ring by controlled positive stops. Abutments are provided on the driven yoke for assisting the links 21, 23 over their dead centres. In Figs. 7 and 8, (not shown), three gyroscopic gears are distributed in parallel around a driving shaft and are driven by engagement of a driving eccentric, with single spherical links such as 21, Fig. 3. The bevelwheels, such as 12, Fig. 4, all engage about a single central bevel-wheel secured to an aligned driven shaft.
