Filed: 1941-03-18
Abstract: 548,701. Gauging apparatus. PEMBROKE, G. F., and MOLINS MACHINE CO., Ltd. March 18, 1941, No. 3706. [Class 106 (ii)] Spring-pivoted feeler members mounted on a carrier co-operate with the carrier and certain lever mechanisms and stops, when a reciprocable member is moved forward, to insert the feelers into the bore, and move them to gauging position, the movement of the reciprocable member being a measure of the dimension gauged. Cases 30 are fed as described in Specification 547,947, [Group XXX], on to V-supports 2 with the bases of the cases engaged by vertical guides 3 to ensure correct gauging position. The gauging device comprises the two feeler arms 9, 10 of bell-crank levers pivoted loosely on a spindle 8 carried by the longer arm of a forked member 5 pivotally mounted on a spindle 6 carried by a bracket 4 bolted to the frame 39. The feeler arms 9, 10 have segmental shaped heads 11 to engage the open end of the cartridge case. The feelers are urged towards one another by springs 12. The other arms of the bell-crank levers have extending from them projections 14 providing a V-space into which extends an actuating pin 15 carried by one arm of a bell-crank lever 16 pivoted on the spindle 6, the other arm of which is connected by a pivoted link 18 to the sliding bar 53 forming the spring urged armatures described in Specification 544,478. The longer arm of the carrier 5 also supports a pin 20. A torsion spring 22 tends to rotate the carrier on the spindle 6 towards a fixed stop 21. In use, after the case is positioned, the rod 53 and link 18 move to allow the spring 22 to rotate the carrier and feelers until the former is arrested by the stop 21 when the feelers have been inserted into the case. Continued movement of the link causes the pin 15 to force the feelers apart to engage the inner surface of the case. The extent of the movement of bar 53 is a measure of the diameter of the case, the magnet on bar 53 setting an indicator.

Patent GB-749287-A (GB)
Title: Hydraulic compensating system for presses
IPC: B21J9/12
Filed: 1954-02-11
Abstract: 749,287. Metal-working presses. HYDROPRESS, Inc. Feb. 11, 1954 [Feb. 17, 1953; April 7, 1953], No. 4019/54. Class 83 (4). [Also in Group XXIX] A press is provided with hydraulic means for counteracting any tendency of the movable platen to tilt. In one embodiment a die forging press has a fixed platen 110 on which cylinders 120 are mounted. Contact members 140 carried by a movable platen 111 engage single-acting pistons 121 when the upper die 114 is about to engage the work. The pressure of the liquid in the cylinders 120 is transmitted through lines 123 and cylinders 125 to pistons 126. Pistons 126 force downwardly a movable crosshead 130 of a pressure resisting unit K, thus moving a piston 132 downwardly into a fixed cylinder 133 supplied with liquid from an accumulator. If the platen 111 tends to tilt, the consequent increase in pressure in one of the cylinders 120 will cause the crosshead to move downwardly and thus reduce the pressure in the other cylinder; the differential force on the pistons 121 opposes the tilting movement of the platen. More than one pair of cylinders may be mounted on the fixed platon, and they may all act on a common pressure resisting unit K, which may have a single cross head. Alternatively the unit K may have two crossheads coupled together by tie-rods, one cylinder of each pair being connected to one crosshead, and the other cylinder to the remaining crosshead. In another embodiment several pairs of cylinders are provided on the fixed platen, and each of the associated cylinders 125 A-F is connected by an extension of the associated line 123 to a similary cylinder 225 A-F. The cylinders 225 are diametrically opposite the corresponding cylinders 125 so that any tendency of the crosshead to tilt is avoided.

Title: Repeater for receiving and transmitting data signals
IPC: H03L7/06
Filed: 1977-02-01
Abstract: 1535893 Regenerative repeater NCR CORP 1 Feb 1977 [12 Feb 1976] 4019/77 Heading H4P In the retiming of data passing through a digital repeater, counter 214 is enabled to count pulses from local oscillator 208 at the leading edge of each pulse from ¥-bit pulse width one-shot 206, and is stopped by the leading edge of each pulse from divider 210 providing a data retiming clock, dividers 210 and 212 successively dividing the local oscillator output to provide the retiming clock pulses to data retiming circuit 224. Should the count exceed eight, sample gate 218 is enabled, controlling add/subtract logic 220 causing the subtraction of a clock pulse at divider 212, see (E), Fig. 4 (not shown), retarding the retiming clock. Should the count attain a value in the range three to seven, gate 216 is enabled causing the addition of a pulse, see (E), Fig. 3 (not shown) and hence an advance of the retiming clock. For a count less than two, no action is taken. The arrangement thus acts as a phase lock loop. The incoming data, in phase modulation form with significant and insignificant transitions, is equalized at 200, the differentiated output from zero crossing detector 202 triggering the one shot 206 functioning to blank the insignificant transitions which thus have no effect on counter 214. The zero crossing detector ouput and retiming clock pass to data retimer 224 whose output passes via transmitter 128 to the repeater output. The repeater is included in the data path from a central processor (110) Fig. 1 (not shown) to peripheral units, such as cash registers or financial terminals (102, 104, 106, 108) in a data communication system. Arrangements in the path (112) form the subject of Specification 1,535,892.

Title: Method and apparatus for measuring thickness
Inventor: ALLEN HENRY HANS
IPC: G01B5/06
Filed: 1954-02-12
Abstract: 759,196. Linear dimension gauges; recording apparatus. BRITISH CELANESE, Ltd. Feb. 10, 1955 [Feb. 12, 1954], No. 4200/54. Classes 106 (2) and 106 (4). An apparatus for measuring and recording the variation in thickness of sheet material 69 comprises a stationary thickness gauge 76 having a movable foot 18, a stationary anvil 13 towards which the foot is urged, gauge and anvil being secured rigidly in relation to each other, advancing mechanism 1, 5-9 for forwarding the sheet 69 between the foot and the anvil, advancing mechanism for forwarding the strip 29 of recording material and means 24, 25 for recording variations in the displacement of the foot 18 from the anvil 13 on the strip 29, the advancing mechanism being geared to one another so that the motions of the sheet 69 and of the strip 29 are related. A motor 67 rotates a shaft 66 which through a crank pin 68 causes the rod 8 to oscillate the arm 7 which is spring loaded by a spring 9. A pawl 6 on the arm 7 engaging a ratchet wheel 5 causes the drum 1 to turn through a small distance at each oscillation of the arm 7. At the same time a crank pin 61 rotates about the shaft 66, causing the oscillation of arms 34 and 49 by means of pullcords 56 and 53. The arm 49 causes the intermittent advance of a reel 40 the teeth of which engage perforations in the recording strip 29, a ratchet wheel 47 mounted on the spindle 48 carrying the reel 40 being actuated by a pawl 46 carried by the arm 49. With each movement of the drum 1 a fresh part of the sheet 69 is gauged between the anvil 13 and the foot 18. The gauge 76 has a pen 24 on an arm 25 attached to its spindle. The timing of the respective oscillations of the arms 7 and 34 is such that when the arm 25 is steady the strip 29, backed by a plate 35, is moved by the arm 34 into contact with the pen to record any deviation in the thickness of the corresponding point on the sheet 69. As the cords 56 and 53 lead off from the pin 61 at right angles the strip 29 is not advanced while in contact with the pen 24. An attachment 26 frees the sheet 69 from static electricity by passing it between pads 27, 28 impregnated with a de-electrifying solution. Means are also incorporated to remove dust from the sheet 69, e.g. an electric fan. The relative speeds of sheet and strip may be adjusted.
