Patent GB-680601-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in or relating to time delay control of electrical apparatus
IPC: H01H43/28
Filed: 1951-02-10
Abstract: 680,601. Controllers; switches held set and freed mechanically. TIPPING, F. C. May 7, 1951 [Feb. 10, 1951], No. 3300/51. Classes 38 (iii) and 38 (v) Relates to means, -for automatically switching off the electric driving motor of a machine at the end of a predetermined period after the machine has ceased to be driven. When the machine is in motion a striker arm 15 is oscillated by a driven part of the machine such as a centrifugally operated cam. This causes a spring-loaded push-rod 14 to be raised and a pivoted lever 13 reciprocated so that a spring-loaded piston 12 and parallel-connected mercury switches 32 are moved to and retained in their uppermost positions. The piston movement causes the inner cylinder of a dashpot 11 to fill with oil. When the apparatus is in the normal position shown, one mercury switch is open and the other closed. During the upward movement, the normally open switch closes and subsequently the normally closed switch opens so maintaining the closure of a push-button operated contactor through which the motor is energised. When the machine is declutched the striker arm 15 ceases to move and returns to the equilibrium position shown. The piston 12 slowly descends at a rate determined by the setting of screw 22 of a throttle valve. During the descent both mercury switches open to disconnect the motor, the switches finally returning to their normal position. The dashpot comprises a double-walled cylinder, the space between the walls acting as an oil reservoir, the inner wall having a one-way valve 21, in addition to the throttle valve, for allowing oil to pass to the inner cylinder. The upper part of the inner cylinder wall is perforated so that, when the piston is raised, the passage of oil through the valve is enhanced by the air behind the piston passing into the space between the walls under pressure. A screw 37 adjusts the angular separation of the mercury switches.

Filed: 1919-02-11
Abstract: 142,917. Wade, H., (American Type Founders Co.). Feb. 11, 1919. Gripper-mechanism. - The final portion of the gripping movement of the grippers on the impression cylinder is effected by co-operating parts on the cylinder and frame respectively independently of the continuously-moving member for operating and controlling the grippers generally, in order to ensure accurate register and avoid effects of lost motion or back-lash in the general operating-gear. As shown in Figs. 1 and 4 applied to a two-revolution press, the gripper fingers 30 are adjustably clamped on a shaft 29 'which is rocked through bevel-gear 28, 27 and a pinion 26 engaging a rack 25 on a rod 15 movable longitudinally against a spring. 16 in a central bore in the shaft 11 of the impression cylinder 10 by means of a lever 21 operated by a face-cain 24. The operative face of this rotating cam for closing the grippers is shown in Fig. 4, and the part 36 acting on the pawl 23 on the lever 21 effects the first part of the closing. At the position shown, an arm 38 on the gripper shaft comes against a pawl 39 carried by a part 40 on the cap 14 of the cylinder bearing, and is rocked thereby to effect the final closing of the grippers, after which the cam 24 again assumes control.

Filed: 1923-02-06
Abstract: 202,948. Westinghouse Brake & Saxby Signal Co., Ltd., (Assignees of Hobson, J. S.). Aug. 24, 1922, [Convention date]. Lamp signals.-A lamp signal is provided with means whereby a light-beam indication is given to the driver of a train which has just passed the signal, that the signal is functioning to give a " danger " signal to a following train approaching the signal, the arrangement being such that the axis of the indication beam does not pass through the source of light. The signal shown comprises three units P, C, S adapted to give " safety," " caution." and " danger " signals respectively. Each unit comprises a main lamp 3 situated at the focus of a lens system 4 for giving a signal beam towards the oncoming train, a screen, or the lenses themselves, being suitably coloured, say green, yellow, and red in the respective units, and an auxiliary lamp 5 some distance from the focus of the lens 4. A reflector 6 brings rays from lamp 5 to a focus coincident with the focus of lens 4, so that the lamp gives a faint short-distance signal in case the main lamp 3 has failed. The stop signal is provided with a lens 8 through which light passes from the main lamp 3 on to a mirror 10 which reflects a colourless beam through a ground glass window 11 in the rear wall (in form of a door 2a) of the signal casing, the window having a hood 12. This beam indicates to the driver of the passed train that the lamp 3 has functioned properly. Owing to its position, and a screen 7, lamp 5, if functioning alone when lamp 3 has failed, gives no such indication.

[Class 103 (i)] [See also Group XXIX] In hydraulic transmission devices in which a transmitter piston is controlled mechanically or hydraulically, a lost-motion connection is interposed between the mechanical and hydraulic controls. In the form shown, the transmitter piston 4a is moved by a rod 4 against the action of a spring 156 during the initial part of the movement of a pedal 201, to force liquid through ports 23 to act on pistons 19<1>, 19<2> which act on levers 34, 37 to operate brake gear 180. During this action, liquid delivered by a pump 160 is returned to its supply tank 161 through a valve 165 in a, pipe 164. When the pedal is moved so far that the rod. 191. closes the valve 165, the pump delivery passes through a pipe 166 to act on a piston 4b also mounted on the rod 4, and the piston 4a forces liquid at a higher pressure, the provision of a lost-motion connection 150 preventing the hydraulic control from reacting on the pedal. A spring 192 and a relief valve 193 are provided.

In a tube comprising at least one ply of helically wound strip 1 of paper or like material having on one surface a coating 3 of impermeable material such as polyethylene, the longitudinal margins 4 of the strip are folded to overlie the paper surface thereof and thus expose marginal portions 5 of the coating with respect to the paper surface, and there is provided a sealing strip 6 of paper or like material having on one surface a coating 8 of impermeable material superposed on the marginal portions 5, the coatings of the latter and strip being in face-to-face relationship and secured together. As shown, the strip 1 passes through a pair of guides 23, which fold back the margins 4, and over wheels 24 dipping into a bath of cold-setting or thermoplastic adhesive and applying stripes 9 of adhesive to the portions 5, the strip then being wound helically on to a rotatable mandrel 20; the sealing strip 6 is wound helically over the portions 5 and pressed on to the latter by rolls 25. Alternatively, the stripes of adhesive are 'applied by wheels 26 to the strip 6. The heat generated during the winding of the strips is dissipated by internally water-cooling the mandrel and thus preventing the coating of polyethylene on the inside of the tube clinging to the mandrel. An adhesive or priming coat may be used to anchor the polyethylene coating to the paper, and the coatings on the portions 5 and strip 6 may be welded together instead of secured by adhesive.
