Filed: 1934-12-03
Abstract: 446,195. Finishing fabrics. MATHER & PLATT, Ltd., Park Works, Newton Heath, Manchester, and HANNAY, R. J., Braeside, Hurst Lane, Bollington, near Macclesfield. Dec. 3, 1934, No. 34674. [Class 42 (i)] CrÛpe effects; producing.-The warp threads are over shrunk during the crÛpeing by chemicals &c., and are subsequently stretched to leave the warp threads with the desired shrinkage for the predetermined crepe effect. As shown, the said stretching is effected between tentering chains and rollers b, c, d, e which feed the fabric to the chains. These rollers are driven at a lower speed than the chain by variable-speed gearing e<1>, f, g. The rollers b, c, d, e may be inclined so as to stretch the fabric laterally and be arranged in conjunction with feelers to guide the fabric.

Abstract: 758,626. Fishing reels. MOMBUR, G. Nov. 30, 1954 [Jan. 21, 1954], No. 34708/54. Class 48. In a fishing reel of the type comprising a spool 2 stationary at casting and having at line recovery an axial reciprocating motion inside a rotating head 7 carrying a pick-up 8, means are provided to interlock in rotation the spool 2 and the rotating head 7 for removing twists from the line. The spool is non-rotatably mounted on a rotatable shaft 1 extending through a rotatable tubular shaft 5 mounted in a bearing 4 and supporting the rotating head 7 and a pinion 6 engaging a toothed disc coupled to the crank. A clutch 10 is slidably but non-rotatably mounted on a square portion 9 of the shaft 1 and has square ends adapted to engage selectively a square hole in the pinion 6 to cause the spool to rotate with the rotating head or a square hole in fixed partition 17 to prevent the spool from rotating. The clutch is moved axially by a fork 18 engaging a groove in the clutch. The shaft 1 is reciprocated by a member 14 rotatably mounted on the shaft but fixed axially therewith by end washers 15, 16.

Abstract: 994,874. Valves. BOVING & CO. Ltd. Sept. 28, 1961 [Oct. 11, 1960], No. 34759/60. Heading F2V. The shaft 3, Fig. 3, of a butterfly valve is offset from the plane of the valve rim and may be actuated from a hand wheel through a gearbox. The valve rim is provided with a continuous flat-packing ring 4 held by a clamping member 5, which ring 4 coacts with a seat annulus 7; the ring 4 is of flexible natural or synthetic rubber which may be laminated with textile reinforcement, the ring periphery 11 being of frusto-conical form. The angle A of the ring periphery is equal to the angle B by which the shaft axis is offset from the plane of the butterfly rim so that a mean perpendicular C from the periphery 11 bisects the shaft axis at D, which perpendicular defines the radius of the spherical surface 12, Fig. 4, of the annulus 7 that is centred on D, which latter is positioned mid-way along the shaft 3. The periphery 11 meets the surface 12 chordwise, so providing two line-contact sealing-lips 13, 14 which deflect under fluid pressure to enhance the sealing effect.

Title: Measuring of Pulse Amplitudes
IPC: G01R19/00

Abstract: 1, 197,302. Measuring pulse amplitude. TELEFONAKTIEBOLAGET L.M. ERICSSON. Aug. 4, 1967 [Aug. 5, 1966], No.35893/67. Heading G1U. In measuring the amplitude of pulses in a pulse train, intermediate pulses are formed corresponding in a predetermined manner to the pulses of the train, ramp signals are formed, the width of each ramp signal corresponding to that of an intermediate pulse, and a ramp signal is compared with a reference voltage and upon coincidence of their valves, the voltage of the pulse train is sampled. As shown, the height of a pulse is measured by sampling the train during that pulse and during an adjacent inter-pulse space by electronic switches 2 and 3 respectively, storing the sampled voltage on capacitors 4 and 5 and comparing the stored values with a meter 6. The switches are controlled by pulse generators 7, 9 each comprising a circuit 10, Fig. 2, forming normalized (intermediate) pulses Fig. 3b (not shown), a ramp signal generator 11 and a voltage comparator 12 which compares each ramp signal with a reference signal (E 1 , Fig. 3c) derived by a potentiometer R 1 , R2 and a circuit 13 forming the average of the peak values of successive ramp signals. The coincidence signal, Fig. 3d (not shown) produced by the comparator 12 operates a blocking oscillator 14 controlling the switch. An inverter 8 is employed so that the switch 3 samples the train in the spaces between pulses. The "open" time of the switches can be varied by replacing the blocking oscillator 14 by a bistable circuit controlled by two voltage comparators 12c, 12d, Fig. 4 (not shown) arranged to provide output pulses at different levels of the ramp signals.
