Filed: 1975-10-06
Abstract: 1517985 Odometers RECORD TAXAMETER AB 6 Oct 1975 [24 Feb 1975] 40753/75 Addition to 1463236 Heading G1K [Also in Division G4] An odometer to be secured to a vehicle wheel hub for recording the distance travelled by the vehicle comprises a counter 19, feed means 28-41 for advancing the counter as a function of said distance, drive means including an annular pendulum 8 coaxial with the hub axis and mechanically coupled to the feed means, and a printing mechanism 25, 26, 43-49 for stamping the distance travelled, as recorded by the counter 19, on an inserted card, the feed means including a rocker lever 33 loaded by an over-centre spring 39 to move to one or other of two stable end positions and carrying a drive pawl 37 for an input ratchet wheel 41 of the counter 19, the lever being advanced from either end position to the neutral position of the spring 39 in response to rotation of the input shaft 42 of the feed means in either direction, after which the spring snaps the lever 33 to the other end position. A post 36 engageable by arms 33A, 33B of the lever 33 defines the end positions. The shaft 9 of the pendulum 8 carries a worm 16 meshing a worm-wheel 10 on the shaft 42. A crank-pin 29 on the shaft 42 engages a slot 31 in one arm of a rocking lever 30, dogs 32 on the other end of the lever being engageable with a pin 34 on the lever 33. The lever 30 gives a full stroke positive drive to the lever 33 if the spring 39 fails or if mechanism friction exceeds the spring force. If the counter 19 is blocked, e.g. for fraudulent purposes, the panel 37 is permanently deformed and the drive ceases, to indicate tampering. The pendulum, Fig. 1, has a portion 52 of its annular cavity closed against the entry of balls 14 by rubber walls 51. The printing mechanism, Fig. 3, has hammers 25 opposite print wheels of the counter 19 and fixed print wheels 19A which print an identification number of the vehicle. When the cover 3 is pivoted to expose a slot 4, a cam 43 on its shaft acts via a follower 47 and links 26 to lift the hammers 25 clear of the slot 4 so that a card can be inserted therein. Movement of the cover 3 past an open rest position (48 on the cam) allows the follower to pass over a peak 49 of the cam so that a spring 46 can move the hammers 25 rapidly to strike the card against the print wheels 19, 19A, the spring 49 lifting the hammers slightly so that the card can be easily withdrawn from the slot 4.

Abstract: 1,189,619. Inserting wound coils into stator cores. EMERSON ELECTRIC CO. 30 Aug., 1968 [20 Nov., 1967], No. 41665/68. Heading B3A. In a method of inserting coils axially into the stator core of a dynamo-electric machine, an impeller 2 engages the coils and forces them into the stator, the impeller being moved by means of an oil damped air cylinder actuator. The coils to be inserted are placed in their proper positions, the stator core is clamped down and a foot pedal 26 depressed. A valve 25 revolves 90 degrees allowing compressed air from a source 28 to pass into a chamber 9 in an air cylinder 3. The air moves a piston 4 upwardly and oil in a chamber 8 is forced through a control line 14 into a reservoir 20. The impeller rises slowly at a constant rate and forces the coils into the stator slots. When the piston 4 reaches the end of its stroke, the pedal 26 is again depressed and the valve 25 actuated to vent the chamber 9 and connect the reservoir 20 to the compressed air source 28. Oil is forced through the line 14 and the piston 4 is driven downwardly until the impeller is clear of the stator. The rate at which the piston moves depends on the degree of restriction provided by the line 14 and on the viscosity of the oil. In alternative embodiments, the line 32 to the chamber 9 may include an oil reservoir and an impeller may also be provided at each end of the cylinder. The piston speed may be adjusted by providing a control valve 15 or other variable restriction in the control line 14.
