A turret-operating mechanism for an automatic lathe &c. comprises a turret head rotatably mounted on a slide, with a cam-operated transmission for moving it along a fixed guideway, and a turret-indexing mechanism on the slide, the transmission including a member mounted on the turret slide and a connecting device to transmit a cyclic movement between the turret slide and said member on indexing, a resilient means being provided between an oscillatory member of the transmission and a fixed structure, urging the turret slide away from the machine spindle. Turret-slide 11, Fig. 1 (plan) carries a turret 10 indexible by a Geneva wheel 19 driven by a pin 23 attached to a bevel-wheel 24. The latter is driven from a long pinion 27, rotated on the operation of a one-revolution clutch by a high-speed shaft. This shaft is driven at constant speed and rotates the camshafts for feed movements through pick-off gears. A dog-disc driven by worm gearing from the constant speed shaft, trips the onerevolution clutches in the usual manner. The bevel-wheel 24 is secured to a shaft 21, the other end of which carries a crank-pin driving, during indexing, a connecting rod 34 secured to a member 51, Fig. 2, of a slide 52. The latter is movable relative to the turret slide in the direction of its movement, and carries a rack 12 engaging a quadrant 13 moved from the cam-shaft 16. The connecting rod is in the dead-centre position during feed movements by the quadrant, but during turret-indexing the rack is held against movement by the quadrant, and the connecting rod withdraws the turret clear of the work so that it may be indexed. A locking-pin 28, Fig. 1, operated by lever 32 and cam 55 on bevel-wheel 24, holds the turret in its indexed positions. A compression spring 36, Fig. 2, for moving the turret away from the work after the forward feed movement, is retained at one end in a recess in the stationary turret-slide guideway 37, and its free end abuts a shoulder 39 on a slidable cylindrical member 48.

Abstract: 928,979. Valves. AMOT CONTROLS CORPORATION. April 11, 1962 [April 17, 1961], No. 14034/62. Class 135. A thermostatically operated diversion valve for use in the cooling system of an internal combustion engine comprises a housing 6 with three fluid passages 8, 9 and 10, a cylindrical valve member 41 reciprocable between two valve seats 36, 37, and bearing and sealing means for supporting the valve member and comprising an annular channel 43 to accommodate an 0-ring 47 of elastic material. When the engine is cold, the thermostat 53 holds the valve member 41 on the seat 36 so that all of the water from the water jacket flows from passage 8 through the centre of the valve member into the passage 9 which is connected to the inlet of the pump through a radiator by-pass loop. Increase in the temperature of the water leaving the jacket causes the valve member to move towards, and finally to abut, the seat 37 so that a progressively increasing proportion of the water flows into the passage 10 leading to the radiator. The thermostat is connected to a spider 66 on the valve member 41 by a rod 62, nut 63 and spring 74 to allow over-travel after the valve member has engaged the seat 37. A spring assembly 52 abutting a spider 68 connecting the thermostat to the seat 36 is connected to the rod 62 by straps 71 to bias the valve member to its upper position. The O- ring 47, which is resiliently distended around the valve member 41 but at the same time has a sliding fit thereon, moves between the upper and lower flanges of the channel 43 in operation. A vent 76 connects the passages 8 and 10.

An insulating spacer 7 is interposed between the rod 4 and can 2 and a metal cap 10 moulded in an insulating gasket 11 engages the rod and forms the negative terminal. An insulating washer 6 has an annular rib 8 penetrating the barrier 5 and hubs 9, 12 of the washer and gasket 11 grip the rod 4. To improve the cell efficiency air is permitted to reach the depolarizer 1 but not the anode 3 and accordingly the cap 10 has hubs 13 which are extended through the gasket 11 by punching when the cell is first used, and the air passes through passages in the washer 6 and enters longitudinal passages 14 formed in the depolarizer. Passages 15 in the anode 3 facilitate release of hydrogen. In another embodiment, Figs. 3, 5, the cathode material 1 is retained in a nickel-plated steel shell 16 having projections 17 to space it from the can 2 and thereby provide air passages. The air enters through passages 19 in the gasket 11 after removal of a plastics cap 20 which grips the can 2. In another embodiment, Fig. 7, the gasket is in two parts 21, 22 to provide an air access passage 23 therebetween and a hydrogen-permeable membrane 24 is removed before the cell is used. In a storage cell Figs. 9 and 10 (not shown) the bar terminal (4) has a plastics casing, contact with the negative electrode being by way of a metal cup (28) fitted around one end of the casing. Hydrogen escapes from the cell through holes (26) in the metal terminal cap adjacent the other end of the bar terminal (4). The ionconductive diaphragm 5 used in all the modifications may be made by introducing particulate, moisture-retaining material such as, woodflour, sawdust, paper or cotton, dust as an additive into the gelling starch.
