Title: Improvements relating to guards for machine tools
IPC: B26D7/22
Filed: 1945-01-16
Abstract: 588,577. Machinery guards. BRITISH THOMSON-HOUSTON CO., Ltd., and JARVIS, W. W. G. Jan. 16, 1945, No. 1254. [Class 80 (iv)] In a power operated machine tool in which power is supplied thereto through a slipping clutch, the driving shaft of the machine has releasable means for preventing its rotation, said means being released from a position in which it prevents rotation of the shaft by a connection with the operating pedal only after the latter has been moved sufficiently to depress the guard into the safety position. As shown, a guillotine has a fixed guard (not shown) mounted on arms 6 at the front of the machine and a sliding guard 21 to guard the operator at the rear of the machine. The guard 21 is connected by a link 20, lever 18 and link 17 to a lever 13 secured to the pivot shaft 14 of the operating pedal 5. A pin 15 on the lever 13 engages a slot in the forked end of a lever 12, the other end of which is slotted to receive a crank arm 11 on a spindle 10. The latter also carries a catch 8 engageable with a notch 9 in a collar fixed on the driving shaft 7, the latter being connected to the source of power through a slipping clutch. When the operator at the front of the machine depresses the pedal 5 to start the machine the guard 21 is moved downwards to a completely closed position before the pin 15 on lever 13 reaches the end of the slot in lever 12 to cause the catch 8 to be moved out of the notch in the collar, thereby permitting operation of the machine. The guard 21 is locked in its closed position by a pivoted catch 23 engaging a pin 22 on the guard. When the guillotine blade 3 reaches the bottom of its stroke, a tappet 30 on the guillotine beam engages a rod 25 which acts on a pivoted lever 27 to release the catch 23 and allow the guard 21 to rise under the action of a counterweight 29 fixed to the shaft 14. If the guard 21 does not complete its guarding movement the catch 8 is not disengaged from the notch 9 and the machine is not operated. The guard 21 may be actuated by electrical means controlled by the pedal 5.

Title: An apparatus for receiving control signals superposed on an existing power supply system
IPC: H02J13/00
Filed: 1961-01-12
Abstract: 967,072. Signalling over power circuits. ZELLWEGER Ltd. Jan. 12, 1961 [March 8, 1960], No. 1393/61. Heading H4R. A control signal receiver adapted to provide an output control signal in response to input control signals superimposed on a power supply circuit comprises means for detecting the input control signal level at the input to the receiver, means for detecting the interference level at the input to the receiver and comparator means for ensuring that the output control signal is provided only if the input control signal level exceeds the interference level. The control signals may be used for remote control of hot water heaters or street lights. A receiver comprises input terminals 30, 31 connected to the power supply. A filter network comprising capacitors 32, 36 and transformer 34, 35 rejects signals of the frequency of the A.C. supply. A surge suppression resistor 33 is provided. Signals passing through the filter network are rectified by rectifier 37 and applied to a network comprising capacitors 38, 39 and resistors 42, 43. The time constant of capacitor 38 with its discharge resistor 42 is greater than the duration of a control signal while the time constant of capacitor 39 with its discharge resistor 43 is such that a control signal charges capacitor 39 to fire a discharge tube 40 and operate a relay 41. Resistor 42 is ten times higher than resistor 43 and a continuous interference voltage produces in capacitor 38 a charging voltage ten times higher than in capacitor 39. In an alternative arrangement (Fig. 4) circuit 35<SP>1</SP>, 36<SP>1</SP> is tuned to the control signal while circuits 35<SP>11</SP>, 36<SP>11</SP> and 35<SP>111</SP>, 36<SP>111</SP> are tuned to upper and lower mains harmonics adjacent the frequency of the control signal. Component values are such that interference signals charge capacitors 38, 39 equally but oppositely to give zero output, whereas control signals charge capacitor 39 more quickly than capacitor 38 to provide a voltage sufficient to fire discharge tube 40 and operate relay 41. Where interference signals embrace a wide frequency band, secondary circuit 35<SP>11</SP>, 36<SP>11</SP> (Fig. 5) is a resonant circuit with a broader pass band than circuit 35<SP>1</SP>, 36<SP>1</SP> and is connected to a bridge network comprising a parallel resonant circuit 35<SP>111</SP>, 36<SP>111</SP> tuned to the frequency of the control signals. Interference signals charge capacitors 38, 39 equally but oppositely while a control signal produces no voltage across capacitor 38 and 37 but charges capacitor 39 sufficiently to fire discharge tube 40 and operate relay 41. The filters tuned to the interference signals may be simple R.C. networks. A power distribution system including a transformer station and a control signal generator are described (Fig. 1, not shown). Specification 623,636 is referred to.

As shown in Fig. 4 the motor housings 30 of the rear wheels 4 are mounted via ball bearings 49, 50, 49, 51 to arms 44, 45 of a central housing 43, thus allowing pivoting of the rear wheel 4 about individual vertical axes. A supporting tube 54 passing through housing 43 allows pivoting of the rear wheel assembly about a horizontal longitudinal axis. The front wheels 2 are mounted in a similar manner to rear wheels 4 and are steered through the housing 30 of the associated hydraulic motors by means of an hydraulic mechanism (not shown). The quadrangular structure comprises couplings 65, 66 each made of a flat-box-shaped torsion resistant structure and pivotally connecting pins 63, 64 and 59, 60 rigidly secured to the vehicle frame 1 and to supports 57 of the rear wheel housing 43. The quadrangular structure may also or exclusively be provided between the front wheels 2 and central non-steerable wheels 3. As seen in Fig. 1 an engine 5 drives an hydraulic pump 14 which drives the six hydraulic motors 30, one on each wheel. Each motor 30 comprises hydraulic cylinders 34 which cause plungers 37 to reciprocate thus turning crank 38 of each of the ground wheels 2, 3, 4. Through the clutch 6 and the gear-wheels the engine drives a power take-off shaft 8 having a telescopic section 10 which compensates for pivotal movements of the rear wheel assembly. The power take-off shaft may have a tool mounted at its rear or forward ends. If desired a plurality of parallel power take-off shafts may be provided. The lifting device of the tractor comprises hydraulic cylinders 81 actuated so that two arms 78 are pivoted upwardly whilst the lower lifting arms are turned upwardly about pin 82 so that an attached tool is lifted. A similar lifting mechanism is mounted at the front of the vehicle. A framework 20, 21 fastened to the base frame 1 carries elastic suspension members 25, 26, 29 for holding a driving cabin 27.
