[Also in Division B8] Cylindrical cigarette filter tips or confectionery units I, II, III, Figs. 6 and 7, in axial alignment in every third groove of a section A of a rotary drum 1, are rearranged to lie in lateral alignment in every groove of the drum section B by a grooved roller or rollers 2, 3. As shown, the roller 2 picks up by suction the units II, III and, after one revolution, returns the units II to the drum 1, the units III being transferred by suction to the roller 3 which after one revolution returns them to the roller 2 for transfer to the drum 1, the units II, III being positioned in lateral alignment with the units I by mechanical displacement whilst on the rollers 2, 3. The roller 3 may be dispensed with if the units III are caused to make a second revolution on the roller 2 or if there are no units III, in which case the units 1, II occupy every second groove of the drum section A. A combination of these modes of operation is possible, e.g. as described to deal with assemblies of four units. Modifications. The rollers 2, 3 may coact individually with the drum 1 (Fig. 8, not shown); the roller 2 transferring the units III with the units II for subsequent transfer alone by the roller 3. In Fig. 17, instead of being returned to the drum 1, the units are transferred to a drum 5. They are supplied by the drum 1 as rods of double-unit or treble-unit length which are sub-divided at appropriate times by a knife 3A. Unit displacement on the roller 2 is effected by compressed air in conjunction with a rotary member 4 having a cut-out or cut-outs allowing such displacement. Reference has been directed by the Comptroller to Specification 865,624.

Title: Continuous cold rolled aluminium strip and method for producing same
IPC: B21B27/10
Filed: 1964-06-04
Abstract: 1,006,388. Rolling. ALUMINUM CO. OF AMERICA. June 4, 1964 [June 27, 1963], No. 23288/64. Heading B3M. A method of cold rolling aluminium or wrought aluminium base alloys containing at least 85% aluminium in a multi-stand strip rolling mill includes applying to at least the upper surface of the strip an oil in water emulsion to act as both a coolant and a source of oily lubricant for the rolls and strip. The emulsion is added immediately before the final stand and is removed from at least the top and edge surfaces of the strip immediately after the final stand. Aluminium strip 2 passes from a coil 1, through tandem four-high stands 1-4, to a coiler 61. Before each stand are roll and strip sprays 8, 18, 28 and 38 and bridle rollers 5, 12, 22 and 32, while, following stands 1-3, one strip sprays 15-17, 25-27 and 35-37. Splash guards 13, 23, 33 and 43 are provided at the exit side of the stands. The water-based lubricant and any free water are removed by a number of air jets 41 directed towards the strip and nip of the rolls to blow the lubricant to the strip edges. Exhaust ducts 42 at the side of the strip collect the air and emulsion blown by the jets 41. Any further emulsion is removed by an air header 44, Fig. 5, which directs air through a slot 45 extending across the strip, the air being removed by an exhaust duct 46. A similar system may be employed for the lower surface of the strip, air being blown through a slot 55 opposite a hold down roller 50 and exhausted at 56. A typical emulsion contains 12% oil dispersed in water, the oil containing a mineral and polybutane oil base, a fatty acid, emulsifier and coupling agent. Aluminium alloy containing 0À4% Mm, 4À3% Mg, 0À10% Cr, and balance A1 may typically be clad each side with A1 constituting 6% of the strip thickness.

[Also in Group VIII] Pneumatic take-down mechanism is provided on a circular stocking knitting machine and comprises a tube 31 mounted within and rotatable with the needle cylinder 2. A stationary tube 30 is also provided within the cylinder 2 and is secured at its lower end to a casing 50 forming a chamber enclosing the lower end of the tube 31 and a perforated support 51 secured to the tube. The lower end of the tube 31 communicates with a second chamber 56 beneath the other chamber 50. Both chambers are connected by ducts 53, 54 with a suction fan and valves 28, 28a are inserted in the ducts to divert the flow of air through the tube 31 and between the tubes 31 and 30 in opposite directions at different times. During the knitting of the stocking the flow is such that the stocking is drawn down between the tubes 31, 30. Eventually the end of the stocking passes into the chamber 50 and is supported by the perforated support 51. On completion of the stocking the valves are adjusted so that the air flow is reversed and the stocking is drawn into the inner tube 30 and in so doing it is turned inside out. It is then discharged into the lower chamber 56 from which it is removed on the commencement of the next stocking, a door 22 controlled by the same mechanism as controls the valves, being opened to enable the stocking to be removed. Specification 858,144 is referred to.

Filed: 1920-08-11
Abstract: 156,470. Hariveau, P. Aug. 11, 1920. Disc-supported-blade fans and pumps; casings. -A centrifugal pump particularly applicable to steam condensers has cover plates 10, 11 carrying intake branches 12, 13 sloping at an angle of 45‹, and has a rotor 1 provided with two sets 2, 3 of blades arranged on either side so that, at the periphery of the rotor, the thickness of a blade on one set is equal to the space facing it and bounded bv two blades of the other set. The branch 12 is connected to a foot-valve 15 in the pit 16 and the branch 13 is connected to a vessel 19 containing air and steam. The volute 20 with the dffuser 21 and delivery branch 22 is secured to the cover plates 10, 11 in any desired angular position. When the pump starts, the water jets from one side of the rotor create a suction effect upon the other side, and this, added to the direct action of the blades 3, expels the air or steam. The working surfaces of the blades in this form are all concave. In a modification the blades 3 have convex surfaces, and the intake branch 13 is connected with the branch 12 to the pit 16 as well as to the vessel 19. A three-way cock enables the branch 13 to be put into communication with the pit for starting purposes and then in communication with the vessel 19. In the modification shown in Fig. 5, the rotor 1 with two water intakes 30, 31 has cheeks 32, 33 carrying convex blades 34, 35 alternating with the concave blades of the rotor, the thickness of blades and spaces being equal, as explained above with regard to Fig. 1. The volutes 38, 39 communicate through a three-way cock with the vessel 19. The cover plates 40, 41 have tubular extensions 42, 43 loosely surrounding the water intakes 44, 45. Lubricators 46, 47 fill the grooves 48, 49 with thick grease; this prevents a back flow of air when the volutes are connected to the vessel 19. For use as a centrifugal mixer, the machine shown in Fig. 1 may be inverted and hoppers 52, 53 with regulating-dampers 54, 55 attached to the tubes 12, 13, as shown in Fig. 6.
