[Also in Division B8] An apparatus for assembling a sheet of parquet strips 1, e.g. of wood, the strips being arranged in groups of parallel strips, and the strips in adjacent groups being at right angles, comprises a plurality of magazine towers 2 . . . 5 each adapted to receive a plurality of similarly arranged groups one above the other, and pusher means 7 . . . 10 for pushing out the lowermost group from each tower on to a surface 6, e.g. a conveyer or a table. The strips are arranged in towers 2 . . . 5 as shown, and the pushers 7, 10 and 8, 9 are operated alternately in pairs, the surface 6 being periodically moved to the left through the length of one group. A paper web from a roll 15 may be stuck to the top of the assembled sheet after having been cut at 17 and after having had glue applied thereto by a roll 18 (see Fig. 2, not shown). An alternative arrangement of towers is shown in Fig. 5 (not shown). In another embodiment, Figs. 9 to 11 (not shown), a single pusher works in association with eight towers, the operation of the pusher, of pneumatically operated clamping plates for supporting the bottom layer but one in the magazines, and of a paper cutter (located in this case downstream of the adhesive-coating device) being synchronized, the pusher also serving to advance the assembled sheet over a stationary surface 6. In a third embodiment, Fig. 12, a paper web 91 is coated with glue at 94 and is pressed at 96 on to the assembled parquet sheet 95. The web is cut at 97 at a distance of 5 mm. from the junction 98 of two groups, the cutting being effected at each alternate group. The pressure roller 96 is then raised whereby a linkage 96a, 93<SP>1</SP>, 93a reverses a roller 93 to draw back the web 91, before the glue has set, a distance of 10 mm. so that a 5 mm. margin is left at each end of each plate 100 which consists of four groups arranged in a square. In all the embodiments, operation of the machine is automatic.

Abstract: 541,904. Loom shuttles. SAMSONOW, V. DE. April 11, 1940, No. 6571. Convention date, April 17, 1939. [Class 142 (iii)] [Also in Group XXIII] In compressing laminated wood for making weaving shuttles provision is made so that the inner laminae are compressed to a less extent than the outer ones. According to one method, spacing blocks 3 are inserted along the edges of the inner laminae 4 after assembly in the press to limit the amount of compression to which the inner laminae are subjected. In an alternative method the inner laminae are formed from sheets of greater thickness and containing less moisture than the outer laminae. Thus, after compression, a block in which the density of the inner part is less than that of the outer part is obtained.

Abstract: 507,255. Railway &c. vehicle undercarriages. MALEY, A. W., and TAUNTON, E. M. March 3, 1938, No. 6696. [Class 103 (vi)] In a suspension for a railway or tramway vehicle truck, the longitudinal support or plank 1 which carries the bearing-springs for the trunk frame 8 is constituted by one or more resilient blades 1 connected at their mid-points to the axle-box 3 and adapted to act as stiff beams under vertical loads, but to yield resiliently to transverse stresses, thus providing for the necessary lateral movement of the axle relatively to the truck. In the construction shown the support comprises two parallel spring steel plates 1, 2 bolted to depending flanges 4 on the axle-box and fitted at their extremities with seats 5 for rubber cushions 9 supporting the frame members 8. The vehicle body is mounted on the frame 8 through the medium of helical springs 19 and/or laminated springs 21. The driving thrust and brake drag are transmitted to the truck frame either by means of leaf springs 14, or, in a modification Fig. 5 (not shown), by extending the spring seat 5 upwardly to project within and engage the spring abutment 7 on the frame 8.

Title: Improvements in or relating to control mechanism for gramophone record playing apparatus
Inventor: RAE ALEXANDER JAMES
IPC: G11B17/02
Filed: 1949-03-11
Abstract: 663,790. Automatic gramophones. ELECTRIC & MUSICAL INDUSTRIES, Ltd. December 13, 1949. [March 11, 1949] No. 6730/49. Class 40 (ii). In a gramophone record playing apparatus, a control device such as for stopping and starting the turntable motor, or for initiating an automatic cycle in an automatic record changing mechanism, comprises a switch operating lever 6 which is latched in an operative or inoperative position by a latch 11, and an actuating member 14 moving with the pick-up arm 15 so that when the pick-up reaches a predetermined position or moves in the reverse direction, the actuating member 14 releases the latch 11 and the switch operating lever 6 is moved out of its latched position by the resilience of the switch blade 22. In the embodiment described the control member actuates a switch in the circuit of the turntable motor. During the outward movement of the pick-up arm 15, a pin 26 on the actuating member 14 moves the control member 6 against the action of switch blade 22 to a position in which the latch 11 retains the control member 6 by means of a tongue 9 thereon and a notch 10 and a spring 13 on the latch 11. This position of the switch operating lever 6 maintains a bladed switch 22, 23, in the closed-circuit position. When the stylus reaches the inner part of the record, a spring loaded pin 18 presses lightly on ratchet teeth 17 on the actuating member 14 until the stylus enters the eccentric run-off groove of the record. The resulting reverse movement of the actuating member 14 produces a clockwise movement of the latch 11 about a pivotal point 12, so that the switch operating lever 6 is released to open circuit the switch 22, 23. In the absence of an eccentric run-off groove, the latch 11 is tripped at a predetermined point by the pin 19 acting on an extension 27 of the switch operating lever 6.

Abstract: 1,189,081. Photo-electric colorimeters. SWEDEN FREEZER MFG. CO. Feb. 12, 1968 [Feb. 13, 1967], No. 6739/68. Heading G1A. [Also in Divisions G2 and G3] The flow cell of a photo-electric colorimeter comprises an upper wall sloping upwardly from an inlet port to an outlet port and means at a lower level for defining the optical path and permitting bubbles entrained in the sample fluid to flow unobstructed along the inner surface of the upper wall, by passing the optical path. Dialysis effluent from an artificial kidney machine is tested for the presence of blood by passing it through a photometer chamber 18 from inlet 20 to outlet 24. The chamber has a sloping roof 18 to keep bubbles from the light path and baffles 34, 36 to prevent stray reflections. ' Light from a lamp 82 passes via ports 50 and 52 through the effluent to a measuring CdS photoresistor 102 and also directly to a reference CdS photo-resistor 94. The photo-resistors are connected in a bridge circuit, and any out of balance indicative of blood in the dialysis effluent is detected by an instrument relay and used to operate an alarm. Circuits for supplying stabilized voltages to the photo-resistors and a stabilized current to the lamp are described. (see Division G3). Spurious signals due to bubbles are ignored by a time delay which prevents actuation of the alarm until a blood signal has persisted for a predetermined time. Initial calibration is effected by adjusting a screw 93 in front of cell 94 and by adjusting resistances in the bridge circuit. Silica gel dessicant 96, 104 prevents misting of the ports 50, 52. When the apparatus is not in use, the meter and alarm circuits may be switched off without switching off components which would require a warm-up period.

The belt 8 is mounted on rollers 7 having axles the ends of which are received in slots at the upper ends of brackets 9, the other ends of the brackets being pivotally connected to the frame 5. The device is stated to be especially for speed control of a freely running vehicle in a shelf storage system.
