Title: Improvements in or relating to reversible ploughs
IPC: A01B3/18
Filed: 1946-01-28
Abstract: 608,642. Agricultural implements. HOSIER, A. J., BOMFORD, D. R., and WHATLEY, A. Jan. 28, 1946, Nos. 2769 and 20974. [Class 6(i)] A reversible plough, of the kind having a plough beam supported between a forecarriage and a rear carriage approximately longitudinally of the machine, is connected to a tractor in such a manner that the turning of the tractor at the end of a furrow automatically effects reversal of the plough bodies. In the form shown, the plough beam 1 carrying sets of plough bodies 2, 3 is pivotally connected to a forecarriage 6 by cranks 4 and 13 and to a rear axle 11 by a crank 9. The forecarriage 6 is supported by height-adjusting means (not shown) upon an axle 7 carrying ground wheels 8. The rear axle 11 carries rear wheels 12 mounted in forked brackets 32 joined by a track rod 34 which constrains the wheels to move in unison. A draw-bar 19, pivotally mounted on the fore carriage, can swing from side to side as the tractor turns but is normally locked in a central position. A beam 15, connected at one end to the draw-bar and pivoted at a central point 16, swings with the draw bar. The rearward end of the beam 15 is connected by a chain 21 to the cranked plough beam. At the end of a furrow the draw bar is unlocked and swings with the tractor, causing the cranked plough beam to swing about its pivots into a position slightly past the vertical, where it is retained by a catch 23. The tractor and plough are then manipulated into position for the next furrow and the draw-bar again locked in a central position. On release of the catch 23 the plough beam will fall into a new position in which a fresh set of plough bodies is in operation. Specification 535,635 is referred to.

Abstract: 1,175,181. Welding by fusion. FOSTER WHEELER Ltd. 26 Jan., 1967 [25 Jan., 1966], No. 3311/66. Heading B3R. In a backing ring for use in fusion butt welding of tubes and made from a particulate flux bound with a binder, the binder is soluble in a solvent in which the flux is not soluble and the flux fuses at welding temperature without mixing with the weld metal. The ring consists of a particulate flux bound with water soluble sodium carboxy methyl cellulose. The ring 16 is tapered outwardly in both directions and has a central flange 20. Apertures in the ring 16 receive spacing rods 22. In use the ring 16 is positioned in tubes 10, 12, the spacing rods 22 serving to determine the welding gap. The largest diameter of the tapered parts of the ring 16 is wider than the internal diameter of the tubes 10, 12 and the width of the flange 20 is greater than the welding gap so that when located for welding the tubes 10, 12 crush the flange 20 and the adjacent parts of the ring 16 to ensure a tight fit. After tack welding the tubes 10, 12, the spacing rods 22 are removed and welding is effected by a carbon dioxide shielded metal arc. The flux fuses adjacent the weld to allow a smooth internal weld bead to form. The ring 16 is removed by dissolving the binder in water and washing the flux out of the tubes 10, 12.

In the form shown, the outer grooves 5B, Fig. 3, in the sleeve 2 are of generally triangular cross-section and the inner grooves 5A are of generally trapezoidal crosssection, but in modifications, Figs. 2, 4 (not shown), both inner and outer grooves are either of generally triangular cross-section or of generally trapezoidal cross-section. The rods 3 may be bowed before insertion in the grooves, to take up any lost motion, and have rounded or cone-shaped ends. More than one rod 3 may be located in each groove. The stops in the grooves are carried at one end by an end cap 4 fast upon the sleeve 2 and at the other are located in the grooves adjacent the inner end of the shaft 1. If desired, the edges of the grooves may extend further radially at one side than the other, to enable a higher torque to be transmitted in one direction of rotation than in the other. The grooves contain lubricant to prevent the rods 3 from sticking. The rods 3 are preferably made from a harder material than that of the shaft sections 1, 2, and may be hardened and/or ground and polished. Specification 933,267 is referred to.
