Abstract: 968,818. Sewing machines. SINGER-COBBLE Inc. July 3, 1963 [July 6, 1962], No. 26366/63. Heading D1G. In a tufting machine, compressed air is passed through a hollow needle during the upstroke of the needle in order to force the yarn out of the needle to form a loop of yarn. As shown, in a hand-held machine a motor 3, mounted under a handle portion 2, drives a shaft 5 carrying a crank disc 11 coupled by a pit man 12 to a block 13 slidably mounted on fixed rods 16 and 17. Block 13 is rigidly connected by a tubular rod 22 slidable on the rod, to a needle-carrying block 21 slidable on a pair of rods 17. Pitman 12 is adjustably connected by a link 14 to an arm 10 pivoted on a shaft 7. A pawl 9 on arm 10 thereby co-operates with a ratchet wheel 8 rigid with shaft 7, for intermittently driving a pair of toothed feeding-wheels 6 rigid with shaft 7. A compressed air conduit 32 is connected, via a fixed block 20, with a fixed tube 44 slidably receiving a tube 48 which is rigid with block 21 and which communicates with the interior of a hollow needle 25 fixed in block 21. When the needle penetrates the base fabric F, a rod 42 rigid with block 13 unseats a valve in block 20 to permit the passage of compressed air through the needle, whereby the positively-fed yarn Y is forced out of the needle to the full extent of a loop as the needle withdraws. When the needle rises further a reduced portion 41 in rod 42 permits closure of the valve to stop the flow of air. Yarn Y is fed to the needle by passage between a positively-driven wheel 55 Fig. 1, and an idler wheel which is mounted on a pivoted bracket 66 biased towards wheel 56 by a spring 68. In a modification, Fig. 6, yarn Y normally passes between a driven wheel 72 and an idler wheel 85 carried by one arm of a two-armed lever 84 pivoted at 83, a spring 89 biasing wheel 85 towards wheel 74. The other arm of lever 84 is connected with the armature of a solenoid 88, energization of which thereby serves to disengage wheel 85 and to engage the yarn between an idler wheel 86 on lever 84 and a wheel 73 driven slower than wheel 72.

Abstract: 385,675. Burglar and like alarms. LINE, H., 37, Catch Bar Lane, Hillsborough, Sheffield. Sept. 23, 1931. No. 26524. [Class 118 (i).] A burglar alarm consists of an alarm clock fitted with means to stop it at the time the article to be protected is tampered with, and to ignite a fuse, explode a charge, sound a police alarm, or fire a gun. A cover over any article to be protected or, for example, a door 0 has a connection to a ring X poised on an arm R attached to a pulley P journalled freely on a spindle attached to a casing M1 in which is fixed an alarm clock as shown. A flexible line with a turn or two round the pulley is led through a hole in the casing and attached to a slide C running on a vertical guide A secured to the clock and is continued over another pulley P1 to a weight K disposed over a sloping baseboard W. A beak B on the slide C passes in its travel within reach of a wire ring D111 supported on headed pins on the winding head H1 of the clock mainspring. On the ring X being disturbed the pulley P is freed to allow the weight K to pull down the slide so that the beak B engages and holds the winding head H1 to stop the clock. At the same time a cord D1 from the slide C rotates the alarm setting head H till it arrives at the instant of disturbance and sets off the alarm, the striker Z of which is adapted to hit ignitible matches or a fuse placed in a hole S1 to fire an explosive alarm. The falling weight K also by pulling a line D11 operates an audible or flashing alarm E, a police signal or a distant electric device Y. The door to be protected by the alarm device described may be arranged to disturb the ring X by a magnet N1 adapted to pull a weight N connected to the ring, the alarm being set by pulling a cord to displace a cap N11 from the magnet after the door has been closed.

[Also in Division B8] In apparatus for supplying, e.g. hot billets, to a forging press, a belt, chain or drum conveyer runs past the inlets of a number of equispaced parallel ovens, the billets being supplied from it to each oven at regular time intervals, each billet ejecting the previous billet from its oven, whence it is conveyed to the press. As shown, seven ovens 3-9 are supplied with billets 2 by seven pushers 13-19 actuated e.g. by a cam-shaft 11. Figs. 2-9 (not shown), indicate one order of supplying billets to the ovens, in which the conveyer 1 moves the distance between two adjacent ovens between succeeding strokes of the pushers. If the billets arrive in the order I-VII, then pusher 14 pushes billet III into oven 4; pusher 16 pushes billet II into oven 6 &c., with the billet delivery sequence III, II, I, VII, VI, V, IV. Another sequence given is IV, III, II, I, VII, VI, V. Figs. 10-17 (not shown) indicate another sequence in which the conveyer moves half the distance between adjacent ovens in between each pusher stroke. In this sequence the billet delivery order is VII, VI, V, IV, III, II, I. The cam-shaft 11 is actuated by a " senser " 20, in combination with an " end-of-series " control device 22, which operates forks (not shown) opposite each pusher so that when the last billet detected by the " senser " is in front of the pusher which introduces the last billet of the cycle into the ovens, the corresponding fork rises and immobilizes the billet, a similar action taking place with regard to the penultimate billet, and so on.

Title: Method of heat-treating cold worked austenitic steels
IPC: C21D6/00
Filed: 1976-06-25
Abstract: Solution-annealed and quenched austenitic steels suffer, as a result of stretching or straightening, a reduction in the elastic limit in the compression test with a simultaneous rise of the elastic limit in the tensile test (B). Due to an annealing treatment at temperatures below the stress relief-annealing temperature in the region of from 400 to 650 DEG C, the difference of the elastic limits in the tensile and compressive tests (Bauschinger effect) is admittedly not eliminated, but the steel shows elastic limit (C) values in the compression direction which are better than in the solution-annealed initial state (A). <IMAGE>
