Title: Improvements in presses for working sheet metal
IPC: B21D24/12
Filed: 1944-10-13
Abstract: 587,630. Cupping. TRIGGS, W. W. (Bliss Co., E. W.). Oct. 13, 1944, No. 19809. [Class 83 (iv)] A press for drawing sheet metal in which a main crank-shaft driven by a gear train is adapted to drive a die slide and in which toggle mechanism is provided for operating a work-clamping slide and in which the axis of the crank-shaft and toggle mechanisms extend from back to front of the machine, is characterised in that the toggle mechanism includes two rocker shafts on which members of the gear train are rotatably supported and the crank-shaft is connected to the rocker shafts to impart a rocking motion thereto to actuate the toggle mechanism. The press frame comprises a base, uprights 7 and a crown 8, clamped together by vertical tie rods and a removable cover 9. The crown provides bearings for the main crankshaft and for the two rocker shafts, all of which extend from back to front of the press. A motor 13 drives a pulley 14 which may be coupled through a clutch to a shaft carrying a brake and a pinion 23 which drives through a gear 24 a sleeve 25 supported on one of the rocker shafts 29. The other end of sleeve 25 carries a gear 26 meshing with a gear 33 mounted on a sleeve on the second rocker shaft 34, this sleeve carrying gears 36, 37 which mesh with gears 38, 39 on the main crank-shaft 40 having a crank-pin 45 connected to the die slide 54. The stroke of this slide is adjustable by means of a screw-threaded member 52 which may be rotated through a worm 50b to vary the effective length of the slide. At both the back and front of the press outside the main bearings, the crank-shaft 40 carries a subsidiary crank 53 connected by a member 59 with a slide member 60 coupled by links 62 to toggle levers 31, 35 mounted on the outer ends of rocker shafts 29, 34 respectively, the other ends of these levers being connected by rods 65, 66 to the work-clamping slide 10. The effective length of this slide is adjustable by means of screws 69 and lock-nuts 73, 74. The upper part of the die-slide 54 is formed as a trough 55 adapted to receive lubricant dripping from the gears 38, 39.

Abstract: A process of preparing a stable dispersion of an inorganic metal compound in a mineral oil, comprises passing carbon dioxide through a mixture comprising (1) one or more of calcium oxide, barium oxide, calcium hydroxide, barium hydroxide and lead oxide; (2) an alkanolamine or ethylene diamine; (3) a hydrocarbon with a boiling point falling within the range of 115 DEG  to 400 DEG  C., or a lubricating oil; and (4) an oil-soluble alkyl, or alkaryl sulphonate or a mahogany or petroleum soap; adding water to the resulting mixture whereby the same is maintained in a fluid state and the carbon dioxide calcium, barium or lead alkanol amine or ethylene diamine complex is hydrolysed and then removing the alkanol amine or ethylene diamine and water.  Exemplified sulphonates are diwaxbenzene, diwaxtoluene and polydodecylbenzene sulphonates, barium and calcium diwaxbenzene being preferred, mono- and poly-wax substituted naphthalene, diphenyl ether, naphthalene disulphide, diphenylamine, dicetyl thianthrene, dilauryl beta-naphthol, dicapryl nitronaphthalene, unsaturated paraffin wax, hydroxy-substituted paraffin wax, tetra-amylene, mono- and poly-chlorosubstituted paraffin wax, nitrosoparaffin wax, lauryl-cyclo-hexyl, mono- and poly-wax substituted cyclo-hexyl sulphonates.  Alkanol amines exemplified are mono-ethanol amine, diethanol amine, tri-ethanol amine, butyl di-ethanol amine, di-(2-ethyl hexyl) ethanol amine, amino-ethyl ethanol amine, and ethanol diamine.  The amount of alkanol amine used is not critical but may vary from 1 part or more per part of the sulphonate used.  A modification of the process above comprises passing carbon dioxide through a mixture of the oxide or hydroxide and the alkanol amine or ethylene diamine, and thereafter adding the hydrocarbon and the sulphonate.

Title: Photographic printing apparatus
IPC: G03B27/58
Filed: 1970-04-27
Abstract: 1312474 Photographic printing apparatus AGFA - GEVAERT AG 27 April 1970 [25 April 1969] 20109/70 Heading G2A A photographic printing apparatus includes a transport roller 8 which, when rotated by drive means (not shown), can advance a web 4 of copy material through the apparatus; a ratchet wheel 17 coupled to the roller 8; a pawl 18 which, when moved into engagement with the wheel 17 stops the roller 8 rotating; and control means capable of effecting engagement of the pawl 18 with the ratchet 17 when the web 4 has been advanced a preselected amount by the roller 8, which control means comprises a marking means and a scanning means. The roller spindle 14 carries a sprocket 16 slidably coupled thereto, the sprocket being chain driven. The pawl 18 is held out of engagement with the wheel 17 by an electromagnet 20, against the bias of a spring 19. At an exposure station 7, a known graphite marking device 12 and a photo-electric or electric scanning device 13 are provided, each of which is coupled to a movable mask of the exposure station. In the course of an exposure operation a mark is applied to the web 4 by the marking device 12. After an exposure is made, the pawl 18 is moved out of engagement with the wheel 17, and the roller 8 advances the web 4 thereby bringing the mark beneath the scanning device 13, which accordingly de-energizes the magnet 20 to free the pawl 18 and hence stop the roller 8. In another embodiment Fig. 3, (not shown), the sprocket (16) is coupled to the spindle (14) by an electromagnetically controlled coupling (21). An electromagnetic brake (22), which acts on the spindle (14), is also provided, the coupling and brake being controlled by way of a changeover contact (23) which in turn is controlled by the pawl (18). In a third embodiment Figs. 4, 5 (not shown), the spindle (14) carries a disc (28) having a magnetic recording layer on its periphery, the disc being rigidly coupled to the wheel (17). A magnetic recording head (24), a magnetic scanning head (25), and an erasing means are arranged about the disc (23), a magnetic impulse being applied to the disc when in the rest position in the course of an exposure operation. As the web is advanced, this recorded impulse is sensed by the head (25) thereby operating the pawl (18). The scanning head (25) may be adjustable in position. The arrangement of Fig. 3 can be provided with a similar magnetic control.

The pump shown comprises an impeller rotating in a casing 1 which has a cover part 2 shaped to form a chamber 10 in which a vane-like valve 11 is fitted. An inlet port 16 and an outlet port 17 are provided in a partition 3 separating the valve chamber 10 from the pump chamber 6. When the valve 11 is in the position shown, resting against one stop 20, the water hose connection 14 communicates with the inlet port 16 and the washing-machine bowl connection 15 communicates with the outlet port 17. When a knob 19 is turned to bring the valve 11 against the other stop 20, the connections are reversed.

Title: Hdbn decoding and decoders
IPC: H04L1/24
Filed: 1977-05-16
Abstract: A received pulse sequence in HDBn code is first converted into a first unipolar pulse sequence (I) for all positive transmission pulses and a second unipolar pulse sequence (II) for all negative transmission pulses in the HDBn decoder. In the decoder, both pulse sequences pass along separate paths with identical devices (a, b) to separate outputs (III, IV). The pulse sequences are examined for inserted pulses in accordance with the HDBn law. If the appropriate pulse sequence is found on both paths, the inserted pulses are deleted and when V and B pulses occur, a switch-over is effected in order to cancel out the transmission paths. At the outputs, the bipolarity law of the two unipolar pulse sequences is monitored. A HDB decoder is used on PCM communication links. <IMAGE>
