Abstract: 444,511. Suspender grips. STEELS & BUSKS, Ltd., Temple Road, North Evington, and HUGHES, A. C., Lyndhurst, Humberstone Drive, both in Leicester. March 8, 1935, No. 7325. [Class 44] To prevent the side limbs of a suspender loop 1 from separating, their upper ends are passed upwards through slots 2c in the plate member 2 which serves to connect the loop to the strap-receiving link 3. The ends 1a are bent inwards into alignment and embraced by rolled or curled portions 2f of plate 2. Rolled terminal portions 2b of the plate prevent separation of the loop ends. The upper link 3 may be similarly connected to the plate, or, as shown in Figs. 5, 6 may have the meeting ends 3b of the link upwardly or downwardly bent and received in a slot in plate 2, which also has a bulge 2e to give clearance for said ends and allow limited hinged movement of the link as in dotted lines, Fig. 6. The member 2 may be bent up from a blank of the form shown in Fig. 7, the slot 2d receiving the bent ends 3b. Alternatively, the lower limb of link 3 may be continuous, in which case slot 2d is unnecessary, the meeting ends of the link forming the upper limb embraced by a connecting sleeve 4, Fig. 2. Plate 2 also serves to connect the button carrying tab. In Fig. 2 the button 6 is moulded integral with a rubber tab 5 having an enlarged end 5a embraced by plate 2 which also grips the tab 5. In Fig. 6, the button 6 is carried by a fabric tab or loop 5, the ends 5b of which are folded round the ends 3b of the link and gripped by the plate.

Filed: 1927-03-21
Abstract: 269,506. Industrial Spray - Drying Corporation, (Assignees of Holliday, R. L.). April 19, 1926, [Convention date]. Soaps are prepared in powdered form by spraying a freely flowing soap solution in fine drops into a current of heated gas which entrains and solidifies the drops which when sufficiently dried are separated from the gas current. The soap stock containing preferably about 10 per cent solids is heated to about 220 F. in a tank 1 from which it passes to spray nozzles 7 at the top of a drying tower 6 to which steam is admitted from a pipe 8. The drying gas, preferably air, heated in a furnace 9, is sucked by a fan 20 into the tower 6 through a duct 10, leaving at the bottom through a pipe 12. The dried particles are chiefly deposited in a cyclone chamber 13 but residual particles are collected in bag collectors 16, the solids from all the collectors being discharged through hoppers 14, 17 to a conveyer 18. Cooling air may be blown into the bottom of the tower by a blower 23. A disintegrator serves to break up any agglomeration of particles which may fall to the bottom of the tower. The product obtained is in the form of hollow spherical particles.

In a modification, a dome-headed metal sleeve is seated within an aperture in a metal plate, the surfaces being substantially continuous and covered by a glass coating. A leading-in wire is located within the metal sleeve. In another form, a metal sleeve 15, Fig. 5, has a flanged head which is curved inwardly at 17 to form an approximately continuous surface with a ceramic bush 6 which is located within an aperture in a metal plate 16, this surface being coated with a glass melt 19.

Fig. 8 shows a construction therein a ceramic disc 26 located within a seating in a metal discharge vessel is formed with eyes or lugs 27 to receive metal terminal sleeves 28, and an apertured metal plate 25 is placed over the ceramic plate. Collars 29 on the terminal sleeves 28 are shaped to form a continuous surface with the metal plate and ceramic lugs, which surface is covered with a melt 30. The composite closure members may be applied directly to glass or ceramic bulbs or to metallic rings sealed to such bulbs. The metal parts to be coated with the melt may consist of a nickel alloy or copper, or of a copper alloy such as brass. If the metal parts to be coated are made of brass, iron, or other metal which is not readily enamelled, they mav first be coated with a metal such as copper or nickel. In some cases the melt may consist of a metal.

Filed: 1974-02-22
Abstract: 1454643 Automatic control of manipulators TOYODA-KOKI KK 22 Feb 1974 [28 Feb 1973] 8234/74 Heading G3N An industrial robot has a time shared control system with each axis of motion retroactively controlled using a control signal having a value dependent on the difference between the desired position and the actual position. The desired positions are stored in command register 200 and the actual positions are signalled by encoders associated with each axis of movement. Selectors 203, 204 are clocked by scanning pulse generator 220 to apply the respective command position and actual position signals to comparator 205 and subtraction circuit 209 in turn. The actuator for each axis of motion is an hydraulic valve which is controlled to provide a normal movement in a forward or backward direction, a slow-down movement or stop. The direction of motion is provided by the state of register 206, i.e. its bi-stables are set or reset, following the comparison in comparator 205. The slow down signal is generated by register 207 when comparator 210 shows that the magnitude of the error signal is less than the level set by switch 208 applicable to that particular axis as determined by selector 211. When the required position is reached a coincidence signal from comparator 205 to register 212 causes a stop signal to be put on the respective movement. When all axes are correctly positioned, auxiliary function generator 213 is enabled to carry out the required operation at this point. Following completion of the operation a signal FIN causes command register 200 to step on to the next block of data.
