Title: Improvements in or relating to adjusting mechanism for hinged doors
IPC: E05D7/08
Filed: 1937-05-08
Abstract: 495,198. Hinges. MAIN, Ltd., R. & A., and TAYLOR, R. May 8, 1937, No. 13221. [Class 65 (ii)] A door hinge is made adjustable by providing one of the hinge members on a bracket which is mounted on the door or frame so as to be capable of movement transverse to the hinge axis in the plane of the door or frame and of pivotal movement about an axis perpendicular to that plane, means being provided for effecting these movements and for clamping the bracket in its adjusted position. In the form shown, the lower hinge pin 11 for an oven door is carried on a bracket 16 which is provided with a slot hole, lying longitudinally of the bracket, to receive a set-screw 41 and a broader slot, lying transversely of the bracket, to receive a bush 38 with a hexagonal head and an eccentric hole for a set-screw 42. When the set-screws are slackened, rotation of the bush 38, by a tool engaging its hexagonal head, will cause the bracket 16 to move longitudinally to right or left and also to tilt slightly about the set-screw 41, after which the screws can be tightened again to hold the bracket in its adjusted position. In place of, or in addition to, the slot directly engaging the set-screw 41, the bracket may have one or more bushes on set-screws, similar to 38, engaging slots in the bracket so as to produce either longitudinal or transverse movement of the latter. The bracket may lie parallel to the hinge axis, and may be extended to carry both the hinge pins of a door.

Abstract: 1,204,403. 403. Programme control of cablelaying. ELEKTROMAT VEB. Sept.19, 1969 No.13361/68. Heading G3N. A control system for use with a cable-forming machine to move a work surface from a first to a second position relative to a cable -laying head comprises a computing device for generating a stop signal as a function of a second position signal and an overshoot signal. As shown, a perforated tape is read in a block 1 and the derived programme signals are held in a buffer storage 2 from which they are transferred to a washing storage comprising a part 3a for stop length, a port 3b for direction of movement, a part 3c for the lowest 2 bits of the second position valve and a part 3d for the remaining six bits. The step length signal determines the reduction, from a patch board in a block 5, of an overshoot signal A which corrects the signal from storage 3c and a fixed 3 bit signal C in a full-adder having parallel stages 6a-6c. The overflow from stage 6e is fed through a logic circuit 12 to the storage section 3d. The combined outputs of section 3d and counter 6a-e forms a stop co-ordinate signal H which is compared in a coincidence circuit 7 with the output J of the appropriate actual co-ordinate position transducer 10a, 10b selected by a circuit 11. At coincidence, a stop signal P is applied to the tape read block 1, buffer storage 2 and moving device 8a or 8b for the working surface. The de-activation of the device 8a or 8b causes, simultaneously, the application of a brake. The transducers 10a, 10b comprise glass discs scanned by photo-diodes.

Title: Improvements in or relating to automatic speed regulating systems
Inventor: TOWNSEND BARRIE ROBERT
IPC: H02P7/26
Filed: 1958-04-30
Abstract: 863,824. Automatic speed-control systems. LANCASHIRE DYNAMO ELECTRONIC PRODUCTS Ltd. July 29,1959 [April 30,1958], No. 13750/58. Addition to 812,401. Class 38 (4). A D.C. motor M receives its power supply from regulator 1 actuated by a control signal obtained by a phase comparison of the outputs of frequency dividers 3, 4, one of which receives its input from frequency reference source 5, while the other is supplied from a motor-driven impulse generator G. The frequency dividers are digital counters using dekatrons and are arranged to re-cycle continuously. The divider 4 is adjusted by switches 6 so as to cause it to count to any desired number within a range determined by the required speed range of the motor. The phase comparison is effected by a stepped sawtooth generator 7 controlled by the frequency-divider 3, and an electronic switch 8 controlled by the frequency-divider 4. The output voltage of the generator 7 increases step by step at intervals determined by the divider 3, and is transmitted to a storage device 13 at intervals determined by the switch 8. The switches 6 are adjusted to pre-set the frequency divider 4 to a desired ratio according to the desired speed, so that the output frequencies of the dividers are equal when the motor is running at the correct speed. The control signal transmitted to the store 13 is then at zero value. If the speed becomes excessive, the switch 8 is operated when the output from the generator 7 is at a reduced level and the store 13 is set to an output below the zero datum. As a result, a correcting signal is fed to the regulator 1 to reduce the motor speed. Similarly, if the speed of the motor falls, the control signal passed to the regulator calls for an increase of the speed. Thus, the system responds cumulatively to small errors in the speed over a range of the reference frequency, the store 13 maintaining the sense of the controlling action by storing the control signal during the intervals between successive operations of the switch 8. Short-term speed control is provided by a tachometer generator 14, whose voltage is compared with a reference voltage controlled by resistors 15 which are mechanically coupled to the switches 6.

Packing, inserting.-A tool to apply packing to seal the joints between the tubes and headers of steam condensers, comprises a hollow handle 2, which is held by the operator, a tubular thread guide 4 working in the handle and controlled' by a spring 6, a stud 15 and slot 14 connection ensuring that angular movement accompanies relative longitudinal movement of the members, and a centering guide 3 controlled by a spring 5 and adapted to be rotated by a brace secured to the end 12. A packing tube 9 forming part of the handle has its end cut to engage a loop of the packing thread which is inserted into position in the plate 20 as shown in Fig. 1, with the ends of the loop engaged in slots 21, 22 cut in the thread guide 4. The insertion of the loop into the inmost position against the far end of the plate 20, causes the thread guide to effect a partial turn and release the free end of the loop. The packing is then completed by turning the guide 3 by the brace.

IPC: G03D3/13
Filed: 1960-04-22
Abstract: 916,170. Photographic processing apparatus. UNION TONFILMMASCHINENBAUGESELLSCHAFT. April 22, 1960, No. 14244/60. Class 98 (2). [Also in Group XVI] Developing apparatus comprises a succession of open-topped baths, each bath having an upper driven and a lower free shaft provided with transport rollers, the upper shafts being capable of adjustment to a selected one of two operating positions, one above the other, and in both of which they are in engagement with driving means, in the upper of which two positions the rollers on the said driving-shaft are above the liquid level in the bath, and in the lower of which they are below the liquid level. The arrangement shown has two baths 1 and 2, a rear wall 3 carrying the driving mechanism which drives a spur gear 4 located above each bath. Each upper shaft 6 carries a number of freely running rollers 21 and one driven roller 20. The shaft and rollers are supported in a frame between end portions 8, 9. Portion 9 is extended into a support member 10 which can be secured to holder members 11 fixed on wall 3. Each shaft 6 carries a gear-wheel 18 which, when the shaft assembly is attached to the holder members 11, engages with the spur gear 4, thus transmitting the drive to the shaft 6 and its driving roller 20. Two sets of holder members 11 are provided above each bath, an upper one and a lower one. When the shaft assembly is attached to the upper set, it is held above the mouth of the bath (and hence the liquid therein) as shown for bath 2. In this position, the lower edge of gear 18 engages with the upper edge of gear 4. When the shaft assembly is attached to the lower set of holders 11, the shaft comes within and below the mouth of the bath (as shown for bath 1) and thus may be completely immersed in the liquid therein. In this position, the upper edge of gear 18 engages with the lower edge of gear 4. The gears are covered by protecting caps 5, 19, leaving uncovered only the actual engagement zones. Each shaft assembly can be readily detached or changed from one position to the other. The film is fed in from a spool, and passed alternately round a roller on shaft 6 and another roller on a lower shaft (not shown) near the bottom of bath 1. Finally it is led over a guide roller (not shown) into bath 2, and so on. The shaft 6 may be disposed as shown for bath 2 when processing black and white films. When processing colour films, and it desirable that the film shall be continuously immersed in its passage through a particular bath, to avoid oxidation, shaft 6 is disposed in its lower position, as shown for bath 1, so that it can be completely covered by the liquid in the bath.
