Title: Improvements in, and connected with, mechanical stokers for furnaces
IPC: F23H11/00
Filed: 1920-04-14
Abstract: 141,724. Lloyd, W. Dec. 2, 1913, [Convention date]. Fire-bars and grates; air supply, regulating.- Relates to a chain-grate composed of sets of small bars carried on the main transverse bars, and provides for close spacing without danger from heat expansion, and prevents passage of ash at undesirable points. Each main, transverse bar 20 carries a set of small bars 31 loosely mounted on an undercut rib 29, and secured by means of an end bar 27 and spring plunger 38. The bars are taper, Fig. 7, with one side vertical and spacing ribs 48 on the other side. The upper surface is curved longitudinally, Fig. 2, and has cross slots 43. 28 are air-supply perforations in the main bar. The ends of the main bars extend under the masonry, and an integral shoulder 25 at one end and the locking bar 27 at the other define the width of the fuel bed. The rear ends of the bars 31 are formed with somewhat hollowed aprons 41 which lie under the correspondingly shaped front ends of the adjacent bars and prevent the passage of ash when the bars open round the chain drum. Ribs 49 flush with the ribs 48 secure continuity of the apron, which is further extended by the similarly shaped ends of the main bars. According to the Specification as open to inspection under Sect. 91 (3) (a) an air box W, Fig. 1 (Cancelled), below the upper run is divided into three parts (which may receive air at different pressures), and its dividing portions, and also its end walls, make joint with the under surface of the grate by means of extended plates 62, 63, 64, 65. This subject-matter is disclaimed, though still described, in the Specification as accepted.

In a top roll carrier and weighting arm 1 wherein two adjacent rolls 6, 6<SP>1</SP> are carried by respective arms 3, 3<SP>1</SP>, the arms are each connected to the carrier by a universal joint. The joints comprise (see Fig. 2 not shown) shafts 2, 2<SP>1</SP> fixed relative to arm 1 and having indented centre portions engaged by raised, curved portions on the arms 3, 3<SP>1</SP> so that pivotal motion about the shafts and a rocking motion parallel to the plane of the drafting field are both possible. The arm 3<SP>1</SP> fits in saddle fashion over arm 3 so that no relative movement of the arms 3, 3<SP>1</SP> is possible parallel to the drafting field. The shaft 2<SP>1</SP> is carried by a member 10 which also carries the spring 8<SP>1</SP> loading roll 6<SP>1</SP> and is adjustable along the arm 1; thus the position of roll 6<SP>1</SP> can be adjusted. Upper and lower aprons 12,14 are provided, the upper apron having its cage 13 mounted on the shaft of roll 6; alternatively the cage for the upper apron is mounted on the shaft of the delivery roll 6.

Abstract: 594,157. Roundabouts. FREEMAN, A. May 27, 1946, No. 10455/45. [Class 132 (i)] A roundabout is rotated by one or more passengers operating a ratchet gearing which comprises a fixed ratch disc mounted on the stationary part of the roundabout and an oscillatory or reciprocatory ratchet component having a series of teeth adapted for engagement with a plurality of co-operating portions or elements of the fixed ratch disc. An operating member, mounted on the rotary part of the roundabout and movable back and forth from a passenger's seat, is provided together with connections between this operating member and the oscillatory or reciprocatory ratchet component. In Fig. 1, passengers sitting in seats 5 cause the roundabout to rotate by moving back and forth hand levers 12. These levers are pivotally connected to rods 16 which in turn are connected to chains 14 which pass around ratchet gearings 11 of the standard cycle free wheel type. The chains are connected at their other ends through springs 15 to arms 4 on the rotating portion of the roundabout. A friction clutch device 19, comprising opposed discs faced with some such material as leather, is provided so that in the event of any effort to turn the roundabout in the opposite direction or to apply excessive power to the ratchet mechanism the clutch will slip. In Fig. 2 the roundabout is rotated by up and down motion of ropes 23 which are connected to rods 16 through bell cranks 24. Alternative forms of ratchet mechanism are shown in Figs. 3 and 5 where the fixed ratch disc 25 engages a quadrant-shaped ratchet component 26 or a bar-shaped ratchet component 26'.

Title: Improvements in and relating to variable-speed gearing
IPC: F16H3/08
Filed: 1938-03-30
Abstract: 497,257. Variable - speed gearing. WALLIS, W. H. March 30,1938, No. 10458/37. [Class 80(ii)] A gear-box giving five forward speeds, including an overdrive, and a reverse comprises aligned driving and driven shafts k and t respectively, a slow-speed countershaft x, a highspeed countershaft l, and a reverse countershaft m. A pinion d on the driving shaft k drives the low speed shaft x through a pinion e which drives a pinion n of the reverse shaft m, which in turn drives a pinion s of the high speed shaft l. Loose gears rand p on the layshaft l engage with fixed gears f and h on the driven shaft t and are adapted to be clutched to their shaft by a sliding member v to give two different speeds of the driven shaft, one of these being an overdrive. Similarly the layshaft x has two loose gears also engaging with the gears f and h to give a further two speeds. The fifth speed is a direct drive by means of a sliding clutch member w between the pinion d and the driven shaft t. For reverse a sliding gear splined to the reverse shaft m is moved into engagement with the gear f on the driven shaft or alternatively the gear may be loose and constantly in mesh with the gear f and provided with clutch teeth for sliding into engagement with co-operating teeth on the gear n. Additional wheels may be provided on the countershafts to enable additional speeds to be obtained.

Title: New Apparatus for use in Electro-plating Articles or Pieces having Holes.
Filed: 1917-07-23
Abstract: 117,658. Platt Bros. & Co., and Colin, G. L. A. R. B. July 23, 1917. Electrodes; supporting. - In plating the interiors of holes in articles, and optionally the exterior surfaces at the same time, one or more articles and one or more anode rods passing through or into the holes are held in accurate relative positions by a frame which also serves for electric connexion and is suspended from buss-bars or the like. In the form shown, parallel plates a have apertures shaped so that contact is made over small areas with the articles C, which are in this case round bodies with shoulders. At intervals during plating, the articles may be turned so as to alter the surfaces of contact. The plates a are threaded on stepped rods c attached to end plates b having apertures. B co-axial with those in the plates a. Insulating washers d attached to the end plates are made with smaller apertures to receive the anode rod e, clamped by a screw in a socket h. The frame and socket are connected respectively to hooks f, g, resting on the conductors j, i. A flexible conductor may alternatively connect the anode to the hook g. All parts of the holder other than contact surfaces may be coated with an insulating material such as enamel, bitumen, or a mixture of tar and pitch. In another construction, C- shaped holders, each with three projections for contact with the articles, and end plates supporting the anodes as before, are clamped between nuts and lengths of non-conducting tube on a single rod. A further modification consists in employing clamps for the articles. Anodes may be supported at one end onlv; such as arrangement is suitable for plating the inside of cavities not extending through articles. The frame may be of wood or the like, preferably rendered impervious, unless it is always used in similar solutions The anodes may be vertical, horizontal, or inclined; different anodes may be situated in different directions.

Abstract: 1379477 Electric correspondence control systems SIEMENS AG 8 March 1972 [9 March 1971] 10694/72 Heading G1N [Also in Division G3]  A voltage representative of the angular speed of an I. C. engine is obtained from fuel injection pulses at 25, Fig. 3, which are differentiated at 24 to trigger a monostable multi-vibrator 23, the resulting uniform pulses being integrated to produce the speed voltage at 36. This speed voltage is used to determine the angular position of a cam member 1, Fig. 1, by an automatically balanced return wherein the speed voltage U is compared with the voltages on the slider of a potentiometer 4 coupled to the cam 1. The voltage difference sensed by comparators 5, 6 energize a valve 2 or 3, depending on the polarity of the difference, to drive the cam and potentiometer slider until voltage balance is restored. The input to one or both comparators is biased to produce a dead zone around balance and avoid hunting.
