Title: Control for electric circuit employing a cold-cathode gas filled valve
IPC: H01J17/04
Filed: 1946-04-03
Abstract: 610,407. Push-button lifts; indicators. WAYGOOD-OTIS, Ltd. April 3, 1946, No. 10350. Convention date, July 10, 1945. [Class 40 (i)] [Also in Group XL (c)] A control such as is used for operating an electric lift comprises a cold cathode gas-filled valve with a source of current for the anodecathode circuit and a source of alternating current connected between the anode-cathode circuit and earth, the control being manually operated by a person touching the tube envelope or a button connected to it. Fig. 5 shows a source of potential 80 which is sufficient to sustain operation once the coldcathode valve has fired, but is not sufficient to initiate the firing. When a person touches the glass envelope of the valve or press-button connected thereto, alternating potential from source 82 is applied across the gap between the anode 12 and the envelope of the valve and produces sufficient change in the field pattern of the valve to cause it to conduct, the source 80 maintaining the valve conductive when the press-button is no longer being touched. The voltage drop across resistor 81 is utilized for various control operations associated with the working of the lift, and for controlling indicating devices. The control is restored to normal by opening the switch contact 84. In a modification, Fig. 6 (not shown), the direct-current source and the resetting switch between the anode and cathode of the valve are replaced by an alternating current source, the valve ceasing to conduct once the press-button is no longer being touched. Fig. 4 shows a cold-cathode valve 10 mounted behind a transparent or translucent cover 43 which is illuminated when the valve is conducting. The paint on the outside of the valve envelope is removed and an area 52 on the outside near the top is covered with conducting material such as colloidal graphite, contact between this surface and the conducting press-button 47 being made by means of the screw 51 and helical spring 53. A shield 55 of conducting material isolates the valve from the outlet box and other unearthed elements and prevents unwanted firing of the valve.

Filed: 1941-10-17
Abstract: 571,721. Automatic guns. BAKER, P. Oct. 17, 1941, No. 10484. [Class 92 (ii)] A cocking and reloading handle device for use with gas-operated guns having a piston-rod G and return spring K enables charging or jam-clearing operations to be effected without fully stressing the return spring. Fig. 4 shows the parts in the cocked or ready-to-fire position with the cocking handle D and its support C, which forms the rear abutment of the return spring, locked to a projection Q on the gun body. On release of the sear F from a floating bent A on the rod G, the post H moves forward to lock the breech block P and fire the cartridge S. The floating bent then attaches itself by a spring arm B to the support C. The gun then loads and fires normally until the trigger E is released to engage a bent M and stop the fire in the breechopen position. To use the cocking device, the handle D is raised from its locking recess Q and the parts moved without stressing the return spring to the position shown in Fig. 2, a guard C' preventing the sear F engaging the bent M. The parts are then moved forwardly to load the cartridge S from the magazine and, the handle D being again locked against a slight pressure of the return spring, the position shown in Fig. 4 is reached with the floating bent A engaged by the sear F.

IPC: B23K9/00
Abstract: 105,485. Quasi-Arc Co., and Cole, W. L. July 25, 1916. Uniting by fusion.-Welded joints for ships, boilers, tanks, metal walls, &c. are produced by the oxyacetylene or arc welding processes, but especially by the quasi-arc process using electrodes as described in Specification 13538/14. Butt joints are formed between the plates, and cover-strips are applied in such a manner that, on cooling, the cover-strips are in tension and the plates at the joint are in compression. The plates are first united together and to the coverstrip c, Fig. 3, by added metal d, and then the cover-strip is united to the plates at its edges by fillets f. The cover-strip heats up more than the plates during the uniting, thus producing the result stated above. The plates need not be bevelled at their edges, and the strip c may be thicker at the centre than at the edges. The plates may be bevelled on the side of the cover-strip, and are then first united at d, Fig. 6, after which the cover-strips are welded on at g through holes or slots, the fillets being added last. The joint shown in Fig. 3 may have a strip added on the other side in this manner.

Patent GB-492513-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in or relating to machines for slicing salmon or the like
IPC: B26D9/00
Filed: 1938-04-07
Abstract: 492,513. Slicing-machines. DALENIUS, V. R. A., and NYSTROM, J. L. April 7, 1938, No. 10711. Convention date, April 12, 1937. [Class 28 (ii)] A machine for slicing pieces of salmon or like fish having skin upon one side, comprises a conveyer 4 which feeds the fish towards a reciprocating knife 14, arranged transversely to the conveyer, which cuts through the fish but not through the skin, the skin being severed from the slice by a reciprocating knife 25 also arranged transversely to the conveyer. The knife 14 is clamped in the ends 13 of arms 10 which are slidable on a rod 9 on which they are spaced by a tube 11. The rod 9 is secured to a plate 7 forming part of a bracket 5 pivoted on an inclined pivot pin 6. The plate 7 supports a motor 8 which drives through worm gearing, an eccentric coupling by its rod 19 to one of the arms 10. A crank-pin 23 on the eccentric shaft 17 engages a slot in a lever 20 pivoted at 21 and connected by a link 24 to the knife 25 which is thus reciprocated oppositely to the knife 14. The fish abuts against a stop plate 12 carried by the tube 11. The knife 25 is secured to a dovetail guide rail 26 carrying a pin 28 having a pivotal head 29 to which the link 24 is connected. In operation, the rod 9 is lifted about the pivot 6 to raise the knife 14 above the fish. A projection upon the bracket 5 strikes a pawl-lever which rotates a ratchet-wheel connected by gearing to one of the rollers supporting the conveyer 4. The raising of the knife thus feeds the fish forward for slicing, and the slice-thickness is regulated by a stop pin, associated with any one of a series of holes, which regulates the extent to which the pawl-lever is returned under the influence of a spring. The motor may be mounted on the machine frame, the transmission mechanism being suitably modified. The slices are received upon a table 30.

Title: Apparatus for packaging yarn or yarn-like material
IPC: B65H54/82
Filed: 1967-03-07
Abstract: 1,141,559. Coiling. JOSEPH BANCROFT & SONS CO. 7 March, 1967 [14 March, 1966], No. 10732/67. Headings D1F and D1T. A coiling apparatus for forming a package (not shown) of yarn-like material composed of a plurality of successive helical layers 102 of a ribbon of the material comprises a rotatable support 50 having a ribbon feed opening (at 51) formed therein, a non-rotatable container adapted to engage the package and prevent it from rotating and a turntable 10 which rotates with the support 50 for feeding the ribbon through the feed opening into contact with the lower surface of the package. The ribbon of helical layers thereby displaces the package up into the container. As shown in Fig. 1, which is a partial plan view of the apparatus with the container and package omitted. The ribbon of helical loops is formed by wrapping the yarn (44) in loops around ball 55 using the rotating cone device 70, see also Fig. 3 not shown. The ball 55 is rotated in about a horizontal axis and thus deposits the loops onto the leading edge 51 of the helical plate 50. As the turntable 10 rotates the helical plate 50, which is rotated synchronously with the turntable, draws the ribbon of loop 102 upwardly and places it against the underside of the package (103), see also Fig. 2, not shown. The ball 55 is rotated via a drive (35) which passes centrally through the turn-table rotating drive (20). The post (95), which forms the core of the package and which is mounted on top of hub 80, is held against rotation with the turntable by a gear train (32, 86, 85, 84) operated from the turntable drive. The yarn-like material can be formed of fibres or filamentary material of natural or synthetic origin or food products, e.g. spun cereals or noodles.

Patent GB-1287523-A (GB)
Title: Switching arrangement and method employing motion transducer
IPC: G07F5/22
Filed: 1970-03-09
Abstract: 1287523 Counting apparatus; coin-freed apparatus SEEBURG CORP OF DELAWARE 9 March 1970 [17 March 1969] 11125/70 Headings G4D and G4V A unidirectional movement of an inanimate body is connected into a cyclical movement of a magnetic means relative to a conductor. All but one of the electrical pulses produced is removed by a filter circuit. In a preferred embodiment the fall of coin 62 through a vending machine strikes arm 54 of lever 52 and causes it to pivot about 34 so that cam member 60 pushes bar magnet 44 into coil 42. After the coin has rolled off arm 54 spring 50 presses against cam follower 48 so that magnet 44 is withdrawn from the coil and the lever returns to its horizontal position. The entry of the magnet into the coil produces a voltage pulse in which end 64 of the coil is positive. Current flow is prevented by diode 70. The removal of magnet 44 produces a voltage pulse of opposite polarity, so that a current flows through diode 70 to charge variable capacitor 80 and produce a voltage difference across output terminals 72, 74. The magnitude of the output voltage pulse is limited by diode 84 to its breakdown voltage, since at that value its reverse bias is removed. The duration of the pulse is controlled by adjusting the capacity of capacitor 80. Capa - citor 80 also filters out spurious signals produced by oscillation of the lever, whether due to a coin bouncing repeatedly off the lever or to fraudulent shaking of the vending machine, since the peak amplitude of these small signals is further reduced by the spreading action of the capacitor. In a second embodiment (Fig. 4, not shown) the coil encloses one arm of a U-shaped magnet. An armature mounted at one end of the lever is placed across the open end of the U-shaped magnet when a coin moves the lever, thus changing the flux density within the induction coil and so generating two voltage pulses, which are reduced to one by the filter circuit.

Title: Heel release for skibindings
IPC: A63C9/083
Filed: 1965-03-16
Abstract: 1,100,543. Ski bindings. H. MARKER. 16 March, 1965 [16 March, 1964; 20 March, 1964], No. 11144/65. Heading A6D. A safety ski binding of the type comprising tension cables 1 extending forwardly from the rear of a ski boot in position on the ski, comprises a heel release mechanism in the form of an abutment member 21 which is spring-urged into contact with the heel of the boot, the line of contact lying below the level of the tension cables when the binding is operative and being brought above said level to release the binding when the heel of the boot is raised relative to the ski. As shown in Fig. 1, the abutment member 21 is mounted in a saddle member whose bridge piece 17 is screwed on to a cylindrical casing 16 containing a compression spring 14 and a central shaft 10 fixed to a shaft 6 which is pivotally mounted between the ends of the tension cables. Rollers on the shaft 6 are arranged to ride over cam surfaces 25 on the saddle arms 19. Thus in the event of the boot heel being lifted from the surface of the ski, the member 21 is lifted above the level of the tension cables 1, which latter then act in conjunction with the spring 14 to bring the release device to the position illustrated in broken lines in Fig. 1, and the binding is re-engaged by placing the member 21 in abutment with the heel of the boot and swinging the member 16 upwardly to bring the device over-centre relative to the shaft 6. In alternative embodiments (not shown) the abutment member comprises a pivotable cam normally spring-urged into engagement with the heel of the boot and arranged to pivot to release the heel when the latter rises to bring the line of contact between the heel and the cam member above the level of the tension cables. An embodiment is described in which a tension spring replaces the compression spring.

Title: Friction shock absorber
IPC: F41A25/10
Filed: 1952-05-02
Abstract: 717.274. Frictional shock-absorbers. VERWALTUNGSGES DER WERKZEUGMASCHINENFABRIK OERLIKON. May 2, 1952 [May 5, 1951], No. 11213/52. Class 108(3) [Also in Group XXI] In a friction shock-absorber comprising rings 19, and segmental friction rings 20 which bear against the bore of a tube 12 rigid with one of the parts between which shock is applied, the rings 19, 20 are mounted between compression rings 22, 23, and springs 24, 25, the outer end of which are in abutment with axiallyadjustable seatings 26 on the other part, the travel of the rings 22, 23, in a direction towards the centre of the longitudinal axis of the rings 19, 20 being limited by stops on the other part. These stops are formed by the ends of a tube 18 carried by a red 15 rigid with the other rigid part. In the static position of the shock absorber (shown), there is a clearance between the ring 22 and the lower end of the tube 18. Each seating 26 bears on a respective key 27 which itself bears on a rod 28 adjustably threaded in the rod 15. The spring 25 is stronger than the spring 24. In operation, on downward movement of the tube 12 relative to the tube 15, the rings 20 are picked up and carried downwardly leaving the ring 23 abutting the tube 18. When the friction force acting between the tube 12 and the rings 20 becomes less than the force exerted by the spring 24, the rings 19, 20 slip back into engagement with the ring 23. A constant friction force, equal to the load of the spring 24, is thus maintained. Similarly in the other direction of relative movement, a constant friction force equal to the load of the spring 25, is maintained between the rings 20 and the tube 12. As shown in Fig. 2, the shock absorber may be mounted between a slide member 10 and a cradle 7 of a gun, Fig. 1 (not shown). Recoil is met by a spring 9, and forward movement is buffered by plate springs 11.
