Title: Improvements in punching machines
IPC: B21D28/04
Filed: 1919-04-29
Abstract: 140,630. Craig & Donald, and Donald, R. C. April 29, 1919. Punching.-In a punching-machine, the punch slide 1 is lifted by links or the like with stepped slots 3, allowing the punch to be brought close up to the work by hand-operated means such as a lever 13, to facilitate setting the work. The links are so interconnected with the tumbler or gag 8 by stops 9 that, when the gag is turned into its disengaged position, the links are shifted so that the cotter 2 is disengaged from the step 7 in the slot 3, and the slide 1 may be depressed. A spring brake 12 prevents the slide from dropping by its own weight, and adjustable and removable cam-rollers 10 may engage inclines 11 on the links to disengage the parts 2, 7 when the slide 1 has been raised sufficiently. In a modification, Fig. 2, a pin 2a on a reciprocating element 5<a> engages the L-slots 3a in brackets 4<a> attached to the punch slide 1<a>. When the tumbler 8<a> on the slide 1<a> is turned into its inoperative position, it engages a tongue 9<a> and shifts the member 5a into such position that the pin 2a slides in the vertical part of the slot 3<a>. This may also be done by a roller 10<a> engaging an incline 11<a>. A hand-lever 13<a> and brake 12<a> are provided as in the prior modification.

Title: Method of and apparatus for washing bottles
Inventor: UNTHANK ALEXANDER
IPC: B08B9/42
Filed: 1962-03-21
Abstract: 972,149. Bottle washing machines. INCRATE BOTTLING CO. PROPRIETARY Ltd. Feb. 14, 1963 [March 21, 1962], No. 10781/62. Heading B8T. In a machine for washing bottles by immersing them in a washing and soaking liquid whilst they remain in the crates used for their distribution, the crates are fed to the machine by a conveyer 15 and carried through the machine by crate carriers 9 on an intermittently moving conveyer 8. The crates are first inverted at 16 and then pass between banks of sprays 17 and 18, where the bottles are rinsed, to a washing and soaking tank 20. During their passage through the washing tank the crates are rotated to create turbulence in the washing liquid and so effect more thorough washing. The Crates, still in an inverted position, then pass through a washing section 4, where they are sprayed with detergent, to a rinsing section 5 where they are sprayed with clean water, and thence to a tunnel 6, where they are dried by air from a blower 28 before being freed from the carriers and discharged on to a conveyer 30. The crates are held in their carriers by torsion bars which are made to release them at the feed-in and discharge sections by contacting runners, and the bottles are supported when in the inverted position, by grids on the carriers. The crates also have cam surfaces and rollers on their side members which contact rollers and rails on the frame of the machine to invert or rotate the crates. Specification 918,453 is referred to.

Title: Improvements in or relating to Change-speed Gear for Motor Vehicles.
Inventor: MANSELL GEORGE
IPC: F16H63/46
Filed: 1918-07-03
Abstract: 129,106. Mansell, G., (Mansell, H. J.). July 3, 1918. Controlling - apparatus, arrangements of hand, foot, and transmission gear in conjunction with; controlling different functions by same lever; setting-devices for controlling-apparatus.- Relates to change - speed gear controlling mechanism of the kind in which selector mechanism is located on, or in proximity to, the steering-wheel and is manipulated to set the change-speed mechanism for the required gear, the actual change of gear being effected automatically through the operation of the clutch pedal. A casing A, Fig. 1, adjacent to the gearbox carries a shaft b on which an actuating-arm a is slidably splined and adapted to be brought into alinement with any one of a number of rocking arms c, corresponding to the various gears each engaging with a sliding rod d for operating its respective gear. A shaft e is arranged under the sliding rods and carries arms f engageable with projections on the rods so that a clockwise rotation of the shaft e will cause the arms f to push to the right and disengaged position, as shown, the rod of any gear which is in engagement. By means of suitable mechanism mounted on or in proximity to the steering-wheel, the actuating- arm a is first slid by a rod o into position opposite the required rocking arm c, and the clutch pedal is then depressed in the usual way. The clutch pedal, or a part moving therewith, is operatively connected to an arm k, Fig. 4, on a sleeve i loosely mounted on a shaft h extending across the chassis, the shaft having a stud engaging in an inclined slot j in the sleeve, and shoulders i<1> on the sleeve are adapted to engage corresponding shoulders m<1> on a pair of sleeves l, m loose on the shaft but rotatable thereon by means of a stud and straight-slot device n. The sleeves I, m, carry arms p, q respectively connected by linkage to crank-arms on the shafts b, e. When the clutch pedal is depressed, the sleeve i engages with and partly rotates the sleeve m connected to the shaft e, and thus disengages any gear which may be in engagement. The sleeve i, as it slides along the shaft, becomes disengaged from the sleeve m, engages the sleeve l connected to the shaft b, and, when the clutch pedal is released, rocks the actuating-arm a to put into engagement the selected gear.

Title: Improvements relating to safety valves
IPC: F16K17/08
Filed: 1924-05-03
Abstract: 230,305. Babcock & Wilcox, Ltd., and Kemnal, Sir J. May 3, 1924. Safety valves.-A safetyvalve controlled by an auxiliary valve acting through a relay valve has the main valve member fitted with an anti-scoring device. The main valve seat 5 is formed on a cylindrical member 4 and is surrounded by an upstanding flange 6 provided with ports 8 and the valve member 2 has a seating surface 9 surrounded by a corresponding- ly ported sleeve 3 adapted to slide on the member 4. The valve member 2 is carried by a spindle 12 loaded by a spring 13 and actuated by a piston 11 having a leakage port 14. In the event of an abnormal rise of pressure a pilot valve opens against the action of a spring 20 and permits inlet pressure to act on a piston 18 and unseat a relay valve 19. This connects the cylinder 10 to atmosphere and allows inlet pressure acting on the piston 11 to open the main valve.

Abstract: 682,272. Torque-limit couplings. BENDIX AVIATION CORPORATION. May 9, 1950 [May 19, 1949], No. 11565/50. Class 80 (ii). [Also in Group XXVII] In a centering member such as a bushing 50 for an engine starter having a spline nut 24 drivingly connected to a surrounding barrel 22 through a torque-limiting friction disc-clutch 26 connected to the spline nut 24 and rotated thereby, there is provided a circumferential surface having a running clearance with the barrel 22 and embodying a slit; the invention also consists of an engine starter comprising an engine engaging member 12 connected to the barrel 22 through the nut 24 located within the barrel, the clutch 26 serving to drive the nut 24 from the barrel 22 incorporating the slit bushing 50. The starter motor is connected to the engine engaging or jaw member 12 through sun gear 16, planetary gearing 18, the barrel 22, clutch 26, axiatlystationary splined-nut 24 and screw-shaft 28, the latter being splined to the jaw member 12 which is engaged by a friction ring 36 and oil seal 38. The guide bushing 50 is provided between the end plate of the clutch 26 and a flange 52 of the nut 24; grease pockets are formed in the face of the bushing 50 abutting the flange 52. The radial slit substantially prevents radial expansion and contraction of the bushing, thereby avoiding binding between the bushing and barrel at high temperatures and ineffective centering of the nut and barrel at low temperatures; the slit width is determined by the temperature coefficient of expansion of the bushing 50.
