    • 572,429. Drawing-tongs. NORTHERN ALUMINIUM CO., Ltd., and WHITTLE, W. Nov. 19, 1943, No. 19368. [Class 83 (iv)] A wagon for a drawbench tongs has retaining means that normally hold the hook clear of the chain, together with means for effecting release when desired. The hook 3, Fig. 1, is maintained in the raised position clear of the chain 1 by a catch 9 engaging a hook 10 on a spring-biassed lever 11 carried by a bracket 8, on the wagon, that also supports a spring 7 that is unstressed in the position shown. On moving the lever 11 the hook 3 descends under gravity to engage the chain, and at the same time stresses the spring 7. When the load comes on the chain, since the pivot of the hook is above the path of the chain, the hook assisted by the spring 7 rises, lifting the chain, until the catch 9 reengages. At the end of a draw, removal of the load from the hook releases the chain which drops to its normal position, leaving the wagon free to be returned prior to another draw. To prevent accident should the grippers fail to engage, the tube &c. and the hook consequently remain in engagement with the chain in its lowered position, a detent 15 engages a cam 14 on the hook lever to effect disengagement of the hook from the chain and re-engage the catches 9, 10.

    • 571,474. Furnace discharging machines. NORTHERN ALUMINIUM CO., Ltd., and SHEPHERD, L. G. July 27, 1943, No. 12221. [Class 51 (ii)] [Also in Group XXX] Manually-actuated apparatus for conveying articles from one position to another has the article-engaging means mounted in such a manner that it can be moved to any position in a horizontal plane and also vertically. The apparatus is shown in Figs. 1 and 2 arranged to transfer metal billets from a furnace to an extrusion press. Each billet 2 is supported by spaced prongs 29 mounted on a tubular operating handle 11 which is suspended from a trolley 7 movable along a rail 8 disposed transversely to the furnace 1. The rail 8 is carried by trolleys 9 which are mounted on rails 10 extending longitudinally of the furnace. Lugs 12 on the handle 11 are pivotally connected by a stud 13 to a member 14 which is pivoted at 15 to the piston-rod 16 of a cylinder 18 suspended from the trolley 7. When the billet carrier is to be lowered, a valve (not shown) in the piston is opened to allow the passage of fluid from the underside to the top. The valve is actuated through a rod in the hollow pistonrod, bell-crank lever 26, and link 27 by a lever 28 mounted on the end of the handle 11. The billet carrier, handle, piston-rod and their connections are balanced by a counterweight 20.

    • 566,033. Safety systems for electrically propelled track vehicles. NORTHERN ALUMINIUM CO., Ltd., and SIMON, V. April 2, 1943, No. 5308. [Class 105] In a system in which electrically-propelled track vehicles, for example cranes, are prevented from collision with one another or with end blocks by a relay 7 on the vehicle, cutting off the propulsion current when a vehicle enters an occupied or an end section, the sections being defined by a pair of interrupted conductors 2 arranged alongside the track with the interruptions 3 staggered in the two conductors and the relay being connected to one of the power supply conductors 1 at the intake side of the main switch 8 on the vehicle and to the pair of interrupted conductors 2 by means of contact shoes with the relays on alternate vehicles connected to power conductors of different polarity, there is provided means by which the driver can render the control function of the relay inoperative. It will be seen that if a vehicle enters an occupied section then the relays 7 on the two vehicles will be energized over a circuit from the +ve. supply conductor through a fuse 9, relay 7, contact shoes on one vehicle, to section conductor 2 and thence through contact shoes, relay 7 and fuse 9 on the other vehicle in the section to the - ve. supply conductor, whereby the relays 7 open their contacts 5 to cut off the propulsion current from the motors 6. The operators may, however, render the control ineffective by holding down a push-button 10 to effect a supply of propulsion current. At the end half-sections 4a, a connection is made to the - ve. supply conductor through a resistance 11 so that these half-sections act as occupied sections ; in the case of a 3-wire D.C. supply or a polyphase supply, this connection may be made direct to the neutral wire. The relays may be potentiometer-connected across resistances.

    • 744,053. Switching systems. NORTHERN ALUMINIUM CO., Ltd., and HOWITT, F. Jan. 8, 1954 [Oct. 9, 1952], No. 25300/52. Class 38 (4). [Also in Group XXIII] A control system for an automatic machine such as a casting machine, comprises a multipole, multi-way uni-selector switch wherein the operating coil 4, Fig. 1, is energized by a circuit between two contacts N1, N2 in each way 1 ... 25, other contacts N3, L4, L5, L6 in some or all of the ways being connected to operating circuits in the machine to energize the circuits when the poles of the switch engage the respective contacts and de-energize the circuits when the poles advance to the next way. The control system may control a machine for casting aluminium pistons in which the opening of the mould dies takes place in several stages, each being switched in by the closure of a limit switch or micro-switch or operation of a photo-electric relay at the end of the preceding stage. Photo-electric relays may also give warning of the absence of components such as sand cores, mould linings or steel inserts. The casing operation is started by pressing a button 14 to energize the coil 4 and advance the switch poles from the first bank of contacts to the second bank in which a pair of contacts are connected to a single pole, two-way limit switch 9. If the switch is functioning correctly, i.e. capable of being opened by a projection 11 on one of the mould operating jacks 3, 7 when the mould member has reached the correct position, it will complete the circuit through the contacts and transmit a pulse to the coil 4 which then advances the poles to way 3. The contacts of this bank are connected to the switch 9 and to a gas-filled valve or an operating coil 6 for controlling a valve 2 to supply air to the jack. Operation of the latter, which is terminated by the projection 11 closing the switch 9 to transmit a pulse to the coil and again advance the poles, opens a switch 10 for limiting movement of the jack in the return direction. Preferably the limit switch for each operation is checked in the above way, the poles of the selector switch remaining against the bank of contacts connected to any faulty switch. When several parts of the mould are moved together the limit switches are series connected in the manner shown in Fig. 3 to prevent transmission of a pulse to the coil 4 until all the contact switches have the same setting, either C or D. The automatic cycle is arranged to start with the closing of the mould, and the limit switch closed at the end of the mould closure is arranged to switch in an operator circuit including a pyrometer located in one of the outer dies of the mould. The pyrometer controls a capacity relay which switches in an electronic timer when the mould temperature has reached a certain level following the pouring operation which is effected by hand. At the end of the time interval, the coil 4 is energized to advance the poles and switch in the first of the operator circuits controlling opening of the mould dies. The side dies and gudgeon-pin bore dies of the piston mould are moved apart simultaneously, the central core die then being withdrawn followed by the moving together of the outer core-dies. In order to prevent the dies from becoming too cool during the interval between successive casting cycles, a second electronic timer may be switched in when the outer core-dies complete their movements, this timer sounding an alarm bell if the dies are not closed and a further casting poured during the set time interval. The capacity relay of the pyrometer normally de-energizes the circuit of the warning timer through advancement of the selector switch. Up to twelve uni-selector switches may be controlled by a single uniselector switch to provide more operating contacts. Electronic timing relays may be used to time the interval between successive operations in a cycle of operations or between successive cycles, and hydraulic cylinders or electric motors may be used to effect the movements in the cycle. The Provisional Specification refers also to the use of relays and warning lights in the test circuits of the limit switches and to testing all the circuits before the machine cycle proper commences.
