Abstract: A flywheel type magneto generator for a rotary engine comprising a stator including generating coil and a rotor including a flywheel connected to the output shaft of the rotary engine and magnet field mounted on the flywheel, characterized by said flywheel of said rotor having balance weight mounted thereon whereby the output shaft of the rotary engine is balanced in weight.

Abstract: A rotatable shaft positioning mechanism is disclosed for use with a multiple spindle automatic machine tool having a plurality of rotatable spindles in an indexable spindle carrier. A Hall effect sensor is actuated by a permanent magnet rotating with each spindle to develop a reference signal which starts a counter counting pulse generated by a pulse generator connected to the output of a stepping motor. The stepping motor is connected to rotate the spindle and when the counter counts out, the spindle is stopped at the preset position. The spindle is held in place and the machine tool may be operated for performing a machining function on a workpiece held in the spindle, for example, a cross drilling attachment, cross-tapping attachment or alternatively, the spindle may be rotated at a slow speed by the stepping motor to perform a contouring or assembling operation on a workpiece in the spindle.

Abstract: A plate grid in use for a plate for a lead storage battery comprising a plurality of spaced longitudinal wire members each including a wire element of acid resisting material and a wire element of electrically conductive material selected from a group consisting of lead and lead alloy wound around said acid resisting wire element. A collector of electrically conductive material similar to that of said electrically conductive wire element is provided which is attached to one of the ends of said longitudinal wire members so that said collector is electrically connected to said electrically conductive wire elements of said longitudinal wire members.

Abstract: The present invention discloses a process of closing a nozzle hole in the bottom of a tundish, which is used in pouring molten steel. The tundish has a bottom, which is generally funnel-shaped and, also, has wall means which define the nozzle hole. The steps of the process comprise placing a closure in the nozzle hole to close the same and then placing a finely divided chrome compound on top of the closure and into the nozzle hole and in an amount to at least partially fill the bottom of the tundish. The chrome compound has a sintering temperature of on the order of at least 1740.degree. C. The closure is provided by inserting a rolled up and pressed asbestos bead into the nozzle hole with an end of the bead extending out of the nozzle hole in a position to be grasped by a workman. The tundish of the present invention is operated by pouring molten steel into the tundish and on top of the finely divided chrome compound, which resides on top of the closure.

Abstract: A carton is provided having a hinged reclosable hooded cover, and recess means provided in the upper corners connecting the front wall panel to the side wall panels to provide relief for the upper body portion of the carton when the cover is closed, thereby preventing bowing or other distortion thereof.

Abstract: A damper for an overhead transmission line comprising a torsional bar disposed in a spaced and parallel arrangement with conductor means of an overhead transmission line; a fixture spacer to fix one of the ends of said torsional bar to said conductor means of the overhead transmission line; at least one bearing spacer to bear the other end of said torsional bar on said conductor means of said overhead transmission line so that said torsional bar is allowed to be twisted; and a pair of weights having an equal inertia moment and secured to said torsional bar adjacent to the torsional end and on either side thereof.

Abstract: A carrying tray is provided incorporating a top member of single face corrugated paper board which is bonded to a bottom member made of a single paper board. The bottom member extends beyond the top member and forms a substantially triangular beam bounding the perimeter of the top member to provide a rim for improving the stability and strength of the tray. A tab extending from one of the beams is adhesively bonded to an adjacent beam to provide strength at a corner of the tray. The tray can be economically and readily decorated using commercial printing systems such as flexographic gravure and silk screening.

Abstract: A voltage regulator for a separately excited generator including a main generator unit having generating winding means and exciting winding means and an exciter comprising a magnet field type generator with the output connected through a rectifier to said exciting winding means, said voltage regulator comprising thyristor means connected to said output of said exciter to short the AC output from said exciter from being supplied to said exciting winding means of said main generator unit characterized by further comprising a voltage divider including first electric resistance means non-linear in voltage to current characteristic, and second electric resistance means said voltage divider connected to the output of said generating winding means of said main generator, with the output voltage across said first electric resistance means of said voltage divider connected through a Zener diode to the gate of said thyristor means.

Abstract: This invention is directed to an automatic voltage regulator for a seperately excited generator comprising a main AC generator including an armature winding and an exciting winding and an exciter of an AC magneto generator associated with the exciting winding of the main AC generator. The regulator comprises a single controlled semiconductor switching device disposed in parallel to the exciting winding of the main AC generator and an output voltage detecting and control signal generating circuit which is adapted to detect the output voltage of the main AC generator and to apply a control signal to the controlled electrode of the controlled semiconductor switching device when the output voltage of the main AC generator reaches more than a predetermined value. The exciter of the AC magneto generator has an operating frequency higher than that of the main AC generator whereby the output voltage of the main generator can be regulated in a minute manner.

Abstract: A capacitance discharge stud welding apparatus which comprises a housing. A coil is positioned in the housing and an armature is located within the coil and is movable between first and second positions relative to the coil. A stud chuck is provided for the purpose of holding a stud and is connected to the armature for movement therewith. A relatively light spring constantly urges the armature and the stud chuck toward the first position of the armature in the direction of a metal member to which a stud held by the chuck is to be welded. Engagement of the stud held by the chuck with a metal member causes the armature to move to the second position relative to the coil and against the urging of the light spring. An electrical welding current circuit is provided and electrical connection means connect the welding current circuit to the chuck and to a stud held thereby.

Abstract: The method of forming a tube fitting assembly is disclosed in a fitting having a first bore through a portion of the fitting and a second bore larger than the first bore and concentric with and through a portion of the first bore. A tubing having a diameter substantially equal to the first bore is engaged against an inside surface of the fitting defined by the end of the first bore. Relative movement between the fitting and the tube deforms the tubing wall to engage the first and second bores and to form an annular bead of the tubing wall outside of the fitting assembly. The bead is swaged into engagement with an outside surface of the fitting surrounding the second bore. The foregoing is merely a resume of one general application, is not a complete discussion of all principles of operation or applications, and is not to be construed as a limitation on the scope of the claimed subject matter.
