Abstract:
A hand knitting machine having a needle bed, a series of sinkers extending from the front edge of the needle bed, a series of corresponding number of latch needles alternated with the sinkers, an actuator movably supported on the needle bed, and needle selecting means. The needle selecting means has a central sinker on the actuator and at either side of the sinker a selecting cam having a duplicatedly inclined acting cam face inwardly backwardly of the actuator. The needle selecting means further has a control means to selectively restrain the needles from being subject to the selecting cam, whereby all the needle are divided into two groups each time the actuator travels in either direction on the needle bed.
Abstract:
An ultrasonic generator comprising an ultrasonic transducer having a natural frequency at which the dynamic admittance becomes maximum; a main circuit consisting of a switching circuit or first current regulator and a second current regulator connected in series to said switching circuit or first current regulator, the ultrasonic transducer being interconnected between an electrical source and the junction between said switching circuit or first current regulator and the second current regulator; a driving circuit for alternately driving the switching circuit or first current regulator and the second current regulator at a frequency equal to or substantially equal to the natural frequency of the ultrasonic transducer, thereby supplying the driving current thereto; and a feedback circuit for deriving an AC voltage in proportion to the magnitude of the driving current and feeding back this voltage to the driving circuit.
Abstract:
The timer circuit of the present invention comprises a comparator, which, in the example of the air conditioner, compares the room temperature measured by a thermistor with a predetermined value and charges the timer capacitor of the timer circuit when its output is in ON state, and makes the capacitor discharge when its output becomes in OFF state; thereby the timer circuit can produce the first set time, for example, by the abovementioned discharging time, in this first set time a compressor circuit being made OFF for prevention of overloading due to a too-early restarting, and furthermore, with utilizing the same timer circuit with a modified predetermined value of the comparator thereby producing subsequent cycles of charging and discharging and accumulating a predetermined number of repetition of the cycles, a desired longer time for the second time can be produced.
