IPC: B66B13/14
Filed: 1922-12-18
Abstract: 203,602. Waygood-Otis, Ltd., (Otis Elevator Co.). Dec. 18, 1022. Controllers with automatic release.-In electrically-controlled lifts &c. the switch in the cage is inoperative unless the gate and all the hatchway contacts are first closed and the main current is on; if the cage switch is operated first and the other contacts or the interrupted power circuit are then closed, the cage switch must first be brought to its " off " position before it becomes operative. The cage switch A is in series with hatchway contacts H, gate contacts E, and contacts 13, 14 controlled by a solenoid 10. When the switch is in the " off " position as shown, a cam 20 on the switch spindle keeps the contacts 13, 14 closed against the action of a spring 21. If the switch is moved to its first position 5<1> or 6', and the main current is on and the hatchwav and gate contacts are all closed, the circuit of the solenoid 10 is completed and this solenoid will now hold the contacts 13, 14 closed. Further movement of the switch to the second position 5<11> or 6<11> closes the circuit of one of the reversing switches R<1> or R, and this switch closes the circuit of the motor M. If any of the contacts H, E is open or the main current is not on, movement of the, switch and the cam 20 releases the contacts 13, 14, so that the circuit of the solenoid 10 cannot be completed even when the contacts H, E or the main circuit are closed until the switch is brought back to its " off " position.

Title: Printing apparatus
IPC: B41F15/08
Filed: 1958-11-03
Abstract: 845,700. Screen-printing. DRY SCREEN PROCESS Inc. Nov. 3, 1958 [April 1, 1958], No. 35181/58. Addition to 821,090. Class 100(2) Screen printing apparatus as defined in claim 1 of the parent Specification comprises at least two bands one of which is located along one side of the apparatus and one along the opposite side and diagonally disposed between the two members comprising a bed and a frame one of which is curved, the bands being caused to curve about an arc having the same centre as the curved member but a radius different from the radius of the arc formed by the curved member when one of the members rocks and moves along the other member. A machine of the type described with reference to Figs. 1 to 10 of parent Specification is modified in that curved angle members 92, 93 are fixed to the tracks 4 of the bed extending substantially the full length thereof and being curved about the same centre as the tracks 4, the registration board 7 and the stock 45. The flexible bands 16 joining the screen-carrying frame 12 to the bed are curved against the inwardly extending flanges of the angle members 92, 93 as the frame is rocked on the bed and since the radius 95 of the angle members is greater than the radius 94 of the tracks 4, the frame 12 is thereby pulled back slightly in relation to the stock as it rocks. This pulling-back compensates for the longitudinal expansion of the screen as it is heated. A machine as described with reference to Figs. 11, 12 of Specification 821,090 is modified in that curved angle members are secured to the side members of the curved screen-carrying frame, the angle members having a radius 100, Fig. 6, which is slightly less than the radius 99 of the frame side members. The bands 16 are curved round inturned flanges of the angle members and this has the effect of pulling the curved frame back slightly as it rocks over the flat bed.
