Patent GB-795223-A (GB)
Abstract: 795,223. Checking receipts. RIV OFFICINE DI VILLAR PEROSA SOC. PER AZIONI. April 26, 1956 [April 28, 1955], No. 12874/56. Class 106 (1). In key-operated receipt indicating apparatus, indicating drums for operator and customer are each set in one direction or the other according to the operated key in the corresponding order. Each of several orders comprises a column of spring-loaded keys 1 having lateral projections 3. On depression of a key, its projection 3 first actuates a common bar 50 coupled by rods 51, 52 to a linkage 55, 60, 56 common to the several orders. A lever 63 fast with the lever 56 shifts a slide 64 to the right. A cam slot 64a in this slide rocks an arm on a shaft 48 and secured to arms 70 supporting an aligning and locking bar 46 so as to disengage this from notches in segments 28 meshing with pinions 29 driving the drums 31. The lever 56 also rocks a lever carrying a pin 24 which acts on a notch 23 in a slide 7 geared to the sector 28 so as to zeroize the mechanism. Spring-loaded arms 19, 20 act on a pin 18 in the slide to assist this action. As the key is depressed further, its projection 3 engages a corresponding cam portion in the slide 7 and differentially positions the slide and consequently the connected indicator drums 31. The keys for the digits 4-1 move the slide rearwardly through 1-4 steps respectively, while those for the digits 9-5 move it forwardly through 1-5 steps respectively. Each pinion 29 drives its drum 31 through a pin 34 in the pinion which is embraced by a pair of levers 38, 39, loaded by a torsion spring and also engaging a pin 41 in the drum. Further levers 42, 43 pivoted on the levers 38, 39 are urged by springs towards the pin 41 and are formed with hooks adapted to engage the pin 34 to damp the movement of the drum. As depression of a key is completed, the lever 63 rocks a lever 75 to restore the slide 64 and locking bar 46. The segments 28 associated with the drums for front and rear indication are respectively coupled by bars 99. Each column of keys has a crowding lock formed by sliding bars 33 mounted beneath a lower keyboard plate 6.

The outlet orifice 28 has projections 31 which allow flow between the projections and into the outlet orifice. The valve member has a specific gravity less than the liquid being controlled to increase its sensitivity to liquid flow. <IMAGE>

Patent GB-2084323-A (GB)
Title: Underwater seismic testing
IPC: G01V1/02
Filed: 1980-09-23
Abstract: The invention relates to a method of estimating the acoustic signatures of seismic sources, used in underwater seismic surveying, in order to obtain more accurate data on their wave form in the far field. The pressure response produced by an array of sources is sampled by a hydrophone array larger in size than that of the array of sources and positioned relatively far from the array of sources; the individual response of each of the hydrophones in the hydrophone array is measured separately, and the wave form of the source array signature is calculated from these measurements. The hydrophone responses can be analysed in order to give a numerical reconstruction of the configuration of the source array together with its reflected image at the water-air boundary, or they can be extrapolated directly to the location of interest in the far field.

Title: Method of forming gaskets using a UV-and anaerobically- curable gasketing composition
Inventor: BOLGER BERNARD J
IPC: C09J5/06
Filed: 1981-12-02
Abstract: In the formation of gaskets a liquid gasketing material comprising monomer, UV initiator and peroxy initiator is partially pre-cured by ultraviolet exposure in situ on a flange. The partially cured gasket is then mated with another surface and further cured anaerobically to produce an adequate gasket and sealant. The method is adaptable for high speed production-line techniques to be applied on a variety of flange shapes and sizes. The invention also relates to a composition suitable for gasketing, which combines UV and anaerobic curing capability, and the monomer component of which comprises a compound selected from certain, defined diacrylate-terminated esters.

Title: Stretching dough
Inventor: ELEFTHERIOU NICOS MICHAEL KKAI
IPC: A21C11/00
Filed: 1982-02-20
Abstract: Dough processing apparatus comprises a pair of rollers 2a and 2b which receive pieces of dough 6 from a conveyor 5, "break" the dough in the nip 15 between the rollers, and feed the broken dough 8 to a further nip 17 between a roller 3 and a conveyor 16. The roller 3 is driven faster than the conveyor 16 and the rollers 2a, 2b and so the broken dough 8 is stretched as it is conveyed through the nip 17. A further roller 4, driven at the same speed as the rollers 3, performs a further stretching action on the already stretched dough 9. Scrapers 14 abut the rollers 2a, 3 and 4. <IMAGE>

Abstract: Apparatus for curving profiled elongate elements comprises at least three rotatable roller assemblies (16, 17, 18) adapted to engage the elongate element 10 at spaced locations along the length thereof, each roller assembly comprising a number of circumferential surfaces engaging different parts of the profile of the element 10. Where two or more circumferential surfaces of different radii are provided on any of the roller assemblies, the circumferential surfaces are provided on components 32, 33, 34, 35 of the roller assembly which are rotatably relatively to one another, so that the peripheral speed of each surface may be matched to the speed of the part of the element (10) which it engages, so that slip between the circumferential surfaces and the element may be reduced or eliminated, thus avoiding damage to the profiled element or rapid wear to the roller assemblies. Discs 32, 35 may be of PVC, and components 33, 34 of steel. <IMAGE>

Title: A combination of a support body and an annular pulley body
Inventor: HAAS ROLAND
IPC: F16H7/08
Filed: 1982-07-09
Abstract: A pulley body (11) is mounted for rotation on a support body (10) by a rolling bearing (12). The support body (10) comprises two sleeves (16, 17) each having an open end and means (20, 24) defining an aperture (21, 25). The two apertures (21, 25) are arranged on an axis eccentric to the sleeves (16, 17) and are adapted to receive a bolt (26) for securing the support body (10) to a structure (27). One aperture (21) is positioned at one end of the support body (10) where the head of the bolt (26) will be. To stiffen the sleeve (17) providing the aperture (21) so that thinner walled and thus lighter sleeves can be used, the sleeve at that end having the aperture (21) has a radially outwardly extending annular flange (19) in the form of an annular head. The flange (29) also provides a larger contact area for the head of the bolt thus reducing the pressure on that end of the sleeve when the bolt is tightened. <IMAGE>

Title: Production of dry transfers
Inventor: MCKIE PETER
IPC: B41M5/44
Filed: 1982-07-30
Abstract: An imageable material useful for making labels is described. It consists of a carrier sheet bearing on one side a pair of layers the outer one of which is adhesive and protected by a removable release sheet. The pair of layers contain components which react together thermographically. Strips of such material may be exposed successively in an exposure window to heat generated by contact with a master positive which contains a selection of symbols e.g. alphabetic letters which heat up when irradiated. The result is a series of symbols which can then be adhered to a desired receptor surface e.g. in the form of a label. The carrier sheet may be peeled away if desired to leave the pair of layers (of which the then outer layer is non tacky) attached to the surface.
