Title: An improved flexible or supple air-ship
IPC: B64B1/00
Filed: 1922-05-09
Abstract: 179,937. Rith, L. May 9, 1921, [Convention date]. Void [Published under Sect. 91 of the Act]. Aerostats.-A dirigible balloon is divided into compartments by bi-convex partitions, each filled with gas and air separated by a diaphragm and at a slightly greater pressure than the gas in the main compartments. One such partition is arranged at the front of the aerostat and communicates with the atmosphere through a pipe opposed to the wind, the entrance to the pipe having a fan operated by a screw propeller. The airship may be wholly non-rigid or the front half may be rigid. The lacings of the suspension are .arranged inside the envelope, only a small number of ropes passing outside. At points where fire may occur, the envelope is lined with valveless bags containing helium, the inner walls of the bags allowing for the necessary expansion. Movable horizontal and vertical fins and rudders are arranged at the front end of the airship. Steering.-Each fin comprises a balanced plane pivoted about a normally fixed shaft and carrying at its rear edge a second plane on a parallel shaft which is geared to the first shaft by a cord passing over pulleys of slightly different diameter so that the balanced plane is automatically adjusted. By turning the normally fixed shaft manually, the relative disposition of the plane is altered and steering effected.

Title: Tunable ferrimagnetic resonant circuit arrangement
IPC: H03B23/00
Filed: 1973-03-19
Abstract: 1416474 Ferrimagnetic devices; frequency discriminators; radio receiving circuits VARIAN ASSOCIATES 19 March 1973 [22 March 1972] 13075/73 Headings H3U H3A and H3Q In a tunable ferrimagnetic resonant circuit arrangement, the resonant frequencies of a pair of frequency selective circuits are controlled by having parts of each circuit magnetically coupled to pairs 2, 7, resp. 35, 36, see also Figs. 3, 12 (not shown) of ferrimagnetic resonator bodies whose resonant frequencies are proportional to an applied magnetic field in virtue of the gyromagnetic ratio of the electrons they contain, the pair 2, 7 being subjected to the magnetic field H provided by coils 31, 32 coaxial with polepieces 24, 25 of soft iron shell 27, the pair 35, 36 additionally being subjected to an offset field #H provided by auxiliary winding 34. The arrangement is tuned by sweeping the field H under the control of generator 37, the offset field #H ensuring that the difference between the resonant frequencies of the two circuits remains constant as they are both tuned together. A second generator 38, swept in synchronism with generator 37, allows for slightly different tuning rates in the respective circuits. Heterodyning arrangement.-The resonator bodies 2, 7 comprise part of a filter (11), Fig. 7 (not shown), resonators 35, 36 forming part of a local oscillator (17), the intermediate frequency (f 1 -f 2 ) corresponding to the offset field #H. Fig. 11 (not shown) displays an alternative local oscillator discriminator (49) comprising loops (54-55, 54-56), Fig. 12 (not shown), coupling both resonators to a differential amplifier (57) providing a D.C. signal whose sign changes as the input frequency on coax (53) varies on either side of the desired operating frequency of the oscillator, see Fig. 13 (not shown). The discriminator (49) controls a varactor tuned transistor, or backward wave, oscillator (48) providing the local oscillator output, which additionally provides the discriminator input. The pre-filter, and local oscillator are inter-connected in the manner of units (11, 17, Fig. 7). The resonator bodies are yttrium iron garnet, gallium yttrium iron garnet, or lithium ferrite. It is stated that the required degree of temperature regulation of the sweep generators is much reduced for given circuit performance, as compared with the known use of separate magnetic fields for each of pairs 2, 7, resp. 35, 36.

Title: Improvements in and relating to slicing machines
IPC: B26D7/32
Filed: 1928-05-07
Abstract: 307,247. Fitzpatrick, H. D., (Maatschappij tot Vervaardiging van Snijmachines Volgens van Berkel's Patent en van Andere Werktuigen). May 7, 1928. Cutting slices in succession.-A slice deflector is adjustable across the back of the knife to permit re-positioning of the deflector when it is rendered necessary by the receding of the knife edge consequent on grinding. The deflector is so mounted that it is easily removable for cleaning, and takes up the adjusted position when it is again secured to the machine. As shown in Fig. 2, the deflector 21 bears against the knife 11, and is secured to a block 17 which is clamped on a rod 15 by a set-screw 18. The rod 15 is carried by a bracket 13 mounted on the knife bracket, and is substantially parallel to the bevelled edge 16 of the knife 11, so that the block 17 and the deflector 21 are adjusted parallel to the bevel. The deflector is removable from the block 17 for cleaning, and when re-attached, flanges on the deflector embrace the top and bottom edges of the block. The securing screw 24 is prevented from becoming separated from the deflector by a shoulder 25 which is accommodated in a recess in the deflector.
Patent GB-401012-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in or relating to analysing mechanism for record card controlled statistical machines
Filed: 1932-05-09
Abstract: 401,012. Statistical machines. THOMAS, A., 11, Sandy Lane, South Wallington, Surrey. May 9, 1932, No. 13373. [Class 106 (i).] Analysing mechanism for statistical record cards using reciprocable card-sensing pins comprises a free connecting element 25 between each sensing pin 4 and the corresponding transmission rod 18 (for transmitting the card reading, e.g. to an adding sector &c.), one end of element 25 abutting the rod 18 and the other end resting laterally against the sensing pin 4, means (spring 20) for swinging the element 25 into alignment with the pin 4 when a hole is read, and means (plate 26) for resetting the elements 25 to normal. The heads 24 of the elements 25, upon which rest the rods 18, are pivoted at holes 23 of fixed plate 21. When the pin-box 1 descends to read a card between plates 11, the top of any pin 4 which passes through a card hole will move below the lower end 25a of its element 25 (which does not descend) and the corresponding spring 20 will rock element 25 clockwise so that its lower end 25a is aligned over the top of pin 4, and on the up stroke that pin 4 and its element 25 will raise the corresponding transmission rod 18. The plate 26, through which the shanks of elements 25 pass, has a part 31 engaged by a tooth 30 rocked by shafts 29 so that plate 26 is reciprocated left and right. As the pin-box commences to descend, plate 26 moves to the right to restore all elements 25 counterclockwise to normal ; during the remainder of the downstroke of the pin-box, plate 26 returns to the left to allow ends 25a to swing over the tops of all pins 4 which enter card-holes. No card in plates 11. In this event, all pins 4 descend, but to prevent the ends 25a moving to the left, plate 26 is held to the right as follows. A pin 40, rigid with frame 41 and pin 44, is normally held up against spring 43 by the card material. If there is no card, these parts descend and pin 44 rotates arms 45, 47 clockwise about pivot 46 so that the end of arm 47 obstructs a lug 49 on arm 33 of linkage 33, 34, 35, 37, which rocks the shaft 29 from shaft 10 ; this prevents plate 26 moving to the left. Arm 45 may have means for lowering it manually so that cards passing through the machine have no effect on elements 25. If it is desired to cut out the control of certain cards over elements 25, these cards would have a hole which is read by pin 40, so that the latter acts as in the case when no card is present. Specification 365,220 is referred to.

Title: Improvements in calculating or the like machines
IPC: G06C11/06
Filed: 1935-05-07
Abstract: 456,350. Calculating - apparatus. BURROUGHS ADDING MACHINE CO., 6071, 2nd Boulevard, Detroit, Michigan, U.S.A. May 7, 1935, No. 13476. Convention date, May 7, 1934. Addition to 408,795. [Class 106 (i)] A calculating-machine has an additional character, e.g. a$sign, on the type carriers, the sign being printed in the denomination immediately to the left of the highest figure of an amount, the necessary zeros being printed to the right of the lowest figure. The invention is applied to the Burroughs machine shown in the parent Specification. The printing hammers 32 have tails provided with hooks 91 engaged by latches 92 having projections 96 extending beneath the next lower order typo carriers 27. The carriers normally rest with the additional character at the printing line, the projections 96 then being depressed to hold the latches 92 under the hooks 91 to disable the corresponding printing hammers. Thus, when a carrier moves to set the highest digit, the next higher hammer is released to allow the additional character to be printed, but since the next higher carrier is not moved, the second higher hammer, and all those beyond, remain latched by the latches 92.

Title: Push-pull fasteners and method of fixing such fasteners
IPC: E05C19/04
Filed: 1955-05-12
Abstract: 786,294. Door-catches. GLOCKNER, F. May 12, 1955 [May 13, 1954], No. 13772/55. Class 44 A push-pull fastener for fastening together two parts swingable relatively to open another such as a door and a door jamb comprises a catch and a keeper therefore, the catch comprising a housing which has two surfaces 15, 16, facing one another, one or both of said surfaces having a spring loaded pressure member, preferably a ball, projecting from it into the space 14 between the surfaces, the keeper in the 'fastening position being adapted to engage in the space 14 the catch and keeper being adapted to be fixed by-screws to the two parts which are swingable relatively to one another and the keeper having means for holding its fixing screw 23 in its fastening position and being shaped so that before it is fixed to one of the relatively swingable parts it can be temporarily held in its fastening position in the space 14. In the construction shown, the housing consists of two box like parts 1, 2 intergally formed with a base plate 3 the facing surfaces of the parts 1 and 2 forming the said surfaces 15, 16. Each surface is formed with an opening 8, 9 and two pressure members in the form of balls 10, 11 are used, one projecting through each opening. The balls are loaded by springs 12, 13 which are maintained in position by projections 17, 18. The keeper is shaped so that it cannot rotate on its longitudinal axis in the space 14 and the opposite sides, which are gripped by the balls, may be of arcuate shape. As shown in Fig. 6 the means for holding the fixing screw in its fastening position consists of projections 24 which engage the thread of the screw, but the screw may alternatively be held by means of an apertured insert which can be of cup-like, disc-like or substantially tubular shape, the provision of the means for holding the screw in its fastening position makes it possible to use the screw for marking the position on the door at which it must be inserted. To do this the catch is first screwed to the door jamb, or example, and the keeper with the screw in place is engaged with the catch in its fastening position. If the door is then swung into engagement with the point of the screw it marks the door and the keeper can then be removed and screwed to the door at the marked point.
