Abstract: 1,092,716. Laminates. WESTERN ELECTRIC CO. Inc. Nov. 18, 1964 [Nov. 19, 1963], No. 28653/67. Divided out of 1,092,715. Heading B5N. A laminate, comprising a thermoplastic core sandwiched between two metal sheets, is made by roughening the metal sheets to a depth between 0À1. and 3À0 mils, etching the thus roughened sheets, locating a thermoplastic sheet therebetween, and finally bonding the assembly by pressure at a temperature between 200‹ and 600‹ F. The roughening may be effected by grit blasting or by acid etching, using e.g. hydrochloric acid or ferric chloride, and the subsequent etching may be effected by a sulphochromate solution. The metal sheets may be wiped clean with a solvent such as acetone and vapour degreased by trichloroethylene before roughening and may be artificially aged by the application of stearic acid after roughening. In the latter instance the sheets are degreased before the bonding by trichloroethylene. The metal sheets may be of aluminium, stainless steel or a copper alloy and the core may be of polyethylene, polypropylene polystyrene, an ABS copolymer or a vinyl resin.

Relates to means for delivering matrices from a number of magazines to a single assembler entrance by means of an adjustable, guideway carrying a single set of escapementstrikers. (1) The escapement - strikers 14, which are pivoted on the sliding bridgebar 11 of the adjustable guide - way, and are operated by stationary levers 47, are so formed at their lower ends as to com. pensate for the vary. ing movement im. parted to them by the levers 47 in differ. ent positions of the bridge-bar. The tails 49 of the strikers, which are engaged by studs 48 on the levers 47, are inclined to the plane of the magazine mouths so that the strikers are turned slightly about their pivots as the bridge-bar ;s adjusted. (2) The matrices are guided from the magazines to the fixed assembler entrance 5 by partitions 12 on the bridge-bar 11 and partitions 13 on an intermediate plate 36, as heretofore. According to the invention, a second intermediate plate 39 is loosely anchored to the, assembler-entrance 5 by studs 40, and is connected by slots and studs to the plate 36. A compression spring may be provided to hold the plate 36 in contact with the bridgebar, and to extend the plates 36, 39. The partitions 12, 13 have side-pieces 43 secured to their lower portions so as to form pockets for the reception of the upper ends of the partitions 13 and of the partitions 6 of the assembler-entrance 5 respectively.

Abstract: 1283531 Folding apparatus LINOTYPE & MACHINERY Ltd 2 Sept 1969 [18 June 1968] 28889/68 Heading B8R A rotary folder is adapted to be operated in a "collect" or "non-collect" condition depending upon the setting of an adjustable cam 7. For "non-collect" operation, Fig. 3, cam 7 is clamped against stop 6 and in this position it operates the picker pins on cutting rubber cylinder 3 but holds the pins of knife cylinder 2 inoperative. Thus a printed web 1 from former plate 15 is carried around on the pins of cylinder 3 which are retracted by a further, fixed, cam 9 as the web is tucked into a jaw of folding cylinder 10 and severed by a knife on cylinder 2. For "collect" operation, Fig. 2, cam 7 is free to be oscillated by a cam (not shown) about a pivot pin (12, Fig. 1, not shown). Thus a web is first held by pins on cylinder 2 while the pins of cylinder 3 are inoperative and is then cut and transferred to. the pins of cylinder 3 while the pins of cylinder 2 are inoperative. A double thickness of web is thus accumulated on cylinder 3, severed and tucked into cylinder 10.
