Title: Improvements in sheet registering mechanism
IPC: B41F21/10
Filed: 1951-08-21
Abstract: 705,757. Feeding sheets. HOE & CRABTREE, Ltd., R. Aug. 21, 1951 [Aug. 22, 1950], No. 19732/51. Class 100 (1) Faulty feed control devices.-A sheet-registering cylinder having means incorporated for detecting faulty sheet register thereon, is combined with rollers driven reversely to the cylinder and adapted automatically to engage the cylinder to remove a faulty sheet therefrom. As applied to a sheet-registering cylinder disclosed in Specification 697,324, a sheet S is urged against front stops 5 by driven tapes 4 passing around a roller 15. The cylinder 1 includes a detector shaft 6 to which is secured a follower 7 engaging a cam 8, and ejector rods 9 serve to lift the front edge of a mis-registered sheet to prevent it being taken by the sheet forwarding grippers 10. A number of stripper rollers 11 are secured to a shaft 12 carried by arms 13 which swing freely on a shaft 14 to which the tape roller 15 is secured. The shaft 12 is driven from the shaft 14 which in turn is driven from the cylinder 1. The shaft 12 can be swung about the shaft 14 by a cam follower arm 16 attached to one arm 13 and cooperating with a cam 17 rotating with the cylinder 1. The arm 16 extends upwardly and is connected to spring mechanism 18 which tends to swing the arm 16 counterclockwise. A latch bar 20,- pivoted at 21, hooks over a latch pin 22 on the arm 16. An arm 24 fixed to the detector shaft 6 carries a roller 25 for engaging the bar 20, so that the stripper rollers 11 can engage the cylinder 1. In operation, if a sheet S is properly registered, the shaft 6 rocks clockwise, and the arm 24 drops ; if, however, a sheet is not registered accurately, the shaft 6 is not rocked, and as the cylinder 1 rotates, the roller 25 trips the latch bar 20. The grippers 10 cannot engage the leading edge of the sheet due to the action of the ejector rods 9, and, when allowed to by the cam 17, the stripper rollers 11 engage the cylinder 1. As these rollers rotate in direction reverse to that of the cylinder 1, they wipe the leading edge of the sheet back on the cylinder, giving it a buckle-fold between the rollers 11, 15, thus removing the sheet from the cylinder.

Title: Interlock circuit
Inventor: TAUB DANIEL MATTHEW
IPC: H03M11/02
Filed: 1966-05-05
Abstract: 1,082,426. Transistor switching circuits. INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS MACHINES CORPORATION. May 5, 1966, No. 19903/66. Heading H3T. [Also in Divisions B6 and G4] An electronic latching circuit suitable for use in a touch-operated keyboard comprises a number of bi-stable circuits each having a " set " input terminal, the " set " input signal for each circuit causing the other circuits to be reset. In Fig. 1 (not shown), capacitive type buttons (Ka-Kk) when touched feed a " set " signal to the corresponding bi-stable circuit (Ba-Bk) and light a corresponding lamp. The " set " signal also passes through an OR gate (G) to generate a " reset " signal (at R) which is effective to reset any of the bi-stable circuits that are in the " set " state except that or those receiving the " set " signal. All circuits may be reset by touching button (K R ). The buttons (Ka-Kk) are one group of a number of such groups, a message being set up by pressing one button in each group and transmitted if the correct lamps are lit. If two buttons in a group are touched two lamps light and if this is not corrected as by leaving one finger on longer than the other, a fault condition may be signalled. In Fig. 2 which shows one button circuit A and one bi-stable circuit B the button K forms part of a bridge R 1 , R 2 , (C 1  and C 5 ) and Cin. Touching the button unbalances the bridge so that pulses applied at 10 pass via the bridge to transistors T 1  and T 2  to cause a capacitor C 2  to progressively charge. This causes the bistable circuit to be changed to its " set " state and lamp L to light. The lowering of the potential at the input of B causes the diode D2 of an OR gate G to conduct and so to cause transistor T7 of the reset pulse generator R to conduct. The resulting reset signal is fed in parallel to the other bi-stable circuits and also through D3 and R4 to the input of the gate where it constitutes negative feedback. As such it is smaller than the original " set " signal and accordingly does not reset bi-stable B.

Filed: 1943-12-02
Abstract: 573,168. Valve amplifying circuits. FERRANTI, Ltd., and TAYLOR, M. K. Dec. 2,1943, No. 20138. [Class 40 (v)] In order to improve the quality of sound reproduction from signals received on a limited frequency band, second harmonics of the upper frequencies of the received band are produced and added to the received signals. As shown, the received signals are amplified in the resistance-capacity coupled valve stages 2, 29. Part of the output from the stage 2 is passed to a frequency-doubling pair of rectifiers 10, 12 through a T -section filter F<1> and transformer 6. The filter F<1> passes only the upper frequencies of the received band and the diodes are arranged to give a square-law output so that only second harmonics are produced across the load resistance 15. These pass through an amplifier 16 to a second T -section filter F<11> which removes all frequencies below the upper limit of the received band. The second harmonics remaining are fed into the grid circuit of the second amplifier stage 29. The diodes 10, 12 may be in one envelope with the triode 16, or with a pentode substituted therefor.

Title: Improvements in and relating to airship mooring masts
IPC: B64F1/14
Filed: 1927-08-04
Abstract: 300,161. Davis, F. W., and Cleveland Bridge & Engineering Co., Ltd. Aug. 4, 1927. Anchoring.-An airship mooring- mast has a conical cup member f carried upon a crosshead g secured to two recoil cylinders h slung by arms i<1> from a horizontal shaft i carried by a vertical pillar b rotatable about a vertical axis. The pillar b rotates about or within a central tubular member c at the top of the mast. The cylinders h are double, the crosshead g being connected to an inner cylinder h<1> having a piston k connected by a hollow piston-rod l to a crosshead m connected bv a link n to the pillar b so that the inclination of the cylinders as well as the extension of the cross head g can be controlled by fluid pressure. The axial movement of the cylinders may be effected by a separate cylinder or by a small motor. Alternatively a separate cylinder acting upon the crosshead m may control the inclination of the cylinders h in which case the cylinders h need not be underslung. The cylinders are locked in the horizontal position by bolts actuated by a plunger g<2> of a fluid pressure cylinder. The cup f is locked in the crosshead g by radiating bolts f<1> and a sleeve u behind the crosshead g is locked to a member connecting the outer part of the cylinders h by similar bolts f<2> actuated by an edge cam timed by a fluid pressure motor f<5>, or electrically. The member b also may be locked or frictionally held against rotation. Springs t or dashpots take up shock upon the mooring arm when in use. The mooring rope passes through the cup f and over a pulley p down to winding-gear in the interior of the mast. The various fluid pressure connections pass through the shaft i.
