Abstract: 726,455. Electromagnetically-actuated spraying pumps. WELCH, L. July 13, 1953 [April 17, 1953], No. 10545/53. Class 102 (1). In a spray gun, the pump piston 14 is actuated bv a vibratory electric motor 19 and two alternative connections 9, 10 are provided for the attachment of a liquid container. The connection 10 is surrounded by a threaded boss 27 for the reception of a bottle 28 and a tube 29 is attached to the connection 10 and the liquid raised by suction. A bottle may be screwed directly into the connection 9 so that the liquid flows into the pump by gravity. The connections 9 or 10 not being used is closed by a screw. The housing is pistol-shaped and in two halves for removal of the pump and motor. The motor armature abuts a thrust rod 16, mounted in bearings 17, which abuts the piston 14 that is loaded by a spring 15; the stroke of the pump is adjusted by an abutment 24 fitted with a sound deadening tip 31. A switch 21 is actuated by a finger piece 22. The pump piston controls inlet ports 12, 13 and a delivery valve 23 is provided.

Title: Improvements in and relating to electrical musical instruments
IPC: G10H1/055
Filed: 1930-04-03
Abstract: 339,225. Martenot, M. L. E. April 3, 1930. [A Specification was laid open to inspection under Sect. 91 of the Acts, April 4, 1930.] Electrically vibrated instruments.- The keys of an electrical instrument employing oscillating circuits are pivotally movable laterally as well as vertically and control means varying the frequency and intensity: a vibrato may thus be obtained. Depression of a key 45 freely pivoted at 46 closes an electrical contact producing a note, and also brings a small brush 51 against a wire 49 connected to the movable plate 44 of a condenser, so that on lateral oscillation of the key between stops 47 a vibrato is obtained by viariation of frequency. At the same time, the key actuates a variable resistance 54 by a connection 52 so that the intensity increases with depth of touch. Variable inductances may be used. The Specification as open to inspection under Sect. 91 (3) (a) describes also a spring-mounted keyboard which is oscillated as a whole by the operator's hand and actuates a variable condenser, inductance, or resistance to produce a vibrato. This subject-matter does not appear in the Specification as accepted, but forms the subject of Specification 335,997.

Filed: 1955-04-14
Abstract: 792,267. Sheet-delivery apparatus. VEB PAPIERVERARBEITUNGSMACHINEN - WERK PERFECTA. April 14, 1955, No. 10765/55. Class 100(1)  A rear stop for material to be cut in machines for trimming books, stack of papers or the like on three sides, with a transverse knife arranged at the operator's side and automatic discharge of the cut material from the rear side of the machine, is characterized in that the rear stop 4 for the material to be cut is capable of being pivoted by means of a parallel crank linkage, controlled by a cam drive available in the machine, from the region of the conveying path of the cut material in the upward direction, and is adapted to be locked until the cut stock has passed. As shown a stack 3 of cut sheets is aligned against the stop 4 and the stop 4 is rotated on links 6, 7 by the cam means to the position shown in full lines and is held in that position by a spring loaded locking lever 9. The stack 3 is then conveyed beneath the raised stop 4 in a direction away from the machine operator. The stack 3 depresses a lever 11 against the action of a spring 12. When the stack passes beyond the lever 11 the lever is pulled back by the spring 12 and a lever 10, pivoted to the lever 11, engages the locking lever 9 so that the latter releases the stop 4 which is thus allowed to fall back into position ready for aligning the next stack.

In a device for test-irradiating a radiation detector itself serving a monitoring function, a radio-active source is controlled by means of an electromagnetic mechanism to displace angularly the source or an intervening screen to apply test radiation as and when required. The electromagnetic mechanism may be remotely controlled and may bring a source to an aperture in a shield or may move the source from a rest position to a position where the radiation falls on the detector. A number of sources may be brought to a corresponding number of apertures and the radiation may be directed at more than one detector. A number of different types of detectors are listed and suitable isotopes are exemplified. Use in a system to determine the alpha and beta activity of radio-active aerosols is referred to.

Abstract: 1,210,436. Testing vehicle chassis for distortion. R. SELNES. March 7, 1968 [March 8, 1967], No.11178/68. Heading G1M. A method of optically testing a vehicle chassis for distortion comprises selecting a fore pair and a rear pair of fixed points on the chassis, attaching a projector 5 to one pair of points and projection receiving means such as a measuring board 20 to the other pair of points and mounting the projector to project at right angles to the line between the pair of points to which it is attached. The chassis has a fore carriage 1 with a torsion bar casing 2 and a torsion bar casing 3 of a rear wheel suspension. The pair of points for attachment of the projector are determined by clamps 6 which secure a bar 7, on which the projector is mounted, to the casing 2. The projector is mounted in the longitudinal vertical symmetry plane of the chassis and a bar 7<SP>1</SP> supporting the board 20 is symmetrically mounted on the casing 3 by bolting together flanges 16, 21. The amount that cross hairs 17 and a curve 18, marked on the board 20, are out of alignment with the cross hairs and corresponding curve on the projector indicates the amount of distortion of the chassis. Alternatively the distortion may be indicated by a mirror 22 which reflects the image of the projector cross hairs on to a graduated scale mounted on the front of the projector.
