Title: Improvements in colour printing of figures and objects in connection with embossing machines
IPC: B41F19/06
Filed: 1933-12-12
Abstract: 413,203. Embossing-machines. CRESER, A. A. T., 3, Manor Park, Richmond, Surrey. Dec. 12, 1933, No. 34941. [Classes 100 (ii) and 100 (iv).] Paper or like material after being embossed has the relief parts coloured by masking the intaglio die and interposing between it and the paper which is still on the relief die a colourbearing medium so that further operation of the embossing machine causes the required colouring. The relief die i is detachably fixed to the base a of the press and the intaglio die h is carried by a plunger f adapted to be depressed by a hand-lever e against the action of a spring g. A frame carries a colour ribbon k passing beneath a thin flexible plate or diaphragm j<1> which may have a rubber facing and is slidably mounted on the die h by means of rods l engaging holes in the die so that the ribbon k and plate j<1> may be moved beneath the die by means of a hand-lever m against the action of retracting spring. The ends of the ribbon k are wound on rollers k<1> on upstanding parts j<2> of the frame j, either roller being actuated to wind up the ribbon by a ratchet-disc p thereon engaged by a pawl o pivoted to the hand-lever e. A forked lever q is set to cause the required pawl o to be in engagement with the corresponding disc p. The paper is first embossed in the usual way, and the frame j is then moved by the lever m so as to place the plate j and ribbon k beneath the die h, so that a second actuation of the lever e causes the relief parts of the paper to be coloured. Arms r carrying paper-clamping pads are pivoted to the machine frame and held either in the clamping or raised positions by springs r<2>. A sheet guide a<3> is formed on the base a.

Abstract: 877,969. Protective cut-out arrangements. REYROLLE & CO. Ltd., A. (State Electricity Commission of Victoria). Feb. 7, 1958 [Nov. 15, 1956; Nov. 16, 1956], Nos. 34950/56 and 35076/56. Class 38 (5). In a protective arrangement suitable for outdoor type switchgear, the conductor between a current transformer, which ends a protective zone, and a circuit-breaker, which ends the corresponding sector of the system, is screened from earth by means connected to the main circuit at a point on the side of the current transformer remote from the circuit-breaker. In Figs. 1 and 2 one protection zone has current transformers D<SP>1</SP>, E<SP>2</SP>, and another zone has current transformers F<SP>3</SP>, D<SP>2</SP>. The top casing D<SP>3</SP> of the current transformer unit D and the screen G associated with the conductor C<SP>4</SP> are connected to the main conductor C<SP>1</SP> so that any fault between G and earth, or between the screens G of different phases, operates the protective circuit between current transformers D<SP>1</SP>, E<SP>2</SP> only and circuit-breakers F<SP>1</SP> are not tripped. A current transformer with its screened conductor may be arranged on each side of the circuit-breaker (Fig. 3, not shown) or a transformer arrangement as in Fig. 1 may be used with two circuit-breakers in series (Figs. 4 and 5, not shown). In Fig. 7 the screen is in the form of a shroud M which is connected to the lower casing B<SP>1</SP> of the circuit-breaker and the conductor C<SP>4</SP> is insulated therefrom. A voltage transformer may be connected to the casing B<SP>1</SP> with this arrangement and it will be within the protection zone of the conductor C<SP>1</SP> (Fig. 6, not shown). A screen O between the breaker mechanism and conductors may be connected to the casing B<SP>1</SP> or (Fig. 8, not shown) separately connected to a conductor leading to a point on the main circuit between the current transformers D<SP>1</SP>, D<SP>2</SP>. With the latter arrangement a fault between the screen O and earth will operate the protective equipment of both zones. In Fig. 10 (not shown) the current transformers are mounted between two series circuit-breakers with the shrouds for the conductors on each side, and the lower breaker casings all connected to a point between the two current transformers.

Title: Spacer for the Fuel Rods of a Cluster-Type Fuel Element of a Nuclear Reactor
Inventor: ZETTERVALL LEIF RUDOLF
IPC: G21C3/344
Filed: 1967-08-02
Abstract: 1,190,046. Fuel elements. ATOMENERGI A.B. 2 Aug., 1967 [15 Aug., 1966], No. 35497/67. Heading G6C. A spacer grid for a cluster-type fuel element comprises a plurality of annular members ecured to each other, each annular member containing two rigid supports for a fuel rod, the supports being inwardly bent portions of the the annular member, and further containing a resilient support for the fuel rod. As shown in Fig. 1, the annular members 2 are welded to each other, and to a central sleeve member 3 and an outer ring 1. Each annular member 2 contains two rigid supports 4 formed by providing two parallel slots in the wall of the member and bending the wall portion between the slots towards the centre of the member. Each annular member 2 also contains one resilient support consisting of a spring member 5 secured to the member wall by means of a rivet 6. The spring member 5 has two fingers 7 engaging the edge of the annular member 2 to ensure a firm connection between the spring member and the annular member. If, during operation, a fuel rod is subjected to bending, the spring member 5 will yield until the fuel rod contacts the rivet 6 and any further bending is then impossible. A support rod or tube is inserted into the central sleeve member 3, and two adjacent spacer grids are kept at the desired distance apart by means of a spacing tube surrounding the support rod or tube. The spring member may have but one arm (Fig. 4, not shown), one end of the spring member being bent outward to engage the edge of the annular member to ensure a firm connection between the spring member and the annular member. In a second embodiment (Fig. 2, not shown) the resilient support consists of a curved leaf spring, one end of which rests on a protruding portion of the annular member while the other end is bent through 180 degrees so as to resiliently engage a second protruding portion of the annular member.

Title: Photographic Camera
Inventor: SIMON HORST
IPC: G03B15/04
Filed: 1967-08-04
Abstract: 1,196,607. Photographic cameras. EASTMAN KODAK CO. Aug. 4, 1967 [Aug. 5, 1966], No.35948/67. Heading G2A. Photographic cameras comprise a rotatably mounted socket for receiving alternatively a rotatable multi-lamp attachment (e. g. a flashcube) or an adapter for single flash lamps, drive means having a drive element which co-operates with a driven element carried by the socket to rotate the socket, and a manually operable slidably mounted member for disengaging the elements to render the drive means inoperative. The socket 8 may be fixed to a disc 16 which is engageable for rotation by projections 7 of a disc 7a mounted on a gear wheel 5 which is driven, via a pinion 31 and a clutch mechanism 25-28 by the film wind mechanism 22. Gear wheel 5 is disengageable from pinion 31 against the action of a spring 18 when the adapter 1 is inserted in the socket due to an extension 2b of foot 2 of the adapter depressing a pin 3 of a coupling member 4 which in turn depresses gear wheel 5. Insertion of a flash-cube (which does not have an extension 2b on its foot) into the socket 5 does not disengage the drive mechanism so that operation of the film wind mechanism effects rotation of the socket and flash-cube therein. In an alternative construction, gear wheel 5 is manually disengaged from pinion 31 by pushing a slide (12) so that a wedge shaped cam thereof separate coupling member 4 and the disc 16 thus depressing the latter. Reference has been directed by the Comptroller to Specifications 1, 034,909 and 1,154,172.

Title: Automatic coupling for vehicles
IPC: B61G5/06
Filed: 1934-12-18
Abstract: 448,876. Automatic couplings for vehicles. SCHARFENBERGKUPPLING AKT.-GES., 25, Viktoriastrasse, Berlin. Dec. 18, 1934, No. 36276. Convention date, Dec. 18, 1933. [Class 103 (v)] Automatic couplings for railway &c. vehicles of the kind comprising two similar engaging heads, the coupling elements of which in the inoperative condition occupy a different position from that occupied when coupled, are combined with air brake and heating pipes and electric couplings so arranged that the pipe valves are closed and the electric circuits broken when the couplings are disconnected, but the valves are opened and the electric circuits established when the vehicles are coupled. As illustrated the invention is applied to a rotary disc coupling of the Scharfenberg type in which the disc 1, Fig. 4, is retained in the set-for-coupling position by a detent 7 on a rod 5, the detent being released, when a coupling is effected, by means of a spring-pressed plunger 8. The coupling is released prior to disconnection either by a pull-rod 5 or by admitting compressed air to a cylinder 15 so as to actuate a piston rod 14. A valve for an air or heating pipe may be formed by providing in a downward extension of the pivot pin 3 a bore 13 which connects or disconnects pipe passages on either side, according to the position of the draught coupling. Auxiliary parts I, II may be associated with the valve and connected to opposite ends of a control cylinder 18, the piston of which advances or retracts a cable coupling 16 having a protective flap 17. Alternatively the cable coupling may be brought into operation by means of links and bell-crank levers, Fig. 9 (not shown), moving with the pivot pin 3. Instead of the control valve being integral with the pin 3, in a modification the valve is arranged to remain open should the couplings accidentally part, thus permitting the emergency brakes to be applied. For this purpose the plug 26 is mounted rotatably on the pin 3, and is provided with a lug 29 engaged and actuated by a segmental member 33, Figs. 13 and 15, guided in a groove 34 in the valve casing and controlled by stops 30, 31 on a plate 32 secured to the upper end of the pin 3. In case the couplings should accidentally separate, the lost-motion between the stop 31 and segment 33 is sufficient to ensure that the valve is not re-closed; while, in case of hand or pneumatic release, a bigger movement of the pin 3 occurs and the valve does re-close.
