Abstract: An inking device for a postage meter in a high speed mailing machine is disclosed, the inking device functioning to apply ink to a printing die in the postage meter between each printing operation performed by the postage meter.  The inking device includes an ink pad disposed in a reservoir and held therein by a cover member having an aperture through which an upper portion  of the ink pad projects so as to contact the lower printing surface of the printing die.  The configuration of the ink pad is such that there is a small channel or space between the outer edges of the ink pad and the inner edges of the aperture of the cover  member so that ink which is squeeze out of the ink pad during compression thereof with the printing die will not ooze onto the upper surface of the cover  member and eventually spread onto other parts of the mailing machine.

Granted: 1995-12-12
Abstract: A trailer coupling has a removable unitary coupler-receiving element that includes both a ball configured to receive a spherical cavity coupler and a cylindrical neck configured to receive a drawbar eye.  A latch is movable about a vertical axis between a closed position, where it engages the coupler-receiving element, and prevents removal of the eye from the neck, and an open position where it is separated from the coupler-receiving element and permits use of the ball.  A locking mechanism locks the latch in its closed position and holds it against free movement from its open position.  A trigger located in a finger-receiving cavity in the latch releases the locking mechanism.  Because the latch rotates about a vertical axis, it can have a low profile and not extend substantially above the ball in the orientation.

Abstract: The variable speed transmission is for transmitting a torque produced by an engine to a belt. The transmission comprises a shaft connected to the engine, a fixed flange and a movable flange slidably connected to the shaft and substantially  rotatable  thereon.   The  flanges  define therebetween a groove for receiving the belt. A pressure device is rigidly connected to the movable flange.   The pressure device has a pair of pressure units diametrically opposed for  pressurizing  fluids.  Each  pressure  unit comprises a first fluid chamber , a second fluid chamber, a radially  movable  partition  separating  the  first  fluid chamber from the second fluid chamber, resilient means for applying a return force toward the shaft counterbalancing the  centrifugal  force,  and  a fixed  partition  rigidly connected to the shaft. The fixed partition also separates the first fluid chamber from the second fluid chamber. As the centrifugal force urges the movable partitions away from the shaft, the fluids in the first fluid chambers are urged to circulate away from the shaft, and the fluids in the second fluid chambers are urged to circulate, generating a sliding movement of the pressure device and of the movable flange toward the fixed flange. This sliding movement causes a variable transmission of torque from said engine to the belt.

Title: Centering means for holes of intramedullary nails
Inventor: FACCIOLI GIOVANNI
IPC: A61B17/00
Filed: 1993-09-20
Granted: 1996-07-16
Abstract: A jig is detachably secured to the proximal end of an installed intramedullary nail having a transverse bolt hole near the distal end of the nail.  The jig comprises an offsetting arm which so mounts an elongate template as to be movable in a geometric plane substantially parallel to the nail.  A guide bore near the distal end of the template is on an axis perpendicular to the geometric plane.  When the jig is chucked to the nail, the axis of the guide bore of the template is parallel to the axis of the bolt hole of the nail, and both the guide-bore axis and the bolt-hole axis are at identical distance from the offsetting arm.  The distal end of the template is adapted to removably mount a metal-detector establishing a magnetic-field about a directional axis, such that the metal-detector can be selectively moved or positioned on one and then the other side of a central position in which the template is strictly parallel to the nail.  Template positions noted for equal detector signals on opposite sides of the central position enable determination of the central position and therefore the location at which the template guide bore is in axial alignment with the bolt hole of the nail.

The pulse width modulated output signal from the secondary winding on the switching transformer passes through the full wave rectifier and thereafter being alternately switched through the low pass filter whereby the original input waveform is reconstructed but at a greatly increased power level. This output signal is connected to a power take off point such as electrical terminals where an electrical load or loudspeaker is connected for audio reproduction.

Abstract: In parlour games it is known that different basic rules and functions are imposed or designated to various game pieces and the surfaces on which they are operated, with random chance and instruction cards often being utilised to imitate true-to-life situations.  Parts or all of this invention may interact with many prior art games by using compound pieces made up of parent pieces which have attached to them Kinetically Deployable Counterparts (Hereinafter referred to as KINETICALLY DEPLOYABLE COUNTERPART or KDC)) which may be utilised to extend action from parent pieces, thus increasing potential choice. The introduction of goal areas in strategy games encourages players to take greater risks in leaving areas of relative safety in order to win or gain an advantage. Thus the invention dramatically enhances the necessary skills and enjoyment factor in parlour games, revitalizing prior art to provide improved entertainment for participants.
