Title: Appliance for linear bodies
IPC: H01B7/18
Filed: 1975-11-06
Abstract: 1530289 Sleeves for cables PREFORMED LINE PRODUCTS CO 6 Nov 1975 [6 Nov 1974] 46113/75 Heading DIT An appliance for attachment to a linear body 40 such as a guy-wire, cable or conductor, comprises a tubular member 12 having a slit 16 extending along its entire length so that the tubular member 12 can be mounted on the linear body 40 generally coaxial therewith; a helically preformed strip 20 on and extending along the tubular member 12, the strip 20 being wrapped around the linear body 40 in gripping relationship therewith before the tubular member 12 is completely fitted around the body 40; and a strap 31 on the member 12 for locking it on the body 40, the locking means 31 being at that end of the tubular member 12 towards, which a free end of the strip 20 extends. The helically preformed strip 20 can be formed from the tubular member 12 as shown in Fig. 5, or it can be formed from a seperate length of material and then be secured to the tubular member 12 by means such as a rivet. In the latter case the helical strip may be formed from a material different from that of the tubular body 12, for example the member 12 may be of polyethylene and the strip 20 may be of polyvinyl choride. Metals may also be used. The strap 31 may be permanently secured in position. By driving the assembled appliance to the right in Fig. 5 along the linear body 40, the helical strip 20 opens to allow such movement. If the tubular member 12 is driven onto an anchor stake 42, the stake 42 enters the tube 12 and expands it within the strap 31 thus locking the appliance in position.

Abstract: 1,210,412. Monogrammic signs. PITNEYBOWES Inc. 10 Oct., 1967 [21 Oct., 1966], No. 46304/67. Heading G5C. The elements 22 of a monogrammic sign are urged in passages 11 to display positions by fluid pressure applied selectively to conduits 13 against the back-biasing pressure of fluid contained in a recess 25. The fit of elements 22 in passages 11 is such as to allow bleed flow of fluid past elements 22 into recess 25. As described, each conduit 13 is connected to a laminar-turbulent fluidic device 15 comprising a collector 16, emitter 17 and control means 20, connected to a common pressure source 21. Fluid in recess 25, 27 is maintained slightly above one atmosphere by an exhaust 26 and constrictor means 30. This pressure may also be controlled by connecting a supplementary pressure source (39) to recess 27, Fig. 4 (not shown); by arranging constrictor means 30 to be controlled by a piston (35) operated by the pressure in recess 27, Fig. 3 (not shown); or by connecting the control means (20a) of a fluidic device (15a), similar to 15, to cause it to inject pressure from a source (38) to recess 27, Fig. 5 (not shown). Reference has been directed by the Comptroller to Specification 990,094.

Abstract: 1,142,833. Counters. WURLITZER CO. 18 Oct., 1966 [19 Oct., 1965], No. 46625/66. Heading G4D. In apparatus for totalling the value of inserted coins of several denominations, the insertion of a coin energizes a corresponding magnet 182 whereupon a pin 170 on its armature releases an arm 136 of a spring-pressed lever such as 132. As described there are four levers such as 132 corresponding to 1, 2, 5 and 10 cents and they move correspondingly differential amounts until arrested by the appropriate profile of bail 184, Fig. 10. This bail moves slightly to energize a motor (not shown) which performs one cycle only. The motor swings a bail 20 through 90 degrees to restore the lever such as 132 to original latched position, a pawl 154 driving a ratchet 108 and therefore a splined shaft the appropriate differential amount to add the appropriate value to a register (not shown).

Abstract: 1,091,150. Marking for sewing. HOL-MARK MACHINE CORPORATION. Oct. 19, 1966 [Oct. 20, 1965], No. 46865/66. Heading D1G. Apparatus for marking a plurality of plies for sewing comprises a frame, a support for an aerosol can mounted for longitudinal movement on the frame, and a needle connectible with the discharge valve of the aerosol can and formed with a central bore and with a longitudinal slot communicating with the bore. A base 22 rigidly supports two vertical hollow shafts 24 formed at their upper ends with longitudinal slots 40. An aerosol can support 26, longitudinally movable on shafts 24, has a baseplate 78 provided with handles 80 and formed with apertures 94 for the shafts 24, a hollow cylinder 82, and an upper flange provided with lugs 84 which pass through the slots 40 and are engaged by springs 46 to bias support 26 to a topmost position. Cylinder 82 receives an inverted aerosol can 96, the conical discharge end 102 of which passes through an aperture 90, and the base of which is engaged by a pivoted retaining lug 86. The discharge boss 104 of can 96 is releasably connected by a hollow coupling 106 to a hollow needle 28 which passes through an aperture 74 in a plate 64 rigid with a sleeve 66 longitudinally adiustable on a shaft 24. Needle 28 also passes through a tube 56, the lower end of which is secured in base 22 and the upper end of which is secured in a boss 52 on a plate 48 bridging the shafts 24. The point 118 of needle 28 is normally located at the bottom surface of base 22, and needle 28 is formed with a transverse slot (120) extending substantially the length of tube 56. In use, plate 64 is positioned at a distance from coupling 106 equal to the thickness of the plies to be marked, the device is placed on the plies with tube 56 aligned with the position to be marked, and handles 80 are manipulated to lower support 26 until coupling 106 engages plate 64 momentarily to actuate the discharge valve of can 96. The aerosol, which comprises a chalk suspension, is thereby propelled laterally through slot (120) to mark all the plies simultaneously. On release of the handles 80, support 26 rises to its initial position.

Title: Information storage arrangements
IPC: G11C11/36
Filed: 1970-10-06
Abstract: 1323577 Matrix stores WESTERN ELECTRIC CO Inc 6 Oct 1970 [8 Oct 1969] 47391/70 Heading G4C [Also in Division H3] Each storage cell in a matrix has two series diodes such as 26, 27 one of which 27 has a longer minority-carrier lifetime than the other, and stores a charge representing 0 or 1 when the diodes are made to conduct, this charge being transferred to the junction capacitance of the other diode 26 when the diodes are reversebiased after a write operation. Diodes 26, 27 are Schottky and charge-storage diodes respectively. A cross-point in the matrix is selected by taking its Y line to a higher potential, by earthing to input of circuit 40 (details in Fig. 2, not shown), and taking the X line to a lower potential, by applying a positive signal to an inverter circuit 30 (details in Fig. 4, not shown). These selection potentials produce currents in the selected lines, say X1, Y1, which charge further charge-storage diodes 72, 78 in these lines. To write a 1 or a 0, a circuit 50 supplies a positive or a less positive signal to the charge storage diode 72, whose stored charge is thus transferred, as it becomes reverse-biased, into the cell diodes 26, 27 which now conduct. The resulting charge in diode 27 of the cell is transferred to D26 capacitance when the selection potentials on X1, Y1 are removed to reverse bias D26, D27. To read, the selection potentials are applied as before to X1 Y1, and a positivegoing ramp voltage is applied from circuit 50 through the charge-storing diode 72 to the cell. When the ramp reaches a level to cause the charge on D26 capacitance to forward bias D27 a step in current flows through the Yl line and its charge storage diode 78 into the current sensor 60. The time at which this step occurs (t 2  or t 4 , Fig. 6, not shown) depends upon whether a 1 or a 0 was stored, and this is determined by gating the sensor 60 with a timing control circuit 80. As the ramp continues to rise, diode 26 is also forward biased, and the output current rises in dependence upon the ramp and diode characteristics.
