Title: Improvements in or relating to knife sharpening mechanism for cutting machines
IPC: B24B3/36
Filed: 1942-07-18
Abstract: 553,654. Cloth cutting machines ; knife sharpeners. STEVENS, A. H. (Eastman Machine Co.). July 18, 1942, No. 10034. [Class 60] In a portable, cloth-cutting machine having a vertically reciprocating knife and powerdriven knife-grinding mechanism moved up and down the blades, as in U.S.A. Specification 2,183,787, the grinding device is mounted on a carriage traversed by a pinion engaging a rack thereon and driven by oppositelydriven gears either of which can be clutched to the pinion, a trip being provided which is movable with the carriage and effects the change-over to reverse the travel of the rack and carriage at its lowest point. The grinding device comprises endless bands 15, 16 passing over pulleys 23, 24 mounted on shafts 20, 21 carried by a head 17 and splined to intermeshing pinions driven by a third pinion splined to a shaft 29 ; the latter is driven by worm gearing from a wheel 33 carried by a casing 34 which is pressed downwards by springs to bring the wheel 33 into driving engagement with the crank disc 14 for reciprocating the blade. This movement is normally prevented by the upward movement of the shaft 29 at the end of the return movement of the head. The shaft 29 drives a shaft 50 by means of a worm 49 and carries a bevel gear 53 engaging two gears 47, 48 either of which can be clutched to a cross-shaft 46 carrying a pinion 45 engaging the rack 40 carrying the grinding head 17. The clutch is operated by a hand-lever 60 fitted with a spring device 66 by which it is passed over the dead centre. When the lever is lifted the casing 34 moves under spring influence to bring the wheel 33 into driving engagement and the pinion 45 is then rotated to depress the rack. At the end of the stroke a projection 70 thereon operates the lever to reverse the drive to the pinion and the rack is moved upwards till the lower end of the shaft 29 is engaged by the head to lift the wheel 33 out of driving engagement.

Title: Improvements relating to colour television transmission systems
Inventor: WHITE ERIC LAWRENCE CASLING
IPC: H04N11/12
Filed: 1956-04-03
Abstract: 858,304. Television. ELECTRIC & MUSICAL INDUSTRIES Ltd. April 3, 1957 [April 3, 1956], No. 10069/56 Class 40(3). [Also in Group XL(c)] In a compatible colour television transmitter two separate non-overlapping channels are provided one consisting of a carrier wave Ln modulated by luminance signals and the other consisting of a pair of carrier waves An, Cn modulated respectively by audio and colour signals. The latter signals may be the "I" and "Q" as in the N.T.S.C. system or chromaticity signals of the type R-Y and B-Y or R-Y/Y and B-Y/Y the carrier Cn being modulated in phase quadrature by the two signals. With such an arrangement, since the colour carrier is outside the band of the luminance signals, the production of a dot pattern at a receiver due to the colour carrier is prevented and additionally colour synchronization is improved since the phase-reference "burst" may occur simultaneously with the line synchronizing pulses, have the maximum amplitude of the colour signal and continue throughout the frame blanking period. If desired, the colour band may lie between the audio and luminance bands.

Title: Circuit arrangement for developing a control voltage related to a peak value of a signal component of a television signal
IPC: H04N5/18
Filed: 1966-03-09
Abstract: 1,132,623. Automatic gain control; television. FERNSEH G.m.b.H. 9 March, 1966 [9 March, 1965], No. 10314/66. Headings H3T and H4F. A circuit for developing a control voltage related to a peak value of a signal component of a television signal comprises a capacitor arranged to be charged to a potential corresponding to said peak value and means responsive to the current pulse resulting from the periodic discharge of the capacitor to a predetermined potential to develop said control voltage. As applied to stabilizing the peak white level, the video waveform shown at 2, comprising video components between times t 2  and t 3 , also t 4  and t 6 , separated by horizontal blanking intervals between times t 1 , t 2  also t 3 , t 4  and t 5 , t 6  is applied by way of capacitor 6 to the base of emitter-follower 7. The D.C. component is held constant by means of a clamp circuit comprising transistor 11 which is periodically rendered conductive by means of negative - going line frequency voltage pulses applied to the base over capacitor 14; the clamping level is determined by emittercircuit potentiometer 13 which is connected between potential supply points 19, 20. Emitter follower 7 feeds a second emitterfollower 22, the output circuit of which comprises capacitor 23, which is thus charged to the instantaneous peak value of the signal, as at 24. At periodically recurrent intervals t 1 , t 2 , t 3  capacitor 23 is discharged to a constant potential by means of a transistor 25, to the base of which verticalfrequency impulses 28 are applied via capacitor 29. The emitter circuit of transistor 25 comprises resistor 26 across which is thus developed during the discharge period a control potential proportional to the peak value of the signal; alternatively, this potential may be derived as that across transistor 22, or resistor 26 may be replaced by the primary winding of a transformer and the control potential be derived from the voltage pulses in the secondary. The impulsive voltage drop across resistor 26 is amplified by an amplifier comprising transistor 32 D.C. coupled to an emitter-follower comprising opposite-conductivity pair 36, 38, which is A.C. coupled via capacitor 41 to an output emitter-follower 42. The signal 39 applied to the base of transistor 42 is clamped at the level of the pulse tips 39<SP>1</SP> by means of a clamp circuit 43 comprising a two-stage A.C. coupled amplifier 51, 52 fed with the verticalfrequency pulses 28, the final output being as at 47.

Title: Improvements in or relating to photo-electrically controlled mechanism
IPC: A43D119/00
Filed: 1941-08-15
Abstract: 551,986. Automatic control systems for feeding sheet material. BRITISH UNITED SHOE MACHINERY CO.; Ltd. (United Shoe Machinery Corporation). Aug. 15, 1941, No. 10374. [Class 38 (iv)] [Also in Groups XXXVII and XL]  Alignment.-Feed rollers 12, 14 engage near its edge a sheet of material of varied contour and their relative speeds are automatically controlled by photo-electric apparatus so that, while being fed past a given point, the edge is maintained at a uniform distance from the feeding means. The material overlies an aperture 40 through which light is reflected past the edge of the work to a screened photo cell 42 preferably rendered responsive only to infra-red rays, whereby the speed of an electric motor 70 is varied in accordance with variations in the light passing the aperture. This motor drives the feed roll 14 through reduction gearing 78, 82, 90, 94, 96, 80. A second, constant speed, motor 72 drives through skew gears 118, .116, the pinion 114 of a differential drive 110, 112, 114 coupling the two motors 16 the feed roll 12. The arrangement described produces, in accordance with progressive change in light falling on the photo-cell, a progressive change in speed of the roll 14 from 11.6 to 13.1 revolutions per minute, and of the roll 12 from 6.25 revolutions per minute in the opposite direction to the roll 14, through zero, to 25 revolutions per minute in the same direction. Thus, while the edge of the sheet is being fed, the sheet is automatically in a direction and at a rate which maintains the edge in the desired position. To cause the rolls to become disengaged from the sheet after compteting the traverse of one or more margins-a shutter may be operated to restrict the light beam, whereby,the rate of response of the photo-electric control is reduced so that the-rate of turning of the sheet at a corner becomes insufficient to maintain engagement between it and the teed rolls. Deceleration of the motor 70 is assisted by an electromagnetic brake arranged on the shaft 76 and constituted by a magnet coil housed in the element 88 and connected in series with fixed switch contact plates which are engaged by contact springs on a disc when it is urged forward by a cam slot in the shaft on a fall in its speed ; the energization of this coil attracts a brake disc 130 into contact with a face 138 on the fixed element 88: The photo-electric cell is associated with a valve amplifier in the circuit of the saturating winding of a reactor in a phase shifting circuit determining the phase of grid voltage in gaseous discharge tubes supplying rectified current, to the armature of the motor 70 which is in parallel with a resistance to provide regenerative braking.
