Title: Furniture joint
Inventor: GILMARTIN DENIS ANTHONY
IPC: A47B57/52
Filed: 1987-03-12
Abstract: A joint for interengaging rigid elements of a self-assembly furniture construction is disclosed, such as uprights (2) and shelves (6) in an adjustable wall-mounted or freestanding shelving system, or panels, screens or room-dividers with supporting uprights, or panel units in a modular office furniture system. The upright (2) is provided with a series of holes (1) orientated at a compound angle to a plane which includes the longitudinal axis of the upright, e.g. sloping downwardly and away from the front face (4) of the upright. A connector such as a shelf supporting clamp (7) is provided with rigid limbs (3) projecting therefrom which slide into holes (1), but as they do so, a turning force acts upon the limbs (3) to jam them in the holes (1) once the shelf (6) is brought into firm engagement against the upright. A weight on the shelf (6) tends to apply a further jamming force which "locks on", even when the weight is removed. The shelf can be removed by applying a sharp blow simultaneously to the underside (5) of the shelf and to the outer edge of the shelf. In other applications described, the joint incorporates a V- clamp, an L-clamp, or dog-leg pin as a suitable connector. <IMAGE>

Title: Target detection mechanism
Inventor: SCHOTTELIUS HORST-ULF
IPC: F41G7/22
Filed: 1987-03-20
Abstract: A target detection mechanism 3 for a guided missile 1, which is to be able to home-in on a target object, detected at a displacement angle (a), in accordance with the principles of collision-course or proportional navigation, uses overlapping detector elements 11 on the longitudinal axis 10 of the missile. Its design allows a compact and insensitive construction and a favourable ray path with respect to the geometry of the head 2 of the missile 1. Optical system 8 projects an image of the target object (35, Fig. 1) into the detector plane 9 the output of whose detectors 11 gives the angle  alpha <1> of the line-of-site 15 to the target object (35, Fig. 1). Preferably the ray path through the lens 8 is reflected by mirror 30 so that the detector plane 9 lies close to the longitudinal axis 10. Alternatively the detector plane may be perpendicular to the missile axis (Fig. 1). <IMAGE>

Patent GB-881323-A (GB)
Abstract: 881,323. Cash registers. GROSS, H., and GROSS, S. Feb. 24, 1958 [Feb. 26, 1957], No. 6419/57. Class 106 (1). In a key-set-and-operated cash register, the total may be printed from a set of type wheels 15 by operating a single control member 40, 42 which moves a member 24 normally rendering the type wheels inaccessible and locks the type wheels against rotation in addition to actuating a platen 20. Normal operation of the machine is also prevented during total printing. The arrangement may be such as to necessitate operation of a zeroizing mechanism after the printing of a total. Total printing.-Printing is effected on a card or strip 29, Fig. 6, arranged between the type wheels 15 and the platen 20 together with a removable inking member 28. On depression of a handle 42, Fig. 2, the member 40 is rocked about a pivot 41 in the totalizer frame and cams a latching arm 60 also pivoted in that frame over a bar 63 fixed in the main frame of the machine so that rocking of the totalizer frame to engage the totalizer with the actuators as described in Specification 618,357 is prevented. Moreover, a cam slot 44 rocks a plate 26 against transfer pawls 16 so as to prevent rotation of the type wheels, and a cam slot 45 rocks an arm 51 which rotates a shroud 24 about the totalizer shaft 14 so as to expose the type wheels. A further cam slot 43 then rocks the frame 47, 21 carrying the platen to take the impression. A mechanism 54, 55 ensures that the control member 40 is given a full stroke. Enforcing zeroizing.-The control member 40 may be arranged to be rocked beyond the printing position to the position shown in Fig. 3, in which a lug 74 of the member 40 has engaged a pin 73 in a wheel 72 and rocked the latter. The wheel 72 is part of the zeroizing mechanism described in Specification 814,171 which is actuated by a hand lever 75 and is associated with a full stroke mechanism 72, 77. The rocking of the wheel 72 causes a bail carrying a stud 70 to be rocked in known manner counter-clockwise to the position shown in Fig. 3 in which the stud 70 blocks the return movement of a plate 71 secured to the member 40. Thus, before the latter can be restored, the zeroizing mechanism must be fully operated by the lever 75. In the normal position, Fig. 2, the plate 71 on the member 40 blocks operation of the zeroizing mechanism, thus ensuring that the total is printed prior to zeroization. Counter.-A sealed counter (not shown) may be actuated by the control member 40 or the zeroizing lever 75.
