Filed: 1956-04-04
Abstract: 801,469. Telephone transmission systems. ANGOT, A., DAGUET, J., and MARCOU, P. April 4, 1956 [April 8, 1955], No. 10274/56. Drawings to Specification. Class 40 (4). To improve intelligibility in a telephony system, pseudo stereophonic sound is produced in a telephone handset by causing a phase delay of e.g. one-third of a millisecond between the two headphones. Three arrangements are described : (i) a delay line is placed in the lead to one phone, and an impedance in the lead to the other phone to balance the sound level. This improves intelligibility in the presence of surrounding noise, Fig. 1 (not shown); (ii) the radio-telephony receiver gives two demodulated outputs corresponding to the two received sidebands, which each contain the same useful signal but different noise signals-one output is delayed, Fig. 2 (not shown); (iii) the output from the transmitter microphone is split, and one channel is delayed. These two microphone signals may be used (a) to modulate a single transmitter with two sidebands which are separated at the receiver, or (b) to modulate two different transmitters. Specification 399,554, [Class 40 (4)], is referred to.

Abstract: 577,521. Wheel tyres. HENLEY'S TYRE & RUBBER CO., Ltd., and WOODS, E. C. May 31, 1944, No. 10470. [Class 144 (ii)] Tyre treads.-The circumferential rib formation of a tyre tread is divided by transverse slits 11 into alternately oppositely-facing wedgeshaped blocks which are adapted to contact under load, the arrangement being such that on a dry surface the operative blocks are pressed into frictional contact (Fig. 4), and on a wet surface adjacent blocks slide laterally in opposite directions to produce a more effective non-slip tread (Fig. 5). In the construction shown, the tread comprises four such divided ribs 7, 8, 9. 10 spaced from intermediate continuous ribs 5, 6 which act as stops to limit the lateral displacement of the blocks, as shown in Fig. 5. Means may be provided to influence the lateral displacement of the blocks in the desired directions. For example, the bottoms of the ribspacing grooves 14 may be formed with raised portions 15 adjacent the shorter sides of the blocks ; or, the side walls of the grooves may be formed with protections adapted to abut the shorter sides of the blocks. The oblique arrangement of the slits tends to minimize the impact. noise of the tyre; and this effect may be augmented by varying the angles of successive slits so as to break the regular interval between impacts of successive blocks. The invention may be applied to tread ribs of zig-zag or sinuous form.

Filed: 1946-04-05
Abstract: 610,436. Cutting-out presses. STANDARD ENVELOPE MANUFACTURING CO. April 5, 1946, No. 10547. Convention date, April 28, 1945. [Class 31(i)] A machine for punching or cutting-out window apertures in a pack of envelope blanks, or for similar purposes, is constructed with means for successively feeding a pack of blanks from a stack 44, Fig. 2, to an anvil 28 fitted with adjustable registering posts 141, Fig. 3, for engaging notches in the blanks, and apertures 155 are simultaneously formed in the blanks by means of a punch 27 which is reciprocated in known manner from a shaft driven by a motor 30, and is fitted with a stripper 32 for detaching the finished blanks which are fed by conveyers and deposited upon a delivery table 198. The drive of the punch is controlled by a. one-revolution clutch. The feed table 43 is carried by chains 46 which are moved intermittently along guide posts inclined at an angle of 45 degrees by adjustable pawl-and-ratchet mechanism operated from a cam on a shaft 51 driven from a motor 55 by belt gearing. Posts 42, Fig. 3, engage notches in the blanks as they ascend, and a limit switch stops the stack feed when it reaches a given height. A pack of blanks is detached from the stack and fed to the anvil so as to overlie a supporting strip 137 which is fed across the anvil for a small amount at each operation of the punch. The feeding means for the pack comprises a pair of holding devices 97 which normally press on the top of the stack but are raised therefrom when a separating finger 102 is lowered below the top of the stack to such a distance that when it is moved towards the stack to a position as indicated in Fig. 2, a number of blanks are raised partially from the stack and the raised blanks are then engaged by grippers 122, carried by reciprocating racks 72 guided by fixed guides 70, 71, and connected by a bar 73 on which the grippers 122 and a bar 118 with which they coact are mounted. The pack is finally registered on the anvil 28 by means of pushers on diagonal members 153, Fig. 3, which are reciprocated by racks engaging a wide pinion 143 which is oscillated from the cam shaft 51 by means of a camoperated reciprocating rack. The receding of the punch 27 is followed by the raising of the punched blanks into the grip of conveyer bands 186, 188 by the combined action of a rod 158 and a roller 156 mounted in a bracket with an inclined surface 157, both members being raised by cams on shaft 51, and at the same time the waste cuttings are caused to be detached and slide off the anvil 28 by the action of a rapidly reciprocating rod 166 which acts upon strip 137. The conveyer belts 186, 188, deliver the pack to conveyer belts 190, 191, and a reciprocating pusher 220 finally advances the pack against registering posts arranged at the top of guide bars 195, 196 which form guides for a delivery table 198 which is carried by chains and is lowered by cam-operated ratchet mechanism.
