Title: Improvements in or relating to safety devices for pedal controlled machines
IPC: F16P3/00
Filed: 1946-04-01
Abstract: 610,226. Gearing for stopping and starting machinery. AULD, BRYDEN, & PENDER, Ltd., STARR, E. A. E., and OXENHAM, J. A. April 1, 1946, No. 10098. [Class 80 (iv)] A safety device for a pedal-controlled machine comprises a spring-pressed heel bar 2 carrying a detent 3 normally lying under the foot pedal 1 to prevent actuation until the bar 2 is pressed backwards by the heel of the operator to free the pedal. In a construction in which the pedal 1 is depressed to engage a clutch, the bar 2 carries an extension 6 axially slidable in a fixed casing 7 and held by a spring 9 therein, and is supported at each end on rollers 5 which run on an extension of the machine frame. In a modification, where the pedal is depressed to disengage the clutch, the detent may overlie the pedal in the disengaged position. Alternatively, the heel bar itself may be adapted to overlie or underlie the pedal and may be carried on hinged links and biassed into the locking position by counterweights or a tension spring.

Title: Holder device for a vibrator
Inventor: OHSHIMA YOSHIMUNE
IPC: H03H9/05
Filed: 1972-03-03
Abstract: 1383394 Piezoelectric flexural resonators MEIDENSHA KK 3 March 1972 [13 March 1971] 10117/72 Heading H1E The electrodes and leads of a piezoelectric flexural resonator (quartz or ceramic) are arranged so that like potentials are applied at opposed points on the electrodes. The invention is applied to two known types of flexural resonator, that shown in Fig. 3 using lengthwidth extensional modes and that shown in Fig. 4 using so-called X-Y modes and having electrodes on four longitudinal faces. Both types are characterized by divided electrodes on opposite major faces and by the attachment of pairs of cantilever supporting members 6a, 6c and 6b, 6d at nodal points of the fundamental half-wave vibration mode. The configuration of the electrodes is apparent from the figures and it can be seen that if the support members are used as supply leads with opposite members connected to the same pole of the exciting source, the correct field conditions for flexure occur, e.g. electrodes 2 and 3, Fig. 3, are respectively opposed in potential to electrodes 4 and 5. Since there is no potential difference between opposed support members, each pair may be replaced by a single member extending through the piezoelectric element 1, as shown. The holes in the crystal plates may be enlarged towards their outer ends.

Title: Improvements in or relating to television systems
IPC: H04N7/06
Filed: 1940-06-10
Abstract: 543,185. Television. SCOPHONY, Ltd., and OKOLICSANYI, F. June 10, 1940, No. 10125. [Class 40 (iii)] ] A television transmission system involving no scanning comprises s means for chopping the light in vertical strips each at a distinctive frequency, photo - sensitive means in horizontal lines, and means for transmitting the output of these photo - sensitive means. Each line of the photosensitive means is connected through a condenser or a transformer 15,. Fig. 3, to a modulator - oscillator valve 16. The outputs of the several valves 16 are connected through tuned acceptor circuits 17 to a common buffer amplifier 18 in turn connected to a power amplifier and carrier oscillator circuit 19, 20 feeding an aerial 21. Alternatively, the output of the acceptor circuits 17 is transmitted by a wire link. The photo-sensitive means may be selenium cells formed by coating a steel plate 5, Fig. 1, with a layer of selenium covered by a transparent layer of gold, and then incising fine cuts in the layers to divide them into separate horizontal strips. Such cells are connected to their valves by transformers. Alternatively, the horizontal photo-sensitive strips may be long photo-cells of the vacuum or gas-filled electron discharge type, and these are connected to their respective valves by condensers. The light choppers may be vibrating reeds but are preferably shutters comprising a number of vertical columns 4, Fig. 1, covering the picture area in front of the bank of photo-sensitive devices 5 in a camera 1 provided with an objective 2. Each column 4 comprises, as shown in section in Fig. 4 and in perspective in Fig. 5, a vertical rod 27 rotating eccentrically about vertical spindles 28 in the hollow space of a casing 25, 26 with windows 29, the rotation of the rod causing a sinusoidal variation of the amount of light passing through the windows as described in Specification 543,802. Each rod 27 is rotated by a separate shaft driven through worm gear 7, 8, the several worm wheels 8 being of different diameters arranged on an oblique shaft 9, Fig. 2, driven by a motor 10 through worm gear 11, 12. This gives a different frequency of light modulation to each shutter column. The several columns are set at different phases so that their light maxima do not occur simultaneously. The wall 26 of the column may be set more to the right in Fig. 4 to allow a certain amount of light to pass through at minimum modulation. The rods 27 may be attached to the spindles 28 by blocks 30, Fig. 5, fitted with lead weights 31 to balance the eccentric rods. Astigmatic lenses may be used in the objective 2 of the camera, Fig. 1, if it is desired to reduce the horizontal or vertical dimension of the image. The receiver may be similar to that described in Specification 472,009.

Title: Packing articles of manufacture
IPC: B65D85/68
Filed: 1974-03-08
Abstract: 1469451 Packaging articles with relatively movable internal and external components PHILIPS ELECTRONIC & ASSOCIATED INDUSTRIES Ltd 8 March 1974 10592/74 Heading B8C An article comprising relatively movable internal and external components is packed for transport by securing the internal component against the external component using threaded rods which pass through openings in the external component. One end of each rod is received in a screw-threaded hole in the internal component and the other end of each rod carries a nut which bears against a rigid support member located against the outer surface of the external component. The outer ends of the rods carrying the nuts, are treated with an adhesive to secure the nut to the rod to form a bolt. When unpacking is desired a spanner is applied to the nuts to unscrew the bolts, this in turn releasing the inner component. As an alternative to adhesive a locking nut may be used. With such an arrangement, loosening of the internal component is effected entirely from outside the outer component. Also the use of internal packing elements which might inadvertently be left in the outer component is avoided. Washing machines, turntables and spin driers may be so packaged. In the preferred embodiment (see Fig. 3), a washing machine has a cabinet 3 through holes in the rear of which threaded bolts 8 pass, the ends of the bolts being received by an inner component. The holes are provided with self-sealing bushes (4) and in use rear support members 5, 6 and 7 are located over the protruding ends of the bolts, adhesive and washers 10 applied, and nuts 11 screwed on to draw the inner component into tight engagement with the cabinet. Release of the inner component is effected merely by unscrewing the nuts. The side of the cabinet has an access opening (15) through which the front end of the internal component may be secured using bolts 16 and 17, braces 13 and 14, and fillers 18. A machine thus packed may be placed upon a base, its edges protected by buffers 24, its sides protected by pads 27, its top protected by buffer 28, and the whole assembly is strapped to secure the parts and placed in a container. A pair of the buffers 24 are recessed at 25 to receive the panel 26 which closes the side access opening of the cabinet.
