Abstract: 1,146,893. Edge-trimming strip material. FRIEDRICH KOCKS. 7 April, 1966 [12 April, 1965], No. 15673/66. Heading B3L. A device for trimming the edge of continuously fed strip metal comprises a pivotally mounted plate member 1 over which the strip passes and upon which are mounted two adjustably fixed guide rollers 3, 15 arranged to contact one edge of the strip, a rotary disc-like trimming tool 7, between the fixed rollers 3, 15 and two spring-loaded guide rollers 16, 17 arranged to press against the other edge of the strip to urge the strip against the tool 7 and fixed rollers 3, 15. The tool 7 is mounted with its axis of rotation offset from the plane of the strip so as to be rotated by advance of the strip; the axis of rotation may be inclined to the edge of the strip at other than a right angle in order to chamfer the edge. A similar device of the other hand may follow to trim the other edge (Fig. 3, not shown) and a further device having a tool located between spring loaded rollers at fixed spacing from fixed guide rollers may be used finally to bring the strip to uniform width. In a modification of the device (Fig. 4, not shown) in which both edges of the strip are trimmed simultaneously a second cutter is mounted with and between a pair of guide rolls on a spring-loaded plate on the pivoted plate member. In a second modification (Fig. 5, not shown) two fixed cutters provide for the trimming of both edges simultaneously while also bringing the strip to a uniform width. In a further modification (Fig. 6, not shown) two leading spring loaded guide rollers are geared to move equally and oppositely of the strip to ensure that equal cuts are taken on both edges by a pair of fixed cutters mounted on the pivoted plate.

Abstract: 380,473. Television receivers. MULLER, C., 86, Soorstrasse, Charlottenburg, Berlin.. June 4, 1931, No. 16401. [Class 40 (iii).] In apparatus for radiation control, or for measuring &c., utilizing the alteration of form of a reflecting membrane surface, a membrane of metal or other sheet material is used which is stretched within its rigidly held margin by additional stretching means so as to have a surface which is completely plane or has a determined curvature. The thickness of the membrane is preferably less than .001 mm. In the simple form shown in Fig. 1 a metal skin m which is .00015 mm. thick in the centre and has a thickened rim r rests on a ring s. The weight of the thickened rim stretches the part within the ring s to produce a perfectly plane surface. A number of coaxial supporting rings may be used instead of the single one shown. Fig. 5 shows how a curved reflecting surface may be produced. The marginal tensioning of the skin m is controlled by screws b, c and the central portion is controlled by magnetic, electrostatic &c. forces applied by means of an adjustablymounted body M. The space between the reflector m and body M may comprise a gaseous or liquid cushion. Fig. 11 shows one manner of producing the desired configuration of the reflecting membrane electrostatically. The membrane m is supported on the ring s between two electrodes d, d<1> which are connected to opposite terminals of a source of potential, the membrane itself being connected to an intermediate point. By suitable disposition of one or more electrodes, any desired configuration of the reflecting surface can be obtained. The reflecting membrane produced as above described may be used in light control device employed in the telegraphic transmission of pictures for the conversion of electrical and magnetic impulses into light variations.
