Title: Beam deflecting method and device for use in image reproduction
Inventor: MAEDA KIYOSHI
IPC: H04N1/113
Filed: 1984-11-30
Abstract: A beam deflecting method and device for image recording apparatus are described. The device comprises one or more light sources (5) providing respective light beams (R,S,G). The light beams (R,S,G) are deflected by respective reflection mirrors (6', 6'', 6'') onto an oscillating mirror (16) so as to be incident at one point on the oscillation axis thereof but at different angles thereto. The oscillation mirror (16) is oscillated to scan the light beams (R,S,G) via further optical means (12,13) across a photosensitive substrate (18), an original image (2') and a scanning position determining grating (14). The use of a common point on the axis allows the oscillating mirror to be small and of low inertia. <IMAGE>

Title: Electrically assisted cycle
Inventor: BAKER ALAN
IPC: B62M13/00
Filed: 1985-01-28
Abstract: An electrically assisted pedal cycle is provided having a drive unit 10 pivotally mounted to a frame 16 adjacent a wheel 24, the unit comprising a drive motor 20 and, operatively connected thereto a wheel engaging drive roller, 22 the centre of gravity of the unit being arranged in relation to the pivot 12 such that the drive unit 10 hangs clear of the cycle wheel 24 when not under drive conditions.

Title: Accessory for latch type door locks
Inventor: MCGOWAN RICHARD KEITH
IPC: E05B15/08
Filed: 1987-01-27
Abstract: The accessory for latch type door locks has a main body 'a' and contained within an inner body 'b' which may be rotated manually with integral lever 'c'. The assembly is mounted over the lock housing cylinder end, with center lines of lock barrel and rotating inner body co-incident. Conical form 'd' leads into slot 'e' easing location of key. For engagement/ disengagement of deadlock (eg 1 or 2 full turns of key) lever C is spun around with finger, carrying key, when position is reached when more pressure must be applied to withdraw spring loaded bolt of lock- more leverage is available using lever 'c'. Where a handle must be normally simultaneously operated, lever c may be pulled slightly outwards upon reaching 'open' position of lock, locking inner body rotationally at that point and holding key. Thus, same hand may now operate handle. Release of lever C is made by pushing lever back towards body. <IMAGE>
