Title: Movement of Electroerosion Electrode
IPC: B23H9/14
Filed: 1980-07-19
Abstract: Drilling small holes, in superalloys in particular, by using conventional cutting drills, results in drill breakage and burr generation. Electro erosion eliminates those problems but numbers of holes have to be drilled simultaneously to make the process economical. The invention provides a head (10) which holds a number of radially aligned and radially movable electrodes 14 and a workpiece 22 at its centre. A sleeve 26 surrounds the outer ends of the electrode (14) and has an inner, frusto conical surface (28) which engages them. Vertical reciprocation of the sleeve (26) pushes the electrodes inwards and allows them to be urged outwards by springs (16) to enable the appropriate relative motion between electrodes (14) and workpiece (22). Alternatively a row of electrodes is engaged by a plane surface, formed on a vertically reciprocable member which is inclined to the direction of movement of the electrodes. <IMAGE>

Title: Paper feed and image transfer for electrostatographic copiers and duplicators
IPC: G03G15/00
Filed: 1980-08-04
Abstract: In apparatus for electrostatographic reproduction of an original document having an electrostatographic recording member supported on a rotatable drum or belt 20, a developing station, a copy sheet supply station 11 and a transfer unit at which developed toner images are transferred by an applied electric field from the recording member to a copy sheet 75, the transfer unit is arranged to operate in timed relationship to the operation of the copy sheet supply station and rotation of the drum or belt so that the leading edge 90 of each copy sheet 75 passes through the transfer zone before the electric field is applied. The copy sheets therefore separate or strip cleanly from the drum or belt. The trippable transfer roller 80 may be replaced by a non-trippable 30 bias roller or a corona charge which is selectively energized at the appropriate time in the sheet feeding cycle. <IMAGE>

Title: Press tool machine
IPC: B21D41/00
Filed: 1980-11-29
Abstract: A press tool machine particularly for flaring end portions of metal tubes comprises a frame (6), a pressing assembly (14) adapted to carry a pressing tool (48) mounted on the frame, gripper support devices (36, 38) mounted on the frame, and gripper members (32) carried by the gripper support devices.

Title: An air drying arrangement
Inventor: REPPICH ANDREAS
IPC: B60T17/00
Filed: 1982-07-09
Abstract: An air drying arrangement for pneumatic systems, particularly compressed-air brake systems of motor vehicles, has two treatment chambers (31, 32) which contain drying medium. Inducted air is passed through the two treatment chambers alternatively to a service line of the pneumatic system for the delivery of dried air thereto and a portion of the dried air is diverted alternatively through the two treatment chambers for the purpose of regenerating the drying medium.   In order to achieve a compact type of construction which requires only a small amount of installation space and in order to simplify maintainance and replacement, the two treatment chambers (31, 32) are disposed in a single container (1), and only a single cartridge (4) is used. The container (1) and the cartridge (4) are longitudinally divided into two parts by a multi-part partition (16, 30). <IMAGE>

Title: Programmed electronic keycorder unit
Inventor: BERNSTEIN MARVIN
IPC: G06K19/073
Filed: 1982-10-05
Abstract: A miniaturized card unit, resembling a standard credit card, incorporates solid state counter, which may be incremented or decremented in accordance with a direction control signal. Control signals transfer the count stored in the card unit to a display for visually displaying the decimal count stored in the card. A logical circuit monitors selected segments of the display to enable operation of the device controlled by the card reader unit so long as a card is inserted and the card inserted contains a non-zero count. Signals representative of the device usage are applied to the card unit counter for decrementing the count. A new count is introduced into the card unit by insertion into a card programmer unit having settable thumbwheel switches for setting a down counter. The presence of a card unit and the closure of a program switch causes simultaneous incrementing of the card unit counter and decrementing of the card program counter.
