Title: Alarm clock having a programmed electrically operated audible alarm device
IPC: G04C21/36
Filed: 1973-10-01
Abstract: 1413213 Alarm clocks LOUIS SCHWAB SA I Oct 1973 [2 Oct 1972] 45718/73 Heading G3T [Also in Division H1] In an alarm clock having an electric alarm e.g. a bell 26, a wheel 1 is loosely mounted on minute wheel arbor 2 and is displaced axially when a lug 8 on hour wheel 6 enters an aperture 9 in alarm wheel 7 so that Breguet gears 4, 5 engage and the arbor 2 then drives the wheel 1 and thus a toothed sector member 11 carrying a contact member 12 which bridges fixed contact studs 15a-c to energize the bell. As shown the contact member 12 carries two brushes 13, 14 and gives a short ring after an initial delay, two minutes silence, and then a final, longer ring. A lever 17 pivoted at 18 is coupled to the sector 11 by a pin and slot 22, 23. Depression of a push-button (not shown) moves the lever in the direction of arrow B and advances the sector 11 in direction D, with slipping of the Breguet gears, to terminate the alarm. As the lug 8 rides up out of the aperture 9, the wheels 1 and 6 are returned axially against the pressure of a resilient fork 10 and a spring 19 returns the lever 17 and sector 11 to the initial position shown in Fig.2. The fixed contacts form part of a conductor 15 printed on substrate 15d and the moving contacts are protected by a plastics part 12a.

Title: Improvements in apparatus for forming glassware
IPC: C03B9/193
Filed: 1965-11-03
Abstract: A glassware forming apparatus includes a pair of interchangeable substantially planar base-plates 28 (281), a pair of cylindrical casings 12, 14 supported on the upper surface of either base-plate with the longitudinal axes of the casings substantially perpendicular to the plane of the base-plates, piston means 64, 641 reciprocably disposed within each casing, means 84, 841 connected to each casing for introducing fluid to a separate one of said piston means, and means 30, 32, 301, 321 for mounting the casings on each of the base-plates with their longitudinal axes spaced at a different distance from each other when mounted on one of the base-plates than when mounted on the other base-plate. The base-plates 28 (281) have a pair of recesses 46, 48 in their upper surfaces into which fit bosses on the casings 14, 12, the depth and the diameter of the bosses 52, 50 being greater than and less than those of the recesses.  This allows the casings to be self-adjusting with respect to each other when co-operating with moulds (e.g. blank moulds).  Each casing contains <PICT:1072179/C1/1> <PICT:1072179/C1/2> a piston 64, 641 the bases of which have grooves 80 mating with corresponding grooves 80 in the upper surfaces of bosses 52, 50 each connected with a separate source of fluid under pressure. A hollow tube 74, 741 passes upwardly through the centre of each piston and each casing to the upper end of which is affixed a plunger, the other end of the tubes being connected to a source of cooling water.  The casings 14, 12 are held on to the base-plates by flanged brackets 30, 301.  The base-plates have a depending centrally fixed threaded rod 36 which co-operates with means enabling it to be raised and lowered.  A further stabling device may include an upper arm 90 having holes 92, 94 therein corresponding to the recesses 46, 48. The apparatus may be used in parison forming in a press and blow apparatus.

Title: Containers for vacuum packing
IPC: B65D51/16
Filed: 1972-10-10
Abstract: 1369130 Container closures; lever lids CONTINENTAL CAN CO Inc 10 Oct 1972 [18 Oct 1971] 46682/72 Headings B8T and B8D A container for vacuum packing has a body 11  with an open end bounded by a part 16 which extends outwardly and is downturned from the open end of the body. A rim 18 terminates in a curl 19. A lid has a downturned peripheral flange 21 and a gasket 22 to provide a seal. Adhered to the upper surface of the lid 13 is a pull tab 14, e.g. a pressure-sensitive tape, which overlies an opening 24. By pulling the end portion 23 of the pull tab 14 the opening 24 is uncovered. The pull tab is then used to remove the lid. In another embodiment, Fig. 5 (not shown), the pull tab is formed from an extension of the lid flange which is doubled back and used as a lever for breaking the seal. In a further modification, Fig. 7 (not shown), the pull tab breaks a score line in the lid for venting the container. Again, Figs. 3 and 10 (not shown), a lever is inserted between the curl 19 and lid flange 21 to break the seal. A separate plastics pull tab may be used together with a plastisol sealing gasket, Fig. 9 (not shown).

Title: Traffic actuated control system
IPC: G08G1/08
Filed: 1966-10-19
Abstract: 1,129,498. Road traffic signals. LABORATORY FOR ELECTRONICS Inc. 19 Oct., 1966 [1 Nov., 1965], No. 46763/66. Heading G4Q. A road traffic signal controller of the type described in Specification 1,063,048 is provided with a timing circuit 55, Fig. 1, adapted to be started when a vehicle is detected on the route not having right-of-way, and a second timing circuit 24 which is reset each time a vehicle is detected on the route having right-of-way, the combined outputs of the two timers being fed to a trigger circuit 50 adapted to initiate a change of phase. The timing circuit 55 comprises a capacitor (170, Fig. 2, not shown) shunted by a transistor (120); when the transistor is cut off in response to a vehicle demand supplied at input terminal 20 or 23, the capacitor charges and the potential across it is fed through an impedance converter 44 to resistance 42. The timing circuit 24 is similar and is re-set each time a vehicle is detected on the route having right-ofway, either gate 31 or gate 32 being open due to a signal AV or BV derived from an electronic counter (not shown) controlling the cycle. The potential at the output of the timer 24 is therefore proportional to the gap between vehicles and is fed to resistance 40. The potential at point 46 is the average of the outputs of the two timing circuits, so that the longer the waiting time the shorter is the gap between vehicles allowable before the trigger 50 fires. When this happens a bi-stable 35 is set and blocks gate 30; this prevents a third timing circuit (AT, Fig. 3, not shown) from being re-set by an output at terminal 262, and this timer accordingly times out and then switches the electronic counter to its next stage, thereby changing the phase. A maximum timer circuit (BT, Fig. 3, not shown) is started at the beginning of each right-of-way interval and limits the total right-of-way period; vehicle calls which are too late to prolong rightof-way are stored as a demand for change of right-of-way. The timer 24 uses a single charging resistance (144, 145, Fig. 2, not shown) which is adjustable but times in the same way for both routes; the timer 55 has different adjustable timing resistances for the two routes (Fig. 4, not shown) and its output is never sufficient to fire the trigger 50 in the absence of an output from timer 24.

Abstract: 1361237 Voltage measuring ROSEMOUNT ENG CO Ltd 16 Oct 1972 [15 Oct 1971] 48069/71 Heading G1U In an arrangement for sequentially sensing the voltages occurring on a set of point 100, Fig. 9, for example points of a printed circuit board, and effectively comparing them with a corresponding set of ranges set by upper and lower target potentials, each sensed voltage is passed via a switch 106, an over-voltage protection circuit 107, and a buffer amplifier 108 to a potential divider 109 which is set firstly so that if the lower target voltage were applied to it, it would produce a standard voltage Vs, and secondly so that if the upper target voltage were applied to it, it would also produce the standard voltage Vs, and the voltages that actually occur with these two settings of the potential divider are amplified 111 and compared 112 with a reference voltage V R , which should be respectively exceeded and fallen short of, so that a logic unit 113 can actuate an alarm indicator 114 when a sensed voltage does fall outside its corresponding range. The potential divider 109 is constituted by a three-decade binary-coded-decimal arrangement of series connected resistors Fig. 1 which are selectively shunted by read contacts A, B, ..., M, so that the application of the target voltage at Vin produces the standard voltage Vs across a precision resistor PR. Two sets of threedecade stores 120, Fig. 9, to store the appropriate settings of the potential divider 109 corresponding to each pair of upper and lower target voltages are provided, and as each point 100 is sensed first the lower target voltage store is rendered operative, under the control of a master clock 115 and sequencing devices 104, 103, 116, 117, 118, and then the upper target voltage store is rendered operative. The stores take the form of plug boards PB, Fig. 7, having three groups of ten vertical conductors 72, which are selectively connected by diodes 75 to common terminals T1, T2, ..., Tn, which are sequentially energized, during a testing segmence, to read the numbers stored, by the selective diode connections, to decimal-to-binary converters 71, 73, which, at the appropriate times, control the potential divider read contacts. Comparison of the voltage produced by the potential divider 109, Fig. 9, with the reference voltage V R , is effected by a conventional differential amplifier 112, its output being strobed at the appropriate times and examined for polarity. The test cycle could be halted when a faulty point is indentified.
