Patent GB-131717-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in Machinery for Reeling Yarns or Threads or other analogous Materials.
Inventor: DICKIE PETER BONS
IPC: B65H63/08
Filed: 1918-08-24
Abstract: 131,717. Dickie, P. B. Aug. 24, 1918. Reeling-machines; stop-motions.-A reeling- machine for yarns, threads, and the like is provided with an adjustable graduated ratchet wheel, or a chain formed with ratchet teeth, or a chain operated by a ratchet or like wheel, which is moved intermittingly so as to release the stop rod of the machine after any predetermined length is wound, and serves to indicate what length of yarn the machine has been set to wind, and enables the length that has been and remains to be wound to be ascertained. An eccentric pin n, operated by worm gearing b, c, from the shaft of the swift engages teeth o on the bar p ordinarily employed for effecting the division of the hanks into leas. The bar actuates a pawl 2 and thus intermittingly rotates a ratchet wheel u until a stop 3 thereon engages and raises a rod 7 which releases the stop rod by means of an adjustable set-screw 10. Each tooth of the wheel u corresponds to a wound length of one lea, and, by setting the wheel with the number corresponding to the number of hanks, or hanks and leas to be wound opposite the pawl, the stop 3 releases the stop rod at the desired time. To facilitate adjustment when successive similar lengths are to be wound, a clip 17 is engaged with the notch next in front of that to be presented to the pawl 2. The clip also serves to indicate what length of yarn the machine is set to wind, and enables the length that has been, and remains to be wound, to be ascertained. The stop 3 may be adjustable in holes around the wheel, in which case it is set in the hole corresponding to the length to be wound, and the wheel adjusted so that the zero mark is opposite the pawl 2 when winding is commenced. A dished sheet-metal spring y prevents over-running of the wheel u. When it is desired to divide the hanks into leas, a pawl s is turned to engage a rack r on the bar p, so that steps q thereon determine the position of the guides in the ordinary manner; in this case the wheel u is idle, and an adjustable stop 15 releases the stop rod when the winding is completed. In the Provisional Specification it is stated that, in order to prevent overrunning of the ratchet wheel, a spring brake or a spring pressing against a fixed plate provided with a frictional surface engaging a similar surface on the wheel, or with teeth engaging teeth on the wheel, or with a detent device, may be used; it is further stated that the peg may be split and furnished with a ball-shaped part, or with a barrel or other spring to secure it in the ratchet wheel.

Abstract: 831,035. Camera with f-value and enlargement ratio scales. POWERS CHEMCO. Inc. April 30, 1958 [July 19, 1957], No. 13819/58. Class 98(1) A camera adapted to produce negatives of different sizes relative to the copy has an adjustable diaphragm aperture controlled by a rotatable ring, said ring being connected to a rotatable member which has associated with it (and with each other) two scales: a negative-to-copy-sizeratio scale, and an f-value scale, so that corresponding values on the two scales may be set or read against each other directly. As shown, ring 24, which controls the aperture, is connected by a driving belt 48 to a sheave 38 of a drum assembly 32, all these members being supported on a plate 14 bolted to the camera. Thus by turning the knurled knob 44 of the drum, the aperture is altered. A fixed scale 56, graduated to indicate the enlargement or reduction ratio, is secured to plate 14, and lies adjacent the surface of the drum. On the drum surface itself is a series of graduations corresponding to various f-values. When developed on a flat surface (Fig. 7, not shown) these graduations are a series of straight lines. When disposed round the drum periphery, they form helical lines, as shown. Thus as the aperture is varied by turning drum 32, corresponding values of enlargement ratios and f-stops can be read against each other directly.

Title: Touati r transmission of information
IPC: H04W88/18
Filed: 1973-03-23
Abstract: 1432661 Digital transmission; keyed A.C. calling L CARIEL M LEVY H AOUIZERATE and R TOUATI 23 March 1973 [30 March 1972 26 Jan 1973] 14123/73 Headings H4P and H4L The 0's and 1's of a binary address and a following binary message are transmitted as different length A.C. bursts to a receiver which is selected by the binary address. The different width pulses may be sent at different frequencies F1, F2, Fig. 1, or the same frequency (F, Fig. 6, not shown). The 0's and 1's of the address 9 and message 10 portions of the signal are ¢t and 1t long respectively; a start call signal 1,0 (F2, F1) precedes the address proper 9a, and a start message signal 0, 1 (F1, F2) precedes the message proper 10a; and both portions 9, 10 are concluded by a 1 (F2). A spacing signal 8c at frequency F1 lasts for 2t and a clear signal 8a, 8b at frequency F2 also lasts for 2t. At the receiver the frequencies F1, F2 are separated at 13a, 13b, Fig. 3, and fed to a circuit containing OR gates 15, 21 and AND gates 16, 17. A 0À75t period monostable 19 identifies 1's in the pulse train received, and these are passed to corresponding stages of a shift register 20 which first receives the address portion 9. A decoder 24 recognizes when its own address is received at 20c to 20f and operates an audible alarm 26, provided that an AND gate 23 senses 1's at the beginning and end of the address 9. The long (2t) spacing pulse 8c is detected by a 1À4t monostable 18 and AND gate 16, so as to reset the register at 22. The message is then fed in and decoded at 29 to operate a display 30 such as an alphanumeric device. The clear signal 8b is detected by monostable 18 and AND gate 17 to reset a bi-stable 27 and block at 28 any further output to the decoder 29. In modifications (Figs. 4, 5, not shown) different numbers of decoders and displays are operated from suitably modified shift registers. - An alternative receiver (Fig. 7, not shown) operates with the single frequency (F) transmission but operates generally similarly, and uses monostables and AND gates to separate the 1's and 0's. A schematic transmitter (Fig. 2, not shown) uses separate coding circuits (5, 6, 7) for the clear and space signals 8a, 8b, 8c, the address signals 9, and the message 10.

Title: Systems for automatically debiting accounts
IPC: G07D1/00
Filed: 1975-04-07
Abstract: 1505718 Dispensing cash &c. OMRON TATEISI ELECTRONICS CO 7 April 1975 [20 April 1974] 14176/75 Heading G4H One or more remote terminals CD in a cash dispensing or article vending system are connected to a central station CPU containing a memory 319 in which all the customers' accounts are stored, access to the system being by card 101 and the system being capable of operation in both on-line and off-line modes (CPU operative and inoperative, respectively). In the cash dispenser embodiment of Fig. 2, a customer's account number, off-line balance and secret number are read from his card and stored at 103-105, and his secret number is entered via a keyboard 107; successful comparison 106 of the secret numbers enables gate G1 to pass a signal from 107 representing the required amount to a register 109. The account number, off-line balance and amount are then transmitted via modems 111, 211 to CPU and stored (205, 204, 209). The account number is used to access memory 319, the on- and off-line balances being stored at 301. A circuit 218 then determines whether the required amount is payable and, if so, from which balance. For example, payment may be preferentially from the on-line balance if this is not less than the amount required; if the amount is greater than the on-line balance but less than the sum of the on- and off-line balances, then payment is from the on-line balance (rewritten as zero in 319), then from the off-line balance (rewritten as: off-line balance-[amount-on-line balance] in 319 and on the card). If the amount exceeds the sum, a payment rejection signal is produced. The payment mode and the new off-line balance (if any) are stored at 212, 213 then transmitted to a discriminator 114 which produces appropriate signals OK1, OK2 for dispensing the cash 115, issuing a receipt 116, and returning the card (updated if necessary). When CPU is inoperative (e.g. at night), the required amount is compared with the off-line balance recorded on the card, this balance being updated on the card and recorded on punched tape. At intervals the punched data is sent to CPU and used to update memory 319. The calculations and comparisons performed by circuit 218 may be performed in terminal CD, CPU being used only for storing data. The balances may be augmented by "loan" facilities. Cash may be payable manually at 115 rather than automatically.

Filed: 1919-06-05
Abstract: 150,799. Marks, E. C. R., (National Equipnient Co.). June 5, 1919. Coating confectioners' goods.-In a coating- machine the excess material, such as chocolate, is returned to the supply tank from which it was drawn, and means are provided, acting on the material in the tank, to free it from air bubbles before it is again used for coating. A preliminary bottom coating is given before the complete coating is applied. The pump drawing the material from the tank is reversible, so that, before the machine is stopped, the material in the conveying pipes may be returned to the tank. In the arrangement shown, chocolate in a jacketed tank 1 is forced by a pump P through jacketed pipes L to a pan 8, whence it passes through slots 9 to goods on the conveyer d provided with bottoming- rolls 60, excess falling into the tank. The preliminary bottom coating is given bv a roll 52 rotating in an adjustable trough 53 fed with chocolate by a pipe 55, the goods being fed by a conveyer b. Excess chocolate is returned to the tank 1 by a pump 50. The goods pass to the conveyer c arranged over a cooling-pan 6 before reaching the main coating-chamber. From the pipe L, branch pipes K lead chocolate to the sides of a. conveyer e, where operators with fingers or hand instruments intermittently dipped into the chocolate from the pipes K may cause decorative strings to fall on the goods. After the main coating, a blast of air from an adjustable spout S is directed on the goods. The chocolate in the tank is freed from air bubbles by a slowly rotating stirrer 100 having inclined blades 94, 95 which tend to retain returned chocolate at the top of the tank till it releases pocketed air and falls by gravity.

Abstract: 1,099,951. Door opening mechanism on a gun. BOFORS A.B. April 5, 1965 [April 8, 1964], No. 14375/65. Heading F3C. A door 10 pivoted at 9 closes a port 7 in the protective wall 6 of a gun 3 and is adapted to be opened on recoil of the barrel 2 so as to permit a cartridge case guided by guide 8 to be ejected. A spring inside casing 11 acts through members 14, 15, 18, 16, 19 and 17 to bias the door to closed position. When the barrel recoils a member 23 moves so as to engage behind a spring-loaded pawl 27 attached to the member 14. Forward movement of the barrel permits the member 23 under the action of spring 26 to move the member 14 so as to compress the spring inside casing 11 and at the same time open the door 10. The door is retained in open position by a pawl 32 engaging a pallet on the end of a lever 38. The pawl 27 is disengaged from the member 23 in its forward position (when the door is open) by engagement with the edge of aperture 28. A cartridge case ejected along the guide 8 moves the lever 38 downwardly to disengage the pawl 32 from the pallet. However the door does not close due to a pawl 33 engaging a second pallet on the end of lever 38, until the cartridge case has been ejected through port 7 and lever 38 moves upwardly under the action of a spring to disengage pawl 33 from the second pallet.
