Title: Printing presses
IPC: B41F21/05
Filed: 1965-12-13
Abstract: 1,090,097. Printing apparatus. ROLAND OFFSETMASCHINENFABRIK FABER & SCHLEICHER A.G. Dec. 13, 1965 [Dec. 17, 1964], No. 52924/65. Heading B6C. In order to prevent the differences in register which sometimes occur in an offset sheet-fed rotary press at the end of a sheet being fed between the blanket and impression cylinders, the grippers on the impression cylinder are so constructed that the front edge of the sheet held by the grippers is deformed in selected zones in a direction radial of the cylinder. Each set of grippers and gripper pads are housed in a longitudinal gap in the surface of the cylinder, the pads being fixed thereto such that they may be moved by varying amounts in a direction at right-angles to the sheet fed to the cylinder. In the embodiment of Fig. 3 the pads 14 are mounted on a resilient rail 15 clamped by bolts 16 to the side wall of the cylinder gap. Screw devices 17, 18 at each end may be manipulated to bend the rail about its centre and thus cause the pads other than the centre one, to be moved radially of the cylinder by varying amounts. The tapering of the rail towards its ends and the provision of notches 19, 20 aid in the bending of the rail. In a second embodiment the set of grippers and pads are split into three groups, each outer group being mounted on a rail pivoted at its inner end to the side wall of the gap and having a screw device such as 17, 18 at its outer end. In a third embodiment, each pad of each of the end groups of the second embodiment are slidably mounted in the rail and are spring-biased towards the axis of the cylinder.

A method of joining electrical cables comprises the steps of: (a) positioning an assembled unit comprising a bridging sleeve and terminal sleeves, of which at least portions are heatshrinkable, on one of the cables; (b) making a  joint between the conductors; (c) moving the assembled unit so that the bridging sleeve is positioned over the joint and so that each cable is surrounded by one of the terminal sleeves; and (d) heating the terminal sleeves to shrink them on to the individual cables. As shown; the bridging sleeve 9 is screwed on to a non-shrinkable portion 8 of each terminal sleeve 5, 5 which also comprises an optionally heat-shrinkable frusto-conical portion 7 and a heat-shrinkable end portion 6. The bridging sleeve can be screwed off (Fig. 4) for inspection and maintenance. The screw-threads may be sealed with a heat-sensitive tape or film of sealant, or the sleeves may have matching sealing faces or be designed to accommodate "O" rings. In another embodiment (Fig. 5, not shown), the bridging sleeve (20) abuts against a shoulder (21) on one (19<SP>1</SP>) of the terminal sleeves, and fits over the other terminal sleeve (19) so that it may be removed by sliding it over the sleeve (19). This non-threaded sleeve may be secured by adhesive tape or small heat-shrinkable sleeves or a sealant-coated split sleeve. The terminal sleeves may be made of cross-linked polyethylene with suitable additives; and the bridging sleeve may be made of metal or hard rubber, or high density polyethylene with the usual additives. It is stated that the bridging sleeve may be in more than one part, and that more than two cables may be joined by this method, using branched sleeves.

Abstract: 1410376 Fluidic elements INSTITUT PROBLEM UPRAVLENIA (AVTOMATIKI I TELEMEKHANIKI) and ZAVOD " TIZPRIBOR " 29 Nov 1972 55022/72 Heading G4P [Also in Division F1] A fluid logic device comprises a single plate, or a stack of plates, each plate having two fluid logic units formed in one face. The other face is formed with all the passages which are necessary to permit interconnection of the units to cause the device to perform a required one of a number of possible logic functions, according to which of the passages and units are connected by forming openings through the plate. The device includes a two-stage diaphragm amplifier. The plates which form the logic circuit are of three types (Figs. 4-6, not shown). Each plate carries two pure fluid logic units formed in one face and interconnected by channels formed in the other face via ducts passing through the plate. Some of the ducts may be sealed by webs which can be broken away according to the circuit to be set up. Each logic unit is of one of two types, one type performing the function (A + B).(C + D) and the other (A + B).(C + D). Adjacent plates are separated by gaskets. Fig. 9 shows a bi-stable circuit formed by a device comprising a plate carrying logic units of both types coupled to an amplifier of which the first stage is an inverter and the second stage is non-inverting. When fluid pressure is present at both inputs 29, 30 of one unit, or at input 23 of the other unit, pressure is applied to input 53 of the amplifier, causing a fluid output at 59 which is fed back via OR input 26 of the second logic unit, so that the amplifier is held in this stage when any or all of the inputs 23, 29, 30 cease. The amplifier is reset by application of pressure to either of the inhibiting OR inputs 22, 25.

A crop conditioner has a mower 6<SP>1</SP>, crushing rollers 5, 6 and a reel 20 such that during operation, the reel can be selectively driven or not driven. The reelspindle 31 is mounted on arms 33 which at their upper ends are interposed between a pair of arms 34, 35, the rear ends of which arms 34, 35 are pivotally mounted on a tube 38 co-axial with the input shaft 40 for driving the reel through a drive consisting of belts 46, 50 and pulleys 45<SP>1</SP>, 55, 47, 49, 52 and 51. The pulley 55 is mounted on a spring-loaded lever 56 pivotal at 57 to the arms 34, 35 and at 59 to an upstanding element 61 having a slot 60. The shoe 77 of a brake 75 can press against the pulley 47 to stop it when the belt 46 is loose and a roller 80 on the brake is not pressing against its underside 84. A cam 105 and a ratchet wheel 117 embraced by legs 97, 98, are mounted by a shaft 101 to the arms 34, 35, and a rope secured at 99 on the legs extends forwardly towards the operators station. The cam 105 has a number of lobes 106 to 109 and a number of pockets 110 between them to receive a roller 112.

An electronic timepiece comprises a transistor drive circuit 107 suitable to be fed by a battery 108, a 'W'-shaped vibrator 84 electromagnetically driven by the circuit and a magnetic wheel 32 magnetically coupled with magnets 119, 120 attached to the U-shaped arms 84d, 84e of the vibrator. The base 84a of the vibrator is spot welded to a mounting piece 174 and secured to a plate 30 of the timepiece by screws 75, 76. The arms of the vibrator are bent along lines b-b<SP>1</SP>, d-d<SP>1</SP> to lie in planes at right angles to the plane of the base 84a and each magnet 119, 120 comprises four limbs in the shape of a rectangle. Each magnet has a gap in one of its shorter limbs for co-operation with the wheel 32. Magnetic yokes 106, 106a and counter weights 141, 141a are supported at opposite ends of each magnet, the yokes co-operating with search and drive coil assemblies 55, 73. Fine adjustment of the position of the vibrator assembly with respect to the wheel 32 is effected by rotating an eccentric cam 49. Adjustment of the axial position of the wheel 32 with respect to the gap in the magnets is effected by changing the thickness of shims 26-28 which alter the height of the mount 29 for the wheel 32. The frequencies of the vibrating arms may be equalised by adjusting magnetic screws such as 56 of the coil assemblies 55, 73. A flywheel 39 is freely rotatable on the shaft 40 of the magnetic wheel 32, the motion of which is transmitted through a gear train to drive seconds, minutes and hours hands. The timepiece is started by pushing in a stem shaft 25 which closes a switch to connect the battery to the transistor circuit. Figs. 10-13 (not shown), illustrate modified forms of the vibrator whilst Figs. 14-18 (not shown) illustrate modified forms of the magnets 119, 120.
