Abstract: 736,746. Folding paper; feeding sheets. MASCHINENFABRIK WINKLER, FALLERT & CO. AKT.-GES. Aug. 27, 1953 [Sept. 29, 1952], No. 23674/53. Class 100 (1). A folding mechanism for the production of folds lying in a direction parallel to the running direction of the paper, and of the kind having a device by means of which the paper sheets to be folded are stopped in their original running direction and are further conveyed in another direction, is characterized by the provision of movable abutments mounted for rotation about a stationary axis and adapted to engage the front edge of the sheets to slow them down. The sheets to be folded are fed on conveyers 2 against rotary stops 3 which slow each sheet down until it abuts against front stops 10. The sheet is then folded by an oscillating blade 11 co-operating with rollers 12. In an alternative embodiment (Fig. 3) the rotary stops may be in the form of rotating cam discs, the sheet to be slowed down first engaging the disc at the point where its radius is greatest so that as the disc rotates the sheet is progressively slowed down. When cam discs are used the front stops 10 may be omitted.

Title: Optical peephole device
IPC: G02B25/04
Filed: 1979-02-15
Abstract: An optical peephole device is insertable in a thick wall of a chamber, such as a bank vault, making it possible for an observer to obtain a panoramic view of the interior thereof. The device comprises a first assembly (1) having wide angle characteristics to develop in front of this assembly a virtual image of the interior, a second assembly (3) having elongation nearly equal to the thickness of the wall, and having convergent characteristics to derive from the virtual image a final image which is formed adjacent the exit of this assembly, and a third assembly (6) having accommodation characteristics to permit an observer's eye located behind it to see the final image with an apparent diameter essentially equal to that at which the initial image can be seen at the entry of the second assembly. As a consequence, observation through the optical system is essentially equivalent in image quality to that obtainable had the observation of the initial image been made directly with the first and the third assemblies. <IMAGE>

Title: Skimming device
IPC: E02B15/04
Filed: 1979-09-20
Abstract: A skimmer for the removal of oil or other pollutant from water surfaces is equipped with a grid 15 to trap floating debris.
