Title: Photographic contact copying apparatus
IPC: G03B27/10
Filed: 1959-11-27
Abstract: 861,541. Contact printing apparatus. EISBEIN, W. Nov. 27, 1959 [Dec. 18, 1958; Dec. 20, 1958; March 18, 1959], No. 40382/59. Class 98(2) Contact printing apparatus comprises a flat translucent plate 3, a light source 1 on one side of the plate, and on the other side a roller 6 having at least its outer part of a porous elastic material (e.g. sponge rubber); the roller rotates on a shaft 4 spaced less than the roller radius from the plate, so that the roller presses against the plate with substantial flattening at the contact area. In Fig. 1 (not shown) the sponge rubber is an outer layer on an inner core of hard rubber. The spongy layer may be covered with an outer tube 7 of cotton cloth. The original, 8a, and light-sensitive copying paper, 9a, are passed together between roller 6 and plate 3, and, due to the flattening of the roller, exposure over a distance of about 25 mm. can be obtained with a roller of 55 mm. diameter. Thus a higher speed of travel of the copying material is possible. The positions of papers 8a and 9a can be reversed, for the "reflex" method of copying. Between roller and plate also pass a set of guiding threads 11, 12, which are all attached at one end to a bar 13, and at the other end to bars 14 and 15 alternately. Although sheets 8a and 9a are substantially in contact between roller and plate, sheet 8a is actually on one side of the threads and sheet 9a on the other side. Thus after leaving the exposure area, they automatically separate. The threads are thin, smooth, transparent, artificial fibres, which offer substantially no obstruction to the light or to the contact between the sheets. Fig. 4 (not shown) is an alternative arrangement in which the threads are in the form of a single continuous thread wound backwards and forwards, thus equalising the tension throughout.

Abstract: 1487743 Automatic control TOKYO SHIBAURA DENKI KK 17 Sept 1974 [28 Sept 1973] 40451/74 Heading G3N In an automatic cold-rolling mill control system, the roll gap is controlled according to the strip temperature, measured before rolling. Given equations are used to calculate the strip deformation resistance, strip exit temperature and rolling load, from which the desired roll gap is calculated and controlled. In the embodiment, a computer performs the calculations from the measured strip absolute temperature and pre-set values of constants of the material to be rolled, the input and desired output size of the material and the mill constants. The roll gap is controlled via screwdowns by the computer to limit the exit temperature of the strip, which is raised due to work done on it during rolling. If the calculated exit temperature is greater than a permissible level, the roll gap and rolling speed are both controlled.
