Title: Typist's aid
IPC: B41J29/15
Filed: 1974-11-29
Abstract: 1491210 Copy-holders H D MYER 29 Nov 1974 [30 Nov 1973] 55590/73 Heading B6W A copy-holder comprises a copy support board 1 having an extension 10 formed with a pattern of transparent lines, and a line indicator 3 hinged to a carriage 5 slidable along a bar 8 and having an extension 11 above the extension 10. The extension 11 has a slot 12 in which is adjustably secured a carrier 13 mounting a photo-director 14, while supported by the board 1 below the extension 10 is an elongated tungsten lamp. The indicator 3 is driven by driving means 22 through a cord 19 secured to the carriage 5. When the indicator is moved up the board manually, the driving means 22 is rotated and stores up energy in a clockwork type spring. A solenoid braking means within the means 22 is energized to prevent movement of the indicator only when light from the lamp passes through one of the transparent lines in the extension 10, and only when a switch 17 on the carriage 5 is not pressed. The solenoid when energized remains energized until the operator presses a foot switch. The indicator is first moved up the board with the switch 17 pressed, the switch is released, and the indicator moves downwards until the first transparent line is detected. Thereafter, every time the foot switch is operated, the indicator moves down by the distance between two transparent lines, which depends on the adjusted position of the carrier 13. Alternatively, the means 22 may be a conventional servo-motor. The hinge 4 for the indicator may have an intermediate link to allow for thickness of papers on the board. The transparent lines may be replaced by a grid, the carriage being stopped when a predetermined number of grid lines have been traversed by the detector 14, or by a perforated encoding disc. The foot switch may be replaced by a controllable timer.

Abstract: 1418226 Valves M H GROVE and J M E GROVE [trading as M & J DEVELOPMENT CO] 7 Dec 1973 [15 Dec 1972] 56833/73 Heading F2V [Also in Division F1] An hydraulic valve system comprises a number of main flow control valves A, B, C each having an hydraulic actuator 10 and associated auxiliary valve 23 controlling the flow from a common manifold 26 to actuator 10, the manifold 26 being supplied by an hydraulic accumulator 12 via an isolating valve 37 which is normally in the closed position. To open or close main valve A the appropriate switch of an associated pair S1A, S2A is operated to energize solenoid valve 30 or 29 and thus cause air pressure in line 27 to operate actuator 25 to open or close auxiliary valve 23. Simultaneously the current flow through a conductor 32 common to all the solenoids is detected by a trigger circuit 31. The latter causes current to be applied to relay switch 34 thus energizing a further solenoid which opens isolating valve 37 to permit accumulator pressure to act via line 28, manifold 26 and check valve 24 on the main valve actuator 10. Upon opening of switch S1A or S2A trigger circuit 31 senses that current is no longer flowing in conductor 32 and thus deenergizes relay switch 34 to cause closure of isolating valve 37. The latter can be by-passed via valve 38 for emergency or manual operation. Main valves B and C are controlled in similar manner to valve A by operation of switches S1B, S2B and S1C, S2C. Pressure in hydraulic accumulator 12 is maintained by pump 13 driven by electric motor 17 controlled by pressure switch 19, the pump being supplied from liquid reservoir 16. In a modification air operated actuator 25 is replaced by solenoid means.

Abstract: 1,198,716. Rotary positive-displacement pumps. TOYODA MACHINE WORKS Ltd. Dec. 14, 1967 [Dec. 17, 1966], No.56965/67. Heading F1F. In a rotary positive-displacement pump spring- loaded abutments 23 in a fixed casing-member 20 engage with the periphery of a rotor 30 including surfaces R 1 , R 2  and C 1 , C 2  of uniform and non- uniform radii, respectively, working fluid being drawn by the rotor from a reservoir 40 through a channel 34 in a driving shaft 31 and recess 33 in the rotor and discharged to a port 70 through another recess 35 and channels 36, 43, 44. The rate of flow of outgoing fluid is regulated by a spool valve-member 51 controlling a port 60 that communicates with the reservoir, the valve-member being responsive to the pressure difference across an orifice 53. Excessive pressure at the port 70 moves a valve-member 61 so as to increase the pressure difference across the valve-member 51 and thereby increase the flow of fluid back to the reservoir. Discs 12, 13 abutting the ends of the rotor and the member 20 are pressure loaded. An aperture 23s on the leading side of each abutment gives fluid access the under-side of the abutment. A second embodiment, Figs. 8 to 10 (not shown), differs chiefly in that the flow of outgoing fluid is regulated by a centrifugal by-pass valvemember (152) in the rotor. Pressure at a delivery port (141) is controlled by a spring-loaded valve member (160). In a third embodiment, Figs. 12 and 13 (not shown), there are no means for controlling the outgoing fluid and the channel 34 is replaced by a channel (183) in the rotor. A channel (187) for the outgoing fluid is also provided in the rotor.

Abstract: 1370368 Examining a surface INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS MACHINES CORP 13 Dec 1971 [16 Jan 1971] 57706/71 Heading G1A In an apparatus for detecting a discontinuity in a surface optical characteristic (an edge or a line) the surface is alternately illuminated by two different shaped light patterns (see top of Fig.3) which are symmetrical with respect to one another and which scan the surface together. The light reflected off or transmitted through the surface is received by a photo-cell and the difference between the integrals of each pair of output signals is monitored and when the difference is zero (see bottom of Fig.3) a measurement of the position and an indication of the presence of a central discontinuity may be obtained. In an embodiment, Fig. 4, polarized light (polarized at 45 degrees to the plane of the paper) is converted into a pair of components (# and #) linearly polarized in planes perpendicular to one another by a birefringent crystal 11 and thence by an electro-optic element 13, supplied by a high frequency source 14, into a pair of oppositely handed circularly polarized beams whose directions of polarization are alternated by the high frequency source whose voltage amplitude is the "“" voltage (see the two sets of symbols). A “ plate 15 then converts the circularly polarized pairs of light beams into corresponding pairs of linearly polarized beams having planes of polarization perpendicular to one another and a further birefringent crystal 12 combines and separates the beams, as indicated, so that a lens 16 can focus the beams alternately from a source spot 5 to a double spot pattern 6, 7 on a surface 18 being scanned which has a line 19. The birefringent crvstals 11 and 12 may be replaced by Wollaston or Nikol prisms and in another arrangement Figs. 6 and 6A (not shown) two deflector stages containing electro-optically controllable rotator and birefringent crystals (as disclosed in 976, 610) to alternately direct the beam through a different portion of a mask to form the two patterns which eventually impinge on the surface are used.

Title: Control device for tabulation printing
IPC: B41J21/14
Filed: 1973-12-13
Abstract: 1438392 Control of printers CASIO COMPUTER CO Ltd 13 Dec 1973 [13 Dec 1972] 57896/73 Heading G4H A printer includes means for printing data in tabulated columns in which numerical and alphanumerical data are respectively right- and left-justified. Bits are entered by means of a keyboard 10 in a circulating register 13 in positions corresponding to the column-defining tabset positions (e.g. 10, 20, . . . , Fig. 4A). A bit in a register 14, circulating synchronously with the contents of 13, indicates the position of the printhead 12 (or paper, if this is being moved instead), both being stepped by signals S3a, S3b from an OR gate 19. Data S7 is fed to a buffer 11 (whence it is fed one character 32 at a time to the printer) and to a discriminator 16, Fig. 2A (not shown), whose output S9, S10 indicates whether the data is wholly numeric or not. For numeric data, a bit is entered in a circulating register 15, Fig. 4C, in a position corresponding to the righthand tabset position of the column being printed. A signal S15 then enters bits in the positions corresponding to those where data will be printed (e.g. a 3-digit number in Fig. 4D). A signal S12 then causes a control circuit 36, Fig. 2C (not shown), to output a signal I which sets a flip-flop 38 to provide stepping signals S3a, S3b. When the bit in register 14 has been shifted to the position of the first bit in register 15, gate 47 is enabled and flip-flop 38 is reset. In response to an output reset signal from 38, circuit 36 generates outputs II (opens gate 33 to allow the first character to be printed), III (shift one position) and IV (to gates 41, 42). Gate 42 is blocked by a signal from a circuit 43 until the outputs from 13, 14 coincide; meanwhile the output S13 from gate 41 causes the output of signals II-IV to be repeated until printhead 12 reaches the tabset position (Figs. 4E-4H): now gate 42 is enabled, and its output S14 clears 15 and 16, ready for the next column to be printed. When alphanumeric data is being printed, discriminator 16 does not set flip-flop 38, so that the printhead is not continuously stepped forward, and register 15 has no effect. Thus the first character is printed immediately after the lefthand tabset position for that column, by signals II-IV from circuit 36. The registers may be replaced by counters and keyboard 10 may be replaced by a computer.
