Title: A device for moistening the ink ribbons of typewriters and like machines
IPC: B41J31/14
Filed: 1924-12-10
Abstract: 243,539. Cooper, L. N. Dec. 10, 1924. Ink-ribbon, mechanism. - In a device for moistening or reviving an ink ribbon whilst in use on a typewriter or like machine, the ink ribbon is directed by guides G into contact with a roller C to which ink or other fluid is transferred from an absorbent roller A, the device being mounted on the machine by means of a clip R, V, W, which is detachably secured to the device to permit of the use of different forms of clip for different patterns of machines. Fluid may be transferred from the roller A by a strip B of felt &c. which can be moved out of contact with the roller C by rocking a lever D having a lug F engaging the strip. The rollers are preferably mounted on the base Q of the device, the roller C being revoluble on a pin H and the roller A being secured by a screw O. A cover T for the rollers rests on a housing S and is secured by a screw entering a post L on,the base. The lever D is pivoted on the post. The roller A is covered with felt &c. and can be replenished through a hole in the cover T. The guides G may be formed on or secured to the base. The clip R, V, W may be detachably secured by the screw O.

Title: Improvements in and relating to electrical control circuits
IPC: G05D23/24
Filed: 1950-12-04
Abstract: 703,758. Control systems for consumption apparatus. BRITISH THOMSON-HOUSTON CO., Ltd. Dec. 4, 1950 [Dec. 20, 1949], No. 29619/50. Class 38 (4). [Also in Group XXXVIII] In a circuit arrangement, such as that described in Specification 696,369, wherein a layer 6 of normally insulating organic material disposed between two conductors 5, 7 conducts at an elevated temperature to effect switching of a supply to a load such as an electrically heated blanket 2 thereby to provide overheat protection, the present invention provides an additional member 22 responsive to temperature and/or humidity change and connected into the bridge circuit controlling the supply switching relay 15 whereby to increase the degree of temperature or humidity or both at which the load is switched out. As shown, the additional member 22 is a thermistor in heat exchange relationship with a cycling control heating resistor 11, and is serially connected in the bridge circuit with a capacitor 17 which resonates with an inductor 18 to provide the relay operating voltage. At the temperature point in the blanket at which conduction across the layer 6 would otherwise unbalance the bridge to relay drop-out point, the decreased resistance of member 22, consequent upon heating by resistor 11, offsets the unbalance of the bridge until a predetermined higher temperature is reached, at which the relay will drop out. Partly to counteract increased conduction of the layer 6 due to humidity thereof, the member 22 is shunted by a humidity compensator 26 which has a similar effect on the bridge. The compensator may comprise one conductor in the form of tube, spaced from the other, axially disposed therein, by material having similar hygroscopic characteristics to the layer 6. Alternatively the members 22, 26 may be disposed in the blanket 2, or the former may be connected in series or in parallel with the relay coil 16 ; or it may comprise a positive temperature coefficient resistor shunting capacitor 17, or may be constituted by making the signal wire 5 of negative temperature coefficient of resistance material. In controls responsive purely to humidity, the compensator 26 only is provided to elevate the point at which the relay drops out.

[Class 40 (iii)] [Also in Group XX] In a photographic type-composing machine, wherein chosen light-transparent stencil characters on a continuously rotating cylinder are projected on to a stationary photographic film by means of a short duration flash of light from an electric arc or a glow-discharge lamp and said film is moved between successive flashes to space correctly successive characters, a continuously-rotating drum is perforated along a single turn spiral path extending the length of the drum, one perforation being provided for each key on the character-selecting board, so that light from a lamp within the drum shines through these holes on to corresponding shuttered selenium cells, depression of a chosen key removing the shutter from the appropriate cell when the corresponding perforation has come opposite it, and the cell current thus generated is employed to flash the source of light which projects the character image on to the film and to feed the film subsequently.

Abstract: 628,483. Frictional pocket igniters. SELLIER, G. A. Oct. 14, 1947, No. 30546/46. [Class 75(iii)] In a pocket lighter comprising an actuating roller 1 rotatably mounted adjacent to one side of the lighter casing, and mounting at one end a friction wheel 3 engaging a flint for igniting a wick 14, and a tubular housing 5 containing the flint and disposed parallel to the upper surface of the casing, the housing 5 is mounted at one end for rotation about the axis of the roller 1 and carries a closure member 8 which in a locked position of the housing 5 closes a filling aperture in the upper surface of the lighter body.

Title: Improvements in or relating to overhead conveying systems
IPC: B61B10/00
Filed: 1958-09-24
Abstract: 853,253. Endless-chain conveyers. OHRNELL, O. Sept. 24, 1958 [Sept. 25, 1957], No. 30561/58. Class 78 (1). In an endless-chain overhead conveyer for use in the continuous manufacture of industrial products, e.g. ready-made clothing, each garment is hung on a carrier 8, Fig. 5, which can be attached by the hook 16 to hook means 7, Fig. 1, provided on the conveyer 2 at any working station after sliding down an inclined bar 10 and discharged at any other station on to a reversely-inclined bar 9, Fig. 2, means being provided for automatically moving the hook 16 into engagement with the hook 7 and disengaging it therefrom at the stations. Each bar 10 has latches 11, 12, 13 for retaining a carrier until an empty hook 7 is in line with it. The latch 11 is released by an electromagnet 14 when a contact on the conveyer framework, slightly in advance of the bar 10 in the direction of movement of the conveyer, is actuated by the hook 7. This actuation has no effect if a carrier 8 is on the hook, because said carrier will have already actuated a contact in series with the first-mentioned contact to open the circuit. The latch 11 is released when the supporting arm 23 is raised by the engagement of a roller 21 mounted on the hook 7 with a cam surface 22. Each carrier 8 has a vertical shank 26 provided with a series of holes 27 which correspond with the various stations. A plug inserted into the appropriate hole will cause the energization of an electromagnet 24 at the selected station which moves a projection 28 into the path of a projection 29 on the hook 7. This projection is locked in this position by the engagement of a pivoted arm 31 with a recess in it and is disengaged to release the carrier when a projection 30 on the hook comes into contact with it. When any bar 9 is filled, a switch on it is actuated to open the circuit of the electromagnet 24 to prevent the release of any more carriers at this station. Specification 746,422 is referred to.
