Title: Improvements in or relating to feed mechanisms for continuous webs of paper or other materials and autographic register incorporating the same
Inventor: BENNETT BENJAMIN WILLIAM
IPC: B41L5/06
Filed: 1958-06-19
Abstract: 921,009. Feeding webs. A. J. CATLIN Ltd., and J. & T. ENGINEERING Ltd. June 18, 1959 [June 19, 1958 (2); Feb. 3, 1959], Nos. 19717/58, 19718/58 and 3843/59. Class 100(1). [Also in Group XV] A feed mechanism for the intermittent delivery of predetermined lengths of paper, e.g. continuous stationery from an autographic register comprises a feed roller over which the web passes, stop means being provided for preventing further rotation of the feed roller when the predetermined length has been reached. A sprocket roller 17 has a tubular sleeve 19 having end caps 20 carrying sprocket teeth 21, the spacing of which corresponds to the spacing of apertures provided in the edges of webs of continuous stationery fed from a compartment 4 and delivered to a lockable compartment 5 which receives carbon copies of sheets issued by the register. The sprocket roller 17 is locked against clockwise rotation as seen in Fig. 1 by a pawl 34 engaging a ratchetwheel 32, Fig. 3. An index plate 36 is mounted on one end of a tubular shaft 23. A stop plate 38 having a radial abutment 39 is secured by a nut 40 on a shaft 41. The plate 38 has a driving pin 43 engaging one of a series of holes 44 in the index plate 36. The abutment 39 engages a stop pin 49, Fig. 3, positioned in one of a series of holes 49a in the frame 2. Thus, the amount of rotation of the roller 17 can be varied to suit the required length of form to be fed by varying the position of the pin 49, Fig. 3. The abutment 39, Fig. 3, is reset after a feeding operation by inward pressure of a knob 42 on the shaft 41, thereby disengaging the pin 43 from the index plate 36 to permit the shaft 41 to be rotated by a clock spring 46 wound up during a feeding operation. The roller 17 may be driven manually by a handle 74 or by an electric motor, not shown. Alternatively, a manually rotated roller 18, Fig. 6 (not shown), having a covering 31 of friction material drives the roller 17. A roll of carbon paper is supported at one side of the register on spigots 50, 51, the spigot 50 being fixed while the spigot 51 is carried by a spring-pressed plunger 53. Carbon paper is fed transversely of the continuous stationery and is wound up on a shaft 58, Fig. 2 (not shown), rotatable by a knob 64 on a spring- pressed plunger 60. The web is maintained in engagement with the roller 17 by bristles 76, Fig. 3, or a pressure plate 80, Fig. 7 (not shown).

Indexing.-A turntable 1 for a machine tool is fitted with conical pins 3, 4 terminating in parallel-sided stop members 8, 10 of exactly equal width. The table moves on a pivot 2 which is slotted to receive a guided cross-member 12 which is actuated by rack-and-pinion gearing 13 and which carries projections 18, 19 having coplanar faces inclined to the line of movement of the cross-members. The projections thus engage the stop members with a wedging action so as to lock the table securely in position. In order to give an angular movement of exactly 180 to the table, the member 12 is first moved longitudinally, the table rotated through approximately 180 and the member 12 then moved back to engage the projections with the stop members and effect the exact adjustment. Other pairs of pins such as 3, 4 may be provided if other angular movements are required. The worm 23, or other gearing which effects the rotation of the table, may be mounted in bearings carried by an extension 22 of the member 12, Fig. 3, so that the worm is disengaged during the locking of the table. In a modification, the positions of the locking parts may be interchanged, or either the table or the member 12 may be provided with a pair of pins engaging a parallel-sided slot in the coacting member.

Abstract: 1306106 Automatic temperature control DANFOSS A S 27 April 1970 [26 April 1969] 20202/70 Heading G3R [Also in Division H2] A circuit arrangement for switching the power successively to a plurality of loads on and off in a stepwise manner in dependence upon an upper and a lower limiting value of a control signal, the arrangement comprising a reversible counter which counts upwards or downwards in dependence upon the nature of the limiting value, the input to the counter comprising one or more digital impulses generated when the control signal is at its upper or lower limiting value and the output of the counter controlling the switching of the loads. An automatic temperature control system for a refrigerator comprises a plurality of refrigerant condensers represented by coils 79; 81, 80; 85,84,83,82, which are energised by way of triacs 72,73,74, a thermostatic switch 12 being arranged to be responsive to the temperature of the refrigerator evaporator. When the temperature of the evaporator rises the contact 13 of the switch 12 moves to contact the upper limiting value contact 14. A condenser 22 then charges from a D. C. supply 10,11 by way of a variable resistor 23 and a transistor 29. After a predetermined time the condenser is sufficiently charged to fire a unijunction transistor 25 whereupon a positive impulse is applied to a lead 28. Simultaneously a positive voltage is applied to an "upwards" control lead 37. The impulses on leads 28,37 form inputs to a reversible counter 54 with the result that an output signal appears at b in counter stage 55 to fire the triac 72 to start the refrigerating condenser 79. If the evaporator temperature still rises the contact 13 will remain on the "upper" contact 14 and after another predetermined time the condenser 22 will apply a second pulse to lead 28. This will switch the counter from stage 55 to stage 56 so rendering triac 73 conducting to start refrigerating condensers 80, 81 and stop refrigerating condenser 79. Should the evaporator temperature still rise another impulse from condenser 22 will switch the control from triac 73 to triac 74 to start refrigerating condensers 82-85. When the evaporator temperature falls the contact 13 moves to contact the lower limiting value contact 15. Under this condition the condenser 22 will produce impulses as described above but in this instance the positive voltage is applied to an input lead 38 of the counter 54 with the result that the refrigerating condensers are successively switched off. Manual operation of the arrangement is possible by moving a changeover switch 16 to its upper position and using a manually operated switch 17 to its upper and lower limiting values contacts 19, 20 respectively as required. The loads 79-85 may alternatively be A.C. motors. The reversible counter 54 is described in detail in Specification No 1260614. In a second embodiment two impulse generators may be used, one associated with the upper limiting value and the other, the lower limiting value.
