Title: Improvements in or relating to typewriters
IPC: B41J7/94
Filed: 1958-04-10
Abstract: 839,228. Typewriters &c. PAILLARD S. A. April 1.0, 1958 [May 29, 1957],. No. 11361/58. Class. 100(4) A type bar machine has means to adjust the impact of all the bars when the case shift is effected and means to adjust the impact of each bar individually in each case shift position.. Depression of a key 19 Fig. 1, couples an element 4 to a constantly rotating shaft, as described in Specification 801,167, to effect printing, the impact force being determined by, the point of uncoupling as stop screws 10 or 11 engage a rod 12. The rod 12, extends across the machine as a universal stop and is mounted between two case shift levers so as to pivot to engage either the screw 10 or the screw 11 upon the operation of a key 52, Fig. 5, which releases a projec'- tion 51a of a lever 47 allowing the tooth 49 of the latter to engage a wheel 50 on the shaft 1 which then drives an eccentric 45 until the lever 47 engages a part 51b to disengage the drive. The eccentric 45 engages a finger 44 of a lever 42 fast on the rod 12 to turn it to a position to be engaged by the stop 11. Release of the key 52 releases the lever 47 from the part 51b and allows the shaft 1 to be engaged to rotate the eccentric 45 to the initial position shown returning the rod 12 to a position to engage the stop 10 again. Screws 10, 11 are adjustable to vary the impact of each type bar individually in either case shift position while in a modification adjustable stops are provided on the bar 12.

Title: Improvements in goods delivery vans or waggons
IPC: B60P3/025
Filed: 1921-04-20
Abstract: 182,955. Cook, G. April 20, 1921. Rotary cylinder, prism, and like apparatus.- A van for delivering a number of tradesmen's goods is provided with an indicator operated from the driver's seat whereby any particular tradesman's name can be exhibited. Also the goods are stored in the van so that ready access to any tradesman's good can be obtained. The irdicator comprises a polygonal roller 1, mounted in an apertured casing 3 and carrying a name on each of its faces. The roller is rotated by a lever 5 which has a lever 6 pivoted at its upper end. When the lever 10 is operated, the lever 6 engages one tooth of a ratchet-wheel 4, mounted on the roller spindle, and rotates the roller 1, the full movement into indicating position being completed by a spring arm 8 adapted to engage the ratchet teeth. An index indicator comprising a disc 11 is located in the front wall of the van and is operated by the spring 14 attached to the lever 5. When the lever 5 is operated, the turned-in end of the spring 14 rides over the pins 13 on the disc, but on return of the lever, the spring engages one of the pins and the disc is rotated, thereby indicating the name exhibited on the main indicator. In order that empty rear trays may be removed, and to facilitate access to the goods of the various tradesmen, portions 21, Fig. 5, of the rails 20 are pivoted to the sides of the van and are held in position by catches 22 engaging spring arms 23. When the arms 23 are moved back the pivoted portions drop due to the weight thereon and allow the empty trays to be pushed on to the lower rails. Arms 24 pivoted to the sides of the van allow the trays to be pushed into the van but prevent, by means of the stops 25, the trays from being pulled back to allow the pivoted rails to drop. The trays are of such a length that, until the arms 24 are lifted, one part will always rest on the fixed rails.
