IPC: B41F23/06
Filed: 1927-10-19
Abstract: 279,832. Berthold Messinglinienfabrik und Schriftgiesserei, Akt.- Ges., H., (Assignees of Laarmann, O.). Oct. 28, 1926, [Convention date]. Sheet-separators ; sheet-carriers.- In a device for interleaving printed sheets with set-off sheets, reciprocating grippers and feed-fingers for taking the set-off sheets from a pile are arranged on a frame which is independent of the printing machine, and are operated therefrom by a loosely attached tension or pressure-member. On the delivery-shaft 1, Fig. 1, of the printing machine is secured a segment lever 2 or the like, which is connected by a tension or pressure member 3 to an actuating-lever 4 carried by links 5, 6. To the lever 4, which is controlled by a spring 16 or a weight, is connected a rod 7, which passes over a roller 8, and carries at its front end a gripper-strip 9. A rotatable spindle 10, mounted on the strip 9, carries grippers 11 and a lever 12, which is ccnnected by a rod 13 to a lever 14, the levers 12, 14 being caused to open and close the grippers by striking a stop 15. The removal of the set-off sheets from the pile 25 is effected by reciprocating feed-fingers 23, Fig. 2, carried by rods 22, which are operated by levers 21 and toothed segments from the shaft 17 of the link 6. When the sheet has been advanced into engagement with the grippers 11, rollers 24 on the rods 22 ride up an incline 29 and lift a pivoted link 31, by which the fingers 23 are supported during their return movement. Adhesion of the top sheet to the lower sheets is prevented by a device comprising a tension rod 36, Fig. 3, which is reciprocated by a lever 32 on the shaft 17, and is connected to rods 37, Fig. 4, having at their ends studs 38, fitted with feed-fingers 39, and guided in slots in a strip 35. During the forward movement of the grippers 11, the pull of the rod 36 causes the fingers 39 to move towards each other, so that waves are formed in the top sheet and its removal thereby facilitated. The rod 36 is then disconnected from its actuating-lever by a stop 45, and is pulled back by a spring 46, so that the fingers 39 are moved apart, and are raised from the pile by inclines 42.

Abstract: 935,823. Air cushion vehicles. HOVERCRAFT DEVELOPMENT Ltd. Sept. 24, 1959 [Sept. 1, 1958], No. 27976/58. Class 4. In a vehicle for travelling over land and/ or water and which is supported above the surface of the land and/or water by at least one cushion of pressurised gas formed beneath the vehicle and contained, at least in part, by a curtain of moving fluid, a fluid is caused to issue from the lower part of the vehicle to form the said curtain, at least part of the curtain forming fluid being recovered and used to form a further curtain and/or provide a part of the fluid forming the original curtain, injector means supplying energy to the recovered fluid or or part thereof, and supplementing the flow thereof. A plurality of embodiments are described which all employ single or multiple recovery systems, associated with injector nozzles. In Fig. 3 the main air curtain is expelled from a supply port 10 and enters inlet transfer port 11 passing through transfer duct 12 to re-issue through port 10. This flow is induced by the discharge of air from a plurality of discrete injector nozzles 15 supplied from a compressor 13. The nozzles may be arranged so that the vortex flows in the opposite direction or adjacent or spaced nozzles may be used to create two curtain systems, as in Fig. 9, wherein air from nozzle 40 energizes the flow from nozzle 41, which reenters at 42 to flow back to nozzle 41. The surplus air, generally equivalent to the air added by nozzle 40, enters inlet nozzle 44 and passes through duct 45 to a transfer port 46. A similar system operates outboard, energized by nozzle 47 and as shown the two vortex flows are spaced apart to enable an auxiliary vortex to form between them. Specifications 854,211, 919,350, 924,496 and 935,824 are referred to.

IPC: G06F17/40
Filed: 1961-08-04
Abstract: 991,363. Electronic computers. INFORMATION SYSTEMS Inc. Aug. 4, 1961, No. 28354/61. Heading G4A. Continuous variables are monitored by means of a standard digital computer-the IBM 650 or the Elliott 803 are mentioned-and an operator's control panel by means of which data constants can be changed and scanning or logging operations can be initiated. Analogue signals representing the variables are applied to a switching matrix 11 which under control of the computer gates one signal at a time to an analogue-to-digital converter 12 from where it is read to a predetermined storage location on a magnetic drum. The computer processes the digital data and, if it is found that the variable is outside certain preset limits, a horn is caused to sound and the variable is printed on a strip printer 15. At regular intervals, say hourly, a clock 17 initiates a logging process by which all the variables are printed out by typewriter 16. The operator may call for logging or scanning the variables, or may cause a digital display of any of the variables at the console. A variable is identified by a pointer number. Drum storage arrangement: To each monitoring point is alloted four data words having related drum addresses bearing a predetermined relationship to the point identifying number. The format of these words is shown in Fig. 6c. Word A contains the limits permissible to the variable. Word B contains information relevant to the processing of the received digits to obtain the true value of the variable: the function is the operation to be performed by the computer on these digits using the constants offset and gain factors. Word C contains: a marker to show, if the variable is abnormal, whether it has yet been printed out; a marker to show that the variable is abnormal; the abnormal value of the variable and the current value. Word D contains a market indicating whether on a logging sequence the variable has been printed out, and two markers which show whether this variable is to be skipped in a log or scan sequence. This word also contains two numbers giving the point number of next variables to be printed out or scanned respectively i.e. the next variable in the log or scan sequence. The operator may from the console change the values of any parts of these words save the alarm print and log loaded markers. A large part of the Specification is taken up with description of computer programs to effect scanning or logging. The operator's console is wired to the normal plugboard control of the computer and individual items of data are entered by setting rotary switches. Where many items are to be entered, control is switched to a tape reader.
