Title: Data printer
Inventor: EWEN-SMITH BEVERLEY MICHAEL
IPC: B41J11/38
Filed: 1984-09-25
Abstract: A portable radio paging device 2 provides a printout of the messages it receives, it has a dot matrix printer 24 and a photocell 22 sensing perforations for detecting the movement of paper 16 past the printer. The user is warned of the receipt of a message by a bleep and draws the paper from the paging device. The message is printed evenly along the length of the paper despite variations in the speed at which it is pulled, as a result of the photocell and control circuitry 10. A second bleep indicates that the whole message has been printed and the user can then tear off the paper strip to examine the message. The photocell 22 may be replaced by an optical disc driven by one of two idler rollers gripping the paper. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A device for overlap sewing pieces of knitted elasticated tape 9, in a stretched state and having regular ends, to a fabric has continuous feeder belts 2, 3 each having upwardly-directed gripping means, to retain the tape and fabric respectively. The belts are parallel but at different heights, are on either side of the sewing line on a feed table 1 and forward the tape and fabric to a sewing head. A clamping device 7 positions and aligns the end of the tape 9 remote from the sewing head. The thus positioned and firmly-retained tape 9 is aligned with a separator 4 between the belts 2,3. The tape 9 has the required stretch or pretensioning and is retained on the belt 2 by a displaceable transparent cleat 6 adjustable for height and parallelism relative to the tape feeder belt 3. The cleat is movable over the tape feeder belt 3 to immediately upstream of the sewing head and presses against the belt 3 over its entire length. A sewing foot in front of the needle forms an extension to cleat 6 when the latter has been moved into its end position. <IMAGE>
