Title: Improvements in and relating to telegraphic printing devices employing a type wheel
Inventor: RUMSEY KENNETH GEORGE
IPC: G06K15/06
Filed: 1967-01-09
Abstract: 1,212,011. Selective printing. EXCHANGE TELEGRAPH CO. Ltd. 12 Jan., 1968 [9 Jan., 1967], No. 1207/67. Heading B6F. [Also in Divisions G4-G6] A single type wheel 3 in a telegraphic tape printer is rotatable for type character selection by a stepper motor 2 according to a coded electrical input. The motor shaft has six discrete positions and is geared to the type wheel 3 in a 6À1 ratio to define 36 positions of the type wheel. Hammer impression mechanism.-A print hammer 5 is actuated by a solenoid 4 through a rocker lever 6 and reset by a second solenoid 8. Paper feed arrangements.-Tape is fed to a printing position by an escapement mechanism comprising a pallet 14 oscillated by two solenoids 9 acting on a rocker lever 13 and coacting with an escapement wheel 12 coaxially mounted on a shaft A with a friction feed roller 11. The feed roller 11 coacts with a spring-loaded pressure roller 10. Ink-ribbon mechanism.-An ink ribbon 7 is driven by a synchronous motor 16 through a gear mounted on a pivoting lever (not shown), the gear engaging either of two gears, one associated with each ribbon spool 15. If a spool becomes exhausted, tension in the ribbon stalls the motor, which then rotates in the reverse direction, the lever pivoting so that the gear mounted thereon engages the alternative spool gear, as described in Specification 1,088,603.  Electrical control.-The electrical input co m prises sinusoidally oscillating current, the motor 2 stepping once for each time the current becomes zero. Pauses in the current oscillation at maximum or minimum current trigger electronic circuitry which actuates the print hammer solenoids in turn after a delay to permit the motor 2 to settle, and after a further delay, actuates the paper feed solenoids. The machine may idle, owing to a continuous train of sinusoidal pulses, for 1-5 seconds, after which the stepper motor is automatically switched off with the type wheel positioned so that a "blank" character is in the printing position. The positioning of the type wheel is achieved by a photo-cell 17 activated by a bulb 19, light being cut off by a lug 18 in the " blank " character position. The photo-cell also acts to inhibit the action of the print hammer when a space is required.

Title: Improvements in appliances for securing together the ends of bale ties
IPC: B65B13/34
Filed: 1939-01-13
Abstract: 510,139. Sealing. HOFFMAN, E. Jan. 13, 1939, No. 1251. [Class 146 (ii)] The overlapping ends of metal bale-ties are sealed by deforming thereon a metal sleeve 8 ,having inclined ends, the sealing-machine being constructed with inclined guides 21 for the sleeve and with correspondingly - inclined cutting-edges 20 in a fixed die 6 and a movable punch 4. Positioning-elements 12, 12a pivoted on opposite sides of the machine, are connected by a U-shaped bail. If the band and clip are not correctly positioned beneath the punch and tensioning-roller 1, the elements 12, 12a are held in raised positions, and the element 12 acts as a stop to prevent movement of the lever 15 by which the tensioning-roller 1 is depressed into operative position. The elements are normally held in raised position against the action of a spring 14 by a projection on the lever 15. When the lever 5 is rocked to depress the punch, a pin 19 thereon strikes against a lever 18, the lower end of which acts to rotate the lever 15 and release the roller 1 and elements 12, 12a.

Title: Improved glass rolling apparatus and method
IPC: B32B17/10
Filed: 1960-01-13
Abstract: 893,786. Laminating. FORD MOTOR CO., Ltd. Jan. 13, 1960 [Jan. 14, 1959], No. 1302/60. Class 140. A laminate comprising two sheets of curved glass and an interposed sheet of organic polymeric plastic material is prepressed by applying rolling pressure to opposite sides of the laminate, and varying the pressure from a relatively high pressure at the tips to a relatively low pressure at the section between them. As shown, a laminate 40 is carried by the rollers 44 to the nip between rollers 12 and 13 cradled in the frame structure 15. The roller 13 is fixed in relation to this frame; the roller 12 is pressed towards it by two shafts 37, one at each end, the other end of each shaft being connected with a diaphragm in a regulator 42. This regulator is connected through a pneumatic system with two sources of compressed air, one at a higher pressure than the other. When the laminate enters the nip, the regulator is connected with the high-pressure source, to apply a high pressure to the laminate. As the laminate passes between the rolls, the operator turns the frame 15, in a clockwise direction as shown, to keep the pressure normal to the surface of the laminate. This closes a cam switch to disconnect the regulator from the high-pressure source and connect it with the low-pressure source, so reducing the pressure on the laminate. When the trailing edge of the laminate reaches the nip, the frame has been rotated so far that the cam switch opens again and restores the original pressure. Specification 774,067 is referred to.

Title: Process of and apparatus for continuously chlorinating semi-chemical cellulose
IPC: D21C9/10
Filed: 1955-01-17
Abstract: <PICT:0764425/IV(a)/1> Semi-chemical cellulose is subjected to treatment with molecular chlorine in a continuous process in which the semi-pulp is treated with the chlorine in at least three successive stages at increasing cellulose dilution, without any intermediate alkaline treatment.  The temperature of the material in any stage is regulated by the introduction of diluting water of a predetermined temperature or steam.  The successive reactions may be carried out in separate vessels or in different compartments of a single apparatus.  As shown, semi-pulp is introduced into the first reaction chamber 1, consisting of several vertical tubes made of chlorine-resisting material, which empty into a vessel 3. The vessel 3 is lined with acid-resisting material and is provided with a mechanically actuated extractor 2 and an agitator.  The material descends the tubes by gravity, past nozzles through which the chlorine is introduced.  The material then passes through a second reaction chamber 4 in which it is agitated by helical stirrer 6, arranged so as to agitate the material in the lower part of the chamber only.  Chlorine is introduced through the hollow stirrer shaft, and diluting water-which may have its pH value adjusted by the addition of hydrochloric acid-is introduced tangentially in the vicinity of the stirrer.  The material then passes to a third reaction chamber 5 similar to the chamber 4.

Patent GB-667365-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in or relating to fractional separation of fatty oil substances
IPC: C11B7/00
Filed: 1948-01-20
Abstract: <PICT:0667365/III/1> <PICT:0667365/III/2> In the separation of crystallizable constituents from fatty oils or fatty acids or their mixtures by continuous vacuum filtration in presence of a solvent in a rotating drum filter, the mixture of fatty substance and solvent is chilled to produce a concentration of solid phase to liquid phase of about 2 to 6 per cent and is maintained at this concentration by recycling a portion of the filtrate or of the solids as may be necessary.  The solvent is preferably a low molecular weight ketone such as acetone or methylethyl ketone or a mixture of such with benzene or other aromatic hydrocarbon, but di- and tri-chlorethylenes, nitroparaffins, propane, butane, pentane and compatible mixtures of these solvents may be used.  The filter cake is preferably adjusted to a thickness of between 0.125 in. and 0.25 in. and the filter drum is preferably submerged in the filtering mixture to the extent of 40 to 50 per cent during the formation of the cake. The process is particularly applied to the separation of stearic, palmitic and oleic acids from soya-bean fatty acids; also to the treatment of vegetable and animal oils such as corn oil, palm oil, coconut oil, rape oil, walnut oil, and sardine oil, after saponifying and treating with acids, and to fatty acid mixtures resulting from the splitting of fats or from the oxidation of paraffin hydrocarbons.  In an example of the separation of stearic, palmitic, and oleic acids from acidified soya-bean oil, the fatty oil and 2 or 3 times its volume of acetone pass to a mixer 2 and heater 4 to effect complete solution of the fatty oil in the solvent and then to a chiller 5 where the temperature is reduced to 0 DEG F. to 5 DEG F. to effect the crystallization of stearic and palmitic acids in the first stage.  The mixture is then incorporated with recycled filtrate from the pipe 23 and passes to a rotary filter 6, shown in cross-section in Fig. 2, where the filter cake formed on the rotary drum 50 is drained, washed with additional acetone, drained again, and discharged as it passes round the successive segments 60, 65, 66, 68 and 70 of the drum and meets successively cold circulating inert gas from the pipe 17, wash solvent from the pipe 11, inert gas flowing from the exterior to the interior of the drum, and pressure blow-back flowing from the interior to the exterior of the drum in the segment 70.  The cake is loosened on the filter cloth at this point, thus facilitating its removal by a scraper 71 through a conduit 9 (not shown in Fig. 2), to the receiver 10.  The filtrate passes to a receiver 8 through the pipe 7 and the wash filtrate through a pipe 12 to a receiver 13.  One portion of the filtrate is recycled through a pipe 23 to control the ratio of solids to liquids in the separation chamber, and the other passes on to a second stage separation conducted at a temperature of -35 DEG  to -45 DEG F. when oleic acid is separated out.
