Patent GB-275072-A (GB)
Title: A toy figure which imitates natural walking movements
IPC: A63H7/00
Filed: 1926-12-23
Abstract: 275,072. H÷ning, H. Dec. 23, 1926. Mechanical toys.-In a toy figure imitating the walking movements of a quadruped, the legs are pivoted on pins k and diagonally opposite legs are connected by two parallel racks b, c engaging pinions d, e disposed between them, the arrangement being such that the legs move forward alternately in pairs. The toy may be propelled by hand or mechanically and is provided with means whereby one front leg is raised from the ground during the forward movement of the other. Rollers l are provided at the lower ends of the legs. Each front leg has slidably mounted upon it a member n, that is provided at its lower end with a stop o adapted to lock the roller l, and is connected through a lever z to a slidable support m. The member n is normally maintained in its lower or locking position by the action of spring p, in which position the support m is caused to engage the ground and thereby raise the leg. In the extreme backward position of the leg, a projection q on the upper end of the member n engages a guide v and the member is thereby raised out of locking position and is held in raised position by a slide t that engages beneath a pin w projecting from the member. At the end of the forward movement of the leg, a stop s on one of the racks moves the slide t against the action of a spring u, thereby allowing the pin w to drop into a slot v in the slide and the member n to return to the locking position.

Abstract: 398,676. Stencil-printing apparatus. GESTETNER, S., Neo-Cyclostyle Works, Tottenham Hale, London. Nov. 18, 1932, No. 32707. [Class 100 (ii).] In stencil-duplicating machines of the kind wherein the stencil is attached to a flexible carrier travelling over inking - cylinders, the width of the inking-cylinders is considerably less than the maximum width of the sheets the sheet feeding or supporting mechanism is designed to accommodate, and the supports for the cylinders are such as to provide a gap or otherwise to permit free passage of the portion of the sheet extending laterally from that on which the impression is to be produced. This enables the machine to be used for printing on large sheets of paper, booklets, &c. and especially for printing late news on newspapers. As shown, the spindles 20, 18 of inking- cylinders 3, 3a are mounted in a U-shaped frame 21 providing a gap at one side so that the machine may deal with wide sheets supported on a feed table 2. In a modification, Fig. 3 (not shown), the spindles are supported at one end only in spaced uprights.

Abstract: 1,184,660. Squaring function generator. BUNKER-RAMO CORP. 6 Nov., 1967 [18 Nov., 1966], No. 32909/69. Divided out of 1,184,659. Heading G4A. A circuit generates a number of pulses approximately equal to a quarter of the square of the number of input pulses. As shown, input pulses #f are applied to the trigger inputs of a first counter circuit R1 and of a second cascade counter circuit R2. The stage 196 of circuit R1 is permanently in state 1. The circuits R1 and R2 are incremented respectively by pulses at inputs 190 and 192, the latter input being connected to the overflow output 230 of circuit R1 and the former input to the input pulses #f by way of a delay 200. Whenever the circuits R1 and R2 are triggered, pulses are emitted from those stages in the state 1, the number of pulses from each stage corresponding to its binary significance in the chain (1, 2, 4 or 8). These emitted pulses are OR-ed by gates 216, 227 and passed to a further output OR-gate 228 either directly (f1 pulses) or by way of a frequency divider counter circuit R3 (f2 pulses). The input #f is from the contour generator of the machine tool control system of the parent Specification.

Title: Current choppers for direct current machines
IPC: B60L9/00
Filed: 1970-07-08
Abstract: 1310970 Control of DC motors; protective arrangements JEUMONT-SCHNEIDER 8 July 1970 [8 July 1969] 33152/70 Headings H2J and H2K A series machine MG which may operate as a motor or a generator is connected to a D.C. source E having impedance L2, R2, through a chopper circuit comprising thyristor T1 and quenching unit X as well as a free-wheeling diode D2. The system also includes a filter Lo, Co, associated with a power-dissipating circuit having resistor R and thyristor switch T3. An actuating and protective logic unit P controls the copper operation and protects the system against over-voltage. When the voltage across terminals A, B, reaches a predetermined level due to the inability of the source E to absorb regenerated power, thyristor T3 fires to introduce resistor R whereby excess voltage is prevented. During normal motoring operation when no rapid variation of chopper operation is called for, the current of the machine is reduced gradually in response to an over-voltage. However, under emergency conditions, the chopper is blocked instantaneously, the power-dissipating circuit is brought into operation simultaneously, and the circuit breaker D1 is opened.
