Patent GB-320104-A (GB)
Abstract: 320,104. National Cash Register Co., and Woods, W. B. July 5, 1928. Addition to 263,196. Cash-registers with operating-means.-The cycle of operation of the machine may be interrupted once or more than once and completion or continuance of the operation is initiated by use of the ordinary release key. or of the crank handle. As shown in Fig. 3, a disc 2 fast on the main shaft 1 is provided with two spaced shoulders to lock alternately with a pawl 4, pivoted at 50 and rigid with an arm 5. Depression of the usual release key 17 permits the pawl under spring action to withdraw from the shoulder engaged to allow the cycle to commence. Subsequently in the cycle one of two pins 131 contacts with the arm 5 to throw the pawl into locking engagement again whereupon the machine stops. To complete the cycle the key is again depressed to repeat the above sequence of movements. By substitution of another disc 2 having mone than two shoulders and pins, the cycle may be interrupted more than once. Fig. 2 shows the application of the invention to a crank-operated machine wherein the main shaft is unlocked by a slight reverse movement of the crank. The locking-pawl 141 cooperates as before with one of two shoulders 3. on the disc 2 and is connected by a pin 31 and slot 30 with the contact arm 151. When the crank is moved backward slightly, one of the pins 131 displaces the arm 151 to the left so that a spring 32 can pull the pawl 141 downwardly, the pin 31 moving down the vertical branch of the slot 30. The machine may then be operated until the other pin 131 forces the arm 151 to the right to cam the pawl 3 upward into engagement with the second shoulder 3 to stop the operation. The cycle may be resumed after the preliminary backward motion of the crank as before. In order to prevent more than one impression by the platen 58, Fig 3, a shaft 62 may be turned by hand to free a hook from a pin 47 on a pivoted latch 45 and thereby allow the latter to be rocked to. the left under the control of a cam 41 and pitman 44 to seize the platen. By varying the form of the cam 41 and the platen-operating cam. 25 two or more impressions may be permitted.

Patent GB-479628-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in or relating to the weaving of fabrics with striped coloured designs
IPC: D03D23/00
Filed: 1936-11-23
Abstract: 479,628. Figured fabrics. SOC. ANON. TISSAGES DE SOIERIES REUNIS. Nov. 23, 1936, No. 32038. Convention date, May 25. [Class 142 (iv)] In weaving reversible fabrics for tablelinen &c., with striped designs by rising weft threads of different colours, the healds are arranged in two groups to produce a pattern in the transverse direction, and a change of pattern in the longitudinal direction is obtained by interrupting the sequence of picking without changing the order of shedding. Thus four healds may control the warp threads c, d, e, f, Fig. 6, in the parts 1, 3, 5, 7, 9, Fig. 1, of the fabric, four other healds controlling the warp threads p, q, r, s, Fig. 7, in the other parts 2, 4, 6 of the fabric, the shedding being such that picks g, h, k, m float mainly over the warp threads p, q, r, s and under the warp threads c, d, e, f, whilst picks i, j, n, o float mainly over the warp threads c, d, e, f and under the warp threads p, q, r, s. In weaving the transverse band 11, picks g, h, k, m are inserted by a shuttle carrying say blue weft and picks i, j, n, o by one carrying white weft. Consequently on the face of the fabric blue weft appears mainly at the parts E, G, L and white at the parts D, F, H, the reverse running at the back. On reaching the transverse band 2, the normal sequence of picking two blue followed by two white wefts is interrupted by say picking four blue wefts in succession, after which the normal sequence of picking is resumed. Picks g, h &c. are now inserted by the shuttle carrying white weft and picks i, j &c., by the shuttle carrying blue weft, so that the pattern in the band 12 is the reverse of that in the band 11. The Specification as open to inspection under Sect. 91 refers to the use of more than two series of four healds and to a third weft. This subject-matter does not appear in the Specification as accepted.

Abstract: 900,289. Viewfrinders GRUTER, R., MEIXNER, W., and NOLTE, A., [trading as BALDAKAMERAWERK R. GRUTER KOMM.-GES.]. Sept. 22, 1959 [Sept. 24, 1958], No. 32171/59. Drawings to Specification. Classes 97 (1) and 98(1). A device for varying the size of the frame to be reflected into a viewfinder field comprises two superimposed plates continuously variable in a diagonal direction, each plate comprising two sides of a rectangular frame and being formed by making the parts of the plates outside the frame opaque and the parts inside partially transparent, so that when the two are superimposed a bright rectangular frame is formed on a dark background. This may be done by making the plate of plane polarizing material the directions of polarization of the plates being mutually perpendicular, the frame portions of the plates, however, being formed of a transparent non-polarizing material. Alternatively, the plates may comprise coloured filters, the colours being chosen so that a coloured but bright frame appears on a black background. In another embodiment, the background part of each plate is formed by a strip grating, the frame portions being two perpendicular slots so that when the plates are superimposed the strip gratings supplement each other so that a striped frame is visible on a black background.

Abstract: 873,434. Optical testing apparatus. ADAMS, J. R., and KAPELLA Ltd. Oct. 18, 1957 [Oct. 23, 1956], No. 32261/56. Class 97(1) In an optical measuring or testing apparatus of the kind which comprises an alignment telescope which can be sighted on a remote object for investigating positional or like errors, the telescope is provided with a projection fitting including an objective for projecting the telescope image, a projection screen for receiving the projected image, and reflecting means for directing the rays on to the screen and for appropriately erecting the image thereon. As shown, the alignment telescope comprises a spherical boss A from which extends forwardly the main telescope tube A1 containing an objective made up of fixed elements B1, B2, B3 and an element B4, which is axially movable for focusing by means of a micrometer head A4. The telescope tube also contains two lateral deviators Cl, C2 respectively adjustable by rods C3, C4, which are operable by micrometer heads A3 on either side of the boss A. A lamp'house D is attached to the boss and light therefrom is reflected by a half-silvered mirror D2 to illuminate a graticule A2 and a further graticule A5 which is out of focus for direct vision, but the reflection of which may be viewed in a distant mirror. A tube E is rotatably clamped to the boss A opposite the tube A1 by means of a screw-threaded clamping ring E1. This tube E leads to a further inner tube E3 containing a projection objective F and a roof prism G and to which is attached a box-like casing E4 carrying three projection screens H1, H2 and H3. Within this casing is a fixed mirror J4 and a mirror J which is rotatable about a horizontal axis for selectively directing the rays proceeding from the telescope on to any of the screens, according to choice, to form a correctly inverted image of the distant object. The projection objective F is focused by movement along the tube E3 by a hand knob Fl having an eccentric pin F2 engaging a slot in the objective mount F3. The mirror J has three operable positions and is controlled by a hand knob provided with spring detents. In the position J, the beam is directed along the axis a-a on to screen H1; in the position J2 the image passes directly on to the screen H3; and in the position J3 the beam is directed from the mirror J and the mirror J4 on to the screen H2. In a first modification, three mirrors-one fixed and two mounted for rotation about a common axis-are provided in a projection compartment containing two screens. A second modification is described in which a fixed horizontal mirror and a second mirror, rotatable about a horizontal axis, provide images on either of two screens. A third modification is described in which the image is viewed in a plane normal to the telescope axis and image inversion is obtained by a pair of prisms as in prismatic binoculars.
