Filed: 1919-03-12
Abstract: 139,893. Arc & General Equipment, Ltd., and Jones, A. Denman-. March 12, 1919. Rope grips.-Comprises a rope grip in which (1) a hand-lever first tightens the jaws on the rope, (2) the grip on the rope is increased by the load acting on an auxiliary lever, which may, however, be moved backwards without slackening the grip, and (3) the jaws may be completely released by the hand-lever. The jaws A are pivoted on a bolt B, and each carries a nut G pivoted on trunnions H and operated by screws E, F mounted on a common shaft D. The hand-lever P and screw F are fixed on the shaft, while the screw E is separately coupled to the shaft D and to the load-actuated lever L by lost-motion devices K, R respectively, so that (1) the hand-lever can rotate the sciew F, but not the screw E, to close the jaws, (2) the load lever can rotate the screw E to tighten the grip, but cannot rotate it in the opposite direction, and (3) the hand-lever can rotate both screws to release the grip. The grip may be automatically released by an arm V striking a stop. A pawl M is pivoted on the bolt B to engage with teeth on the screw F, so that when the load lever L is tightened, a projection N thereon locks the pawl against the teeth on the screw and prevents the release of the grip until the load lever is returned to its free position, as by the load overrunning the grip.

IPC: G06V30/224
Filed: 1964-02-17
Abstract: 993,108. Automatic character reading. DE STAAT DER NEDERLANDEN TEN DEZE VERTEGENWOORDIGD DOOR DE DIRECTEUR-GENERAAL DER POSTERIJEN TELEGRAFIE EN TELEFONIE. Feb. 17, 1964 [Feb. 22, 1963], No. 6440/64. Heading G4R. Characters for automatic reading are formed as shown in Fig. 3, with vertical lines in three columns and 3 rows which are to be scanned in horizontal movement past an array of sensing devices, the lengths of the vertical lines being less than a third of the total height and being connected, to make the character legible, by sloping lines. The vertical lines are shortened to avoid ambiquities in the sensing by preventing the upper end of one line and the lower end of a line belonging to the row above being both detected. The sloping lines are detected during scanning but are distinguished from the vertical lines by the slower rise time of the signal produced. Scanning is by an array of photo-cells f1-f2 Fig. 5, arranged in three columns and seven rows. The photo-cells are connected to A.C. amplifiers responding to the steep fronted pulse derived from a vertical line to set a trigger. The character, depending on its position, sets triggers in three rows. The arrival of the character in the correct horizontal position is indicated by gate C6 responding to signals in the first and third columns. Rows of triggers are gated together in spaced pairs in gates C1-C5, the gate responding indicating the position of the signal pattern in the array of triggers. The triggers are interconnected so that the pattern can be shifted vertically. If one of the gates C2-C5 and gate C6 produce a signal circuit I responds by starting a shift-pulse generator G which shifts the pattern downwardly until gate C1 responds, indicating that the pattern is now correctly positioned in the bottom three rows of triggers. The signal from gate C1 stops the generator G and the recognition circuit CO responds to the nine signals from the triggers of threse three rows to produce an indication on an appropriate one of ten leads. The vertical lines form a self-checking combination there being always say four lines in the nine possible positions. Specifications 916, 157, 958, 756, and 962,509 are referred to.

Title: Improvements in or relating to acetylene generating devices
IPC: C10H9/00
Filed: 1947-03-08
Abstract: <PICT:0637929/IV (b)/1> <PICT:0637929/IV (b)/2> <PICT:0637929/IV (b)/3> An acetylene generator of the type wherein acetylene is generated through contact of the carbide with water and comprising a water recipient, a generating vessel in communication in its lower end with said water recipient, a perforated support in said generating vessel on which the carbide reacts when contacting the water, a removable carbide storage container arranged within said generating vessel above the water level and turnable about a horizontal axis by means operated from the exterior, the carbide storage container includes a delivery passage normally directed upwards and arranged so that only part of the carbide in said container falls on to the perforated plate when it is turned, while the pressure of the gas generated forces the water away from the carbide on the perforated support as soon as over-production takes place.  The delivery passage may have an adjustable aperture, e.g. by means of a valve slidable inside and along the delivery passage.  The storage container may be integral with a horizontal axle projecting through the wall of the generator and can be actuated from the outside thereof, e.g., by means of a crank for manual operation, or by means of a gear mechanism fitted to said crank and means responsive to the pressure inside the generating vessel for actuating said gear.  The gear may be operated by means of an open tank above the generator which communicates at its lower part with the lower part of the generator, and a float in said water tank connects with said gear by means of rods to turn the carbide container in accordance with the pressure within the generating vessel.  In Fig. 1, the carbide container 2 turns on axle 3 inside inner vessel 1. The carbide receiver 4 contains perforated plates 5 and 6 on which the carbide reacts and forces the water back into the outer casing 7. The container 2 is provided with aperture 15 having an upwardly-directed inner delivery passage mounted thereupon.  The area of the opening 15 may be adjusted by way of a slidable valve 17.  The carbide container may be turned by hand to allow carbide contained in the delivery passage from opening 15 to fall out onto the perforated plate.  In Fig. 2, the lower part of the generating chamber 1 is connected to water tank 24 located at a height to determine the required pressure.  A float 25 is connected to a water level gauge to determine when fresh carbide should be dropped on to the perforated plate.  In Fig. 3, the float is connected by rods to the axle of the carbide container and turns the container as the water level falls when the pressure within the generator falls.
