Title: Improvements in a combination for lashing a load
Inventor: PRAGNELL JOHN JAMES MUIR
IPC: B65D63/16
Filed: 1963-12-30
Abstract: 1,109,098. Strap fastenings. IRVING AIR CHUTE OF GREAT BRITAIN Ltd. 23 Dec., 1964 [30 Dec., 1963], No. 51172/63. Heading E2A. A combination for use in lashing a load includes several length adjustable lashing elements whose free end portions each have a loop 6, said lashing elements being directly or indirectly connecting together at points removed from the free end portions thereof, the combination including a linking element 9, the arrangement of the lashing elements 2 being such that they can be positioned around the load with the loops disposed on a surface of the load and with said linking element passing through said loops to link the free end portions of the lashing elements together, a quick release coupling being provided for interconnecting the ends of said linking element when passed through said loops. In the combination shown the lashing elements are in the form of straps and each strap 2 is connected to the edge of a carrying pallet (not shown). In addition to the straps 2 there are two additional straps 4, 5 which are longer than the straps 2 each being connected by one end portion to the pallet and their free end portions each having a loop 7; the strap 5 carries a collar 8 of the quick release coupling and a U shaped peg 11 the remaining parts of the quick release coupling being loops at the ends of the linking element which are engaged by the legs of the U shaped peg after the loops have been passed through the collar 8. The strap 4 has its loop connected to the linking element and it remains attached to the linking element since a bridging strap 12 prevents its release. The arrangement of the straps 4 and 5 is such that they extend across the area enclosed by the linking element so that tightening of the straps 4 and 5 deforms the shape formed by the linking element so as to increase the tautness of the other straps 2. Each of the straps 2, 4 and 5 is made length adjustable by means 'of a sliding bar buckle, each strap being in two parts. With the arrangement shown the peg 11 is first pulled from the loops of the linking element 9 to release the load and a single pull on the strap 4 will then pull the linking element 9 from all of the loops 6. In a modification instead of the straps 2, 4 and 5 being connected to a pallet they are connected directly together. In a further modification independent straps are used.

Abstract: 1,064,269. Typewriters. ING. C. OLIVETTI & C. S.p.A. Dec. 23, 1964 [Jan. 4, 1964], No. 52180/64. Heading B6F. A back-spacing mechanism for variable spacing typewriters having a paper carriage movable in letter-spacing direction according to a number of unit intervals corresponding to the typed letter is characterized by a memory including a disc 5 and pins 9 settable according to the spacing effected by said carriage and adapted to control means including pawl 14 and levers 16 and 24 manually operable by a backspacing key for back spacing said carriage a number of unit intervals corresponding to said set spacing. In operation on the depression of any type key or the space bar, immediately before the operation of the escapement mechanism, a lever 10 is rocked clockwise to set a first pin 9 corresponding to the beginning of the letter spacing which will be effected by the carriage. Simultaneously a plate 12 is displaced towards the disc 5 to reset any of the pins 9, the width of the plate being such that it can reset a number of pins corresponding to the maximum letter width e.g. six unit intervals. Thereafter the escapement mechanism is operated, whereby the carriage (not shown) effects a letter spacing corresponding to the number of unit intervals associated with the letter typed and a rack 8 integral with the carriage through the intermediary of a pinion 7 rotates the disc 5 clockwise and places in front of lever 10 a second pin 9 distanced from the first set pin by a number of intervals corresponding to the intervals of spacing effected by the carriage. The second pin is set on the depression of a subsequent key or space bar to mark also the beginning of a new letter or space. The various set pins represent a record of variable letter spacings effected by the carriage. To back space the carriage any number of letters or spaces a back space key is depressed a corresponding number of times whereby on each depression of said key a shaft 17 and a lever 24 fast therewith is rocked clockwise and a spring 22 urges a lever 16 to force an arcuate surface 25 of a pawl 14 to engage the set pins 9. Continued rotation of the shaft 17 pivots the pawl 14 about a pivot pin 15 thus tensioning a spring 20, which subsequently rocks the pawl clockwise whereby a notch 26 engages the last set pin 9 and the pawl returns the disc 5 anticlockwise thus back spacing the carriage through the pinion 7 and rack 8. Subsequently the levers 24, 16 and pawl 14 are restored, the carriage locked in position by the escapement mechanism and a member 27 is displaced towards the disc 5 to reset the last set pin. The plate 12 and member 27 are provided with inclined edges 13 and 29, respectively, to reset all encountered pins 9 during tabulation strokes or carriage return, said plate and member being displaced towards the disc 5, which rotates in one or the other direction during the tabulation strokes or carriage return.
