Title: Printing unit for applying a permutation code
IPC: B26D5/08
Filed: 1969-03-03
Abstract: 1,212,649. Selective printing. TELEFUNKEN PATENTVERWERTUNGS G.m.b.H. 3 March, 1969 [2 March, 1968], No. 11142/69. Heading B6F. Each selection member for a spring loaded printing plunger 1 (Figs. 1 to 3) of a postal code printer includes a hook 15 pivotally mounted to a sleeve 9 for electromagnetic selection either into alignment with the rear end of the plunger 1, Fig. 5, or out of alignment (Fig. 4). The sleeve 9 is mounted in a guide member comprising spaced plates (7 and 8) for movement therewith and relative thereto against the force of a spring (10). The guide member is displaced, within each printing cycle, into a rear selection position (Fig. 1) and then into a front working position (Fig. 3), by known means, for example a cam. A slide 6 is mounted in the sleeve 9 for longitudinal displacement to a front or rear position to pivot the hook 15 out of or into alignment with the printing plunger, via a two armed lever 17 pivoted at 19 to the sleeve 9, and a spring 18 forming a bi-stable trigger mechanism. The rear end of the slide 6 forms the armature (6<SP>11</SP>) of an electromagnet (21) fixed in a plate behind the guide member. With movement of the guide member (i.e. plates 7 and 8) into the selection position (Fig. 1), all the slides 6 are brought into their front position due to their armatures (6<SP>11</SP>) striking against their associated electromagnets, thereby moving all the hooks 15 out of alignment with their respective printing plungers. As the guide member advances into its working position, the slides 6 associated with the selectively energized electromagnets (21) will have their armatures retained, thereby moving their respective hooks 15 into alignment with their respective printing plungers 1. Continued movement of the guide member will cause these selected plungers to print. Impression adjustments.-During the printing operation, the rear face of the head 6<SP>1</SP> of each slide 6 bears against the end of the rear bore in the sleeve 9. However, the sleeve 9 and hence the hook 15 and the printing plunger 1, can withdraw in relation to the plates (7 and 8) of the guide member, against the action of the spring (10, Fig. 3), thereby compensating for irregularities in the postal package (5). Heating arrangements for types.-The guide plate (2, Fig. 1) for the printing plungers (1) may contain a cavity in which a heating element is accommodated.

Title: Improvements in or relating to a method of manufacturing tiles surfaced with a granular material
Inventor: WILSON JOHN MILLAR
IPC: B28B7/36
Filed: 1958-04-09
Abstract: 911,224. Making tiles. WILSON'S CAVICRETE Ltd. April 9, 1959 [April 9, 1958; May 7, 1958; Sept. 17, 1958], Nos. 11152/58, 14569/58 and 29710/58. Class 87(2). A tile, comprising a plate-like body of a moulded setting material having on its surface a veneer of a granular material, is made by applying lubricant to a flat plate 11, applying the wet mix 16 to the approximate desired tile thickness over the oil, levelling or squaring the mix following the edge of the plate, and throwing granular material on the upper surface of the mix 16. Preferably a rubber sheet 12 with an uneven under surface is first laid on the plate 11. The sheet 12 also has recesses 14 on its top surface to produce studs on the underface of the tile. After the edges 17 of the mix 16 have been bevelled by a trowel, wet granular material is thrown on its surface, followed by dug granular material which draws out moisture and stiffens the layers. The surface is then grooved by applying blades 23, the grooves being given a divergent section by first covering the surface with a cloth 22. Full penetration is prevented by a stop. The tile is hardened, preferably by steam jets, and the rubber sheet is stripped and surplus granular material brushed off. Dyes may be incorporated in the granular or setting material, or in both. The tiles may be cast on curved plates. Specifications 911,225 and 911,226 are referred to.
