Title: Improvements in or relating to hectographic duplicating machines
Inventor: BROWN ROLAND
IPC: B41L11/00
Filed: 1962-04-16
Abstract: 1,046,611. Duplicating machines. BLOCK & ANDERSON Ltd. July 16, 1963 [April 16, 1962], No. 14680/62. Heading B6C. In a hectograph or like duplicating machine, the clip 11 for securing the leading edge of the master sheet S to the printing drum 10 is divided intermediate its ends into at least two parts which can be opened and closed in succession by a single control member. One part of the clip may be used for holding a masking sheet. As shown, the clip is divided into five parts 13a ... 13e all pivoted on a rod 14 carried by an L-shaped coacting part 12 of the clip fixed to the cylinder. Each part 13a ...13e has a tail 15 attached to a closing spring 16 and engaging individual cams on a member 17 extending lengthwise of the cylinder. The cams are so shaped that rotation of the member 17 from the closed position first causes the clip parts 13d, 13e to open, e.g. to release one sheet, and then subsequently causes the opening of the parts 13a, 13c to release another sheet. Closure of the parts occurs in the reverse order. To operate the member 17, an arm 18 is attached to one end thereof, and a pin 19 on the arm engages a radical slot 23 in a disc 24 mounted by pin-and-slot connections 25 on one end of the cylinder 10 so as to be capable of limited relative rotary movement. A pin 26 on the disc 24 is engaged by a surface 31 on a link 28 operated by an arm 29 when the cylinder 10 is in position for replacement of the master and masking sheets, so that the disc 24 is rotated relatively to the cylinder and the clip 11 is opened. The number of parts of the clips which may be opened successively may be more than two, and the member 17 may be shaped so that it opens the clips parts successively as already described, or simultaneously according to the direction in which it is rotated. Instead of opening all the clips simultaneously when rotated in a reverse direction, the member 17 may be shaped so as to open and close each clip part in turn during such rotation.

Title: Apparatus for removing the stones of dates
IPC: A23N4/08
Filed: 1949-06-02
Abstract: 664,500. Stoning dates. ASFAR, C. A. June 2, 1949 [June 23, 1948], No. 14922/48. Class 28 (ii). Dates D, each placed by hand in a recess 53, Fig. 5 of a step-by-step chain conveyer 47 are stoned by the gripper points of blades. 64, 65, Fig. 6, which are automatically pushed into the end of a date the points first spreading out in parallelism to clear and loosen the stone S then moving in to grip the stone which is then pulled out. The blades then open to release the stone which is swept away by a revolving brush 106, Fig. 2 (not shown). Each date is held down in its conveyer recess during extraction by a pressure shoe 96 depressed in 'timed relation through a cam 99, Fig: 7. The separation of the blades is obtained by a rotated cam 81 which pivots the blade 65 outwards against the resistance of a spring pressed guide roller 75 which afterwards presses in the blade 65 to grip the stone against the other parallel moving blade 64 guided by rollers 70. Both blades 64 and 65 are reciprocated to and from the date by a disc 83, with crack 85 to a crosshead. 68 to -which the blades are attached. The endless chain conveyer is moved step by step through a ratchet. and pawl 29, 44, Fig. 2 (not shown). The chain conveyer is prevented from sagging at the feed and stoning stations F and P by a platform 36, Fig. 1. The gripper blades 64, 65 are wetted from a water or steam nozzle to assist in the 'cleaning action of the brush on the blades. In a modification, Figs. 8 and 9 (not shown), both gripper blades move apart and then together by cam and spring action to grip the stone. Instead of the date, D being held down in the conveyer recess during stoning by the pressure shoe 96, it may be held down by a pair of scissor-like fingers 164, Fig. 15, which move, down to straddle the date and then cut into the flesh as in Fig. 16 to locate the stone accurately in position for the stone grippers to act. To prevent the stoned date adhering to the fingers 164 as they rise up, other pivoted fingers 169 first hold it down for a sufficient period and then pivot up and out to release it. Slots 181 and 122 are provided, in the date holder 47' which may be mounted on conveyer chains 180 or on a stepby-step rotated disc. The stoned dates may be removed by a positively actuated finger (not described or shown). When the stone has been extracted it is brushed out from between the grippers by a revolving brush 106 and strikes against an inclined deflector 155, Fig. 10 (not shown), moved into position to direct the stones downward where a conveyer may be provided to carry them away.

Title: Binding strap
IPC: B29C48/08
Filed: 1978-04-17
Abstract: The binding tape is a laminated article (10) made of an oriented, crystalline, synthetic thermoplastic polymer. The laminated article consists of a base layer (11) of the polymer with a relatively lower average molecular weight and of a layer (12) of the same polymer but with a relatively higher average molecular weight. The latter layer is thinner than the base layer. The thinner layer can therefore be easily melted and forms the weldable side of the laminated article (10). All layers of the article have substantially the same planar crystalline orientation. The binding tape is intended as a material for tying packages. It is intended for those tying machines or joining devices in which the binding tape is melted by friction. <IMAGE>
