Title: Apparatus for cutting, pasting and sticking-on strips of wall paper
IPC: B44C7/02
Filed: 1937-10-06
Abstract: 494,053. Paperhangers' machines. ARNOLD, O. Oct. 6, 1937, No. 27051. Convention date, Oct. 6, 1936. [Class 20 (ii)] A machine for cutting, pasting, and applying wallpaper, has the spindle 13 carrying the roll of paper freely rotatable and axially slidable, so that the roll may readily take up any axial position necessary in order that the unwound paper may be guided smoothly between adjustable stops 19 on one of a series of guide rollers 16, 17, 18 over which the paper passes on its way to the cutting and pasting positions. The spindle 13 may be supported on balls or rollers 12, between vertical rollers 15, or may be supported by balls 27, Fig. 3, which are so spaced as to allow the spindle to be introduced into the bearing, while at the same time preventing displacement of the spindle in the direction in which the paper is unwound. In a modification, the bearings for the spindle 13 may be easily oscillated in a direction axially of the spindle. Excessive axial displacement of the roll of paper may be prevented by adjustable arms 26 secured to a bar 25 coupling side plates 10 which carry the bearings for the various guide rollers, and which are themselves supported by bars 9 connected to the base 2 of the machine. The paper passes from the guide roller 18 over a roller 4 where it is trimmed by a cutting roll 20 adjustably mounted on a bar 23 which serves also as a folding bar for obtaining a straight leading edge on the paper, perpendicular to the side edges thereof. The trimmed paper passes between the rollers 4, 5 and over the roller 6 on to which paste is fed from a trough 8 by a roller 7, the rollers 7, 6 having sponge rubber &c. surfaces. The Specification as open to inspection under Sect. 91 states that the side-plates 1 which carry the bearings for the rollers support also a guide roller 29 and a pivoted frame 30 provided with a further guide roller 31, the strip being pulled out of the machine in the direction a for floor work, in the direction b for vertical surfaces, in the direction c for ceilings, and in the direction d for vertical surfaces wherein it is necessary to reverse the paper to get the pattern correctly displayed. Adjustable pointed stops 33 on a bar 34 may be fitted so that the machine may be correctly positioned by setting one of the stops 33 against the edge of the pattern on a previously pasted strip and then moving the machine so that both stops contact with the wall. This subject-matter does not appear in the Specification as accepted.

Abstract: 1,046,206. Cathode-ray tube circuits. RANK ORGANIZATION Ltd. July 16, 1965 [July 2, 1964], No. 27393/64. Heading H4T. In a cathode-ray tube symbol display arrangement of the kind in which the symbols are produced by the impingement on the tube screen of a plurality of electron beams selectively controlled by a matrix forming part of the tube gun so that each symbol is made up of a number of simultaneously produced individual dots, uniformity of dot brightness is enhanced by switching " ON " the electron beams with maximum permissible beam current for a fraction of a character cycle, i.e. for a fraction of the period during which the deflection means directs the beams to a given screen position, before " stepping-on " to the next character position. Fig. 1 shows one embodiment in which the beam current is controlled by the matrix drive amplifiers which are only energized for a short period by means of a four microsecond width pulse t derived from the timing input signals. In a second embodiment (Fig. 2, not shown) the matrix amplifiers are permanently energized and the beam current controlled by applying the pulse t, in inverted polarity, to the tube cathode. The brightness may also be controlled by varying the width of the pulses t.

Title: Improvements relating to devices for tying thread ends
IPC: B65H69/04
Filed: 1956-09-07
Abstract: 799,171. Knot-tying devices. ZELLWEGER, Ltd., USTER FACTORIES FOR APPARATUS & MACHINES. Sept. 7, 1956 [Sept. 23, 1955], No. 27487/56. Class 112 A knotting device comprises a carrier 2 pivoted at 5 to a frame provided with a handle 33 and strap 34. A toothed quadrant 18 is pivoted at 17 on the carrier and meshes with a pinion 3 to drive a knotting bill 1 rotatably mounted in the carrier. A spring 6 acts on the quadrant, to bias a shoulder 7 on the carrier against a shoulder 8 on the frame, when a trigger 20 on the quadrant abuts a shoulders 27 on a slide 24 to hold the latter against the bias of a spring 26 for aligning a pair of thread slots in the slide with a complementary pair of slots in a flange 23 of the frame. Threads 35, 36 are laid in said aligned slots, and their respective ends 32, 37 are laid respectively in slots 9, 10 in the carrier, slot 10 turning downwardly so as to position end 37 between a fixed blade 12 and a blade 11 pivoted at 15 to the carrier. A tongue 28, slidably mounted on the carrier, has a lateral extension 29 carrying a pin 30 disposed in a cam slot 30 formed in the quadrant. Initial turning of the latter allows spring 26 to move slide 24 for clamping the threads. Tongue 28 then moves to carry end 32 out of the range of movement of the knotting bill. When the quadrant has turned sufficiently to form the knot, a pin 21 on the quadrant engages a shoulder 22 on the frame, and further turning causes pin 21 to slide on shoulder 22 and the carrier to turn counterclockwise about its pivot 5. An abutment 13 on the frame thereupon moves blade 11 to sever and clamp end 37. Near the end of the turning movement of the quadrant tongue 28 moves out of engagement with end 32, whereby the latter is engaged and severed by the knotting bill. On release of the trigger the carrier returns to its original position and blade 11 is opened by engagement with an abutment 14. It is stated that by holding end 32 away from the knotting bill, at least one additional loop can be formed in the knot to prevent untying of the latter with springy yarns.

An hydraulic coupling comprises fluid passages 88 which are adjacent the inner periphery of the fluid circuit formed by the impeller and turbine members 18, 22 of the coupling and, when the speed of the turbine falls below a predetermined value, pass fluid from the circuit to a reservoir 70 outside the fluid circuit. In the embodiment shown in Fig. 1, a baffle 86 is secured to the turbine member 22 and consists of a ring or plurality of spaced segments which, when the coupling is operating at design load conditions, is out of the path 92 of the fluid. During overload conditions, the fluid moves in a path 94 and impinges against the baffle, the fluid then being defleeted to pass through the discharge passages 88 into the reservoir 70. The fluid in the reservoir is rotated at substantially the same speed as the coupling by vanes 80 and the amount of fluid in the coupling is controlled by a radially-adjustable scoop tube 82. End thrust between the impeller and turbine members may be taken-up by a thrust collar 34. The discharge passages may be inclined to the axis of the coupling, formed as bores in bolts securing the turbine member to the driven shaft, or be connected to the interior of the coupling by grooves in the baffle. In further embodiments, the passages are formed by radially-disposed tubes 335, Fig. 4. The impeller may be formed with a lip 327 which deflects the liquid into a chamber 325 connected to the reservoir by passages 331.
