Filed: 1946-10-02
Abstract: 619,151. Discharge apparatus. PHILIPS LAMPS, Ltd. Oct. 2, 1946, No. 29423. Convention date, Oct. 6, 1945. [Class 39 (i)] In discharge apparatus such as cathode-ray tubes, velocity-modulation tubes, cyclotrons and mass spectrographs in which a beam of charged particles may be required to traverse a curved path, the said beam 1 is passed between two electrodes 2 and 3 which both curve in the same direction (Fig. 1). Instead of being parallel, in which case a parallel beam is always focused after a rotation of 63.5 degrees, these electrodes are arranged to converge or diverge, to provide variations of the rotational angle required for focusing, and to prevent the beam impinging on the electrodes. In a modification (Fig. 2), each electrode 2, 3 is divided into two parts 5, 6 and 7, 8, each part being the image of the other in the plane V. The two parts may or may not be connected, and in the latter case, one part may be used for ordinary deflection of the beam.

[Also in Group XXX] In apparatus for unpacking regularly arranged articles from cases, a case is automatically centred beneath a head having a series of article-holding devices which are regularly arranged in conformity with the regular arrangement of the articles in the case, the head is lowered to position the devices over the corresponding articles and the devices are caused to grip the articles, the head is then raised to lift the articles simultaneously from the' case, whereupon a transfer table is moved to a horizontal position beneath the articles supported by the devices and the devices are then caused to deposit the articles on the transfer table which is then retracted to move the articles from beneath the head. The apparatus which is mounted on a base 10 is driven from the power shafts 16 and 18 of a motor 14. Cases are fed from a belt 37 on a roller conveyer 35 on to a stationary receiving plate 30 against an adjustable gauge bar 40 and are centred beneath the head 650 by means of a centring device 45 comprising a horizontally slidable bar 43 supporting pads 46 and adjustable by a pneumatic ram 53 operated by a cam 56 on a shaft 18. A safety device incorporating an L-shaped detent 61 cuts out the driving motor should a case lag and be misaligned. The gripping chucks 90 are adjusted in two directions at right angles to conform to the arrangement of bottles in the case and are then lowered open by chains operated by a rack 81, cam 83 and wheel 84 on the shaft 18. The chucks are operated pneumatically to close and open by means. of a cam 110 on the shaft 19 which operates a switch 109 to supply air to the air cylinder. The chucks are elevated through a gap 116 above table level. A stripper table 120 operated by a rack 122 through gearing and a cam 130 on the main shaft 18 is moved along horizontal bars 117 below the chucks. The cam 110 releases the gripping jaws depositing the bottles on the stripper plate which moves over a discharge conveyer belt 136. A stripper bar 145 operated by a cam 153 on the main shaft 18 is operated to lower the bar and to strip the bottles on to the conveyer belt as the stripper plate returns. The bottles are discharged on to another conveyer. A conveyer 24 has an arm 28 which engages the empty case C and discharges it on to a shelf as soon as the bottles are clear of the case. The chucks 90 have gripping jaws which are resiliently mounted to retract should a misaligned object be contacted.

Abstract: 272,101. Lindsay, H. J. Nov. 23, 1926. Tabs.-Index tabs for index cards, letter files, or the like are pivoted near the edge of the card so that they are exposed when in a vertical position and are concealed by turning them into a horizontal position, retaining means being provided to hold them in their set position. The tab 1, Figs. 1 and 4, which is made of celluloid or the like, is of bell-crank formation with a hole 3 for an eyelet 2 by which it is pivoted to the index card. A radial slot 7 in the tab receives a slidable guide pin 8, which also engages within a curved slot 4 in the card, concentric with the eyelet 2. The upper and lower ends of the slot 4 are respectively provided with inwardly and outwardly directed extensions 5, 6 to receive the guide pin 8 to retain the card in either its retracted or exposed position, the guide pin being moved before the tab can be swung round. In a modification the tab is formed on a pivoted rectangular plate upon which erasable memoranda may be written, the radial slot for the guide pin being provided in the plate. In another modification, Fig. 8, the tab is pivoted on one side of the card and passed through an arcuate slot 9 therein, the flexing of the tab providing sufficient frictional resistance to retain it in a set position. In another modification, Fig. 9, a tab 1 of bell-crank shape has a slot slidably engaging a pivot 2 fixed on the card. A pin 12 on the lower end of the tab engages within a vertical slot 13 in the card, so that the lower end of the tab is guided vertically upwards when the other end is swung horizontally.
