Title: A retention system
Inventor: HEATH RICHARD ANTHONY
IPC: B60P7/08
Filed: 2009-08-15
Abstract: A retention system 10 comprises at least one elongate channel member 12 and one or more clips 14. The channel member defines an internal channel 22 and has a longitudinal slot 24 providing access to the channel. Each clip has an engagement portion for location in the channel and an external attachment portion connected to the engagement portion by a neck which passes through the slot. The engagement portion is shaped such that in one angular orientation it is able to pass through the longitudinal slot and such that once inserted it can be moved to another angular orientation in which it is unable to pass through the longitudinal slot. At least part of the clip 14 which contacts the channel member 12 once inserted comprises a friction material adapted so that contact between the material and the channel member resists longitudinal movement of the clip along the channel member. The retention system 10 is particularly adapted for use as a luggage retention system for the luggage compartment of a vehicle.

Title: Improvements in or relating to the manufacture of sliding clasp fasteners
IPC: B21D53/50
Filed: 1948-04-12
Abstract: 642,802. Making sliding-clasp fastenings; shearing; stamping and embossing. MARLOW, E. H. April 12, 1948, No. 10095. [Classes 83 (ii) and 83 (iv)] Relates to a method of, and apparatus for, the formation from strip material of sliding clasp fastener elements by punching and swaging operations which produce recesses in the faces of the fastener elements adapted to interlock with nipples produced on their opposite faces, and consists in performing such swaging and forming operations as tend to alter the length of the strip 12 one after another while the strip is held at rest by gripping means 113 located beyond the first of such operations, the second or subsequent operations being conducted at a position or positions located successively further from the gripping means so that any alteration of the length of the strip produced by these operations moves the strip backwards, and thereafter feeding the material forward one step, after which the operations are repeated. With the strip 12 held by a work-holding pad 35, recessed to accommodate the nipples 56, the following sequence of operations occurs: (a) a punch 32 is actuated by a lever 38 to form a hole 96, the waste falling into a shoot 133; (b) a swaging punch 40 and embossing punch 50 are actuated to form a nipple 56; (c) two side-punches 71 are actuated simultaneously by a single pushrod and bell-crank levers to form the notches 72, 73; and (d) a punch 90 forms the top notch 91. During this time, a punch 25 spreads the legs. 97 of the end element of the strip against the sides of a recess 121 in a rod 23. This element in the recess 121 is then sheared off against a block 120 by upward movement of the rod 23, and is pushed on to the tape 24 by a spring-operated transfer rod 125 and clamped thereon by lateral punches which are described in Specification 642,804, [Group XXV]. With the tools 32, 40, 50, 72, 73 and 90 still in position as shown in Fig. 1, the clamp 113 surrounding the strip is raised, and a feed table 100 is swung back by a spring 109 by a distance equal to the length of one element. The clamp 113 then descends, the punch 32 is raised and stripped by a block 33, the pad 35 is raised, the tools 40, 50, &c. are withdrawn, and the table 100 and strip 12 are moved forward. Another cycle then commences. All the members are actuated by push-rods controlled by cams. Specification 642,803, [Group XXV], also is referred to.

Title: Improvements in or relating to circuit arrangements for amplifying or mixing incoming signals
IPC: H04N5/44
Filed: 1959-03-24
Abstract: 895,648. Radio receiving circuits. PHILIPS ELECTRICAL INDUSTRIES Ltd. March 24, 1959 [March 27, 1958], No. 10169/59. Classes 40(5) and 40(6).  A high-frequency valve-as shown, a frequency-changer 1-is biased by grid-current, a grid leak and condenser combination 9, 10 being provided between the input transformer winding 3 and the cathode of the valve. Local oscillations are fed in via a winding 7. It is common in such an arrangement, in a television turret tuner, to restrict the value of the condenser 9 so that alignment signals may be injected across it, but this suffers the disadvantage that in normal operation a burst of interference can readily charge up the condenser 9 and paralyse the valve 1. According to the invention this is prevented by connecting across condenser 9 a further condenser 14 of much larger value, in series with an H.F. choke 13.

Title: Improvements in or relating to apparatus for comparing the natural frequency of a mechanical oscillatory system with a standard frequency
IPC: G04D7/12
Filed: 1943-06-30
Abstract: 573,989. Testing balances of watches &c. SMITH & SONS (ENGLAND), Ltd., S., [formerly SMITH & SONS (MOTOR ACCESSORIES), Ltd., S.], and MEREDITH, F. W. June 30, 1943, No. 10648. [Class 139] [Also in Group XIX] An apparatus for comparing the natural frequency of mechanical oscillatory systems with a standard frequency comprises means for forcing the system to oscillate at the standard frequency and means for detecting or indicating the phase displacement between the forced oscillations and those of the force producing them. As shown applied to the testing of hairsprings and balance wheels for watches and clocks, the apparatus comprises a vibratory table 10, Fig. 1, mounted on a stand 11 and forced into oscillation by a master balance wheel 12 and a spring 13 having a natural frequency equal to the standard frequency. The mass of the table is such that its amplitude is small compared with that of the wheel 12. The oscillations of the wheel are maintained constant by a pair of electromagnets 14, 15 energized on the rise and fall of the wheel during oscillation. The table has supported thereon a standard hairspring and balance wheel 7 and one or more balance wheels and spring 24, 25 to be tested. To illuminate the table, a beam of light is directed from a lamp 17 through an aperture 18 in the master wheel 12 to a photo-electric cell 20. A shutter 21 operates to close the aperture alternate half-cycles so that the light passes once per cycle and the resulting impulse is amplified by an amplifier 22 to flash a neon lamp 123 once per cycle. A phase-adjusting means 23 may be provided to adjust the flashes to illuminate the table at any desired point of the cycle ; alternatively, the lamp 7 may be adjustably secured to the table 10 by a support 6. An adjustable holder for the balance 24 and spring 25 to be tested is shown in Fig. 6 and comprises a supporting plug 54 rotatable in a sleeve 56 itself rotatable in a bracket 58 with a supporting pillar 59. To adjust the periodicity of the balance wheel 24, the effective length'of the spring is arranged to be gripped between a roller 60 on an arm 61 attached to the plug 54 and a roller 62 secured to a shaft 63 having a pinion 64 engaging an arcuate rack 67 on the .sleeve 56. In an alternative form of construction, a number of balance wheels and springs are mounted individually on small oscillating tables driven in synchronism by an oscillating frame from an electric motor.
