Title: Improvements in and connected with terminal and coupling devices for electric conductors
IPC: H01R9/24
Filed: 1930-07-05
Abstract: 358,111. Binding-posts. STONE & CO., Ltd., J., Deptford, London, and HONEY, A. E., 31, Seymour Gardens, Ilford, Essex. July 5, 1930, No. 20430. [Class 38 (i).] A terminal and coupling device for electrical conductors comprises spaced terminal blocks provided with means for attaching conductors, and releasable coupling members disposed between the ends of adjacent blocks. Each terminal block is composed of two bars 1, 2 having V-shaped notches 7 enabling the bars to be clamped to insulating sleeves 3 on transverse bars 4 bv means of bolts 12 and nuts 13. The upper end of the bolt 12 serves as a binding-post for a conductor and is fitted with two dished washers 30, 31 pressed together by a hollow nut 32 and a compression spring 33. A split pin 34 keeps the nut 32 in position. For connecting a number of terminal blocks in series the upper bar 1 is made to overlap the lower bar 2 at one end leaving the bar 2 projecting at the other end. The projecting upper ends of the bars 1 are provided with recesses through which pass a clamping bolt 22 which also passes through a hole in the projecting end of the bar 2. The bolt 22 has a collar 21 for electrically connecting the terminal blocks and an insulating sleeve 20. A compression spring 18, sliding in an integral cylindrical housing on the bar 2, tends to pull the bolt 22 downwards against the action of a wing nut 23, and thus breaks the electrical connection when the nut 23 is unscrewed. The lower bar 2 has a terminal lug 9 and binding screw 10 for the attachment of a conductor. Instead of using a wing nut, the bolt 22 may be raised into the connecting position by means of a cam and lever mounted on the bolt 22 and pressing on the top surfaces of the bars 1. The terminals may be jointed by fuses 28 having connecting lugs 29. A complete terminal box for use on a railway coach, comprising a number of parallel sets of terminal blocks and associated conductors is described, Figs. 3 and 4 (not shown).

Title: An improved method of registering the sheets in rotary sheet printing presses
IPC: B41F21/05
Filed: 1932-07-21
Abstract: 392,016. Feeding sheets. DRESDENLEIPZIGER SCHNELLPRESSENFABRIK AKT.-GES., Coswig, and LIEBUSCH, M., 18, Carolastrasse, Kotschenbroda, both in Saxony, Germany. July 21, 1932, No. 20650. Convention date, April 19. [Class 100 (i).] Sheets are fed from a feed table 6 to the impression cylinder 12 of a rotary printing- machine by means which accelerate the sheet during its withdrawal from the front stops 7 to a speed greater than that of the cylinder 12 so as to permit of greater time for registration of the sheets. To lengthen the path of the sheet between the table 6 and the cylinder 12, the table 6 is arranged at a higher altitude than is usual. In one form, Fig. 1, the sheets are fed by oscillating grippers 3 to grippers 1 mounted freely on an arm 9 carried on the axis of a transfer cylinder 2. The arm 9 is accelerated relatively to the cylinder 2 after it has gripped the sheet, and it is finally retarded to the speed of the grippers 11 of the impression cylinder 12 at the time of transfer of the sheet - to the grippers 4. In a modification the grippers 1 are mounted on a cylinder 13, Fig. 4, of greater diameter than the cylinder 12, and the gripper cylinder is driven at variable speed so as to accelerate the sheet after it is gripped and to slow down to the speed of the cylinder 12 at the time of sheet transfer. In a further modification a feed cylinder 13 moves at a constant speed greater than that of the cylinder 12, and a freely mounted gripper arm thereon is moved reversely relatively to the cylinder 13 after the sheet is withdrawn from the stops 7 so as to cause the grippers 11, 1 to move at the same speed at the time of transfer.

Abstract: 1395943 Weighing HOBART CORP 3 May 1972 [3 May 1971] 20660/72 Heading G4H A weighing scale includes an optical chart 20 positioned in accordance with the weight, carrying indicia which are optically projected on screens visible to a customer and scale operator respectively, and machine recognizable indicia which are optically projected on to an array of photoresistors 50 to provide a biquenial cored representation of the weight. Price per unit weight is entered serially on a manual keyboard 60 and multiplied with the weight to give total cost. Means are provided to retain the price per unit information until a new unit price entry is made. The price per unit weight and total cost are both displayed on the front and the back of the scale. The price per unit weight is converted into pulse length modulated signals representing decimal digits which control gates passing pulses from counters clocked at a rate dependent on the unit weight, through cycles dependent on the weight whereby the count in a receiving register represents the total price. Means are provided to reset the price per unit weight indication to zero when the weight on the scale falls below a predetermined weight, and also for suppressing the total price indication when this exceeds a predetermined value, or when the scale pan is in motion.

Title: Improvements in sphygmomanometer cuff, inflatable tourniquet or the like, and methodof forming the same
IPC: A61B5/022
Filed: 1945-08-14
Abstract: 597,703. Sphygmomanometer cuffs ; tourniquets. BAUM CO., Inc., W. A. Aug. 14, 1945, No. 20942. Convention date, Sept. 16, 1944. [Class 81 (ii)] A sphygmomanometer cuff, tourniquet or the like comprises a closed loop of flexible fabric enclosing an inflatable bag and through which a limb may be inserted, said loop being adapted to be gathered upon itself, and fastening means to secure upon itself the gathered loop. The loop may be formed from a single strip of fabric 13 (Fig. 3), by cutting notches 14, 14<1>, 14<11> in each end, folding from opposite sides along lines between the outer notches with the outer edges 16 further folded under as at 17, bringing the two ends of the strip together, turning the ends 18, 19 in on themselves and sewing transversely as at 23 (Fig. 2). Before closing this loop, parallel stitchings 20 are made transversely, forming pockets 21, and an inflatable bag 34 is attached on the inside of the loop by fabric covering 35. The bag 34 has hose connections 36, 37 for a pressure gauge and pumping bulb. U-shaped hooks 24 are inserted in the loop ends 18, 19 and retained by stitching 26 and lugs 28 on the hooks: The strip ends are further stitched or secured along line 29 and forms flaps 27. The loop is made of such a size that portions 31 are slack and can be gathered and folded over an ungathered portion and retained by insertion of legs 33 of hooks 24 in pockets 21 if necessary in staggered relation with each other. A modified form of the device uses a strip 13 of half the width and providing a single hook and single series of pockets. An alternative method of construction is to take an unfolded strip of material, stitch narrow strips of material thereto on one side thereof, stitch transversely to form a series of pockets and attach the inflatable bag on the other side thereof. Folded-over reinforcing tape may be secured to the edges by the strips 1. The device may be formed similarly by attaching only one narrow strip on a narrower main strip and using a single hook.

Abstract: 1474234 Protective arrangements WESTINGHOUSE ELECTRIC CORP 13 May 1974 [29 May 1973] 21059/74 Heading H2K A circuit for protecting a section of one of a plurality of power transmission lines having first and second ends connected to and energized by station buses B comprises a fault detector FD1 for detecting a flow of fault power into the section of line at the first end and an intelligence handling network, Fig. 2B, not shown, for receiving signals from associated intelligence handling networks in other sections of line to provide an output signal when fault current flows into the section of line at the second end, this output signal being fed via terminal 44 to one of the inputs of an OR-network 04 and to one of the inputs of an AND-network A5 in a breaker tripping network via a timer circuit TD3, the other input of the OR-network being connected to the fault detector via another timer circuit TD1, and the output of the OR- network being connected via a further timer circuit TD2 to the AND-network of the breaker tripping network. In the event of a fault in this section of line the fault detector produces a logic 1 signal and so does the intelligence handling network so that the logic and timing circuits cause the tripping network to produce a signal after a predetermined delay to trip the tripping network to produce a signal after a predetermined delay to trip the circuit breaker 18. In the event of the fault detector detecting a fault but the inteligence handling network indicating the fault to be in another section of the line the logic and timing circuits do not allow a trip signal to be sent to the circuit breaker before the circuit breakers in the faulty section have operated to isolate the fault, thus effectively preventing operation of the circuit breakers 18 in this section of line. A fault detector FD2 is capable of providing an immediate trip signal to open the circuit breaker independently of the logic and timing circuits in case of very high overloads.
