Title: Improvements in and relating to vending equipment
Inventor: BAILEY CHRISTOPHER EDMUND GERV
IPC: A47F10/00
Filed: 1960-05-02
Abstract: 924,704. Vending equipment. SOLARTRON ELECTRONIC GROUP Ltd. April 28, 1961 [May 2, 1960], No. 15425/60. Class 116. Vending equipment for installation in a supermarket comprises display units 11 for a sample, dummy, illustration, or description of each of a number of different goods to be sold, a printing device associated with each representation and having a slot 12 into which the customer inserts an order card taken from a holder 13, and presses a button (not shown) to initiate the printing on the card of a plainlanguage and coded description, e.g. binary decimal, of the article and its unit price. The card is printed in one or more of the slots 12 as required, and is then inserted in a slot 20 in a reader 21, e.g. a machine as described in Specification 850,582, to generate electrical signals which are applied to a computer-programmer 22. The latter calculates the total price of the goods indicated on the card and feeds it back to the reader 21 where it is displayed visually to the cashier and the customer. The latter pays to coin-receiving means in the computer or to the cashier who transmits an appropriate electrical signal to the computer. When the customer has paid the cashier prints a receipt mark and a serial number on the card. Electrical signals representing the serial number and the type and quantity of goods are then fed from the reader 21 via the computer programmer 22, a display device 24, and a line 25 to the input mechanism 26 of an automatic warehouse, as described in Specification 924,703. The signals effect the transfer of the appropriate goods to conveyers 30 leading to a dispatch area 31. A supervisor at the display unit 24 may operate over-ride controls, e.g. to prevent overloading of the installation, and may operate " no stock " signals at the display units 11. The printing device in a unit 11 includes means for cutting or punching the card during printing so that it may be inserted to different extents in the different slots 12 so that the orders may be printed one beneath the other. The card may be marked visually and/or magnetically. Magnetic marking may be effected in an iron oxide layer deposited on the card, or by using ferromagnetic ink.

[Also in Groups XXXV and XL (b)] In an impedance network providing direct coupling, one arm includes at least one substantially constant voltage device constituted by a gas discharge tube in series with an inductance, said one arm being shunted by a second arm including at least a capacity. As shown in Fig. 4, in a wide band direct coupled amplifier an inductance 1 of value L in series with a gas discharge tube 2 of resistance R are connected in parallel with a capacitor 3 of value C in series with a resistor 4 of value R, this network being connected between the anode of valve V1, and the control grid of valve V2, and the value R being made equal to #L/C. The gas discharge tube enables the separate grid bias supply to be dispensed with and its inclusion in a constant impedance network prevents gas tube oscillations from occurring. In some cases a constant impedance network is not required and the resistor 4 may be omitted. In a modification, Fig. 7 (not shown), suitable for use in a television transmitter modulator, the circuit is similar to Fig. 4, but includes three gas discharge tubes across which are connected a capacitor and a resistor having a variable tap taken to the control grid of the second valve, component values being given. The impedance network may be included in a voltage stabilizer, Fig. 6 (not shown), (see Group XXXV).

Abstract: 629,971. Cleaning and polishing machines; rotary brushes; pads etc; stocks. GLAUSER, J. M. June 20, 1947, No. 16412. [Classes 19 and 138(i)] In a cleaning and polishing machine of the kind in which the work, e.g. a boot, is held against a rotating member, such member is fitted freely over an upright driven spindle and is arranged so that downward axial movement of the member brings it into driving engagement with the spindle, means being provided for lifting the member out of such driving engagement. The cleaning or polishing member is preferably provided with a dog or the like at its lower end and the spindle is preferably tapered. As shown in Figs. 1 and 6, a cleaning or polishing member 52, carried on a vertical spindle 18, is mounted above a hollow base-plate 10 and driven by a belt drive 19 from an electric motor 14, the direction of rotation of the spindle being such that the inner side of the cleaning element moves rearwardly. A suction fan 15, also driven by the motor, withdraws dust-laden air from the rear of the machine through and under a louvred plate 17 into the hollow base plate. The air is cleaned by a filter unit 41, the dirt falling into a removable tray 42. The filtered air may be discharged through a port 44 to the underside of the machine. Alternatively the air may be discharged through a port 46 to the upper surface of the baseplate by depressing a lever 49 controlling the linked flap valves 47, 51. The spindle, Fig. 2, is tapered at its upper end and carries a cleaning member which is supported on the spindle by shoulders at the upper and lower ends of an inner sleeve 22. Driving engagement between the spindle and the cleaning member is effected by a dog 21, at the lower end of the inner sleeve, engaging a transverse pin 20 in the spindle. The cleaning member is maintained in driving engagement with the spindle by its own weight. By depressing a lever 29, Fig. 3, a forked member 27 is raised against a shoulder 25 at the base of the inner sleeve, thereby lifting the cleaning member out of driving engagement and loosening it on the tapered spindle. As shown in Fig. 2, one type of polishing member comprises a number of leather discs 23, separated by smaller diameter spacers 24 and clamped on the inner sleeve by a threaded cap 26. Two other interchangeable cleaning members are described (Figs. 4 and 5, not shown), one comprising a leather cylinder stretched between end rings on the inner sleeve, the other comprising a cylindrical brush formed in two halves and clamped between end rings. In a modification (Fig. 7, not shown), the motor and fan are mounted on one side of the machine, a permeable bag is used for dust disposal and supports for cleaning and polishing members not in use are mounted on a top cover plate.
