Abstract: 1,162,928. Attaching fasteners. DENNISON MFG. CO. Ltd. 12 June, 1968 [8 March, 1968], No. 27968/68. Heading A3H. A device suitable for attaching fasteners of the form having a flexible filament 1 Fig. 5 with a transverse bar 3 one end of the filament and a fastening means 2 at the other end comprises a casing 11, Fig. 4, a needle 12 and a plunger 16. The needle has a bore (13) and a longitudinal slot (17) Fig. 12 (not shown) to accept a fastener. A strip of fasteners connected by a stringer (4) Fig. 7 (not shown) are fed through a passageway 22 and each fastener engages in a slot 24 of a rotor 23, in which position the transverse bar 3 is aligned with the bore of the needle. As handle 29 is pushed into a forward position (asshown), the plunger moves a fastener against a knife edge (21) Fig. 12 (not shown) of the needle such that the fastener is cut from the stringer (4) before being moved into engagement with a button and fabric. A spring 27 acts as a return for the handle and also unlocks a detent 26 which holds the rotor 23 stationary when a fastener is correctly aligned in position. The rotor protrudes from the casing to allow for hand movement. A cap 31 snaps into the handle and has a hook 34 which itself snaps into the casing 11 and limits rearward movement.

Title: Improvements in latch, safety catch and lifting mechanism for lid type automobile hoods
IPC: E05B65/19
Filed: 1939-10-17
Abstract: 538,356. Car bonnet fastenings. BASSICK CO. Oct. 17, 1939, No. 28034. Convention date Oct. 17, 1938. Addition to 538,340. [Class 44] In a fastening particularly for an alligator type of hinged lid on a motor-car bonnet in which the fastening provides for safety catch and tight closure conditions as in the parent Specification, hand operation of the fastening is effected by a rotary handle and crank arm connected by operating rod with the movable member of the fastening. The particular arrangement described also effects an initial raising of the lid when the handle is moved to release position. As described, a pair of fixed members 13 is mounted within and at opposite sides of the lid 10, each having inclined surfaces 14, 16 separated by a hooked nose 15 and co-operating with the off-set ends 31 of a torsionally resilient rod 28 transversely mounted in bearings 27 on a fixed member 23 disposed across the upper part of the engine compartment 11. Members 13 form end walls to a reinforcing member 12 extending across the lid and have downwardly extending inwardly curved ends 17 which cooperate with the edges of apertures in member 23 to centre the lid and prevent side-play. The rod 28 has a centrally disposed cranked portion 29 connected with an operating rod 38 so arranged that, when the rod is raised, ends 31 are swung clockwise, Fig. 1, to move them clear of the members 13 and release the lid. The upper end of rod 38 is adapted, when so raised. to abut against a flange 45 on member 12 to effect initial raising of the lid. the lower end 39 of rod 38 is engaged in an aperture in the curled end of a crank arm 41 mounted on a spindle 65 having an operating handle 66 mounted at the front of the vehicle. Movement of arm 41 is restricted to slightly more than 180 degrees by stops, not shown, allowing passage of rod 38 over the dead-centre. The spindle 65 and arm 41 are biassed towards release position by a spiral spring 73. When the lid has been raised and handle 66 released, the ends 31 are moved by action of spring 73 towards the fastening position but are arrested at an intermediate position by a fixed blade spring 85 engaging against a cranked end portion 30 of rod 28 and acting as a resilient stop. In this intermediate position the ends 31 ride over surfaces 16 and snap behind the hook noses 15 when the lid is closed, to provide an automatic safety catch. If handle 66 is now operated to complete the fastening movement, stop 85 yields, and the ends 31 are resiliently pressed against surfaces 14 by torsional deformation of rod 28 to effect a tight closure which is maintained by passage of rod 38 over the dead-centre.

Title: Focussing optical systems

Abstract: 1514215 Focusing optical systems ASAHI KOGAKU KOGYO KK 4 July 1975 [10 July 1974 23 April 1975] 28332/75 Heading G1A [Also in Division H4] Focus-detecting apparatus comprises at least one photo-conductive element, the internal resistance of which control(s) the number of pulses produced by a pulse generator means, and means for comparing numbers of pulses so produced when the at least one photo-conductive element is at two different positions along the optical axis and for providing an output indicative of whether the number of pulses at the two positions are equal or unequal. In a first embodiment two photo-conductive elements are symmetrically disposed at Mo, No about a required focal plane Po and control the output frequency of unijunction transistor oscillators 1a, 1b. Pulses from the oscillators pass to binary multi-stage counters 7, 8, for a period determined by a timer 3. AND gates 9, 10 and OR gates 11 form a comparator for each stage of the counters 7 and 8. At the end of the predetermined time period timer 3 enables AND gate 6 which, if the counts are equal, passes a binary "one" signal to display 12. If the counts are unequal one of the OR gates 11 sends a binary "zero" signal to AND gate 6 which in turn passes a binary "zero" to display 12. Cyclic operation is produced by oscillator 4 which initiates the timing period and switches the reset circuit 13, a monostable multi-vibrator, to its unstable state. Circuit 13 produces a reset pulse when it switches back to its stable state and its time constant is such that this occurs after circuit 5 ends the enablement of gate 6. In a modification, Fig.7 (not shown), the pulse trains are fed to the gates of respective S.C.R's (30, 32) in series with lamps (31, 34) or relays for automatic focusing. The oscillator associated with the photo-conductive element of lowest resistance starts oscillating first and gates one S.C.R. on while biasing the other S.C.R. off. The lamp to light thus provides an indication of the out-of-focus direction of the optical system. In a further embodiment, Fig.12 (not shown), a single photo-conductive element controlling a single oscillator (41) is used and while the displacement of a lens (54) is being varied by a drive mechanism (53) pulse counts during sequential predetermined time periods are compared by storing the counts in shift registers (55, 56). The comparing means provides one of two outputs (F, F) depending on which direction of lens movement is required to achieve focus. One output (F ) also controls a changeover switch (5), Fig. 10 (not shown) in the oscillator (41) the position of which determines whether the pulse frequency varies in direct proportion or inverse proportion to the resistance of the photo-conductive element.
