Filed: 1926-11-08
Abstract: 262,078. Naamlooze Vennootschap Philip's Gloeilampenfabrieken. Nov. 26, 1925, [Convention date]. Sorting by weighing. - A device for sorting articles, for example glass tubes, of different weight comprises a conveyer for the articles, a weighing device arranged in the path of the articles carried along by the conveyer, a contact member adapted to be moved proportionately to the movements of the weighing device and to cooperate with a series of contacts arranged in the path of the contact member, and a series of magnetically-controlled sorting devices each corresponding to one of the contacts and adapted, when operated, to move a distributing-device into the path of the article carried along by the conveyer. The glass tubes 12 are allowed to roll singly to the bottom of a shoot 11 by cam-operated pins 13, 14, and are picked up by a weighted carrier 9 pivoted upon an endless chain 4. A projection 22 engaging an arm 10' of the carrier tips the tube into the forked end of a weighing lever 54. The lever depresses a pin 28 against the opposition of a spring-controlled lever 30 and rocks a needle 37 arranged adjacent to a contact roller 38. When the needle has come to rest, assisted by a damping device, it is pressed against the contact roller by a spring-actuated plate 39 and thus establishes a circuit through one of three electromagnets 55. The selected electromagnet thereupon raises its corresponding guide 56, 57 or 58 so that the tube when subsequently carried away by a second carrier 10 is deflected on to the corresponding receiving device 53, 52 or 51. An electromagnet retracts the plate 39. Camactuated contacts time the closure of the circuits of the electromagnets 55 to take place after the weighing device has stopped moving and the needle 37 has been pressed against the contact roller. The contact strips on the roller are arranged helically and the roller may be rotated by hand to bring the contacts into a different position relative to the needle in order that the sorting range may be changed if desired.

Title: Improvements in or relating to television transmitting arrangements
Inventor: SCHLESINGER KURT
IPC: H04N5/257
Filed: 1938-10-03
Abstract: 519,757. Valve modulating circuits; electronmultipliers ; television transmitters. RADIOAKT.-GES. D. S. LOEWE. Oct. 3, 1938, No. 28646. Convention date, Oct. 5, 1937. [Classes 40 (iii) and 40 (v)] In a television transmitting arrangement employing an electron-multiplier with a photosensitive cathode, means are provided for varying the output current in rhythm with a carrierfrequency and for causing the output current to have an extreme value during synchronizing signals. The light-source 10, film 11, and scanning-disc 12 illuminate the photo-cathode 3 of the multiplier 1, which is situated in a lightproof casing 13. A control grid 4 is arranged between two impact anodes 2 and is fed with carrier-frequency from the generator 6. The output anode 5a is coupled to the amplifier 9. A second source of illumination 15 is arranged to produce an illumination on the cathode 3, which corresponds to black in the image, and is interrupted by a slotted disc 16 during the synchronizing periods so as to cause the output of the multiplier to fall to zero. In " negative " transmission systems, the light 15 is arranged to illuminate the cathode 3 only during the synchronizing period. A sleeve electrode may surround the entire electrode assembly to prevent dispersion of the electronic current, and if the control electrode 4 is adequately screened from the output, the carrier-input may be applied directly between it and the adjacent impact anode, Fig. 1 (not shown). Instead of a special control electrode, one of the impact anodes may be employed and may be supplied with alternating potentials as compared with the preceding anode, Fig. 2 (not shown). The carrier-frequency may also be applied to a plurality of impact anodes capacitatively connected in parallel, impact anodes at earth carrier-frequency potential being interposed, Fig. 3 (not shown). The deflectional control of the electron current may be electromagnetic or electrostatic.

Abstract: 700,988. Lasting machines. BRITISH UNITED SHOE MACHINERY CO., Ltd., and LANE, H. Nov. 22, 1951 [Nov. 23, 1950], No. 28651/50. Class 17(1) A progressive lasting machine for cement attachment, particularly of platform covers, as described in Specification 613,393 has a modified shoe-bottom rest which is reciprocated to engage the upper material in advance of its engagement by the gripper to detach the upper from the side of the shoebottom member should it become prematurely cemented thereto. A shoe-bottom rest 10 is mounted on a carrier 14 to swing about a shaft 16 and is urged yieldingly by a spring loaded plunger 24 towards an edge guide roll 64. It is caused to oscillate by an eccentric 44 through levers 38, 36 and an arm 34. A screw 30 can adjust the initial position of the carrier 14 and hence the forward and rearward position of the bottom rest 10. In use, depression of a starting treadle causes a throw-out 'lever 48 on the shaft 16, which normally holds the bottom rest 10 inoperative, to act through members 58, 56 and link 54 to bring the bottom rest 10 to its operative position, in which it engages the the shoe bottom member and reciprocates forwardly and rearwardly thereon to slide in a path extending beyond its edge so that the upper material or platform cover is separated therefrom. The path of the bottom rest 10 is arcuate about the shaft 16 and this is stated to reduce its friction on the shoe bottom during the feed of the shoe.

Title: Mechanically driven and electrically controlled typehead for printing machines
Inventor: MARSH JOSEPH BENJAMIN
IPC: H04L13/18
Filed: 1949-11-10
Abstract: 680,135. Typewriters &c. NATIONAL RESEARCH DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION. Oct. 11, 1950 [Nov. 10, 1949], No. 28894/49. Class 100 (iv). Type-wheel machines; driving mechanisms; hammer impression arrangements.-A machine in which a type-head 11 is adapted to be stopped by an electromagnetic latch 24 at electrically marked positions to present selected characters at a printing position, has a mechanical typehead drive including a differential gear 4, 5, 6 in which cage gear 4 thereof drives the typehead 11 via the gear 5 until it is stopped, whereupon the gear 6, normally restrained from rotation by the latch, turns a cam 20 to effect operation of a printing hammer; the release of the latch 24 locks the cam and releases the typehead 11. The drive from a motor 1 is transmitted through a gear-box 2 to a shaft 3 driving the cage gear 4 carrying planet gears 4a which mesh with the bevel gears 5, 6. Gear 6 is fixed to the cam 20 carried by a sleeve journalled on the shaft 3. Gear 5 is fixed to a toothed wheel 7 and a sleeve 8 carrying the type-head 11 and rotating about shaft 3. Mounted in the type-head 11 are two brushes 13, 13a engaging respectively a series of electrical marked contacts 15 and a slip ring 16. When a signal from e.g. uniselectors, electromagnetic relays, valve circuits or means associated with a local or remote keyboard is received the electromagnet 24, Fig. 3, is operated and one arm 23 of a double latch, engages the toothed wheel 7 which thus stops. The other arm 29 of the latch disengages inwardly from a slot 22 in a ring 21 on the cam 20 which is thus rotated by gears 4, 4a, 6 and its outer edge engages with a roller 33, Fig. 2, on a hammer arm 35 moving the hammer head 38 backwardly to the dotted position shown whereupon the cam allows rapid return of the arm 35, which after reaching the stop 36, causes the head 38 mounted on a resilient spring 37 to effect printing on to a strip 40 through a ribbon 39. Upon de-energisation of the electromagnet, by a cam 32 and associated contacts, gear 6 continues to rotate until the arm 29 bearing on the inside of the ring 21 eventually re-engages in the slot 22, whereupon cam 20 and gear 6 stop and simultaneously arm 23 allows toothed wheel 7 and type-head 11 to rotate. The shaft 3 is driven at 55 R.P.M. and printing is effected at the rate of 25-50 characters per minute. Ink-ribbon mechanism.-The ink-ribbon 39 travels between spools 42 whose shafts are alternatively driven by gearing from a ratchet wheel 48 rotated by the rocking movement of a pawl 49 carried on an arm 43 pivoted at 45 and actuated by a roller 44 operated by the cam 20. Paper-feeding; letter-spacing.-The strip 40 is advanced step-by-step by a feed roller 54 and idler 55, the shaft of roller 54 carrying a ratchet wheel 60 advanced by a pawl 52 pivoted on a lever 52a rocked by a link 51 coupled to the arm 43. The strip is taken up on a spool driven by a slipping belt drive from a pulley 31, Fig. 2, attached to the cam 20.

IPC: B01L3/02
Filed: 1960-08-25
Abstract: A pipetting device comprising a rubber ball with a rubber connector into which a pipetting tube is fitted, is characterized in that the thickness of the wall of the rubber ball progressively increases from the region nearest the pipetting tube to a region surrounding an air inlet and <PICT:0922062/III/1> outlet diametrically opposite.  Such increase in wall thickness ensures that the ball returns to its original shape after being compressed.  Fig. 1 shows a ball 3 having a wall thickest at the upper part near a valve tube 1.  A pipetting tube 4 is fitted into a valve tube 2.  The valves comprise rigid balls 8, 12 and 13 located in cylindrically widened portions, e.g. 7, in channels, e.g. 6; the valves are opened by pressing on flat projections, e.g. 9, so that air can pass through the channels which are normally blocked by the balls 8, 12 and 13.
