Title: Prepayment mechanisms
Inventor: MOORE-FAY COLIN ERNEST
IPC: G07F15/02
Filed: 1962-10-15
Abstract: 1,077,623. Prepayment meters. UNITED GAS INDUSTRIES Ltd. Jan. 14, 1964 [Oct. 15, 1962], No. 38903/62. Heading G4V. The coin receiving, quantity and indicator mechanisms of prepayment meter are mounted in a generally rectangular casing the walls of which carry spindle bearings and apertures for the mechanisms. The price change plate 7 and coin holder 8 work on a spindle 20 with two strikers engaging one quantity wheel 14, or both quantity wheels 14 and 15, according to the coin inserted; see Specifications 1,077,621 and 1,077,622. The wheels 14 and 15 are separated by a washer 17 having a leg which projects into a slot 23 of the casing to hold the washer against rotation. The wheel 14 is frictionally coupled to gear 16 mounted on shaft 24 into which the spindle 20 sockets, and the gear 16 drives reduction gears on a planet carrier 18 which, through gears 26 and 25 on shaft 24, drives the quantity mechanism. The wheel 15 is coupled directly with the planet carrier 18 and consequently drives the quantity mechanism direct through gear 25 while wheel 14 slips on its bearing. In the quantity mechanism the planet wheel 33 meshes with a worm gear 34 driven from the consumption meter to restore the mechanism; the sun-wheels of the quantity mechanism are driven by and drive gears 29 and 31. Deflection of gear 29 by the coin receiving mechanism results in a corresponding deflection of the gear 31 which drives the indicator and control drum 9. The side of the casing on which drum 9 is mounted is apertured so that a control arm 42 may co-operate with the shut-off valve of the meter as described in Specification 1,075,351. The drum is indexed so that unconsumed credit is made visible through a transparent window plate 11. A transverse shaft 41 driven from the control arm 42 at one end has a pawl member 43 at its other end so as to engage a spur 44 on a coin lever 39 and thereby prevent the acceptance of further coins when a maximum credit has been established. The price change plate is secured by a pin 50 and a bracket 51 is provided for the attachment of an enclosure for the casing.

Title: Handling device having a detachable gripper
IPC: B25J15/04
Filed: 1963-10-04
Abstract: 1,003,244. Manipulators. COMMISSARIAT A L'ENERGIE ATOMIQUE. Oct. 4, 1963 [Oct. 4, 1962], No. 39162/63. Heading B4Q. The gripper of a manipulator for use in a hot cell is remotely detachable by placing the gripper in a rack and operating the manipulator and comprises a cylindrical body 2 having three legs 4 to which jaws 9 are pivoted at 5. The jaws have gear sectors 11 whereby they are actuated by axial movement of a screw 13, this screw having a bayonet connection 17 with a plunger 15 biased by a spring 25 within a cylinder 19. The plunger is moved to the position shown against the spring action to close the jaws 9 by a control cable (not shown) connected to the plunger. The plunger 15 is keyed against rotation relative to the cylinder 19 so that when handles 23 on the latter are rotated through 90 degrees the connection 17 is released. A bush 27 mounted on the cylinder 19 by bearings 29 has an axial slot 31 leading to a recess 33 receiving a catch 37 radially movable in the body 2. Thus in the position shown the catch 37 locks the bush 27 both axially and rotatably with respect to the body 2 but the catch may be withdrawn to leave the recess 33 and permit the bush 27 to be axially withdrawn from the body, the catch moving along the slot 31. The catch operating mechanism comprises a ring 38 rotable in the body 2 and having an arcuate recess 40 receiving arcuate ramps 42, 44 rigid with the ring. The inner edges of the two ramps are of spiral profile but in the reverse sense to one another. The lower ramp 42 co-operates with a shoulder 41 on the catch 35 and serves to move it into the locking position shown whereas the upper ramp 46 co-operates with a notch 46 in the catch and serves to unlock it. In order to remove the gripper the manipulator places it in a rack which engages flat surfaces provided on the ring 38. The manipulator rotates the handles 23 to unlock the connection 17 and the bush 27 and body 2 are rotated together by gearing 50 on the bush so that the catch 37 leaves the recess 33 and the bush may be withdrawn from the gripper. The manipulator may be coupled to another gripper by a corresponding series of movements performed in the reverse order. A sealing bellows 56 extends from a ring 52 supported by a bearing 60 on the bush 27, the upper end of the bellows being connected to the manipulator. The manipulator includes drive means (not shown) for driving the gearing 50 and rotating the handles 23, the drive connections being protected by the bellows.

Abstract: 1,083,859. Automatic control systems. BECKMAN INSTRUMENTS Inc. Sept. 27, 1965 [Oct. 9, 1964], No. 40985/65. Heading G3R. An automatic control system for speed or temperature in which provides rapid correction for large deviations and finer control for small deviations comprises, in the embodiment described a thermistor 12 in an A. C. bridge connected to an A. C. amplifier 18 the output of which is passed through a demodulator 28 to a decoupling network 54, 56, 58 controlling a transistor 72. Also fed from the amplifier is a CR circuit 62, 66, 68 having a large time constant compared with an oven to be heated, the voltage across the capacitor 62 being arranged to represent the average heater power for isothermal conditions. For large temperature deviations the output of amplifier 18 will be large enough for a Zener diode 69 to conduct hence the voltage on capacitor 62 will rise relatively quickly. A smaller capacitor 70 is also connected across the amplifier output and will rapidly follow transient temperature fluctuations. In this condition the difference voltage between capacitors 62, 70 appearing across resistors R66, R68 also controls the transistor 72. This regulates the charging current of another capacitor 74 which discharges through a unijunction transistor 78 into a transformer primary winding 88 supplying a firing potential to thyristors 92, 94 in series with a heater 102. The arrangement may alternatively control the output of a lamp whose output is detected by a photo-sensing device.
