Abstract: 1332484 Transferring between endless conveyers SERVICE D'EXPLOITATION INDUSTRIELLE DES TEBACS ET DES ALLUMETTES 22 Dec 1970 [24 Dec 1969] 60742/70 Heading B8A A device for conveying cigarettes comprises an endless belt conveyer 1 from which the cigarettes are transferred to a permeable endless belt conveyer 4 under whose upward run is a suction chamber 9 having an opening 8, the cigarettes being held on the conveyer 4 by the suction until they reach a second permeable endless belt conveyer 12 under a part of which lies a suction chamber 11, such that on passing the end of the chamber 9 the cigarettes leave the conveyer 4 and are applied against the conveyer 12 under the action of the suction in the chamber 11 and are conveyed on the belt 12 in the direction of the arrow 18 to a packing machine (not shown). If the packing machine is unable to absorb the cigarettes from the conveyer 12 the vacuum is switched from the chamber 11 to a second suction chamber 14 under the conveyer 4 which causes the cigarettes to remain on the conveyer 4 and to proceed in the direction of the arrow 17 to be placed in reserve or else transferred to another packing machine. In a second embodiment, Fig. 2 (not shown), a second conveyer (21) is placed opposite the conveyer (4), the chamber under the upward run of the conveyer (4) being divided into four compartments (22)-(25), the second compartment (25) being connected to the same vacuum source as the chamber (27) of the conveyer (21), the fourth compartment (24) being connected to the same vacuum source as the chamber (11) of the conveyer (12), such that by interchanging vacuum between the said associated chambers it is possible to transfer cigarettes from the conveyer (4) to either of the two conveyers associated therewith. In a third embodiment, Fig. 3 (not shown), cigarettes are transferred from a first conveyer (32) to a second conveyer (34) until a detector (38) associated therewith is raised and actuates a contact (46) which interrupts the suction in the chamber (36) associated with the conveyer (34), the cigarettes then being transferred to a third conveyer (35) associated with a storage container (39).

Patent GB-2030705-A (GB)
Title: Electronic gear checker
IPC: G01B7/28
Filed: 1979-08-29
Abstract: In a functional gear checking machine for determining a number of gear characteristics, a composite signal from a linear voltage differential transformer is, after demodulation, fed to several types of processing circuits, each containing a memory and being arranged to separate the components of the composite signals to provide output signals representing the desired gear characteristics. These output signals are functions of the voltage between two reference levels, at least one of which is established by the associated signal processing circuit. The maximum signal excursion in a given direction is determined by means of a counter, e.g. 362, initially set to a value representing a magnitude greater than that excursion and coupled to a D/A converter e.g. 366, the analog output being compared with the signal in a comparator e.g. 376. Pulses from a clock 382 cause the counter 362 to count down until stopped by a comparator output 388 when the D/A converter output 386 ceases to exceed the signal 374. <IMAGE>

Title: Room service and/or entertainment system
IPC: H04L12/18
Filed: 1979-09-06
Abstract: A room service and/or entertainment system comprises room units 2 which are connected to corresponding control units 1, typically grouped together in a single desk console. Each of the room units 2 provides a variety of functions, which are mostly generated by the associated control unit 1. To minimise wiring requirements between each room unit 2 and control unit 1, at least one information line serves to convey at least two different kinds of information. Thus, for example, in a four wire system, two wires 31 and 32 are used for conveying information, and the other two wires 33 and 30 are used respectively for energy supply and a common return line. Conveniently, the two wires 31, 32 for conveying information can be the central conductors, and the supply and common return wires 33 and 30 can be the screens, of twin screened coaxial lines. <IMAGE>

Title: Clamping chuck for a thread-winding machine
IPC: B65H54/54
Filed: 1979-12-18
Abstract: A clamping chuck for use in a thread winding device, wherein a bobbin carrier (106) is removably mounted and held on an expandable chucking spindle (103) by means of swingable, elongate clamping elements (108) which are distributed about the outer circumferential mantle (104) of the chucking spindle (103) and move radially outwardly and inwardly of the mantle surface through openings (109) defining each clamping position. Two torque-producing forces (111, 112) are applied to each clamping element to cause it to swing into its clamping position outwardly of the mantle, preferably under a spring tensioned force, and another force (114) counteracts the torque-producing forces (111, 112) to return the clamping elements (108) into their retracted or release position below the mantle surface in order to change bobbin carriers. The force (114) is preferably produced by a compressed air operated annular piston ring which is slidably mounted about the chuck in an annular interspace between the spindle (103) and the mantle (104) so as to engage the clamping elements (108) which are mounted in common cages formed in the annular interspace, using a self-contained arrangement within the spindle for delivering the compressed air to the cylinder operating the piston ring. <IMAGE>
