Title: Improvements in or relating to record-card-controlled machines
Filed: 1929-09-23
Abstract: 319,618. British Tabulating Machine Co., Ltd., (Assignees of Berry, C. A.). Sept. 24, 1928, [Convention date]. Statistical-machines ; verifying .-An electrically-read record-card-controlled statistical machine is provided with means which automatically detect the absence of a card in a predetermined sequence, the cards being perforated consecutively in one particular column. A special mark " M," is printed on the record strip of the machine when a missing card is detected. In Fig. 1 the cards are read by upper and lower brushes, the known control circuits of the Hollerith machine being shown in thin lines, while the circuits embodying the present invention are in thick lines. The "9" perforations of the cards pass under the brushes first. The lower brush 26 and one upper brush 24 are used to detect the sequence, brush 24 being one hole position ahead of brush 26: i.e. when brush 26 is reading the "5" hole, say, of one card, the brush 24 is reading the "6" hole of the next card. If the cards are in sequence two holes ane thus read simultaneously and a circuit 28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 26, 27. 34, 35, 36, 37, 38, 39, 40, 41, 25, 24, 42 is closed between the right and left hand main lines. Contacts 42 43, 40 are, normally closed and open momentarily at the end of each machine cycle. Energization of magnet 37 closes contacts 43, which remain closed, giving a circuit from right line to 48, 47, 46, 45, 43, 44, 42 and to left line. Switch 48 renders the device according to the present invention operative or inoperative. When relay 47 is energized, it draws its armature 61 to the right. Contacts 49 close just after this but 61 has thus broken the circuit of a magnet 50 for printing the special "M" mark. Hence while cards are in the correct sequence no printing by 50 can occur. But when the sequence is broken, magnet 37 is not energized, contacts 43 remaining open, relay 47 is not energized and the armature 61 (as shown) completes the circuit of magnet 50 when contacts 49 close. This prints the "M" shown in Fig. 3. When the sequence passes through "9" the following means is used to detect the time sequence of "O" at the upper brush and "9" at the lower brush. When a "9" card is at the upper brush, an "8" card is at the lower brush and simultaneously a circuit 44, 51, 53 is established, cam contacts 53 only being closed whilst the "8" hole position on a card is by the lower brush 26. Winding 51 closes contacts 52 which energize a magnet 54, this magnet thereby closing, and holding closed, its contacts 55. These contacts are held closed until the "O" hole position of the following card is at the upper brush 24 (the "9" card being now at the lower brush), at which instant contacts 57 close momentarily. 'Thus, if an "O" hole is read a circuit 42, 24, 25, 41, 40, 57, 55, 47, 48 is closed to energize relay 47 and move armature 61 to disable the printing mechanism. For other sequences the brush 24 may be placed twoÀ or more hole positions ahead of brush 26. Specification 247,200 is referred to.

Title: Process for the production of patterns on woven and like fabrics of vegetable fibres
IPC: D06Q1/02
Filed: 1936-10-29
Abstract: Pattern effects are produced on fabrics of vegetable fibres by local treatment with parchmentizing and shrinking agents so that shrinking takes place and the fabric contains partly overlapping patterns. Suitable parchmentizing agents are a solution of calcium thiocyanate thickened with cellulose and containing formaldehyde, sulphuric acid, and zinc chloride solution; a suitable shrinking agent is soda lye. The local effects may be obtained by reserve printing or by direct printing.  The treated fabric may be overdyed, the treated and untreated portions having different dyeing affinities.  In examples, (1) a mercerized, bleached cotton muslin is printed with a gum reserve and passed through sulphuric acid of 55 DEG  B<\>ae. at 10 DEG  C., washed and dried under tension.  The fabric is then treated with a further gum reserve to overlap the previous pattern, and treated with mercerizing soda lye without tension and washed hot; (2) a mercerized, bleached cotton muslin is printed with a calcium thiocyanate paste containing cellulose and formaldehyde, as described in Specification 439,749, dried at 100 DEG  C., passed through a concentrated calcium chloride solution at 120 DEG  C., washed and dried under tension.  It is then printed with a gum reserve, shrunk with mercerizing lye, washed and finished; (3) a mercerized unbleached cotton muslin is printed with a zinc chloride solution thickened with cellulose, according to Specification 450,837, dried and washed.  An overlapping design is then printed with soda lye thickened with British gum, allowed to stand, and finished as described in example 1.  Specification 196,696, [Class 42 (i)], also is referred to.

[Also in Division B8] In a method of producing self-adhesive labels, letters, characters and symbols of metal foil, especially aluminium foil, etching resist is applied to those areas of the front side of the foil which are to remain in the finished product, the back of the foil is coated with an adhesive, the latter is covered with a slightly adhering plastic foil, etching liquid is put on the foil to remove the parts not covered with etching resist down to the coat of adhesive, and the etching resist and the adhesive located between the areas of the foil remaining is washed off with a solvent, e.g. acetone. The metal foil may be imprinted or inked in several colours prior to the application of the etching resist. If exposed self-adhesive characters are to be produced the front side of the formed characters is covered with a holding foil having an adhesion higher than that of the plastics foil covering the back, which foil is removed.

Filed: 1937-10-29
Abstract: 482,040. Momentary-contact switches. ERIKSEN, L. Oct. 29, 1937, No. 29584. [Class 38 (v)] [Also in Group XXXVIII] In a warning-device in which a mechanical device driven by reverse movement of the vehicle closes the circuit to a sound signal, the device accumulates energy which is released to move a contact member both to close and open the circuit without it being possible for the member to stop in the closed position. The shaft 3, rotating clockwise upon backward movement of the vehicle, carries arms 4, 5 the former being free, while the latter rotates with the shaft 3 in a clockwise direction only by means of-the one-way coupling device 6, 7. The arms 4, 5 connected by the spring 8 normally occupy a position such as shown in dotted lines, but upon the shaft 3 rotating clockwise the arm 5 rotates, drawing arm 4 with it until a pin 9 engages the upstanding end 14<111> of the curved lever 14 pivoted at 15 and biassed by the spring 16 into the position shown by the lower lever 14. The arm 5 then rotates alone until the pin 10 engaging the end 14<111> of the lever rocks the latter sufficiently to release the pin 9 so that the arm 4 rapidly moves up to the arm 5, a contact 11 momentarily completing a circuit through contact 12. In order that the circuit may not be kept closed as might - occur if the shaft reversed before arm 5 left the lever 14 a spring 17 and ratchet 18 are provided. The movement of the arm 4 is slowed down by the rocking pawl device 22 pivoted to the arm 5 and engaging teeth 20 on arm 4.
