Abstract: 669,689. Cable clips. INSTRELL, A. S. Dec. 1, 1950 [Dec. 12, 1949], No. 31828/49. Class 36. A clip for securing electric cables to a support comprises a base and an arm or arms to embrace the cable, a nail or other shank fastener being non- removably secured through a hole in the base by means of a head at one end of the shank and a flange that is integral with the shank but spaced from the head so that the head and the flange engage opposite faces of the base. The clip may be of the buckle type, comprising a base 1 and arms 2, 3. A headless nail having an integral flange on its shank 6 is passed through the hole in the base 1 so that the flange rests against the back of the clip. A head 8 is then formed on the nail to secure it in the hole. Alternatively a headed nail may be inserted in the hole and an integral flange subsequently formed on the shank. Strengthening flanges 10 may be provided on the base.

Title: Signal control circuits
IPC: H01L21/822
Filed: 1974-07-22
Abstract: 1474722 Transistor gating circuits SONY CORP 22 July 1974 [24 July 1973] 32361/74 Heading H3T [Also in Division H1] A switching circuit comprises a field effect transistor (FET) having a PN junction in series with the gate and a control electrode connected to the region of the pair defining the junction furthest from the channel region, there being switching means connected to the control electrode for selectively applying a bias voltage thereto. In Fig. 1 the FET is a JUGFET 19, the above-mentioned PN junction being provided by an N type region 3 within the P type gate region 2. When switch 43 is closed a negative charge is stored in region 2, reverse biasing the gate junction and pinching off the channel region 38. A current source 49 is connected to an electrode 8 on a P type emitter region 4, and when the switch 43 is opened charges injected from the region 4 are collected by, and thus discharge, the region 2. This results in the gradual switching-on of the JUGFET 19 with a time constant determined by the magnitude of the current from source 49, and a fade-in switching circuit for T.V. or radio is thus provided. The fade-in profile may be controlled by appropriate variation of the current from source 49. A fade-out switch may be similarly devised. The region 2 may alternatively be discharged by irradiation with light or via a discharge JUGFET (20) Fig. 4 (not shown) the drain electrode (16) of which is connected directly to an electrode (6) attached to the P type gate region (2). The JUGFET (20) may be replaced by a MOSFET. Fig. 6 shows a modification in which the switch 43 and N type region 3 are physically separated from the P type gate region 2, the region 3 being located instead in a further P type region 22 directly electrically connected to the region 2. This device otherwise operates in the same manner as that of Fig. 1, with the P type emitter region 4 now being located in an N type island 12 including the regions 22, 3, discharge of the region 2 being by carriers injected from the region 4, collected by the region 22 and transmitted directly to the region 2. In Fig. 8 the main FET is a MOSFET 31, the switch 43 being connected to a P type region 22 located within the N type region 3 connected directly to the gate electrode 27 of the MOSFET 31. Discharge of the region 3, and hence of the gate electrode 27, is effected via a discharge MOSFET 32.

Abstract: 809,274. Kick starter mechanism. BIRMINGHAM SMALL ARMS CO. Ltd. Oct. 10, 1956 [Nov. 15, 1955], No. 32560/55. Class 7(5) In a kick starter mechanism for motor vehicles having a kick starter lever adapted to turn the gearbox mainshaft (and consequently the engine crank - shaft) through the medium of a pinion and sector having intermeshing bevel teeth and intermeshing spur gears, one of the spur gears constitutes a ratchet member slidably mounted on the gearbox mainshaft so as to be independent of the rotation thereof and engageable with a complementary ratchet member fixed to the gearbox mainshaft. In Figs. 1-3 the invention is applied to a motor cycle in which the engine has its crank-shaft in line with the fore-and-aft line of the machine. A kick starter lever 1 is fixed to one end of a shaft 2 and on the shaft 2 is also fixed a toothed sector 4 having bevel teeth 5 which mesh with a bevel pinion 6 fixed to the shaft 7. On the shaft 7 is fixed a helical spur gear 9 which meshes with another spur gear 10 having ratchet teeth 11 adapted to engage complementary ratchet teeth 12 on a collar 13 secured to the mainshaft 8 of the gearbox. When the kick starter lever 1 is at rest in its normal position sufficient spring pressure is exerted on the lever 15 via a striker 14 to cause the gear 10 to be held in a position in which the ratchet teeth are out of engagement. The ratchet teeth 11 and 12 may be set at a slight helix angle of about 10. degrees. Fig. 4 shows a modification in which when the kick starter lever (not shown) on hsaft 25 in its normal inoperative position a cam nose 39 on the gear 29 engages a flange 37 to hold the gear 30 so that its ratchet teeth are out of engagement with ratchet teeth 34 of a collar 35 on the gearbox mainshaft 31. Rod 41 limits angular movements of the shaft 25 by abutment of the ends of the sector 24 thereagainst.
