IPC: B23P15/40
Filed: 1973-11-07
Abstract: 1407650 Apparatus for laying out a pattern on an arcuate die HENRY SIMON Ltd 7 Nov 1973 [26 Dec 1972] 51651/73 Heading G1M Carton blanks are cut from sheet material fed continuously to the nip between a pair of superimposed arcuate rotating surfaces, one of which carries knife blades whilst the other acts as an anvil. To produce the arcuate plywood die carrying the knife blades the thickness of blank material, the cut into the anvil and other variables must be taken into account, and reduced circumferential distances measured on reduction scales. In die marking apparatus, a die 50 is mounted on a rotary die cutting machine having side frames 12 and 14, Fig. 1. The die or workpiece 50, Fig. 2, is screwed to discs 52, 54 on a counterbalanced shaft 56 and supports a shaft 70 movable vertically by rack and pinion and carrying a scale 94 and a workpiece marking device 76. The marking device rests by its feet 84 on the shaft and holds a scriber 80, and a lens 86 movable by means of a knob 92 has a hairline 88 which co-operates with the scale. A tube 32, which may be rotated by hand and indexed by a pin passing through a block 42 into one of a series of holes in the tube, mounts several reduction measuring scales 34  which may be selected and viewed through a window 38 in a sleeve 36 slidable by an adjustable cable and pulley mechanism, Fig. 4, the arrangement being that any rotation of the workpiece 50 to scribe a line thereon is geared down by wheels 100, 105, 110 and 108 to produce a proportionate sliding movement of the sleeve. The horizontal distance which the scribe makes on the surface of the workpiece is viewed on the scale 94.

Title: Magnetic film data storage devices
IPC: G11C7/02
Filed: 1964-12-21
Abstract: 1,069,529. Magnetic storage devices. INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS MACHINES CORPORATION. Dec. 21, 1964 [Jan. 7, 1964], No. 51757/64. Heading H1T. [Also in Division H3] Information is written into an anisotropic magnetic film structure (which may be a single film or multiple single domain films side-by-side with or without air gap) by applying a hard direction field or fields and an over-lapping easy direction field to the film structure, the hard direction field or fields being varied or terminated in such a way that a portion (domain) only of the film structure becomes magnetized in a given direction, an adjacent portion or portions being magnetized in the opposite direction. Fig. 6 shows a matrix in which, e.g., the single magnetic film 10.7 is subjected to hard direction fields by a pulse in line 20.1 and an overlapping longer lasting pulse in line 22.1, a coincident easy direction bit pulse in line 16.1 terminating after the termination of the hard direction pulse in line 20.1 so that the magnetic vector in the part of the film under line 20.1 is swung into a direction along the easy axis determined by the bit pulse in 16.1. The hard direction pulse in line 22.1 terminates after cessation of the bit pulse and the magnetic vector in the portion of the film under line 22.1 is said to assume a direction along the easy axis opposite to that of the magnetic vector in the part of the film under 20.1 (Fig. 2, not shown). Magnetic films which demagnetize, after application of hard direction field, into four or more domains may be used, the word conductors over alternate domains being connected serially. Non-destructive readout is obtained by passing an interrogating pulse through one of the word conductors 20.1 or 22.1. In another arrangement (Figs. 7 and 8, not shown) a single word conductor (18a) passing over the centre part of the part of the film applies a large hard direction field which saturates the whole film in the hard direction. This field is reduced while an easy direction field is applied by a bit conductor (16) so that in the areas of the film on each side of conductor (18a) the magnetization vectors turn towards a first easy axis direction determined by the direction of the bit field. With further reduction and removal of the hard direction field the magnetization vector in the part of the film below conductor (18a) is said to assume a direction along the easy axis opposite to the first direction. The word line may be slotted.

Title: Improvements relating to surface treating and liquid pick up appliances
IPC: A47L9/28
Filed: 1967-11-14
Abstract: 1,212,837. Actuation of switches. HOOVER Ltd. 14 Nov., 1967 [15 Nov., 1966], No. 51866/67. Addition to 1,210,536. Heading H1N. [Also in Division A4] In the floor-cleaning and liquid pick-up appliance of the parent Specification (see Division A4), a switch assembly to reverse the direction of rotation of the motor has two "on" and one "off" positions, and to switch from one "on" position to the other it is necessary to switch first to the "off" position, this arrangement providing a delay in reversing the motor. In Fig. 8, the switch assembly comprises two switches with slides 48, 49 located on either side of a thumb knob 59. Slides 48, 49 are shown "off". To move e.g. slide 48 "on", knob 59 has to be displaced upwardly in Fig. 8 out of line with guide 37 so that slide 48 is received in notch 57, and on movement of knob 59 to the right it carries slide 48 with it to the "on" position (Fig. 8a). Before slide 49 can be switched "on" in a similar manner, the parts have first to be restored to the Fig. 8 "off " position. To locate knob 59 in its displaced "off" positions, grooves (65, 66, Fig. 9) in knob 59 co-operate with a pin (67, Fig. 4) in the housing. In a second embodiment, a lever (68, Fig. 11a) on manual upward movement (Fig. 11a) prevents movement of slide (49) "on" by a projection (75) but allows manual "on" movement of slide (48). In a third embodiment, Fig. 13a, a single slide 77 is mounted in the underside of the knob 80 which is mounted to move in a "Z"-shaped guide opening 84 in the housing. In Fig. 13a, slide 77 is "on". To move slide 77 to its other "on" position (Fig. 13d), knob 80 is moved to the left, taking slide 77 with it which is now "off" (Fig. 13b), knob 80 is moved downwardly (Fig. 13c) relative to slide 77, and finally both parts are moved to the left (Fig. 13d). In a fourth embodiment, slide (111, Fig. 17) is mounted in a gate (112) with a "Z"-shaped guide opening (119), the gate being mounted on pins (113, 114) so as to be moved manually in a linear path perpendicular to that of slide (111). To switch from one "on" position (Fig. 17a) to the other "on" position (Fig. 17d), slide (111) is moved "off" manually (Fig. 17b) and gate (112) is moved linearly (Fig. 17c) before slide (111) can be switched "on" (Fig. 17d). In a fifth embodiment, the slide (101, Fig. 15) is received in a recess (108) in knob 105, Fig. 16b, and the knob has a pin 110 constrained to move in a "Z"-shaped slot 109 of the housing. To move from one "on" position (Fig. 16a), knob 105 is moved to the left with pin 110 to switch slide (101) "off". Knob 105 must now be rotated anticlockwise so pin 110 moves down in slot 109, Fig. 16b, and then knob 105 is moved to the left to the "on" position (Fig. 16c). Slide (101) moves linearly all the time.

Title: Communication channel holding system for an automatic telephone exchange
IPC: H04Q3/00
Filed: 1969-10-24
Abstract: 1291588 Automatic exchange systems HITACHI Ltd 24 Oct 1969 [4 Nov 1968] 52347/69 Heading H4K . In a system having facilities for tracing a call in respect of malicious or police/fire alarm calls, the connection path to the calling party is held irrespective of the on/off hook state of the caller and the latter may initiate a new call over a different path during the period in which his previous call is still being traced over the held connection. The holding of the path without disturbing later calls is effected by severing the P-wire beween the line circuit and the first selector. It is mentioned that prior proposals for providing the further-call facility have required two P-wires for separately controlling the line circuit and the selectors, or have relied on the marginal characteristics of the line circuit relays and the holding magnets for the speech path. First embodiment.-Fig. 1. A calling subscriber SUB is initially connected through a (cross-bar) line link frame LF to a register sender RS. In response to a translation of the dialled digits, a marker then connects the subscriber to an ordinary outgoing junctor GOGT or to a special junctor SPOGT-the latter in response to an indication from the translater that calls to a particular destination should be traced. The RS transmits some or all of the digits to the terminating exchange B and the call is set up in the usual way. If SUB releases, the path 2 is held from the junctor but his line circuit is released so that he can  initiate a new call. During the call, battery feed relays A and D in the junctor (Fig. 2) are up, switching relay B is operative, line L and cut-off CO relays in the line circuit are on and holding magnets HMO, HMI in the switch frame are energized. In addition call trace relay MCO is operated by a signal from the marker so as to connect earth to the line circuit side of the sleeve wire C via a contact b2 of the B relay and to hold itself in parallel with the magnets by earth via contacts b1 and d in the junctor. If SUB hangs-up, A drops followed by B and thereby L and CO fall-back to release his line circuit. However as long as the called party's line remains looped D is held on and so the magnets HM remain energized. Any conventional method of call tracing will then provide the identity of the calling station without interfering with his ability to set-up a new call. . Second embodiment.-If the originating exchange does not contain facilities for indicating that a call trace is required in respect of calls to particular destinations, the terminating exchange may revert the indication whereupon a special junctor as described above is seized (Fig. 4, not shown) or another special junctor of the wrap-round type (involving two paths through the switching network) is inserted in the path to the ordinary junctor (Fig. 3, not shown). .
