IPC: B41F16/02
Filed: 1949-05-25
Abstract: 653,665. Printing-machines ; feeding webs. MILFORD-ASTOR, Ltd., and IMAGE, W. E. May 25, 1949, No. 14566. [Classes 100 (i), 100 (ii) and 100 (iv)] In a web-printing platen press inked by a pigmented foil ribbon fed transversely to the web, intermittently driven feed rollers draw the web through tensioning rods, across a table and over a pivoted platform arranged beneath a die mounted on a blocking head carrying a heater box and the foil feed and receiving spool, the platform raising the material into contact with the die and being operated, as is the foil feed, in synchronism with the web feed rollers. The apparatus shown uses a guttapercha coated pigmented ribbon 29 fed transversely to the cloth 21 ; the legend &c. bearing die 27 for selvedge marking is fixed to one end of a stationary heater box 28 ; when a larger die is used, an asbestos &c. sheet 35 is removed. Manual rotation of a shaft 36, whose cams 37 engage abutments 38, 39, respectively fixed and carried by a pivoted platform 26, causes a platen thereon (not shown), to press the selvedge 21a and the ribbon 29 against the die 27 ; a rib or plate extending across the platen may guide the edge of the cloth and may have a horizontal blade to separate the two thicknesses of " half-width " cloth. Apparatus as above may be provided at both sides of the cloth. Ink-ribbon mechanism.-The ribbon 29 from a reel 30 passes beneath a pivoted tensioning plate 31 and, after impression, over a stripping roller 32 and a feed roller 33 to a reel 34 ; the feed roller shaft 40 is rotated by a ratchet wheel thereon engaged by a pawl on an arm linked to an arm on the shaft 36. Feeding webs.-The marking device is inset into the lateral edge of a table 12 having at its rear end a transverse pressure roller 14 and a hand- or power-driven feed roller 13 whose intermittent drive controls, or is controlled by, operation of the shaft 36. At the front end of the table the cloth 21 is fed as shown, between a fixed horizontal rail 16 and bars 19, 20 on rocking levers 18 on a rail 15 having adjusting and locking handles 22, 23, whereby the tension may be set. Guide shoulders 24, Fig. 3, are provided by metal strips bolted to the table 12 in front of and behind the guide rib or plate on the platen, the bolts also serving to secure overhanging gravity or spring-loaded transparent plates 25 which bear on the cloth to urge creases towards the centre ; guide lips may depend from the plates 25 in line with the shoulders 24.

Abstract: 979, 400. Pneumatic counters. SPERRY RAND CORPORATION. April 11, 1963 [April 23, 1962(2)], No. 14627/63. Heading G4D. [Also in Division G3] A pneumatic or liquid switching device for causing a power stream discharge from a nozzle 54 to be switched from one outlet 64 or 68 to the other each time a pulse issues from a source 17 comprises two interconnected pure fluid units 12, 14 of which at least the first, 12, operates by the production of a vortex in the chamber 20. One outlet, 64, may be connected to an indicator 66 and the other may constitute the pulse source for a second, similar device, and a number of these devices may be so connected together as to constitute a binary counter for the pulses issuing from the source 17, the indicator 66 of the first device giving a count of units of 2‹, that of the second device giving 2<SP>1</SP>, that of the third giving 2<SP>2</SP>, and so on. The unit 14 is bistable in that fluid passing to either outlet continues to do so in the absence of a signal at either of a pair of control nozzles 58, 60, but the relationship of the nozzle 54 to walls 46, 48 is such that fluid will tend initially to flow to the outlet 68, such flow producing a pressure differential at the nozzles 58, 60 to cause a clockwise circulation in passages 22, 18, 21 which gives rise to an anticlockwise circulation 34 in a chamber 20. Thus, a pulse from the source 17 is caused to follow the circulation 34 and to inject a signal into the passage 21 which, on arrival at the nozzle 58, switches the flow from the nozzle 54 to the outlet 64. When the pulse is removed the circulations in the passages 21, 18, 22 and in the chamber 20 will be reversed so that the next pulse will switch the discharge back to the outlet 68. In a modification, the second unit 14 is replaced by a unit with a vortex chamber as in the first unit 12, the nozzles 58, 60 opening into the lower portion of the chamber for changing the direction of circulation therein. In addition, feedback connections may lead from the outlets of the second unit to the passageways 18L, 18R of the first unit or to control nozzles at the lower portion of the chamber 20, and each chamber 20 of a pair of units or of an assembly constituting a counter may have a nozzle for resetting purposes.

Filed: 1958-05-13
Abstract: 862,893. Load-engaging devices for lifting. WESTLAND AIRCRAFT Ltd. Aug. 11, 1959 [May 13, 1958], No. 15279/58. Class 78 (4). [Also in Groups XXVIII and XXXIII] A load-sustaining means for aircraft capable of hovering comprises a coupling body 1, Fig. 2, attached to the aircraft, a catch 11 engaging a detachable centre 10, the detachable centre having load-carrying attachment means and retainer means for an engagement cable 8, said cable passing through the coupling body and having hauling means. The cable 8 may be attached to the detachable centre 10 by a cable retainer 9 having fingers 16 which engage the detachable centre 10. A load may be attached to the detachable centre 10 by a member 35. In operation, the load, the detachable centre 10 and the cable retainer 9 are drawn up into the body 1 where catch 11 engages below a shoulder 23. The cable 11 continues to draw the detachable centre 10 up until a reduced bore in the body 1 acts upon projections 21 of fingers 16 causing release of engagement cable retainer 9 from detachable centre 10, the latter returning on to the loadsustaining catch 11. In a modification, the cable 8 is retained within the detachable centre 10 by balls 24, Fig. 3. When an outer sleeve 28 is raised relatively to an inner sleeve 26 the balls 24 can move inwardly so that detachment of the engagement cable retainer from the detachable centre 10 can take place. When release catch 11 permits the dropping of the detachable centre 10, contact is made between the upper portion of a member 33 and a shoulder 34 on sleeve 28, causing the cable 8 to be released from the detachable centre 10. If, however, it is desired to lower the detachable centre 10 by the cable 8, then member 33 is pulled out of engagement, so permitting the lowering of the load-carrying mechanism by winch action. In the latter case, the load is limited by slipping of the winch. The detachable centre 10 may be released electrically, manually or by the touch-down of the load when the aircraft hovers over the ground. In a further embodiment, the engagement cable retainer device is similar to that described with reference to Fig. 3, but the detachable centre instead of having provision for a hook has at its lower ends means for securing it to a length of hose (see Group XXXIII).

Abstract: 803,546. Printing-machines. DE LA RUE & CO., Ltd., T. May 15, 1957, No. 15467/57. Class 100(2) Rotary machines; inking- apparatus. A rotary printing press comprises a plate cylinder carrying an intaglio plate, an impression cylinder co-operating therewith, means to ink the plate, wiping means to remove ink from the plane surface of the plate, and further means to supply ink in a predetermined pattern to the wiped surface of the plate so that the pattern is in desired register with the intagliated parts, whereby paper may be printed simultaneously with a letter press-printed design and an intaglio-printed design. The plate carried on the cylinder 1 is inked by means 4, 7. Excess ink is removed bv a driven endless belt 8 of rubberized felt, from which ink is removed by a doctor 11. The plane surface of the plate is then wiped clear of ink by three units each comprising a band 12 of calico or paper passed from a roller 13 to a roller 14, passing between the plate and an oscillating pressure member 16. The intaglio plate prints the main design on bank-notes 3 passed between it and the impression cylinder 2. Relief plates each bearing the part of a background design to be printed in one of two colours are carried by cylinders 17 and inked by means 20. 19. with ink of two respective colours. The complete design is transferred to a roller 18 covered with a resilient material, and thence to the wiped intaglio plate. The combined background and main designs are therefrom printed in three colours on the bank-notes. Alternatively, the roller 18 may contact a further cylinder supporting a relief plate of the complete background design whence the design is passed to a further transfer roller and thence to the intaglio plate. The resilient material which covers the roller 7 may be cut away at a point in register with a part of the intagliated design which it is desired to reproduce on the bank-note as an embossed impression, so that that part of the intaglio plate is not inked and the impression is obtained with a background of either of the letter-press colours.
