Title: Apparatus for apportioning molten materials
IPC: C03B19/02
Filed: 1966-07-06
Abstract: <PICT:1118364/C1/1> In an apparatus for apportioning molten materials comprising a disc-shaped upper structure 4 mounted for rotational movement above a number of containers 6 carried by the said structure, and arranged along the circumference of a circle coaxial with the periphery of the said support structure which is carried by a shaft 25, a stationary water-cooled element 10 having an inclined surface 12 which forms a cutting edge 5, co-operates with a number of guide members 8, arranged around the periphery of the support structure, said guide members being separated from one another by discharge gaps 7, and each guide member having an upper surface 9 which constitutes a cutting surface with the edge 5 of element 10. A current 1 of molten material flows through outlet 2 on to the said water-cooled element, and then impinges on to one of the surfaces of a guide member from where it passes through the discharge gap to a container therebelow.  When the container has received the required amount of molten material the structure rotates and the guide member and stationary cutting edge co-operate to divert the flow of material to the other guide surface of the guide member to thereby fill an adjacent container.

Title: Sheet feeding and registering mechanism
IPC: B21D43/02
Filed: 1959-09-08
Abstract: 881,556. Feeding sheets. HARRIS-INTERTYPE CORPORATION. Sept. 8, 1959 [Nov. 6, 1958, Dec. 3, 1958], No. 30602/59. Class 100(1) In a sheet feeding and registering mechanism wherein a reciprocating pusher type back gauge member engages the trailing edge of a sheet to register it and advance it towards a printing press, &c., a sheet gripping element is provided which is advanced with the gauge member and is actuated to grip the sheet and then move relatively to the gauge member so that the sheet is urged into intimate contact with the latter. The invention is described as applied to the apparatus disclosed in Specification 757,849 which is adapted to register metal or other sheets and feed them to a printing press, and includes preliminary means for feeding sheets to a reciprocating carriage 21, Fig. 6, carrying back gauge abutments 12, Fig. 5, and two side gauges 64, 65 adapted to move towards each other during the forward movement of the carriage. The sheet gripper 80 is shown as a sucker, but it may be a mechanical gripper; and two may be provided, one for back register, and one for side register of the sheets. The sucker 80, which is disposed forwardly of the back gauges 12 and about midway between them, is adapted to engage the underside of the sheet being pushed by the gauges 12, and has limited universal movement in a bracket 81 clamped to cross-shafts 46, 67 carried by the carriage 21. A rod 90 on the sucker has an extension 94 engaging one end of a rocker 100 adapted to be rocked from the shaft 67, which raises the sucker to engage a sheet, against the action of a return spring 107. When the sucker 80 engages a sheet, vacuum is applied thereto through a pipe 113, and the sucker is then moved towards the back gauges 12 by a vacuum actuator 114 to urge the sheet against the gauges. The actuator 114 comprises a closed chamber 119 connected by a pipe 136 to the pipe 113, and the diaphragm 115 of the chamber is connected to the sucker 80 through a spring-loaded adjustable connection including a rod 124 and sleeve 126. The pipe 113 is connected to a vacuum pump 112 of the bicycle-pump type and comprising a long cylinder 138, a stationary piston 140, and piston rod 141. The cylinder 138 is supported between tie rods 27 of the carriage 21, and the piston rod is fixed to a bracket 142 secured to stationary rods 143, so that when the carriage 21 reciprocates, the cylinder 138 moves therewith relatively to the piston 140 and creates the necessary vacuum in the cylinder 138. The vacuum in the cylinder 138, the sucker 80 and actuator 114 is destroyed when the cylinder moves backwardly to a predetermined extent by the provision of exhaust holes 146 in the cylinder. The pump 112 may be replaced by a pressure pump for operating a pressure actuator.

Abstract: 1,005,601. Tunnel-diode data-storage apparatus. INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS MACHINES CORPORATION. Aug. 10, 1962 [Aug. 28, 1961], No. 30802/62. Heading G4C. In a tunnel diode matrix the anode of each diode is connected through resistors 20, 22, 36, to the vertical, horizontal and bias lines respectively, and the cathode to a sense line 41. According to the invention read-out is by applying a negative current pulse of magnitude I 1 -I 2  (Fig. 2) to a word driver (WD) which effectively transfers the load line 47 to 47<SP>1</SP> for the duration of the pulse. If a tunnel diode were in state " A " a current pulse binary " 0 " (Fig. 4b) is sensed by the appropriate amplifier SA, whereas if the diode were in state " B " effectively no output would be sensed. Preferably the rise time of the driver pulse is an order of magnitude faster than the time width of the pulse: 4 ns. rise time to 20 ns. pulse width.
