Abstract: 1348027 Electric distribution systems for vehicles; direct connections CARROZZERIA PININFARINA SpA 19 April 1971 [12 Feb 1970] 21600/71 Headings H2E and H2H [Also in Division H1] The number of electrical conductors in the wiring harness of a vehicle is minimized by constructing the harness in the form of a flat plastic covered cable having a plurality of control leads and a single power lead, the electrical switching devices in the vehicle being connected between the power lead and the vehicle loads and controlled by signals in the control leads. A vehicle electrical distribution system comprises a centrally situated printed circuit board one track 12 of which is connected to the battery 10 of the vehicle. The track 12 is connected directly to an auxiliary track 56 and to an earthed track 52 by way of a potential divider 23, 23a, whereby a track 24 is placed at a potential of, say 5 volts, which potential is transferred to tracks 30, 32, 34 by way of switching devices 25, 27, 28. The track 12 is connected to power leads 16a, 16b and the tracks 30, 32, 34 to control leads 18a, 18b; 20a, 20b; 22a, 22b respectively, the power and control leads being encased in a flexible plastic material to form a flat cable taken to the front of the vehicle on either side therof. The track 56 is also connected to power leads 58, 62 and a further track 76 connected to control leads 68, 74, the leads 58, 68 and 62, 74; together with any other neccessary control leads also being formed into flat cables which are taken to the rear of the vehicle and along the centre thereof. The power leads supply various loads on the vehicle such as headlamps, side lamps, braking lights, the switching operations of which are carried out by transistors. The switching transistors are arranged so that the emitters thereof are in contact with the power leads of the flat cable and the bases in contact with the requisite ones of the control leads, the connections being made by placing the transistors on the flat cables so that the emitters 308 (Fig. 4) are above the power lead and the base 310 above the relevant control lead and pressing the transistor down so that the emitter and base pins penetrate the plastic cover of the cable to make contact with the embedded leads. Thus by signals on the control leads the desired loads on the vehicle may be energized. Operation of the vehicle brake pedal closes a switch 90 whereupon a transistor 82 becomes conductive to energize a brake light 84. Operation of the hand brake closes a switch 86 thus energizing an indictating lamp 88. A transistor 51 is provided which ensures that should the main beam headlamps 42 be energized, the dipped beam lamps 44 are also energized. Indicating lamps are provided to indicate operation of the side lights and main beam head lamps.

Title: Improvements in sheet feeding and registering devices for printing presses
IPC: B41F3/20
Filed: 1922-04-11
Abstract: 205,036. Marks, E. C. R., (Miehle Printing Press & Manufacturing Co.). April 11, 1922. Sheet-registering devices; sheet-carriers. - Sheets are fed to the grippers of the impression cylinder of a printing-press, such as a vertically reciprocating cylinder which coacts with an oppositely moving vertical type bed, by means of a feed or transfer table which has a dipping forward motion to register the sheets against the stems of the grippers, and consists in so constructing and mounting the stems of the grippers that radially extending portions of the grippers may be brought into position to engage the front edges of the sheets for registration purposes, or the stems may be set so as to be out of action, so that the operator can select the require'd stems to be used for registering the sheets, and this registration is thus effected by point registration. The transfer table is carried by oscillating arms which are so mounted as to limit the movement of the table for registration, and also to prevent lateral movement. As shown applied to a machine as described in Specification 203,732, [Class 100 (ii), Printing processes &c.], the transfer table 85 is carried by pivoted arms 87 which are mounted in a vertically reciprocating frame 13 carrying an impression cylinder 14. The table 85 receives the sheet when in the dotted line position, Fig. 1, and as the frame 13 descends a spiral cam operated by a gear wheel on the cylinder oscillates a. shaft 92 provided at each end with arms 91 having flexible connections with the arms 87, so that each arm 87 is rotated Independently to rotate the table 85 to the position shown in full lines. Each arm 87 is arrested independently by a stop member 100 en the cylinder carriage, and tongues 98 on the arms engage grooves in the stop member 100 to prevent. lateral motion of the table. The sheets are registered against the stems 72, Fig. 4, of radially moving grippers, the heads 71 of which grip the registered sheets against a gripper bar 15. The grippers are raised to open them by oscillating fingers 19. As shown in Fig. 5, the ends 76 of the grippers are wedge-shaped and they are received in a similar recess 77 in the fingers 19. The heads of the grippers are slotted to receive a screwdriver by which they can be rotated half a revolution so as to bring the rounded part of the gripper 72 in position to register the sheet, or to bring into this position the recessed parts 73 of the grippers which are not required to be in operation. By this means the sheets can be registered against any desired pair of grippers. In a modification, the grippers are arranged to be set in either of four positions, one in active and the other three active positions. The stems 72 are in this case fitted with radial projections at different distances from the axis, so that sheets can be registered in one of three positions.

H., Victoria Works, Water Lane, both in Leeds. July 31, 1931, Nos. 21954 and 21955. [Classes 100 (i) and 100 (ii).] In a rotary web-printing press having a number of electrical contacts distributed along the path of the web whereby, upon breakage of the web, electro-magnetic devices are rendered operative to control various elements of the press, the circuits of the electro-magnetic devices are closed by a relay in circuit with the webcontrolled contacts. The contacts shown in the Figure comprise fixed studs f and spring- pressed studs f<1> on opposite sides of the web b, the studs being arranged in a low-voltage circuit which includes a relay coil g. This circuit may be supplied by a battery or from the mains h through a resistance arranged at h<1>. Upon breakages of the web, this circuit is completed and the coil g energized to close circuits from the mains h through solenoids e, t<2>. The solenoid e is adapted to operate a device for gripping and tearing the web before it reaches the impression cylinders to prevent a " winder." This device may comprise an arm a<1> fixed to a shaft a and carrying a bar a<2> provided with a rubber insert a<3> adapted, when the shaft a is turned by an arm a<4> connected to the core e<1> of the solenoid e, to grip the web against a fixed bar c. In a modified form of gripping device, the arm a<1> is moved to gripping position by a spring normally held inoperative by a catch which is released by the solenoid. The solenoid t<2> serves to throw the ink-distributing rollers out of contact with the inkdistributing drum by closing a clutch s<3>, s2 on the shaft s of the distributing drum to turn, through chain gearing s<1>, q<9>, q<8>, a shaft q<4> operatively connected to the frame supporting the distributing rollers. The movement of the shaft q<4> is arrested when the distributing rollers are tripped by means of a cam q<6> which acts upon a lever v<2> to open a switch v<1> in the circuit of the solenoid t<2> and allow the clutch s<3>; s<2> to be opened by a spring t<3>. The movement of the shaft q<4> may also render the ink-fountain roller inoperative in the manner described in Specification 363,745. The relay coil g may also be adapted to close or open. contacts l in the circuit of the press-driving motor to stop the press, and may also close other circuits containing solenoids for applying a brake to the web-supply roll of the press and for tripping the impression cylinders. The web-controlled contacts may comprise, instead of studs f, f<1>, a roller on one side of the web and a co-operating spring-pressed roller or spring tongue on the other side of the web.
