Title: Automatic apparatus for the cutting of continuously moving tubes or bars
IPC: B23D25/06
Filed: 1935-12-23
Abstract: 471,104. Sawing. ELLIS, L. S. E. (Soc. Anon. des Usines Chausson) Dec. 23, 1935, No. 35595. [Class 145 (ii)] In automatic machines for sawing continuously-moving tubes or bars into lengths, of the kind in which the saw is mounted on a hinged parallel linkage mechanism which is operated to cause the saw to follow the longitudinal move - ment of the bar during cutting, and to return it between the cutting strokes, the movement with the bar is produced by a spring or by gravity, or both, and is controlled by means actuated by the forward movement of the bar. In the machine shown, the spindle-housing 4 of the saw 2 is suspended by parallel arms 5 and 6 from pivots 7, 8 carried by a member 11 vertically slidable in a frame 12. During the cutting stroke, the housing swings downwardly and forwardly along the arcs f<3> under the action of gravity, so causing the saw to move forwardly with the bar 1 which is being cut. Simultaneously the frame 11 descends to carry the saw through the work. Both the swinging and descending movements are controlled by cams, one (not shown) of which acts through a connecting rod 49 on the arm 6, and the other, through a sliding rod 39, connecting rod 40, and bellcrank lever 41, on the frame 11. The cams are actuated during the cutting stroke by an endless belt 24 carrying catches 25, 26, one of which is engaged by the end of the rod 1, the movement of the rod thus controlling the action of the cams and hence the movements of the saw ; as these movements are effected by gravity and merely controlled by the cams, the rod has not to exert the force necessary to produce them. On completion of the cutting- stroke, a mutilated friction gear 31 on the camshaft 29 comes into engagement with a gear 34 on the shaft of a motor 36, as shown in Fig. 4, the action of the cams being thus continued to return the saw to the starting position, when the friction drive ceases and the rod 1 again takes control. The frame 17 carrying the cams and their actuating gear is adjustable to vary the length of the cut-off portions of the work, and the rods 40, 49 are telescopic to allow such adjustment. The linkage system 4, 5, 6 may be arranged to oscillate about inclined or vertical axes, in which case the action of gravity is supplemented or replaced by spring means.

Abstract: 615,603. Lighters combined with cigarette cases. COLIBRI LIGHTERS, Ltd., LOWENTHAL, J., and MOORE, C. W. Dec. 2, 1946, No. 35684. [Class 75 (iii)] [Also in Group XVII] In an automatic friction lighter combined with a cigarette case a member on the hinged lid of the cigarette case co-operates with a member connected to the lighter mechanism so that the lighter is operated both on opening and on closing the cigarette case lid and means are provided for displacing one of the co-operating members so that the lid can then be opened or closed without operating the lighter. A pivoted spring operated cover 19 on the lighter is connected to the flint wheel 18 by pawl and ratchet mechanism and is retained in its closed position by a slidable plate 24 which is urged by a leaf spring 26 so that a hook 23 on its end engages a recess 25 in the lighter cover. The plate 24 projects through a slot in the wall between the lighter and the cigarette case, the projecting end carrying a pin 27 which engages a projection 32 on a plate 28 slidably mounted on the lid 11 of the cigarette case. On opening and on closing the lid 11 the projection 32 which has two inclined surfaces displaces the pin 27 to unlatch the lighter cover. By depressing the upper end 36 of the plate 28 against the action of a spring 35 the projection 32 fails to engage with the pin 27 on opening and closing the cigarette case lid. Operation of the lighter independently of the cigarette case lid is provided by a cam member 42 which engages an aperture 43 in the sliding plate 24 and is rotated by a thumb wheel 41 mounted on the wick tube 15. Alternatively a projection on the outer end of the sliding plate can be displaced to unlatch the lighter cover.

Abstract: 1,105,244. Microprogramme interruption. AUTOMATIC TELEPHONE & ELECTRIC CO. Ltd. 12 Oct., 1965 [4 Sept., 1964; 19 Aug., 1965] Nos. 36434/64 and 35699/65. Heading G4A. An electric digital computer with microprogramme store has provision for interrupting a microprogramme to transfer data between the computer store and external equipment. The invention is described as applied to the computer disclosed in Specification 1,105,245, in which main programme orders include a portion for addressing micro-programmes in a pre-programmed (by plugboard) microprogramme store. On receiving an interrupt call (which is effective at the end of the second phase of the current micro-order) the microprogramme selection is inhibited, the next micro-order address is transferred from the order register to a holding register, said micro-programme inhibition is released, the (wired-in) address of a microprogramme order for controlling said transfer of data is placed in the order register and after processing of this order the address of said next micro-order is returned from said holding register to said order register so that the interrupted programme may continue. The address in store to which the data is to be transferred may be set initially in a special register SR. The invention may be applied to magnetic drum stores where, after addressing the drum, programming is continued until the required address is reached when an interrupt signal is generated. The arrangement is such that transfer-in interrupt requests take priority over transfer-out interrupt requests.

Filed: 1955-12-20
Abstract: 812,159. Selective printing. INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS MACHINES CORPORATION. Dec. 20, 1955 [Dec. 30, 1954], No. 36438/55. Class 100(4) In a wire printer of the kind wherein the characters to be printed are formed by the differential setting of wire printing elements 12, Fig. 1, selected from a group by a code rod 10 settable to the character to be printed and to which are imparted a printing impact, a further check wire 14, Figs. 1, 2 additional to the printing elements is provided, also displaceable by the code rod in each of its various positions by high and low portions 20, 22 respectively according to whether or not the selected character falls into one or other of two predetermined groups. Any change from the odd or even standard adopted may be used as an indication of error. The invention is described as embodied in a printer of the type shown in Specification 729,064 in which a code rod 10, disposable to any of forty-seven positions, plus a home position, may print, under control of magnets A, B, C, D, E, F, Fig. 2, fortyseven different characters and a blank. The magnets are energized by any of six distinct electrical impulses or bits according to the code shown in Fig. 3 wherein each character is represented by a different combination of binary zeros and units. The number of impulses designating the various characters may range from one to five, and the number of control bits for the various characters are either odd or even, and a redundant bit is added when the number of bits which designate a particular character is odd. This wire 14 is used or not to control the operation of a set of transfer contacts 44 (44a, 44b, 44c) according as to whether or not the wire is displaced. If wire 14 is moved, lever 24 is moved against action of spring 28, from its normal position in engagement with stop 30, bail 40 is moved away from normal position of lever 36, while code rod 10 is still in engagement with the point wires which it has pre-set, and allows lever 36 to turn if it is not held by hook 32 on lever 24 and move a strap 44a from contact element 44b to transfer contact element 44c and to create an impulse to indicate that a redundant bit should have been present with the control impulses imparted to code rod control magnets A - F, when the bail 40 restores to permit restoration of code rod 10. An emitter 50, Fig. 2, may be used to distribute the control impulses or bits originating from a source S which may be a magnetic tape, paper tape, punched card &c. The device may be used to check the accuracy of the printer and to detect the omission or improper addition of an impulse to the control impulses, due e.g. to the failure of a print magnet, and is located as closely as possible to the platen or final machine operation.

Abstract: 1357385 Semi-conductor data stores LICENTIA PATENT-VERWALTUNGS GmbH 10 Aug 1971 [10 Aug 1970] 37568/71 Heading H3T A data storage cell has two capacitances C1, C2 charged simultaneously by the same clock pulse # through respective diodes D1, D2, and respective variable resistance devices such as F E.T.'s Q1, Q2 are connected across C1, C2. If C1 stores a negative level (1) and C2 a zero level (0), then the voltage at E (U E , Fig. 2, not shown) holds Q2 on and C2 discharged to maintain the 0, which itself holds Q1 off (U F ). A negative # pulse charges C1 and C2 through D1, D2, but before the resistance of Q1 (Rst 1, Fig. 4, not shown) has fallen as far as that of Q2 (Rst2) the clock # pulse ends. Since Q2 has still a lower resistance than Q1, C2 begins to discharge more rapidly than C1, and in consequence Q1 turns on more slowly than Q2 so as to accelerate the return to the original condition of 0 at C2 and 1 at C1. This effect is enhanced if C1 and C2 have capacitances which vary inversely with voltage (Fig. 5, not shown) as is the case with the net capacitance C1, C2 formed from the various F.E.T. capacitances associated with Q1, Q2. Capacitances C3, C4 of the diodes D1, D2 also act to assist the retention of stored data, and a capacitor C5 may be included to the same end. It is said that if C1, C2 have a direct capacitance variation with voltage (Fig. 7, not shown) which acts against the above described variation of F.E.T. resistance, their effect can be made to reverse the stored data at each clock pulse #. The clock may be applied also to the sources of Q1, Q2 (Fig. 9, not shown). The diodes D1, D2 are those associated with the functions between the drains of Q1, Q2 (2, 5, Fig. 10, not shown) and the substrate (1), to which the clock # is therefore connected (at 12). Inductive energy stores may be used.
