Title: Improvements in or relating to Method of and Apparatus for making Lustrous Molded Articles as well as the Molded Article made thereby
IPC: B29C43/00
Filed: 1966-12-14
Abstract: 1,169,575. Moulding decorative articles. KOPPERS CO. Inc. 14 Dec., 1966 [15 Dec., 1965], No. 56087/66. Heading B5A. [Also in Divisions A3 and B6] In a method of moulding lustrous articles e.g. button blanks, discs of a thermosetting material incorporating lustre imparting crystals e.g. lead carbonate, are compressed so that a surface is given a concave shape. The crystals are added to the resin e.g. a polyester which is poured into a mould and subjected to vibration to orientate the crystals into planes. The resin is removed while in the gel state and blanks are punched therefrom. The blanks 2, Fig. 2, are individually located between films 24, 26 e.g. polyvinyl alcohol in recesses 22 in a loading plate 20 above mould cavities 10 into which move plungers 32 having faceted convex faces 34. The moulded articles are removed on the films and are removed therefrom. The moulding press, which is of the upstroke kind includes a lower movable platen provided with the mould cavities, a loading plate 20 and plungers carried by the upper stationery platen. To compensate for variations in blank thickness the plungers 32 may be individually spring loaded, Fig. 7 (not shown). Bottom ejector plungers acted on by a spring-loaded plate may also be provided. Examples of lustre imparting crystals and thermosetting resins other than those specified above are given.

Abstract: 1,210,933. Fasteners. A. GERHARD. 13 Dec., 1967 [14 Dec., 1966], No. 56634/67. Heading F2H. A fastener assembly for fastening a structure to a masonry support or the like 44 comprises an elongated fastener bolt 18 having a partially threaded elongated shank and an enlarged head 16, an elongated tubular sleeve 20 surrounding the shank and with one end located adjacent the bolt head, said sleeve being longitudinally slotted 23 at least along part of its length and a nut 22 having a tapered exterior surface and threaded on to said shank, said nut extending into said sleeve. The sleeve is provided with at least one projection 24 which has an end surface facing the bolt head. When the assembly is used to mount a member 41 a predetermined distance from the support 44, the projections 24 engage the rear face of the member 41 so that tightening of the bolt 18 does not bring the member closer to the support 44. A washer 26 may be provided between the end of the sleeve and the bolt head, the washer being deformed when the bolt is tightened. As the bolt is tightened the nut 22 is moved into the sleeve bore forcing the sleeve outwardly into engagement with the support 44. An insert may be provided between the nut and sleeve to ensure greater radial expansion of the sleeve.

Abstract: 1,188,048. Intermittent drive mechanisms; linkwork. NATIONAL CASH REGISTER CO. 2 Dec., 1968 [2 Jan., 1968], No. 57030/68. Headings F2K and F2Q. In an intermittent drive mechanism for a tape, paper, or document feed of a data-processing machine, continuous rotation of an input shaft 12 is combined with a cam-induced oscillation to impart to an output shaft 94 a cyclically varying rotary motion including dwell periods. A carrier 26 rotatably mounted on the input shaft 12 is driven thereby in the opposite rotational sense thereto via bevel gears 54, 40, 42, 38, the gears 40, 42 being rotatably mounted on a block 48 which is rotatably supported on the input shaft 12 and held against rotation by the engagement of trunnions (62, 64) (Fig. 1, not shown) with lugs 68 in the housing. Pairs of rockers 72, 88, pivoted to the carrier 26 on pins 74 equispaced round a common pitch circle, carry between their ends roller followers 84 for a cam disc 24 secured to the input shaft 12. Cam disc 24 and carrier 26 rotate at the same speed in opposite directions, the rockers making 32 oscillations per revolution of the input shaft, using the 16 lobe cam disc shown. The motion of the rockers is conveyed to the output shaft 94 by gear sectors 96 rigid with the rockers 88 and meshing a gear-wheel 98 secured on the output shaft, Figs. 2, 3, or by links 128 connecting the rockers 72 with a cross 126 secured on the output shaft, Fig. 5. The cam disc 24 has lightening holes 112 to reduce its inertia.

The panel shown has row conductors R1-R30 connected 'to individual pulsers RP1-RP30 and sustain supply 50, and column conductors C1-C65 connected to individual pulsers CP1- CP65, sustain supply 51 and erasing switch 53. Each character block in the arrangement shown is five columns in width by seven rows in height. Data from a source 60 is applied on lines 61 to a character generator 63 having seven output lines 64-1 to 64-7 corresponding to the height of a character block. Decode counter 65 counts to six and supplies pulses from clock 66 over lines 62 to step character generator 63 five times corresponding to the width of a character block, the six being for the space between character blocks. Normal erasure is effected by opening switch 60. The required shifting is effected by a "form feed" or bulk erasure signal or counterpart thereof generated and controlled by the addition of decode and switch circuitry 70, and counter circuits 80 and 95 to what is otherwise a conventional system.

Abstract: 1450541 Electric analogue calculating SULZER BROS Ltd 18 Dec 1973 [20 Dec 1972] 58562/73 Heading G4G A function generator provides a function expressed as a sum of terms of the form (a n0  + a n1 x+ a n2 x<SP>2</SP> ... + a nm xm)y n  where x can be a temperature signal t applied to terminal 45 and y can be a signal i representing the enthalpy of steam provided implicitly at terminal 46, the constant terms being derived by sealing a reference signal n at terminal 48. Powers of t and i are generated by repeated multiplication at 50 to 52 and 90 to 92 respectively. The expression within the bracket above is thus provided by adding the signals on the groups of wires 60 to 64. The first term, n = 0, is summed in a final adder 70 and the second and higher terms are individually summed in adders 71 to 74 whose outputs are multiplied by the appropriate power of i in multipliers 81 to 84 and thence to final adder 70 which provides a calculated value of pressure p at terminal 47. This is compared with a measured pressure in an integral action controller 14<SP>1</SP> which adjusts the implicit value of enthalpy i so that the pressures are in agreement. A measure of of enthalpy can then be taken from terminal 46.

Abstract: 1333119 Flanging; feeding metal sheets MARVIN D SHAFFER CO Inc 18 Dec 1970 [19 Dec 1969] 60310/70 Headings B3E and B3W A machine which automatically moves sheets so that their trailing edges lie at a predetermined rearward position on the machine bed includes apparatus for moving the sheets out of the machine, the apparatus comprising sheet pushing means 34, slidably mounted to move in use in the path of the sheets between a position behind the predetermined rearward position and a position downpath therefrom, for receiving pushing forces from a sheet 22 moving through the machine and for pushing downpath a sheet 20 whose trailing edge lies at the predetermined rearward position. When the sheet 22 is fed into the roll flanging machine and reaches the position shown in Fig. 1, the leading edge of the sheet 22 contacts the rearward face 46 of the ejector 34 to move the latter until its forward face 56 contacts the trailing edge of the preceding sheet 20. The ejector pushes the sheet 20 until the latter falls off the bed 12 whereupon a deflector 50 contacts a pin 48 on the ejector and moves the pin and ejector to a position beneath the sheet 22. The ejector is then returned by a spring 54 to its initial position where it remains depressed until the sheet 22 has passed by the forward face 56 of the ejector. The ejector is then free to move up under the force of a spring so that it is again in the path of sheets moving through the machine. Guides 110, 120 are used to prevent a sheet from riding over the faces of the ejector 34 and from turning to either side. In Fig. 1, the apparatus is duplicated to allow two sheets to be flanged simultaneously.
