Title: Method of producing an inked ribbon cartridge
IPC: B41J32/00
Filed: 1975-10-31
Abstract: 1498970 Inked ribbon cartridges NCR CORP 31 Oct 1975 [24 Dec 1974] 45223/75 Heading B8M An uninked roll of ribbon 14, which may be of a resilient plastics material like nylon, is loaded on a rotatable reel 12 of a cartridge 10 which includes a drivable gear 44, a spring-biased serrated wheel 46 in contact with the gear 44 for gripping the ribbon 14 so as to unwind it from the innermost convolution of the roll and to wind it on its outermost convolution, and an opening for exposing a portion 54 of the ribbon 14 as it is fed from the innermost to the outermost convolution of the roll so that the exposed portion can be inked by an inking member 60 which is dipped in an ink reservoir 58. The outermost turn 24 is given half a turn in a clockwise direction before joining it to the innermost turn 20 of the ribbon 14 at the seam 25 so that each side of the ribbon will be alternately presented for use in a machine. The gear 44 is driven at a speed of 280 r.p.m. by a shaft 69 which is rotated by a gear reduction unit 70 which is operatively connected to the output shaft of a motor 72 so that the ribbon 14 is moved past the member 60 at a linear speed of approximately 0À75 metre per second. A back-up roller (not shown) may be placed behind the ribbon 14 at portion 54 in opposed relationship with the member 60 to facilitate the inking of the ribbon. The cartridge 10 may be oriented such that the exposed portion 54 lies in a substantially vertical plane or in a substantially horizontal plane in which latter case the inking member (78) is placed underneath the ink reservoir (80) with which the member (78) is in communication, Fig. 6 (not shown). The inking process is applicable to ribbon cartridge of the twin reel type or the stuffed ribbon type in which the ends of the ribbon (84) and (86) are bonded together, such as by ultrasonic bonding to produce a seam (88) which may be formed along a 45 degree angle in relation to the ribbon edge. The short ends (85) and (87) of the ribbon (82) are trimmed off and the ends (84), (86) are aligned with each other and flattened to produce a flattened seam (88) having substantially the same thickness as the ribbon (82) Fig. 4 (not shown). An alternative inking means (110) which includes any suitable conventional spraying device (112) having its spray (114) of ink directed at the exposed portion 54 may be used, Fig. 7 (not shown). The technique can be extended to ink a ribbon which employs two different colours or types of ink.

Title: Fault-finding method for coil-loaded cables
IPC: G01R31/11
Filed: 1962-12-04
Abstract: 972,847. Pulse echo cable testing. KIELER HOWALDTSWERKE A.G. Dec. 4, 1962 [Jan. 20, 1962], No. 45759/62. Heading H4D. In a method of fault finding in coil-loaded cables by means of the impulse reflection method, the measuring impulse is in the form of a damped oscillation wherein the carrier frequency of the impulses and the duration of the impulses are so chosen that no reflections take place in the loading coils. This is accomplished by adjusting the said frequency and duration so that the reduced bandwidth of the impulse falls entirely within the pass-band of the loading coils. A fault can thus be located to within one interloading coil section of the cable, wherein the preceding sections of cable can be removed and the fault found accurately by any known means. Where an impulse bridge or a four-wire circuit is used to feed the impulses into the cable, with an A-type display C.R.T., the said bridge or circuit is balanced by a termination free from reflections, to overcome the possibility of the emitted pulse, which is possibly of longer electrical length than the cable, being displayed directly on the C.R.T.

Abstract: 1287175 Impact wrenches INGERSOLLRAND CO 25 Sept 1970 [2 Oct 1969] 45832/70 Heading B3N A rotary impact wrench comprises a motor 7, a rotary impact mechanism 9 and a spindle 12, there being a resilient torsion member 17 between the impact mechanism and spindle adapted to transmit a torque load and to yield in response to said torque load, a rigid member 33 for winding and holding said torsion member to apply a predetermined preload to it preventing it from yielding further until the torque load on the member rises above said preloaded value of torque and an arrangement for creating a signal in response to further yielding of said torsion member and a valve 37 operative in response to said signal, to stop said motor. An anvil 11 has a tubular portion 15 and the inner end 18 of the torsion member rigidly connected thereto. The lower end of the torsion member is rigidly connected to the spindle 12 and has two wings 21 positioned in slots 26 of a tube 25. Tube 25 has splines 30 which are also provided with a thread 31. Portion 15 has splines 29 and there is a sleeve 33 mounted on the portion 15 and tube 25. A nut 34 on tube 25 can be moved upwardly to cause anticlockwise twisting of the torsion member 17. This twisting causes ports 23 in the member 17 to be sealed against the sides of slots 26. In operation, these ports are kept sealed until the impact load torque exceeds the predetermined preload on the member 17 which causes further anticlockwise twisting of the member thus allowing the ports 23 to be vented. This causes a signal to pass along passages 20 and 47 to valve 37 which operates to cut-off the air supply to the motor. The nut 34 can be locked to sleeve 33 and is operable by a chuck key 55. In another embodiment, Figs. 6 and 7 (not shown), the torsion member is positioned between the motor and the rotary impact mechanism.
