Title: Improvements in typewriting or like machines
IPC: B41J29/13
Filed: 1945-05-02
Abstract: 598,374. Typewriters &c. ROYAL TYPEWRITER CO., Inc. May 2, 1945, No. 11155. Convention date, June 2, 1944. [Class 100 (iv)] [Also in Group XXV] In a typewriter or like machine, an access opening in the frame is closed by a hinged door secured by a latch which prevents swinging of the door in either direction. Further, a top bood, hinged at its rear edge and a front panel hinged at its lower edge are provided, the front edge of the hood in its closed position engaging the upper edge of the panel to prevent the latter from swinging about its hinge. As shown the devices are applied to a Royal typewriter, including sidewalls 10, 10<1> and a hood 34 enclosing the mechanism. In each side wall is an opening 38 provided with a hinged door 39 having a flange 40 abutting against a lip 41 on the wall to limit its inward movement. A spring-operated latch 58 (see Group XXV) engages a V-notch in a lug 52 to secure the door in its closed position. A front panel 66 with apertures for the various operating knobs is hinged to a plate 64 fixed to the front cross-bar 16 by screws 65 which also secure the comb guide 15. The panel is secured in its normal position by spring catches 78, 79 released by a press-button 82. Its outward movement is limited by the engagement of the catch part 79 with a stop 87. To prevent rattling of the panel, the hood 34 is provided with a depending skirt 74 and latch members 75 which engage respectively the outer face of the panel and coiled springs 76 mounted on the panel. Stop members 75a on the hood rest on ledges 77 to limit its downward movement. The hinges for the doors and panel are constructed as described in Specification 598,404.

Filed: 1940-03-28
Abstract: 540,080. Securing cable ends. SINCOCK, R. J. E. March 28, 1940, No. 11203/39. [Class 109] A stranded wire or cable is secured to an abutment 1 by means of a split tapered plug 4 through which the wire is passed, the ends of the wire being turned back as shown.

Patent GB-591976-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in or relating to electric multi-channel pulse-type communication systems
IPC: H04J3/00
Filed: 1945-05-04
Abstract: 591,976. Multiplex pulse signalling. STANDARD TELEPHONES & CABLES, Ltd. May 4, 1945, No. 11452. Convention date, June 12, 1944. [Glass 40 (v)] The time-modulated pulse trains of a multichannel communication, system are each given a characteristic amplitude and subsequently, clipped at a common level so that the amplitude characteristic is converted into a width characteristic different for each channel. As shown, applied to a three-channel system, the signal sources 7, 8, 9, Fig. 1, phase-modulate pulses produced by generator-modulators 2, 3, 4 respectively from a base wave source 1, the output from which is suitably phase displaced for channels 2 and 3 by phase shifters 5, 6 respectively. The amplitudes of the pulse outputs from units 2, 3, 4 are controlled by potentiometers 10, 11, 12 respectively and they are combined in a mixer-clipper 13 to produce pulses of characteristic width for each channel. The base wave 1B, 2B, or 3B, Fig. 4, curve a, after phasing in unit 5, Fig. 2, is applied to winding 14 of transformer 15, the modulating signal from lead 20 being fed to windings 21, 22. The triodes 18, 19 acting as a full wave rectifier are fed from windings 16, 17 and produce an output waveform across resistance 23 corresponding to curve b, Fig. 4. The valve 25 clips this curve at level 37 to produce pulses such as 1, 1, curve c or 2, 2 or 3, 3 for the second and third channels respectively, the output amplitude being adjusted by potentiometer 27 to a value characteristic of the channel in question. These pulses are all clipped at the same level 38, set by the common cathode biassing potentiometer 32, Fig. 3, for individual channel valves 31 whose outputs are mixed in load resistance 33. This results in channel pulses such as 41 of characteristic width W1, W2 or W3, curve d. A further clipping in circuit 39 at level 42 accentuates the width differences, but may be omitted and provided instead at the receiver.

Abstract: 122,589. Fairweather, W., (Singer Manufacturing Co.). July 13, 1918. Seams.-Relates to ornamental seams for sewed articles in which the ornamentation is produced by an edge portion of material indented at intervals-to produce a scalloped effect as described in Specification 25547/05. In the form shown in Fig. 1, a folded strip 7 has its free edges interposed between the folded edges 3, 5 of a main body fabric 2 and facing strip 4. A line of stitches 10 secures the fabric 2, strip 4, and strip 7 together and certain of the stitches, preferably regularly recurrent stitches, pass around the exposed edge of the strip 7 and confine it as shown at 11. A second line of stitches 12 parallel to the line 10 secures the facing strip to the fabric. In another form, shown in Figs. 3 and 4, an ornamental tuck is produced by folding the main fabric 1 so as to produce upper and lower superposed layers 2', 4<1>. A line of stitches 10' secures the two layers together and certain of the stitches pass round and draw in the edge 7<1> of the fold as shown at 11'. A second parallel line of stitches 12<1> serves to secure the two layers of material and strengthen the seam. Sewing-machines; braids, ribbons, and the like, attaching; folding-devices.-A machine for mechanically producing the effect shown in the Figures comprises two needles 13 and loopers 14, guides 16, 19 for the facing strip and edging strip, a fold guide for the edge of the body fabric, grippers 21, and an edge indenter 22 with a needle slot 23. The work is fed by ordinary means which is suspended at regular intervals when the grippers are forced downwardly to grip the work, and the member 22 is advanced to deflect the edging between the grippers.

Title: Edge mounting device
IPC: B65G69/00
Filed: 1978-03-28
Abstract: Box profiles (2) are fastened on a vertical wall (1). The two edges (6) of a rubber plate (5) which are bent to form a U project into the box profiles (2). Holes (12) in which balls (13) are trapped are punched in the plate edges (6). The balls are prevented, by the box profiles, from coming out of the holes and thus form a releasable edge thickening on the plate. Forces directed against the web of the U-shaped plate, and thus perpendicularly to the wall, cannot release the edge fastening of the rubber plate in the box profile. This edge fastening is particularly suitable for use with stop seals on ramps, where vehicles are driven up against the ramp. <IMAGE>
