Abstract: 984,952. Hydraulic jacks. CINCINNATI MILLING MACHINE CO. Sept. 30, 1963 [March 4, 1963], No. 38355/63. Heading F1P. Locking of an hydraulic jack piston when under a load W unopposed by hydraulic pressure is effected by forming the piston in two parts 40, 42 each surrounding the rod 12 and having a clutch mechanism therebetween including an outwardly radially expansible member 38 actuated by means e.g., shoes 32 engaged by toggles 36 responsive to a slight shift of the rod under the action of said unopposed load W. Piston members 40, 42 are slidably mounted on a sleeve 16 extending between a ring 18 and a disc 30 secured to the rod 12, member 40 is biased towards a shoulder 52 by a spring 30 acting on a plunger 48, member 42 leaves a gap 41 between it and the shoulder-forming ring 18 and a plurality of toggles are mounted in grooves 38 in the sleeve 16. When during forward or return movement of the jack both sides of the piston are subjected to hydraulic pressure the clutch is disengaged but on relieving pressure from the underside of the piston the gap becomes closed due to movement of the rod 12 and sleeve 16, relative to piston member 42 resulting in arcuate movement of the toggles and hence engagement of ring 38 with the cylinder wall. In a modification a portion of the sleeve 66 Fig. 3 (not shown) is bevelled and serves to displace balls radially, outwardly to force a ring member against the cylinder wall.

Abstract: 1,181,553. Feeding sheets. LITTON INDUSTRIES Inc. 21 Aug., 1967 [7 Sept., 1966], No. 38499/67. Heading B8R. [Also in Division G4] In a ticket-handling apparatus tickets are conveyed from an entry area to an exit area past magnetic write and/or read heads by pairs of friction rollers which are positioned so as to force a ticket against the guide surface 56 of a guide 68 during movement through the apparatus, each plane including the axes of a pair of rollers being disposed at an angle other than 90 degrees with respect to the guide surface. One roller of each pair, e.g. rollers 33-36, is driven by a motor 15, and the other roller is yieldingly urged towards the first roller. A photo-electric device 13, 14 senses the introduction of a ticket and energizes the motor. Other photo-electric devices 51, 53 and 52, 54 sense the position of the ticket to initiate the reading and writing of magnetically encoded data on the ticket respectively by heads 44, 45. Brushes 46, 47 ensure contact between the ticket and the heads. The read and write heads are connected to a suitable control apparatus (not shown) which controls operation of a turnstile, deducts the fare from the amount encoded on the ticket and causes the remaining fare to be written on the ticket. If the amount encoded is exhausted an exit guide 57 is pivoted to cause the ticket to fall into a bin 64. A ticket which has passed exit rollers 61, 62 is held by a spring-loaded ball (63) (Fig. 5, not shown), so that the ticket can be retrieved by a passenger leaving the turnstile.

Abstract: 841,465. Cylinder printing-machines; inkribbon mechanism. ADDRESSOGRAPH-MULTIGRAPH Ltd. Dec. 1, 1958, No. 38659/58. Classes 100(2) and 100(4) In a printing machine employing individual printing plates 4 supported on an anvil and in which a printing head 6 containing an impression roller is used for pressing a carbon strip 41 against a sheet laying on the plate 4, the head has two spool spindles carrying two sideways removable spools which have hub parts 42, 43 extending beyond the width of the carbon strip and projecting from the side of the head so they can be manually manipulated. The spindles 36 each have a head 37, Fig. 4, retaining a sleeve 38 in pressure contact with a washer 39 and a domed washer 40. The sleeve 38 is knurled at 38A to form a push fit with a spool which has a flange at one end only. The hubs at the other end extend through apertures 33, 34 in the head 6 over which a similarly apertured cover is positioned. The movement of the operating handle 18 first brings the carbon strip into contact with the plate 4 and then, by engagement with a bell crank (27, Fig. 2 not shown) and the tensioning of a spring (19), causes the roller (30) to travel across the carbon strip above the printing plate.
Patent GB-387728-A (GB)
Abstract: 387,728. Calculating- apparatus. KUBLER, C., 15, Brandenburgische Strasse, Berlin. Aug. 18, 1931, No. 23233. [Class 106 (i).] The differentially-set slides of a stylus-operated adding and subtracting device carry two series of numerals arranged in opposite directions and the casing of the device has two rows of openings so arranged that the number appearing in one opening is the complement of that in the other. In Fig. 1, the invention is shown applied to the subtracting side of the adding and subtracting device of Specification 148,455, [Class 106 (i), Calculating &c.]. Additions are performed on the opposite side of the device. One of the slides is shown on the left of Fig. 7. The slides are bent at the dotted line and the lower portion forms the subtraction side. The lowest set of numerals are complementary to the set band appear at openings c. Signal sections f, for indicating the occurrence of a transfer, and a minus-sign section, are provided. When the total becomes negative, a signal section f appears before the result in the normal openings d, indicating that this is not to be read, and a minus sign appears before the result in the lower openings c, showing that this is the real negative result. In the form shown in Fig. 1, the numeral " one must be added to the lowest denomination of the negative result, but this may be avoided by making the lowest set of numerals on the right-hand slide complementary to ten instead of to nine. This modified slide is shown on the right in Fig. 7. In further modifications the slides are adapted for a device in which addition and subtraction are performed on the same side and for one in which the numerals adjacent the slots are marked on pivoted strips which can be adjusted so that the device may be used for addition or subtraction.

Abstract: 1,120,265. Machine tools details. MATRAWERKE G.m.b.H. 17 Sept., 1965 [18 Sept., 1964], No. 39694/65. Heading B3T. An advance mechanism for a tool carrier 2 of a machine tool is driven by a fluid pressure operated cylinder and piston 1, 3 and incorporates abutments 26 and fixed stops 29 that co-operate to interrupt the fluid pressure flow to the cylinder 1 when the tool carrier reaches a terminal position so that, in the terminal position, the fluid pressure force of the piston and cylinder is not carried by the stop and abutment. In operation one of a pair of electromagnets 20, 21 is operated to move the spool 12 of a spool valve 8 to allow fluid to enter one end of the cylinder and move the tool carrier along the piston 3 and rod 4 which is attached to the bed of the machine tool. When abutment 26 engages stop 29 a setting member 24 moves along a rod 23 and shuts off the valve 8 against the force of the electromagnet. At the same time a switch 32 is closed which may initiate further programmed operation, or retract the abutment 26 to enble further movement of the tool carrier in a continuing direction. In embodiments shown in Figs. 2 and 3 (not shown), advance mechanisms are arranged on the longitudinal and transverse slides of a lathe to produce a series of cutting operations on a workpiece.
