Abstract: 568,982. Viewing devices. MARCONI'S WIRELESS TELEGRAPH CO., Ltd. Oct. 21, 1943, No. 17319. Convention date, July 9, 1942. [Class 97 (i)] [Also in Group XL] A viewing device for use in a colour television system comprises an electric motor attached by its stator to a handle and whose rotor shaft supports a disc having filter segments of different colours, together with an apertured housing for the disc supported from the handle. As shown, a hollow handle 1 having a switch 25 is attached at its upper flattened end 29 to the stator 33 of an electric motor. A motor shaft 43 carries a rotor 39 and a disc 9 composed of different coloured segments 11, 13, 15. A housing 5 is attached to the motor casing and has apertures 19 and 17 in register in opposite sides through which the screen may be viewed.

Abstract: 736,967. improving appearance of the face. BROWN, A. M. July 9, 1952 [Aug. 17, 1951], No. 17329/52. Class 81 (2). Apparatus for minimizing the effects of facial senescence comprises a pair of composite layer portions each in the form of an elastic film applied entirely as a fluid to the scalp skin and in which a tab of open mesh material is embedded, and a retractor in the form of a pair of anchoring members connected by an elastic member and each having spurs for insertion into and removal from the composite layer portions, the composite layer portions being spaced from one another away from the face by a distance greater than the normal distance between the spurs. The device comprises a pair of U-shaped anchoring members 10 carrying spurs 14 which can pierce the skin without penetrating through it, the members 10 being interconnected by an elastic band 13. One anchoring member 10 is placed on the scalp near the hairline and the other on the scalp beyond the hairline so that the facial skin is tightened by the tension of the elastic band 13. A flexible resinous adhesive film in which an open-mesh fabric, e.g. organdie, may be embedded is applied as a liquid to the areas where the spurs 14 are to be applied.

Title: Telescope cluster
IPC: G02B23/12
Filed: 1972-02-22
Abstract: 1470754 Mirror scanning system HUGHES AIRCRAFT CO 22 Feb 1972 [1 March 1971]  17451/73 Divided out of 1470753 Heading G2J A composite spinning structure 50 has two parts 53, 55, the parallel faces of which are perpendicular to the axis of spin, and has embedded in it a dichroic mirror 51 tilted at an angle relative to the axis of spin. The structure 50 includes an outer ring gear 36 via which it is driven by a motor. The dichroic mirror 51 transmits visual and  received laser radiation and reflects infrared and boresight laser radiation. An aperture 52 is formed in the centre of the structure 50 and extends through the dichroic mirror 51 so as to transmit boresight laser radiation. As shown in Fig. 9, radiation from a boresight laser 112 is transmitted through the field stop 160 and the dichroic mirror 108 of a compound prism 58, reflected from the dichroic mirror 106 and an adjustable mirror 54, and passed through the aperture 52 in the composite structure 50 on to a folding mirror 34 and then substantially along the principal axis of the objective lens 30 of the telescope being boresighted. The outgoing radiation from the lens 30 is returned by a corner prism 166 parallel to but offset from the impinging radiation and reflected by the mirror 34 on to the dichroic mirror 51 of the composite structure 50. Because the structure 50 is spinning, the image of the field step 160 rotates about the crossed sensors of an infrared detector 46 producing a signal indicative of the amount by which the radiation is off-centre to the objective lens 30. The error signal is fed to a servo controller 164 which resolves it into two components, and delivers command signals to the drive motors 94, 96 of the adjustable mirror 54 causing it to move in a direction whereby the error signal at the output of the detector 46 is reduced to zero, i.e. when the equipment is completely boresighted.

IPC: B21F3/00
Filed: 1954-06-16
Abstract: 789,805. Coiling; compressing coiled springs. HEATH SPRING & NOTION CO., Ltd. June 16, 1955 [June 16, 1954], No. 17634/54. Class 83 (4). A machine for compressing coiled springs comprises spring compressing members movable relatively towards and away from each other at a compressing station, a conveyer means adapted to advance the springs from a loading station to the compressing station, and drive means for actuating the spring compressing members and conveyer means in timed relation to effect movement of the springs into and out of the compressing station when the spring compressing members have moved relatively away from each other after performing a compressing operation. Springs, to be compressed axially to be given a permanent set, are placed on mandrels 21 projecting radially from a turret 18 rotated intermittently about a horizontal axis to carry the springs from an upper, loading, station to a horizontal, compressing, station. At the compressing station an adjustably spring-loaded sleeve 27, carried by a slide 26 reciprocated by a crank 45, moves over the mandrel 21 to compress the spring solid and then moves back. The spring is then carried round by the turret 18 to drop off the mandrel 21 or be stripped therefrom by an adjustable stripper 42 on the slide 26. The turret 18 is indexed by reciprocation of the slide 26 through pawl and ratchet and indexing means. Instead of spring-loading the compressing sleeve 27 lost-motion and frictionalcoupling means may be provided to control its movement. The mandrels 21, which may be replaceable or retractable, may have spring- loaded compressing sleeves thereon. The turret may rotate about a vertical axis. The turret or spring conveyer may be separate from the spring compressing members, but movable therebetween at the compressing station.

The cable may be connected to a rip-ring and the locking device to a static line, a time-controlled device. or a barometrically-controlled device ; similar connections may be used with the ripring and locking device interchanged. Figs. 1, 2 and 5 show parts 1 and 2 of the housing with the cable 7 attached to a rip-ring 6 carried on a harness pad 4 to which a, flexible cable sheath 3 is fixed, its other end being attached to part 1 of the housing. Parts 1 and 2 are connected by inserting tubular part 8 into socket 9 so as to be locked by teeth 10, 11 on rotation of the parts ; the spiral separating spring is contained in parts 8. and 9. Rotation to unlock the parts is normally prevented by pin 14 on. static line 15, the pin engaging in external wedge-section grooves 12, 13 of the parts 1, 2. Other forms also comprising rotatably-engaging parts are described. Other forms comprising slidably-engaging housing parts locked by a spring clip engaging grooves are also described.
