Title: Method and apparatus for attaching a hook assembly to a fabric or garment
IPC: A41H37/02
Filed: 1979-05-14
Abstract: A method and apparatus for attaching an element H provided with prongs to a back-plate employ a die to which the pronged element is attached, an assembly which supports the backplate, and means for causing relative closing movement between the die and the assembly. The assembly includes a blade element 1, a plate 2 attached to the blade element, a pressure element 3 and means biasing the blade and pressure elements apart. The plate has one or more apertures 14, 15 to receive the or each back plate, the plate aperture being positioned over a corresponding aperture 11, 12 in the blade element. The aperture in the blade element has chamfered side edges 13 for deflecting the prongs when the die is closed on the assembly. This causes initial deflection of the prongs. Further deflection of the prongs, to secure the pronged elements to the backplate is achieved by means of an upstanding portion of 10 the pressure element 3 which is received within the aperture in the blade element. <IMAGE>

Title: Dual brake circuit control valve assemblies
IPC: B60T8/28
Filed: 1980-01-09
Abstract: A control valve assembly for a dual circuit braking system has a valve (14) controlling the pressure in the circuits (A) in response to the outlet pressure of a valve (9) in the circuit (B). In order to ensure substantially equal braking pressures in the circuits, a pressure equalizing piston (24) is provided which is free floating in a bore (23) interconnecting outlets (10,15) of the valve assembly. The braking pressure can thus be equalized even after closure of the valves (9,14). One valve (9) is preferably inertia-responsive. On failure in the circuit (B) a differential area piston (27) in the end wall of a tandem master cylinder (3) opens, through the equalizing piston (24), the valve (14). <IMAGE>

Title: Method of, and getter arrangement for, maintaining a vacuum in a container
IPC: H01J7/18
Filed: 1980-01-11
Abstract: In order to prevent foreign gas from accumulating in the vacuum space of a container by microleakage etc., so-called getter substances are used during evacuation. This is usually effected by means of a complicated getter activation apparatus, by which the getter materials are activated in the vacuum part. The object of the present invention is to provide a method of getter activation which can be performed without great cost. For this purpose, it is proposed that the getter substance is activated by local heating. Thus, the getter substance is received in a tube and is activated by means of a heater element provided on the outside of the external container. Due to this simple arrangement, there is no difficulty, even at a later time, in effecting re-evacuation of the vacuum space by local heating of the getter substance. <IMAGE>

Title: Device for damping the oscillations of rotary components of printing mechanisms
IPC: F16F15/14
Filed: 1980-06-06
Abstract: A mechanism which applies ink to selected portions of a running paper web preferably has an imprinting roller and a counterroller. The web travels through the nip of these rollers, and the protuberances at the periphery of the imprinting roller receive ink from a trough by way of a withdrawing roller which dips into the supply of ink in the trough and a transfer roller which delivers a film of ink from the periphery of the withdrawing roller to the protuberances of the imprinting roller. At least the imprinting roller is hollow and confines a dynamic damping system 16 whose natural oscillation frequency is attuned to that of the roller so that the system damps any oscillations of the imprinting roller when the mechanism is in use and prevents the roller being lifted from the running web. Additional damping system or systems can be installed in the counterroller, withdrawing roller and/or transfer roller. <IMAGE>

Title: Anti-skid braking systems for vehicles
IPC: B60T8/36
Filed: 1980-08-11
Abstract: Various braking systems are described in which fluid is dumped by a dump valve (16) to a self-contained reservoir on the occurrence of a skid signal, and in order to re-apply the brakes (5) fluid is pumped back from the reservoir space (10') to the wheel brakes on termination of the skid signal. The reservoir space is bounded by a piston (10) which is biassed by a spring (13), and the piston is also arranged to operate a cut-off valve (9;58) in the brake circuit during retraction of the piston on dumping of fluid. In some arrangements the piston acts as the spool of a spool cut-off valve, but in one arrangement (Figure 9) the side wall (61,62) of the piston is formed with a cam surface which operates a separate cut-off valve member (58). <IMAGE>

Title: Digital movement controller for automatic multi-axis machines
Inventor: MAYNARD LENARD JOHN
IPC: G05B19/414
Filed: 1981-07-23
Abstract: In a multi-axis machine tool, welder, sprayer, or robot, the spatial position of the machine depends upon the contemporaneous positions of its several axes. Each axis (8 to 13) is moved by an actuator and its movement is monitored by a transducer electrically connected to an individual control module including digital data processing means that repeatedly determines the distance through which the axis has moved, compares the position of the axis with an interim target position and supplies a control signal to the actuator to cause it to move to a required direction and velocity during the next time period until the axis has reached its final target position. A central controller supplies target positions to the several control modules through a common data highway to bring about required axis movements.   <IMAGE>
