Filed: 1973-03-21
Abstract: 1436371 Heating liquids by electricity C B ANNABLE 13 March 1974 [21 March 1973] 13472/73 Heading A4A [Also in Division H1] An electric liquid-heater comprises a metal frusto-conical vessel 2 removably mounted below a wall-mounting unit 3 having a depending electric heating element 8 surrounded by a tubular guard 25. When the liquid boils, vapour from inwards of guard 25 passes through vent 39 and is deflected up through duct 37 to atmosphere causing bi-metallic strip 36 to break the supply to element 8. Condensate drains through duct 38 which terminates in or directly above the space between guard 25 and the inside surface of the jug or vessel. As shown, bi-metallic strip 36 when operated by steam from the boiling water pushes nose 41a to push double-pole or single-pole, snap-action, manually-resettable mains supply switch 12 to its off (solid line) position. By rotating jug 2, its abutments (22) engage abutments 24 on annular flange 23 joined to the underside of a platform 7. Unit 3 has a vertically sliding member 29 with a horizontal lower portion engaging a slot 34 in jug handle 40. The upper end of member 29 engages lever 30 pivoted (at 31) and sprung at 32 or weighted. If switch 12 is moved to its on position when no jug is present or when a fitted jug has insufficient water, lever 30 bears on an extension 21 of switch 12 to move it to its off position. In use the greater part of the heat is concentrated in the lower part of the element to enable small quantities of water to be heated.

Title: Improvements in or relating to machines adapted for feeding strip material
IPC: A43D43/02
Filed: 1955-05-12
Abstract: 788,405. Feeding webs. BRITISH UNITED SHOE MACHINERY CO., Ltd. (Boston Machine Works Co.). May 11, 1956 [May 12, 1955], No. 13699/55. Class 100(1) A machine adapted for feeding adhesive strip material and for severing from it a length suitable for application to a workpiece (e.g. a shoe upper) comprises a feed wheel which engages the web, cutter means for varying the length of material to be cut, and gauging means arranged to align with opposite ends of a workpiece thereby to measure its length. As shown a tape T is carried by a roll on a bracket 54 (Fig. 1) and passes over a guide 56 to the periphery of the feed wheel 46 in such a way that the adhesive face of the tape engages the wheel. The wheel 46 is mounted on a shaft 26 journalled in side frame members 22 of the machine which also carries a shaft 24 driven through the medium of a one-revolution clutch 28 (Fig. 5) and gear train 30 from a motor 34. The shaft 24 carries a cutter 42 adapted to cut the tape as at 52 (Fig. 2). The shaft 24 carries an eccentric 94 around which is an eccentric strap 92. A ratchet wheel 80 is mounted on the shaft 26 which is actuated by a pawl 90 connected to the eccentric strap 92 through a bell crank 96, and arms 98 and 100. For the purpose of varying the distance through which the feed wheel is rotated a cam member 110 is provided on a collar 76 on the shaft 26. The cam is adjustable by means of a link 86 and is connected to a link 74 which operates a movable gauge member 66. The length indicated by the gauge member corresponds to the peripheral distance moved by the feed wheel. To reduce noise and wear on the ratchet wheel a disc 116 (Fig. 7) with a large central aperture is loosely mounted on the shaft 26. The disc is provided with recesses 118 and 124 for engagement by a pin 112 on the pawl 90, the recess 118 being low enough to allow the pawl to engage the teeth in the ratchet wheel. As the pawl begins its operative stroke the pin 112 is located in the recess 118 and the disc is turned with the ratchet wheel until a pin 136 on th disc engages a stop 132 at the end of the pawl stroke so that rotation of the disc 116 is stopped and the pawl pin rides into the recess 124 whereby when the pawl is retracted the disc is rotated back to its initial position until the pin 136 engages a second stop 134 to stop rotation of the disc 116, the pawl pin then riding into the recess' 118 and on to the cam 110. To prevent overrunning of the feed wheel a brake drum 142 is fixed on the shaft 26 adapted to be engaged by a brake shoe 144 on an arm 146 spring- biased into braking position. The arm carries a cam follower 156 which co-operates with a cam 152 fast on the shaft 24 so that as soon as the shaft 24 has completed its single revolution the cam follower 156 drops into.the recess 154 of the cam 152 to allow the brake shoe 144 to engage the drum 142.

Title: Arrangement for the control of processing of card-form record carriers
IPC: G06K13/02
Filed: 1974-03-28
Abstract: 1462397 Card reader KOMBINAT ZENTRONIK VEB 28 March 1974 [28 March 1973] 13850/74 Heading G4M A magnetic card reader has a throat (Fig. 1, not shown) receiving a card the leading end of which rests on stops 14, 15 carried on pivotally mounted arms 12, 13. The card obstructs photo-electric sensors 24, 25 which detect the presence of the card. The card is driven by rollers 3, 4, 4<SP>1</SP>, which are carried by pivotally mounted spring-loaded arms 8, 8<SP>1</SP>. The arms 8, 8<SP>1</SP> and arms 12, 13 are engaged by a cam arranged to either retract stops 14, 15 and move the rollers into an operative position or extend the stops and retract the rollers. The cam also operates contacts which indicate the position of the rollers. A solenoid 32 is operated to align cards with one edge of the reader by engaging an edge of the cards with plunger 33 which operates contacts 30 at its full extension. Cards fed past a read-head situated opposite roller 5 obstruct a photocell 26. Before a reading or writing operation signal Elo resets all flip-flops SK1-SK5. When a card is inserted light is prevented from reaching photocells at positions 24, 25 and either or both of signals FA1r or FA1l (Fig. 4) becomes 1. FA1d becomes 1 to render Al = 1 since the output of NOR2 is 0. A read or write signal KTW or KTA with signal KO set flip-flop SK2 to render KEZ=1. The inverse of KEZ via differentiator Z1 sets flip-flop SK3 to render ARM1. This operates electromagnet 32 causing the card to be aligned against a guide surface and at the end of its movement operates contacts 32 to render signal AR6=1. AND gate K4 sets bi-stable SK3 to form signal ASM via AND gate K6 to pivot rollers 3, 4, 4<SP>1</SP> on arms 8 and to move fingers 14, 15 from the card entry passage. Contacts 28 are operated by a cam on shaft 10 to form signal Ago = 0. This via NAND 1 and NOR 14 forms Ab = 1 which sets SK1. For a reading operation KTW=1. When the card passes sensor 26, FA2 = 1 so AND gate K1 supplies a "1" to AND gate K9 which with a "1" from NOR 16 renders WB=1. When the rear edge of the card passes sensors 24, 25 FA1d becomes 0 to inhibit K1 and WB becomes "0". Similarly for recording AND gate K10 is enabled by bi-stable K10 and 5 becomes 1 and recording ceases when the rear edge of the card passes sensor 26. When FA2 becomes 0, NOR 5 feeds 1 to K1 which receives 1 from NOR 2 (SK1 being set by Ab=1) A3=0 switches bistable SK2 so that KEZ = 0 and Ab becomes 0 so that stop from NOR 15 becomes 1. The card may be ejected by reversing its motion through the reader by supplying an external signal Au via inverter N1 to switch bi-stable SK4 to form signal Auf = 1. When the lower edge of the card passes sensor 26 FA2 = 1 and SK4 is reset via delay 36 and Auf becomes 0. AoM becomes 1 and the rollers 3, 4, 4<SP>1</SP> are released.

Title: Industrial fork-lift truck
IPC: B66F9/075
Filed: 1957-05-01
Abstract: 820,390. Vehicle bonnets. CLARK EQUIPMENT CO. May 1, 1957 [May 18, 1956], No. 13859/57. Class 79(3) [Also in Group XXV] A vehicle has a pair of longitudinal members 44, 46, a pair of vertical members, 58, 60 fixedly mounted on the longitudinal members and a hood 16 mounted solely on the vertical members by linkage means for rotation relative thereto. A member 88 bolted to the head at 90 and 92 is pivotally connected at 98 and 104 to a pair of links 66 and 100 pivotally connected to the member 60 at vertically spaced points while a bracket 86 rigidly attached to the hood is connected by a pair of springs 82 to an extension of the links 64. The length of the springs 82 and therefore their tendency to open the hood decreases as the latter is lifted so that the lifting force required from the operator is constant until an angle of about 30 degrees is reached when the springs counterbalance the weight of the hood. Further movement of the hood to the position shown, in which a resilient stop member 112 engages the top of a fixed counterweight 42 on the vehicle, progressively lengthens the springs by an amount equal to approximately one-half the shortening thereof. The effort required to actuate the hood in either direction is thus minimized. The linkage between the hood and the post 58 includes a bifurcated lower link 120 and may omit the springs. A load engaging fork actuated by hoist and chain means is carried at the front of the vehicle by a mast arranged to be tilted forwardly or rearwardly by hydraulic means. The front wheels are driven by an internal combustion engine 15 while the rear wheels 17 are connected to a steering wheel 18, an operator's seat being provided on top of the hood 16.
