Title: Improvements in or relating to photographic cameras
IPC: G03B19/04
Filed: 1946-01-29
Abstract: 607,242. Photographic cameras. KODAK, Ltd. Jan. 29, 1946, No. 2859. Convention date, Feb. 6, 1945. [Class 98 (i)] A camera which may be of match-box size consists of an inner member of cuboidal form, carrying the film-chambers, objective and shutter, a cover-plate extending over the exposure frame between the film chambers, a shutter operating member extending through an end wall, and spring-retaining means pressing against an outer case of match-box cover form in which the inner member slides in a direction perpendicular to the optical axis. The inner and outer members have normally registering openings for the passage of light to the film. As shown, the inner member 6 contains film chambers 7, 8, an exposure gate 9 in alignment with an objective 0, and a shutter, mechanism 21, the whole enclosed by the outer casing 4, 5. The shutter leaf 22 normally covers an exposure opening 23 in a plate 20 on the member 6, and is actuated through a lug 24 by means of a trigger 25 mounted in the end wall 26 of the member 6, preferably in a recess 27. Film from the supply chambe 7 passes over the exposure area and is wound on to a take-up spool 29 rotated by a disc 30 attached thereto. The disc 30 has a knurled edge projecting slightly from the casing 6 and carries radial slots into which a resilient member on the outer casing clicks, the slots being so shaped as to oppose turning the disc in the wrong direction. By sliding the inner member 6 a short distance relative to the outer casing, the disc and shutter trigger may be retracted to guard against accidental contact: for this purpose the aperture 40 in the outer casing which registers with the exposure aperture 23 is made slightly larger than this exposure opening. A rear cover 14 fitting loosely in a rabbet 13 formed on the inner member 6 carries a film pressure pad 15 with a leaf-spring 17 therebetween, the combination fulfilling the dual purpose of keeping the film flat and of providing friction means to prevent the inner member from sliding too loosely.

Title: Improvements in the manufacture of glass fibres or other fibres obtained from thermoplastic materials
IPC: C03B/
Filed: 1960-01-27
Abstract: <PICT:0947861/C1/1> <PICT:0947861/C1/2> In the production of glass fibres by ejection of streamlets of molten glass from a rotating body with a number of rows of apertures in a peripheral band 5 and in which the ejected streamlets are attenuated by a high velocity gaseous current 6 projected from an aperture 4 or apertures in a surrounding annular combustion chamber 1, a combustible is introduced into the gases of the alternating current so as to produce combustion in the zone surrounding the rotating body.  The combustible may be in the solid state or a gas such as propane, butane or ethane.  As shown in Fig. 4, the high velocity alternating current 6 is produced from a mixing chamber 2 through a grid 3 to the combustion chamber 1 and the extra combustible is fed through a slot 13 to burn by injection or induction into the current 6, the slot being inclined or vertical respectively. Alternative positions for the feed of the combustible are shown as near the grid 3 and near the outlet 4. As shown in Fig. 3, a jet of combustibles is fed through a tube 9 and primary air under pressure fed through a concentric tube 10 with inducted air through annular space 11, the mixture taking solid, unburnt particles out through the aperture 4.  The metal base of chamber 1 is cooled.

Title: Automatic change speed gear
Filed: 1936-01-31
Abstract: 452,193. Change - speed gearing. ARZENS, P. J., 89, Rue de Vaugirard, Paris. Jan. 31, 1936, No. 3017. Convention date, Feb. 13, 1935. [Class 80 (ii)] Comprises change-speed gearing changeable step-by-step by a governor 36 responsive to the speed of the driven shaft 31 in which the governor at each change closes the engine throttle prior to effecting the change. The change-speed gear comprises a gear cluster 18 slidably splined on a countershaft 16 which is driven through another splined gear 15 from a pinion 14 fast on a clutch shaft 12. The cluster 18 is moved right from the low-speed position shown to second when a gear 22 is in mesh, to third when a gear 24 is in mesh, and to fourth when a lever 26<1> is struck and tilted so that a dog clutch 28 is thrown left into clutch engagement at 30 with the shaft 12. The main clutch shown is a plate clutch 10 engaged by centrifugal flyweights 5 carried by tho engine shaft 1 of a vehicle. The changeeffecting governor comprises weights 36 carried by arms 35 pivoted at 37 to a boss 38 fast on the tail shaft 31. Each arm 35 is acted on by a spring 43 and is pivoted at 39 to a shoe 40 which slides radially in a guide 41 in a disc 42 which is thus moved right as the weights 36 fly out. The disc 42 is connected by a bearing 45 to a non-revoluble carriage 46 which is connected on the one hand through springs 50 to a striker rod 49 of the cluster 18 and on the other to a rack 51 which meshes with a stabilizing-pinion 54. This pinion 54 carries lugs 52 which engage recesses 53 in the rack in gear positions of the cluster 18 in which positions also the pinion 54 is locked by a spring-pressed ball 56 engaging one of a series of notches in a disc 55 rigid with the pinion 54. As the governor weights 36 move out or in, the disc 42 is prevented for a time from sliding by the stabilizer 56. When the stabilizer yields, the carriage 46 moves but not the cluster 18, as the driving pressure on the gear teeth resists, and a spring 50 is compressed. The rack 51 in moving immediately tilts a trip lever 59 one way or the other, and this through a suitable linkage 60 closes the throttle so that the engine slows down. The pressure on the gear teeth being cased, the cluster 18 shoots over to the next gear position and is stopped thus by the stabilizer which is adjustable at 58. Speed changes may be effected directly by hand at 62. The vehicle brakes may be connected to a lever 34 which throws the gear 15 over to the left to reverse the drive. The accelerator 63 when fully released may pull a rod 69 applying the vehicle brakes.

Title: Improvements in or relating to page-printing teleprinters
IPC: B41J19/14
Filed: 1970-01-21
Abstract: 1,272,541. Selective printing. SIEMENS A.G. 21 Jan., 1970 [22 Jan., 1969], No. 3036/70. Heading B6F. In a printer having a print head carriage 4, the carriage is returned to the start of a line by a first means when the carriage has passed a predetermined point on the line and a second means when the carriage is positioned at or before the predetermined point. The first carriage return means comprises a spring F which is tensioned by letter-space movement along the line of print, a pawl 18 being disengaged from a ratchet wheel 16a to permit idling of drive wheel for a toothed belt 17 fixed to the carriage 4, under influence of a solenoid 29. The second carriage return means is employed at the beginning of a line of print when the spring F is only slightly tensioned and is identical with back space means comprising a clutch 19 engageable to connect drive from a continuously rotating printer shaft 3 to a worm 25 engaging a gear 16 fixed to the drive wheel for the toothed belt 17. Back spacing is initiated by a solenoid having a plunger 20. Letter spacing is initiated by a solenoid having a plunger 11a acting to engage a clutch 10 coupling the print shaft drive to a worm 15 to drive the belt 17. The worms 15, 25 have gaps which in their rest positions retain the worms out of engagement with the gear 16. Automatic carriage return at the end of a line is facilitated by a sensor 36 which disengages the pawl 18 from the ratchet wheel 16a when struck by a depending lug 39. Interlocks.-Back space and letter space cannot be selected simultaneously since the operation of the solenoid controlling these functions is to rock a rocker 12 in opposite senses. Switch means further prevents back space being requested at the beginning of a line. A pin 38a furthermore prevents rocking of the rocker 12 for back space or letter space while carriage return is in operation. The print head may be a linewise movable type-basket (Fig. 1, not shown) or a type wheel (not shown).

A plurality of spring-loaded slides each having a push button on one end and a plurality of cams along their length are arranged adjacently to pass through respective apertures in a plurality of spring-loaded transverse slides. Depression of a push button causes transverse movement of certain transverse slides (according to the arrangement of cams on the slide of the selected push button) to operate switch contacts for a programme sequence of a machine tool, for example. A special transverse locking slide prevents the buttons with their slides being removed from the transverse slides but overriding means is provided to permit removal so that further slides having different arrangements of cams can be utilized. In one embodiment (Fig. 10, not shown) an extra large cam adjacent each push button moves the locking slide when a button is held fully depressed and allows any other button with its slide to be removed. In another embodiment (Fig. 11, not shown) two locking slides are oppositely spring-urged such that overlapping apertures prevent the withdrawal of cammed slides therethrough unless a bladed tool is inserted against bent-up lugs or tapered recesses (Fig. 13, not shown) on the locking slides to align the apertures.
