IPC: G06F7/22
Filed: 1954-04-26
Abstract: 763,830. Electric digital-data-storage apparatus. STANDARD TELEPHONES & CABLES, Ltd. April 26, 1954, No. 11970/54. Class 106 (1). Storage equipment for intelligence in electrical form comprises a number of stores each capable of storing a related set of signals by means of a temporary reversible change in condition of a storage medium, the set of signals including an identification signal or signal group and an information signal or signal group; recording means associated with said stores and adapted to store intelligence in said stores; reading means associated with said stores and adapted to scan intelligence stored in said stores; control equipment for registering any one of a number of identification signals or signal groups; a comparator for comparing an identification signal or signal group read from a store with an identification signal or signal group from said control equipment to determine whether there is a predetermined relation between them; and means for performing a further operation in respect of the information signal or signal group in a store whose identification signal or signal group has been found to have the said predetermined relation with the control identification signal or signal group. The apparatus described enables the total charge payable by each of 100 telephone subscribers to be computed from a register of all the calls made by the subscribers, the register being a track on a magnetic drum in each sector of which is recorded the details of one call. Each track section, Fig. 2, contains three groups of four digits for recording, in a binary-decimal scale, the subscriber's number and the call fee, and a spare digit position used for a reset pulse. To each of 100 gates is applied two inputs, one from a 100-stage counter chain and one from one of the 100 outputs of a staticisor-tree arrangement for the " identity " digits. The counter chain advances one stage at the end of each revolution of the drum and the staticisor-tree is cleared as the " reset " digit of each track section is read. During the first revolution of the drum, every time a track section relating to subscriber 1 is read the output from the tree passes through gate 1 (not shown) and is used to gate the following " fee " digits to a computer, and during revolution 2 every time a section relating to subscriber 2 is read the output from the tree passes through gate 2 (not shown) and is used to gate the following " fee " digits to the computer. This cycle is continued and after 100 revolutions it will be possible to obtain the total charge for each subscriber. Specification 763,828, [Group XXXIX], is referred to.

IPC: B67C3/26
Filed: 1936-04-28
Abstract: 474,301. Filling nozzles. CHERRYBURRELL, Ltd., and RODGERS, F. April' 28, 1936, Nos. 12086, 25643, 25646, and 25999. [Class 125 (ii)] A filling - nozzle comprises a vent tube which is closed at its upper end when the receptacle is removed, so as to prevent liquid draining out of the tube. A bulk supply tank 4 has a liquid supply tube 3 carrying a spring- loaded sleeve 1 having a sealing member 2 for the mouth of the receptacle ; concentrically within the supply tube, a vent tube 8 carrying a valve seat 9 for cooperation with the sleeve 1 and a stop 17 to limit its upward movement. When a receptacle is placed in filling position, the member 2 is raised against the spring 5, and the vent tube is also raised under the influence of the spring 12, further movement of the member 2 lifts the sleeve 1 off the seating 9 and allows liquid to enter the receptacle. The upper end of the vent tube 8 is perforated and the end is sealed by a cap 13, the end of the tube is thus airtight until it is raised to expose the perforations. Other arrangements for keeping the upper end of the vent tube airtight until it is raised are described.

Abstract: 166,748. Chambers, T. May 3, 1920. Straightening. - A machine for straightening metal beams, joists, girders, &c. consists of four pressure-blocks arranged in oppositelydisposed pairs in staggered relationship, so as to avoid the necessity for turning the beam. Either of the outside blocks may be rendered inoperative. In the form shown in Fig. 1, the bed G carries a pair of screw-adjusted bearing blocks a, A and a pair of hammer blocks E, E<1>, the block E<1> being mounted on a pivot c so that it may be turned round out of operation when the blocks a, A, E are being used, and the block a being withdrawn out of operation when the blocks E, A, E<1> are being used. The block E<1> may be fixed, in which case the block a is run forward sufficiently to ensure that the work will not come in contact with the block E<1> during straightening. A duplex machine is shown in Fig. 2, the hammer blocks E, E<1> being carried by a reciprocating table H and the blocks a, A being adjustable on the bed G. The blocks E<1> may slide in dovetail grooves j in the table, and may be raised out of operation through cords l passing over pulleys m and provided with balance weights k, stops being preferably provided to prevent complete disengagement.

A crank-shaft 3 is driven intermittently from a constantly driven shaft 24. Stepped bevel wheels 25, 26 mesh bevel wheels 9, 13 on hollow shafts 27, 28 to drive them at speed ratio of 3: 1 respectively. Shaft 27 carries a pawl 12 engageable with a tooth 8 fast with a crank disc 4 of the shaft 3. The hollow shaft 28 carries a cam 14 engaged by a follower roller 15 connected by a two-arm lever 16 (which is pivoted at 17) to a roller 19 which, when roller 15 is displaced by a swell of the cam, contacts a tail of the pawl 12 to disengage it from the tooth 8 and thus discontinues the drive of shaft 3. A member 20 associated with the roller 19 applies a brake (Fig. 7, not shown) to station the shaft 3. The pawl release and brake mechanism is duplicated at the opposite side of the shafts, and thus for half a revolution shaft 3 rotates with the shaft 27, followed by a dwell during a complete revolution of the shaft 27, and so on.

Abstract: 565,362. Making paper bags. ROBINSON, Ltd., E. S. & A., DAVIES, K. W., and NICHOLAS, J. July 27, 1943, No. 12217. [Class 94 (ii)] In a machine for making paper bags from a web 44, the gumming apparatus 10.. 14 is movable laterally in accordance with irregular lateral movements of the web, to keep the line of adhesive straight. In one form, a pair of electric contacts 40, 41 are carried by a bracket 30, 31 adjustably mounted on an internally-threaded sleeve 16 on a threaded rod 19 adapted to be rotated in either direction by an electric motor 28. One contact 40 is normally insulated from the metal roller 43 by the web 44, while the other 41 is in contact therewith, and in this position no current passes to the motor. If the web moves laterally so as to allow 40 to contact 43, the motor is energized and rotates 19, so that the sleeve 16 with the gumming apparatus thereon is moved in the same direction. If the web moves in the opposite direction so that 40 and 41 are both in contact with it, the motor turns in the opposite direction and moves 10 in the same direction as the web. In another form, light rays, normally interrupted by the web, control 28, in another a suction pump control a pair of electric contacts, or a pair of opposed ratchets on 19, in another, a pair of slidable discs engage the edges of the web and energize contacts.
