Abstract: 920,477. Forging hammers. GEBR. BOHLER & CO. A.G. July 17, 1961, No. 25808/61. Class 83 (4). [Also in Group XXVI] A control valve arrangement for the air supply to the cylinder of a compressed-airoperated forging hammer comprises a main inlet valve 2 in the air line 1 and a valve 4 connected in parallel with and having a smaller flow opening than the valve 2.

Abstract: 1,165,766. Colour television tubes. THORNAEI RADIO VALVES & TUBES Ltd. 6 June, 1967, No. 26126/67. Heading H1D. In a colour cathode-ray tube employing a shadow mask, the spacing between the centres of the holes of the shadow mask, measured along the surface of the mask, in both the radial and circumferential directions, is greater at the edge of the mask than at the centre. The increase of spacing outwards from the centre of the mask is preferably such that the spacing is substantially uniform over any small area. The shadow mask may be spaced uniformly from the tube screen, on which substantially tangential circular phosphor dots are deposited which increase in size from the centre of the screen outwards. The size of the apertures in the shadow mask may also be varied. An optical method of producing a master negative of the shadow mask with the required hole spacing is described in which a spherical photo-sensitive surface is disposed outside but touching the centre of a smaller spherical mask having a uniform pattern of apertures therein and developing a pattern on the photosensitive surface using a source of light disposed between the centres of curvature of the mask and surface.

Abstract: 297,735. Allgemeine Elektricitõts- Ges. Sept. 26, 1927, [Convention date]. Electricity, supplying by meter.-In a prepaymemt electricity meter, a cam b on a cam disc c carried by the spindle a of the outside or operating knob moves a locking pawl j pivoted to a switch releasing lever e, which is thereby moved in the direction of the arrow so that its curved end d raises an arm l and releases a switch arm f. The arm f and lever e are loosely mounted on the spindle a and are connected by a spring g which is tensioned by the movement of the lever e, so that it causes the arm f, when released, to contact with a lever m controlled by the prepayment mechanism. In this position, a switch barrel connected to the arm f closes the circuit. The pawl bears against a ring h and, when the lever e releases the switch arm, enters a gap n in the ring, thereby disconnecting the switch mechanism from the cam disc c and the operating knob. Further coins can then be inserted to advance the prepayment mechanism without affecting the switch mechanism. When the prepayment mechanism releases the lever m, the spring g brings the arm f to its initial position Engaging the arm l.
