Heading C7B. An electrically conducting support for suspending an article to be coated, e.g. with paint, resin or rubber, by electro-deposition comprises a detachable member for bringing the article into electrical contact with a selected area of the support, coating of the selected area being prevented when the support is submerged in electrolyte. The detachable member 3 may be C-shaped Fig. 2 and of spring metal with a pointed tip 4 located within a cavity 2 in the undersurface of the hook-shaped support 1, electrolyte being prevented from filling the cavity by air or other gases trapped therein; the article to be coated is suspended in contact with flat surface 5 of the member 3. The detachable member may be a steel disc 8 Fig. 3 held in contact with the support 6 by magnetic attraction, e.g. over a magnet 7 let into the support's upper surface, thus preventing its coating.

The pulses are fed to a forwards-backwards counter 27 with output terminals 11-18 which are pulsed in turn as forward pulses are received until after all have been pulsed a supply interrupting circuit 19, 20 is operated.  The terminals 11 to 18 are connected to an OR gate 26 which drives a generator pulse 10 having a set frequency and providing backward pulses to the counter 27. As long as the frequency of the pulses of the convertor 6 is smaller than the frequency of the generator 10 a constant on/off condition arises at the terminal 11 and the other terminals 12-18 are not energized. When the frequency of the converter 6 exceeds that of the generator 10 the terminals 12-18 are energized in turn at a rate dependent on the frequency difference until as terminal 18 is pulsed the circuit 19-20 is operated and a restoring arrangement 21, 8, 23 resets the converter 27. A position indicator (Fig. 2, not shown) may be connected to the counter 27 and a threshold trigger device may be provided to switch off the device at a set overcurrent value. The counter 27 may receive the operating pulses from both the converter 6 and generator 10 at the same terminal (7<SP>1</SP>) if a direction signal is provided at a further terminal (9<SP>1</SP> Figs. 3, 4, not shown). The OR gate 26 may be replaced by a stepped value resistor.

Abstract: 1,087,970. Date indicators. HAMILTON WATCH CO. Sept.30, 1966 [Oct.29, 1965], No.43901/66. Heading G3T. A calendar timepiece comprises a continuously rotated calendar ring 12 having date indicia 20 thereon, a shutter 43 having a window 56 overlying a portion of the calendar ring and a cam 84 which moves the shutter in synchronism with the calendar ring during each-24 hour period. An hour wheel 14 is coupled to an intermediate gear 28 by a calendar drive pinion 26 and an intermediate pinion 36 meshes with a calendar gear 38. A calendar pinion 42 is attached to the gear 38 and meshes with teeth 16 to drive the calendar ring 12. The cam 84 is attached to the staff 30 of the pinion 36 and the gear 28 and the outer surface 82 of the cam rotates the shutter 43 about a pivot 44 so that the window 56 follows the movement of the visible date indicium. Just before midnight, however, the stop portion 78 of the shutter cam surface 80 slips over the sharp edge of the cam surface 82 and a spring 70 engaging a pin 76 urges the shutter upwards so that the window coincides with the next date indicium. In order to set the hands and rotate the dial ring in either direction, a setting stem 68 is pulled outwards so that a pin 90 engaging a groove 88 in the inner portion of the stem rotates a lever 94 about a pivot 96. A pin 100, attached to the lever, presses against the shutter to move the cam surface 80 out of engagement with the cam 84 thereby freeing the shutter mechanism from the watch drive and allowing the calendar ring to be rotated in either direction.
