Title: Improvements in or relating to paper-gumming machines
IPC: B05C1/16
Filed: 1956-06-01
Abstract: 806,932. Coating webs. CHARFA S.A. June 1, 1956 [June 3, 1955], No. 17076/56. Class 140. A machine for forming a strip of adhesive or paste on a moving sheet or web of paper at a constant distance from one edge of the sheet or web comprises a driving-shaft, an annular pasting or gumming member, means associating said annular member with said driving-shaft to rotate rigidly therewith and simultaneously permitting an easy sliding longitudinal movement of said annular member with respect to said shaft, and mechanical means including a member maintained in engagement with the said edge of the paper sheet or web and controlling the longitudinal movement of the annular member relative to the longitudinal axis of the shaft in response to the location of said edge. As shown in Figs. 2 and 3 the pasting device consists of a shaft 16 having longitudinal grooves 18 and keyed to a hub 17. Balls 19, running in grooves 18 are held therein by metal lugs 20 which are connected to the pasting disc 5. This disc is supplied with paste by roller 6 running in a trough. Pin 9 engages the edge of the paper band 2 and any movement of this edge is transmitted by a system of levers and shafts 10-15 to the pasting disc, the ball-bearings 19 ensuring easy movement of the disc along the shaft. Several sheets 1 of paper may be pasted together before coming in contact with the disc 5.

Abstract: 1,015,443. Tractor power lift mechanisms. FORD MOTOR CO. Ltd. April 23, 1964 [May 1, 1963], No. 17084/63. Heading A1P. For draft control in a tractor power lift mechanism an upper link 3 moves when in tension or compression against the action of a double-acting spring 23 to control a push rod 37 operating a lever 59 connected to a hydraulic fluid control valve 77. The upper end of lever 59 can be moved by a manual control 67 and the push rod 37 has a spring 53 biasing a fork-member 52 which engages a pin 57 on the lever 59. The spring 53 is strong enough to render the push-rod 37 and fork-member 52 rigid in normal operation but allows the forkmember to be moved along the push-rod when the hand lever 67 is moved to the transport position whereby, in this position, movements of the push-rod due to movements of the upper link 3 are not transmitted to the lever 59. A pin 113 on lever 59 engages in a recess of the operating rod 103 of the ram 83 so that as the transport position is reached the lever 59 is moved by the rod to return the valve 77 to the neutral position.

Abstract: 463,686. Launching torpedoes. PAINE, H. SCOTT-. June 20, 1935, No. 17755. [Class 9 (ii)] A torpedo 10, Figs. 1 and 3, is held on an inclined slipway 15 on a vessel by a latch 20 or other releasable means adapted to be operated by the speed controlling device of the vessel, so that the latch is released at the same time as the vessel is accelerated positively or negatively, whereby the inertia of the torpedo causes or assists its launching movement down the slipway. As shown, the slipway is provided with two pairs of rails 13, 14 of different gauge for wheels 11, 12 on the torpedo, and with keeper rails 22 over the wheels. An extension slipway 18 with corresponding rails is hinged at 19, so that it can be swung overboard to align with the slipway 15. The rails 13, 14 end at different distances designed to release the front of the torpedo first, to facilitate the submersion of the torpedo. The latch 20 is thrown off by a spring when released by a detent pulled by a cord 21 connected to a lever 27, Fig. 4, adjacent the throttle lever 28 of the vessel. A pin 29 may be set to couple the two levers together when the torpedo is to be launched. The expulsion of the torpedo down the slipway may be helped by rubber cords or steel springs attached'to a cap engaging the inboard end of the torpedo.

Patent GB-1429221-A (GB)
Title: Apparatus for providing an optical system using adaptive holo graphic components
IPC: G02F1/05
Filed: 1973-04-13
Abstract: 1429221 Optical reader RCA CORPORATION 13 April 1973 [24 April 1972] 17798/73 Heading G4M [Also in Divisions H3 and H4] An optical beam deflector comprises a polarization switch 110 which sets an incoming plane polarized beam into one or other of two orthogonal polarization directions and an electro-optic device 112 whose index of refraction along the C-axis is determined by a hologram stored in the device. The incoming beam may be transmitted directly towards a detector array or may be deflected towards a detector array 22 depending on the control signal 111 applied to the polarization switch; when the beam polarization is parallel to the C-axis it is deflected, but if the polarization is switched the beam is directly transmitted. A second electro-optical device 114 also carrying a stored hologram is located in the direct light path from device 112 and has its C-axis perpendicular to that of device 112. Residual light of incorrect polarization is prevented from reaching the detector arrays by analysers 120. The devices 112 and 114 may be formed of crystals, such as LiNbO 3  or Ba 2 NaNb 5 O 15 , or another material, such as an organic material. A lensing system 128 causes the desired hologram to be initially formed, through a beam reflected from an object or transmitted through a transparency of an object may be used. The nature of the holograms causes a change in the wavefronts such that multiple focused beams A, B, C and E, F, G are formed. The stored holograms in the crystals are preferably set by heating, e.g. by a current of air which holds the crystals at 100‹ C. for 30 minutes. Erasure prior to re-recording may be achieved by flooding the crystals with light while at 100‹ C., or by raising the crystal to 300‹ C. Multiple holograms may be recorded by changing the angle of incidence of the object beam in which case multiple deflected beams are obtained. Several deflectors may be cascaded. Apertured cards 118 and 124 are located in front of the detector arrays which thereby function to provide outputs when a predetermined number or combination of beams pass through the cards. Light for the system is obtained from a source of polarized coherent light 102, e.g. a laser, the beam 104 from which impinges on beam-enlarging optics 106 which may comprise a beam expanding lens followed by a collimating lens. The card may be an identity card having predetermined openings. The detectors produce an output when a predetermined number of beamlet rays A, B, C or E, F, G pass. The detector may form a one dimensional or two dimensional array. Cards can be alternately read at the two positions.
