Printed records, apparatus for giving; indicating-mechanism; compound-lever apparatus. - A weighing-apparatus is provided with means whereby one part of the mechanism may be locked in order to obtain a printed record of the weight, without preventing the indicating dial from showing any change in weight of the contents of the scale pan, The scale pan 10 is supported by a lever 12 connected by links 15, 22 to levers 17, 23, the lever 23 being pivoted on a knife-edge 24. One end of the lever 17 is coupled to a spring 19, the other end being coupled to a spring 21 through the medium of the link 22. The right-hand ends of the levers 17, 23 carry rack bars 27, 28 independently operating indicating-pointers 33, 34. Each pointer 33, 34 carries a similar pointer for indicating at the other side of the scale. After the indicating-pointers have come to rest, a handle 64 is turned and this causes the rotation of a shaft 63, Fig. 3, carrying with it a cam 62 and arm 68. The cam actuates grippers 59 which hold a disk 53 having an arm 54 carrying the indicating-pointer 33. The arm 68 is coupled by a spring 69 to an arm 70 which actuates a slotted link 73, arms 57, 52, link 51, and printing sector 46. When a stop 56 comes into contact with a stop 55 on the arm 54, further movement of the printing sector 46 is arrested, the further rotation of the arm 68 being taken up by the spring 69. Adjacent to the printing sector is a stationary index type 47, an impression of which is made on the ticket at the same time as the impression from the printing sector. Fig. 13 shows such an impression. The impression is made by continuing the movement of the handle 64 whereby a cam 79, Figs. 2 and 6, actuates a platen 76 and presses a paper strip 81 and ink ribbon 82 against the printing-sector 46 and index type 47. The handle 64 and its connected mechanism are restored to their original positions by means of springs. The paper strip is drawn from a roll 85 and is fed through the slot 101 by means of rollers 88, 89 actuated through ratchet mechanism on the return movement of the handle 64. The ticket is torn off the strip against serrations on the edge of the delivery slot. In a modified construction. the balancing springs 19, 21, Fig. 2, are replaced by pendulum-levers both situated at the righthand end of the beams 17, 23.

Filed: 1975-05-23
Abstract: 1471085 Valves KARL DUNGS 23 May 1975 [30 May 1974] 22723/75 Heading F2V [Also in Division H1] A two-step solenoid valve, e.g. for a gas burner, comprises a closure disc 5 connected to armatures 12, 36 of solenoids 13, 15, the connection with armature 36 only being effective in the valve opening direction. Disc 5 is connected to armature stem 10 by pin 11 and is biased towards annular seat 4 by spring 8. To partially open the valve, solenoid 15 is energized causing armature 36 to move upwardly until surface 40 abuts a nut 39 on rod 25 whereupon armature 12 and disc 5 are themselves drawn upwardly until armature 36 abuts stop plate 49. To effect full opening, solenoid 13 is now energized causing armature 12 to move upwardly until it abuts core 17, rod 25 sliding freely through holes in the latter and in armature 36. In this position a resilient ring 50 on armature stem 10 sealingly engages a fixed ring 26. The partially open position can be adjusted by screwing member 42 into or out of sleeve 41 so as to alter the position of stop plate 49. The maximum valve flow can be set by a semi-cylindrical baffle 53 adjacent outlet port 3 and adjustable by worm 56 engaging pinion 55. Core 17 is mainly of ferromagnetic material but includes two non- ferromagnetic rings 35, 35<SP>1</SP> which concentrate the magnetic flux at desired regions. Ferromagnetic rings 31 form a magnetic short circuit between core 17 and casing 14.
