Title: Improvements in cigarette delivery machines
IPC: G07F11/02
Filed: 1929-12-11
Abstract: 344,924. Coin-freed article delivery apparatus. WOOLLIN, H., Lormont, Blenheim Road, North Harrow, Middlesex. Dec. 11, 1929, No. 38005. [Class 27.] Articles stored in bulk.-Single cigarettes are pushed endwise through a hole in the front of a cigarette delivery machine, such hole forming the mouth of a head painted or modelled on the machine. Suction is then applied to the cigarette while it is being lit, a match for that purpose being also delivered by the machine, which may be coin-freed, or operated by moving a lever or the like. By pulling out a bar 3, Figs. 1 and 6, a pin 33 actuates an arm 34 to rock a quadrant 38 against the action of a spring 73 until it is held by a pawl 39. An arm 36 on the spindle 35 of the quadrant moves a cage 42 over a twisted vertical shaft 40, rotating this shaft which, through a ratchet wheel 52 and levers, moves a drawer 7 to transfer a cigarette from a magazine 6 to a carriage, Fig. 4, where it rests on a spring 65 connecting two jaws 64 and in a groove 68 in a block 67. As the drawer moves back, a projection 9 thereon operates levers 55, 57 to move a tubular casting 59, Fig. 4, forward causing the jaws to grip the cigarette and the flaring mouth of the casting to engage and push it through a hole 2 in the front plate 1. Catches 69 engage shoulders 74 on the jaws to hold the casting 59 in its forward position with the cigarette projecting from the hole 2. A push-button is then pushed in to release the pawl 39, and, during the return of the quadrant 38, a second arm 37 on the shaft 35, through a sliding cage 45, rotates a twisted shaft 44 to actuate a piston 75 and suck air through the cigarette while a light is applied to it, the suction device being connected to the tubular casting 59 by a tube 60. The smoke is discharged through a pipe 76. When the lighted cigarette is withdrawn, the spring 65 pulls the jaws 64 together thereby releasing the catches 69 and allowing the casting 59 to be pulled back to its original position by a spring. The Provisional Specification describes a modified form having a hand-lever, which may be coin-freed and which winds a clockwork actuating the delivery and suction mechanisms. The cigarettes and matches are delivered one at a time from bulk by grooved rollers, the cigarette to a sliding carriage which pushes it out endwise and the match to the outside of the casing. Delivery of articles cut from strips.-An arm 12 on the drawer 7, during its forward movement, rocks a knife 15 to cut off a match from a match strip. The matches are arranged in staggered relationship on the strip, as shown in Fig. 8, and are engaged by pawls 22, 23 which feeds the strip through the space of one match when the drawer 7 is moving back. Coin action, mechanical-connection.-The bar 3 is normally locked by a detent 27 engaging a notch 26 therein. A coin inserted in a slot 25 in the bar raises the detent and is pulled off a plate 29 to drop to a money-box. A pawl 32 engages a rack 30 to ensure a full stroke of the bar 3 in both directions.

Title: Improvements in impregnation moulding
Inventor: REES JOHN
IPC: B29C39/00
Filed: 1962-10-15
Abstract: 978,871. Moulding fibre-resin articles. BRISTOL AEROPLANE PLASTICS Ltd. Oct. 15, 1963 [Oct, 15, 1962], No. 38941/62. Heading B5A. Fibre-resin articles are moulded by placing reinforcing fibres between a fixed mould half 2 and a spring-biased movable mould half 6, and intermittently introducing the moulding material between said halves, so that a pulsating movement is transmitted to the movable mould half, thus ensuring complete impregnation of said fibres. In the embodiment shown the moulding material, from tanks 34, 38, is introduced into the mould through pump 28, the build up in pressure within the mould forcing mould half 6 to move back against the action of springs 20. This movement continues until switch 44 is actuated to stop pump 28, whereupon the mould half 6 is forced back towards the fixed mould half under the action of the springs until at a predetermined position, the pump is restarted, thus reversing the motion of the mould half and starting another cycle. The mould instead of being open around the edge may be closed by e.g. a rubbersealing ring and the intermittent feed may be controlled independently of the motion of the movable mould half.

Filed: 1975-09-25
Abstract: 1519833 Automatic control of speed GENERAL ELECTRIC CO 25 Sept 1975 [4 Oct 1974] 39331/75 Heading G3R For overspeed conditions, a steam valve in a steam turbine is controlled towards a closed position, by a non-linear command signal, so as to compensate for the non-linear relationship between valve movement and steam flow. In the embodiment, provided the turbine speed Vs is greater than the desired value A e.g. due to decrease in load, the command signal Vout is proportional to the overspeed error i.e. the difference between the actual speed and value A. In the range B, where the change in valve position has only a small effect on the steam flow, the command signal rises at a faster rate than in range D, where the valve position change has a more substantial effect on the steam flow. For larger errors, in range E, the command signal is limited. The command signal is generated Fig. 3 (not shown) by an amplifier (42) whose output is modified in range D by a further amplifier (61) and limited for measured values of turbine speed (using a voltage proportional to speed) less than the pre-set value A or in the range E.

Title: Frequency discriminator
IPC: H03D3/00
Filed: 1975-09-26
Abstract: 1492862 Frequency discriminators; digital frequency measurement W J KEANE 26 Sept 1975 39631/75 Headings H3A and H3H A frequency discriminator of wide and adjustable band-width comprises an arrangement 20 for tuning a ferrimagnetic resonator, e.g. a YIG filter, to a quiescent centre frequency, an arrangement 19, 25 for electronically sweeping the resonator or the input signal over a given frequency range and an arrangement 32 determining the time relationship between the output of the resonator derived via a detector 28 and the sweeping signal from 25 to provide the discriminator output. The discriminator band-width is adjustable by varying at 19 the amplitude of the sweep signal. The discriminator output provides a measure of the frequency offset of an input signal from the discriminator centre frequency. The sweep signal may be derived as in Fig. 6A via an arrangement including a digital clock 38, a reversible counter 40 and a digital to analog converter 44. An output of the counter 40 may be applied to a digital read-out gate triggered by a pulse representative of the input frequency so that a digital measure of the input frequency offset can be obtained. Figs. 6B-7B (not shown) relate to arrangements receiving the detected output of the resonator and the sweep signal to provide frequency offset measurement. A frequency sweep arrangement (Fig. 8, not shown) involves a phase lock loop including the frequency discriminator and the desired number of oscillators operating over contiguous bands. The discriminator may initially be adjusted for maximum bandwidth to effect capture of the associated oscillator. Fig. 10 (not shown) releates to a heterodyne counter arrangement for determining the input frequency offset in respect of a comb line filter. Fig. 11 (not shown) releates to a frequency demodulator in which the output of the frequency discriminator is filtered in a RC circuit to remove the sample rate and to pass the modulation rate. In a tracking filter Fig. 12 (not shown), a tuning filter may be incorporated in the same magnetic housing as the frequency discriminator resonator and included in a feedback control loop for automatic tuning of the filter to an input frequency. Fig. 13 (not shown) relates to a broad band harmonic generator incorporating the frequency discriminator in a feedback loop.

Filed: 1973-08-21
Abstract: 1410740 Shutter control BOLEX INTERNATIONAL S A 21 Aug 1973 [8 Sept 1972] 39633/73 Heading G2E [Also in Division H2]  A cine camera comprises a shutter drive motor 1, a braking system which brakes the motor at the end of a picture taking sequence, and a latching mechanism which is movable to lock the motor in the shutter-closed position after braking. At the start of a picture taking sequence a switch 2 is closed which energizes the motor 1 via control circuits 14 to drive the shutter 3. The circuit 14 also energizes an electromagnet 21 which withdraws a latch 19 from a notch 9 in a disc 8 and allows the motor to rotate unimpeded. At the end of a picture taking sequence switch 2 is released and circuit 14 (a) cuts off the current supply to the motor 1 (b) actuates a circuit 24 which renders a transistor 23 conducting, thus shorting the motor terminals A, B and braking the motor and (c) de-energizes the electromagnet 21 to release the latch 19 which engages, under the bias of spring 20, the rim of disc 8. When the motor has braked sufficiently the latch engages the notch 9 and locks the motor in the shutter closed position. The motor also drives a tachometer disc 10 with notches 11 which pulse the light from a source 15 to a photo-transistor 16 connected to monitoring and control circuit 17 which controls the rotational speed of the motor. In an alternative embodiment the motor is braked by reversing the current through the motor using a bridge circuit.

Title: Ticket printer, particularly a travel ticket printer
IPC: G07B1/02
Filed: 1969-08-11
Abstract: 1,271,436. Ticket issuing machine. LICENTIA PATENT - VERWALTUNGS - G.m.b.H. 11 Aug., 1969 [10 Aug., 1968], No. 40062/69. Headings G4T and G4V. A ticket printer comprises a moving printing plate store in the form of a rotary member containing the printing plates in radial compartments, a stationary printing device to which the selected printing plate is transferred, and an evaluating device for reading additional information, stored, e.g., on punched cards, associated with the selected printing plate, which both converts the information into setting operations for variable printing means contained in the printing device, and transmits it to a local or central data processing installation. The invention is described as applied to a travel ticket printer in which only one printing plate 6 is allotted to each destination, and carries the information, e.g. origin and destination, common to all types of ticket available for that destination. The remaining information, such as the fare, which depends upon the type of ticket, e.g. return, season &c. is contained in separate fields (16, Fig. 6, not shown) on punched card 2, stored in rack 9, Fig. 4, behind the corresponding printing plate 6 in rack 8.  The required destination is set using scale 11, Fig. 1, or large desk scale (35, Figs. 9-12, not shown), thus rotating store 5 so that the appropriate printing plate 6 and punched card 2 are adjacent to printing device 3 and reader 1. The type of ticket required is set using keyboard 13, Fig. 1, so that push-rods 17 transfer printing plate 6 to printer 1 and place punched card 2 in position so that reader 1 scans the desired information field (16). Alternatively, keyboard 13 can move reader 1 to the desired field (16). The information is supplied to a known coder/ pulse generator (4, Figs. 7-12, not shown) which sets adjustable printing units 19, which print through apertures (33, Fig. 5, not shown) in printing plate 6 and thus produce ticket 18, Figs. 1, 4. Plate 6 and card 2 may then be withdrawn into store automatically, or a separate clearing key may be provided, the latter solution facilitates the printing of a plurality of like tickets. Coder (4) also supplies the information evaluated by reader 1 to a local or central data processing installation, to facilitate accounting and statistical analysis. Alternatively, the information may be stored in a central computer (36, Fig. 11, not shown), in which case the fields (16) or punched cards 2 carry only a numerical address to identify the computer storage location of the information required. The ticket printing may be combined with a coin slot mechanism (39, Fig. 10, not shown) to form an automatic ticket machine.
Patent GB-401825-A (GB)
Abstract: 401,825. Cash registers. PANTHERWERKE AKT.-GES., 23, Ludwigstrasse, Brunswick, Germany. July 29, 1932, No. 21396. Convention date, Aug. 7, 1931. [Class 106 (i).] The operation of the machine can take place only after a slight backward movement of the operating crank and as the result of such movement a lock is imposed upon the setting and indicating mechanism, the restoring mechanism and the machine-locking lever or any one of these. The crank 3, Fig. 1, is geared with the main shaft 4 provided with a mutilated ratchet wheel 8 and pawl 6 to prevent backward rotation except to the extent of the mutilation. When the crank is given a slight counterclockwise displacement a pin 9 acting against a one-way pawl 12 rocks a latch lever 13 clockwise to release a lever 19 pivoted at 18. This lever 19 then rocks counterclockwise to remove its end from obstructing the shoulder 28 of a disc 29 and so permit the forward rotation of the main shaft. The rocking of lever 19 also places a stop 21a in the path of the machinelocking lever 23 to prevent its use and, by a roller 30, rocks a lever 32 clockwise to depress an arm 36 secured to a shaft 35. A bail 50, Fig. 3, is consequently shifted against arms 63 of detents 64 to lock the indicating and setting sectors 40 and another arm 52 extending from the shaft to a slot 53 in a restoring lever 56 prevents the use of this lever. Upon forward rotation of the crank a notched disc 44 rocks a bell-crank 44a to block bail 50 during the opertion. Towards the end of the cycle a pin 25 rocks lever 19 back to and beyond home position, lever 32 being thus permitted to rock counterclockwise also to abnormal position where it, together with lever 19, is held by a latch 38 which consequently locks the operating- mechanism against further use. To restore the machine the lever 56 is rocked counterclockwise, Fig. 3, and the consequent counterclockwise rotation of shaft 35 (1) disengages the detents 64 from the sectors 40 by the action of a pin 57 on the tail 58 of a bail 62, (2) restores through bail 50, the sectors 40 and therefore also the setting and indicating elements and (3) by co-operation of the arm 36 with the arc 11 prevents movement of the lever 32 during restoration and finally dislodges the latch 38 to allow the levers 32 and 19 to return to normal position.
