Abstract: 1292191 Coating process AGFA-GEVAERT AG 4 March 1970 10352/70 Heading D1L Apparatus for coating web materials, particularly with photographic emulsion, as shown, in which the web 1 is moved under the roller 2. The emulsion is supplied through supply pipe 3 to the coating device via distributor 4. Excess emulsion discharges over overflow edge 5 and is removed by pipe 6. A layer of emulsion is formed on the web in the tapering wedge shaped gap 7, forming a thicker coating than required. The final coating is formed by stripping off excess coating at the gap 8 between the web 1 and casting straight edge 9, by the action of air moving tangentially past the web into chambers 10 and 12. The air is drawn by suction past constriction 11 into chamber 12 and down pipe 13, where a baffle 14 is situated, the ratio of pressures on the side nearest the suction means to that nearest the gap being 2:1, in order to stabilize the air pressure at the gap, and produce a level surface on the coating. Emulsion removed by the air stream discharges from pipe 15.

Abstract: 1,012,357. Two-part couplings. AMP. Inc. March 12, 1964 [March 21, 1963], No. 10418/64. Heading H2E. In a coaxial cable connector, the inner contact pin 40 is held coaxially in the outer shell 30 by an insulating insert 36 and is crimped at the central region C 2  to grip the cable core 110, access for the crimping tool being provided by ports 34 in the outer conductor and recesses 38 in the insert. Suitably shaped dies crimp pin 40 to the cable core, pressure being transmitted by the thin insulating layer of insert to the pin without piercing the layer. The outer shell 30 has a rear extension 50 of reduced diameter and with annular serrations 52 over which the cable braid 104 is crimped by a sleeve 60. Extension 50 has a flange 54 (Fig. 4) at the rear end to take a grooved sealing grommet 70 (Fig. 5, not shown). Sleeve 60 supports and grips by crimping the outer insulating sleeve 102 of the cable; the crimping also distorts grommet 70 to effect a seal with flange 54 and the cable dielectric 106, thereby preventing ingress of moisture or corrosive media into the connector via the cable braid. The forward ends of the connector are shaped to mate with a complementary connector 80, a disc seal 18 of resilient material being forced thereby against pin 40 and a shoulder 16.

Title: Improvements relating to electric motors
Inventor: WALKER DANIEL NORMAN
IPC: H02K7/12
Filed: 1955-04-12
Abstract: 777,639. Electric motors. WILMOTBREEDEN, Ltd. March 21, 1956 [April 12, 1955], No. 10428/55. Class 35. In a motor with the stator or rotor axially mov - able relatively to the other member, the stator has teeth engageable with teeth formed on or secured to the rotor spindle under the action of a bias and the disengagement of the teeth is effected in opposition to the bias by the magnetic field created when the motor is energized. Such energization causes the stator to rise and its teeth clear those of the bevel pinion 4 and permit the rotor to run freely while the teeth reengage as the windings are de-energized and further rotation of the rotor is prevented. Key 7 in keyway 8 prevents angular movement of the stator. The rotor could be the axially movable member in which case its spindle would have a spline or equivalent connection with the driven device, in this case a window raising and lowering mechanism. The weight may be partially offset by the spring 9.

Title: Voltage tuned oscillator
IPC: H03B5/24
Filed: 1968-03-05
Abstract: 1,212,763. Voltage - tuned oscillators. KRUSE-STORKE ELECTRONICS. 5 March, 1968 [7 April, 1967], No. 10504/68. Heading H3T. A variable-frequency phase-shift oscillator comprises an amplifier having a feedback loop including an electrically variable reactance and, an electrically variable resistance, these being preferably a capacitance and a diode respectively. In the Figure a transistor 15 has a frequency - determining phase-shift network comprising varicap diodes 51 and PIN diodes 52. Application of a voltage to terminal 55 varies the bias on the varicap diodes to change their capacitance and the bias on the PIN diodes to change their resistance, these changes aiding one another to alter the frequency. A diode 46 compensates for temperature changes in the varicap diodes, and a thermistor 66 similarly compensates the PIN diodes. The voltage at 55 may be rapidly varying for frequency modulation. High and low level outputs are taken from terminals 42a and 25 respectively. A link 70 is removed and connected to a control source when narrow tuning or phase lock is required. The amplitude of oscillation is limited by a diode network 30 between collector and base of the transistor. In operation the capacitance and the resistance may be varied individually instead of simultaneously.

Class 94(i) [Also in Group XXX] The pockets of the intermittently-moving feed conveyer 10 of the biscuit wrapping machine described in Specification 684,252 are charged with biscuits from multiple magazines by means which withdraws simultaneously from each magazine a batch consisting of a number less than that required to fill a pocket and then deposits the batches on edge, each in one of a number of consecutive feed pockets at points offset from one another, so that each pocket receives, until it is full, a plurality of batches which are deposited side-by-side in it. The machine described is provided with three magazines and three sets of charging mechanisms, each of which supplies a pocket with nine biscuits in three batches of three, one from each magazine. Each magazine 26, 126, 226, Fig. 3, comprises siderails 28 and an intermittently-driven endless belt 27 inclined at about an angle of fifteen degrees to the horizontal on which the biscuits are placed on edge. The biscuits pass from a belt 27 over a dead plate 29, Fig. 4, into a channel in a member 30 along which they are raised by a pusher 31 into a pocket 32 of a pivoted transfer member 33, 133, 233. Each of these members moves the biscuits along a plate 67 between side guides 68 into position above three consecutive pockets of the conveyer and between one pair of pairs of plungers 44, 45; 144, 145 and 244, 245 arranged below and above the conveyer. The member 33 transfers the biscuits to position A above the right hand third of the leading pocket, while the members 133, 233 move them to position B above the centre of the next pocket and to position C above the left hand third of the third pocket, respectively. The bottom plungers rise through the pockets into alignment with the plates 67 just before batches of biscuits arrive at the ends of the plates, and when a batch is on a plunger, the corresponding plunger above descends on top of it. The plungers descend together until the biscuits are deposited on the inturned flanges 22 of the pocket walls 14. Means are provided for tilting each bottom plunger as it enters a pocket away from the biscuits already deposited in it.

Title: Apparatus and method for coating paper and the like
IPC: B05C11/06
Filed: 1959-03-26
Abstract: A method of applying a coating material to a web, e.g. of paper or textile, comprises drawing the web over and above the surface of a pond of the coating material so that the <FORM:0921418/IV(a)/1> web takes up material therefrom, drawing the web over a doctor blade 18 which defines the side of the pond, and controlling the thickness and/or smoothness of the coating by varying the pressure the web exerts on the blade 18, e.g. by means of an adjustable fluid (air) nozzle 9.  Coating material is delivered continuously to a container 1 which may have a heating or cooling tube 3.  One or more holes or slots 2 communicate via a passage 30 and an opening 32 with the pond, which overlies a flat member 28. Material bleeds from the pond through an orifice 33a and over the top of an adjustable plate 35 to a trough 23a.  The edges of the web are supported by shelf portions 41 of a guide member 39 which is slidable over the member 28.  The portions 41 prevent the coating of the edges of the web, which may be held down by a suction device positioned before the coating apparatus, see Fig. 1 (not shown).  A constriction X in the passage 30 prevents dirt &c. reaching the pond.  The container 1 is angularly adjustable in rings 38.  It is stated that the nozzle 9 may be omitted, control of the web tension being achieved by directing the web downwardly on emerging from the coating apparatus.  The blade 18 preferably has a rounded edge 21 facing the oncoming web, and has a square edge at the opposite side.
