Title: Control apparatus for patterning devices such as thread-  changing devices and /or selector devices on circular  knitting machines
IPC: D04B15/66
Filed: 1972-05-25
Abstract: 1397752 Knitting machines FOUQUETWERK FRAUZ & PLANCK 25 May 1972 [28 May 1971] 24682/72 Heading D1C [Also in Division G3] Control apparatus for patterning devices on a circular knitting machine comprises a tape reader 7 connected to the columns of a matrix of solenoids, a shift register 6 connected to the rows of the matrix, a control mechanism 8 and a pulse generator 1, the output of which is connected to the tape reader, the shift register and the control circuit. Triggers on the rotating needle cylinder cause pulses to be sent from the pulse generator, and these pulses together with the output from the tape reader cause the solenoids to operate thread changing arms on the knitting machine in synchronism with the rotation of the needle cylinder. Different colour selections may be obtained without changing the tape by changing colour selection switches 14-17. A blocking device at each thread changer location prevents withdrawal of one selection of thread changing arms until the next one has been selected, thus avoiding the possibility to operating with no thread inserted.

Title: Setting means for character display unit
IPC: H03K21/18
Filed: 1973-05-25
Abstract: 1447635 Counting apparatus HONEYWELL Ltd 21 Aug 1974 [25 May 1973] 25272/73 Heading G4D A binary counter 10 operates an alphanumeric display 12 and is caused to count continuously while a manual switch 15 is held operated and thus display a succession of characters. The arrangement may be employed in a programming device for test apparatus: instead of employing a plurality of, e.g. 40- way switches to set up the steps of a test a plurality of counters 10, displays 12 and switches 15 are provided; each switch is operated until the display shows the desired character associated with a particular step; the output of counter 10 passes over lines 13 to perform the appropriate control function. The switch 15 is two way with a centre stable position and causes the counter to count up or down according to which way it is pushed. When the switch is operated a monostable 21 is triggered sending a pulse via differentiator 22 and the selected one of AND gates 18 to the counter. After 300 m.secs. the monostable resets and energizes an 8 Hz oscillator 25 to step the counter. Thus the counter advances one step, pauses and then advances rapidly so that by appropriate manipulation of switch 15 the display is quickly and easily set to the desired character.

Patent GB-487017-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in or relating to cylinder printing presses
IPC: B41F31/00
Filed: 1937-09-17
Abstract: 487,017. Printing - ma'chines. SCHNELLPRESSENFABRIK ART.- GES. HEIDELBERG. Sept. 17, 1937, No. 25315. Convention date, July 2. [Class 100 (ii)] A cylinder printing-machine is constructed so that the length which the forme bed travels is shortened, and so a large output can be obtained with a clear impression. To attain this object the inking-rollers 21 are moved over the forme to effect the inking, so that the bed does not have to traverse the distance necessary to engage fixed inking-rollers as is necessary when these are employed. The invention is shown as applied to a continuous revolution machine in which a rotating impression segment 3 prints in conjunction with a forme bed 4 reciprocated by known mechanism comprising a gear 12, which engages alternately upper and lower racks 13, 14, and a reversal crank 15 all driven by gearing from a shaft 5 geared direct to the shaft of the impression segment 3. The bed 4'is inked by means of rollers 21 mounted in a carriage 31 which is reciprocated over guides 32 by means of a chain 29 driven alternately in different directions by an oscillating wheel 28 actuated by an oscillating segmental gear 26. The gear 26 is operated from a cam 22 driven from the shaft 5. When the bed 4 comes to rest in the position shown in Fig. 2, the rollers 21 have to move a distance y to the right and before this is completed the bed starts on its printing stroke and no reversal or stoppage of the rollers 21 occurs while in contact with the bed. The rollers 21 receive ink from an ink table 16 while the bed completes its printing stroke and during the return of the bed the rollers pass over the table 16 and again over the forme, and before the complete return of the bed the rollers are reversed and move to the right more quickly than the forme and attain the position shown in Fig. 2 by the time of the next reversal of the bed.

Title: Method of and apparatus for plating a surface of a web
IPC: H01F41/26
Filed: 1963-06-26
Abstract: <PICT:1013675/C6-C7/1> A web is coated electrolessly with a layer of metal and is then electroplated by passing it sucessively through two separate electrolyte baths, the first bath containing a cathode and the second bath an anode with the web forming the only electrical connection between the baths so that plating occurs in the second bath. Typically the electroplated web is passed through a third bath containing mercury arranged to serve as a cathode and if desired a further mercury cathode bath may be provided so that the plated web can be given a further electroplating by passage into a plating bath between the mercury baths.  Typically the first electrolyte bath 10 and the mercury baths 51, 52 are situated in but insulated from the plating electrolyte 12 in the bath 13.  The electroless plated web 11a is passed by rollers of stainless steel, glass, ceramic, P.T.F.E. or other insulating plastic through the baths 10, 51, 52 with intermediate descents into the bath 13 in which are arranged pairs of plate anodes 24a-24h, plating occuring when the web is adjacent these anodes. Before and after passage through the mercury 63 the web is passed through a cleaning liquid lying over the mercury.  If desired instead of cathode plates 20, 62 the baths 10, 51, 52 may be of metal with outer insulated coatings and connected directly as cathodes. With lateral extensions on the cathode plates 20 in the bath 10, deplating of the electroless coating occurs on the edges of the web 11b.  Plating may be effected on only one face of the web if the web edges are deplated by using insulating immersed guide rollers 14b, 14g, 14l and causing the axes of these rollers to lie above the level of the electrolyte and mercury in the baths by controlling the liquid levels.  Provision is also made for regenerating the electrolyte of bath 10 and for continuously removing contaminants which collect in the wash water in baths 51, 52.  The bath 10 may contain the same electrolyte as the plating bath 13 and is preferably of pH 1-4.  The electroplating may be of cobalt or cobalt-nickel for forming a magnetic recording tape and different electroplated thicknesses may be obtained on opposite faces of the web by applying different potentials to each of the anodes of a pair, as 24b, 24c, 24f, 24g relative to 24a, 24d, 24e, 24h.  Specifications 989,563, 1,013,673 and 1,013,674 are referred to.
