Abstract: Wooden structures and electrical engineering are at present widely different technical spheres. The demands of electrical appliances have not been considered in furniture, and post-installed low-voltage leads are difficult to conceal, whilst protecting wooden structures against fire and burglary with built-in leads is a technical area that has not been researched. The solution is an electrically conductive wooden structure. The invention has been manufactured from timber material by adhesive bonding 1, 3, 5 and comprises electrically conductive layers 2, 4. The most obvious application is to carry direct current thereto and to connect up halogen lights. By means of variations it is also possible to heat up and dry surfaces of wooden structures, mount watch and provide for fire protection. In offices the invention significantly reduces the number of electrical leads. The invention is simple and easy to manufacture, because the bonded structures require scarcely any separate operations. <IMAGE>

Filed: 1948-01-14
Abstract: 651,345. Dictating-machines. AUTOPHON AKT.-GES. Jan. 14, 1948, No. 1197. Convention date, Jan. 23, 1947. [Class 40 (ii)] A magnetic telegraphone comprises a first sound recording and reproducing device for use with a sound carrier for the main recorded text, and a further sound recording and reproducing device for use with a second sound carrier for the recording of corrections, the main sound carrier being rendered inoperative whenever the second sound carrier is rendered operative. In Fig. 2, a message is normally recorded on carrier I by means of magnetic recording head T1 which is fed from microphone M through amplifier V. If, when listening back, it is desired to effect a correction, key KT is pressed which applies a tone from generator K which is recorded on carrier I and also operates a relay R, contact r of which energizes relay X. The contacts of relay X change over the supply connections of motors MI and MII to stop carrier I and start carrier II, and also change over the connection from head T1 to T2. A further relay Y is provided the arrangement being such that when key KT is released and relay R releases, relay Y operates and relay X is held operated. Recording of the correction may then continue on carrier N. At the end of the correction, key KT is again pressed to operate relay R and, with relay Y operated, contact r now releases relay X to transfer the drive from carrier II to carrier I and, to connect head T1 in place of head T2. When the tone ceases, relay Y releases to restore normal conditions and reproduction or recording can then continue on carrier I. The tone from generator K is recorded on carriers I and II, and during reproduction, the recorded tone is applied via amplifier V and filter N to operate relay R to effect the same operations as when key KT was operated. The recorded tone is used to control the drive mechanism during the rewinding process, so that when the carriers are driven for normal reproduction, they operate in the required sequence, whereby corrections recorded on carrier II are automatically inserted at the appropriate point in the main message reproduced from carrier I.

Title: Improvements relating to devices for winding film strips on to processing spools
IPC: G03D13/14
Filed: 1962-01-16
Abstract: 947,003. Winding film strips on to spools. K. HANSEN, and E. J. KNUTSEN. Jan. 16, 1962 [Jan. 16, 1961], No. 1549/62. Heading G2A. Photographic film strips to be processed are wound in a spiral having spaced convolutions on a spool of the type having two flanges joined by a central pin, the two inner faces of the flanges having spiral grooves in which the film strip is retained; the film is fed on to the spool by a movable guide member which has a finger engaging in a corresponding spiral groove in a guide plate which rotates with the spool; the spiral groove in the guide plate, instead of being continuous as in the similar arrangement of Specification 833, 479, is subdivided into a number of sections separated from each other, so as to facilitate the winding-on of a number of short film strips, each occupying only a limited number of the spiral windings available, thus allowing all the separate film strips to be processed simultaneously. As shown, the device has a base plate 1, on which is fixed a shaft 3. Rotatable on shaft 3 is a spool comprising circular flanges 9, 10, each flange having a number of radially extending spokes 15. The inner facing edges of the spokes have toothing 17, which is divided into groups 17<SP>1</SP>, 17<SP>11</SP> &c., separated by inter-spaces 19. Also rotatable on shaft 3, and below the spool, is a guide plate 4, on the upper surface of which is a spiral groove 18. This groove is divided into separated sections 18<SP>1</SP>, 18<SP>11</SP> &c. The sets of grooves 18 in plate 4 correspond to the sets of toothing 17, each pair of sets defining a spiral path. The plate 4 can be driven by a motor 6 and roller 7. The film is fed into the spool by a guide member pivoted on a shaft 28, which consists essentially of two metal strips 22, 23 at the end of a swinging arm 27. The guide member also carries an arm 37 at the end of which is a small finger 38 which runs in groove 18 of plate 4. The film strip 30 is disposed as a roll 34 on a spindle 35, and is fed between conical rollers 31, 32 in the guide member and past a cylindrical pressure roller 33 into the spool. As the guide plate 4 and the spool rotate (being locked so as to rotate together), the finger 38 runs in groove 18, gradually moving outwards, the film strip thus being guided correspondingly as a spiral winding between the toothing 17. A spring 43 tends to turn the arm 27 clockwise, finger 38 thus being under light pressure against the wall of the groove nearest to shaft 3. The winding is started manually, and then continued by the motor 6. When the first film strip has been wound, rotation may be continued until the finger 38 passes on to a separating section 20. The motor is stopped, the second film section introduced into the guide, and finger 38 manipulated to enter the second spiral section on plate 4.
