Patent GB-2114169-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in or relating to winding apparatus
Inventor: DAVIES RICHARD EDWARD
IPC: B65H54/52
Filed: 1982-11-02
Abstract: Apparatus for winding flexible material on to a mandrel includes a control system for automatically controlling the packing density of the wound material. The mandrel is rotatably mounted on one end of an arm (A) which is mounted to pivot about a horizontal axis at the other end of the arm. The package being wound rests on a bar and pressure (j) is applied to the periphery of the package by a weight (W). The effect of the weight (W) is reduced by a piston slidable in a cylinder, air pressure (p) being applied to the underside of the piston. The air is provided by means of a pump driven by an electric motor through a mark-space control. This control varies the mean speed of the pump in dependence on an error signal derived from the difference between the output of means for measuring a value which varies with pressure applied to the package and a reference value. In addition, the reference signal may be varied by means of a measurement of the diameter of the package. The measured value may be a direct measurement of the pressure (j) or a measure of the load current on the motor driving the package. <IMAGE>

Title: Coordinate measuring machine
Inventor: SAKATA HIDEO
IPC: G01B5/008
Filed: 1982-11-08
Abstract: The machine comprises a probe 53 which is supported through an assembly 40 so as to be displaceable relative to the upper surface of a bed- plate 21 in the directions of X, Y and Z orthogonal axes. The shape and dimensions of a workpiece 54 on the bedplate are measured from measured displacements of the measuring element along the axes. The assembly 40 is guided in the direction of the Y axis by guide rails 31, 32 which are mounted in positions outside two opposite side edges of the bedplate 21. The upper surfaces of the guide rails 31 and 32 are parallel to the upper surface of the bedplate 21. This arrangement leaves the whole of the upper surface of the bedplate 21 unobstructed. <IMAGE>

Patent GB-2132750-A (GB)
Title: Apparatus for monitoring movement of member
Inventor: FRIPP DAVID GEORGE FRANCIS
IPC: G01P13/04
Filed: 1982-12-18
Abstract: To monitor the movement of a member, outputs from detectors 2A and 3B corresponding to the intensity of a pattern on the member are used to generate reference signals with which to compare the outputs. One high and one low reference value are retained in sample and hole circuits 27A and 39B. If the signal from photodiode 2A is selected by a selector 12, a reference selector 37 selects the corresponding reference signals from the sample and hold circuit 27A, and these are compared at the two integrated circuits 21 and 22. Pulses are generated by the circuits 21 and 22 which depend on the signal amplitude from the selector 12 and pass through differentiators 55 and 54. The output pulses are counted at a counter 57, and this gives the distance travelled by the member. <IMAGE>

Patent GB-2113290-A (GB)
Title: Trim clips and the assembly of trim clips on panels
Inventor: SCHATY HERR HARALD
IPC: F16B5/12
Filed: 1983-01-05
Abstract: A trim strip or moulding is assembled on a panel by means of a row of headed studs on which plastics clips 30 are received, the sliding of the trim strip being prevented by engagement of resilient fingers 42 on the clip with abutments 44 on the strip. In order to provide for manufacturing tolerances, the resilient fingers on the clip are arranged to co-operate with one of a series of longitudinally spaced abutments on the strip. Prevention of longitudinal displacement of the trim strip after assembly is thus ensured without additional cost or inconvenience in assembling the trim on the panel. The threaded studs are engaged in keyhole slots 32 and fingers 34 lock the clip on the studs. <IMAGE>

Title: Inspecting screw cap bottle closures
Inventor: BODEN JOHN HEWETSON
IPC: B07C5/34
Filed: 1983-02-22
Abstract: To inspect screw-cap bottle closure one or more television cameras 23 derive optical image signals corresponding to the external profile of the cap at different e.g. opposite circumferential positions, and a comparison system 24, 25 analyses the video signal information to determine whether the cap has a groove or other portion with required shape characteristics. Photocells 26 and 27 detect when a bottle is in each of two positions, between which the bottle is rotated by over 90 DEG , causing microprocessor 25 to store two images of the cap each containing two side profiles which are analysed e.g. for width to depth ratio of grooves. <IMAGE>

Title: Video image creation
Inventor: WALKER IAN CLIVE
IPC: G09G5/393
Filed: 1983-11-18
Abstract: A video image creation system provides intensity or colour data from one or more stores 22. The image is created under manual control 10 which effectively defines the coordinates of the artists implement at any given time. A processor 20 receives the incoming image data and previously derived data from a frame store 13 and modifies this data in dependance on a parameter available from another store 23. The created image can be viewed on a monitor 17. The parameter controls the contribution made from any adjacent, previously created, parts of the image and can be such as to simulate different pencil or brush shapes or types of paint for example. Additional facilities such as pressure sensitivity and blurring can be provided. <IMAGE>

Patent GB-2135795-A (GB)
Title: A rolling control apparatus for an engine
Inventor: CHIKAMORI SUNAO
IPC: F16F15/02
Filed: 1984-02-06
Abstract: When a change in operating mode of an automatic transmission is detected by a detector (33), a solenoid drive circuit (30) for changing the damping characteristics of a shock absorbing apparatus (Fig. 6), which limits rolling of the engine, is driven for a predetermined period of time. When the solenoid drive circuit (30) is driven, a solenoid (29) is energized to rotate a spool (25) of the shock absorbing apparatus. The size of the orifice (23) between two liquid-filled chambers (12, 13) is thereby changed to increase the damper effect. As a result, the reaction force against a large torque generated by vehicle engine when the operating mode changes is decreased, and vibration transmitted to a body frame is damped. <IMAGE>

Abstract: The bicycle has a frame 1 with pedals 17, a seat support 10 and a handlebar support 9, the latter being mounted for pivotal movement about a horizontal axis and there also being provided a mechanism 18, 19, 22 which is selectively connectible to the support 9 so as to impart a rocking or vibratory motion thereto. Said mechanism includes a polygonal plate 18 which is releasably engageable with a bearing 22 mounted on an extension 19 of the support 9, said polygonal plate 18 being rotatable via the pedals 17. For vibration or rocking to take place, the bearing 22 must contact the periphery of plate 18 but a pin 23 is provided between slots 24 in plates 15 to prevent this. The pin is urged towards the lower ends of the slots by a spring 25 but can be pulled up by means of a cable 27 operated from the handlebar. Instead of direct connection to the pin, the cable may be connected thereto via a lever (Fig. 6). Each foot of the supports 9, 10 may comprise telescopically coupled hollow housings having a compression spring therebetween (Figs. 8, 9). <IMAGE>
