Filed: 1980-03-12
Abstract: A fastening device for container racks, containing at least two frame gables formed by upright corner posts with glide rails fixed therebetween, said frame gables being mutually connected by struts engaging with the corner posts. One end of a corner post (1) and strut (19) is shown in Fig. 6, the post being provided here with four notches (11, 12, 15, 16) on one side and four notches (11', 12', 15', 16') on its other side and opposing said first four notches. On the respective side there are two notches (11, 12; 11', 12') placed horizontally and side by side, and similarly two notches horizontally and in line with the first-mentioned notches. The distance (A) between the end surface of the corner post and adjacent notches (11, 12; 11', 12') is equal to half the distance (B) between the notches in the longitudinal direction of the post. The other end of the post is similarly provided with notches. The strut (19) is provided with two lugs at either end, the lugs (20, 21) being illustrated in the figure, as well as a clamped clip (25) similarly provided with two lugs (28, 29), the lugs of each strut and clip being formed for engagement in the notches in the corner posts, further to which each strut is provided with an end surface (24) at either end for bearing against a comer post side.

Title: Coin tester
IPC: G07D5/02
Filed: 1980-12-09
Abstract: An apparatus for grading and deflecting rotationally symmetrical bodies, more particularly a coin tester having a coin passage (5) defined by a base plate (2) and a track carrier (3) having a pivotable flap (1) mounted thereon. The flap (1) is generally U- shaped, and is arranged so that its upper shank (11) initially abuts the base plate (2), and upon insertion of a coin (17) in the passage (22) the coin (17) abuts the projection (27) of the upper shank (11) and causes the flap (1) to pivot to allow the coin (17) to fall until the coin abuts the lower sloping shank (14) of the flap (1), whereupon a coin (17) of admissible size is held between the shanks (11, 14). <IMAGE>

Title: Viscous fluid damping for example in dolls eyes
IPC: A63H3/40
Filed: 1981-01-22
Abstract: A damping mechanism for damping relative motion (e.g. rotation) of a pair of members 66, 70 having confronting surfaces 68, 70 spaced apart by zone 69 of capillary dimension, a viscous damping fluid 80 in the zone contacting the confronting surfaces of said members and held in the gap by capillary attraction to provide the damping action upon movement of the members relative to one another. One of the confronting surfaces 70 may be planar and the other 68 conical (Fig. 8) wherein the rotational axis of the rotatable member is disposed on the point of the cone to provide a point contact bearing minimising friction and centreing the viscous damping material adjacent the axis of rotation. There may be a secondary capillary viscous fluid reservoir (not shown) of slightly larger capillary dimension than the primary capillary zone between the members to replenish any fluid lost in the capillary zone. One of the members may be a shaft 60 projecting into a socket (Fig. 5). The dampers of Figs 5 & 8 are both used in a dolls eye mounting, which may also incorporate a further viscous damper (not shown). <IMAGE>

Title: Loading bales from a baling press onto a vehicle or into a container
IPC: B65G67/04
Filed: 1981-02-02
Abstract: Bales 23, for example of refuse, are ejected one after the other from a baling press 1 on to a chute 4 whence they are loaded in two or more layers into a transport container 7. To load the bales in this way, a crane 9 has grippers 17 which pick up the individual bales and move them in the pressing direction of the horizontally acting press 1, transversely to this direction and vertically to assemble them into a stack on a table 5. In the example, each stack has four bales formed in two layers each consisting of two bales side by side. Each stack is then pushed by a bale slide 6, 14 into the container and pushes previous stacks in front of it further into the container. This technique enables the press to operate continuously as, when a container is full, it can be replaced by an empty container while a stack is being formed. <IMAGE>

Title: Enveloped yarn package and manufacturing method therefor
IPC: B65D75/66
Filed: 1981-06-23
Abstract: A package of filament yarn of 15-20 denier wound on a pirn (3) and having tapered yarn winding configurations at both ends is closely enveloped in a thermoplastics thin film (2) which has been thermally shrunk onto the package. Before shrinking the thermoplastic thin film (2) is tubular and has one tapered open end and the other end non-tapered and open for the insertion of the yarn package and pirn, the film having a thermal shrinkage of at least 20%. The loosely covered yarn package is subjected to heat at a temperature not exceeding 130 DEG C of dry heat for a short while e.g. 7-15 seconds to cause shrinking of the film. A tear thread (4) is provided having one end fixed to one open end of the tubular film and the other end protruding a short distance from the other end of the tubular film. The film may be transparent, opaque or coloured. The yarn package is thus kept from collapsing due to mal-handling or during transportation, and can be mounted on a creel stand without being soiled, the thread (4) being pulled to remove the film after mounting. <IMAGE>

Patent GB-2120818-A (GB)
Title: Data processing systems
Inventor: PROCTER BRIAN JOHN
IPC: G06F11/00
Filed: 1983-05-16
Abstract: A data processing system consists of a number of modules such as integrated circuit chips, each of which receives a clock signal. Each module contains a checking circuit 22 producing a failure signal which indicates whether or not the module is operating correctly. The clock signal is used to invert the sense of this failure signal in successive clock periods. Thus, the failure signal normally alternates between two values in successive clock periods, and its phase relative to the clock signal denotes whether or not a failure has been detected. However, if the clock supply to a module fails, or if the checking circuit itself fails, the failure signal from that module no longer alternates, but is frozen at one or other of the two values. This allows failure of the clock supply or of the checking circuit to be detected. <IMAGE>
