Title: Sheet Feeding Apparatus
Inventor: SPENCER MICHAEL STANLEY
IPC: B65H29/60
Filed: 1983-04-13
Abstract: This relates to apparatus for feeding sheets along a flow path in a system in which each sheet must arrive at a given point at or very close to a given time. A sensing means located at a given point on the flow path senses the arrival of the sheet and applies a signal to a comparator which also receives clock pulses. The output of the comparator controls diverters which guide the sheet along a normal path (b, c) or along a second flow path (a), downstream of the detector, which provides an alternative to a portion (b) of the main flow path and is a fraction of a sheet length longer than the said portion, or along a third flow path (d) downstream of the detector which provides an alternative to a portion (c) of the main flow path and is a fraction of a sheet length shorter than the latter portion of the main flow path. In this way, the timing of the notes on later portions of the flow path is adjusted. <IMAGE>

Title: A method of separating the individual printed sheets of a stream of overlapping sheets
Inventor: MULLER HANS
IPC: B65H5/28
Filed: 1983-04-28
Abstract: A method for separating the printed sheets of a stream of overlapping sheets comprises subdividing said stream into partial streams and feeding the partial streams to a separating device such as, for example, a gripper drum (15). Each partial stream is guided to a temporary storage section (4, 5) and is then guided back therefrom to the separating device (15) whilst still in the form of a partial stream. Then, at each engaging or gripping cycle of the separating device (15), successive printed sheets are engaged and drawn from the partial stream. The feed speed of the partial stream of sheets to the separating device (15) and the operating speed of the separating device (15) are so arranged that, at each gripping cycle, the next printed sheet in succession reaches the separating device (15). <IMAGE>

Title: Electromechanical device for selecting the needles of a flat-bed knitting machine
Inventor: STOPPAZZINI BENITO
IPC: D04B15/70
Filed: 1983-05-13
Abstract: The device comprises an electromagnet 3 to the movable armature 4 of which is integral a metal blade 9 that supports cantilever fashion, a shank 11 provided with a plate 12. One part of the edge of the said plate 12 is inserted in a slit 18 machined in one extremity of a rod 14 subjected to elastic means 17 and freely slidable in a hole in a plate 1 on the carriage of the machine. The other extremity of the rod 14 carries means 15a for selecting a jack 2. With the electromagnet 3 de-energized, the spring bias ensures that selection means 15a do not intercept a butt on the jack 2 but with the electromagnet 3 excited, the selection means 15 intercept the said butt 2a and this causes the jack 2 to be raised and subsequently sent into operation. <IMAGE>

Title: Acidulant for dyeing process
Inventor: CURRIE ANDREW CHRISTOPHER
IPC: D06P1/651
Filed: 1983-08-18
Abstract: Glycol formate esters are used as additives in the dyeing and printing processes for natural and synthetic fibres and fabrics. It has been found that by replacing conventional organic acids either wholly or partially by such easily hydrolysable esters of formic acid, compositions are formed which regulate the pH of the dye bath so as to obtain adequate levelling and exhaustion of dyes while minimising to a substantial extent the problems relating to pH fluctuations, odour and corrosivity of the free acids. The glycol formates used are preferably selected from the diformates of ethylene glycol, propylene glycol and butylene glycol. The glycol formates are liquids and may be used as such or in the form of solutions.

Patent GB-2129356-A (GB)
Title: Billet shearing method and apparatus
Inventor: VOLKSHEIMER DIETER
IPC: B23D33/10
Filed: 1983-10-03
Abstract: The method and apparatus is for obtaining exact sheared lengths from steel billet material 11 for use as blanks for solid-forming. After raising of the billet 11 on a roller table 21 by means 23 to line-up with a feed path to shear blades 5 and 8, the billet is advanced by the roller table 21 and by a gripper feed device 14 until it engages an adjustable stop 13. During the feeding step, a partial clamping force is applied to the billet by a clamping device 25 acting via a roller 28. When the billet engages the stop (13), a greater clamping force is applied to the billet, to fix it in the shearing position, by means of a hold down 9. A shearing stroke is initiated upon engagement taking place between the leading end of the billet and the stop. The fact that the shearing plane remains unchanged after lining-up of the billet, and that the billet is fed right up to the stop with a constant feed force contributes to accuracy of the lengths sheared. <IMAGE>

Title: Improvements relating to magnetrons
Inventor: CUTTING ALAN BUTLER
IPC: H01J25/587
Filed: 1983-12-01
Abstract: A magnetron includes a number of anode vanes (21) spaced apart at regular intervals around the axis (XX) of a central cathode (40). A tuning member (30), positioned outwardly of the anode vanes, consists of a ribbon-like metal strip (32) anchored to a support ring (31) at regular intervals around the axis to form respective, generally arcuate tuning elements (T1 ... TN). The coefficient of expansion of the strip material is greater than that of the support material, the radius of curvature of each tuning element being caused respectively to increase or decrease in response to a rise or fall of temperature. The resulting radial displacement ensures that the resonant frequency of the magnetron is substantially independent of the temperature change. <IMAGE>

Title: Scotch yoke I C engine with variable stroke and compression ratio
Inventor: HENIGES WILLIAM BERNARD
IPC: F02B75/24
Filed: 1984-11-28
Abstract: The orbital path of a slider 23 in the piston connecting yoke 17 is alterable to effect piston stroke and compression ratio changes. A crank component 25 has a crankpin 24 which carries and positions the slider. A pin 32 of the crank component is carried eccentrically by a control shaft 29. Timing gears 33, 34 drive the control shaft in basic synchronization with the output shaft 13 to maintain a constant stroke and compression ratio. Relocation of the position of the timing gears 41, 42 by an actuator (60, Fig. 5) causes the control shaft to rotationally advance or retard to reposition the crank component thereby alter the orbital path of the coaxial crankpin and slider relative to a crankshaft axis A. High and compression orbits for the slider may be selected to best suit engine loads. A slider 30 in the guide member 27 on the output shaft 13 provides for changes in the effective eccentricity of the crankpin 24. <IMAGE>
