Granted: 1998-01-21
Abstract: A system for tuning a piano or a similar instrument comprises a metal assembly 44 or unit 50, preferably cast iron, composite, zinc or alloy material containing lubricating elements, and tuning pins 10. The pin 10 may have a recessed portion 14 surrounded by a sleeve 30 preferably of bronze or brass to assist and protect the pin when being tuned. The pin 10 has a radial head 12 which seats into a complementary radial bore 31 within aperture 26 allows the pin 10 to rotate about and swivel across its axis 24. The pin 10 and sleeve 30 are held in the assembly 44 or unit 50 under compression from lockscrew 34 bearing down upon the flat head 32 of the pin with the pin pivoting on curved end 38 of the lockscrew 34. The tuning end is free to move within the aperture clearance 33. The tuning system can be provided either as an individual self contained pin 10, sleeve 30 and lockscrew 34 in an assembly 44, or one or more blocks or sectioned units 50 of said pins, which are mounted to the piano frame preferably from the rear by means of one or more screw threaded lugs 27.

Abstract: Apparatus (10) for detecting containers (12) of predetermined diameter that includes a pair of optical proximity sensors (28,30) positioned adjacent to a container conveyor (14) such that light energy from the sensors is incident sequently on the containers as the containers pass on the conveyor adjacent to the sensors. The sensors (28,30) are adjustable positionable with respect to each other such that the sensors are spaced from each other in the direction of container motion (60) on the conveyor. An electronic circuit (52,54,56) is coupled to the sensors (28,30) for detecting passage of containers (12) on the conveyor (14) while ignoring dithering of the containers. In the preferred embodiment of the invention, the sensors (28,30) are mounted on a common support (20) having a scale (44,46) for measuring separation between the sensors. Printed indicia in units of container diameter, preferably in both English and metric unit, is affixed to the support (20) adjacent to the scale. One (28) of the sensors is mounted on the support adjacent to a "zero" reference point on the scale indicia, and the other (30) sensor is adjustably positionable on the support adjacent to the scale. The support (20) in the preferred embodiment of the invention takes the form of a housing enclosing the sensors and having an elongated window (34) parallel to the conveyor (14) through which containers on the conveyor are exposed to the sensors. <IMAGE>

Abstract: The invention concerns a supporting framework in particular for house furniture, the framework taking the form of a rectangular grid structure consisting of load-bearing vertical supports and horizontal adjustable panels (4) inserted between these supports. Preferably, the furniture constructed from the kit also comprises adjustable units which are provided with movable door and/or window elements (5) and are accessible from the front, the back of the units generally being closed by a rear panel which covers the entire area and, as well as providing greater protection from dust, also increases rigidity at the corners of the furniture. The supporting framework comprises ladder-like supports which consist of at least two - or in the case of furniture with a graduated cross-sectional shape generally of three - prefabricated vertical uprights (10) extending parallel at a spacing from each other. The supports also consist of intermediate members (11) which interconnect these uprights (10) in a manner such that a spacing is determined therebetween. The uprights (10) have recesses which are provided in rows at a predetermined separating spacing (E) from one another and are used to hold in a positioned and load-bearing manner preferably cross-bars (2, 2', 2") which are likewise made from prefabricated extruded profiled sections and cut to size. In cross-section these recesses can preferably be dove-tailed transverse grooves (16), sawtooth-shaped cut-outs producing horizontal support surfaces, or bores accommodating carrier bolts projecting in a bracket-like manner.
