Abstract: Abstract of the Disclosure A thermal ink transfer printing apparatus comprising a carriage moved along the rotating shaft of a platen roller, and a thermal head provided with a row of heating elements.  A fixture which is urged back-ward by a spring is rotatably attached to the carriage and to the front side of which is attached the thermal head.  A solenoid is fixed on the carriage with its core rod contacted with the backside of the fixture.  An ink ribbon fed from an ink ribbon feeding reel and wound around an ink ribbon winding reel after passing through the thermal head.  The ink ribbon feeding and winding reels are arranged on the carriage.  When current is applied to the solenoid, the thermal head is pressed against the platen roller to closely contact the ink ribbon with a recording sheet on the circumference of the platen roller, while when current supply is stopped to the solenoid, the thermal head is retreated to peel off the ink ribbon from the recording sheet.  When blanks corresponding to two serial characters are applied to the thermal head, both of current supply to the solenoid and the winding of the ink ribbon are stopped, to thereby avoid the winding of the ink ribbon unused.

Title: Apparatus for cleaning filters in pressurized fluid  flow systems
Inventor: BELLEMANN RUDOLF
IPC: B01D29/62
Filed: 1984-02-29
Granted: 1987-04-28
Abstract: Abstract of the Disclosure The reverse flow cleaning process is initiated either automatically by a timing or pressure sensitive device, or manually, by opening an outlet which allows the flow of water, thereby creating a pressure difference.  The pressure difference not only creates a reverse flow from the clean to the dirty filter side, but also moves a wiping element having a smaller inlet area than the surface of the filter across the latter surface at a controlled speed. The return of the wiper  element to the original position is accomplished either by a spring or hydraulic reset element. Damping is provided to insure that the motion of the wiper is a slow, steady motion.  In a special construction, the wiper element consists of a multiplicity of individual elements elastically pressed against the inside, dirty side of a hollow cylindrical filter.  The wiper elements are mounted in a piston-like element which moves in response to the pressure difference carrying the wiper elements with it.
