Title: Case shift mechanism for typewriters
IPC: B41J25/24
Filed: 1960-07-25
Abstract: 891,070. Typewriters. INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS MACHINES CORPORATION. July 25, 1960 [Aug. 12, 1959], No. 25828/60. Class 100(4) A case-shift mechanism for moving a typecarrying member 1, Fig. 1, comprises means for urging it to one case position, means including a cam member 16, movable in one direction for forcing the type-carrier 1 to other case position and movable in the opposite direction for controlling the rate of movement of the type-carrier 1 under the urging means, a power roll 35, a power cam 33 for moving cam 16 in the one direction and controlling rate of movement in the other opposite direction, latching means 18, 25 for holding power cam 33 free of power roll 35 and a key-lever 42 operable to release the latching means to initiate a case-shift operation. As shown in Fig. I the type-carrying member is a basket 1 and is latched in lower-case position. Operation of the key-lever 42 works a link 57, one of the arms 50, 51, loosely mounted on pin 26, and moves the latch element 25. A key-lever link 41 also pivots a release lever 39, this releases a pin 36 on the power cam 33, whereupon a spring arm 47 rocks the cam into engagement with power roll 35. There is, at first, a small counter-clockwise movement of a control lever 30 due to the shape of cam 33 but then the latter controls the spring urged case shift movement through the mechanism 29, 18, 16, 15, 12, 10, 9. When the key-lever 42 is released the lever 39 is moved into the path of a pin 36 and a spring arm 47, acting on the pin 46, causes the cam 33 to engage the power roll 35 which effects power shift of the basket back to its raised or lower-case position. The case-shift mechanism may also be applied to a typewriter employing a truncated spherical type-member 68 as shown in Fig. 2. In this case the upper and lower case type are on different sides of a vertical bisecting plane and the sphere is rotated by a tape 69 controlled by follower 80 and cam 82 worked in a manner similar to a follower and cams 15, 16 described above.

Abstract: 713,403. Semiconductor plate rectifiers. LICENTIA PATENT-VERWALTUNGS GES. Oct. 15, 1952, [Oct. 15, 1951.] No. 25861/52. Class 37. A dry plate rectifier has a semiconductive intermediate layer between the semiconductor material and the counter electrode, consisting of one or more cadmium compounds and the counter electrode material contains less than 1 per cent cadmium. The semiconductor may consist of selenium, the intermediate layer of cadmium selenide or cadmium sulphide, and the counter electrode of a low melting point metallic material such as bismuth or a bismuth-tin alloy. The layer may be produced thermically, cataphoretically, electrolytically, chemically or mechanically, or by applying its components to the selenium and then producing the layer by chemical reaction. The counter electrode may be applied by spraying in air. The arrangement avoids variation of characteristics during use, owing to the formation of a selenide due to say cadmium ions from a cadmium counter electrode penetrating the selenium.
