Title: Improvements in or relating to television cameras
Inventor: JACKSON DONALD
IPC: H04N5/232
Filed: 1959-10-12
Abstract: 953,053. Television. PYE Ltd. Oct. 12, 1960 [Oct. 12, 1959], No. 34523/59. Heading H4F. [Also in Division G6] One or more controls of a television camera, or attachments thereto, such as optical devices or mechanized grabs, are actuated remotely by pneumatic means, pressure to operate the pneumatic means being derived from a gas which is circulated through the body of the camera for cooling. The invention is described as applied to a camera 1 of the type described in Specification 923,815 where a cooling gas is supplied to the camera through a hose assembly 2 as described in Specification 923,816. In accordance with one aspect of the invention a cylinder and piston arrangement 4, 7 is provided in the camera and connected to the remote control position by a pipe 8 which terminates in a valve 9 selectively operable (1) to connect the pipe with the atmosphere, (2) to connect the pipe with gas in hose assembly 2, and (3) to close the end of the pipe. The cylinder 4 has an opening 5 to the gas pressure in the camera, a connecting-rod 6 from the cylinder being taken through the opening to actuate a camera control, for example the camera focusing. When valve 9 connects pipe 8 to hose 2, which is at a higher pressure than the camera housing, cylinder 7 is moved towards opening 5. A reverse movement is produced by connecting pipe 8 to the atmosphere. Closing the end of the pipe holds the piston stationary. According to another aspect of the invention (not illustrated in detail) a turbine impeller may be used in place of the cylinder and piston, particularly where a rotational movement is required. Reference is also made to the use of bellows in place of the cylinder and piston. Pipe 8 may be one of the small outer hoses of the assembly described in Specification 923,816.

Abstract: 1,186,842. Two-part couplings. C.I.T.- COMPAGNIE INDUSTRIELLE DES TELECOMMUNICATIONS. 19 July, 1968 [19 July, 1967], No. 34557/68. Heading H2E. In an electrical connector for a printed circuit board 1, Fig. 1, in which the board edge 4 is inserted into the longitudinal socket 9 of a male body 7, Fig. 3, and secured therein via holes 6, (6<1>, Fig. 4), the male body 7 is inserted into a socket 50 of a female body 20, Fig. 6. This order of assembly reduces the wear on the printed conductors of the circuit board as the bowed portions 11, 12 of resilient clips 80 in the male body 7 do not exert their full pressure on the conductors until the combination of board and body 7 is inserted into the socket 50 of body 20. The clips 80 are secured in the body 7 by detents 13 at their upper ends and by shoulders (87, Fig. 4) at their lower ends. The strip contacts 24 in the body 20, Fig. 6, are secured by hooked ends 25 and twisted terminals 23 and are made of material harder than that of the board conductors so as to better withstand sliding wear. The thickness of the board is approximately that of the socket 9 in body 7 and the dimension C of the body 7 is equal to that of the socket 50 in body 20. Thus the bowed portions 11, 12, Fig. 3, are compressed to a width equal to the wall thickness of body 7 to ensure reasonable contact pressure. Welded attachments to the board can be made by jumper leads, using the portions 8 of the clips 80. The clips 80 may each be provided with longitudinally extending slits (15, Fig. 4) in their bowed portions. In the body 20, Fig. 6, partitions (29, Fig. 7) separate adjacent strip contacts 24.
