Filed: 1972-11-22
Abstract: 1370209 Electro-medical apparatus H RODLER 22 Nov 1972 [1 Dec 1971] 54104/72 Heading G1N [Also in Division A5] In electro-diagnostic apparatus for testing rheobase, accommodation threshold, accommodation quotient, utilization time, chronaxy, and excitability of nerves and muscle fibres, a controllable constant current source, for applying a current to the body, is provided with a control device which is calibrated in output current values. As shown, the constant current source is provided by a differential amplifier 1 having the wiper of a potentiometer 2 connected at its control input. The wiper is connected to a dial 16 which moves over an indicator 15 having a logarithmic scale, and the potentiometer is optionally supplied, via a switch 5, with a triangular voltage, a rectangular voltage, a direct voltage or an impulse voltage. In operation, the triangular and rectangular voltage are each arranged to have a pulse width of 1 second and an interval of 2 seconds. The triangular voltage is first supplied to potentiometer 2, the intensity being varied by movement of the wiper until a stimulus is obtained, the intensity, which represents the accommodation threshold, being read from the scale 15. A dial 29 is then turned so that its mark corresponds to that of dial 16, and the rectangular voltage is supplied to potentiometer 2, its intensity being varied by the wiper and until a stimulus is obtained. The intensity, which represents the rheobase, is again indicated on scale 15, the value appearing in a window of dial 29 indicating the accommodation quotient. The pulse width of the rectangular voltage is then reduced using a potentiometer 9 until no stimulus is obtained, the reduced pulse width, indicated at 14, representing the utilization time. The current intensity of the amplifier 1 is then doubled using a switch 27, and the pulse width of the rectangular voltage is further reduced until no stimulus is obtained, the indicated value at 14 representing the chronaxy. Direct and impulse voltage source are also provided for application to potentiometer 2 to provide for testing of faradic and galvanic excitability. Indicator lamps inter-connected by switches are provided for indicating which tests are taking place and an alarm device is provided to indicate faulty measurement. In Fig.2 (not shown) respective potentiometers 2 are provided for receiving the triangular and rectangular voltages, the wiper of one potentiometer being connected to dial 16 and the wiper of the other being connected to dial 29. Suitable apparatus for supplying a direct and an impulse voltage to the potentiometer 2 is described with reference to Fig.3 (not shown). The apparatus may be used for electro-therapy.

Filed: 1970-11-20
Abstract: 1309280 Electrical connector tool BURNDY CORP 20 Nov 1970 [24 Nov 1969] 55279/70 Heading B4W [Also in Division H2] A tool for inserting a wired contact member 11 into a connector body C and for testing the effectiveness of the insertion has two grippers 30 with jaws 33, the grippers are biased apart by a spring 32 and connected to a body T by a tension spring 35. The grippers are normally held together by levers 25 which coact therewith via surfaces 49 engaging surfaces 44, the rotational position of the levers being determined by a cam block 29, via pins 27 and slots 28. The levers 25 are biased by a spring 40. In operation, buttons 50 are pressed inwardly so that firstly cam block 29 is moved rearwardly to open levers 25 and allow jaws 33 to move apart, then secondly (camming element 5) is moved forwardly so that tip holders 20 and tips 23 are moved apart, Fig. 10. A contact and wire W are then positioned in the tool and the buttons released. The tool is then used to position the contact in a connector body. On rearward movement of the tool away from the connector body there occurs relative movement between the grippers 30 and the tool body T. This is due to jaws 33 still gripping wire W and this relative movement produces a pull on the wire which checks if the contact is correctly and firmly positioned in the connector body C. Further movement rearwardly of the tool body causes levers 25 to move to a position where surfaces 49 no longer engage grippers 30 whereupon the jaws 33 are forced apart by spring 32. Movement of buttons 50 inwardly will move the tip holders apart and allow wire W to be removed from the tool and also reposition the grippers 30 and levers 25 into their starting positions. A sighting piece may be applied to the tool for effectively lining up the wire W relative to the tool, Fig. 15 (not shown).
