Patent GB-724295-A (GB)
Abstract: 724,295. Cash registers. NATIONAL CASH REGISTER CO. March 6, 1953 [March 22, 1952], No. 6258/53. Class 100 (4). [Also in Group XIX] Hammer impression mechanism and interlocks are described in a cash register (see Group XIX) for printing labels for use in a self-service store. Hammer impression.-A hammer 110 pivoted on a shaft 129 is operated by a cam 135 which initially rocks an arm 132 counter-clockwise to allow a spring 130 to cock the hammer, a stud 131 in which engages a part of the arm 132, and then suddenly releases the arm 132 to a strong spring 133 which through the stud 131 operates the hammer. In certain operations, a cam 143 is operative to rock a lever 139, a surface 138 of which blocks a stud 137 in the hammer so that the hammer is not cocked. Interlocking devices.-As the supply of label material becomes exhausted, a roller arm 273 engaging the roll of material rocks a lever 280 clockwise until a stud 282 therein rides off the edge of a pawl 288 carried by an arm 284 fast with a lever 286. A spring 292 then rocks the lever 286 clockwise to move an ear 294 thereof into the path of a lever 76 controlling the operation of the main clutch in the driving mechanism of the machine. Operation of the machine is thus prevented. When a new supply roll is to be inserted, the arm 273 is rocked outwardly to a position where it is held by the engagement of the stud 282 in a notch in the arm 284, this engagement again permitting the lever 286 to move to blocking position. The lever 280 is unlatched by manual operation of an extension 297 of the lever 286.

Title: Cathode ray tube beam system
IPC: G01R13/26
Filed: 1978-09-07
Abstract: A CRT display system includes a blanking arrangement whereby a signal a for varying the voltage on a grid 6 of the CRT to blank the display is applied to the grid via an a.c. coupling means 16, and is also used to cause high frequency pulses b to be applied to the grid via another a.c. coupling means 18 during the periods when the display is to be blanked. The high frequency components of the blanking signal from the first said coupling means 16, and the low frequency components from the second said coupling means 18, are mixed at the grid to reproduce the blanking signal, and this is restored to a high, negative level by d.c. restoring means, e.g. diode means 10. Preferably the high frequency pulses are derived from a d.c.-d.c. converter of a power supply of the apparatus, and have the same amplitude as the blanking signal. <IMAGE>

Title: Shaping a length of tubing
IPC: B29C53/08
Filed: 1978-10-31
Abstract: A method of manufacturing an article having a pre-determined shape from heat mouldable material characterised by the steps of heating a tubular blank of the material to a temperature, below its softening point, at which it is mouldable, by flowing heated liquid through the blank and thereafter cooling the heated tubular blank while maintaining it in the predetermined shape in a constrained state such that on release of the constraint after cooling, it assumes the predetermined shape. The blank may be cooled by flowing cooling liquid through it after the flow of heating liquid is terminated. The blank may comprise a substantial length of tubing which is sufficiently flexible to permit it to be set to the required shape, e.g. a coil, either at room temperature or at a raised temperature on a jig, former, cradle or other support structure.
