Abstract: 414,555. Recording sound. EISLER, P., 36, Novaragasse, Vienna. Nov. 14, 1933, No. 31741. Convention date, Nov. 14, 1932. [Class 40 (ii).] Sound is graphically recorded on a strip of paper or film 7, to form a record bounded on one side by the edge of the strip, and on the other side by the wave form of the sound, by means of a pen or style 6 which vibrates transversely as the strip travels longitudinally. The recording member is shaped to produce a surface representation as distinct from a line representation and, in the case of a pen, may be fed with ink through a flexible tube from a container mounted on a non-oscillating part of the recording mechanism. The style &c. may be coupled directly or indirectly to an oscillating coil 4<c> which is actuated by an electromagnet 4<a> excited by a coil 4b connected through an amplifier 3 and a cable 2 to a microphone 1.

Title: Improvements in or relating to photographic shutters
IPC: G03B9/34
Filed: 1938-11-04
Abstract: 520,956. Photographic cameras. KODAK, Ltd. Nov. 4, 1938, Nos. 31989 and 31990. Convention dates, Nov. 13, 1937 and Dec. 22, 1937. Drawings to Specification. [Class 98 (i)] In a focal-plane photographic shutter slow exposures are timed by an escapement mechanism driven by a rack carried by a mount which, after initial movement of the blinds to form an exposure opening, is moved by an element rotating with one of the blinds to cause the rack to engage a ratchet on the escapement mechanism, the mount then acting as a stop for the rotating element until moved out of its path by the traversing movement of the rack, whereupon the element is freed and allows the shutter to close, the time of exposure being controlled by the duration of the driving contact between the rack and ratchet which is predetermined by the position of a manually-controlled speed-regulating member. The shutter described embodying the invention is the same as that described in Specification 520,957, in which a spring driven delay action gear train is connected with the escapement mechanism by a one-way coupling so that the latter is also employed to control the delay action. Specifications 513,738 and 520,954 also are referred to.

Title: Improvements relating to printing rollers and other articles made from synthetic resins
IPC: B41N7/00
Filed: 1947-12-04
Abstract: A composition for treating articles made of synthetic resins (see Group IV (a)) comprises a solution, dispersion or emulsion of one or more of tricresylphosphate, dibutylphthalate, dioctylphthalate, dihexylphthalate and dicaprylphthalate in a light mineral oil, which is preferably a petroleum distillate having a viscosity of about 2 centistokes at 100 DEG  F. and a boiling point range of 150 DEG  to 200 DEG  C.ALSO:A method for preventing the deterioration of or for restoring the deteriorated surface of a printing roller or other article made from a plasticized synthetic resin, the characteristics of resiliency and tackiness of which depend on its plasticizer content, consists in applying to the surface sufficient plasticizer to maintain these characteristics, or where deterioration has taken place, restore or partially restore them. The plasticizer may be applied by spraying, immersing, dipping or wiping down the roller in or with the plasticizer in liquid form or in or with a liquid containing the plasticizer in solution, dispersion or emulsion, or by producing the plasticizer in situ on the surface of the roller or other article by applying separate solutions or dispersions of substances which will react together to produce the plasticizer. Preferably the plasticizer is applied in solution, dispersion or emulsion in light mineral oil.  The invention is particularly applicable to rollers produced from polyvinyl compounds, such as polyvinyl chloride, polyvinyl acetate, polyvinyl butyral and polyvinyl acetal, or copolymers or mixtures thereof which have been plasticized with one or more of tricresyl phosphate, dibutylphthalate, dioctylphthalate, dihexylphthalate and dicarprylphthalate.

Abstract: 996,765. Closing bags and tubular casings. RIDGECOURT Ltd. Aug. 8, 1963 [Aug. 21, 1962], No. 32002/62. Heading B8C. A machine for tying a wire clip around a body of flexible material such as a bag neck or sausage casing comprises a reciprocable driver plunger and an anvil for deforming the clip, means being provided for varying the distance between the operative end of the plunger and the anvil at the end of the forward stroke enabling the area of the closed loop to be varied. The bunched neck of a package is placed in a recess 7 in the anvil 4 and a pneumatically operated plunger 3 is guided downwards carrying a clip C from a magazine (Fig. 1, not shown). The plunger deforms the clip against the anvil from its initial U shape into a closed loop about the casing. The length of the stroke of the plunger is varied by co-operating wedges 29 and 30 (Fig. 5), each of forked form with wedge surfaces on the under and upper sides respectively. The wedges are disposed in a bottom recess 31 of the air cylinder so as to be in the path of a piston boss 19. The point at which the downward travel is arrested can be varied by a screw 32. According to the way the anvil is grooved the ends of the clip either abut each other, or overlap and lie side by side or are bent inwards towards the article. A duplex arrangement may be provided for securing two clips simultaneously (not shown).

Title: Improvements in or relating to electronic counting and computing arrangements
IPC: H03K29/00
Filed: 1953-11-19
Abstract: 805,231. Electric counting and digital-datastorage apparatus. ERICSSON TELEPHONES Ltd., and ACTON, J. R. Feb. 15, 1955 [Nov. 19, 1953], No. 32072/53. Class 106 (1). In an arrangement for counting and storing pulses including a multi-cathode gaseous discharge tube of the kind having a pair of guide electrodes between successive cathodes, each pulse causes a glow discharge to be produced and invest a cathode and the application of sequential pulses to the guide electrodes causes a glow discharge to move and invest an adjoining cathode. Thus a plurality of glow discharges can be set up in a single tube DTD by applying a negative voltage VG selectively to points J1, J2 . . . J9, J10 in the circuits of the main cathodes T1, T2 . . . T10. VD supplies anode current through a load R13, and the potential of the anode A is held substantially constant by a voltage source VC connected through a diode DTC. The pattern of discharges investing the main cathodes T1. . . T10 at any time can be shifted in either direction by supplying negative pulses to two groups of guide electrodes GA1 . . . GA10, GB1 . . . GB10, in succession. These pulses could be developed by switches SW1, SW2 and voltage sources VE, VF or by the other known means. Further means for stabilizing the anode potential during shifting operations include diodes DTA, DTD connected to voltage sources VA and VB respectively. Signals developed at points N1 . . . N10 due to the presence of a glow discharge may be fed to an output terminal OP. The tube may be operated so that some discharges are stepped round in a positive direction while others are being stepped in a negative direction. Some or all of the main cathodes T1 . . . T10 may each be connected to a separate source of pulses to be counted, and the periodic application of pulses to the guide electrodes GA and GB be adapted to move the discharges to an output lead so as to collect and count pulses from a plurality of sources. Counting tubes having three guide electrodes between each pair of main cathodes may also be used. Specifications 712,171 and 805,232 are referred to.

Abstract: 1,034,553. Soldering. ANGLO-NETHERLAND TECHNICAL EXCHANGE Ltd. Aug. 6, 1964, No. 32111/64. Heading B3R. A soldering tool or attachment therefor has solder removal means comprising a channel, having a restriction, along which a gas stream may be passed and a duct opening into the channel downstream of the restriction so that molten solder may be sucked into the duct. In an embodiment air is caused to flow along a tube 1 from a bulb or pump and through tubing 3 into a restricting duct 4 provided in a bit 5. The restricting duet terminates in the narrow end of a conical channel 6 into which narrow end a duct 8 extending from the working tip 9 of the iron terminates. The bit 5 is integrally formed with a member 10 having a cavity 11 for the heating element and a support 12 supports a discharge pipe 7 to ensure that the pipe is heated. The air stream flowing through the pipe 7 causes suction at the duct 8 to draw solder melted by the tip 9 into the pipe and from thence into a receptacle 14. In a modification the tubes 1, 3, the bit 5, the tip 9 and the collector 14 are arranged differently and form an attachment easily fitted to a conventional soldering iron.
