Patent GB-1302792-A (GB)
IPC: B65B35/02
Filed: 1970-04-23
Abstract: 1302792 Transferring cigarette packages between endless conveyers 23 April 1970 [9 May 1969] 19522/70 Heading B8A A device for packing cigarettes comprises a packing machine I (Fig. 6) to which is coupled a pack stacker D, a parcelling machine M coupled to receive a stack of packs of cigarettes from the pack stacker D, a pack storage unit 8 interposed between the pack stacker D and the ing means 1, 2, 3 and 4 (Fig. 1). The latter are coupled to intercept the stacks of packs X of cigarettes from the pack stacker D to feed the pack storage unit 8 when the parcelling machine M becomes inoperative, and to interpose the stacks of packs of cigarettes in the pack storage unit 8 with stacks of packs of cigarettes from the pack stacker D when the parcelling machine M resumes operation. In normal operation, stacks arriving from the stacker D on a conveyer 1 (Fig. 1), activate a ram 2 by contact with a control member 6. This feeds a stack of packs into a receptacle 7 of the storage unit 8. A pusher 3 then displaces the stack on to a conveyer 4 leading to the parcelling machine M. If the parcelling machine stops, the pusher 3 does not operate, and the storage unit steps round, the next stack from conveyer 1 being fed into another compartment 7, and so on. When the parcelling machine resumes operation, the pusher 3 re-commences, and the storage unit 8 starts stepping back in the reverse direction. After each step the pusher 3 displaces on to the conveyer 4, the stack which has been stored in the compartment 7 which is in line with the pusher. Before, however, the storage unit is stepped back further, a stack is pushed into the vacant compartment 7 from the conveyer 1. Then the storage unit is stepped back one more compartment, and so on. In the modification shown in Fig. 5, there is a further pusher 14, and the arrangement is such that the compartments 7 of the storage unit 8 are only used when the stacks are required to be stored. In normal operation, a series of stacks X are pushed by a member 2 on to a conveyer 10. When they reach a control member 12, a pusher 14 is activated and displaces the series of stacks X on to a conveyer 13 leading to the parcelling machine M. When the latter stops, the pusher 14 is deactivated and the stacks are pushed over the conveyer 10 and into the storage unit 8. When the parcelling machine resumes operation, a pusher 15 pushes the stacks one-by-one out of each compartment 7, and they are fed into a recess 16 in the pusher 14 which is shaped to receive just one stack X at a time. In this way, the stacks from the unit 8 are interposed with the incoming supply on the conveyer. The unit 8 is only stepped back when each compartment 7 is emptied. As shown in Fig. 6, the conveyer 1 may be fed by several packing machines I.

Title: Electron space charge wave amplifier tube
Inventor: HAEFF ANDREW V
IPC: H01J25/20
Filed: 1953-07-15
Abstract: 747,904. Space charge wave tubes. HUGHES AIRCRAFT CO. July 15, 1953, No. 19696/53. Class 39 (1). A space charge wave carried by an electron beam is amplified by passing the beam adjacent to an " impedance wall." The wall charge induced by the beam reacts back on the beam to increase the bunching and therefore to increase the amplitude of the space charge wave. The impedance wall must have a surface resistivity of 500-10,000 ohms/sq. cm., preferably 1000 ohms/sq. cm., its length in the direction of the beam must be several space charge wavelengths, the design being such that any wave induced in it by the beam is very highly attenuated. The beam passes as closely as possible to the impedance member to obtain maximum gain. It may consist of a coating of tin oxide on a glass tube, the thickness of the coating being less than the skin depth, or a carbon tube of a radial thickness greater than the skin depth, such structures having distributed capacitance as well as resistance. This capacitance can be over compensated by inductance, to render the member inductiveresistive, by constructing the member of metal dipoles 96, Fig. 4, embedded in dielectric material, which are preferably cut to different lengths and randomly distributed so as to increase the bandwidth, or of " ferritic " material, i.e. ceramic material having ferromagnetic properties, in the form of a thick tube. Two or more ferritic materials may be mixed together to increase the bandwidth. The input and output circuits may be helices 30, 44 as in Fig. 4, hollow helical wave-guides, Figs. 2, 3 (not shown), formed with an annular slit for passage of an annular beam, resonant cavities, Fig. 8 (not shown), or grids 125, 133, Fig. 7. If helices are used they may be terminated at their ends adjacent to the impedance wall by lossy material applied to the outside of the tube envelope around a few end turns of the helices. The input and output feeding devices may be wave-guides or coaxial lines. Electrostatic or magnetic deflecting fields may be used to make the beam path curved. A solenoid 56, Fig. 4, focuses the beam. The hollow helical waveguides, Figs. 2, 3 (not shown) are of non-ferrous material such as copper, silver or silver-plated copper. In Fig. 7 electrostatic focusing is used. The beam may be approximately parallelsided, but preferably converges and then diverges as indicated, the impedance member 132 conforming to the shape of the beam. Its cross-section is also similarly shaped to the beam cross-section which may be circular, or elongated, e.g. rectangular. For a rectangular sectioned beam the electrostatic lens is cylindrical and comprises cylindrically concave cathode 121 and grid 125, and focusing electrode 131. Grid 133 and collector 134 are also cylindrically concave. In the resonant cavity form, Fig. 8 (not shown), the cavities may be of annular or elongated cross-section depending on the cross-section of the beam.

Title: Improvements relating to windscreen wipers
IPC: B60S1/34
Filed: 1946-07-03
Abstract: 613,795. Windscreen wipers. TRICOFOLBERTH, Ltd., and BODDY, J. July 3, 1946, No. 19944. [Class 138 (i)] [Also in Group XXIV] The wiper-carrying arm of a windscreen wiper is mounted on an oscillating shaft by means of a mounting socket engaging a head having a bore which fits on to the shaft, and a spring is mounted either in the shaft or in the head, the shaft and head being formed so that when the head is mounted on the shaft the spring engages a groove or recess in the head or in the shaft and so secures the one to the other. The head may be made of metal or other suitable material, such as that known under the Registered Trade Mark "Bakelite," or other plastic, and its outer peripheral surface may be fluted or splined and slightly conical, to engage an inner surface of the socket. In one form of the invention, Fig. 3, the spring 9, lodged in a longitudinal groove 7 in the shaft, has one end held in a transverse bore 8 and the other end held in a recess 10 in the head. In a second form, Fig. 4, the spring has a circular portion 15 lying in a peripheral groove in the head, which groove is deepened at one place to cut across the bore, whereby a straight portion 16 of the spring lies across the bore and rests in a groove in the periphery of the shaft. In all forms, the shaft has a flat portion whereby it fits into a D-shaped bore in the head, to prevent relative rotation. In a third form, Fig. 7, the shaft has a second flat 17 on which lies a leaf spring 18 whose inner end is bent into a groove 19 in the shaft, and whose outer end is bent into a recess 20 in the head. The flat 17 is tapered as at 21 to allow the outer end of the spring to be depressed to release the head. In a modification, the groove 19 occurs at the inner end of the tapered portion 21. In a fourth form, Fig. 10, the spring consists of a resilient wire 26 fitted in transverse holes in the head and held in position by staking over the ends, and rests in a transverse groove in the shaft, an arcuate recess 27 being provided in the head to allow flexing of the wire for release purposes. Specification 560,559, [Group XXIV], is referred to.
Patent GB-651766-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in or relating to adsorption plant
IPC: B01D53/04
Filed: 1948-07-26
Abstract: <PICT:0651766/III/1> In the recovery of solvent vapours from air or gas by adsorption on a solid followed by expulsion of the solvent by steaming, the passage of the solvent-laden gas from a supply main 21 through a descending main 17 and upwardly through the adsorber 1 containing, for example, silica gel or carbon, is controlled by a single gas-outlet valve 10 which is automatically closed on admission of steam at 12, and during the steaming operation the vapours are expelled from the adsorber in a reverse direction and are condensed in the descending main 17 by direct contact with a cooling liquid, e.g. water or a water-solvent mixture, introduced at 22, any uncondensed vapour being returned to supply main 21. Condensate from main 17 passes through indirect cooler 25 into separator 26 from which the heavier and lighter liquids are withdrawn at 28, 27. Direct cooling water may be added to separator 26 and the cooler 25 dispensed with.  Cooling water may also be introduced to the absorber below the adsorbent bed 2 or below a pebble layer 3 or into pipe 6. The valve controlling the supply of cooling water to main 17 may be thermostatically operated by the temperature in main 17.  Main 17 may contain packing elements or bubble cap plates.  Gas outlet valve 10 is actuated by steam pressure on a piston 9, the upward movement of which causes disc 8 to be seated in the outlet 7.  At the same time a port 14 is uncovered and allows steam to pass through orifice 15 into the adsorber.  The rate of closing of valve 10 is adjusted by a needle valve 16.  If desired, an ordinary hydraulically operated or diaphragm valve may be employed in which case it is steam actuated through the medium of a cold fluid. Several adsorber units may be connected to the supply main 21 and the descending mains 17 connected at 24.  Steam valves 12 of all the units may be operated automatically and successively.  In modifications additional water or water-solvent mixture recirculated from the separator may be introduced to an intermediate point in the main 17 and a concentrated solvent-water mixture may be withdrawn from the upper part of the main 17 by the provision of an annular collecting tray and withdrawal means (Figs. 2, 3, 4, not shown).

Title: Helical scan recorders
IPC: G11B15/61
Filed: 1975-05-13
Abstract: 1479862 Helical scan recorder INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS MACHINES CORP 13 May 1975 [12 July 1974] 20011/75 Heading G3N A helical scan recorder has the tape 11 transported by a pre-set number of tachometer pulses to read a desired stripe thereon, which number is adjusted in accordance with sensed offset of the rotating head W from a stripe centre line on the tape 11. The free end of tape 11 is unwound from spool 10 through a vacuum column or buffer bin 75, helically round a stationary mandrel 76 including head W, on to take up capstan 77 driven by motor 78 under control of position servo 79. The tape has parallel stripes 20, Fig. 2, is as described in Specification 1479861, and operations are controlled by device recording control DRC connected to a CPU or data channel. Data recording area 16 lies between servo tracks 17 and 19 identifying data stripes 20 and the head ideally moves along the stripe centre (27A) Fig. 4 (not shown). The servo format, Fig. 5 (not shown) includes redundant sensing of head to track alignment to measure the skew between head path and stripe. The servo track part (50), Fig. 6 (not shown) has constant frequency data patterns separated by distinctive sync patterns. Constant frequency transitions passed by head W are counted until a sync mark is detected when the constant frequency transitions to the right of the sync mark decrement the count. Any non zero remainder indicates offset as described in Specification 1455890. The DRC calculates K = number of tachometer pulses between two adjacent stripes = for various zones on the tape, where R = tape up spool hub radius, T = tape thickness, L = tape length round hub, S = stripe spacing and C = number of tachometer pulses per motor (capstan) revolution. Upon receipt of a command to transduce a stripe or stripes, the tape is rapidly moved to the eighth stripe from the first stripe to be transduced and the DRC sets counter 85, whose contents are modified in dependence on any detected offset from detector 70. These control position servo 79 and spool motor 78 via step distance counter/ adder 122 and the spool is stopped when tachometer 78A pulses have counted down the contents to zero. The approach to the desired stripe includes a pre-set step and a calibrate step followed by an operate phase which is stated to have.high noise rejection properties.
