Title: Improvements in or relating to aligning devices for printing formes
IPC: G03F9/00
Filed: 1960-10-14
Abstract: 913,568. Setting-up printing formes in chases. BOEIJINGA, R. Oct. 14, 1960 [Oct. 17, 1959], No. 35347/60. Class 100 (3). An aligning device for fitting printing plates or blocks in a chase, comprises a sheet of transparent material 1, a guide-rod 4 to which the sheet is slidably and detachably connected, a guide-rod 7 on which one end of the rod 4 is slidable through a sleeve 6 carrying the rod 4 and slidable along the rod 7, two abutments 11, 12 slidable on the rod 7, a connecting-rod 13 between the abutments and on which the abutments are adjustable parallel to the guide-rod 7, and bolts for securing the abutments to the rods 7 and 13. The rod 7 is rigidly fixed to the printer's table. Rollers 14 are arranged on the sleeve 6 for supporting the sleeve on the printer's table whilst the T-section ruler 15 is rigidly fixed to the rod 7. The rod 4 and the ruler 15 have at their ends remote from the rod 7, rollers 16, 17, which run on the table. In use, printing chases A and B (or chase B and an original) are laid side-by-side. The face of the original is located in the plane of the printing surface of the printing forme. The chase B with or without forme elements, is disposed parallel with a ruler 15 by aligning the inside of the margins of the chase with the ruler. The distance between the abutments 11 and 12 is then adjusted to the distance between the margins of the chase B. The transparent sheet 1 is adjusted relatively to the original A by locating the sleeve 6 against the abutment 12. A few outlines are drawn on the sheet 1 from the original and the sleeve 6 is shifted to the abutment 11 so that the forme elements to be fitted in the chase B can be exactly fitted by having the contours thereof and the outlines on the transparent sheet in register. The forme elements can therefore be correctly arranged and fixed in chase B without the necessity of removing the sheet 1.

Title: A method and installation for filling sterilized containers in a sterile space with a sterilized substance and a subsequent closure of said containers
IPC: B67C7/00
Filed: 1963-09-09
Abstract: 1,023,046. Bottling in a sterile atmosphere; packaging-machines. GEBR. STORK & CO'S APPARATENFABRIEK N.V. Sept. 9, 1963 [Sept. 17, 1962], No. 35437/63. Headings B8C and B8T. A method of filling and closing sterilized containers such as bottles and tins with a sterilized substance, which may be a liquid such as milk or a granular or powdered material, is carried out in a sterilized atmosphere, the substance being continuously fed to the containers from a distributer moved in synchronism with the containers which are themselves continuously carried into and through the sterile atmosphere. In the embodiment shown, bottles 6, filled with disinfectant from a tank 24 at a feed station 4, enter carriers 28 of a conveyer 3 which transfers the bottles into a sterile atmosphere 2 maintained within a housing 1. A disinfectant bath 10 seals the adjacent end 12 of the housing 1 and the bottles are initially carried below the liquid level in the bath and are subsequently emptied of disinfectant along path 8 of the conveyer. The sterilized substance is introduced through a pipe 14 terminating in four nozzles 15, which nozzles overhang funnels 17 of a distributer 16 moved synchronously with the conveyer 3. The rate of discharge from each nozzle 15 is so determined that each funnel 17 receives therefrom a quarter of the volume of a bottle 6. In this way the bottles are gradually filled as shown. In the event of discontinuities in the feeding of bottles the substance is caught by a plate 19 and passed to a sterilizer via a pipe 20. A closure device 18 (not described) provides the bottles with sterile closures, the bottles then passing through a tunnel 31 and partially through disinfectant in a second bath 11 to be picked up and discharged by a conveyer 33 and a conventional device 34. The outlet end 13 of the housing 1 is partly sealed by the liquid in bath 11 and partly by maintaining within the housing a pressure somewhat greater than atmospheric by means of a sterileair blower 21 so that entry of air through tunnel 31 is prevented. The conveyer 3 is submerged in bath 11 and so remains uncontaminated. A steam inlet 22 for the periodic sterilization of the entire assembly is also provided. In a second embodiment, Figs. 2-5 (not shown), the second disinfectant bath is dispensed with and the distributer 50 comprises an annular member 53 rotatable in a horizontal plane. The bottles are removed laterally from the housing by means of guide rails 54.

Title: Improvements in magnetic core matrices
IPC: G06F7/38
Filed: 1959-10-20
Abstract: 884,503. Magnetic storage devices. INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS MACHINES CORPORATION. Oct. 20, 1959 [Oct. 20, 1958], No. 35497/59. Class 40 (9). [Also in Group XIX] In a matrix of magnetic cores, each of the cores is held initially at a saturated state of positive remanence A1 (Fig. 2) by biasing currents in a pair of control windings, a core is marked by interrupting the biasing currents so that the core assumes a stable state b of positive remanence, and is read out by applying in a read-out sample winding a counter current of such magnitude that only the marked core is driven to the stable state of negative remanence d. A core matrix is used for addition or subtraction by complement addition. A decimal digit is represented by a two-out-of-five code, the bits having values 0, 1, 2, 3, 6, and an operation is performed by selecting a row representative of the addend or subtrahend, and a column representative of the augend or minuend, the result being represented by the core at the intersection of the selected row and column. The augend or subtrahend may be modified to take account of carry from the previous operation and each core thus has the following input windings, each comprising 2 out of the possible 5 input lines, true windings 31, 32 for addition, complement windings 33, 34 for subtraction, carry 35, 36, and no-carry 38, 39. Additionally, there are the read-out sample winding 45 and sense windings 46, 47, which are. energized by the switching of the selector core, together with a sense winding 48, 48<SP>1</SP> which sets either a carry or a no-carry latch. There is an extra carry winding 37 on the extreme right-hand column of the matrix and no-carry winding 40 on the extreme left-hand column to provide for unique core selection under any input condition. The sense windings are arranged in diagonals connecting cores of which the sum of the co-ordinates are the same : thus the 1- and 3-bit sense lines thread the cores in the diagonal (0, 4) to (4,0) and (10, 4) to (4, 10) which represent a sum (or difference) of 4. A general arrangement is shown in Fig. 1, in which numbers from a memory 1 are dynamicized in stepping registers 4, 5 appearing in series-parallel form on channels 6, 7. The signals on channel 6 are used to control either a carry windings driver 10 or a no-carry windings driver 10a, depending on the condition of the respective latches 9a, 14a as set by the previous operation and which control gates 8, 8a. The signals on channel 7 control either true windings driver 10b or complement windings driver 10b as determined by unit 20 which controls gates 8b, 8c as well as registers 4 and 5. The output of the matrix may be entered into register 5.

IPC: B41F31/30
Filed: 1965-08-20
Abstract: 1,088,659. Inking apparatus; rotary machines. VAN DAM MACHINE CORPORATION. Aug. 20, 1965, No. 35757/65. Heading B6C. In a printing unit comprising a frame 1 mounting a plate cylinder 15 and a train of rollers 6, 8, 9, 11, 13 and 12 for transferring ink to the cylinder from an ink fountain 5 each of the two forme rollers 12 is rotatably mounted on an eccentrically mounted spindle 18 having journals 19 and 20 for mounting in the frame 1. An extension 19a of the journal 19 has a wormwheel 21 keyed thereto. A pair of discs 22 and 23 are solid with each other and rotatably mounted on the extension 19a. A worm shaft 24 is rotatably mounted in two blocks 25, solid with the discs 22, 23, and carries a worm 26, meshing with the worm-wheel 21, and a helical gear 27 meshing with a further helical gear 28. Gear 28 rotates with a gear 29 meshing with a gear 30 rotatable with a manually operable knurled nut 31. Rotation of this nut on the extension 19a thus causes a reduced rotation of the wheel 21 and the spindle 18 whereby very fine adjustment of the operative position of the spindle may be achieved. Bodily movement of the discs about their common axis entrains the extension 19a and the spindle 18. The arrangement comprising the discs 22, 23, wheel 21, worm 26, gears 27 to 30 and the nut 31 is also fitted to one end of the plate cylinder shaft which is eccentrically mounted so that manipulation of the arrangement effects adjustment of the plate cylinder relative to the offset cylinder 3. Bodily movement of the discs is obtained by means of handles 32 or a lever arm 33, and is used to retract or advance the forme rollers from or to the cylinder 15 or the cylinder from or to the offset cylinder. This movement is limited by stops solid with the discs, e.g. the stop 34 engaging corresponding abutments on the frame, e.g. the abutment 35. Thus an operative position of the discs 22, 23 is defined and the actual position of the rollers 12 or cylinder 15 when the discs are in the operative position, is adjustable by the relative nut 31. An offset printing machine may comprise a plurality of such units having a common offset cylinder.

Abstract: 1,160,772. Automatic temperature control systems. GLOBE-UNION Inc. Aug. 11, 1966 [Sept. 20, 1965], No. 35920/66. Heading G3R. A temperature control system comprises in combination a thermally insulated chamber enclosing a plurality of containers having thermally conductive walls, means for distributing a stream of heat transfer fluid around the outside of the walls, and auxiliary means associated with each container so that the temperature therein is maintained at a determined temperature level. The containers may be each divided into parts each part being separately controlled by a temperature responsive resistor circuit which switches an electric heater from a lower to a higher voltage supply. The sensors and heaters may be connected sequentially to a common control unit. The containers may be arranged so that the fluid follows a serpentine path which fluid is normally below the temperature required in the container. The fluid temperature may be sensed and cooled in say a fluid/water unit 14 to a determined temperature and then heated in another unit, or one unit may be disabled. The containers may house electrical equipment the properties of which are tested by circuits not forming parts of the invention. If the test supply is intermittent, additional heat is supplied to the containers in the "dead" period by switching the part heaters to a higher voltage supply. The sensing resistors and heaters may be of hairpin configuration extending along the length of each part to sense the average temperature and to distribute heat evenly (see Fig. 6 not shown).

Abstract: 997,467. Moulding insulated cabinets. GENERAL ELECTRIC CO. Sept. 12, 1963 [Sept. 13, 1962], No. 36077/63. Heading B5A. [Also in Division F4] In a method of making a refrigerator cabinet having a plurality of compartments, blocks of glass fibre insulation are placed at selected points between the compartments before the remainder of the insulation is foamed in situ, portions of the glass-fibre blocks being removable so that passages may subsequently be formed between adjacent compartments. As shown, the outer casing 1 of the refrigerator, compartment forming liners 2 and 4 and sheets 41 and 42 are supported in spaced relationship in a mould 19, 20, 21, 22 and a glass-fibre block 33 having a removable portion 36 is interposed between liner 4 and sheet 41. A similar block (not shown), is interposed between liners 2 and 4. A foamable plastics material is then introduced into the remaining spaces between the liners, sheets and outer casing and is allowed to foam under pressure. The cabinet is then removed from the mould, the removable portions of the glassfibre blocks are removed and ducts are inserted in the resulting passages.

Abstract: 1,133,338. Perforating film; perforating thermoplastic sheets; laminates. BRITISH VISQUEEN Ltd. 1 Aug., 1966 [24 Aug., 1965], No. 36259/65. Headings B4B, B5A and B5N. A method of perforating two adjacent layers of plastics film by piercing the superimposed layers with at least one instrument, the tip of which passes through both layers of film, is characterized in that the instrument is caused to penetrate the film layers in an angular direction such that the angle between the path of the tip of the instrument and the interface between the two film layers does not exceed 80 degrees, and in that the film is held stationary while the instrument is inserted and withdrawn. Preferably, the angle is not less than 20 degrees. The film may be of polyolefines especially polythene and polypropylene, or of polyvinyl chloride. Apparatus for carrying out the method comprises a bar 2 provided with razor teeth across its whole width, the ends of the bar being connected with links 5, one of which is connected to an air cylinder 4, operation of which causes the-bar to move angularly parallel to itself so that the tips of the teeth penetrate the film 3 at an angle of 60 degrees to the film interface, movement of the bar being arrested by a stop 6. The teeth in the middle of the bar may be arranged to provide larger slits than those at the edges. In a modification, a perforator needle (7, Fig. 2) is operated by an air cylinder (9) so that the needle is driven through a flattened plastics sack (8) at an angle of 35 degrees to the interface between the walls of the sack.
