Title: Fishing reels
Inventor: TIEFENBRUN MARCUS S
IPC: A01K89/015
Filed: 1984-02-16
Abstract: The fishing reel has a spool (10) freely rotatable on a spindle (11). The spool is located between two discs (14, 15), one of which (15) is keyed for limited movement along the spindle. A clutch assembly is provided to press the keyed disc (15) against the spool and the spool against the other disc (14) so that the discs grip the spool between them. The gripping force is variable. When the spindle is rotated the discs will rotate with it and so will the gripped spool to wind in the line. When the line pays out the discs, if in gripping contact with the spool act as a brake. The clutch assembly consists of a lever (30), provided at one side of the fishing reel to actuate a cam (28) which, via a cam follower (291 moves a bearing sleeve (26) against the disc (15). The spindle (11) is driven at one of two speeds determined by the clockwise or anti-clockwise rotation of handle 43. <IMAGE>

Title: Cleaning printing blankets
Inventor: WRIGHT NORMAN D
IPC: B41F35/06
Filed: 1986-01-14
Abstract: A blanket cleaner for removing dust, lint or ink from a blanket cylinder in an offset printing press during the uninterrupted course of a press run, preferably comprises a first fluid cylinder 15 which periodically urges a brush 4 against the blanket cylinder 1 and retracts the brush from the blanket cylinder. Retraction of the brush permits the dust and lint swept before the brush to fall onto a door 53 of a lint catcher 3. The door is raised and lowered by action of a second fluid cylinder 81. Operation of the second fluid cylinder lags the operation of the first fluid cylinder by an interval of time sufficient to permit the dust, lint or ink to fall onto the door. In the preferred embodiment, the structure includes a device for removal of debris from the lint catcher. Alternatively, if the brush assembly is positioned under the arch of the printing machine frame the lint catcher may be omitted. <IMAGE>
