Boxes made from special blanks; lids and covers; tampering with, preventing &c. - The lid of a box is made by fold ing a cardboard blank such as is shown in Fig. 2, the top 15 and the sides being of single thickness while the ends are of double thickness by reason of the parts 162, 172, &c., which become folded on to the outside of the parts 18, 19. The parts at one end are stapled together; those at the other end are secured together by a string 20 passing round buttons 21. Extensions 163, 191, &c. of the sides and ends are turned inwards to form abutments. The body of the box is made from a similar blank, but both of its ends are stapled up; moreover, the parts corresponding to 163, 191, &c. are turned outwards to form flaps. The box is closed by pressing the lid down upon the body, the abutments passing over the flaps and then preventing the lid and body from being separated. To open the box, the string 20 is freed, and the body portion is drawn out from the lid. Fig. 12 represents a cross-section of the closed box, with abutments 163, 173 coacting with flaps 113, 123. According to the Provisional Specification, the construction may be such that the box must be destroyed in order to open it; also one side of the box-lid may be divided into two parts adapted to be secured together by a sealed string &c.

IPC: G09G1/14
Filed: 1963-01-14
Abstract: 1,013,405. Electric selective signalling. STANDARD TELEPHONES & CABLES Ltd. Jan. 14, 1963, No. 1591/63. Heading G4H. Signals representing characters to be displayed are sent to a multi-character display device at successive time positions in a cycle each time position corresponding to a particular character position, there being more characters which can be displayed in one (special) character position than in the other character positions, a a plurality of said time positions being allocated to the special character position, which time position the character is transmitted at depending on the nature of the character. In the particular embodiment of Fig. 1, the character positions are C.R.T. screens or parts of C.R.T. screens, and each character is built up as a 7 x 5 matrix of bright and dark dots. A rectifier network, having 35 inputs pulsed cyclically in turn, is used to produce a pulse train of 35 pulse positions for each of ten possible numerals (0-9) and twenty possible letters (A-U, excluding I) each pulse train being sent to a corresponding gate G1-G30, the pulse trains for 0-9, A-K, L-U being sent to gates G1-G10, G11-G20, G21-G30, respectively, i.e. to rows 1, 2, 3 of gates, respectively. Five enabling pulses F1-F5 are sent sequentially to the rows of gates, enabling rows 1, 2, 3, 1, 1, respectively, resulting in the passage of 0-9 pulse trains simultaneously along ten lines 2 to each of five selector switches S1-S5, followed by A-K pulse trains, L-U trains, 0-9 trains and 0-9 trains, in turn along the same lines. The selector switches S1-S5 may be electronic or of the manually-operated mechanical type and each selects one of each set of ten pulse trains presented to it. However, of the five pulse trains thus selected by each switch, only one is passed through a corresponding gate G31-G35 to the grid of a C.R.T., the gates G31-G35 being enabled by the pulses F1-F5, respectively. Four character positions are used, for displaying three numerals and a letter. The numerals are selected by switches S1, S4, S5 and the letter is selected by one of the switches S2, S3 depending on which part of the alphabet the letter is in (S2 for A-K, S3 for L-U), the other switch S3 or S2 being set to give no output on reception of inputs. Fig. 2 (not shown) shows a modification in which a single selector switch is used in place of switches S2, S3, the output of this switch being connected to one of two gates (enabled by pulses F2 and F3, respectively) by means of a relay controlled by the selector switch. A further modification consists in using all 26 letters of the alphabet, three of six enabling pulses being used to produce the " letter " pulse train, as against two (viz. F2, F3) of five (F1-F5) above. This would give four spare lines which could be used for special signs, e.g. dash or stroke. The display system may be used in a train describer. Specification 830,804 is referred to.

Filed: 1953-01-20
Abstract: 725,290. Transformer arrangements. GENERAL ELECTRIC CO. Jan. 20, 1953 [Feb. 6, 1952], No. 1654/53. Classes 38 (2) and 38 (4). A three-phase transformer has three sets of delta connected windings 11, 12, 13; 15, 16, 17; 19, 20, 21 connected between the three line terminals 10, 14, 18 and the neutral point 22. Thus the neutral point is stabilized without the use of the normal additional idle delta winding. Such a winding arrangement forms a composite star and delta system conductively associated with each other, and includes in each phase an element common to the star and delta portions of the system. The reactances of the various windings are chosen such that each element carries the desired portion of current associated with any terminal to give the chosen stabilizing capacity. In other embodiments the three delta connected sets of windings may be connected to the neutral point through a normal star connected winding or to the line terminals through such a winding. The arrangement may form the high or low voltage side of the transformer.

Title: Improvements in combined carrier-signal frequency detectors and control-voltage supply systems
IPC: H03D3/08
Filed: 1942-02-07
Abstract: 551,970. Frequency modulation; automatic volume control. HAZELTINE CORPORATION. Feb. 7, 1942, No. 1658. Convention date, Nov. 13, 1940. [Class 40 (v)] The frequency discriminator of a radio receiver is modified to provide control voltages suitable for automatic gain control, the control of a tuning indicator, or like purpose. In Fig. 1 a frequency-modulation receiver comprises a normal frequency discriminator 18 including tuned circuits 19, 20 resonant above and below the intermediate frequency, rectifiers 25, 26 and series load resistances 27, 28. The demodulated signal is taken to an audio amplifier 16 across the two resistances jointly. To provide a gain control voltage a further rectifier 30. is connected across the tuned circuit 19 with its load resistance 31 in shunt ; and the negative voltage produced jointly across resistances 28, 31 is applied through a time-constant circuit 33, 34 to the early stages in the receiver to control their gain. This voltage is substantially independent of the tuning of the receiver within the limits of the discriminator, Fig. 2 (not shown). In Fig. 3 two further diodes 35, 30 are fed from the tuned circuits 19, 20 and are provided with a common series load 38 and a common shunt load 31. The positive voltage across resistance 38 controls a tuning indicator 48, and the negative voltage across resistance 31 controls the gain. Owing to interaction between the diodes provided by the resistance 37 connecting their anodes, both the control voltages have pronounced minimum values when the set is in tune, Fig. 4 (not shown). In a modification of Fig. 3, the resistances 37 and 38 are omitted and the two diodes 35, 30 have separate shunt loads which are connected in series to provide the gain control voltage, Fig. 5 (not shown).
