Patent GB-2037096-A (GB)
Title: Connector block
IPC: H01R4/24
Filed: 1979-09-28
Abstract: An electrical connector block for interconnecting two pluralities of wires fanned along the two opposite edges thereof has an elongate layered structure of three elements, viz a flat insulating centre element (10) for supporting two staggered rows of flat, slotted electrical connectors (20), one on each surface thereof, and an insulating cover element (11) secured to each side of the centre element (10) for positively retaining the connectors in place. The center element has transversal slots (17) in both of the opposite edges aligned with slots in the connectors (20) for guiding and retaining wires to be inserted into the slots of the connectors (20) for establishing electrical contact therewith. A tool for inserting the wire into the connector block and severing the wire after insertion includes a tool head which is retracted against spring bias during insertion of the wire by the tool head. When the tool head is returned to its normal position by the spring, a cutting blade is pivoted by a cam to sever the wire. <IMAGE>

Title: Photographic Exposing Apparatus Including a Front Projection System
IPC: G03B15/08
Filed: 1979-10-23
Abstract: A front projection apparatus has a tubular adaptor (22) which can be connected to a camera lens system housing (25) at one end and received at the other in an aperture (19), in a wall (20) of the apparatus, in a position such that the lens system views an image projected by the apparatus along the projection axis (12).

Title: Dishwashing machine
IPC: A47L15/42
Filed: 1979-12-06
Abstract: A dishwashing machine comprises a rotatable set of spray pipes (4) which encircle a basket (2), the pipes having jet apertures (9). A pump (7) is arranged to pump washing liquid to the spray pipes via strainer (8) and supply tube (6). A tubular shaft (5) connects the pipes (4) to the supply tube (6), the shaft being rotatably mounted around the supply tube to define therewith an annular space (11) which extends from above the level (H) of the washing liquid to below it. A hole (12) in the tubular shaft connects the annular space with the sump of the dishwasher. The arrangement permits any solid particles entrained in the washing liquid supply to the spray pipes to settle out in space 11 and drain via hole 12 into the sump, thereby avoiding blockage of the spray pipes. <IMAGE>

Title: Coupling of light guides and electro-optical devices
IPC: G02B6/42
Filed: 1980-04-10
Abstract: An efficient and inexpensive method and assembly for optically coupling light conductors, such as polymeric or glass optical fibers, to electro-optical devices (EOD's) is critically needed in the field of fiber optics. The method and assembly of the present invention employ a single component actinic light, photocurable or photopolymerizable composition which cures in one minute or less. The coupled assembly (especially when it comprises an optical fiber and a light emitting diode) is optically stable, the coupling not being susceptable to degradation by thermal cycling. FIG. 2 is a schematic depiction of an operable assembly suitable for practicing the present invention. The present invention provides methods for optically coupling light conductors such as polymeric or glass optical fibers and various electro- optical devices such as light emitting diodes, laser diodes, and photodiodes. The maintaining of precise alignment between the conductor and the EOD for a relatively long (5 to 15 minute) curing period is no longer required. <IMAGE>

Patent GB-2056401-A (GB)
Title: Packaging processes and machinery for wrapping articles with stretch film
IPC: A01F15/07
Filed: 1980-08-15
Abstract: In a process of wrapping a body (10) in stretch film (12) relative rotation between the body and the film is effected on two axes (20, 22) angularly disposed to each other. The body being wrapped may be rotated about both axes or it may be given a single degree of rotation about one axis whilst the stretch film is caused to orbit. A machine for carrying out the process comprises a turntable (15) located in a conveyor path and carrying a pair of parallel spaced rollers (13) for rotating a cylindrical body to be wrapped about axis (22) whilst being rotated about axis (20) by the turntable. The conveyor path may have a downward incline with one device to allow bodies to be fed singly to the turntable and with another device to lift the wrapped bodies from the turntable and initiate their movement towards the lower end of the conveyor path. <IMAGE>
Patent GB-2062017-A (GB)
Title: Yarn changing in circular knitting machines
IPC: D04B15/58
Filed: 1980-09-02
Abstract: The present invention relates to one cylinder circular knitting machines for manufacturing hosiery and similar goods, in which the disadvantage encountered hitherto with yarn guides and needles, i.e. the possibility of mutual impact thereof, e.g. upon yarn breakage, is removed by the arrangement according to the present invention, of which the subject matter consists substantially in that the guides are arranged radially movably relative to the needle cylinder as well as being swingable between their operative and inoperative positions. Thus the guides are moved radially, e.g. by lever 7, towards the needles for changing the yarn, e.g. by rods 15, and are then withdrawn again radially. <IMAGE>
Patent GB-2064614-A (GB)
Title: Transfer ribbons
IPC: B41J31/00
Filed: 1980-09-10
Abstract: A contact transfer comprises a base (18) on which a printing medium (17) including a fluorescent pigment is applied. The medium is transferable from the base to a substrate by contact pressure. The printing medium is either attached to the base as a layer which is covered with a layer of barrier material (19), or as a layer which incorporates a barrier material. The barrier material intercepts light and hence prevents the light from reaching the substrate onto which the printing medium has been transferred. This reduces or eliminates differences in the intensity of fluorescent light seen coming from the substrate and which would otherwise be due to backgrounds of different colours. <IMAGE>

IPC: H02K3/48
Filed: 1981-03-11
Abstract: An electrical rotating machine has a winding comprising a plurality of conductors 1 extending through a slot in a magnetic core 5. The interstices between conductors 1 in the slot and/or between the conductors and the wall of the slot are packed with lengths 7 of insulating material extending through the slot and protruding from each end thereof where they are bound by lengths 9 to form a bundle with the conductors.
