Patent GB-1541535-A (GB)
Title: Shearing devices
IPC: B26D5/04
Filed: 1977-07-20
Abstract: In conventional profile shears with a fixed or movable cutter bar arranged on a frame, the frame has to absorb high shearing forces and ensure accurate guidance of a member carrying the cutter bar, which leads to heavy and expensive constructions. The invention achieves the object of creating relatively light-weight, compact and easy-to-maintain profile shears of high cutting capacity by arranging a slide (2) carrying the displaceable cutter bar (3) and by arranging the fixed cutter bar (5) in a housing (1), the slide and housing having entry and exit openings (10, 11, 13, 14) for the profiled material (9) which are in alignment with the shearing opening (8) of the cutter bars. Such a housing (1) common to both cutter bars can reliably absorb the shearing and pressure forces of the cutter bars with a simple and compact type of construction. Especially advantageous is a loose arrangement of the cutter bars in recesses of the slide or of the housing, in which case upwardly pointing openings of these recesses permit easy exchange of the cutter bars. <IMAGE>

Title: Impedance testing circuits

Abstract: 1,055,498. Cable fault testing. WESTERN ELECTRIC CO. Inc. Aug. 4, 1964 [July 30, 1963], No. 30861/64. Heading G1U. [Also in Division G4] In an impedance 54 testing circuit for testing for, e. g., a cable fault one of a plurality of first ranges RB1, RB2, RB3 is selected by control circuit 50 to test the minimum value and a second range RB4 is selected to test the maximum value, a first transistor Q1 being energized if the minimum is exceeded and a second transistor Q2 being energized if the maximum is exceeded, which later energizes the first transistor Q1 to operate an alarm circuit with relays R, R1. The unknown impedance 54, the resistors 10, 11 etc. associated with the relays RB1-RB4 and the resistors VD1, VD2 and VD3 form the arms of a bridge with potential source SCO across one diagonal and detector Q1 or Q2 across the other. Operation of one of the relays RB1-RB4 closes contacts to operate relay RD and hence RD1 after a time delay through a thermistor TRD1 such that non- operation of transistor Q1 permits an output on line OK to the control circuit 50. Transistor Q1 is reverse biased from source SCO but if the impedance 54 is below the minimum value a base collector current flows to permit an emitter collector current to operate relay R and hence relay R1 to give an alarm output on line NG. If the impedance 54 is above the maximum, powered biased transistor Q2 is allowed to conduct which in turn permits Q1 to conduct and operate the alarm circuit as before.

The mechanism of the parent Specification is modified so that the one-way driving connection between the rotatable cam 9 and the member 4 is releasable or disengageable, so that the cam can continue to rotate in the same direction without further rotation of member 4. Thus it is not necessary to have a reversible electric motor as in the parent Specification. As shown, the cam 9 has a leaf spring 20 secured to it, and curved in such a way that when the cam rotates in the direction F the spring engages against a lug 6 on member 4 and turns that also. After the film is wound on and the shutter tensioned, member 4 is locked against further movement. Spring 20 flattens slightly, so as to clear lug 6, and cam 9 continues to rotate, until a projection 23 operates a microswitch to shut off the motor. When a photograph is required, the motor is switched on, and continued rotation of member 4 then operates the shutter release button 3.
