Title: Improvements in or relating to cathode ray tubes
IPC: H01J29/74
Filed: 1934-09-05
Abstract: 443,788. Cathode-ray tubes. WILSON, J. C., and BAIRD TELEVISION, Ltd., 58, Victoria Street, Westminster. Sept. 5, 1934, No. 25552. [Class 39 (i)] A cathode-ray tube in which the angular deflection of the ray is proportional to the deflecting field and which is used with a generator of deflecting oscillations of non-linear wave-form so that the angular deflection of the ray is not proportional to time, has the surface on which the ray impinges so curved and positioned that the displacement of the point of impingement at right angles to the undeflected ray is proportional to time. A tube used with an oscillator in which a condenser is charged through a resistance has the end wall to which the fluorescent material is applied curved away from the electrodes as shown at 4. The curvature may be in one sense only if the ray is deflected in one direction only, or in two senses for television scanning. The Provisional Specification describes also tubes in which a plane screen is inclined to the axis of the tube and normal to the ray at one end of a scan so that the angle of incidence of the ray on the screen changes as the ray is deflected and the displacement is made nearly proportional to time.

Title: Apparatus for separating an overlapping stream of newspapers or the like into counted batches
IPC: B65H33/12
Filed: 1964-06-19
Abstract: 1,035,266. Delivering sheets. FERAG, FEHR & REIST A.G. June 19, 1964 [June 26, 1963], No. 25574/64. Heading B6H. An overlapping stream of newspapers is separated into batches by a blade 23 under the control of a counter 10, movement for the blade to intercept the stream being delayed until the last newspaper in a batch has moved from the counter to position A, Fig. 2 (not shown). Shafts 27-29 are driven from a constantly rotating gear 16 through slip clutches. The shafts carry fixed arms and are normally held against rotation by latches 14 and 39 and by a pivoted stop 32. On reaching a pre-set number, the counter 10 emits a pulse to operate solenoid 11 and withdraw latch 14. The shaft 29 is freed and rotates clockwise so that arm 31 pivots stop 32. This releases shaft 28 which moves the blade to intercept the stream. Arm 34 abuts arm 35 to accelerate movement of the blade. Movement of the blade is arrested with the blade intercepting the stream by engagement of the arm 36 with a pivoted stop 37. After a predetermined interval which determines the spacing between adjacent batches, the arm 38 rocks latch 39 to free the shaft 27. The shaft 27 rotates counterclockwise whereby the arm 40 moves stop 37 to free the shaft 28. Continued rotation of the shaft 28 moves the blade clear of the stream. Each conveyer 6, 7 comprises two spaced endless bands between which the blade passes. The blade has two heads spaced 180 degrees apart and is rotated through 180 degrees during each cycle of operation. Likewise, the shaft 28 carries two sets of arms 33, 35, 36 and 33<SP>1</SP>, 35<SP>1</SP>, 361, one set for each blade head. The angular spacing between arms 15 and 31 governs the time delay in moving the blade to intercept the stream.

Title: Improved method and machine for loading objects onto a pallet
IPC: B65G57/00
Filed: 1961-07-19
Abstract: 969,527. Loading pallets. N. R. HALLENIUS. July 19, 1961 [July 25, 1960], No. 26189/61. Heading B8C. A machine for the automatic loading of pallets with boxes &c. includes a framework 1, Fig. 2, with a power-driven roller-way 2 to which the boxes are supplied in succession by a conveyer 36. When a desired number of boxes, e.g. three, have been fed to the roller-way the foremost box 39 operates a valve to bring a stop 37 into play to halt the supply. An abutment 15 is then struck by that box and a switch operated to stop a motor which drives a boxreceiving platform 16 vertically. Air cylinders 12, Figs. 1 and 2, are also energized to force discs 13 against the boxes which are held between the discs and support rollers 14. A carriage 4 supporting the roller-way 2 is then moved laterally from under the boxes by a pneumatic cylinder 7, whereupon pneumatic cylinders 9 are energized, and a carriage 8 on which the cylinders 12 and discs 13 are mounted is driven downwardly together with the line of boxes. As the boxes approach the platform the latter is driven downwardly one step; when the boxes are placed thereon the energizing of the cylinders 12 and 9 is reversed, the boxes released and the carriages 8 and 4 returned; the stop 37 is released and further boxes supplied to the roller-way. When a desired number of boxes has been stacked on the platform the latter is lowered to its bottom position during which time a pallet 34 has been supplied to a conveyer 31 from a pallet magazine 34 by supports 27 driven vertically by pneumatic cylinders 29. The pallet is carried by the conveyer 31 and a roller-way 33 to a position below the platform and when the latter reaches its lowest position pneumatic cylinders 24 are energized, whereby a cross-piece 23 pushes the stack of boxes over the pallet and simultaneously the pallet is advanced over the rollerway 33 by drive members 26 on rods 25 attached to the cross-piece. After delivery of the stack the cross-piece is returned and the platform raised to its uppermost position to receive a further stack.

Title: Improvements in or relating to indicating apparatus for radio navigation systems
Inventor: HOLDEN ALFRED THOMAS
IPC: G01S1/02
Filed: 1954-09-10
Abstract: 780,076. Digital-data-storage apparatus. DECCA RECORD CO., Ltd. Aug. 26, 1955 [Sept. 10, 1954], No. 26311/54. Class 106 (1). [Also in Groups XX and XL (c)] An electro-mechanical data store for delaying a train of electrical pulses in a radio navigation system (see Group XL (c)) comprises a uniformly-rotating disc 10 with resilient, resiliently-mounted or pivoted ferro-magnetic radial operating elements 12, Figs. 3-5 (not shown), capable of a limited angular movement transversely to the plane of the disc, the outer ends of the elements projecting into a groove 14, Fig. 2, formed by two flanges 15 on a fixed concentric annular member 13. The input pulses are applied to an electromagnet 17 adjacent a radial slot 16 in one of the flanges 15 so that each input pulse causes the magnet 17 to attract an operating element laterally through the slot 16 to the outside of the flange 15, thereby causing it to actuate contact members 20 spaced nearly a complete revolution from the slot 16 to generate in a relay unit 51, Fig. 7 (not shown), a delayed pulse after which the displaced element is returned into the groove 14 through the slot 16 or through an additional slot, Fig. 6 (not shown), located between the contact 20 and the slot 16, said return being assisted by the guide portions 27, 28, Fig. 2, of the flanges 15 or by a magnet, Fig. 6 (not shown). When the amplitude of the received radio signals falls below a predetermined value, a signal strength discriminator, Fig. 7 (not shown), operates switches to feed the output delayed pulses back to the input magnet 17 or actuates mechanical means preventing the return of the displaced operating elements 12 to the groove 14. A second pulse train may be delayed in a similar manner by means of a further electromagnet 18, Fig. 2; which displaces the operating elements through a radial slot 16 in the other flange 15. If the input pulses are not synchronized with the rotation of disc 10, they are applied to operate a relay which prepares a circuit which is triggered by a contact on the disc 10 to give synchronized pulses for application to the magnets 17, 18. In a modification (not illustrated), the operating elements may extend perpendicularly from the disc 10.
