Cutting slices in succession.-In a slicing machine wherein the reciprocating table is supported by rollers, means are provided for covering the rollers and also the surface or surfaces on which they run. As shown in Fig. 2, the carriage 4 is supported and guided by rollers 6 having V- sectioned peripheries engaging with a corresspondingly sectioned track 7. The rollers are journaled on shafts 12 and are covered by an arcuate member 8 running over the whole length of the track. Lifting is prevented by a plate 13 engaging a groove 14 in the track 7. In Fig. 3, the carriage 4 is supported on rollers 6 and the track 7 is integral with the cover 15, 15', 16. Lateral movement of the carriage is prevented by a guide surface 17 and an adjustable guide block 18 engaging the exterior of the sides 15, 15' of the cover. In Fig. 4, a guide block 24 attached to an arm projecting from the carriage 4 runs between the laterally adjustable rail 7 and the side 25 of the cover-member. In Fig. 5, the rollers 6 are journaled in U-shaped brackets depending from the carriage 4 and lateral play is prevented by the lower edges of the cover 8 engaging in recesses 23 in the brackets. In a modification, a frame on which the side-play rcllers are carried, is supported on a bracket depending from the table and carrying a roller 6. In another modification, the side-play rollers bear on the outside of the vertical flanges of the cover-member. In further modifications, the side-play rollers are arranged beneath the axles of the rollers, or the one side-play roller operates internally and the other side-play roller operates externally of the cover-member. In Fig. 10, the carriage 4 is supported at the side adjacent to the knife by rollers 37 on laterally adjustable spindles 41. The rollers engage the inturned parts 38 and the vertical sides 39 of the cover member which extends the whole length of the machine. In Fig. 12, the carriage is supported at the knife side by two rollers 37 and one roller 48 within a cover-member 49-53, the rollers 37 bearing on a ledge 7.

Filed: 1971-07-13
Abstract: 1352713 Digital data storage INTERNATIONAL COMPUTER PRODUCTS Inc 13 July 1971 [16 July 1970] 32829/71 Heading G4C An encoder 10 receiving serial binary data bits 18, clock pulses 20 synchronized with the data bits, and delimiter pulses 22 having a predetermined relationship with each data block, e.g. byte, produces different combinations of outputs 24a, 24b, two of which combinations represent a data bit (e.g. 10 = 1, 01=0), a third represents a delimiter pulse (e.g. 11) and the fourth (00) is interposed between every adjacent pair of the other combinations. The output of encoder 10 may be recorded in a magnetic tape cassette unit 14 as shown or be supplied to a communication channel. The isolation between data bits provided by the 00 combination avoids skew or phase errors in recording or transmission. Drop-in and drop-out errors may be detected by a circuit, Fig. 9 (not shown), which counts pulses produced by a decoding circuit for each data and delimiter pulse and tests the state of the counter on detection of each delimiter pulse to produce an error pulse if a predetermined count, e.g. 10, for an 8-bit byte plus parity bit and delimiter pulse, does not exist when the delimiter pulse is detected. The error pulse is also used to reset the counter so that it regains synchronism for the next data byte. It is stated that the period between clock pulses may be varied to increase recording density or to provide additional marking, redundancy for error checking or to combine analogue information with the digital data. Variable length data blocks may be recorded/transmitted, the counter in the error detection circuit being similarly variably set.
