US Patent:

44369581, Mar 13, 1984

Filed:

Jun 30, 1982

Appl. No.:

6/393992

Inventors:

Robert C. Hansen - Orland Park IL
Paul G. Novorolsky - Carol Stream IL

Assignee:

Western Electric Company, Inc. - New York NY

International Classification:

H04M 1100

US Classification:

179 2A

Abstract:

A number of remotely located locked devices (26 and 27) are selectively operated by sending signals from a central supervisory location (28) through the telephone network (27) to a telephone set 32 and a converter (44) installed at each remote location. Initiating call signals from a remote telephone set are automatically generated and routed through the telephone network to a supervisory telephone set equipped with a standard 0-9 digit dial plus a special pushbutton (34) for generating a special signal. Receipt of the special signal at a calling remote station disconnects the remote telephone set and conditions a stepping circuit (74-86) and a sequence circuit (81-82) for subsequent operation upon receipt (88-104) of a predetermined sequence of 0-9 digit signals. Upon receipt of the predetermined sequence of signals within a first set time period, the stepping circuits and the sequence circuits are operated to generate (111) a signal that releases the locked device for a second set time period.

International Classification:

B41F 128

US Classification:

101483

Abstract:

A gripping surface adapted to be mounted on the outer circumferential surfaces of a pair of cutting cylinders 12, 14 in a printing press is provided. The gripping surface includes a plurality of mounting strips 26. Each mounting strip 26 has an upper surface and a lower surface and a layer of VELCRO. TM. brand gripping material 38 mounted on the upper surface. The layer of gripping material 38 is mounted on the upper surface of each mounting strip 26 using a self adhesive. At least one keeper tab 36 is disposed on the lower surface of each mounting strip 26. The keeper tab 36 is mounted in a "t" slot formed on the outer circumferential surface of the cylinder on which the mounting strip is mounted. The mounting strips 26 are flat and formed of a thermoplastic material using an injection molding process.

Assignee:

Rockwell International Corporation - El Segundo CA

International Classification:

B65H 2332

US Classification:

226197

Abstract:

An adjustable angle bar assembly (10) for a printing press (12) having a support (14), a hollow angle bar (18) pivotally mounted adjacent a longitudinal central portion (34) of the angle bar (18) to the support (14), with the angle bar (18) having a cavity (20) for the passage of air, and a plurality of openings 30 extending through the angle bar (18) and communicating with the cavity (20) for passage of air through the angle bar (18) from the cavity (20) to a web (32) passing over the angle bar (18), and a device for passing the air into the central portion (34) of the angle bar (18) for distribution of the air by the angle bar (18) against the web (32) irrespective of the orientation of the angle bar with respect to said support (14).

Filed:

Mar 28, 1996

Appl. No.:

8/623557

Inventors:

Robert C. Kiamco - Wood Dale IL
Robert E. Hansen - Clarendon Hills IL
Frank A. Balow - Western Springs IL

Assignee:

Goss Graphic Systems, Inc. - Westmont IL

International Classification:

B65H 4516
B65H 3506

US Classification:

493357

Abstract:

The present invention provides an apparatus for producing at least two 4-page signatures (340) and an apparatus for producing at least one 16-page signature (460). The signatures are produced by folding and cutting sheets cut from a continuous web in a folding machine (500 or 600). The apparatus of the present invention provides a selectable blade device which folds or folds and cuts sheets being processed in the device. When placed in the fold and cut position, the apparatus is capable of producing at least two 4-page signatures (340) or at least one 16-page signature (460) without the need for a final off-line trimming step.
