  • Patent number: 5450154
    Abstract: Transfer storage buffer apparatus for interconnecting processing machines for the development and printing of continuous-strip photographic material includes a plurality of rollers arranged on a fixed upper carriage and a movable lower carriage, respectively, at such positions that the material is alternately conveyed over the upper and lower rollers. The lower carriage is driven in both its upward and downward movement by an actuatable and adjustable elevating mechanism in the form of a pulley arrangement. The pulley arrangement includes a bracket sliding vertically on a fixed vertical support and locked to a flexible continuous-transmission element, and a lower pulley and an upper pulley over which the continuous-transmission element extends. A motor supplies power to the elevating mechanism to control the force under which the lower carriage is moved, to thereby regulate the tension on the photographic material.

  • Patent number: 5192907
    Abstract: A device in cludes two mechanisms mounted beside the two longitudinal sides of an adapter supporting the customary feelers of a test apparatus. Each mechanism is adustable transversely on the adapter, and includes a number of pulleys having coplanar parallel axes and engaging a respective edge of the printed circuit plate of an electronic module for testing. The mechanisms are activated by a common actuator against the action of springs so as to bring the plate into contact with the feelers. The pulleys of each mechanism are rotated simultaneously by a belt activated by a toothed drive roller so sized as to mesh with the respective mechanism regardless of the position of the same.

  • Patent number: 4358915
    Abstract: The invention relates to a self-assembling telescopable structure comprising a plurality of members which can be slipped and unslipped into and from each other. For the assemblage and disassembling of the structure releasable fastening members are provided for the several component parts and reversible lifting means acting between the internal component part and its next intermediary component part.By outstretching such means it is possible to effect the unslipping of the internal component part from its next. By subsequently fastening the internal component to the external one or to an intermediate component and binding mutually the other intermediate components, it becomes possible, by contraction of said lifting means to have the mutually bound intermediate components into the unslipped internal component part. By repeating these steps, the structure is assembled, whereas, by reverting the step sequence the disassembling of the structure is obtained.
