  • Patent number: 4427192
    Abstract: Automatic terminal machines for banking transactions utilize a document dispenser for delivering bank notes to a customer. The document dispenser moves the bank notes from a storage bin by means of a picker mechanism that moves along a path profile established by the configuration of a pair of cam tracks and associated cam followers. The picker mechanism includes vacuum cups for lifting the first document from a stack in the storage bin for delivery into a document transport. Connected to the vacuum cups is a vacuum/pressure supply that includes a multiple chamber cylinder that provides both vacuum and pressure synchronized with operation of the picker mechanism. The piston is pivotally mounted to enable swivel action when driving the interconnected pistons in respective chambers. When provided, the document dispenser includes a cassette having a loading door and an unloading door, each separately equipped with a locking device.

  • Patent number: 4293992
    Abstract: The invention comprises a tool for removing fuel injectors from diesel engines without damaging any adjacent component parts or user's hands. The invention comprises an elongated member having a U-shaped injector engaging member at one end. The elongated member has a locating pin which is adapted to fit inside one of several bolt holes along side a fuel injector in a diesel engine. The locating pin serves as a pivot for the mechanic to manually lever the injector loose from the diesel engine.

  • Patent number: 4280476
    Abstract: A stove of the wood burning type is provided with a smoke passage having a main opening adjacent the access door of the stove and an auxiliary opening therein which is located further away from the access door and more closely adjacent the rear portion of the smoke passage and the chimney than the main opening. A regulator damper controls the rate of flow of products of combustion from the combustion chamber through the main opening and the smoke passage to the chimney, and an auxiliary damper normally closes the auxiliary opening when the access door is in a normally closed position.

  • Patent number: 4172340
    Abstract: Apparatus based on right-angle socket adapted to hold therein either square or round shank of workpiece for grinding faces of latter in diverse arcuate and/or planar patterns. Setting requires use of only two adjustments, each effected with great and easily reproducible accuracy: (a) by slide track for radial displacement of socket from axis of rock shaft (precisely measured by use of gage blocks), (b) angular rotation of socket on corner or edge axis-- angular variation in either direction therefrom defines eccentricity of arc thus ground from reference arc centered on rock shaft. Thus settings for the two dissimilar edges or tail of a trepan bit are each set simply by turning the socket different degrees on its corner edge axis. Alternately, socket can be located for concentric rotation of workpiece by continuous driving shaft instead of rocking.
