  • Patent number: 4848477
    Abstract: The invention suggests for an electronic balance with a balance scale (1), with a parallel guide for the balance scale (1), with at least one sensor which measures the torques transferred from the balance scale (1) to the parallel guide, with storage means in the electronic circuitry of the balance in which means the magnitude of the corner-load inaccuracies of the parallel guide is stored in the form of corner-load correction factors and with switching means or program parts in the electronic circuitry of the balance which correct the weight value outputted from the measuring system on the basis of the output signals of the sensor or sensors and of the stored corner-load correction factors that controllable signals (10-13) are provided which designate the corners and sides of the balance scale (1). The signals can be formed by light sources adjacent to the balance scale (1) or in the corners or on the sides of the display field (9).

  • Patent number: 4846035
    Abstract: Improved cutting device for an apparatus for the simultaneous dispensing and cutting of bands of wound material. This device is distinguished in that it comprises two independent blades located side by side at an angle, each of which corresponds to two half-lengths of the drum, whereby each of the blades is fixed to blade carriers oriented angularly in the drum and is associated with a follower roller which cooperates respectively with a fixed cam of the same profile located on each lateral wing of the housing of the apparatus, whereby said cams are offset angularly in order to permit the progressive and successive exiting of each blade and to define two cutting zones of the band of material in the apparatus while obtaining only a single clean cutting line of said material perpendicular to its lateral edges.

  • Patent number: 4834449
    Abstract: A collapsible table capable of being supported either in an obvious location such as being mounted on a wall or in a somewhat hidden location such as in the arm of a furniture structure such as a chair, couch, etc. A base is fixed to the supporting wall or furniture piece structure and a carriage member is slidably movable thereon. A table top is pivotal relative to the carriage but movable therewith relative to the base so that the table top may selectively be disposed in an operative, substantially horizontal orientation or in an inoperative, stored location. A top support structure is also carried by the carriage and is selectively positionable beneath and in supporting relation to an under surface of the table top.
