The clock mechanism includes hands arbors which pass through an opening in the support plate. The support plate is angularly adjustable about the axis of the hands arbors so that the longitudinal extent of the solar cells can be made to coincide with the decoratively adapted orientation of light passage areas in the dial face located directly in front of it.

Abstract: A fuze for a spinning projectile has a firing pin which is held against movement by a safety device until the projectile has traveled a preset distance. The safety device comprises a coil spring strip which overlies the firing pin in its initially coiled-up state, and releases the firing pin when in a centrifugally-induced expanded state. The spring coil is arranged to be highly elastic so as to be returnable to its initially coiled-up, evenly wound state, even after the projectile has been subjected to jarring during transport, etc. The coil strip has a tensile strength of 1200 to 2800 N/mm.sup.2 and a thickness greater than 20 .mu.m.

Abstract: A fuse for a spinning projectile comprises a rotor having safety elements which prevent rotation of the rotor to an active position. The safety elements are arranged such that when the safety elements are properly installed, the center of gravity of the rotor induces rotation of the rotor in a first direction toward the active position. An escapement mechanism regulates the rate of rotation of the rotor in such first direction. A stop prevents rotation of the rotor in the opposite direction. When a safety element is missing, the center of gravity is positioned to induce rotation of the rotor in such opposite direction in which the rotor cannot rotate.

Abstract: In gilling or stretching apparatus wherein a plurality of pin bars are driven and guided in a circuitous path including a stretching run and a return run, with threaded spindles engaging the pin bars along said runs, means are provided to retard the speed of movement of the pin bars before they engage the drive spindles so as to decrease noise in the operating apparatus and reduce wear of the pin bars and spindles. Such retarding means comprises cushioning wheels disposed at the entry end of the stretching run and cushioning rollers disposed at the exit end of the stretching run. The cushioning wheels and rollers have cushioning surfaces arranged to be engaged by the moving pin bars at an acute angle to the tangent to the surface at the point of engagement. Means are provided to insure that the cushioning wheels and rollers rotate at a slower speed than the speed of the travelling pin bars.

Abstract: A fuse includes a detonator-carrying rotor which can be turned from an armed position to a safety position. A first safety mechanism is provided for preventing return of the rotor to the armed position until the projectile has been fired. An additional safety mechanism is provided which prevents the first safety mechanism from releasing the rotor until the additional safety mechanism is deactuated. The additional safety mechanism includes independently operable elements, one of which shifts from a safety position and the other of which shifts into a safety position, in response to acceleration in one direction.

Abstract: In an apparatus for consolidating textile fibrous webs by rubbing in a condenser, the fibres are first conveyed through a first condenser in a first direction, further conveyed through a second condenser in a direction parallel to the first direction but opposite to it and finally they are conveyed through a third condenser in the first direction and in a plane parallel to it.

Abstract: The apparatus for producing raised markings on a cable's plastic jacket disclosed provides for at least one drum shaped marking member, which may be driven by the cable itself or, if there are a pair of such drums, at least one is driven by means of a stepper motor which is controlled synchronously with the cable take-off speed. The drums are vertically adjustable and mounted on swivel arms carried on a carriage. Pneumatic means are employed to force the drum or drums against the moving cable with a predetermined pressure. Depressions corresponding to the desired markings are formed in the circumferential surface of the drum. As the drum or drums rotate a powder filled container or filling head is pressed against them so that powder is picked up in the depressions and carried by the drums into contact with the cable. When the powder filled depression area of the drum contacts the cable, which is still hot, the powder will fuse with the material of the cable's jacket and form a raised marking.

Abstract: The apparatus consists of a drum whose circumferential surface coming in contact with the cable surface is provided with grooves corresponding to the marks to be formed. With each turn of the drum, the grooves are filled with colored plastic powder which, when coming in contact with the hot cable jacket, is sintered into the mark and fuses with the cable jacket.

Abstract: A device for setting mechanical time fuse in which the fuse has an element which, when rotated, adjusts the time period of the fuse. The fuse is contained within a housing at the forward end of a projectile and within the housing forwardly of the fuse is a stepping motor connected to the rotatable element of the fuse by reduction gearing. A setting device in the form of a pulse emitter and adjustable logic circuitry is disposed outside the firing tube in which the projectile is mounted and is electrically connected with the stepping motor by wires which include separable connectors. The setting device advantageously provides for ignition of the projectile propelling charge when the setting of the time period for the fuse has been completed. Also, advantageously, a clamping device is provided for clamping the stepping motor in its adjusted position prior to or immediately upon ignition of the propelling charge.
