  • Patent number: 7048110
    Abstract: The conveyor system is disclosed as appended to a web-fed printing press, for transporting the completed signatures from a delivery fan to a stacking station. Included is a first conveyor having a pair of endless chains each having a series of first grippers in transverse alignment with their counterparts on the other endless chain. Each transversely aligned pair of first grippers conjointly grips, in a loading position immediately downstream of the delivery fan, a signature at two spaced points on one edge thereof and releases the same in a transfer position intermediate the delivery and stacking station. A second conveyor has but one endless chain with a series of second grippers mounted thereto. Each second gripper grips, in the transfer position, the signature at a point on the edge thereof intermediate the two spaced points where the signature has been gripped by one pair of first grippers on the first conveyor, and releases the signature at the stacking station.

  • Patent number: 7032441
    Abstract: A tire-state obtaining apparatus operable to detect the states of tires of wheels and including (a) wheel-side devices each including a transmitter device (42), and (b) a body-side device including a receiver device operable to receive tire information from the wheel-side devices, wherein the positions of the wheels from which sets of the tire information have been transmitted are determined on the basis of the condition in which the receiver device receives the tire information. The receiver device includes a plurality of antennas oriented to receive the tire information from the respective wheel-side devices, and the wheel corresponding to the antenna having the highest intensity of reception of the tire information can be determined as the wheel from which the tire information has been transmitted, so that the antennas need not be located near the respective wheels, to identify the wheels.
