Abstract: A holder for a cutting tool for processing of workpieces has a first part for holding a cutting tool (150), a second part (120) to which the first part is fastened, and a fastening element (140). An adjustment element adjusts the position of the first part in relation to the second part. The first and second parts have a first bore and a second bore for receiving the fastening element and a recess (118, 128) for receiving the adjustment element. The first part has an abutment surface (115) placed onto a contact surface (122) of the second part, such that the central axes (A-A) for the first and second bores become parallel. The abutment surface of the first part and the contact surface of the second part are inclined in relation to the feeding axis (G-G) of the work piece towards the cutting tool (150).

Abstract: A patterned photovoltaic device includes at least one photovoltaic cell, at least one carrier substrate attached to the cell, and at least one opening extending through the cell and the carrier substrate.

Abstract: A module for selectively deploying a reciprocable tool, such as a hole punch, which is reciprocated by a press. The module includes a housing which is attached to the ram of the press. The housing retains a reciprocable tool within a bore for movement between an extended position and a retracted position. The reciprocable tool is connected to the housing by means of a telescopic linkage comprising a cone clutch having resilient fingers that selectively grip a pin. The housing includes a conical surface which engages beveled portions of the resilient fingers holding them in a closed position. A spring biases the cone clutch to its closed or gripping position unless air pressure is supplied to an air chamber which counteracts the biasing force of the spring to open the resilient fingers. When the resilient fingers are open, a shifting means comprising a spring, or alternatively a solenoid, is effective to shift the pin between an extended position and a retracted position within the cone clutch.

Abstract: A coding assembly specifically designed to encode in a non-obtrusive manner, contained packages disposed on the interior of a shipping or storage carton through the utilization of strategically placed pairs of penetrating pins of sufficient length and sharpness to pass through the outer shipping carton and into the plurality of packages contained therein. Relative positions of the pins of a plurality of pin pairs will define the position of the puncture aperture in the respective packages and in turn define one of a plurality of predetermined codes. A clear material template is disposed in overlying relation to the puncture apertures for purposes of decoding.

Abstract: A punching device for punching coded key cards and the like comprising a plurality of punches, each of which is selectively movable in respective guide. Balls of ferromagnetic material are positionable in a first punching position and a second passive position. Solenoids with movable cores are arranged to selectively move the balls between the first and second positions.

Abstract: A card which a customer receives at the time of driving the vehicle into a parking lot and which bears encoded information denoting the date and time of entry is processed when the customer desires to remove the vehicle. At such time, the card is inserted into a housing to be automatically advanced in a first direction past a reader which decodes the information and supplies signals to a computer which actuates a perforating device serving to apply legible information to at least one portion of the card. The card is thereupon moved in the opposite direction into the range of a severing device which separates the one portion from the remaining portion of the card. The one portion is removed by the customer to serve as a customer receipt, and the remaining portion is transported away from the severing device and into a safe to serve as an operator's receipt. The legible information normally includes the cost of parking.

Abstract: In a high density solenoid operated multiple punch apparatus, having a punch head provided with the plurality of closely-spaced large bores arranged in column and rows that extend partially through the punch head from the top side, solenoid elements mounted in the large bores, a plurality of holes with a diameter smaller than the large bores aligned with the large bores and extending the remaining distance through the punch head to the bottom side, push rod elements slidably disposed in the holes actuated by the solenoid elements, the improvement beingA cooling system for the punch head which includes a plurality of small bores arranged in rows in the bottom of the punch head terminating short of the top surface and positioned in the area between the plurality of large bores, a plurality of elongated grooves in the bottom surface of the head located between rows of the plurality of holes and forming a recessed chamber connecting a row of the small bores, a plate seated in each of the elongated grooves with ea

Abstract: A combination paper tape punch and reader having a bi-directional stepping tape transport controlled by a continuously oscillating magnetically activated pawl. A further improvement is a punch interposer geometry allowing for easy removal of the punch and die. A single motor and timing signal is used for both punch and reader tape transports.

Abstract: A tape punch machine in which a change in feed hole orientation is easily accomplished.

Abstract: The present invention discloses a method and apparatus for applying patterning signals to electric patterning devices. Firstly, first electric signals are obtained from an object on which the original pattern is based and is displayed on a display means. Second electric signals are also displayed on said display means for defining an area of said selected pattern. The first and second signals are monitored so that said first signals can be corrected, if necessary. Third electrical signals are obtained corresponding to a portion of the first signal to be selected, and the patterning device and tools are controlled by said third electrical signals.
