A reproduction machine having a document scanning system has an improved recycling clutch for operating the system. The clutch has a rotatable input plate and a rotatable output plate. An annular pawl plate pivotally mounted on the input plate has a driving surface which is biased into engagement with a pin on the output plate. A rotatable timing element driven by the input plate periodically contacts a cam surface on the outer periphery of the pawl plate to disengage the driving surface from the pin to effect release of the clutch at intervals greater than a revolution of the input plate. The cam surface maintains the disengagement of the driving surface from the output plate for a sufficient length of time to permit rotation of the latter in the reverse direction greater than one revolution via a biasing spring. |

LIMBERGER W |
An improved device for controlling one or several processes or process steps as a function of a trigger pulse, comprising a continuously revolving shaft with a disk-shaped drive element, wherein the pulse causes a control disk to be coupled for a certain arc of the rotation, and wherein the said control disk is mounted on a shaft parallel to the drive shaft, wherein the improved device is adapted to provide with small forces and travels non-positive and non-slip connections with a drive mechanism for transmitting large forces. This device has a mechanical construction, operates reliably and is of simple design. Certain control functions are achieved either by dimensioning the angle of rotation or by a positive engagement.

FLAGG RAYMOND P |
A manifold gas valve including a partition wall having main gas and pilot gas passageways therein, a slidable control valve having a gas flow passageway therethrough and biased against said wall, and pushbuttons arranged and operably connected to the control valve so as to respectively move the control valve to one of its ''''pilot,'''' ''''on'''' and ''''off'''' positions and simultaneously move the other pushbuttons to their retracted positions. The manifold valve also includes a biased closed safety valve, condition responsive means for holding the safety valve open, and a separable coupling between the condition responsive means and the safety valve. The safety valve is arranged to be actuated by the pushbutton for moving the control valve to its ''''pilot'''' position while the separable coupling between the safety valve and the condition responsive means is arranged to be actuated upon movement of the control valve to its ''''off'''' position.

JULLIEN-DAVIN JEAN |
A programmer for automatic washing machines or the like, including a constant-speed reversing programming cam, an operating cam driven in stepwise manner by the programming cam, and means to selectively block the stepwise advancing of the operating cam for a predetermined length of time, whereby the operation of the machine may include a comparatively long rest period intermediate successive operating sequences within a cycle, as for a lengthy soaking stage. Following expiration of the predetermined time, the blocking means is released and the operating cam resumes its stepwise advancement for the remainder of the operating cycle.

A reconfigurable motion generator and control system for multi-phase motion generation. Reconfigurable motion generators are a new class of mechanical devices that are designed for a specific part family and their associated motion generation tasks. The reconfigurable motion generator may utilize revolute joints for link length and pivot adjustment to achieve different configurations from the same set of links. Due to the nature of adjustment of the mechanism this methodology may be used for different types of motion generation tasks such as (a) common start position, (b) common end position, (c) common intermediate position, and (d) distinct motion generation tasks with no common positions. This technique can be applied towards the synthesis of reconfigurable motion generators for use in many planar or spherical applications involving multi-phase function, path, and motion generation tasks. |
