47067969, Nov 17, 1987

Filed:

Aug 5, 1985

Appl. No.:

6/762634

Inventors:

Robert W. Chambers - Willingboro NJ

Assignee:

RCA Corporation - Princeton NJ

International Classification:

B65G 4700

US Classification:

198345

Abstract:

A pallet is releasably attached to a car which is stopped automatically at a work station in a coarse alignment with a robotic system at the work station. A movable plate, which tends to be distorted from a given shape, is releasably secured to the car and lifted from the car at the work station, aligned in the desired fine alignment during the lifting and then clamped in place relative to a reference plane in the fine alignment relative to the robotic system to remove the distortion. The plate is later dropped by gravity onto the car in a given alignment therewith for transfer to the next work station which repeats the fine alignment and distortion removal action.

US Classification:

36447411

Abstract:

A lubricant nozzle positioning system and method for use with a machine tool having an automated tool changing assembly and a plurality of cutting tools secured therein, for selectively positioning a desired cutting tool to contact a workpiece to be tooled. The lubricating system includes a lubricating assembly having at least one movable nozzle for providing a desired lubricant, and a nozzle positioning subsystem for cooperation with a selected program of the automated tool changing assembly for positioning the nozzle of the lubricating assembly proximate an interface of each cutting tool and a respective portion of a workpiece to be tooled upon sequential movement of the cutting tools into position by the automated tool changing assembly according to the selected program so as to provide the lubricant as desired.

Filed:

Jul 16, 1990

Appl. No.:

7/552552

Inventors:

Robert W. Chambers - Mount Laurel NJ

Assignee:

E. I. du Pont de Nemours and Company - Wilmington DE

International Classification:

B65H 308

US Classification:

271106

Abstract:

The present invention relates to a method and apparatus for moving sheets from substrates without substantially moving the substrate and, specifically, where the sheets are sheets of X-ray film and the substrates are screens found in conventional X-ray cassettes or other sheets in a closely packed stack of sheets. The method and apparatus use at least one suction cup for curling and, thereby, lifting a portion of a sheet near an edge thereof allowing air to partially enter underneath the sheet. The suction cup has a sheet contacting face with a recess extending into the face where the recess is defined by an inner conical surface, a first planar surface and a second planar surface.

International Classification:

A01G 2308

US Classification:

144309AC

Abstract:

A tree processing machine for felling and processing standing trees into predetermined lengths which includes generally a prime mover capable of turning in a short radius with a relatively short support frame as compared to the prior art mounted on the prime mover, a carriage frame pivotally mounted on the support frame about a roll axis generally vertically aligned with and parallel to the longitudinal centerline of the prime mover, a main support bed pivotally mounted at its upper end to the forward end of the carriage frame for pivoting from a vertical position in which the lower end thereof is near the ground to a horizontal position above the prime mover, a set of traversing drive assemblies mounted on the support bed for holding a tree against the bed and for moving the tree longitudinally with respect to the bed, a cutting assembly mounted on that end of the bed opposite its pivoted end and movable with the bed as well as with respect to the bed for selectively felling trees and cutting them into selected lengths, an adjustable delimbing mechanism carried by the bed and carriage frame for selectively delimbing the tree as it is driven by the traversing assembly, topping means carried by the carriage frame for shearing the top from the tree, an automatic control means for controlling the operation of the bed, cutting assembly, traversing drive assemblies, delimbing assembly, and topping means.

Filed:

Jul 21, 1980

Appl. No.:

6/170814

Inventors:

Robert W. Chambers - Willingboro NJ
Frank Cuomo - Princeton NJ

Assignee:

RCA Corporation - New York NY

International Classification:

B23B 700
B23B 100
B23C 100

US Classification:

29 27C

Abstract:

The flash is removed from a freshly molded recorded disc by first bringing a knife against the edge of the disc and rotating the disc about its center to remove the major portion of the flash. A rotary cutter is then brought into contact with the edge of the rotating disc to remove the remaining portion of the flash. The rotary cutter provides the disc with a smooth edge and allows an accurate control of the diameter of the disc. The cutter is mounted on a pivotal bracket which is selectively moved toward and away from the disc by means of an air cylinder and piston which is connected to the bracket.

Assignee:

RCA Corporation - New York NY

International Classification:

B29D 1700

US Classification:

425290

Abstract:

A molding apparatus for molding a recorded disc includes a pair of mold plates adapted to form a mold cavity therein and a center hole forming pin slidably mounted in one of the mold plates. The center hole forming pin is larger in diameter than the hole to be formed and has a projection on its end which is of a diameter equal to the hole to be formed and a length about one-half the length of the hole to be formed. The other mold plate includes a projection extending therefrom of a diameter equal to the diameter of the hole to be formed and a length one-half the length of the hole. In the molding of the disc the projection on the center hole forming pin engages the projection on the other mold plate to form a hole in which a flash is spaced from the edges of the hole.

International Classification:

B23Q 106

US Classification:

269310

Abstract:

A television receiver is located on a pallet assembly via molded-in-place locating elements in the receiver base. Two elements have corresponding openings which mate with respective resilient structures on the pallet assembly to locate the receiver in two orthogonal horizontal directions about a vertical axis. A set of the elements on the receiver base abut a set of corresponding elements on the pallet assembly for positioning a plurality of spaced points on the receiver cabinet in the vertical direction in a reference horizontal plane.
