A keeper and a latch secures a first member such as a door panel against a second member such as a corresponding frame. The keeper is adapted for attachment to the second member and engages the latch in a fastened position.

Latch

A linear compression latch includes a lever linked to a pawl. As the latch is opened the pawl is initially constrained to move vertically along with a carriage. After an intermediate position is achieved, the pawl is constrained to move horizontally within the carriage.

This invention relates to hinges in general. More particularly, the invention is concerned with hinges wherein it is desired to have no parts of the hinge visible on the outside of a door or enclosure, where, typically in prior art hinges, a hinge pin is located about which the door rotates about the enclosure frame. The hinge of the present invention is visible from only one side of a door and has a first crescent member having a mounting means for mounting to the door and an arcuate cutout, the arcuate cutout describing a radius about a point that is an actual hinge point of the door relative to the frame, a second crescent member having a mounting means for mounting to a frame, and a pair of protruding cylindrical members adapted to be received within the arcuate cut out, the cylindrical members adapted to secure the first crescent member to the second crescent member. The first crescent member is movable about the actual hinge point with respect to said second crescent member.

A latch secures a first member such as a door panel against a second member such as a corresponding frame. The latch comprises a housing for mounting in the first member, a pawl adapted for engaging a keeper in a latched position on the second member and latch actuating means for selectively moving the pawl into a position away from the keeper in order to allow the first member to be opened.

A multipoint, multiple function recorder which can record, display, and process up to 135 input/output data points, either analog or discrete, in various combinations. A strip chart recorder is provided for permanently recording input and output data points and, in conjunction with the chart recorder, a separate programmable dot matrix display is provided, such display being responsive to the same input/output data points and operable for displaying data in both alphanumeric and graphic form, the display being independently operable from said chart recorder, such that said input/output points are displayable at different times from the times when they are being printed on the chart recorder.

Programmable electronic display for a chart recorder

An improvement is provided for printer such as the dot matrix or thermal type, in which the printhead is stepped across the paper over a multicolor ribbon supplied from a pivotally mounted cartridge and transported through a plane between the line of traverse of the printhead and the surface of the paper. The ribbon is guided by guiding surfaces positioned on each side of the printhead, close to the printhead, and mounted to move with the printhead across the paper so that the guide surfaces will guide the path the ribbon takes to one which passes between the printhead and the paper with the guide being moveable in steps in a direction normal to the traverse of the printhead and parallel to the plane of the ribbon so as to position a selected color band of the ribbon under the printhead to select the color to be printed as the printhead traverses the paper. The ribbon cartridge is free to pivot in response to movement of the ribbon guide and/or the printhead so as to accommodate the different positions of the ribbon with respect to the printhead, as determined by the ribbon guide and the different positions of the printhead with respect to the paper.

A multipoint recorder with a slow effective chart speed is operated to provide good visibility for the most recent record. A number of consecutive values for each point are scanned and stored. These values are recorded by a high speed printing mechanism during a first period of the recording cycle after which the chart is advanced forward for the remaining period of the recording cycle to a point which makes that record easily visible. At the end of the recording cycle the chart is retracted to start the next printing period with the printing mechanism at a point which corresponds to that required make the record look like a continuous line and to provide the desired time scale along the chart. To accomplish this the cycle time is coordinated to the chart speed and the number of consecutive scans recorded during each recording cycle.
