Apparatus for guiding a power saw has a guide bar provided with side and end edges. Saw-guiding members near each side edge of the guide bar are parallel to the longitudinal axis of the bar and extend between opposite ends of the bar. There is a longitudinal slot at one end of the bar midway between the saw-guiding members and a cross bar at the opposite end. A clamp may be used to releasably attach the cross bar end of the guide bar to the workpiece while the opposite end is secured by a pivot ...

A device for withdrawing and gathering a fiber web discharged by a web delivering assembly includes a guide element arranged downstream of the web delivering assembly as viewed in the direction of web advance and a trumpet arranged downstream of the guide element. The guide element has an outlet opening through which the web leaves the guide element. The trumpet is positioned immediately at the outlet opening as the continuation thereof, so that the web can pass directly from the guide element i...

An aircraft landing-guiding apparatus having an antenna system constituted by a plurality of antenna elements arranged in a line and intersecting the course of a runway substantially at right angles at the lengthwise center of the runway. Phases of sideband signals and carrier signals are shifted at rates having such relationship that sideband patterns and carrier patterns are sent forth from the antenna system at prescribed horizontal angles to the course of the runway.

A device for gathering a running fiber web delivered by a pair of cooperating rolls (forming part of a web delivering assembly arranged downstream of a carding machine) includes at least one operationally substantially stationary guide element having a hollow guiding face. The guide element is supported downstream of and immediately adjacent to the rolls of the web delivering assembly. The hollow guiding face extends transversely to the direction of advance of the web as the latter leaves the ro...

A transfer sheet guiding device for guiding a transfer sheet along a predetermined path. The device includes a separating member for separating one lateral side of a transfer sheet from an image carrying member, a rotary body, located adjacent the one lateral side for gripping the separated side of the transfer sheet and guiding it away from the image carrying member, a guide member having a stepped portion which extends across the transport path of the transfer sheet, the position of stepped po...

A device for guiding a strip so that it is kept in a predetermined lateral position as the strip moves from a supply to a take up reel. The device includes mechanical sensors sensing the lateral edges of the strip, the sensors being coupled by a differential linkage system to a frame in which is mounted a pair of rollers, one each side of the strip and in contact therewith. The frame is pivoted about an axis perpendicular to the strip so that if the strip shifts laterally the sensors move the di...

Disclosed is a hitch guide assembly comprising a target post vertically positioned above a socket member of a towed vehicle and sighting means vertically positioned above a ball member of a towing vehicle. The sighting means comprises a V-shaped mounting bracket which magnetically couples to the towing vehicle and has an extension arm pivotally attached to the mounting bracket. The sighting means further includes a guide pointer which may be selectively positioned along the extension arm so that...

A material guiding device for feeding material to a stitch-forming area of a sewing machine which has a rail guide over which the material is placed for guiding movement from a charging point to the stitch-forming area, comprises a braking weight which has a bottom recess of a size to receive the rail guide with the material thereon so as to permit engagement of the weight over the material so as to move with the material during the feeding operation and to provide a braking action thereon. The ...

A paper guide extends around the platen of a printing machine and has a flexible extension which bears against the front of the moving printing mechanism included in the printing machine. The close proximity of the paper guide to the printing mechanism of the printing machine serves to guide the paper as closely as possible into the small gap between the printing head and the platen and also to guide the paper as accurately as possible out through the paper-exit opening of the cabinet of the pri...
