Abstract
Data recording apparatus wherein the data is recorded on a sheet in a spatial arrangement or pattern corresponding to the spatial arrangement of a plurality of containers that constitute a part of a fraction collecting apparatus. The fraction collector operates by moving a nozzle carrying the discharge from a fractionating column along a path on which the containers are disposed. There is a data recording sheet and a pen supported for inscribing a graph on such sheet. The pen moves in unison with the nozzle and is displaced in a direction transverse to the path so that the spatial arrangement of the graph corresponds to the spatial arrangement of the containers.
Claims5
In a fraction collector of the type having a plurality of fraction receiving containers, means for supporting said containers along a prescribed path in a prescribed spatial arrangement, a nozzle for delivering a fractionated substance to said containers, and means for moving said nozzle relative said containers along said path, improved data recording apparatus comprising a carrier for supporting a data receiving sheet, an arm movable relative to said sheet supporting means in unison with said nozzle moving means so as to afford relative movement between said arm and said sheet supporting means that corresponds with the relative movement between said nozzle supporting means and said container supporting means, and means mounted on said arm for inscribing data on a sheet on said carrier, the inscribing means inscribing data that is indicative of a characteristic of the substance delivered by said nozzle so as to inscribe on a sheet carried by said carrier a graph bearing data spatially arranged in correspondence with the spatial arrangement of said containers on said path.
