Title: Improvements in piston rings
IPC: F16J9/10
Filed: 1935-06-21
Abstract: 456,015. Piston-rings. TRIGGS, W. W., 57, Lincoln's Inn Fields, London.-(Bartlett Hayward Co. ; Baltimore, U.S.A.) June 21, 1935, No. 17838. [Class 122 (i)] A piston-ring comprises two split or segmental annuli 3, 4, one being formed from hard material, e.g. iron and the other of softer material, e.g. bronze, and means for limiting the expansion due to wear of one relatively to the other. The limiting means may comprise a split band 10 anchored at one end to the rings and housed in annular recesses 7 therein. Alternatively, the band may be integral with one ring and project into a recess at the inner periphery or midway between the inner and outer peripheries, Fig. 14, of the other ring. In another form the soft ring may be housed in a bevelled or stepped undercut recess in the hard ring. The bearing portions may be flanged and provided with grooves 14, Fig. 9, connected to the underside of the ring or to the channel 18 carrying the band 10 to equalize the pressures acting on the ring. Channel 18 may be connected to the pressure side of the ring by passages 17<a>, the pressure being relieved, when the ring becomes worn, through passages 17 which then open to the opposite side of the ring but are normally blanked off by the side of the ring groove. The flanged portions of the rings are bevelled on the underside. Expanding springs 12 may be provided.

Title: Apparatus for fabricating moulded bodies of chocolate or similar materials
Inventor: ROMAGNOLI ANDREA
IPC: A23G1/20
Filed: 1966-04-25
Abstract: 1,148,725. Moulding chocolate. A. ROMAGNOLI. 25 April, 1966 [24 April, 1965], No. 17929/66. Heading B5A. [Also in Division B8] Each half of a body moulded from chocolate or similar material is moulded separately by spreading a layer of the material in a female mould lined with a sheet of wrapping material. In the form illustrated wrapping foil is first fed from a supply (4) (Fig. 1, not shown) under a mould 11 (Fig. 4) into which the foil is then moulded by a male die 8 assisted by suction applied to the interior of the mould. The female die is swung by its supporting shaft 109 to position it over a chocolate vat 13 (Fig. 6). Provided a foil has been positioned to close the suction holes in the mould, a male die 14 rises from the chocolate to engage within the mould where it is rotated about its shaft 15 to layer the chocolate. The stroke of the male die may be varied to vary the thickness of the chocolate. Alternatively chocolate may be pumped to the interior of the shaft 15 to be extruded from apertures 114 in the male die 14. Scrapers (28), (54), (Fig. 1, not shown) remove surplus chocolate from the exterior of the two dies. Where solid half-bodies are to be formed, the male die 14 leaves by translation instead of by rotation. The mould 11 is then rotated further about its shaft 109 to position it over a carrier 22 (Fig. 8) on to which the moulded half-body and wrapper is ejected by a member 12. The carrier 22, to which the moulded half-body is secured by catches 32, 33 is then inverted and delivers the half-body to a vertically moving carrier 34. A second halfbody, subsequently delivered by the mould 11, is delivered to the carrier 34 without inversion, so that the two half-bodies seal together. A carrier 135 then transfers the resulting wrapped body to a guillotine which perforates the laterally extending flange portions of the wrapper, and simultaneously crimps the two wrappers together.

Abstract: 584,147. Gyroscopic apparatus. BRADDICK, H. J. J., and PHILPOT, J. ST. L. Sept. 21, 1944, No. 17998. [Class 97 (iii)] In a gyro-vertical, the spin axis is caused to precess continuously close to its predetermined orientation by the displacement parallel to each axis of tilt of a moving mass mounted on the gyro casing and movable in at least one direction by electromagnetic means. In the form shown, the moving masses 10, 22 are solenoid cores normally retracted by springs 11, the solenoids 9, 21 being controlled by mercury switches 18, 13 respectively which are mounted at right angles to the direction of movement of the cores. In a modification, the cores may also be retracted electromagnetically. In the normal position the mass of the core 10 produces a positive torque about the axis XY, closing the switch 18 and moving the core iiito a position in which it produces a negative torque which opens the switch and recommences the cycle. The core 22 operates similarly in regard to the axis AB.

Abstract: 1,007,268. Melt-spinning apparatus. MONSANTO CO. May 4, 1964 [May 13, 1963], No. 18440/64. Heading B5B. A liquid handling apparatus, for use in the spinning of polymer melts, comprises a chamber suitable for holding a body of liquid having an upper surface defining a liquid level, a rotatable shaft extending vertically through said surface, a vertical sleeve surrounding said shaft above said liquid level, and pump means on said shaft above said liquid level for opposing upward flow of said liquid along said shaft. In one embodiment, illustrated by Figs. 2 and 3, which are cross-sections in perpendicular directions of a melt jacket assembly, a chamber 22 contains a plurality of heated grids or fins 24. A distributer pump 32, connected by passage 34 to metering pumps, is mounted in the bottom of melt pool 30 and is driven by shaft 38, which is surrounded by sleeve 36. The pump means on the shaft comprises a screw thread 44. The screw is left-handed when the shaft is rotated anticlockwise so that polymer melt between the shaft and the sleeve tends to be pumped downwardly. The screw thread is preferably rectangular or square in cross-section. In order to prevent flake particles of polymer entering sleeve 36 from the top, a heavy annular collar 48, having a conical upper surface 50, is slidably mounted on shaft 38 and bears on a washer 52 which is press-fitted between shaft and sleeve, thus forming a rotatable seal between shaft and sleeve. The washer may be made of low-friction plastics material which is stable at the temperatures used, e.g. polytetrafluorethylene. A stirrer 42 may be fitted to the shaft 38.

Abstract: 1315881 Electro-erosion MITSUBISHI DENKI KK 2 June 1971 [2 June 1970] 18658/71 Heading B3V [Also in Division H3] The duration of an electrical discharge in an electroerosion gap between a workpiece 2 and electrode 1 is dependent on the no load voltage duration of the pulse supplied to the gap. During the occurrence of a no load voltage across the gap 1-2, a transistor 24 is closed and the potential at point 28 falls towards a negative maximum value determined by the voltages of sources 29, 30. The initiation of a discharge in the erosion gap is ascertained by detecting a flow of current through a resistance 17 by a circuit 18 which opens the transistor 24 causing the potential at point 28 to rise towards a positive potential. When a positive potential is reached, a transistor 36 is closed to operate a stable multivibrator 37 causing transistors 3A-3N to be opened and the discharge across the erosion gap to cease. When the multivibrator 37 reverts, the next voltage pulse is applied to the gap. The duration of the discharge is dependent on the time taken for point 28 to reach a positive potential which is dependent in the value of the negative potential at 28 at the initiation of the discharge, which is in turn dependent in the no load voltage duration. If the no load voltage duration exceeds a predetermined limit, the potential at 28 remains at the maximum negative value and the subsequent discharge duration is a maximum.
