Abstract: 808,483. Making electronic tubes and like devices. SYLVANIA ELECTRIC PRODUCTS Inc. Jan. 27, 1955 [Jan. 29, 1954], No. 31247/58. Divided out of 808,482. Class 39(2) [Also in Group XXX] In a multiple-station mount machine with a conveyer which advances a valve stem through a number of electrode assembly stations such as A, B, K, L, Fig. 1A, as described in detail in Specification 808,482, sprockets 14 and 16, Fig. 1B, arranged in a plane, carry a conveyer consisting of pivotally-connected links 12, 12a of a length comparable to the sprocket radius, to minimize link stretching and play at the pivots. The undriven sprocket 16 has a spring-biased bearing 17 and to avoid undue movement of this an odd number of links is employed so that a flat link is present at one end (Fig. 1A) while a pivot is present at the other (Fig. 1B). In operation six-toothed sprocket 14 is moved 180 degrees at a time through main drive 18 so .that each third stem-carrying link 12a is moved one station. A detent 26 engaging one of two diametrically opposite pins is withdrawn during indexing by linkwork 28 coupled to drive 18. At each station, link 12a is held against twisting rollers 12b, 12d, Figs. 2, 2A, engaging opposite sides of a vertical rail 12c, and against tipping by plate 12e receiving a rearward extension 12e<SP>1</SP> of the link.

Abstract: 822,626. Locking rotary elements. LANDIS & GYR A.G. Oct. 15, 1956 [Oct. 25, 1955], No. 31368/56. Class 80 (4). [Also in Group XXXVI] A return-arresting device for electricity meters has a spindle 5 driven at reduced speed by the main spindle 1. A star wheel 6 mounted on the spindle 5 over-runs a pawl 7 so arranged that for the normal direction of rotation little resistance is encountered. If the main spindle 1 and hence the driven spindle 5 should reverse, the star wheel 6 engages the pawl 7 and causes the lug 10 on the pawl to strike the pin 9, moving the lever 8 so that the catch 11 meets a similar catch 13 attached to the main spindle and stops it. The number of teeth on the star wheel 6 has the same value as the reduction ratio and the catch 13 can be angularly adjusted relative to the spindle 1 so as to reduce the time of operation.

Abstract: 983,537. Counting printed copies. BROOKHIRST IGRANIC Ltd. Aug. 9, 1963 [Aug. 27, 1962], No. 31523/63. Heading B6C. [Also in Division G4] An arrangement for summating the pulses from a plurality of sources comprises a gate in respect of each source, said gate being enabled for the duration of a pulse, and all of said gates being scanned sequentially, so as to feed out a pulse in respect of each enabling pulse to a summating device, the frequency of the scanning of each gate being greater than the possible recurrence frequency of the pulses from the related source. Sources such as counting switches tripped by edges of overlapped streams of newspapers coming from presses, supply pulses to decade counters 11 which pass every tenth pulse, causing a relay 15 to enable a gate 16 for at least one scan cycle. A scanning unit, comprising a pulse generator 18 and delays SV1-SV6, enables the gates 16 in turn, any gate which has been opened sending an output pulse through a selector switch 26 to a desired one of three electronic cascade counters 45 of known type. The pulses are sent also to an associated electromechanical counter 38. Each gate 16 also has an associated electromechanical counter 14. Details of the gating and scanning units are given. In use, as the desired number of newspapers is approached and then reached, warnings in the form of lights, horns or buzzers are operated at values set in switches 50, 51. Specification 818,452 is referred to.

Patent GB-1004427-A (GB)
Title: A process for the production of nitriles
IPC: C07C255/49
Filed: 1963-08-09
Abstract: Nitriles are produced by the dehydration of an amide by a 5 to 20 mol. per cent excess of a dehydrating agent containing phosphorus in solution in an inert solvent at a temperature of 50 DEG  to 150 DEG C. and in the presence of up to 10 mol. per cent of organic nitrogenous bases, calculated on the amount of amide. Preferably there is also present up to 10 mol. per cent of the amide of a metal halide that is a Lewis acid and more preferably the molar concentration of the base exceeds that of the Lewis acid whilst the combined base and Lewis acid concentrations do not exceed 10 mol. per cent of the amide.  It is also preferred to add, at least before separation of the nitrile formed and preferably on starting the reaction, a stoichiometric excess based upon the metaphosphoric acid formed during the reaction of an alkali metal or alkaline earth metal halide.  The nitrogenous bases can be primary, secondary or tertiary, aliphatic, aromatic or heterocyclic free bases, their acyl derivatives or their hydrogen halide salts and the inert solvents may be hydrocarbons or chlorinated derivatives thereof. Specified dehydrating agents are phophorus pentachloride, pentoxide and oxychloride and preferred metal halide Lewis acids are aluminium trichloride and titanium tetrachloride. Examples relate to the preparation of malodinitrile, monochloroacetonitrile and benzonitrile.

A connector assembly comprises a plurality of contact receiving bores 4 in a mounting block 1, a ring in two halves 12a, 12b which in one position projects into the bores and retains the contacts therein by engaging shoulders 8 on them, and unlocking tabs 16 which move the ring from the bores, thus releasing the contacts. Angular surfaces 18 on tabs 16 abut chamfers 17 at the corner of each half-ring end, and cam the ring out of the bore when the tabs are pushed in. The contacts are pressed home against the force exerted by tapered portions 7 moving the halfrings against the resilience of a retaining spring 14. The contact is held at the front by a reduced-diameter section 10 of the bore. In a modification the contacts are retained by rotation of a ring which moves between positions in which parts of the ring enter or are removed from the bores behind projections on the contacts.

IPC: C04B7/00
Filed: 1933-11-15
Abstract: A modification of the process for making cement described in the parent Specification consists in mixing limestone and argillaceous or siliceous materials, burning the mixture in a kiln at a temperature sufficient to calcine the limestone but insufficient to cause clinkering of the mixture, adding water to hydrate the lime and mixing and grinding in the presence of a limited amount of water while maintaing a temperature (e.g. from about 100 to 400 DEG  C.) sufficient to produce mutual reactions between the lime and the siliceous components and continuing the mixing and grinding until a dry hydraulic cement is produced.  The non-calcareous material may be silica sands or siliceous earths and clays, e.g. quartz sand, river sand of vulcanic origin, diatonaceous earth or tripoli, or any argillaceous material generally considered suitable for Portland cement manufacture. Portland cement may be added to the product.
