Title: Improvements in or relating to electrically heated vulcanisers
IPC: B29C35/00
Filed: 1946-10-25
Abstract: 629,289. Electrically-heated vulcanizers. SMITH, W. E. LANGRISH-, (formerly SMITH, W. E.), and FROST, W. Oct. 25, 1946, No. 31796. [Class 39(iii)] ] An electricallyheated, thermostatically-controlled vulcanizer is provided with two indicators, e.g. lamps 29 and 31, the first to show whether o r not current is flowing through the heater .20, the other to show whether the thermal switch 27, 28, is open or not. The circuit operates as follows. With the switch 27, 28 closed, also the main switch 18, current flows through the heater 20 and a low resistance 30 in series with it, thus shunting the lamp 29 which accordingly lights up. When the switch 27, 28 opens, the current passes through a high resistance 32 in series with the lamp 31 which is in parallel with the thermal switch 27, 28, the lamp 29 being extinguished and the lamp 31 lighting up. In a modification two thermal switches in parallel, operating at two different temperatures, replace switch 27, 28.

Abstract: 909,746. Washing-machines. BUSCHJAEGER DURENER METALLWERKE A.G. Sept. 18, 1959 [Sept. 20, 1958], No. 31928/59. Drawings to Specification. Class 138 (2). [Also in Groups XXIII and XXXV] In a washing-machine in which a thermostat controls the heating circuit, and a clockwork or motor-driven time switch, the thermostat consists of a snap-switch controlled by a temperature-responsive expansion member and is adjustable manually so that it may be used either as a cut-off switch or as an on-off switch for regulating the heating circuit. Additionally the switch may be changed from regulating operation to cut-off operation automatically when the time switch stops at the end of the washing period, or when the temperature rises excessively; e.g. when the heating circuit is energized in the absence of water in the washing- machine. Embodiments of the thermostat are described in detail (see Group XXXV). Specification 909,745 is referred to.

Nov. 20, 1933, No. 32307. [Classes 70 and 87 (ii).] A highly aerated liquid mixture comprising a refractory material and a combustible organic material is moulded and deliquidized while preserving its aerated condition and is then burnt to eliminate the organic particles. Suitable mixtures are (1) 40 parts of kaolin, 20 parts of grog, and 40 parts of wood flour ; (2) 60 parts of infusorial earth and 40 parts of wood flour. The burning is effected firstly in a reducing atmosphere up to about 1150‹ C. and finally in an oxidizing atmosphere up to 1650-1690‹ C. The blocks may be partly shielded in the kiln so that one portion acquires a dense vitrified structure while another portion retains its high porosity. Centrifugal moulding-machines for simultaneously moulding and deliquidizing the mixture comprise a rotary table 18 (Fig. 1) carrying moulds B. Each mould has a centrifugally operated follower 64 (Fig. 7) for compressing the contents, the centrifugal action being opposed by a spring 73-which withdraws the follower when the table ceases to rotate. The moulds are emptied by the operation of a piston 111 situated beneath the table 18. This raises the bottom 51 of the mould box to the level of the top of the side frame 49, and the foraminous sides 63 of the mould which are hinged at 62 to the bottom fall outwards when this position is reached to facilitate the removal of the block. Means are provided for locking the table in positions in which the moulds register with the mould-opening means.

[Class 132 (ii)] In a game each player is provided with a device by means of which a ball or counter may be deposited on to any part of a moving surface which by its movement projects the counter into one of a series of compartments. As shown, the surface comprises a saucer-shaped disc 1 rotating with and normally balanced on the spindle 3 of a turntable 2 so that when carrying a counter the disc tilts into contact with the turntable. Each player controls a spring biassed spade 9 through a rod 10 and handle 11, the rod 10 being capable of rotary, longitudinal sliding, and rocking movement in a vertical plane. The player inserts a counter into a shoot 12 after positioning the spade so that the counter falls thereon, and then manipulates the handle 11 to deposit the counter onto the disc 1 so that it is projected therefrom into a scoring compartment 5. Alternatively, the spade may be used only to divert the counter from the shoot onto the disc 1. The compartments 5 are formed by partitions 4, and adjustable bottoms 5<1>, the scoring compartments leading counters to external hoppers 7. Modifications. The disc 1 may be covered with cork or like material so that a counter deposited onto the centre thereof will remain until disturbed by other counters. It may be eccentrically mounted, its surface may be undulating or stepped, or the surface may be in two or more parts rotating at different speeds or in opposite directions. The speed of the surface may be varied during a game and the surface may be brought to rest automatically after a predetermined time.
