Title: Improvements in containers
IPC: B65D25/00
Filed: 1944-01-29
Abstract: 574,304. Hollow-ware. GIBBS, C. W. Jan. 29, 1944, No. 1713. [Class 66] In a container of the kind consisting of a tubular or cylindrical body 1 of flexible material, such as waterproof fabric, canvas, or the like, or sheet metal, and a rigid bottom of metal or other material, the lower end of the body is thickened or beaded and received in a space formed between two substantially rigid cup-shaped members 4, 5 telescopically nested together and forming the base of the container. The members 4, 5 are formed from discs the edges of which are curved upwardly into cylindrical form, the diameter of the outer surface of the inner member being substantially equal to or slightly greater than the inside diameter of the container body, while the inside diameter of the outer member is substantially equal to or slightly less than the outer diameter of the container body. The radius of curvature of the inner member is greater than that of the outer member so as to provide an enlarged space for the reception of the doubled or beaded lower edge of the body. A method of determining the radii of curvature is described. The bottoms of the two members are in contact and may be spot-welded together; alternatively a vent-hole 15 to permit escape of entrapped air during assembly, may be closed by solder to prevent undesired separation. The outer surface of the body may be coated with a waterproof cement prior to assembly. The upper edge of the body is provided with a strengthening wire, and a handle is attached to the body or to loops on the wire.

Abstract: 423,326. Electric induction furnaces. ALLMANNA SVENSKA ELEKTRISKA AKTIEBOLAGET, VõsterÓs, Sweden. Jan. 19, 1934, Nos. 1963, 1964, and 1965. Convention dates, Dec. 4, 1933, Dec. 11, 1933, and Dec. 19, 1933. Drawings to Specification. [Class 39 (iii)] In a furnace fed with high frequency current for heating and low frequency current for stirring, the low frequency current is polyphase. Common or separate windings are used for the two purposes. At different stages of operation one of the two sources of current may be cut off. The stirring windings may surround the heating winding or may be arranged under the furnace bottom. The stirring windings are of pancake form with separate or common iron shells which may take part of the flux from the heating winding. An annular iron shell carrying an additional winding and bearing against the cones of the stirring windings may surround the furnace to assist or brake the revolving motion caused by the stirring windings. Various different supply circuits are described, in some cases the high and low frequency sources being connected in parallel and in other cases being connected in series.

Abstract: 1,205,546. Photo-electric exposure measuring devices. KOMBINAT PENTACON DRESDEN KAMERA-UND KINOWERKE VEB. Jan.17, 1969, No.2865/69. Heading G2A. A photo-electric exposure measuring device has a rotatable adjuster 6 which functions as a summation element resulting from adjustments of exposure factors, e.g. adjustments of diaphragm aperture values 1, exposure time values 2 and film speed values 3, the adjuster having a guide 15 for an indexing pin 14 of a switch lever 8 of a main switch 9 of the device so that the device is switched off when the adjuster travels beyond its measuring range.

Title: Apparatus for feeding service water containers in railway cars
IPC: G05D23/02
Filed: 1957-01-28
Abstract: 822,373. Water supply fittings for vehicles. SATZGER, E. Jan. 28, 1957 [Jan. 30, 1956], No. 2939/57. Class 103(2) [Also in Groups XIII and XXIX] In a railway car, a service water tank 5, Fig. 2, is fed with condensate (or with steam and condensate or even, if there is danger of freezing, with steam) raised by steam pressure from the outlet 3, Fig. 3, of a condensate reservoir 2, e.g. by way of a space-heating radiator in a lavatory compartment, to the inlet 10 of a valve controlled by a rod-and-expanding-tube thermal element 21, 17 through which the condensate passes to the tank 5 by way of openings 18 in an adjustable screw cap 19 bearing the rod 21. The condensate reservoir 2 is provided with an automatic drain valve 7 and with flanges 8 for connection to pipes to the car radiators which are supplied with steam from the main pipe 1. The expanding tube 17 bears a fin 27 and contains a conduit 28 through which the condensate passes and which has at least one shielded side-opening 32 to the space 29 between the conduit and expanding tube. Inflowing hot fluid affects the tube 17 only when the flow is throttled by the valve member 13 operated by the rod-and-tube 21, 17 through a lever 25 pivoted at 24. When the valve is wide open and the flow strong, the fluid does not collect in the space 29 and the tube 17 is influenced mainly by the surrounding tank-water which if cold causes the valve to remain wide open so that steam enters the tank 5, as well as, or instead of, condensate. The thermostatic valve is adjusted coarsely by the screw cap 19, .and adjusted finely by a screw 41 in the lever. The screw is accessible when a plug 42 is removed. The valve 13 may be moved from its seat by manipulation of a plunger 43. With the valve 13 partially open, condensate flows from the reservoir 2 through bores 40 to a nozzle 38, but further opening, in cold conditions in the tank 5, causes steam from the line 1 and the top of the reservoir to flow down a tube 35 to the nozzle 38 to mix with the condensate on its way to the tank 5.

Title: Improvements in hinges or the like
IPC: E05D3/02
Filed: 1935-01-30
Abstract: 444,772. Hinges. GUALCO, F., 25, Corso Monte Grappa, Genoa, Italy. Jan. 30, 1935, No. 3034. [Class 65 (ii)] A hinge comprises two members each consisting of a wing or leaf and a casing or housing portion, formed from a unitary stamping, the casing parts being aligned to receive a hinge pin and a number of discs surrounding the pin, with means for holding the discs firmly together. The discs may all have central circular perforations to form a good bearing for the pin, or two sets of discs may be used, arranged alternately and connected alternately to the pin and the casing to produce friction on relative rotation between them. The casing parts may be of any non-circular shape, and the discs may be arranged in one or both members. In the form shown in Fig. 3, the discs C fit fairly well, but not necessarily accurately, in the lower hinge casing, and are centrally perforated to fit closely on the pin E, which may be in one piece with a liner G in the upper hinge casing. The discs C are pressed together between a fixed washer F and a collar F<1> fixed on the pin; an anti-friction washer &c. may be provided between the hinge parts. In a modification, in which one hinge member has casings above and below that of the other, the pin is carried by the former member and the discs are held between two washers fixed in the casing of the latter member, the ends of the hinge being closed by a cap and the head of the pin. Fig. 7 shows a hinge in which the members are held in any position by friction. The pin E is non-circular, and alternate discs C fit non- rotatably on it, having circular peripheries to allow rotation in the casing part, the remaining discs C<1> fitting non-rotatably in the non-circular casing and having clearance holes for the pin E. The discs are supported between a washer K and a plate L on the pin, being pressed together to produce friction by a screw M bearing on the end of the pin E, which is slidable but not rotatable in the lower hinge casing. In a modification, pressure is applied by extending the pin E downwards and threading it into the cap M<1> ; in this form the discs may be placed in either the upper or the lower casing. In a further modification, the supporting washer K is free to slide in the hinge casing, and is pressed upwards by a helical or disc spring ; instead of a separate spring some of the discs C, C<1> may be made concave to act as springs.
