Title: Method of inverting fluid flow and apparatus therefor
Inventor: AMARI HIROSHI
IPC: B29C48/50
Filed: 1982-10-21
Abstract: Methods and apparatus for changing the course of fluid from flowing (at 6) along the wall of a conduit to flowing (at 6') in the centre of the conduit, and causing fluid flowing (at 9) in the centre to flowing (at 9') along the wall, are disclosed. The method comprises converting a flow (B) into a stream having a generally annular cross-section (D), causing the entire part of the generally annular stream to change its course to flow in a direction substantially opposite to its initial direction into the mouth (36) of a central tubular section surrounded by the fluid in said generally annular stream. The streamlines of the fluids are prevented from crossing each other at a substantial angle at any point of the course of the generally annular stream. The method and apparatus are applicable to the casting of film or sheet. Fig. 1, not shown, and the device may be incorporated in a filter Fig. 4, not shown. <IMAGE>

Title: Bag forming machine
Inventor: HALL ARTHUR
IPC: B65H31/30
Filed: 1983-03-30
Abstract: A bag forming machine of the top stacking type has means at the stacking station whereby a stack (12) of bags are clamped during high acceleration arising in their transfer from the stacking position to a discharge conveyor. The stack can therefore be transferred without interrupting the rhythm of delivery of bags to the stacking station. The bags are clamped at their "cut" ends by a first clamp (14, 15) during stacking; when a stack is complete, the first clamp is released and a second clamp (22, 24) activated and moved perpendicularly to the stack so as to apply dragging motions to the stack to move the "cut" ends of the bags away from the first clamp and to present the "weld" ends of the bags at a roll nip (30, 31) which feeds to the conveyor. <IMAGE>

Title: Improvements relating to the closing of mineshafts
Inventor: FORD ROBERT ERNEST
IPC: E21D7/00
Filed: 1983-07-15
Abstract: A mineshaft which is surrounded by soft ground is closed by elongate support members which each comprise an elongate main member (3) with a stabiliser leg (9) depending from one end region and carrying a spreader plate (11).
