Title: Control devices for book-keeping machines
Filed: 1957-11-26
Abstract: 844,481. Calculating-machines. KIENZLE APPARATE G.m.b.H. Nov. 26, 1957 [Dec. 3, 1956], No. 36802/57. Class 106 (1). A programme control unit carried by the paper carriage of a calculating machine is adjusted automatically to vary the programme when the carriage is caused to move into certain columnar positions. Thus, when the machine is used for preparing a statement sheet and a ledger card arranged side-by-side in the carriage, the programme may normally provide for the entry of amounts in appropriate columns on both the sheet and the card, but when the carriage is caused to move into a New Balance column of the sheet the programme unit may be adjusted automatically to prevent normally effective carriage-return controls from returning the carriage from the item-entry columns of the card. The programme unit 9, 10, carried by the carriage has columns of slots 6 for receiving projections 12 arranged to actuate levers 60 so as to select the functions to be performed by the machine. The unit also carries column stops 11 which co-operate with a tabulating lever 61. When the carriage is moved to the New Balance column of the statement sheet, by depression the normal motor key to effect the entry of an item in a preceding column instead of a skiptab key, a pivoted column stop 55, Fig. 3, is engaged by the tabulating lever 61 and this stop, through a link 59 rocks a shaft 18 carried by the carriage. This shaft acts through a link 58 to shift a slide 23<SP>1</SP>, 23<SP>11</SP>, which by means of cam slots 46, 47 raises control projections 44, 45 in the item column of the ledger card, which normally cause a return of the carriage, to ineffective positions. Other slides, e.g. 26, may also be shifted by the shaft 18 so as to raise or lower other control projections. If the carriage is caused, again by previous depression of the normal motor key instead of the skip-tab key, to move into a debit item column of the statement sheet instead of a credit column, a pivoted stop 52, Fig. 2, is rocked and shifts a slide 20<SP>1</SP> 20<SP>11</SP> which withdraws a column stop 50 normally effective to arrest the carriage in the credit column. The slide 20<SP>1</SP>, 20<SP>11</SP> is coupled by a link 53 to a slide 21<SP>1</SP>, 21<SP>11</SP> which lowers a column stop 54 for the debit column of the ledger card. The column stop 51 for the column before the debit column of the statement sheet is also pivoted and is coupled to the stop 52 so that when it is engaged by the tabulating lever 61 as shown it restores the stop 52 and the slides coupled thereto. A shaft 17 mounted on the opposite end of the carriage to the shaft 18 may be hand set so as to actuate, by means of links 35, 41, the slides 20<SP>1</SP>, 20<SP>11</SP>, 21<SP>1</SP>, 21<SP>11</SP>, 23<SP>1</SP>, 23<SP>11</SP>, and 26 and other slides 22, 24 and 25 for controlling other control projections so as to set the programme unit for printing on the ledger card only.

Filed: 1929-12-02
Abstract: 344,053. Golf-practising appliances. WILDEY, E. M., Millgrove, Cobham Road, East Horsley, Surrey. Dec. 2, 1929, No. 36857. [Class 132 (ii).] A device for use in practising golf and adapted to indicate the strength, direction and elevation of golf strokes, comprises a sleeve 7 that is tethered to the ball and is adapted when the ball is struck to slide outward from its containing cylinder 5 against the action of one or more springs 15. The movement of the sleeve is transmitted through a nut 9 and screw 8 to a rotary chart 17, co-operating with an index 18 and graduated to indicate the pull on the spring. The index 18 may bear against the chart 17 to prevent its return movement, or a separate detent 21 may be provided for that purpose. In a modification, bevel gearing is introduced between the screw 8 and the chart. The cylinder 5 is pivotally mounted in a forked turntable 2 carried by a pedestal 1. The angle of elevation of the flight of the ball is indicated on an arcuate chart 25 by a pointer 28 pivoted to the turntable and actuated by a toothed sector 35 carried by the cylinder. The cylinder is held in its inclined position by a spring-urged pawl 45 cooperating with a ratchet 46. The direction of flight of the ball is indicated on a chart 26, similar to and disposed opposite the chart 25, by means of a pointer pivoted to the turntable and having teeth meshing with a rack on the pedestal 1.

Title: Improvements relating to the spectral dispersion of radiant energy
IPC: G01J3/18
Filed: 1959-10-30
Abstract: 875,101. Grating spectrometers. PERKINELMER CORPORATION. Oct. 30, 1959 [March 27, 1959], No. 36944/59. Class 97(1) The monochromator of a spectrophotometer includes a reflection diffraction grating of such groove-width and blaze angle as to give maximum diffracted intensity, along a direction of non-normal incidence of previously dispersed radiation, of a pre-selected waveband throughout which the grating remains an efficient dispersing means, the grating being adjustable to the normal incidence position to act as a Littrow mirror for longer wavelengths where the prior dispersing means, e.g. a sodium chloride prism for the far infra-red spectrum, is sufficiently efficient. In the double-beam apparatus shown in the Figure, the grating 44 is rotated, by means of the cam 56 and lever 58, about the position indicated by the full line to scan the spectral region about the blaze wavelength. At a pre-determined wavelength, the point 60 of the cam engages the lever and there is a sharp change of angle of the grating into the dotted position where it is normal to the dispersed radiation from prism 42 and acts as a Littrow mirror.

Title: Shaped exothermic products
Inventor: CROSS STANLEY
IPC: F24V30/00
Filed: 1960-10-28
Abstract: The tendency of heat generating linings for foundry applications, comprising laminates of layers of refractory material and/or layers of exothermic composition, to split after moulding is overcome by interleaving the layers with structurally compressible material.  An exothermic composite formed from aluminium, iron oxide, sodium nitrate, sodium or potassium cryolite, fluorspar, and core gum is moistened, granulated to 2 mm. average diameter, then mixed with granulated grog (crushed firebrick) and core gum and further moistened before moulding to slab shape.  A thin layer of corrugated cardboard is laid on the slab followed by a layer of sand with sodium silicate binder.  The resultant slab is pressed so that the layers adhere, treated with carbon dioxide to set the silicate binder, then stored for 1 1/2 hours at 150 DEG C.  Other suitable structurally compressible substances are corrugated paper, papier mache, embossed paper (" waffle " paper), asbestos fibre, slag wool, paper pulp.  The interleaving layers, if of loose material, may be bonded in situ or, if in sheet form, may be perforated so that a continuous body of the other layers, extends throughout. Specifications 627,678, 785,984 and 805,823 are referred to.

Title: Improvements in or relating to steering gear for self-propelled vehicles or vessels
IPC: B62D3/14
Filed: 1929-12-13
Abstract: 345,294. Pumps. TINKLER, A., 18, Langham Street, Walton, Liverpool. Dec. 13, 1929, No. 38191. [Class 102 (i).] A pump for operating steering- gear comprises six radial cylinders formed in two sets of three, the cylinders of one set 32, 32a, 32b being rigidly connected together and those of the other set 32c, 32d, 32e being also rigidly connected together, whilst both sets can rotate slightly in the fixed pump casing 31 to an extent limited by fixed nozzles 29, 29a against which the cylinders 32c, 32b are normally pressed by a spring 40. Plungers 33, 33a .. 33e are reciprocated in the cylinders by springs 33f and a cam or eccentric 35 rotated by the hand-wheel 34. Non-return valves 37, 38 are provided in the plungers and cylinders respectively, and all the cylinders of each set are connected together by pipes 42 or 42a. When the hand-wheel is rotated liquid is pumped from the interior space of the casing into passages 39 at the outer ends of the cylinders and the pipes 42, 42a. If the handwheel is rotated in a clockwise direction (say) the cam 35 has a torque effect on the two sets of cylinders, tending to rotate them in the same direction and so pressing cylinder 32b more firmly against nozzle 29a while lessening the pressure of cylinder 32c against nozzle 29. Thus the liquid pumped into the pipe 42 passes through the nozzle 29a and pipe 28a into cylinder 27a, forcing plunger 26 to the left, the pressure in pipe 42a and nozzle 29 re-acting on the cylinder 32c so as to move it slightly away from the nozzle and allow liquid to escape from cylinder 27 through pipe 28 and nozzle 29 into the casing 31. If the hand-wheel is rotated counterclockwise the conditions are reversed and the plunger 26 is moved to the right.

Title: Methods of manufacturing high-strength, light-weight aggregates
IPC: C04B20/06
Filed: 1964-09-23
Abstract: Rigid, light aggregates for concrete are made by burning a bloating rock such as shale or sandstone with the rock layer at least partially covered with a mineral refractory powder which has a refractoriness higher than said rock and which does not form a eutectic compound with the rock.  In an example the bloating rock was a mineral mixture of shale and sandstone consisting of 72% SiO2, 14% Al2O3 and 3% Fe2O3. The preferred refractories are the siliceous materials siliceous sand, siliceous stone or acidic white earth which contain at least 80% silicic acid anhydride, and at most 2% ferric oxide, and the aluminous materials bauxite, diaspore or aluminous clay which contain at least 35% aluminium oxide and at most 2% ferric oxide. Combustion temperatures range from 1250 DEG  to 1360 DEG  C. After one burning step the refractory powder is separated from the aggregate and may be recycled.  The aggregates formed may be used to make concrete also containing fine aggregates, cement and water.

Title: Improvements in or relating to bends for circular wave guides
IPC: H01P1/02
Filed: 1958-12-05
Abstract: 857,889. Waveguides. MARIE, G. R. P. Dec. 5, 1958 [Dec. 19, 1957], No. 39295/58. Class 40(8). A bend for a circular waveguide includes spaced substantially rigid wedge-shaped metal segments of a torpid and wedgeshaped dielectric members, each dielectric member being positioned between two segments. In one arrangement, Fig. 3, metal segments 15 to 19 of a toroid, each in the form of a truncated wedge having an apex angle of the order of 5 degrees or less, are fixed in position on four arcuate metal rods 10 and 11 by set screws (not shown). Dielectric prisms 20 each have projecting portions shaped for at least partial engagement with the circular apertures of an adjacent pair of segments, and a plate portion 22 provided with two apertures to receive the rods 10. Nuts 12 at the ends of the rods 10 and 11 bear against flanges 13 of straight portions 14 of circular waveguide. The apex angles α of the dielectric prisms are chosen so that waves passing through the bend are deflected through an angle equal to the sum of the apex angles of the segments 15 to 19. TE 01  waves may be deflected through as much as 90 degrees by such an arrangement, the mode being maintained with a low power loss. Such power loss as does occur is due mainly to the radiation of spurious higher modes through the spaces between the metal segments. In an alternative arrangement, Fig. 4, designed to obviate this power loss, the dielectric prisms 33 and 34 have a refractive index which varies with distance from the axis 45. The prisms have an apex angle equal to that of the metal segments 27, 28 and 29 and are provided with circular recesses 35 and annular grooves 36 and 37 of varying width forming annular projections 41, 42 and 43 bounded by non-coaxial surfaces. The prisms may be made of moulded polyethylene and the dimensions of the grooves &c., may be calculated from formulae given in the Specification. A larger number of grooves may be employed than those shown in the Figure. The prisms 33 and 34 are shown spaced slightly apart in the Figure but in fact abut each other.
