An opening 118 provides an entry for the battery gases which pass through the plug along paths indicated by arrows and a baffle 117, 150 prevents loss of electrolyte. The gases pass through gaps 152 to compartment 147 on the underside of a porous diffuser 123 and flow through the diffuser to a compartment 136 formed in the cover 115. From the compactment 136 the gases are vented to atmosphere through a pair of elongated openings (only one shown). The ratio of the volume (cubic inches) of compartment 136 to the area (square inches) of the outlet opening is in the range 2 : 1 to 0À5 : 1 to control expansion of any gases ignited in the compartment so that the flame is extinguished. The diffuser 123 prevents ignition of gases within body part 111. The diffuser may be made from alumina, silica, or processed mineral grains having a glass binder; alternatively, it may be made from microporous polypropylene. In another embodiment, Fig. 5, the baffle 317 comprises three similar disc portions 350 having openings 360 and there is a single elongated outlet opening 326.

As illustrated, the intermediate part 6 has a continuous strand 7 and links 12-14, and the tyre chain is formed as sections which are each detachably connected to an adjacent section by hooks 36 and links 35 and which are also detachably connected to side chains 25 of the side parts. Clamping chains 29, 30 pass though links 27, 28 and each clamping chain is connected at one end to the associated side chain. A tensioning lever 39 is provided for tensioning the clamping chains 29, 30. To tension the outboard clamping chain, for example, the lever is detachably connected to any desired link 26 or 31 of the associated side chain 25, the free end of the outboard chain is passed through portion 47 of the lever slot 40 until further movement of chain 30 is not possible, the chain 30 is locked with the lever by being displaced into portion 46 of the slot, and the lever is pivoted to tension the chain. Locking member 32 of chain 30 is then locked to an appropriate link of the chain to maintain the tension. The lever may be secured in its clamping position (on the outboard side part 3) to a securing member 48. The Specification discloses a tyre chain (Fig. 2, not shown) having a different mesh pattern.

Title: Improvements in Safety Guards for Biscuit or Dough Brakes.
Inventor: GRANT THOMAS
IPC: A21C1/14
Filed: 1916-02-04
Abstract: 101,994. Grant, T. Feb 4. 1916. Interconnecting guard with starting-gear.-A safety guard for biscuit or dough brakes is locked in position by the starting-lever when the machine is running, and when open it locks the starting-lever so that the machine cannot be started until the guard is closed. A guard a is hinged at b at each side of the machine, and is held in position by a plate d on the starting-lever c engaging a projection j. Two starting-levers c are interconnected, and the arrangement is such that, when the guard on the side of the machine at which the material passes towards the rollers D, D<1> is locked, the other guard on the discharge side is free to be moved. When the machine is stopped, the guard can be raised, and it is held in the open position by a spring catch f on the plate d against a stop-flange i; in this position, the projection engages the curved edge of the plate and prevents the lever c from being moved until the guard is lowered. When a thick mass of dough is being passed between the rollers, there is no danger of the operator's hands being caught, and the guard can therefore be left unlocked. To permit of this, the guard can be moved transversely away from the plate d, except when held in the lower positions of the roller D, by guiding- grooves formed on extensions of the bearing-bush.

A gas turbine plant in which a compressor driven by a turbine supplies combustion air to the primary zone of a combustion chamber comprises a heat-exchanger arranged to heat air before entering the combustion chamber, a duct by-passing the heat-exchanger to connect the turbine exhaust directly with atmosphere and a duct connected to pass air directly from the compressor to the second entry which is so located that this air forms a cooling air stream and at least a part of the secondary combustion air. A compressor 1 discharges through a heatexchanger 2 to a first entry of a combustionchamber 3 feeding a turbine 4 driving the compressor. Primary combustion air enters through the first entry. Air from the compressor 1 also passes through a duct 7 to an annular channel 8 connected by ports in the combustion chamber wall to the space between the outer casing 9 and flame tube 11. These ports constitute the second entry to the combustion chamber. A flow control valve 10 is located in the duet 7. The turbine exhausts through the heatexchanger 2. A heat-exchanger by-pass duct 17 and valve 18 are also provided. The valve 10 may be operated either manually or automatically and preferably in dependence upon the pressure drop across the heat-exchanger. The valve 10 is progressively opened as the load is increased. The flow control valve 18 may be adjusted either manually or automatically. In a modification, Fig. 2 (not shown), the turbine is replaced by two turbines in series, the lowpressure turbine driving the compressor and the high-pressure turbine generating useful power.
