IPC: A47J36/20
Filed: 1922-11-09
Abstract: 207,023. During, J. B. Nov. 9, 1922. Pea-boiling bags.-Peas or other vegetables are cooked by being supported in an open-work bag disposed above water in a saucepan so that the bottom of the bag is very close to the level of the water. The cooking is then effected partly by the steam and partly by the bubbles formed which rise up through the vegetables. In the construction shown, a bag of cotton stockinette is sewn or gummed between strips d, e of thin cardboard &c. forming a rim which may be treated to make it fireproof, the rim being supported outside the mouth of the pan and tied to the handle. The bag may be of strong cotton or twine &c., and may be supported from the mouth of the pan or from the lid by tapes, or a metal rim, or metal clips, or cross-pieces bridging the pan may be employed.

Abstract: 1,146,794. Absorbents. SARTORIUSMEMBRANFILTER G.m.b.H. 5 July, 1967 [11 July, 1966], No. 30864/67. Heading C1C. [Also in Division G6] Dissolved radioactive ions are removed from a liquid by passing the liquid through a column containing a supported microcrystalline difficultly soluble salt containing non-radio-active ions isotopic with the ions to be removed from the liquid. Rapid isotopic exchange takes place between the radio-active and non-radio-active ions. 'Examples describe the precipitation of strontium sulphate, yttrium phosphate, and silver iodide on to cotton wool and the use of a product containing strontium and yttrium to remove Sr-90 from strontium nitrate solution. The support may be dissolved in an organic solvent, e.g. methyl acetate, and the radioactive salt filtered off; alternatively the support may be burnt to reduce the volume of radio-active material.

Centreless grinding; guides and rests. - In a centreless grinding-machine wherein the cylindrical work is supported on a rest between peripherally opposed grinding and control wheels 7, 8, the rest is provided with an adjustable and renewable wearing-bar 9. The bar is of circular or polygonal cross-section and is supported in a groove, 2 in the base 1 of the work-carrier. The groove may be undercut so as to prevent displacement and lifting of the bar, and, adjacent the bar, transverse holes may be formed for screws 10 which press clamps 11 against the bar. The carrier 1 may be slotted below the bottom of the groove so that it may be pressed up to the bar by transverse screws'. In a modification, Fig. 9, the groove 2<a> has its side walls of unequal height but. is formed to envelope more than one half of the bar as in the construction described above. When the acting surface of the bar is worn, the bar is turned in the groove, notches in the bar or an index-plate indicating the degree of angular adjustment.

Abstract: 648,588. Metal-working presses. MASSEY, Ltd., B. & S., and FOSTER, J. Nov. 29, 1948, No. 30895. Drawings to Specification. [Class 83 (iv)] In a forging &c. machine having a ram actuated by an eccentric shaft with associated brake and clutch mechanism, switch-gear is provided to give continuous, single-stroke, or inching control, and electrical means for delay: ing the brake application includes an adjustable resistance-capacity delay circuit, with means for adjusting the circuit in accordance with the momentary speed of the motor driving the press. The machine is started by a pedal-switch and, for stopping the ram, cams control the release of both the brake and clutch solenoids in continuous and single-stroke operations. A pushbutton constitutes the inching control. The solenoids actuate air-valves constructed to provide quick-release for both the brake and the clutch, but to delay the clutch engagement when the brake is released. The circuit for delaying the brake application is provided to enable the ram to return fully to T.D.C. even if the motor-speed has been considerably reduced during a heavy working-stroke. The circuit is associated with a phase of the motor supply so that, when the motor-speed falls, the increased current required actuates solenoids to bring extra resistances into the delay circuit. Alternative electrical circuits are described.

Abstract: 364,218. Aircraft wheel-braking systems. STEVENS, H. L., Royal Air Force, Martlesham Heath, Woodbridge, Suffolk. Oct. 21, 1930, No. 31527. [Class 4.] -A device for controlling port and starboard brakes on an aircraft simultaneously or independently is mounted on the aircraft rudder bar in such a manner that in one position of the device relative to the rudder bar movement of the latter does not apply the brakes and in one or more other positions of the device relative to the rudder bar movement of the latter causes differential application of the brakes. The rudder bar 3, Fig. 1, is pivoted at 18 and carries a dummy rudder bar 1 capable of sliding movement on guides 2 against the resistance of springs 5. A lever 8 fixed to the bar 1 is connected at 13 to port and starboard brake control cables or rods 9, 10 through the intermediary of spaced rocking levers 14, 15. The axis 18 of the rudder bar 3 passes through point 13 so that in the position shown rocking of the rudder bar does not cause application of the brakes. The bar 1 may be moved bodily towards the bar 3 by pressure on its foot rests 4 and can be locked in this position to apply both brakes equally by Bowden mechanism actuating detents 6 on the bar 1 adapted to engage in holes 7 on the guides 2. The bar may, similarly, be locked in the outer " off " position. In this position rocking of the rudder bar to one side or the other, Fig. 3, causes differential application of the brakes. The control cables may incorporate resilient means at points along their lengths. In an application to fluid pressure operated brakes, Fig. 5, the levers 14, 15 are connected to the piston rods of port and starboard brake control pistons. The guide rods 2 are a loose fit in the holes in the bar 1 so that pressure on one pedal tilts the rudder bar to apply one brake only.

A floating roof for a liquid-storage tank comprises an outer rim, a central drain and a single inner deck membrane annularly secured to the bottom part of the rim, which membrane is centrally weighted and has a substantially unbroken surface with a slight inward slope and slightly-depressed inwardly directed valleys in its surface spaced apart by slightly-raised hills with an average inward slope and a slight upwardly-convex curvature extending substantially from the central part to the drain. In one form, Figs. 3 and 4, the roof comprises a hollow box rim R attached to a metal deck membrane M centrally weighted by a weight W which may consist of loose sand retained by a wall 18. A number of semi-flexible channelsectioned radial ribs 20 are secured to the membrane M at a suitable angular spacing so that the portions of the membrane to which the ribs are secured are less flexible than the intermediate portions and radial valleys 24 separated by hills 25 are formed in the membrane. Vent channels 30 in the bottom of the box rim R are provided to allow air to escape when the tank is filled. In further forms (a) the rim is open at the top and the ribs are stiff enough to remain straight when the roof is floating; (b) the ribs 60, Fig. 6, are short, merely to form hills and valleys in the outer part of the roof, and the inner ends of the ribs may be additionally weighted as at 67; (c) the hills and valleys are caused by a plurality of radial rows of transverse contour members 80, Fig. 8, which are secured to the membrane at their concave upper edges 81. The ribs may be of wood. U.S.A. Specifications 2,497,047 and 2,531,898 are referred to.

This effect may be achieved by changing over from sector to sector the aeration of the inner regions at a rate different from the quadrantto quadrant-change over rate of the blending chamber, with outer regions always connected to a more intensely aerated quadrant and changing over at the same rate as the quadrants. Alternatively the inner regions may always be connected to a less intensely aerated quadrant, with synchronous change-over. Aeration of the inner region sectors may additionally be cyclically interrupted.
