Title: Improvements relating to coin- operated gaming or amusement machines
IPC: G07F17/34
Filed: 1980-01-18
Abstract: A fruit machine, in addition to offering the usual spin of several drums, has a separate feature, randomly available, in which the drum positions are shuffled. This may be done automatically or at the instigation of the player and the result is the drums moving, not necessarily in the same direction and possibly reversing at least once after a random number of symbols, to assume different positions. The different symbol combination may result in a prize. This feature may be available before or after a normal drum spin, and does not preclude other features such as "holding" or "nudging".
Patent GB-2067929-A (GB)
Title: Centrifugal, wet gas scrubbing method and apparatus
IPC: B01D47/06
Filed: 1980-01-28
Abstract: Flue gas to be scrubbed with water and rising through a stack 12 is uniformly saturated with water by means of water atomizing jets 26 i.e., the gas to be scrubbed is wetted with water vapour to a relative humidity of substantially 100%. The wetted gas is then centrifugally compressed by many atmospheres, i.e., to a density many times atmospheric, in a centrifuge 16 to condense and extract from the wetted gas at least part of the water vapour therein, and particulate and gaseous contaminants contacted by the water vapour. The centrifuge comprises an outwardly converging rotor 18 in which annular screens 78, 80, 82 are mounted between a central axial inlet and peripheral outlets (not shown). The screens serve to reduce slippage between the rotor and the wetted gas flowing radially outwardly therethrough. <IMAGE>

Title: Substractive and Additive Differential Gear Reduction System
IPC: F16H3/70
Filed: 1980-10-29
Abstract: The gear reduction system is of the differential type utilizing two ring gears (11, 20) with teeth (A, D) on their inner circumference and first and second eccentric wheels (12, 16) having external teeth (B, C) engaging the teeth on the ring gears as they are caused to roll about the inner circumference by eccentrics (13, 17) on an input shaft (10). The first and second wheels have their eccentricities mounted in an offset relationship so as to provide dynamic balancing. By making the number of teeth on one of the eccentric wheels different from the number of teeth on the other, adding the second ring gear and providing appropriate pin carrier means (21) coupled in a given arrangement, a very high gear reduction can be achieved in a single packaging, equivalent to that heretofore only obtainable by ganging together separate reduction gear systems of this type. Various reduction ratios are obtainable by braking or coupling together various combinations of elements. One embodiment has two band brakes and constitutes a reversing gear, and another has three eccentric wheels etc. and three band brakes to provide a three ratio transmission. <IMAGE>
