Title: Indicating devices
IPC: G04B19/20
Filed: 1973-12-19
Abstract: 1450708 Digital clocks COPAL CO Ltd 19 Dec 1973 [25 Dec 1972] 58741/73 Heading G3T [Also in Division G4] In a flap-type indicator, e.g. a digital clock, having successively displayed flaps in respective series on a low speed (hours) drum T and a high speed (minutes) drum M, and a resilient synchronizing member S between the drums and actuable by the drum M, when the latter is near the end of a display series, into the path of the flaps on the drum T to prevent their premature dropping, the member S is first engaged by a cam C on the side of the drum M, then also by a lug M59' on the final flap M59 of the high speed series, and is then disengaged by the cam leaving the member S held only by the flap lug, Figs. 6, 7 (not shown) so that the member S and thus the low speed flap are released at the instant when the last high speed flap M59 drops on release by its holding member Km. Lugs on all but the final flap of the drum M can thus be dispensed with. The hours drum holding member Kt is moved to release the next flap to fall, TA 4-2  as shown, after the member S is moved to its restraining position. The clock may be a calendar clock with day or date flaps.

Abstract: 1,213,060. Latch fastenings. STILE-CRAFT MFRS. Inc. 31 Dec., 1968, No. 61923/68. Heading E2A. [Also in Division F2] A coupler assembly for connecting a hose terminal 11 to an outlet, e.g. of oxygen, &c., comprises a base 12, 13 forming a longitudinal chamber 20 and a tubular socket 26, which is removably inserted in the chamber 20 to normally clamp a thrust washer 52 against the surrounding wall of a valve port 22 which separates the chamber 20 into a rearward end which accommodates a poppet valve 43 and a forward end the outlet of which is closable by a primary valve plug 36, a compression spring 57 being constrained between the thrust washer 52 and the poppet valve 43 to urge the latter against the rear wall 23 of the rearward end of the chamber 20. The thrust washer 52 follows the tubular socket 26, under the action of the spring 57, during withdrawal of the socket 26 from the chamber 20 the poppet valve 43 closing the valve port 22 under the influence of the fluid pressure of a supply medium from an inlet pipe 25. The base comprises an end cap 14; mounted in the rear wall 15 of a receptacle box 16 and a sleeve 13, the valve plug 36 having a passage 40 which is closed when the plug is located in its forwardmost position, a seal being effected by O-rings, and the head of the poppet valve 43 having flats 45 to provide flow passages between the valve and the wall of the chamber 20. When a plug 71, Fig. 1, is inserted into the socket 26, the valve plug 36 is pushed open, the plug 71 being placed in communication with the medium supply pipe 25. The hose terminal carries a latch 72 which is adapted to engage a shoulder 63 on a latch arm 61, which is biased by a spring 66, and is pivoted in a bracket 60 secured to a cover 17 for the box 16, the latch 72 being releasable by depressing an end 64.

Abstract: 635,863. Draught-regulators for stoves. SMITH & WELLSTOOD, Ltd., and LOUDON, A. Nov. 5, 1947, No. 29485. [Class 126] A damper and closable air inlet port mounted in a nozzle over the combustion chamber of a stove or cooker are so arranged that as the air inlet port, which is mounted in a cleaning door; is opened, the damper swings towards its closed position. As shown the damper 3 formed with pintles 4 resting on brackets 5 fixed to the wall of the nozzle 1 has formed on it a cam 6 which engages a pin 7 projecting on both sides from a baffle plate 8 pivoted at 9 to a cleaning door 10. The baffle plate 8 masks the air inlet port 11 provided in the door 10 and on unmasking the port 11 by rotating the plate 8, the pin 7 and cam 6 permit the damper to swing towards a closed position. The damper may be prevented from fully closing by an abutment formed in the wall of the nozzle. The projection 13 on the back of the damper prevents replacement of the cleaning door unless the damper is in a properly related position to the baffle plate 8

Patent GB-2017024-A (GB)
Title: Cable-operated conveyor
IPC: B61B9/00
Filed: 1979-03-15
Abstract: Previous conveyors comprised a drive truck with cable grip means fixed thereto. To enable the grip means to pass through a cable guide station comprising several pulleys, the pulleys were spring mounted so that they could be pushed aside by the cable grip means during the passage thereof through the station. This arrangement was unsatisfactory because it involved many moving parts in the cable guide station (e.g. situated on the gallery floor of a mine) and which were therefore subject to corrosion and dust problems. In the present invention, the cable grip means 22 is transversely slidably mounted on the drive truck and can, therefore, negotiate the pulleys 25 and 26 at cable guide station 8 without the pulleys having to be spring mounted. <IMAGE>

Title: Process for the Production of Low Weight Synthetic Plastics Bodies
IPC: B29C41/22
Filed: 1979-09-28
Abstract: A low weight synthetic plastics body comprising a moulded casing and a foam core therein comprises the sequential introduction into a mould of a first liquid polymerizable monomer composition and a second liquid polymerizable monomer composition. The two compositions contain the same monomer component but the second composition additionally contains a blowing agent.

Title: Improvements in containers
IPC: B65D50/06
Filed: 1980-12-05
Abstract: A cylindrical container comprises a body portion (1) (Fig. 1.) and a lid portion (see Fig. 3) in which the rims of both portions are provided with complementary discontinuous ridges (3, 4) such that, in only one position of the lid portion in relation to the body portion (1), the ridges (3, 4) on each rim are aligned with complementary breaks in the ridges (4, 3) on the other rim so that the lid portion can readily be fitted to and removed from the body portion (1). The lid portion can be rotated with respect to the body portion (1) to provide a 'child proof' lock. In other positions of the lid portion (1), the lid can be snap fitted on to said body portion. Pressure applied to the centre top of the lid releases segments 7, 8 (see Fig. 6) from under edges 9 so that in the upward position (Fig. 8) they can easily be gripped and used to rotate the lid with respect to the body portion. <IMAGE>
