Title: Can or container closure
IPC: B65D47/06
Filed: 1920-05-07
Abstract: 142,862. Starcke, E. P. Dec. 10, 1918, [Convention date]. Tapping.-A device for drawing off the contents of cans &c. comprises a spout in the form of a sliding cylinder 9 adapted to be housed inside the can &c. when closed. A liquid-tight joint is made around the periphery of the spout by a packing-ring 4 secured in the mouth of the neck 2 between a shell 13 crimped on to the neck and a flange 3. When the closing cap is on, the lower end of the spout is held against a packing- disk 7 in the bottom of a fixed cylinder 5 depending from the rim 3. Projections 10 of the sliding cylinder engage in slots 8 of the fixed cylinder, these slots serving to allow passage of the liquid contents into the spout. The mouth of the spout is closed by a pivoted valve 12, which is secured against tampering by a sealing-strip.

Abstract: 929,336. Error detecting telegraph systems. DE STAAT DER NEDERLANDEN, TEN DEZE VERTEGENWOORDIGD DOOR DE DIRECTEUR-GENERAAL DER POSTERIJEN, TELEGRAFIE EN TELEFONIE. April 4, 1962 [April 4, 1961], No. 12940/62. Drawings to Specification. Class 40 (3). The invention provides a means for translating a 5-unit code to an 8-unit code, the 8-unit code being such that no character signal contains more than three consecutive elements having the same polarity and so that there can be no more than three consecutive elements of similar polarity in any sequence of elements. In the embodiment described, a tape transmitter feeds 5-unit signals to set five trigger circuits. Three further triggers are provided, these being set in accordance with the above requirements by means of a number of diode gates which are fed by the first five triggers. There is an additional feature that each character signal has four mark and four space elements, additional gates are necessary to ensure this. Specification 774,509 is referred to.

Title: Spring coiling machine with auxiliary drive and control
IPC: B21F3/00
Filed: 1976-03-31
Abstract: 1504255 Coiling wire TORIN CORP 31 March 1976 [14 May 1975] 12981/76 Heading B3E In a coiling machine, a wire is advanced to a coiling abutment by feed rolls driven through a clutch mechanism by a main drive and an auxiliary drive responsive to the the position of the leading end of a coil being formed, such that the final portion of a drive cycle is effected by the auxiliary drive and terminated in response to the position of the leading end. Fig. 1 illustrates a spring coiling machine in which feed rolls 10 advance wire 12 towards a coiling tool 16. The feed rolls are driven through clutch mechanism 42 which is unidirectional, and transmits drive from whichever of main coiler drive 20 and auxiliary drive servomotor 34 produces the greater forward rotational velocity. The main drive 20 also drives the coiler cam shaft 22. The servomotor 34 is energized at constant speed by amplifier 36 controlled by a bi-stable device 62 which is set ON or OFF by a position sensor 58, operated by the cam shaft and which is adjustable so as to emit a pulse when the coil end, which advances along a helical path, reaches a preselected position. Fig. 3 illustrates an operational cycle, and shows at 48 how the speed of main drive 20 varies with time. At about half-way through the cycle at point 78, sensor 58 emits a pulse so that motor 34 is energized, as at 50. At 52, the speed of motor 20 has dropped to the point where motor 34 takes over the drive, which is then terminated at 68 by pulse 76 from sensor 30, resulting in a precise coil size. A cutting tool is then operated. In a more elaborate version, the coiling tool 16 is movable between operative and inoperative positions by cam shaft 22, and the cam shaft and auxiliary drive shaft 40 operate a plurality of sensors, whereby straight tails are formed at each end of the coil by the auxiliary drive, the servomotor being indexed back to a starting position between each operative period.

Title: Improvements in or relating to sheet-feeding machines
IPC: B65H3/48
Filed: 1921-05-06
Abstract: 184,262. Gaved, C., and Hay, A. M. May 6, 1921. Sheet-separators.-A sheet-feeding machine, of the kind in which a vertically oscillated air-box 12 is used to direct blasts of air on the edges of a pile of sheets 21, is constructed with an air blower which is mounted with its driving-gear or with a driving-motor and gear on an auxiliary frame so arranged that it can be attached to an existing machine, and the outlet from the blower connected to the existing air-inlet connection for the air-box. As shown, the blower 29 is formed with an outlet pipe 38 terminating just below the inlet 37 of the air-box 12, which is oscillated bv bell cranks 24 operated from a shaft 25 geared to the main feed driving-shaft 15. The parts 37, 38 are connected by a short bellows member 39 formed of leather, or fabric treated to make it air-tight. The blower 29 is mounted on an auxiliary frame formed of two channel-section bars 27 connected by straps 28 to stays 14 of the main frame which also comprises uprights 10 and side frames 13. On the auxiliary frame are two shafts 31, 30, of which the shaft 31 is driven from the shaft 15 by sprocket gears 36, 35, and the shaft 31 drives shaft 15 bv sprocket gears 34, 32. The blower is driven from shaft 30 by a pulley 33 and a belt. In a modification, the auxiliary frame carries a blower and a motor which drives it by belt and pulley gearing, the bellows 39 in this case being connected to the blower without the use of a pipe 38.

Title: Improvements in the production of cellulose esters
IPC: C08B3/06
Filed: 1940-08-15
Abstract: 543,259. Cellulose esters. DREYFUS, H. Aug. 15, 1940, No. 13039. [Class 2 (ii)] Cellulose is esterified with an amount of acetic anhydride at least 5 times the weight of the cellulose and an amount of mineral acid catalyst not exceeding 5 per cent. of the weight of the cellulose, the conditions being such that the cellulose ester produced goes into solution. The reaction may be assisted by gentle heating to a peak temperature of 40-60‹ C. Mild cooling, e.g. with river water, may be effected but brine cooling is not required. The reaction mixture may contain solvents for the cellulose ester or diluents e.g. benzene which should not be in such amount as to prevent solution of the product. The cellulose may be pre-treated e.g. with acetic acid containing sulphuric acid. The primary cellulose ester may be precipitated from the primary solution and separately ripened. The precipitation may be effected by means of water or an organic non-solvent for the cellulose ester, e.g. petroleum ether, gasoline, kerosene, benzene, toluene, xylene, carbon tetrachloride, or di-isopropyl ether. The precipitated cellulose ester may be re-dissolved and ripened in solution, the necessary quantity of water or acid being added. The process is applicable to the production of cellulose acetate, or mixed esters of cellulose containing the acetate radical, e.g. cellulose aceto-butyrate. Specification 207,562, [Class 2 (ii)]. is referred to.

Abstract: 722,098. Measuring heat quantities. COMPAGNIE POUR LA FABRICATION DES COMPTEURS ET MATERIEL D'USINES A GAZ. June 1, 1951 [June 2, 1950], No. 13083/51. Class 97 (3). [Also in Group XIX] A meter for measuring the quantity of heat contained in hot water flowing through a pipe 14, Fig. 3, comprises a rotary type water meter 9 the continuous rotation of the shaft of which is converted by an integrating system 12 into the discontinuous rotation of a shaft which drives a totalisator 13. The water meter drives a shaft 1, Fig. 1, rigidly connected to arm la, which has a pin-and-slot connection 1b 2a with a lever 2. The opposite end of lever 2 is pivoted at 2b to an arm 4a which is freely pivoted at 8a on a disc 7. A pair of discs 5, 6 are provided having cut-out portions on their peripheries, so that when a finger 3 on lever 2 drops into the cut-out portions, a shoe 4 contacts disc 7 to rotate it and the shaft 8, but on reaching the end of a cut-out portion, finger 3 causes lever 2 to move its shoe 4 out of engagement with the disc 7. The disc 5 may be fixed and disc 6 positioned by a thermometer 10 which may be a differential one. Alternatively both discs 5, 6 may be positioned by thermometers, one at the inlet and the other at the outlet of apparatus such as a radiator. In a further form the rotary water meter closes and opens successively a pair of electric contacts which produces the rotation of an electric impulse receiver, the shaft of the latter actuating the integrating system as before. The discs 5, 6 may take into account the variation of the specific weight of water with temperature and each may have more than one cut-out portion.
