Title: Two part electrical connector
Inventor: MARMILLION DAVID JOHN
IPC: H01R13/622
Filed: 1982-06-30
Abstract: A releasable two part electrical connector comprises i) first and second connector members (10, 20) having forward parts (14, 24) adapted to mate with each other by relative axial movement; ii) a sleeve (50) which circumposes said forward parts and is axially movable between a coupling position (Fig. 4) and a release position (Fig. 6); and iii) one or more lugs (90) contrained in detent(s) (80) of a coupling member (70) for radial movement between the internal surface of sleeve (50) and an external thread (16) on forward part (14). In the coupling position, lug(s) (90) are urged into engagement with thread (16) to hold connector members (10, 20) in a mated condition. Axial movement of sleeve (50) from the coupling position to the release position causes lug(s) (90) to be moved radially out of engagement with thread (16), thus permitting separation of connector members (10, 20). <IMAGE>

Title: Vertical slat blinds
Inventor: MENICHETTI PIER LUIGI
IPC: E06B9/36
Filed: 1983-06-28
Abstract: A vertical slat blind comprises a rail (1), pulley blocks (15), an endless draw cord (2) and vertical blinds (5) suspended from small discs (3) which rest on both runs of the draw cord (2). The under surface (30) of the discs (3) may be serrated and a master slider (25) is non-slidably attached to one run of the draw cord (2). The discs (3) are preferably linked by flat strips (14) with a lengthwise slot (26) engaged by a cranked T-element (30) of an adjacent strip. To draw back the blinds the master slider (25) under the action of draw cord (2) moves the discs (3) successively into contact, the strips (14) sliding one beneath the other. To move the blinds(S) in the reverse direction the master slider (25) pulls its attached disc (3), successive discs (3) being pulled by linking strips (14). Rotation of the blind slats is achieved by frictional engagement between the disc (3) and the draw cords. <IMAGE>

Title: Safety device for enclosed switchboard provided with shutter device
Inventor: YAMAMOTO TOSHITARO
IPC: H02B11/24
Filed: 1983-07-07
Abstract: An enclosed switchboard provided with a shutter device 4 additionally comprises a safety device 50. The shutter device includes shutters for closing the openings of disconnecting switch bushings and padlocks 17 for locking the shutters for safety, after a truck-type circuit interrupter 100 has been withdrawn from the enclosed switchboard. The safety device inhibits the truck-type circuit interrupter 100 from being inserted in the enclosed switchboard when one of padlocks 17 still locks one of the shutters and allows the truck-type circuit interrupter to be inserted in the enclosed switchboard only when all the padlocks 17 are removed from the shutters and used for locking the safety device against the bias of a spring (40) urging a stopper 19 into the path of the interrupter 100.   <IMAGE>

Title: Improvements in or relating to sidewall gas-cushion vehicles
Inventor: TATTERSALL EDWARD GUNSTON
IPC: B60V1/04
Filed: 1983-12-13
Abstract: With reference to Fig. 4, as sidewall gas-cushion vehicles travel at low speeds, (Froude No. 0.4 to 0.5), over a water surface 2, a large depression 25 is formed, in the water and within the cushion space. At its maximum, the depression occurs substantially midway along the sidewalls 5a. To avoid the escape of cushion gas through gaps created between the bottoms of the sidewalls 5a and the sides of the depression 25, the sidewalls have bottom surfaces which define convexities which "follow" the depression 25, below the surface thereof, whereby a cushion seal is preserved. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A shock absorber of the kind which is intended to perform a single energy-absorbing collapse in the event of a supported load being subjected to, for example, an accidental impact, comprises tubular elements 6,7, means 8,9 to cause rolling or scrolling deformation thereof when a force which exceeds a predetermined magnitude is axially applied and shear means 1,2 preventing deformation until said force magnitude is exceeded. Each tubular element 6,7 is of tapering wall thickness (gauge) from a relatively short axially central region thereof of maximum thickness towards its opposite axial ends. An alternative embodiment is described (Fig. 4) in which, instead of pairs of tubular elements 6,7 in a series of stages, a single tubular element (12) is provided that is of tapering wall thickness (gauge) from a region of maximum thickness at one axial end towards the opposite axial end. <IMAGE>

IPC: B65B19/22
Filed: 1984-04-16
Abstract: A method and apparatus for packing batches of cigarettes, in which batches B are transferred from a hopper 10 into compression boxes 16 of an intermittent conveyor 14, and are the packaged (e.g. in soft packs) while passing along continuous conveyors 22, 30 and 38. Compressed batches B are transferred laterally from the compression boxes endwise into U-shaped foil wrappers F1 in compartments 28 of the conveyor 22, where folding flaps 88 fold over the two sides of the wrapper before the transfer is completed (Figure 4). In a modification, the batches are formed from a continuous stream of cigarettes (Figures 8 and 9), and any voids V in the stream are filled by an intermittent acceleration rotor 350 (Figure 11). A second outer label foil is applied in a like manner on the conveyor 30 and a stamp applied. The compression boxes each have a movable wall displaced by air pressure applied through ports in the conveyor 14 to compress the contained batch when passing pressure ducts 48 and 50 (Figure 3). <IMAGE>

Patent GB-2164722-A (GB)
Title: Improvement to sieving machines
Inventor: CARTER ARTHUR CHARLES
IPC: B07B1/40
Filed: 1984-09-19
Abstract: A sieve shaking machine which operates at sub-sonic frequency, about 6 to 10 Hertz, and high amplitude, about 35 mm. In these conditions the particles being segregated lift from the sieve meshes, due to their own inertia, and tumble as the rising mesh changes direction each cycle. This system reduces process time considerably, enables irregular and flaky particles to be segregated efficiently by machine. The low frequency high amplitude action is obtained by applying the principle of a mass freely suspended on a spring and the system operates at its natural resonant frequency; it is therefore highly efficient mechanically. The laboratory type testing machine specified uses not more than 50 watts and may be used for the three standard sieve diameters, 20, 30 and 45 cms. <IMAGE>

Title: Rim wiper
Inventor: EMMERSON CHARLES ANTHONY
IPC: F16D65/00
Filed: 1984-10-31
Abstract: A rim wiper is securely attached to bicycle brake calipers positioning a wiper block near the wheel rim. When the brakes are applied in wet weather the wiper block is pressed against the wheel rim, in front of the existing standard brake blocks, and wipes the rim of water allowing the standard brakes to operate more efficiently than they normally would in wet weather. To reduce wear on the soft material of the wiper block, this can be pivoted away from the wheel rim in dry weather, until required, without removing the rim wiper from the calipers, by sliding arm 2 against bias of spring 4 thus removing the bifurcated end of the arm from under the head of pin 6 and relocating the bifurcated end under the head of pin 7. <IMAGE>
