Title: Improvements in or relating to registering or counting apparatus
IPC: B67D7/08
Filed: 1940-03-28
Abstract: 541,525. Registering and counting apparatus. VEEDER-ROOT, Inc. March 28, 1940, No. 5643. Convention date, April 1, 1939. [Class 106 (i)] Apparatus for registering and counting the number of units and the cost of gasoline or other material dispensed during transactions comprises sets of numeral wheels with transfer mechanism between their associated rotary order elements, a resetting or zeroizing shaft for actuating trains of gearing for resetting the rotary order elements (and numeral wheels), a slip clutch incorporated in each train, and control means for placing two of the gears in each train into and out of mesh or driving connection. As shown in Fig. 2, the cost of the commodity is indicated on each of two sets of numeral wheels I, II and the units or amounts dispensed are similarly indicated by numeral wheels III, IV, the wheels being rotated by gear connections with associated rotary order elements 5, 6, 7 and 51, 61, 71, Fig. 5, located on intermediate shafts 17, 17<SP>1</SP>. The lowest order rotary elements 5, 51 are driven respectively through clutches 20, 201, and shafts 19, 21, the shaft 21 being connected to the meter (not shown) of the dispensing pump and the shaft 19 being driven according to the unit price, at a selected speed relative to the shaft 21 through a speedvarying mechanism such as that described in Specification 416,706. After a dispensing operation, the cost and amount registering mechanisms are reset to zero by rotating a resetting shaft 22 in a clockwise direction as viewed in Fig. 2. During the rotation of this shaft, the transfer pinions 70, 701, Fig. 2, which are carried on pivoted yokes 81, 81<SP>1</SP> are first removed, by a cam 79, from mesh with the driven gears of the transfer mechanisms ; tiltable driving gears 80, Fig. 5, are brought (by axial movement of their supporting sleeves 116) into mesh with frictionallysupported gears 68, 68<SP>1</SP> ; the drives leading to the counters are turned slightly in a reverse direction in order to take up back-lash ; the main cam clutches 20, 20<SP>1</SP> are disengaged by a camoperated frame 160 and the driving gears of the counters are retained frictionally with the backlash taken up ; stop arms 164, 1641 are moved into the paths of zero stops 167, 1671 on the driving wheels 40, 40<SP>1</SP> of the rotary order elements ; the number wheels are rotated backwards by the driving trains thus established until arrested at zero by the stops, the gears 68, 68<SP>1</SP> slipping during the continued rotation of the shaft 22; the main clutches 20, 201 are again engaged by return of the cam-operated frame 160 ; the tiltable driving gears 80 are disengaged by a return axial movement ; the transfer pinions 70, 701 are re-engaged ; and the stop arms 164, 164<SP>1</SP> are removed by a slight cam-operated retrograde rotation of the resetting shaft 22, the mechanism then being in condition for a further dispensing operation. Totalizers for the cost and amount dispensed in a number of transactions are provided.

Abstract: 1,246,753. Dental handpieces. SIEMENS A.G. 5 Feb., 1970 [5 Feb., 1969], No. 5667/70. Heading A5R. [Also in Division H2] A dental handpiece comprises an electric fractional horsepower motor and an electronic commutator which may be disposed wholly or partially within the handpiece. The motor comprises a rotor 9 constructed as a permanent magnet and a stator consisting of a plastics housing 14 on which are arranged windings 15, and which is surrounded by laminations 16. The commutator comprises voltage generators 19 (and 19a) and transistors 29 to 32 acting as control members and switching devices respectively therefor. The transistors 29 to 32 are disposed on conductor plates 25 to 28 respectively, in circular formation about a central passage of the handpiece, and carry heat dissipating members (33 to 36 respectively). The conductor plates also carry amplifiers 37 to 40 respectively. The motor and commutator are held inside a cylindrical housing 5 of the handpiece by a disc 20 which carries pins 21, 22 for supplying the motor with electric current from an external hose (7) and which has perforations to allow an inflow of compressed air into the central passage of the handpiece for cooling the motor and the components of the commutator. A control device sets and maintains constant the rotational speed of the motor by supplying a constant current to the amplifiers and voltage generators. The direction of rotation of the motor can be reversed by actuating switch 41 to reverse the control current to the voltage generators. The amplifiers and the control device may be disposed externally of the handpiece.

Abstract: 1,120,973. Pinless hinge, with members formed by extrusion. GREAT LAKES ALUMINIUM FABRICATORS Inc. 9 Feb., 1967, No. 6217/67. Heading E2F. [Also in Division B8] A hinge comprises three members formed of extruded material such as aluminium, wherein two elongated side members having longitudinal arcuate slots therein are hinged about a third elongated member, of arcuate cross section, having a width equal to the total depths of the two arcuate slots, with one of its sides disposed in each of the slots. A side member 34 of rectangular cross section, has in its upper face (Fig. 3) an arcuate slot 44 with an elongated tab 46 extending along the convex side of its opening, and a small channel 54 along one corner. The second side member 40 is of identical cross section except for a lip 56 in place of the channel, which engages the latter to form a hinge line. The side members also have a further slot in the face opposite to that having the arcuate slot, for retaining dished edges 22 and 24 of panels forming the two halves of a hinged box or case (see Div. B8). A third, arcuate member 70, having the same curvature as the slots and a width equal to the sum of their depths, unites the two side members, its sides being slidably disposed one in each of the slots, and being prevented from removal therefrom by lips 72 which co-operate with the corresponding elongated tabs 46 and 60 in the arcuate slots these also limit the extent of opening of the hinge. The side members are biased into a closed or open position by arcuate springs 80, adjacent to each end of the hinge, which springs act as an over-centre linkage, the spring ends being maximally apart one from the other when the hinge is in a half open position.

Title: Improvements relating to the treatment of starch-bearing materials for the production of dextrinised material particularly for use in the baking trade
IPC: A23L19/15
Filed: 1937-03-03
Abstract: A product having yeast-activating and flour-improving properties is obtained by cooking starch material, e.g. potatoes, to gelatinize at least partly the starch and subjecting a wet mixture of the cooked material and an edible acid salt to an elevated temperature to dextrinize at least partly the starch, and drying the mixture, e.g. by spray-drying or drying on a drum.  In the example given, potatoes are steamed or boiled to cook them thoroughly and partially gelatinize the starch, e.g. in a cooker which delivers the cooked potatoes to a peeler.  7 parts by weight of the potatoes are next mixed with one part of a mixture of 62 per cent of mono-calcium phosphate, 10 per cent of calcium sulphate, 8 per cent of ammonium chloride and 20 per cent of sodium chloride, the salt mixture being dissolved in a small quantity of water.  The mixture is reduced to a smooth paste or liquid, according to the water content by thorough mixing at about 160-200 DEG  F.  For spray-drying the mixture is prepared in semi-liquid form and sprayed by a homogenizing atomizer downwardly into a stream of hot air delivered to the drying chamber at 400-500 DEG  F., the starch in the product obtained being partially dextrinized.ALSO:A product having yeast-activating and flour-improving properties is obtained by cooking starchy material, e.g. potatoes, to gelatinize at least partly the starch and subjecting a wet mixture of the cooked material and an edible acid salt to an elevated temperature to dextrinize at least partly the starch, and drying the mixture, e.g. by spray drying or drying on a drum.
