Title: Gas taps
Inventor: PRINCE CYRIL RHODES
IPC: F16K5/02
Filed: 1952-12-15
Abstract: 721,657. Valves. RADIATION, Ltd. Oct. 16, 1953 [Dec. 15, 1952], No. 31700/52. Class 135. In a gas tap of the kind comprising a rotary plug d with an axial passage and an axially movable regulator j operable by rotation of the plug for controlling the gas as it passes out through an axial nipple x at the end of the tap casing, the regulator both slides and rotates and its position relative to the outlet is varied by adjustment of a rotatable eccentric pin p which engages in a part-helical groove in the regulator. The actual throttling member u of the regulator is carried on the part j by a yokelike member, and the part j has a tongue-andgroove connection (not shown) with the plug d. The pin p is eccentrically mounted on the end of a radially-directed screw projecting outside the body of the tap, and rotation of the screw moves the regulator towards or away from the outlet and so varies the amount of throttling in relation to the position of the plug. A baffle y is situated in the outlet passage. The plug is held in position by a spring i and the plug stem is in two parts 6, 8 urged apart by a spring 13. Part 8 of the stem carries an operating knob 7 and, before the latter can be rotated, it must be pushed in so that a projection 9 thereon rides out of a locking recess in the tap casing. After rotating the knob it is released and the projection then enters and rides in a wide angled recess in the casing.

Patent GB-817082-A (GB)
Title: Marking device
IPC: B41F17/20
Filed: 1956-10-18
Abstract: 817,082. Printing apparatus. CORNING GLASS WORKS. Oct. 18, 1956 [Oct. 27, 1955], No. 31743/56. Class 100(2) A device for marking information upon articles such as fixed capacitors comprises a marker having a position in which it engages ink within a container, a horizontal shaft having cams thereon for moving the marker upward from that position and thence downward to marking position below the ink container and for returning it via a similar path to its former position, and means including another cam on said shaft for moving the container out of the path of travel of the marker during the marking stroke. The marking elements 14 may apply character-identifying dots to the work or may carry type faces and are resiliently mounted on a support 15 attached to a carriage 30 comprising transverse members 33, 37 and vertical members and which is vertically slidable in the machine frame 11. Vertical reciprocation is effected by the action of the cams 34, 35 attached to the driving shaft 21 on rollers 31, 32 carried by the member 33. Initially the parts are in the position shown in Figs. 1 and 2, the elements 14 being immersed in ink containers 51, 52; When the shaft 21 is rotated, through a single revolution clutch 23, the cams 34, 35 first raise the markers 14 clear of the containers 51, 52, then allow them to descend and pass through a passage 13 to mark an article 16. As the elements are raised from the containers 51, 52 the containers are moved apart laterally to expose the passage 13 which they have been bridging, and are brought together again only when the carriage has reached the highest point of its return journey. This is effected by cams 61, 67 on the shaft 21 which act on bell-cranks 65, whereby shafts 64 are partially rotated and a lateral movement is imparted to the containers 51, 52 through cranks 63 attached to the shafts. As the containers move, the ink therein is agitated by fixed rods 70, 71. In a modification the marking elements are in close proximity for marking small articles and are moved apart for the inking operation.

Title: Trip mechanism
Inventor: ASH FRANK STANLEY
IPC: G07F15/02
Filed: 1963-08-12
Abstract: 1,063,983. Spring trip mechanisms. ASSOCIATED ELECTRICAL INDUSTRIES Ltd. June 29, 1964 [Aug. 12, 1963], No. 31755/63. Heading F2S. A shaft 1 in a repayment mechanism and which is freed for manual rotation on insertion of coinage into the mechanism to provide a given supply of electricity to a consumer is also used to actuate a trip mechanism for an electrical supply switch leading to the consumer's apparatus. A second shaft 11, for operating the switch, not shown, passes freely throu h the shaft 1 which is rotatably mounted in a casing end plate 2, and has, fast on its outer end, a switch actuating arm 5, a spring 4 wound on the shaft 1 coupling the arm 5 to a trigger actuating arm 3 fast on the shaft 1. A trigger plate 7 is also mounted friction-tight on the end plate 2. When the shaft 1 is rotated anticlockwise from the inoperative position, Fig. 1, it carries the trigger and switch-actuating arms 3, 5 with it until, after approximately a quarter of a revolution, when a roller 6 on the arm 5 abuts an offset tongue 8 of the trigger plate 7 so that the arm 5 is restrained against further rotation with the shaft 1, Fig. 3 (not shown). Further anti-clockwise rotation of the shaft 1 causes the spring 4 to be wound up until an offset tongue 9 on the trigger actuating arm 3 abuts another tongue 10 on the trigger plate 7 to move the tongue 8 out of engagement with the roller 6 on the arm 5. The spring 4 then swiftly moves the arm 5 to rotate the shaft 11 and actuate the switch. Further rotation of the shaft 1 causes an end 12 of the arm 3 to rock the trigger plate back to its initial position. A spring 14 on the shaft 1 prevents clockwise rotation of the latter.

Patent GB-749552-A (GB)
Title: An improved carburettor for internal combustion engines
IPC: F02M1/00
Filed: 1953-11-20
Abstract: 749,552. Carburetters. MASSAROTTI, M. Nov. 20, 1953 [Dec. 1, 1952], No. 32281/53. Class 7(3) In a carburetter having a suction conduit open at one end to atmosphere and at the other end to a throttle passage and a liquid fuel outlet nozzle disposed in the suction conduit the inlet and outlet ends of the suction conduit are of greater diameter than the central portion of the conduit and the nozzle is located within the central minimum diameter portion facing the inlet end of the conduit, the rate of flow of fuel through the nozzle being determined by a valve which is under the control of a deformable diaphragm subjected to the depression created in the suction conduit by the engine. As shown there are two inlet passages 1 intended to be fitted with an air filter not shown and four conduits 2 (two only of which are shown), and each leadings to a cylinder of the engine. Fuel from a pump (not shown), e.g. of diaphram type enters by way of a passage 9 and flows past a valve 10 to passages 7. Each passage 7 leads by way of an external conduit 6 to a passage 5 associated with two fuel nozzles 4. The valve 10 is controlled by engine suction which acts on the underside of a diaphram 14. A suction operated valve 36 (see also Fig. 3), controls the supply of fuel for idling. The valve co-operates with two seats and .in its right hand position prevents flow of fuel from a passage 38 into a chamber 37 and in its left hand position cuts off communication between the chamber 37 and a space 32. Thus at normal engine speed a spring 39 holds the valve in its left hand position but when the throttle valves 25 are in their idling position the high suction acts to hold the valve in an intermediate position so that idling fuel can flow from the passage 38 past the valve to the space 32 and - from there to idling fuel delivery passages 29. During high speed operation with the throttle valves in the idle running position the suction is sufficiently high to move the valve to the right to shut off the passage 38 from the chamber 37. The load of the valve spring 39 is preferably adjustable. The fuel flow through the conduit 38 may be regulated by means of a valve (not shown). A restricted. passage 35 or a check valve is provided between the space beneath the diaphram' 14 and the space 32. A substantially rectilinear fuel spirit is obtained.

Title: New metalliferous monoazo-dyestuffs containing halogentriazine residues and their manufacture and use
IPC: C09B62/095
Filed: 1958-10-10
Abstract: The invention comprises metallised monoazo dyes containing one atom of chromium or cobalt bound in complex union to two monoazo dye molecules which contain at least two sulphonic acid groups and are of formula <FORM:0896675/IV (c)/1> wherein X is a chlorine atom or nitro group, R is a benzene residue bound to the azo group in o-position to the hydroxyl group and R1 is a benzene residue which preferably contains a sulphonic acid group and contains a halogenated 1 : 3 : 5-triazinylamino group.  The halotriazine residue may contain two halogen atoms or one halogen atom and, as substituents on the remaining carbon atom of the triazine ring, an etherified hydroxyl or mercapto group or an unsubstituted or secondary or tertiary amino group.  The dyes are prepared by condensing a 1 : 2-chromium or cobalt complex of an aminoazo dye of the above formula, but wherein R1 is substituted by a primary or secondary amino group, with a trihalo-triazine and, if desired, with an organic hydroxyl or mercapto compound, ammonia or a primary or secondary amine, in any order.  The dyes may be used to dye superpolyamide fibre, wool, silk or leather, but especially cellulose in the presence of an acid-binding agent in blue shades. In an example the 1 : 2-chromium complex of the monoazo dye 5-nitro-2-aminophenol-->2-(41-aminophenyl) -amino-5-naphthol-7 : 31-disulphonic acid is prepared and condensed with cyanuric chloride.  Many further examples are specified. Specifications 797,946, 838,337, 847,635 and 870,985 are referred to.

Abstract: 1,004,865. Laying road marking lines. G. EIGENMANN. Sept. 11, 1961 [Sept. 10, 1960 (4)], No. 32504/61. Heading E1G. Apparatus for laying plastic strip road marking lines comprises a vehicle having road surface cleaning means, means for applying adhesive to a stock of plastic strip or to the road surface and means for pressing the strip on to the road surface. The road surface 10 is cleaned by brushing means 20 which may include two power-driven brushes followed by fluid from jets 21 dried by squeegee rollers and/or hot gas jets 22. Adhesive is sprayed on to the road by jets 23. Plastic strip from a roll 25 passes through a heating section 27, where heat from drums 30 is transferred to the strip by endless bands 29, to adhesive applying apparatus 28, thence through a further heating section 32 to increase the viscosity of the adhesive to contact the road at 24 where the strip is held in contact by an endless band pressure device 35. If an intermittent line is to be laid the strip passes through a moving roller system 36 to compensate for intermittent motion produced by a claw and shear apparatus 34 feeding the strip in spaced sections. The pressure band 35 may pass means for cleaning the outer surface by washing and brushing and means for applying a release agent. In a simplified form the pressure may be produced by a flexible surfaced roller or by a pressure roller actuated in a rearward direction by a fluid pressure jack. In a simplified embodiment, Fig. 18, strip from a reel 40 is fed by a friction roller 120 and slack compensating roller 121 to rotating shears 122, 123, which sever determined lengths, thence by adhesive applying roller 125 and driving roller 127 to a resilient surfaced applying roller 124. In another embodiment for applying short lengths, Fig. 17, strip from a reel 280 constantly rotated by a friction roller 281 passes a take-up roller system 285 to nip rollers 283 driven through a Geneva mechanism 284. The strip passes to a cutting mechanism 287, the individual pieces being fed to an applying wheel 291 by a cam-operated roller 289, the wheel 291 being divided into sectors 292 alternately in connection with a suction pipe 294 and pressure pipe 295 to hold the pieces 288 to the wheel and then press them on the road surface. Separate strips or shaped pieces may be applied by apparatus, as shown in Fig. 9, in which the pieces 71 are applied from a container 72 moved vertically by differential action of two rail sections 75, 77, the container moving backwards as the vehicle moves forwards.
