Title: Improvements in burner devices for liquid combustibles
IPC: F21V37/00
Filed: 1930-12-22
Abstract: 362,698. Liquid fuel burners. SOC. ANON. LE CARBONE, 37, Rue de Paris, Gennevilliers, Seine, France. Dec. 22, 1930, No. 38588. Convention date, Feb. 18. [Class 75 (i).] A solid body of activated carbon is used to replace the wick or absorbent block in a liquid fuel burner. The Figure shows the use of an activated carbon rod 2 surrounded by a metal tube 1 and surmounted by a chimney 3 which may be perforated. The metal tube 1 and chimney 3 may be adjustable relatively to the rod 2, which may be grooved; to allow the access of additional air. The top of the rod may be mushroom-shaped to facilitate evaporation of the fuel. Activated carbon may also be used in burners in which flameless combustion takes place in the presence of a catalyser and as an absorbent filling for the fuel reservoir. Specification 346,963 is referred to.

Each bar is provided with a helical rib 12, Fig. 2. The bars or rods 11 may be orientated as shown in Fig. 3 or may alternate with blocks 22, Fig. 4, of hardened synthetic plastics foam such as polyvinyl chloride, the rods 11 and the blocks 22 being received in layers of resinimpregnated fibre-glass cloth. In another embodiment a core 31, Figs. 5 and 6, of polyvinyl chloride, for example, has grooves 37 therein which receive bars or rods 35, 38 or circular cross-section which, along with the core 31 are covered by a resin-impregnated fibre-glass cloth 39. The bars are offset and may be positioned so as to prevent the passage of a projectile therebetween.

Abstract: 949,682. Blanks transferring. B. SCHLATTERER. Nov. 10, 1960, No. 38610/60. Heading B3H. A device for feeding workpieces 71 into a press 11, particularly an eccentrically driven press, comprises grippers 70 driven by a carriage 30 which first moves relatively to the grippers and towards the press through a predetermined distance which acting through screw-and-nut mechanism, causes the grippers to close on a workpiece, and then the carriage and grippers move together towards the press; upon the return movement the grippers are first opened and are then moved with the carriage to their initial position. The feed device is adjustably mounted on the press bed and carries a magazine 69 for the workpieces at station a. Carriage 30 is reciprocated along parallel guide rods by a connecting rod 34 attached to a crank-pin on a disc 47. The crank-pin is adjustable radially, Fig. 5 (not shown), for varying the carriage stroke which is indicated on a plate 37. crank disc 47 is driven through a variable-speed belt drive 35, Fig. 5 (not shown), and electromagnetic clutch 52, 54, Fig. 5 (not shown), by and electric motor 36; a brake device is incorporated in the drive. The grippers 70 are adjustably secured to bars 18 mounted for transverse movement on a guide traverse 38. The latter is mounted to slide on the guide rods under restraint of a brake pad 64, Fig. 6 (not shown), and is connected to the carriage 30 by an adjustable lost-motion coupling 32a, 33; during this lost motion which occurs at the beginning of the carriage stroke, the relative movement is converted by a wide pitch screw and nut 28, 31, Fig. 4, into a rotation of a pair of longitudinal shafts which act through pinion and rack mechanisms 26, 27 to produce the transverse movement of the bars 18 for opening and closing the grippers. The nuts 31 are rotatably adjustable in the carriage 30. A longitudinal adjustment 73 for the bars is incorporated with a yielding device and a stop mechanism which operates if the feed encounters an obstruction. Cam-operated contacts, 60, 61, Fig. 2 (not shown), contact engagement and disengagement of the electromagnetic clutch and brake and the starting of the press cycle.

Abstract: 896,738. Television pick-up tubes. ELECTRIC & MUSICAL INDUSTRIES Ltd. Nov. 14, 1958 [Dec. 13, 1957], No. 38728/57. Class 39(1). A cathode-ray tube includes a foraminated target 5 of substantially transparent material having a light-sensitive surface 6 on one side thereof. In operation an optical image is projected through the target on to the lightsensitive surface which is preferably scanned by a low-velocity electron beam. Some of the electrons restore the elemental areas of the surface to an equilibrium potential, preferably the cathode potential, while the remainder are caused to pass though the interstices of the target to form an output beam which may be directed into an electron multiplier in order to generate picture signals. The light-sensitive surface may comprise a mosaic of photoemissive elements, e.g. an antimony or silver mosaic suitably sensitized, or a layer of material exhibiting a photo-voltaic effect. The target is preferably made from a photosensitive glass and may have a transparent conducting coating on its other surface to replace electrode 14 which draws electrons through the interstices of the target. Electrode 8 serves as an ion trap mesh while electrode 9 serves as a stabilizing mesh and may also constitute a common electrode for the capacities of the mosaic elements. Instead of employing electrodes 16, 17 as an electron mirror to direct electrons into multiplier 18 a transparent electrode may be disposed in the optical path to the target which can cause reflection of electrons or which is secondary-electron emissive; Specification 469,033 is referred to.

Abstract: 925,499. Calculating apparatus. NATIONAL CASH REGISTER CO. Oct. 31, 1961 [Dec. 15. 1960], No. 38856/61. Class 106 (1). In reading out the contents of a register comprising ten-position switches SR41A to SR54A to a punch non-significant zeroes are eliminated by closing circuits to the punch only on reading the first significant digit. A signal from the punch energizes solenoid K42 over lines 121, 122, thus closing switch K42a11. The switches SR41A to SR54A are then scanned in sequence. Initially, zero signals are conducted over lines 111, 112 and closed switch K40bc1 to programme board 114 which has been plugged to inhibit punching in such a case. The first. non-zero signal passes over channel 117 and one of the lines 131 through the coil K40. The switches K40a2, K40a12 and K40ac1 are closed; the switch K40bc1 opened, The coil K41 is energized and the coils K40, K41 are maintained energized through switches K40a2 and K42a11. The switches K41a1- K41a9 are closed. Subsequent non-zero digits are signalled to the punch over channel 129, zero digits over line 130 when the register scan ends K42 is de-energized and K40, K41 drop out resetting the initial conditions. The number, such as an account number, is entered into register SR41A to SR54A from the keyboard of a calculating machine and simultaneously into register SR41B to SR54B from which it is checked, the completion of a satisfactory check (not described) initiating recording.

As shown the shutter is operable by the piston of a vacuum cylinder 27 which is controlled by solenoid-operated valves under the control of the photo-cell 25. The mask 18 comprises a lateral extension of one end of a strip member 16 which is pivoted at its other end to the movable support cradle 9 of the pan 4. The pan 4 is carried on a shaft 10 journalled in the cradle 9 and carrying an adjustable crank member 21, 22 having an adjustable screw 23 therethrough to abut a flange 17 of the strip 16 whereby, on tilting of the pan 4, with consequential rotation of the shaft 10, the strip 16 is pivoted to mask the light source 24 (positioned b, Fig. 2) even when the pan 4 is in its raised unloaded position. Position a in Fig. 2 shows the mask position when the scale pan is correctly loaded but untilted. The apparatus permits an operator to delay initiation of the weighing cycle until he tilts the weighing pan 4 back into loading position, thereby unmasking the light source 24 and effecting opening of the feed shutter 3.
