Title: Guitar support
Inventor: CARMAN ROBERT DELWYN
IPC: G10G5/00
Filed: 1997-03-11
Abstract: A device 1 for supporting a guitar whilst it is being played, comprising: a base member 2, removably attachable 4 to that wall of a guitar's body which is lowermost with the guitar in its normal ready-to-play orientation (figure 2A); and an arm 5, contoured along at least part of its length so as to fit a player's leg. The arm is hingeably attached 6 to the base member, such that the arm is moveable between a "closed" position where it lies substantially parallel to the base member, and an "opened" position where it projects at an angle, preferably an approximate right angle, from the base member. There are also means for restraining the arm (10, 11 figure 5) from hinging beyond a fully-opened position, and preferably a rubber layer 9 on the arm and the base to increase grip. The sizing, shaping and disposition of the arm and the base are such that, with the arm fully-opened, at least part of the contoured surface contacts the player's leg so as to maintain support of the guitar on the player's leg.

Title: Profile cutting apparatus
Inventor: THOMAS DAVID WILLIAM
IPC: B26D5/00
Filed: 1999-09-07
Abstract: A cutting apparatus comprises a machine bed support 1 having a quarter circle profile as seen from above and carrying a workpiece supporting platform 5. The workpiece may be a steel plate 6. The rear of the apparatus has an upstanding post 2 forming a vertical pivot to which is rigidly connected upper and lower arms 3 and 4 which may thus swing in a horizontal plane. A frame 7 is supported on the arms 3 and 4 by rollers R for free movement towards and away from the post 2. The lower limb of frame 7 carries the workpiece cutting device 16 and the upper limb of this frame carries a template following sensor device 8. The sensor device 8 is arranged to follow the required profile defined by a drawing or template on table 10 and this is effected done by control of two drive motors using photo-electric template following means one motor driving a wheel 12 which frictionally engages the template and the other motor controlling the orientation of the wheel 12. The wheel is thus rotated to travel across the surface of the template and controlled directionally so that the template pattern is followed to produce a corresponding tracking movement of the frame 7 and thus the cutting device 16. In this arrangement the wheel 12 directly moves the frame 7 together with the cutting device 16 avoiding complex drives and couplings.

Patent GB-191510846-A (GB)
IPC: F23Q21/00
Abstract: 10,846. Pickett, H. July 27. Valves controlled from a distance.-An -apparatus for lighting and extinguishing gas lamps by raising and lowering the gas-main pressure from and back to the normal once for each operation consists of four sections enclosed in a box. The sections are shown separately in Figs. 1, 2, 3, and 4 respectively and comprise a diaphragm F for operating a main supply valve for the lamp, under the control of a bellows - operated control valve B. Interposed between the diaphragm F and the valve B, there is arranged a selector valve system comprising valves B', B' operated by bellows C<1>, C', a diaphragm valve E, and a hinged selector pallet or valve M. The chambers A, A, A' are in direct connexion with the gas-main. To light the lamp, the pressure is increased ; the bellows C, Fig. 1, then raises the valve B and supplies gas through the passage D, chamber A<3>, Fig. 3, and valve B', to the chamber D', and thence (1) by passage D<3> to the diaphragm F, Fig. 2, to open the gas-supply valve connected to the rod H, and (2) by the passage D' to close the diaphragm valve E over the ports K', K'. The valve G, Fig. 2, simultaneously opens the chamber A' to the port K and the port K', which, however, is closed by the diaphragm valve E. On lowering the gas pressure, the diaphragm valve E opens, and gas passes through the ports K, K', K<3>, K<1> to the chamber L, Fig. 3, and oscillates the selector valve M so as to close the left-hand port N', and also operates the bellows C<1>, C', thereby closing the valve B' and opening the valve B<2> in readiness for the extinguishing operation. To extinguish the lamp, the gas pressure is again raised, whereby the valve B is again opened and supplies the high-pressure gas through the valve B' and (1) through the passage N<1> to the diaphragm F to close the gas-supply valve, and (2) through the port and passage N' into the chamber L, where it reverses the selector valve M in readiness for the next lighting operation. The box enclosing the sections is connected by a pipe to the pilot burner which it supplies, so that when the gas pressure is increased for lighting or extinguishing, the pilot flame is lengthened, which enables the pilot lights to remain lighted and prevents the small explosion usual on extinguishing an atmospheric burner.

Date Sep. 17, 1992.A process is provided which is suitable for the preparation of herbal compositions for the treatment of skin disorders such as eczema and psoriasis. The process comprises preparing an extract or extracts of herbs which provide an anti-inflammatory agent, an adrenocortical stimulant and a cortisol protecting agent by steam distillation and decoction and then treating the extracts to reduce the polysaccharide and/or sugar content. This is achieved by fermentation or enzymic action or by extraction with a solvent having a polarity in the range E DEG  0.4 to 0.95 or by precipitation with an inorganic compound and/or colloid or by a combination of two or more of the above. As a final concentration step, the material is further purified by extraction with a solvent having a polarity in the range mentioned above. The reduction of the sugar/polysaccharide content greatly improves the handling characteristics of the extract which can be dried to a free flowing powder. Tablets and capsules for oral administration can be prepared from the extract and it is also suitable for the preparation of topical compositions.
