Abstract: 410,892. Regulating; cylinders; pumps. TRIGGS, W. W., 57, Lincoln's Inn Fields, London.-(General Motors Research Corporation; Detroit, Michigan, U.S.A.) Dec. 14, 1932, No. 35505. [Classes 7 (ii), 7 (iii), and 7 (vi).] A blower 18 supplying mixture from a carburetter 36 to the inlet manifold 33 is formed with a return byepass 37 controlled by a piston valve 38, Fig. 6, acted on by a spring 39 in opposition to the delivery pressure of the blower, the inlet manifold 33 being controlled by a throttle 35. The opposite end of the piston valve is acted on by the pressure on the engine side of the throttle valve 35, which has access thereto by a passage 41 and narrow opening 42. The valve 38 closes on to a stop 40 and is allowed a certain amount of lift 44 before opening the byepass 37. When resting on the stop 40, the valve 38 is open at its outer end to the passage 41 by a larger port 43. The mixture is heated in the blower by supply of water from the cooling system, or of exhaust, to a jacket 45 at the underside of the blower. The combustion chamber is formed of relatively narrow passages 9, 11 joined by a bulbous elbow 10, sparking-plugs being fitted at 13 and 15. The exhaust ports 5 communicate with manifolds 6 at each side of the engine, the upper parts 7 of the manifolds being narrow and fitted with guide baffles between each cylinder, directing the exhaust into the wider and longitudinallyextending lower parts. The blower casing forms one end of the crank case, the gearing for driving the rotors 18 projecting within the crank case. The bearings of the rotor shafts 23, 23a are connected by passages to the suction side of the blower, to prevent leakage of mixture past the bearings into the crank case.

Abstract: 1,240,467. Cartons. VIBIXA Ltd. 25 July, 1968 [2 Aug., 1967], No. 35526/67. Heading B8P. Two flaps 11, 13 at the end of a carton are wider than the corresponding walls 2, 4 so that when the flaps are folded in, their edges press against flaps 10, 12 folded over them to give a sift-proof closure. In erecting the carton, the extra width of the inner flaps 11, 13 cause creases 14, 16 to bulge for an improved closure. The creases 15, 17 joining the flaps 11, 13 to he panels 2, 4 can be curved to allow the flaps 11, 13 to bow and facilitate gluing during carton erection. The creases 43, 44 joining tabs 40, 41 to a glue flap 8 are similarly curved. For thin cardboard, the blank is creased from the outside and for thicker cardboard, it is creased from the inside and each apex of the curved creases (115), (117) is made level with adjacent creases (114, 116) between the side panels (101, 103) and their closure flaps (110, 112), Fig. 4 (not shown). The curved creases can be replaced by straight ones extending only partially across the respective wall panels, either in line with the other end creases, Fig. 6 (not shown) or, for thick cardboard, inside the other creases, Fig. 7 (not shown).
