Title: Autographic register
IPC: B41L5/04
Filed: 1952-10-28
Abstract: 723,713. Autographic registers. STANDARD REGISTER CO. Oct. 28, 1952, No. 27128/52. Class 106 (1). The openings in the casing of an autographic register are fitted with baffles in order to bar access to the duplicate strip and falsification of entries, e.g. by obstructing the carbon impression with a piece of cord. The invention is applied to a register comprising a cover-plate 2 and an underlying writing table 39 hinged at 3 and 10 respectively to a main housing 1, the forms 23 being advanced over the table by means of pin-wheels 20 on a hand-shaft 11 controlled by a back-stop pawl 32. A flutter plate 43 separates the upper and lower form strips, and is pivoted at 42 to arms 41 upstanding from the front of the writing table. A holddown or tear-off bar 29 at the voucher-issuing outlet in the cover normally clamps the leading edge of the upper strip to the table, but is raised by a notched disc 25 when the shaft 11 is turned to advance the strips. Tongues 49 on the flutter plate direct the upper strip through the outlet which, according to the invention, is masked by an arcuate deflector 50 overlying the hold-down bar 29 and reversing the direction of the strip. The edge of the flutter plate is turned over at 54, to form a positive stop to any article inserted past the deflector and between the tongues 49 and hold-down bar 29, whilst upward movement of the hold-down bar is restricted by abutments 58 on the cover-plate 2. The writing aperture in the cover-plate 2 has a depressed marginal portion 60 to obstruct access to the underlying record strip, whilst a further aperture, giving clearance to the supports 41 for the flutter plate 43, is obstructed by a baffle 55 on the flutter plate. Carbon paper from a roll 63 is led transversely across the writing table and clamped by a hinged bar 66 accessible to the operator. The opening for this bar is protected by means of a baffle comprising a flange 67 on the cover which engages a groove 69 in the writing table and forming a channel for the carbon paper.

Title: Apparatus for inspecting machine moulded containers
IPC: B07C5/12
Filed: 1974-06-19
Abstract: 1432120 Inspecting moulded products PLAT MANUFAKTUR AB 19 June 1974 [21 June 1973]  27231/74 Headings G1A G1M and G1S An apparatus for inspecting moulded containers from a plurality of moulds each of which is arranged to mould in a container or identification unique to the mould comprises an inspection station IV including means for reading the mould identifications and transmitting signals related to the read identifications, an inspection station I, II or III including a fault detector for transmitting fault indicating signals, and registering means operable to receive the identification and fault indicating signals and to register which of the moulds is producing faulty articles. Bottles 1 move between an entrance station 5 and an exit station 36 along a slide 6. The bottles are moved in steps along slide 6 to each inspection station I, II, III, IV in turn by means of arms 10 fixed to a reciprocating rod 7 articulated by means of links 8, 9. A bar 13 is moved by a cam mechanism (not shown) towards the bottles during each test period to press the bottles in a direction away from the bar 13. Bar 13 has two rollers 14 at each inspection station which engage the bottles. At station I and II the bottles are pressed against a drive roller 15 and rotated. At stations III and IV the bottles are pressed against a rear support 25. An evaluation means such as a computer 19 is connected to the fault indicating equipment at the inspection stations which provide fault indication signals in pulse or binary form. At stations I, II, light sources 16, 21 and light detectors 17, 22 are provided, and a flaw in the rotating bottle causes a pulse in the output of the associated detector. At station III, a gauge 27 measures both the inner and outer mouth diameters and produces a fault signal if the diameters are outside predefined limits. At station IV a height gauge 30 includes a lamp producing two parallel beams which are detected by two light sensors 31 to determine whether a bottle is of acceptable height, too tall or too short. The computer 19 may receive signals via line 44 from other inspection devices and may reject a bottle by means of an air jet from nozzle 38 at the exit station. A display screen 45 and a printout may be provided. At station IV, the means for reading the mould identifications comprises a source 33 which sends a beam of light down through the bottom of the bottle on to a rotating light sensor 34. Moulded into the bottom of the bottle are a series of lenses which represent the identity of the mould in binary form which is read by sensor 34. The angular position of sensor 34 is also signalled to the computer by means of a pulse generator connected to line 35. In a modified apparatus Fig. 3, (not shown), the bottles are removed from the exit station by band conveyers, and the inspection operations are controlled by means of a timing disc.

Title: Improvements in or relating to thermostatic devices
Inventor: SHERLOCK JOHN EDWARD
IPC: F16K31/68
Filed: 1957-09-03
Abstract: 834,943. Valves. BRITISH THERMOSTAT CO. Ltd. Aug. 27, 1958 [Sept. 3, 1957], No. 27797/57. Addition to 773,593. Class 135. In a thermostatically-controlled gas valve 5 with latching means to lock a rotary plug valve 1 in its closed or open position and having a common manual member for turning the cock and disengaging from the latching means for independent operation to vary the temperature setting of the thermostatic valve, the rotary plug is provided with a forked arm 30 engaging a crank-pin 28 on the manual member, the arm being so shaped that the rotary plug is latched in both positions by abutment of the arm with the manual member. The forked arm is of Geneva cross configuration and when the cock is closed a curved portion of the arm 32 engages an enlarged portion 34 of the operating member 19. To open the cock member 19 is depressed against spring 37 whereby portion 34 is depressed below the plane of the arm 30 and rotation of the member 19 moves an extension 36 of member 19 through a slot in an abutment catch 35 and a crank-pin 28 engages in the slot 29 in the member 30 to rotate the cock to its open position at which point the member 36 leaves the slot in member 35 so that on releasing the operating member 19 the portion 34 is lifted to engage the curved portion 33 of the slotted arm 30 to lock the cock in its open position. Further rotation of member 19 now moves the crank-pin 28 out of the slot 29 and through the screw 17 and push-rod 16 adjusts the position of thermostatic valve seat 6. A bracket 40 is positioned beneath the crank-pin arm 27 and prevents the operating member 19 being depressed and unlatching the open cock. Engagement of the crank 27 with either side of the abutment 35 provides limits to the rotation of the member 19. A thermal bellows 7 acts through a bimetal compensating strip 10 and an overload spring 11 to operate the thermostatic valve 5.

Title: Process for the preparation of halogen compounds of pentavalent antimony
IPC: C01G30/02
Filed: 1966-06-22
Abstract: 1,136,738. Halogen compounds of pentavalent antimony. SHELL INTERNATIONALE RESEARCH MAATSCHAPPIJ N.V. 22 June, 1966 [24 June, 1965], No. 27859/66. Heading C1A. Antimony pentahalides and hexahalogenoantimonic acids are prepared by reacting an antimony trihalide with at least one halogen in the presence of at least substantially anhydrous liquid hydrofluoric acid in a closed vessel. Mixtures of antimony trihalides can be used. When the halogen is chlorine or fluorine, the reaction is preferably carried out at 50-150‹ C. and a halogen partial pressure of 0À1-75 atm. absolute. In one embodiment, antimony trifluoride is reacted with fluorine to produce a solution of hexafluorantimonic acid in the liquid hydrofluoric acid, and after the evaporation of any excess fluorine, hexafluoroantimonic acid and/or antimony pentafluoride are recovered from the solution by freezing out the hexafluorantimonic acid and/or by evaporating off the hydrofluoric acid. In the example, a reaction is filled at - 10‹ C. with SbF 3 , HF, and Cl 2 , the pressure being 3À5 atm. After heating for 30 minutes, the reactor contents, which included HSbF 4 Cl 2 , were at 90‹ C. and a pressure of 42À5 atm. Transhalogenation, according to the equations was effected by releasing the reactor pressure to 15 atm. and stripping the reactor contents with nitrogen, whereby a solution of HSbF 6  was obtained. Variants of this process are also described. The transhalogenation may be discontinued after only one mole of HC1 per mole of HSbF 4 Cl 2  used has been discharged, whereby a solution of HSbF 5 Cl is obtained.
