Title: Improvements in and connected with odometers
IPC: G01C22/00
Filed: 1925-10-30
Abstract: 265,663. Miller, H. C., and Sumner, G. P. Oct. 30, 1925. Odometers.-An odometer or revolution counter is operated by a rocking arm mounted on a fixed pivot and actuated by a cam. Fig. 1 shows the application to a hub odometer in which the counting mechanism A is mounted on a stationary plate 7 and is surrounded by a rotary casing 1 adapted to be secured to the hub of a vehicle wheel. The spindle 12 of the plate 7 is coupled to the fixed axle of the vehicle by a device B as described in Specification 265,528, and access of oil and dirt to the counting mechanism is prevented by an arrangement of parts as described in Specification 265,527. A disc 4 screwed into the rotary casing 1 carries a cam 15 which engages a roller 18 on an arm mounted on a fixed pivot 17. A second arm 16<a>, Fig. 3, on the pivot 17 carries a pawl 16<b> which actuates the ratchet wheel 23 of the counter train A. The cam 15 is preferably formed as a groove, the cam surfaces being detachable. By changing the segments, the range of the instrument may be varied. The retaining pawl 20 is mounted on an adjustable eccentric boss 21 as described in Specification 265,526, in order that the ratchet wheel 23 may be changed to accommodate different sized road wheels without changing the pawl. Specifications 232,692 and 258,714 are referred to. A modification is described in which the outer casing 1 is stationary and the spindle 12 is caused to rotate and carries the actuating cam.

Title: Arrangements for automatically rendering partly or entirely inoperative the loop former when disturbances occur in circular knitting machines and the like
IPC: D04B9/06
Filed: 1932-10-03
Abstract: 389,031. Knitting-machines. ROGERS, F. H., 181, Queen Victoria Street, London.-(Haaga Ges., Geb.; 42, Boheimstrasse, Stuttgart, Germany.) Oct. 3, 1932, No. 27432. [Class 74 (ii).] Relates to means for operating a stopmotion and rendering the mesh-former inoperative on fracture of yarn. The entire mesh-former being rotated by the needles, should a breakdown occur, the turning moment of the cam disc 10, imparted by means of a projection 28 on it to the lever 7, is increased until the resistance of a ball catch 7b is overcome. The lever 7 is thus turned about its pivot 32 until it strikes the projection 27, also on the cam disc 10, which is then turned sufficiently to throw out the cam of the sinker wheel. The presser-bar 11, Fig. 6 (not shown), also is thrown out and its movement, by intermediate connections, acts on the stop-motion.

Title: Improvements in or relating to separation process and apparatus
IPC: B04B1/08
Filed: 1950-11-13
Abstract: 711,695. Centrifugal separators. SHARPLES CORPORATION. Nov. 13, 1950 [Nov. 19, 1949], No. 27656/50. Class 23 [Also in Group XXVI] A dispersion such as whole milk, rubber latex, or fat in crude glue is separated into a more concentrated and a less concentrated dispersion in a centrifugal separator adapted for full-bowl operation and having a liner, the more concentrated dispersion being, discharged along an axial passage extending the length of the separator and the angular velocity of the discharging dispersion being greater than that of the separator so that clogging of the passage at low temperature is prevented. The separator shown is suitable for separating whole, milk at 40‹F., and has a liner comprising frustro-conical plates 10 having spacers 13 fixed to their upper surfaces. The upper plate 34 of the liner has radial ribs 34a which co-operate with the top of the separator to form passages for the skim milk which is finally discharged through an annular passage 38. The liner is held in the separator by members 14, a key 15 being provided to prevent relative rotation between liner and bowl. Whole milk supplied by a bore 2.9 to a chamber 3,1 passes through holes 21 in the liner, the lower 5-15 per cent. of the liner plates having slots 95 which prevent clogging of the liner by granular particles of milk. The cream passes from the liner to the axial discharge passage 18 which as shown is without obstructions although it may contain obstructions, which do not prevent relative angular movement between the cream and the separator. The cream is removed from the separator through a bore 25 having a diameter of ¢ - <SP>1</SP>/ 5  of the passage 18 which is 2 # in. diameter. In a modification Fig. 3, (not shown) three bars integral with the body of the separator engage slots on the inner edges of the liner, and a small passage on the axis of the separator permits granular particles to pass directly from the chamber 31 to the passage 18. The separator rotates at 6,000 r.p.m. and has an internal diameter of 14 in. and treats 6,000 Ibs. of milk per hour.

Title: Machines for glueing dowel holes
IPC: B27G11/00
Filed: 1964-07-07
Abstract: 1,036,649. Coating apparatus. CORDWALLIS ENGINEERING CO. Ltd. and K. A. WILLIAMS. July 6,1965 [July 7,1964], No. 27985/64. Heading B2B. A machine for applying glue to dowel holes comprises a wiper, means for applying glue to the wiper, means for reciprocating the wiper into and out of the dowel hole to be glued and means for rotating the wiper, at least in the part of its reciprocatory travel in which it is in the dowel hole. In the arrangement shown there are three wipers 11 each attached to a spindle 8 which are reciprocal by piston rod 6 actuated pneumatically from either cylinder 5 and which are rotated by grooves 13 engaging pins 14. Arranged below the wipers 11 is a glue containing tank 17 and there are troughs 26 which are movable from within the tank 17 to a position where they can be contacted by wipers 11 to convey glue to the wipers. In operation a component having dowel holes therein, to which the spacing of the wipers 11 corresponds is clamped in position in front of the machine. From the inoperative position shown, the piston rod 6 is moved forward so that the wipers 11 are moved forward and at the same time rotated, so that they pick up glue from the troughs 26 by a wiping action therewith and proceed to convey the glue into the dowel holes where still rotating they transfer the glue to the inside of the holes. The wipers are then returned to the original position by piston rod 6 and during this return movement the troughs 26 are lowered into tank 17 and recharged with glue. Preferably the movement of the troughs is achieved through a last motion linkage connected to the wiper operating means. The wiper may be adjustable in position and may be slightly tapered rods with or without longitudinal grooves therein but preferably are in the form of helical brushes the bristles of which extend generally perpendicular to the direction of reciprocation.

Patent GB-837941-A (GB)
Title: Preservation of blood cells
Inventor: BERGER CARL
IPC: A01N1/02
Filed: 1958-09-02
Abstract: Blood cells are preserved by freezing them in a non-oxidizing liquid medium which is gaseous at normal temperatures, e.g. nitrogen or argon; the cells are thereby frozen to produce a vitreous or glassy state within the cell body free from large crystalline particles of ice.  The blood cells are quick frozen by being sprayed, by a stream of gas of the same material as the liquid medium, into the liquid medium at a velocity sufficient to cause the cells to pass beneath the surface of the liquid and the frozen cells fall slowly to the bottom of the liquid medium.  The liquid medium is allowed to evaporate slowly to prevent heating up of the cells during storage.
