Title: Opening shock inhibitor for parachutes
Inventor: SNYDER STEPHEN LOUIS
IPC: A41G3/00
Filed: 1969-06-05
Abstract: 1,274,713. Parachutes. S. L. SNYDER. 5 June, 1969 [15 Oct., 1968], No. 28585/69. Heading B7G. Gradual opening of a parachute 12, Fig. 2, is achieved by progressive unwinding of a spirally wrapped band 34. As shown in Fig. 5, the band 34 and adjacent turns of the spiral trap load lines 14 of the main parachute canopy (which is of parawing type with a central keel 20, Fig. 4), together with a portion of the canopy itself. The outer end of the band 34 is released by pulling a Velcro (Registered Trade Mark) fastener panel 46, Fig. 7, from similar panels 42, 44 on the band. Such release is effected by a line 48 extending via guide rings 52, Fig. 4, to an anchor 50 whose displacement exerts a pull on line 48 which causes panel 46 to be released, allowing the band to unwind. In a modification the band is held in its wound condition by a rubber hoop passed therearound and around a further portion of the load lines located adjacent thereto by a serpentine configuration of the lines, the hoop being released by the pull of the supported load on the lines. In another version the band is replaced by an elongated section 62, Fig. 15, of a panel 60 secured to a canopy 12<SP>1</SP> and originally forming an enclosed sleeve therearound held in position by stowage of the load-lines between rubber loops 72, 64 (Fig. 12, not shown), adjacent the free edges of the panel, the loops 64 passing through reinforced holes (68) near the loops (72). The load lines are released from the bands 64, 72 by downward tension, allowing panel opening when the section 62 unwinds. More than one reefer strap may be used; the straps may be of different lengths to ensure staged release of the canopy. As applied to a parachute of hemispherical type 80, Fig. 16, progressive release of the canopy 78 consequent on seriation release of the radially spaced straps 88, 86, 92 causes a holding clip 94 to be released from strap 90, so that the load lines 82 can fully deploy.

IPC: A61B17/72
Filed: 1957-09-11
Abstract: 817,525. Fracture fixation appliances. SOC. MAISON DRAPIER VAN STEENBRUGGHE ET BRETON SUCCESSEURS A.R.L. Sept. 11, 1957 [Oct. 5, 1956], No. 28647/57. Class 81 (2). A peg for pinning together fractured parts of a long bone through the medullary canal comprises a pin support 2 with a groove 3 in which a slidable key 4 is entered after the support 2 is positioned in the bone. The pin support 2 is driven into the medullary canal 1 of a long bone. A blade 4, one edge of which fits the groove 3 is then driven into the groove 3, the edge of the blade remote from the groove biting into the bone and pressing the pin support against the bone so that relative rotation between the done fragments is prevented. The blade may be enlarged at one end to correspond to the shape of the medullary canal and may have an overlapping head which bears against the bone exterior when the device is in position.

Title: Improvements in or relating to the distillation of materials containing hydrocarbons
IPC: C10B55/02
Filed: 1933-10-19
Abstract: In a continuous process for the distillation at substantially atmospheric pressure of a mixture of finely powdered coal and coal-oil in an inclined cylindrical rotating retort externally heated to above 500 DEG  C., e.g. as described in Specification 393,602, the volatile products of the distillation are fractionated and the higher boiling fraction is mixed with a viscosity reducing oil prior to employment in the preparation of a further mixture of coal and oil for distillation.  The term coal-oil indicates an oil obtained by the distillation of coal or by the distillation of a mixture of coal and oil.  The viscosity reducing oil is preferably a creosote, and the coal/oil mixture is preferably pre-heated before introduction into the retort.  A mixture of equal amount of coking and non-coking coal is ground until 75 per cent passes a 200 mesh I.M.M. sieve and is then mixed with an equal weight of coal oil.  The mixture is distilled in apparatus of the type described in Specification 393,601 at a temperature above 500 DEG  C.  The distillate is fractionated and the higher boiling fraction is mixed with sufficient creosote to bring the viscosity of the mixture down to that of the original coal-oil, viz. 40--50 seconds (Redwood) at 100 DEG  C.  The mixture is then used to mix with coal for further distillation.

[Class 38(v)] A circuit-breaker comprises toggle links 5, 5a pivoted at 10 to an operating member 11 and at 7 to a contact actuating lever 9, both links being biassed by a spring 8 and a further spring (not shown), acting on the pivot 10. The link 5a is extended beyond the toggle joint 6 to form a lever 4 having its end engaging a guide slot 3 in a pivoted lever 2 normally retained set by an electromagnetically operated latch 1. Fig. 1 shows the circuit-breaker mechanism in the " closed " position in which the mechanism is restrained from movement under the bias of the springs by the latch 1 holding the lever 2 so as to prevent the movement of the toggle joint 6 and the collapse of the toggle 5, 5a. On overload, the latch 1 is turned, allowing the lever 2 and joint 6 to move to the left under the bias of the spring 8 which also turns the lever 9 clockwise to open the contacts (not shown). The spring acting on the pivot 10 is now able to turn the member 11 clockwise to the " off " position, Fig. 3, and in straightening the toggle moves the lever 2 back to its initial position so that the latch 1 can reset. The circuit-breaker can now be re-closed by turning the member 11 anticlockwise.

[Class 136 (ii)] In a coaster hub, the " driver " or member which actuates the brake applying mechanism on back-pedalling is held in the braking position by a locking-device, which may be operated by hand or automatically, in order to avoid fatigue when a prolonged application of the brake is required. In the form shown in Fig. 1, the usual driver a for driving the hub on forward rotation and for expanding the brake on back-pedalling is hollowed out to receive a conical locking-member g, which is prevented from rotating by a pin h passing through a slot in the axle d and is adapted to be brought into locking engagement with the driver a by means of a sliding rod i, which is actuated against the pressure of a spring j by a chain i<1> and a hand-lever &c., on the handle-bar, &c. In the form shown in Fig. 2, the locking-cone g is actuated automatically on back-pedalling by a screw pin m, which has a head held against the cross-pin h<1> by a spring o and is screwed into a block l slidable in a slot in the axle and provided with an annular member k, which bears against the usual screw-operated clutch and brake-expanding sleeve b under the action of a spring n. The screw connection between the parts m, l permits adjustment after wear. The connection between the block l and the member k may be releasable, as by a bayonet joint.
