Title: Improvements in potato and like planting machines
IPC: A01C9/06
Filed: 1923-10-09
Abstract: 214,164. Farmer, C. Oct. 9, 1923. Planting-machines.-In machines in which potatoes &c. are removed from a hopper by two or more sets of rotary arms carrying spikes or needles and passing through adjacent depending extensions of the hopper, the extensions are made of conical form so as to hold the lowest potatoes in central positions, and a single wide funnel-shaped or conical chamber is provided between the conical extensions and the hopper proper so as to insure effective agitation ot the potatoes above or near the upper ends of the conical parts, agitator bars being mounted in front of the spike-carrying bars. Two sets of arms 1 are mounted on an axle 2 driven from one of the travelling wheels by spur gearing. The two sets move in parallel planes, and the arms of one set are staggered relatively to those of the other. The outer ends work in slots 9 between fixed bands or rims 8, and in corresponding slots in the conical depending parts 12 of the hopper 10. Above the cones 12 is a single funnel-shaped chamber 22 the walls of which are inclined at a greater angle than the sides of the cones. Each arm 1 is provided with two needles 13 which pierce a potato as they pass upwards through one of the cones 12. The potatoes are removed from the needles at the entrance to a shoot 14 by pivoted and spring-controlled bars 15 the inclined ends of which engage with a fixed cam 18. The shoot 14 is provided with an adjustable hinged part 20 and forms a continuation of a guard 19.

Abstract: 448,526. Two-stroke engines. KADENACY, M., 120, Rue Lecourbe. Paris. Aug. 31, 1934, No. 25165. [Class 7 (ii)] In an engine in which the mass exit of the exhaust gases from the cylinder is utilized to draw in a fresh charge through an inlet which is only opened when the mass exit occurs, substantially the whole of the exhaust gases is caused to have a substantially closed trajectory or helical motion about the axis of flow. The devices for effecting this are placed sufficiently close to the cylinder that the exhaust gases cannot previously rebound ; they are of substantially the same size as the cylinder capacity and extend the period of time during which the gases act on the static atmosphere. They may comprise (a) an annular chamber 3 arranged between ducts 1, 2 leading from the cylinder and to the atmosphere or a silencer, and a deflecting surface 4 ; (b) peripheral vanes 5 in an expanded part 6 of the exhaust duct ; or (c) a closed chamber 8 from which the gases excape by small orifices 9.

Abstract: 644,978. Changing signs. EQUIPMENT & ENGINEERING CO., Ltd., and FEARON, P. V. Sept. 28, 1948, No. 25233. [Class 3(i)] A detachable roller 1 for a destination indicator is locked within an outer casing 10 by a locking pin 9 engaging a hole 4 in the roller flange when the assembly is removed from the indicator. The roller 1 carries a strip blind and is mounted within the cylindrical casing 10 so that the blind protrudes through a slot. The roller is urged into contact by a spring 5 with pin 9 on one end wall 7 of the casing so that one of a number of apertures 4 in the roller flange can engage the pin to prevent the roller rotating when the casing is removed from the indicator frame for storage. When the casing is positioned in the indicator frame 14 its driving shaft 22 moves the flange out of engagement with the pin. The casing is held in position in the indicator frame 14 by a spring loaded latch 17.

Hoods, - In hoods for road vehicles of the kind in which the hoop sticks are traversed mechanically by extensible members the members consist of Bowden cables. As shown the hoop sticks 6 are erected and stowed away by means of Bowden cables 25, 25a, 26, 26a and a winch 13 mounted under the cowl. The winch comprises two drums geared together and driven by a crank handle 22. The cables, passing through shea,things as shown, are connected to the front hoop sticks. The hoop sticks 6 slide in slotted guide ways 5 by means of double ball feet 10 through which the cables pass. The hoop sticks are interconnected by flexible members 12 and the guide ways 5 are bent down at the rear into a compartment 7. In order to prevent jamming the hoop sticks are caused to traverse the bent portion of the runway 5 en bloc by means of members 37 pivoted on the front locking means 35 and adapted to engage the rear locking means. A cam member 41 by means of its finger 42 engaging a stop 43 releases the member when the hoop sticks reach the horizontal part of the guide way. Alternatively the members 12 may be dispensed with and the hoop sticks connected by metal &c. webbing which is also connected intermediately with a ball member sliding in the guide way.

Title: Improvements in or relating to photographic or cinematographic cameras
IPC: G03B7/085
Filed: 1962-07-04
Abstract: 1,016,864. Photographic and cinematographic cameras. K. VOCKEMHUBER & C. HAUSER. July 4, 1962 [July 7, 1961], No, 25606/62. Heading G2A. In a photographic or cinematographic camera having in the lens aperture a movable diaphragm blade with a tapered opening and at least one cooperating stationary mask, a mirror is arranged on that side of the mask remote from the blade and inclined to the optical axis and supplies light falling on the mark to a viewfinder and/or a photoelectric cell in a circuit including a galvanometer controlling the movable diaphragm blade. As shown a fixed mask member 17 of a diaphragm having a movable blade 6 controlled by a photocell, e.g. receiving scene light separately from that passing through the camera objective, carries an inclined mirror 19 by which an erect viewfinder image is formed for viewing through an eye-lens 16. The viewfinder axis may be brought parallel to the axis of the variofocal camera objective by suitably orienting the mirror 13, and the diaphragm is controlled either by a galvanometer fed by a photo-cell which is separated directed at the scene or, as shown, a second fixed mask may be provided in front of the blade 6 and may carry a further mirror 24 by which light is reflected perpendicular to the plane of the drawing to excite a photo-resistor 26 which energizes a galvanometer coil bearing the movable blade 6. Alternatively in a cinematograph camera (Figs. 7, 8 not shown) the second fixed mask and mirror may be arranged behind the movable blade, the shutter itself being reflective and arranged parallel to the diaphragm so that light is reflected by the closed shutter and the mask mirror to the photo-resistor which forms one branch of a bridge circuit in which currents in the detector arm drive the blade 6 until a balance is achieved. In this arrangement in which the light incident on the phot-cell pulsates since the reflection from the film is less intense than from the shutter, the galvanometer must be sufficiently damped to measure only the average current.

Abstract: 709,831. Luminescent materials. BRITISH THOMSON-HOUSTON CO., Ltd. Nov. 5, 1951 [Nov. 4, 1950], No. 25828/51. Class 39(1) A method of rendering luminescent material containing an activator and produced by precipitation, particularly sulphide of zinc and/or cadmium, comprises heating the material under pressure in a closed vessel in contact with a saturated aqueous solution thereof at a temperature above the boiling point of water at atmospheric pressure to induce recrystallization of the material. The heating may be at 250‹C for 16 hours, or may be between 300‹C and 374‹C or may be at 390‹C with the partial pressure of the water at 100 atmospheres. In one example zinc sulphide in the form of crystals of the order of 200A in size are precipitated, together with about 0.01 per cent by weight of copper or silver activator, from an ammoniacal solution with hydrogen sulphide and heated in water at 300‹C for about 16 hours in a closed vessel, the partial pressure of the water being about 100 atmospheres. The crystals produced are predominantly in the 1Á to 5Á range in size and luminence under 3650A radiation. 10 per cent by weight of cadmium sulphide may be precipitated with the zinc sulphide. The crystals produced by the method are of the cubic form. Specification 496,085, [Group XX], is referred to.
