Abstract: 414,936. Handcuffs &c. ; hinges. KOKAY, (nÚe TUBITS), J., Dumbovar, Hungary. Nov. 17, 1933, No. 32138. [Classes 44 and 65 (ii).] In a fetter or handcuff, the two cuffs are pivoted together by a pin f carrying a spring j which urges them into the normal position of use in one plane, suitable abutments preventing movement beyond this position. Each cuff is formed by two parts pivoted together and consisting of an arcuate member c having circular recesses d which enters between two arcuate members b, b<1> and is retained by a catch. In the form shown in Fig. 3, the catch consists of the down-turned end m<1> of an L-shaped spring m secured to the part bl and enclosed within flanges x formed on the end of the parts b, b<1>. The cuff is unfastened by a flat key o, Fig. 12, which passes through a slot h in the flanges x and a U-shaped guide n so that its bevelled end engages with the underside of the spring m to disengage the end m<1>. The key is slotted to pass transverse pins s in the guide n. In a slightly modified form, Fig. 12, the catch consists of a tongue m<1> bent out of a disc 1 carried by a spring m fixed to the arcuate member b<1> ; the disc 1 and the extension 3 thereof by which it is secured to the spring m is housed in a recess in the other arcuate member b to relieve the spring from strain. When not in use, the cuffs are folded so as to lie one against the other and are retained in this position by a hook-like member pivoted on one cuff and embracing the other. In another form, Figs. 6, 8 and 10, the circular recesses d are formed in the edge instead of the face of the part c and are engaged by a spring-pressed sliding latch 14 which is withdrawn by a key 18 co-operating with a depending arm 17, a pin 20 limiting the turning of the key. The cuffs are provided with extensions 4, 5 connected together by the pin f, the extension 5 being rigid with one cuff and the extension 4 being rotatably connected to the other cuff by a pin 6. The cuffs are held one against the other when not in use by the edge 10 of a spring 8 on the extension 5 engaging with a lug 12 on the extension 4. The spring is disengaged to release the cuffs by a transverse pin 11 engaging with the spring when the pin f is turned by a handle f<1>.

Title: Improvements in the manufacture of chocolate couvertures
Inventor: SPICER ARNOLD
IPC: A23G1/30
Filed: 1955-11-10
Abstract: Chocolate converture is made by mixing all the necessary cocoa and sugar together with part of the fat required to make a basic mixture and producing separately a finely-divided free fat powder with the remainder of the fat, either the basic mixture or the free fat powder or both containing an emulsifying agent, the basic mixture and free fat powder being then mixed together at a temperature below the melting-point of the free fat.  Preferably there is 33 to 40 per cent by weight of fat in the final mixture, 1/3 to 1/2 being added as free fat powder.  A mixture is made of cocoa powder, sugar and fat, the fat forming 16 to 20 per cent of the mixture and being cocoa butter or hydrogenated hardened fat with or without lecithin, blood plasma or the like with or without milk powder or milk.  The free fat powder is obtained by melting the fat and passing the hot liquid over chilled rollers, lecithin or blood plasma being mixed into the melted fat before it is solidified.  The basic mixture and free fat powder are mixed in a cooled mixer and the final composition contains 33 to 40 per cent of fat.  An example is given of a milk chocolate converture in which part of the cocoa is replaced by milk solids. The fats used may be hardened palm kernel oil, groundnut fat, coconut oil or whale oil.

Title: Improvements in or relating to photographic set-up machines
Inventor: LEMCHE JOHAN HENRIK
IPC: B41B15/06
Filed: 1959-09-22
Abstract: 946,755. Photographic set-up machines. CARTOPRINT A.S. Sept. 19, 1960 [Sept. 22, 1959], No. 32274/59. Heading B6W. A photographic set-up machine wherein prepared columns of text matter are optically projected in succession on to a photo-sensitive surface which is advanced between projections by amounts giving the required spacing between the images of the column of text matter, includes means for adjusting the amount of movement of the photo-sensitive surface between the column projections so as to vary the spacing of the images. As shown, cards 9 of type-matter assembled in columns are supported on the faces of a polygonal carrier drum 1 by means of permanent magnets 11 in said drum and metal strips 8. By means of a control mechanism (not described here in detail) the various faces of the drum are presented in succession before a lens 4 and a lamp 10 for projection of the columns of type matter on to a photographic film 5 in predetermined spaced relation one with the other so as to obtain a record from which a printing plate for a page of print may be prepared. The cycle of operation is as follows: On depression of a switch 27, a pressure frame 19-23 for holding the cards 9 flat is pivoted away from a first face of the drum and the drum is rotated until a second face lies opposite the lens 4, whereupon said frame is pivoted back into its card-engaging position. A shutter associated with the lens 4 is then opened for a period determined by a timer 33 to effect exposure of the film 5 between masks 53 and 54 after which exposure the filmfeed motor 35 is actuated. At the same time a metering roller 37 coupled to a potentiometer 43 is pivoted into frictional engagement with the film on a take-up spool 7 and film-feed continues until the output of the potentiometer 43 is balanced against the output of a pre-set potentiometer 44. After the film-feed has ended, roller 37 is moved away from spool 7, whereupon said roller re-sets itself under the action of a clock spring 50, and switch 27 may be actuated for re-commencement of the above cycle. The extent of successive film-feeds and hence the spacing between adjacent column and between the end columns and the edges of the page is determined in turn by potentiometers 47-49, and the number of cycles in a particular series (or columns per page) is determined by pre-setting switch 45. Specification 946,757 is referred to.

Title: Improvements in sewing machines
IPC: D05B57/00
Filed: 1933-11-21
Abstract: 416,619. Sewing-machines. FAIRWEATHER, W. C., 65, Chancery Lane, London.-(Singer Manufacturing Co. ; Elizabeth, New Jersey, U.S.A.) Nov. 21, 1933, No. 32437. [Class 112.] In a zig-zag stitching machine, the vibratory needle bar gate is connected to a pitman pivoted at one end to a bracket arm and at the other to a yoke engaging a cam, the pitman being guided by an angularly adjustable guide-head. The vibrating mechanism may be rendered inoperative to effect ordinary stitching. To convert the otherwise idle laterally vibratory movement of the pitman 34, imparted by the cam 40, into effective endwise movements to impart swing- ing movements to the needle bar gate 21, a guide roller 48 is secured thereon, near the yoke 35. The roller 48 moves in an arcuate guideway 49 in the head 50. This head has a hub 52 passing through an aperture 53 in the cavity 51. The guide head abuts against the end of a bearing 56 for the adjusting shaft 55 which carries a hand lever 58 with a graduated segmental flange 59 co-operating with a pointer 60. The throw of the hand lever 58 is limited in the direction by a stop screw 61 which locates the guide head 50 in its zero position, i.e. the position in which the curved guideway 49 is concentric with the pivot screw 33, so that the pitman performs idle lateral vibrations and does not swing the needle, gate. As the hand lever is moved, the guide head 50 is angularly adjusted so that the travel of the guide roller 48 in the guideway 49 effects endwise reciprocation of the pitman and causes lateral vibration of the needle gate.
