Title: Improvements relating to a ripple control receiver
IPC: B65D6/16
Filed: 1966-03-01
Abstract: 1,113,194. Selective signalling. ZELLWEGER Ltd. 1 March, 1966 [18 June, 1965], No. 8956/66. Heading G4H. A receiving mechanism for a signalling system of the type in which a start-pulse is followed by a differentially timed pulse, the pulses being superimposed upon the domestic power supply, comprises a solenoid 212, Figs. 2 and 3, which, in response to a start-pulse, unlatches a projection 215 on a lever 228 from a recess 251, thereby energizing a motor 221, via contacts 219, 220 which remain closed for one revolution of a control member 227, and a presettable device 225 on the control member 227 which positions a pair of projections 226, 259 so that the mechanism responds only to the presence or absence of a differentially timed pulse in one of 22 positions, the arrangement being such that as the control member 227 rotates, eventually projection 226 pushes the lever 228 back to its datum position with projection 215 in recess 251, thereby readying the mechanism so that the presence or absence of a pulse in the immediately following pulse period causes the projection 259, which is resilient, either to be pushed upwards by a cam 256 so as to pass over a plate 261, thereby, by means not shown, turning a switch on, or allows the projection 259 to pass unimpeded beneath the plate 261, thereby turning the switch off.

Filed: 1964-03-04
Abstract: 1,106,363. Packaging cigarettes; endless conveyers. K. KÍRBER. 23 March, 1965 [4 March, 1964], No. 9102/64. Headings B8A and B8C. Blocks of cigarettes &c. are assembled from a supply issuing directly from a producing machine and fed to a packaging machine without intermediate storage, the cigarettes being formed into rows and the rows superimposed to form the blocks, the delivery of the rows to form the blocks, the feeding of the blocks to the packaging machine and the operation of that machine, all being dependent on the operation of the means. Cigarettes form a continuous row on an infeed belt 3 and are picked up by a suction head 4 which arranges them into three groups of 7-6-7. A pusher 7 thrusts them into pockets 5 on a conveyer 11 which then advances one pocket length. After initial build-up, each pocket receives in turn 7, 6 and then 7 cigarettes as it moves past the feed position in three steps. This completes a batch of 20 in each pocket. An overhead belt ensures that the batches are pressed down into the pockets, Fig. 2 (not shown). The batches are ejected by a pusher 9 into the packaging machine 8 (not described). A feed device extending the length of six pockets but operating only at every second movement of the conveyer 5 is suggested (not detailed), the pusher ejecting two batches simultaneously or operating at twice the speed of the feeding device.

Sand and water to be classified are fed to the machine via shoot 40. Coarse sand settles in tank 2 from which it is removed by buckets 13. Finer sand flows into channel 4 shaped so that the rate of flow of water slows down and progressively smaller grains of sand are deposited on the floor of this channel. Worm section A returns the coarser fraction of this sand to tank 2 while section C forwards the finer fractions to tank 3 in which the finest sand settles and is removed by buckets 19 Worm section B (Fig. 5), may be constructed so that its blades may be set to drive the sand therebeneath all forwards, all backwards, or some forwards and some backwards in variable proportions.
Patent GB-232219-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in or relating to the manufacture of artificial textile threads from viscose solutions
IPC: D01D7/02
Filed: 1925-04-06
Abstract: To effect a drawing-out of the threads spun from viscose solutions, the threads, after leaving the spinning bath and passing over the delivery roller, are collected in a centrifugal box operating under such conditions that the centrifugal force acting on the threads produces a permanent drawing-out of the length of thread between the delivery roller and the box.  For instance, the spinning-apparatus may be of the usual construction and the parts may have the same relative speeds as those ordinarily adopted, but the centrifugal box may be of increased diameter; with a suitable diameter of the box, hanks of the size required for further treatment, are directly obtained.  Operating in this manner it is advantageous to use as the spinning bath a solution of an acid sulphate containing an excess of free acid.

Title: Binding materials for agglomerating finely divided fuels or other pulverulent matter
IPC: C10L5/14
Filed: 1927-04-04
Abstract: 293,135. Reynard, O., and Tapping, F. F. April 4, 1927. Composition fuel.-A fued binder is made from sulphite cellulose waste liquor and bituminous material such as coal tar pitch, asphaltic pitch or natural bitumen by neutralizing the concentrated liquor with caustic soda or other alkali and forming a paste with very finely divided coal, peat, lignite, etc.; the paste is then incorporated under pressure at a temperature above 100‹ C. with the molten pitch or bitumen. Alternatively, the liquor may be emulsified with crude asphaltic petroleum, heavy fuel oil, or tar oils and the emulsion incorporated in the bitumen. The pitch or asphaltic residue may be fluxed with tar oil, creosote naphthalene or anthracene oil or with crude fuel oil respectively and a combined asphaltpitch binder may be prepared by incorporating the two with an emulsion containing both petroleum and aromatic constituents. Thus sulphite liquor may be emulsified with its own weight of heavy fuel oil and the emulsion used to emulsify half its weight of gasworks tar oil. The resulting emulsion is incorporated under heat and pressure with twice its weight of coal tar pitch and further blended with molten bitumen in any proportion. The Provisional Specification refers also to the briquetting of ores and other minerals. Specification 293,136 is referred to.

Title: Improvements in or relating to vacuum brake apparatus for vehicles
IPC: B60T13/46
Filed: 1927-04-04
Abstract: 291,916. Consolidated Brake & Engineering Co., Ltd., and Rawlings, V. P. April 4, 1927. Fluid-pressure.-Relates to means for effecting the rapid release of vacuum brakes, of the kind in which an electromagnetically operated valve associated with the brake cylinder is adapted to be opened when the brakes are to be released to admit air to the upper chamber of the cylinder. According to the invention the valve is adapted to admit a predetermined quantity of air directly from the atmosphere to the upper chamber. A normally closed valve 7 connected to the core of a solenoid 11 controls communication between the atmosphere and the upper chamber 3 of the brake cylinder 1. The valve is opened when the brakes are to be released by energizing the solenoid by a switch which may be embodied in the driver's valve so that the circuit is made when the valve is in the release position. The circuit is automatically broken when the vacuum has been destroyed to a predetermined degree by means of a diaphragm 13 subject to the pressure in the chamber 3 and that of a spring 15 and controlling a switch 18 having a snap-motion device (not shown) so that its movement is rapid. The reduction of the vacuum in the chamber 3 effected by the opening of the valve 7 may not be sufficient in itself fully to release the brakes but as the driver's valve is at the same time in release position. the exhaustion of the lower chamber of the cylinder will be simultaneously commenced and equalization of pressure above and below the piston will thus be rapidly attained. According to the Provisional Specification the diaphragm may act positively to close the valve 7 against the action of the solenoid or it may do this and also break the circuit of the solenoid; further instead of air being admitted directly from the atmosphere to the upper chamber of the cylinder, it may be admitted from the lower chamber by connecting the core of the solenoid to the usual hand release valve or to a separate valve provided for the purpose.
