Title: Manual apparatus for applying closure clips about the gathered end of casings, bags ad like containers
IPC: A22C11/12
Filed: 1965-04-02
Abstract: 1,089,382. Closing bag and casing ends. RHEEM MANUFACTURING CO. April 2, 1965 [May 14, 1964], No. 14117/65. Heading B8C. A manual apparatus for fastening a clip around a gathered bag or casing end, comprises an upwardly extending standard, a track adapted to receive a U-shaped clip, a die at the bottom of the track, a punch carrying a rack at its upper end, being driven along the track by pinion means supported on the standard, to compress the clip against the die. The casing end is introduced via a throat 5 and passage 6 to the die 7. The track 18, into which the clips 14 are fed from a magazine 22, receives the punch 34 secured to the rack 36 meshed with a pinion 40. The pinion is driven by a weighted arm 46, which, when moved to an upwardly vertical position from its Fig. 1 position and allowed to fall under gravity, drives the punch down, detaching a clip from the magazine, and deforming it against the die face about the casing end. A bumper 50, e.g. of brake lining material, minimizes noise, and bounce of the arm 46. The fastened casing end is removable from the die face by pulling transversely of the track end, a guard plate 52, fixed to die support 3 by screws 53 carrying springs, being forced outwardly. The track 18 and magazine 22 are angularly displaced from the plane of the die support 3 to permit one leg of a clip to enter each of two channels on the die face so that the clip is deformed helically about the article.

Title: Improvements in or relating to methods of washing raw wool
IPC: D01B3/08
Filed: 1952-06-09
Abstract: <PICT:0705805/III/1> Raw wool is washed with organic solvents by continuously passing the wool through a series of washing vats and continuously leading the washing agent from vat to vat in opposite direction to the movement of the wool therethrough and from the first vat back to the last one in the series, the washing agent when passing from at least one vat to another being conducted through a purifying device from which part of the washing agent is returned to the same vat from which it was discharged, and part of it to the vat next preceding it, or to the last vat in the case of the washing agent from the first vat, these partial flows of washing agent being in a purer condition as regards the content of sludge or wool grease than the washing agent in the vat to which the partial flow is returned.  In the plant shown, the raw wool is fed by a conveyer 1 into a washing vat 2 passes out of this between cylinders 3 to the next vat 4 and leaves the system when being discharged from a third vat 5.  Kerosene or other hydrocarbons with a low content of aromatic compounds may be used.  A sludgy washing agent is discharged from the vat 2 through a pipe 6 to a nozzle centrifuge 7 to be divided into components of low sludge content respectively.  The former is returned through a pipe 8 to the same vat 2, the purified washing agent besprinkling the wool leaving the vat.  The latter is discharged through a pipe 10 to a cistern 11 which contains the final used washing agent which is then treated in a purifying plant 13. Here the liquor is heated to dissolve the solid wool grease, centrifuged to remove the dirt particles and then distilled to recover the purified washing agent and pure wool grease.  The purified washing agent, with fresh washing agent if desired, is then led through a pipe 1411 to the vat 5, preferably besprinkling the wool leaving the vat.  The vats 4 and 5 are similarly provided with re-circulating systems 61 to 81 and 611 to 811 and with pipes 14 and 141 for returning washing agent of higher sludge content to the preceding vats in each case.  In a modification, all the centrifuges are self-opening sludge centrifuges.  The volume of washing agent in a vat is maintained at most 5 times as large as the volume of wool present in the vat.

Abstract: 1,268,923. Loud-speakers. D. H. McBEAN. 12 March, 1970 [19 March, 1969], No. 14521/69. Heading H4J.  A loud-speaker has an inner diaphragm 4 driven in response to low-frequency signals by a moving coil assembly 2, 3 and an outer diaphragm 5 driven electrostatically relative to the inner diaphragm in response to high-frequency signals. Both diaphragms are of metal and are spaced by radial strips of polystyrene or other plastics material. The driving current for the coil 3 may be fed through the inner diaphragm via a connection 8. Fig. 4 shows a circuit for producing from a composite signal a lowfrequency high current signal and a highfrequency high voltage signal. An incoming signal which may have been picked up by a microphone recorded on a disc or tape and played back is amplified by valve 15. A matching transformer 16 is A.C. coupled to the load resistor via a capacitor 17 and a sliding contact produces a high current output at 18 representing the low-frequency signals received. A high voltage signal corresponding to the received high-frequency component are derived at 19 from the sliding contact and a capacitive coupling to the valve anode. A D.C. bias for this high-frequency output is applied at 7.
