Title: Label numbering system for articles - each number disc has cam disc operated by plunger changing state by one
Inventor: LEININGER CHARLES
IPC: B41K3/10
Filed: 1975-01-24
Abstract: A mechanical printing head for use with labels provides a consecutive number series, increasing by a value of 1 each time the input actuator is operated. Discs (11-16) are freely mounted on a shaft (2) and are capable of independent rotational motion. Located between each disc is a multilobe cam plate (42-46). Each disc has the numbers 0-9 formed on the periphery. A number of spring biased cam followers are located on a common shaft.

Title: Aeration tank for purification of waste water - uses submerged aerating impellers with piped supply of surface air
IPC: C02F3/16
Filed: 1975-10-20
Abstract: A plant installation for the purificn. of waste water by a multi-stage treatment which includes aeration. Waste water is delivered centrally into a vertical, cylindrical aeration tank which is surmounted by a horizontal, radial bridge structure. The bridge is rotatable about a bearing centred on the vertical axis of the tank and an outer end of the bridge the bridges carries at least one submerged aerating rotor suspended on a vertical axis. The tank is encircled by a concentric decanting channel into which liq. flows from the tank via radial transfer holes. The decanting channel overflows into an outlet passage while settled sludge is pumped back into the tank from the channel.

Title: Electro-optical measuring of AC - uses tapping system, electroluminescent diode, light conductor and electronic components to detect AC in HT line
Inventor: DAVILA CLAUDE
IPC: G01R15/22
Filed: 1976-05-18
Abstract: The measurement device is for the determination of a.c. in a high voltage line. A tapping system (4) near the line (2) provides an alternating electrical signal which is proportional to the current flowing in the line, the sense of this signal corresponding to the direction of the current. An electroluminescent system receives this electrical signal and emits a luminous flux representative of it. A light transmission system, based on fibre optics, receives the light flux near the line and transmits it to a point remote from the line. A light receiver system receives this luminous flux and provides an electrical signal representative of its value. A direct current generator (14, 16, 18) is placed near the line (2). The electroluminescent system comprises an electroluminescent diode (6) which is supplied by the alternating electrical signal and also by a direct current which flows in the forward direction for the diode and is provided by the direct current generator. Thus the diode's light flux output has both steady and alternating components.

Title: Bailing control for inflatable liferaft - has folding bailer linked to venting pipe with two non return valves
IPC: B63B13/00
Filed: 1976-06-03
Abstract: The inflatable rescue raft has a folding bailer on the floor, the bailer covered by two flexible flaps (18). To remove any water, the bailer is lifted up by its self erecting funnel (12) with any water trapped in the funnel being forced down through two non return valves (14, 15) into the outside water. Repeated operation effectively clears the raft. The occupants of the raft do not have to open its canopy to clear the water and can thus stay warm. The bailer can be fitted to any type of inflatable raft.

Title: Horticultural plant cutting system - employing high velocity directional jet of water or airborne sand
IPC: A01B41/00
Filed: 1976-06-03
Abstract: A selective system of cutting plants or parts of plants includes using a supply of air or water from a compressor or a pump (3), the latter drawing its supply from a tank (1, 2). This flows along a tube (4) and is ejected through a nozzle (5a) as a high velocity jet, constant or variable in section. The material rebounds from the surface of a guard (5b) forming a closed channel and can be recycled, if required. This guard is attached to the nozzle holder assembly (5d) by a curved strip (5c) overhead. If sand is used, this is drawn into the airstream near the nozzle, using the venturi effect. Automatic control can be fitted, using sensors.

Title: Release mechanism for aeroplane load - is for low level operations and has guide fixed to aircraft floor attached to parachute canopy
IPC: B64D1/12
Filed: 1976-07-09
Abstract: The load release mechanism consists of a detachable sledge (10) which locates in a guide fixed to the floor of the aircraft's hold and is attached to the parachute canopy.
