Title: A light-diverting optical element
Inventor: MILNER PETER JAMES
IPC: F21S11/00
Filed: 1997-02-21
Abstract: An optical element (12) has two opposite major faces (13, 14), a first (13) of which, intended to bean incident face in use, is formed with a plurality of cavities (16) which extend partway through the thickness of the body (12) of the element. Flat faces (17, 32) formed either between adjacent cavities (16) or as the bottoms of the cavities, lie parallel to the opposite major face (14) of the elements so that light incident on these surfaces, and within certain range of angles, passes through the elements substantially undeviated to provide a view to an observer. Light entering the cavities (16) is refracted and reflected so as to be diverted into a narrower range of exit angles than incident angles thereby concentrating the light. In use as "daylighting" glazing transmitted light can be concentrated in an upward direction increasing the level of illumination within a room.

Title: A reel formed in a box
Inventor: TAYLOR GEORGE DOUGLAS
IPC: B65H49/32
Filed: 1998-10-01
Abstract: A carrier for a length of cable or other flexible material has a hub 1 and flange means to define a channel within which the coil of the cable is retained. The carrier is formed by a box having six orthogonal faces including first and second opposing, substantially parallel, faces 5, 6 forming the flanges, the hub 1 being connected substantially normally between the first and second faces 5, 6. The remaining third, fourth, fifth and sixth faces are detachable from the first and second faces 5, 6, preferably by tearing at perforations 7, 8 which may be arranged in a circular configuration, so as to provide open access to the coil of the cable. There may be at least one aperture (11, 12 Figure 2) and perforations(32, 33, 34, 35, 36, 37 Figure 2) which allow the one face to tear in to two portions to facilitate manual detachment of the third, fourth, fifth and sixth faces. Preferably the first and second faces 5, 6 have centrally located apertures (11, 12 Figure 2) with slits extending radially from the apertures which define hinged petals (13 Figure 2). The hinged petals are used to attach the hub 1 to the opposing faces of the carrier. There may be first and second tubular members (3 and 4 Figures 4 and 5) to sandwich the hinged petals in place. The hub may be formed from two tubes (Figure 7 and 8) each having a flange and one tube telescopically receivable in the other.

Title: Method of moving horticultural apparatus
Inventor: HARRISON SAMUEL JAMES
IPC: A01G9/14
Filed: 1998-12-16
Abstract: Horticultural apparatus such as, for example, a tray of plants 2a (or 2, fig.1), may be moved from one position to another when there is a second tray 2b blocking it's way, by adjusting the height of the first tray and moving it to the second position using a transportation means, such as a trolley (130, fig.7) Preferably, the height of the first tray 2a is lowered and the trolley pulls the tray 2a partly underneath the second tray 2b. There may be a row of trays, or even two parallel rows of trays. This method allows the trays in each row, and the rows, to be situated closer to each other, thus saving space. The horticultural apparatus may comprise a sheet (14, fig.1) of flexible material supported over a frame to define channels (16, fig.1) in which seeds are planted. The tray may be supported on four legs 50 which are located at positions A, B, C, D (fig. 2) so as not to obstruct the path of the carriage (130, fig. 7) when it is used to move the trays. An accessory such as a cutting apparatus (150, fig. 1) or a cultivator (170, fig.1) may be supported on the frame such that it can move from one end to the other. The carriage device (130, fig.7) is used to move the trays by supporting them on the platform (140, fig. 7) and raising or lowering them using scissor lift arrangement (138, fig. 7) before moving them to the desired location.

Abstract: 11,806. Dawes, R. May 16. Machines for making.-A spinning and twisting machine, especially devised for manufacture of rope, twine, and cordage, comprises a frame 5 carrying a number of spindles 6 and mounted to slide upon rods 4 in the machine frame 1. The frame 5 carries a grooved hub 41 having a swinging blade 44 engaging with a traverse screw 3 driven by worm and bevel gearing from the shaft 2; the hub is normally locked to the frame by a lever 45, but on being released the frame can be moved longitudinally for doffing the bobbins 27. The shaft 2 carries a wheel 9 having toothed rims 10, 11, which gear with pinions 10<a>, 11<a> respectively; the pinions 10<a> are carried by tubular shafts 12 journaled in the frame 1 and in a casing 14 opposite each spindle 6; and the pinions 11<a> are carried by tubular shafts 15 surrounding the shafts 12 and carrying flyers 22. Each shaft 12 carries a peripherally grooved draft drum 20 at its inner end and a smoothing-eye 21 at its outer end. The bobbins 27, mounted on sleeves on the spindles and retained thereon by spring clips 29, are coupled to drums 30 on the sleeves, these drums being dragged by blocks of cork, leather, &c. mounted in heads 35 carried by adjustable and spring - controlled stems 34 mounted in brackets 32 adjacent each spindle. The flyer and grooved drum rotate in the same direction, but the drum rotates somewhat faster than the flyer. The strand to be spun passes through the eye 21, is thereby rounded and smoothed, and then, from the inner end of the shaft 12, passes around a sheave 24 freely mounted on one of the flyer arms, thence one or more times around the draft drum 20, then through an eye fixed on the flyer adjacent to the sheave 24 and finally to the flyer eye 23 and the bobbin which is rotated by the pull of the thread &c. The bobbin may be frictionally rotated.

Abstract: Gear system for opening and closing the lateral discharge door (1) of a hopper wagon, it being possible to actuate the discharge door (1) by means of connecting rods (6) via levers (5) from an actuation shaft (4) mounted approximately in the longitudinal centre of the wagon. The objective of the invention consisted in constructing the gear system in such a way that a secure fit of the discharge door (1) in the region of its lower longitudinal side is ensured using simple means. This objective is achieved in that at least one locking bar (15) is displaceably arranged in the saddle-bottom (3) for each discharge door (1), which locking bar (15) engages, in the closed position of the discharge door (1), around a closing hook (17) on the lower longitudinal side of the discharge door (1). The locking bar (15) can be acted on by the actuation shaft (4) via levers and slide rods (7 to 14). <IMAGE>

Title: Pressure sensor for molded package semiconductor and manufacture thereof
Inventor: ISHIBASHI KIYOSHI
IPC: G01L9/00
Filed: 1992-01-23
Abstract: PURPOSE:To obtain a pressure sensor for a molded-package semiconductor, whose environment resistance is relatively good and manufacturing cost is very low. CONSTITUTION:A pressure sensor element 50 is bonded on a die pad 4. The entire surface of the pressure sensor element 50 is covered with epoxy resin 11. After the perfect packaging, the epoxy resin 11 on a diaphragm part 5 of the pressure sensor element 50 is removed, and the diaphragm part 5 is exposed. The diaphragm part 5 can be exposed without using a special metal mold, into which the resin 11 does not intrude, on the diaphragm part 5. At the time of packaging, a piece of gold wire 8 is sealed. Therefore, environment resistance is excellent, and the manufacturing cost becomes very low.

Title: Method for coiling metallic strip
Inventor: YAMAZAKI TAKAHIRO
IPC: B21C47/24
Filed: 1996-01-24
Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To prevent the looseness at the starting edge part of coiling a metallic strip with a simple means by stopping a reel so that a center angle at the starting edge part of coiling the metallic strip becomes a specific angle range. SOLUTION: At the time of coiling the metallic strip 1 as the coil-state with the rotated coiling reel, the reel is stopped so that the center angle 6 at the starting edge part 2 of coiling the metallic strip 1 positions in the range of 190-260 deg. in the clockwise under setting the reel at twelve o'clock as the reference line to execute the coiling. By this method, the looseness 4 of the starting edge part can be made to <= about 15mm, and this coil can be made to automatically and smoothly charge with a transporting machine without manual aid to an uncoiling reel in the following process line. This coiling method is applied to the metallic strip composed of a low carbon steel having <=0.1wt.% C content and an extra-low carbon steel having <1000ppm carbon content.  By this method, it is easily prevented that the neighborhood at the starting edge part of the coil 1 is loosened and sagging down.
