Patent GB-994647-A (GB)
Title: Laundry machine
IPC: H02P29/00
Filed: 1962-06-12
Abstract: 994,647. Washing-machines. COOK MACHINERY CO. Inc. June 12,1962 [June 1,1962], No. 22538/62. Heading D1A. [Also in Divisions F4 and H2] A laundry device, e.g. a washing machine or extractor, includes a rotatable basket direct driven by a motor so that the ratio of motor speed is always the same and the direction of basket rotation depends solely upon the direction of motor rotation, and means responsive to the motor speed for varying the electrical power input to the motor. With a single-phase supply, one of the motor windings is in series with phase-shift capacitors, and with a discontinuously variable resistance the tap-off points of which are connected to successive segments of a commutator 44. A tapoff brush 46 is moved along the commutator 44 by means of a pivoted arm in response to the movement of a collar 51 along the motor shaft produced by the centrifugally-actuated elements 49 of a fly-ball actuator 47 on the shaft. Basket rotation may be cyclically reversed by cyclically reversing the motor lead connections. In the case of a washing machine, the resistance values between successive tap-off points of the variable resistance are chosen so that the basket accelerates smoothly (from rest say) to a given speed which it maintains, and so that when the water is drained off after washing and rinsing, the reduced basket moment of inertion results in a gradual acceleration to a higher speed during which any bundles of clothes are shaken out. To accelerate the basket rapidly to spin-drying speeds, a part of the variable resistance is then short-circuited for a time by the automatic timer followed by the short-circuiting of one or more of the capacitors. If the access door is opening during the cycle, the basket is stopped and the timer times out to the end of the cycle without performing the rest of the cycle. The basket has four internal fins at 90 degrees intervals on the side walls, a diametrically opposite pair in the front part of the basket and a similar pair in the gear, giving an improved sliding- tumbling washing action if the basket speed is such that the clothes are held on the walls by centrifugal force until say half way up the side. In the timer, two clock motors of different speeds are provided to give short and long wash cycles for delicate and regular fabrics respectively. In an alternative embodiment, a three-phase supply and motor are used with an autotransformer and no capacitors (Fig. 5, not shown). The autotransformer may be variable tapped in which case the variable resistance can be eliminated also, the wiper 46 being moved along the transformer taps. A drain pump, and a blower providing cooling air for the motor and variable resistance may be driven by the same (subsidiary) motor in which case a solenoid valve is provided in the drain conduit. Three rinses are provided, with hot or warm water, warm water and cold water respectively.

Title: Improvements in and relating to cookers for boiling sugar and the like sweet substances for the production of confectionery
IPC: A23G3/04
Filed: 1951-09-28
Abstract: <PICT:0712420/III/1> <PICT:0712420/III/2> <PICT:0712420/III/3> In apparatus for the continuous boiling of sugar comprising a heater, a vacuum chamber and a receiving vessel connected in series, equal amounts of the boiled sugar are discharged batchwise from the apparatus after a predetermined quantity of sugar has been pumped into the apparatus or after a predetermined time period, by the automatic admission of air into the vacuum chamber and consequent release of the receiving vessel.  Sugar solution is supplied by pump 1, Fig. 4, and piping 2 to coil 3, Fig. 1, which is disposed in steam chamber 5.  The heated solution passes into chamber 4 which is closed at the base by detachable pan 6, and is evacuated through connection 8.  Pan 6 is held by suction against rubber ring 7 disposed around the periphery of chamber 4.  Chamber 4 is connected to cylinder 19 by conduit 17, and the vacuum draws piston 18 up the cylinder, thereby putting spring 25 under tension by means of sprocket chain 20. Vapours evolved from the heated solution in chamber 4 are withdrawn through vacuum connection 8, and the boiled sugar falls into pan 6. Chamber 4 is connected to an air-inlet valve 14, Fig. 4, through piping 15.  Connected through gearing to pump 1 is a ratchet wheel 16 having a single tooth which opens valve 14 through bell-crank lever 26, thus breaking the vacuum in chamber 4 when a certain quantity of solution has been pumped into the apparatus.  Pan 6 and a second pan 9 are carried on a frame 10 which is tiltable about pivot 10a and rotatable about spindle 10b. The frame has a pendulum 11 which is provided at its lower end with guiding rollers 12, 13 which run in a cam way 29, Fig. 2.  As the vacuum is broken, pan 6 is released downwards from chamber 4, and pendulum 11 swings out to the right. Air enters cylinder 19 through conduit 17, and spring 25 pulls piston 18 downwards by chain 20.  Chain 20 turns sprocket wheel 21, and with it (through shaft 22 and bevel wheels 23) a locking pawl (not shown). This pawl catches in ratchet wheel 27 which rotates frame 10 through 180 degrees by hollow shaft 28.  Pan 6 is thereby brought into the position previously occupied by pan 9, and the latter is pressed against chamber 4 owing to the weight of the boiled sugar in pan 6. The valve 14 is meantime again closed, so that the vacuum is re-established, and the process is repeated.  The product in pan 6 is emptied by tilting.  In an alternative embodiment, either the sugar pump or a clock may transmit electrical impulses at certain time intervals to the vacuum valve, which is then opened by an electromagnet.  The pan carrier frame is released for its rotary movement by contacts, which in their turn are operated by the vacuum or by means of further electrical impulses from the sugar pump or clock.  The rotary motion of the carrier frame is then effected by a motor through a one-way drive.

The elongate housing 1 has a shoulder 2 to act as a stop for the 1 has a shoulder 2 to act as a stop for the assembly. Pins 3 which pass through the skin to contact the bone may be attached to the shoulder 2 or to a member releasably attached to the shoulder. In use a cover 18 is removed to extract a pin 17 from between lugs 12 and as an outer sheath 15 is pushed towards the patient, a conical opening 16 in the end of the sheath 15 remote from the patient causes tapered ports 13, the lugs 12 to be pushed inwards releasing the member 11 which is forced downwards by a compressed spring 8.- When the striker pin and coupling member have pierced the outer layer of bone, the rest of the device is removed to leave only the coupling member in the patient's body so that fluid may be inserted or removed from the bone marrow. In a modification (Fig. 7, not shown) a table-like auxiliary spacer member is releasably attached to the open end of the housing by a screw-thread and has legs which pierce the skin and rest on the bone. The pointed part of the coupling member has a screwthread which penetrates the bone. The coupling member is linked to the housing so that it rotates with the housing and since the screwthreads of the auxiliary member and the coupling member are in opposite directions, the unscrewing of the housing from the auxiliary member causes the coupling member to be screw into the bone until the upper part of the coupling member rests in a recess in the upper part of the auxiliary member. In further modifications the coupling member may be attached to the striker pin holder by a bayonet joint and may have cutting blades and/or abutting faces or a table-like member to limit the depth of insertion of the coupling member into the bone.
