Title: Apparatus for making coffins
Inventor: WARBURTON GEORGE ANTHONY
IPC: A61G17/00
Filed: 1968-01-26
Abstract: 1,253,672. Woodworking. BEVERLEY VENEERS Ltd. 20 Jan., 1969 [26 Jan., 1968], No. 4211/68. Heading B5L. [Also in Division A5] Apparatus for making coffins comprises a former in four parts 1, 2, 3, 4 defining a coffin shape, screw jacks 5, 5<SP>1</SP>, 6, 6<SP>1</SP>, 7 and 8, between the adjacent parts of the former to vary its size and jacks 17 to 24 for holding the side boards and end pieces against the former. The apparatus is mounted on a base 25, the jacks 21 to 24 being adjustable in position. The base carries supports 27 for a displaceable top member (26) adapted to press down on a coffin bottom placed on the former. The side boards preferably provided with overlapping edge mouldings (30) Fig. 3 (not shown) which act as a rebate for the bottom, are positioned against the former parts 1, 3 and 2, 4 and the jacks 17- 20 actuated to bend the sides to the former shape. The end pieces, preferably provided with similar edge mouldings, are positioned and the jacks 21-24 actuated. The coffin bottom is positioned in the rebate defined by the edge mouldings and the top member (26) positioned. A high or radio frequency generator is then connected between electrical terminal strips at the four vertical corners 9-12 of the former parts and co-operating angle strips 21<SP>1</SP>-24<SP>1</SP> on the jacks 21-24, and between strips 13-16 along the top edges of the former and co-operating strips placed on the top member (26). The A.C. current through the capacitors so formed generates heat which sets heat-settable adhesive previously applied on all surfaces of the coffin parts to be secured together. The side boards and end pieces may alternatively be provided with a rebate cut into one edge and the side boards may be bent to shape by hand prior to positioning against the former.

Title: Automatic phase control for traffic lights
IPC: G08G1/07
Filed: 1963-02-05
Abstract: 1,038,072. Road traffic control signals. RAD-O-LITE Inc. Feb. 5, 1963 [May 18, 1962], No. 4637/63. Heading G4Q. An automatic phase control system for sequentially switching traffic lights comprises a pair of relays RY1, RY2 energized from an A.C. supply via rectifiers D1, D2 and a capacitor C2 for delaying the release of the relay RY2 to time the amber period. Initially switch SW is open and relays RY1 RY2 are both de-energized completing the circuit to red light 10. Closing switch SW energizes relay RY1 to extinguish red light 10, and energize green light 12 and relay RY2. Opening switch SW releases relay RY1, relay RY2 remaining energized by the charge on capacitor C2. The green light 12 is thus extinguished, and the amber 11 energized. Capacitor C2 discharges through the circuit comprising resistors R4, R5, R6 until the relay RY2 releases returning the circuit to its initial state with red light 10 energized. The discharge time of capacitor C2, and hence the amber period may be varied by resistor R6, and the durations of the other phase are controlled by the switching rate of switch SW which is itself controlled by a further timing circuit.

Patent GB-496351-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in and relating to rotary compressors
IPC: F04C28/00
Filed: 1938-02-16
Abstract: 496,351. Rotary compressors. DEMAG AKT.-GES. Feb. 16, 1938, No. 4848. Convention date, Feb. 16, 1937. [Class 110 (ii)] A rotary compressor is shifted over to no-load running condition in the event of failure of the supply of driving medium to the motor driving the compressor. An electromagnet 4 is energized when current is being supplied to the electric driving motor, and holds closed a valve 6, and a valve 7 open, against the weight 8, or a spring. When the current fails, the valve 6 opens, valve 7 closes, and fluid under pressure flows from a tank 9 to force down a piston 10 and close a valve 1, thus closing the suction pipe to the compressor. The compressor runs idle driving gas out past a valve 2, to the atmosphere. The compressor is loaded only when its operating speed is reached, by means of an auxiliary relay 11 which controls the magnet 4 in combination with a retarding device. When the motor is stopped, the retarding device acts by first causing the relay 11 to fall and thus break the circuit of the magnet to set the compressor to idle running. After a time lapse the main switch falls out. Fig. 2 shows a plant with low and high pressure compressors N, H, respectively, and an intercooler Z and a condensate receiver K. The compressed gas in the parts Z, K, drives the compressor H forward when the. regulator R has closed the shut-off valve in the suction pipe of the compressor N. A pressure switch 16 under the influence of pressure fluid in the tank 9, breaks the circuit to the magnet 4 when a pre-determined allowable pressure is reached. In the device shown in Fig. 3, the pressure in the tank 9 acts through a pipe 19 to raise a valve 18 and connect pipes 19 and 27, and close the outlets to atmosphere 28. Balls 21 are thrust aside when the valve 18 is lifted against the load of a ball 20. In its lowest position the valve 18 connects a pipe 27, leading to the space above the valve 10, to the air outlets 28.

Abstract: 525,156. Artificial filaments, films &c. COOP CONDENSFABRIEK FRIESLAND. Feb. 15, 1939, No. 5016. Convention date, .Feb. 19, 1938. [Class 2 (ii)] Fibres, filaments, threads, films, and the like are obtained by spinning a protein solution, particularly casein solution, if desired mixed with viscose, into a coagulating bath, and subjecting the products to the action of steam or water-vapour. The treatment with steam or water-vapour may be carried out after leaving the coagulating bath but before the drying step e.g. while the filaments are on their way to a cutting,or spooling device, or on the spooling device itself, preferably while the filaments are still under tension. The treatment may be carried out while the threads are on profiled rollers or just before the threads meet these rollers. The fibres may thus be fixed in a curled condition. The steam or water-vapour may be mixed with other vapours or gases such as ammonia, formaldehyde, sulphur dioxide, alcohol, or carbon dioxide. A steam jet may be directed on to the threads, or the threads may be passed through a chamber in which a damp and warm atmosphere prevails. Steam may be blown into the chamber. Casein, soya proteins, fish proteins, or other animal or vegetable proteins may be used. The treated products have low shrinkage properties. The spinning solution may be a solution of the protein in caustic soda solution. Solutions of mineral or organic acids may be used for the coagulation baths.

Title: Improvements in and relating to the preparation of aluminium or aluminium alloy anodes for electrolytic condensers and rectifiers
IPC: H01G9/00
Filed: 1932-02-20
Abstract: Aluminium or aluminium alloy anodes for electrolytic condensers and rectifiers are treated so as to form a comparatively thick low resistance oxide coating either chemically or by the electrolytic action of direct current, the anode then having a dielectric thin oxide coating deposited thereon electrolytically by direct current. The low-resistance film may be formed chemically by immersion in a solution containing 3 per cent of sodium carbonate and 3 per cent of sodium bicarbonate at a temperature of about 98 DEG  C.  The electrode is then dipped in dilute nitric acid and washed in distilled water.  Other metallic salts may be added to the solution of carbonates.  Solutions containing the hydroxides of the alkali or alkaline earth metals may also be used, preferably at a lower temperature such as 45 DEG  C.  The coated electrode is then introduced into an electrolyte of the borate, phosphate, or tungstate type, where the dielectric oxide coating is deposited electrolytically.
