Title: Process for casting and wrapping thermoplastic food products
IPC: B65B9/06
Filed: 1947-07-16
Abstract: 640,375. Forming flat packets. CELLOPHANE. July 16, 1947, No. 18928. Convention date, July 16. [Class 94(i)] A food casting and wrapping process comprises advancing a continuous strip of flexible wrapping material endwise, progressively folding up the edges of the strip to form a trough, pouring a thermoplastic food product into the trough, folding the sides of the trough in overlapping relationship over the deposited food product, flattening the filled tube thus formed thereby giving it a uniform cross section, cooling the food product in the tube, and finally cutting it into sections of a desired length. In the construction shown in Fig. 6, a strip drawn from a roll 29 is formed into a trough shape by a profiled plate 32. The product to be packed is maintained hot in a reservoir 6 which may be heated electrically, or as shown, by a surrounding jacket through which heating fluid circulates. The product is fed from the reservoir 6 by a flared nozzle 38 (Fig. 13, not shown) which enters between the upwardly converging sides of the trough. Folding plates (Figs. 12, 14, not shown) successively fold the longitudinal sides of the strip down on to the product and the roll thus formed passes over cooling rollers 41. Jaws 42 then form the roll into individual packages which are severed by a cutter 42a and passed to a shoot 44. The shoot 44 is moved progressively at right angles to the plane of Fig. 6 in order to deposit the packages in a row on one section 451 of a rotary platform 45. When the row is complete, the platform 45 rotates and deposits the packages on an endless belt 46 which carries them through a refrigerating chamber 47. A second rotary platform 49 similar to the platform 45, delivers the packages to a second belt 50 which carries them back through the chamber 47 to complete the cooling action. In a modified arrangement the cooling rolls 41 are arranged within the refrigerating chamber. In a further modification (Fig. 1, not shown) the jaws 42 are replaced by opposed rollers between which the roll passes, circumferentially-spaced projections of the rollers producing a goffering effect at each end of the individual packages. In this construction the package-forming rolls may precede the cooling rolls 41 and the latter may then be pocketed in order to contact the packages more closely. The nozzle 38 may be replaced by two nozzles which successively feed two different types of product one on top of the other. A scraper (Fig. 7, not shown) may be provided following the nozzle 38 in order suitably to shape the flow of the product.

Title: Process and material for the production of heat-resistant images
IPC: C25F3/14
Filed: 1966-04-29
Abstract: The unprotected areas of a surface of a support formed by an alloy containing at least 10% of nickel and at least 16% of chromium or at least 60% of nickel and at least 12% of chromium and bearing an exposed and developed photo-resist layer are electro-chemically etched by placing two such resist-coated supports parallel to each other (protecting the non-resist side with a lacquer or a plastics strip) and connecting to an A. C. generator in an etching bath of hydrochloric acid and optionally a metal salt.  A voltage of 2 to 12 volts is applied for 5 to 15 minutes to etch, to the desired depth. The etched plate is then inked up with a silk screen printing ink and the resist is dissolved away, or a metal e.g. copper, nickel, cobalt or silver may be deposited on the etched image areas unprotected by the photo-resist by cathodic deposition to give a contrasting image, the resist coating then being removed by a solvent. Image contrast may be increased by treatment with an alkaline sulphide solution before removal of the resist.  Preferred supports are steels with 19 to 40% nickel and 18 to 26% chromium or nickelchromium alloys with 10-85% nickel ans 12-25% chromium.

Title: Means for transferring trucks to and from train ferries
IPC: B63B27/14
Filed: 1934-06-29
Abstract: 440,646. Landing gangways; ferry-boats. CASSEL, H. S., 42, Kommend÷rsgatan, Stockholm. June 29, 1934, No. 19264. [Classes 113 (i) and 113 (ii)] A gangway on which railway vehicles are transferred from the quay to a ferry-boat comprises a landing-bridge 2, an adjustable platform 3, an elevator or lift 5 all of which are provided with aligned rails. For transport purposes, the rails are brought into substantially horizontal position by adjusting the height of the platform 3 by means of screw devices. For this purpose an automatic arrangement is provided comprising the carriage 9 which is mounted on rails carried by the landing-bridge. Should the latter be in an inclined position the carriage runs on the rails to make contact with one or the other of tumbler switches 10 which energize the motor operating the adjustable platform until the landing-bridge is horizontal. To compensate for movements of the ferry-boat, the landing bridge is flexibly connected between the quay and the landing platform. This connection comprises a bogie interpolated between the rails 17, 171 on the two members, a universal coupling including the horizontal and vertical spindles 15, 14 permits freedom of movement whilst longitudinal movement is allowed by the forward shaft 18 of the bogie working in the longitudinal slot in the rail 17. The elevator by means of which the vehicles are transported to the holds is arrested at the level of the adjustable platform by a pin 26 on the lift 5 tripping the two-armed lever 25 which normally holds up a second two-armed lever 23. The spring 36 breaks the elevator motor circuit. The bolt 19 is also moved forward to support and secure the elevator.

Abstract: 873,137. Linkwork. DEWRANCE & CO. Ltd. June 17, 1959 [June 18, 1958; April 3, 1959], Nos. 19559/58 and 11439/59. Class 80 (3). [Also in Group XXVI] Means for transmitting motion through a pressure-tight wall 20 sealed by a flexible bellows 32 (see Group XXVI) comprises an intermediate member 3 rigidly connected to one end of the bellows and coupled to the ends of driving and driven members 1, 2, movement of the driving member causing the intermediate member, which is prevented from rotation by constraining means 68, 69, 70, 71, to move in a curved path, the latter movement being converted into rotational movement by the member 2. The member 1, which may be rotated by a spanner engaging a square 47, is provided with a crank-pin 5 coupled to the intermediate member so that, upon rotation of the member 1, orbital movement of the intermediate member is converted by a crank-pin 6 on the member 2 into rotary motion. The intermediate member is prevented from rotation by pins 70, 71, Fig. 2, fixed in a bush 58 engaging in arcuate slots 68, 69, in the intermediate member, the length of the slots being determined by the required degree of rotational movement of the members 1, 2; if complete rotation of the latter is required the slots must be of circular form. In the modification shown in Fig. 4 applied to an arrangement for transmitting power by continuous rotary motion of the members 1, 2 at high speed, the rotation of the intermediate member and consequent torsion of the bellows is prevented by a pinion 90 engaging with an internal gear 80 formed on the intermediate member, the pinion being rotated through a pinion 101 fixed to the member 2 driving gears 94, 95; the number of teeth in the gearing is such as to permit free orbital movement of the gear 80 but prevent its rotation. The member 2 may act as the driving member and the member 1, the driven member. Specification 873, 136 is referred to.

Title: Improved height control system for a vehicle fluid suspension
IPC: B60G17/052
Filed: 1958-06-19
Abstract: 832,895. Maintaining constant road vehicle height. GENERAL MOTORS CORPORATION. June 19, 1958 [July 17, 1957], No. 19610/58. Class 108(2) A constant pressure inlet valve 66 and a constant pressure relief valve 68 are disposed in the conduit networks 38 and 48 respectively, associated with the inlet and exhaust sides of pneumatic road-vehicle suspension springs 12, 14, 16 and 18. A two-way valve 78 is disposed between the exhaust side of the valve 68 and an air cleaner 76 leading to atmosphere. This permits release of unduly high exhaust conduit pressure to atmosphere or the take-up of air from atmosphere. A manually operable valve- 70 may be turned from a normay position (shown) to a position in which the network 48 is connected to the inlet valve 66. This has the effect of applying high pressure air to the exhaust side (41) of each of the levelling valve mechanisms 42, 44, and 46 (Fig. 2). The exhaust valve 55 in each case is lifted by the reverse excess pressure and the springs are extended to a maximum degree for jacking purposes or traversing rough terrain. A twin ball valve assembly 60 prevents flow of air between the two front springs 12, 14, which are controlled by a single levelling valve 42.

Abstract: 396,218. Combination undergarments. SPENCER, Ltd., G. and NEWELL, E. A., Vedonis Works, Basford, Nottingham. July 12, 1932, No. 19687. [Class 141.] Relates to combination undergarments of the kind having an open, overlapped, rear vent, the overlapping parts being widened and extended up to the waist line, As shown, Fig. 5, the under part 3b of the overlap is constituted by the lower back part of the garment, and the upper part of the overlap is constituted by a flap 5 which is sewn to the garment. The overlap is half the width of the back of the garment, and presents no central vertical seam. In making the garment from a length of tubular material, Fig. 2, this is cut centrally up the front, and at the back is cut up at b near one side to a point d at the waist line. A curved cut e is made to join the cut b, thus forming the rear vent. The cut edge 15 and a gusset-piece 8, Fig. 4, are secured to one front central cut edge to form the right leg. A flap 5 of the shape shown in Fig. 3, is secured along its edge 5a to the cut edge 2a, and along its edge 20 to the back of the garment. Its edge 5d and another gusset-piece 8 are secured to the other front cut edge to form the left leg. Its edge 5b is left free. The cutting modifications necessary for producing a long-legged garment are shown in dot-and dash lines in Figs. 2 and 3. In a modification, the parts are cut somewhat differently to avoid the use of gusset-pieces in the legs.

[Also in Division G4] In a digital transmission system a number of stations are serially connected in a loop. Each station comprises a demodulator which receives data from the previous station, a computer, and a modulator to transmit data to the next station. If a fault occurs in the modem of a station, that station is shorted out so that the transmission loop is unbroken. In the embodiment described computer D in station DT receives data from demodulator M and, depending on the address of the data, passes the same data or new data to the transmission loop via modulator S. A comparator K2 compares the A.C. data at the input of demodulator M with that at the output of modulator S, and a comparator K1 compares the D.C. data at the computer input with that at the computer output. The outputs of K1 and K2 are compared at K3 and if they differ, owing to bit inversion in the modem, relay B is energized to short the input terminal of DT to the output terminal, causing subsequent data to by-pass the faulty terminal.

Abstract: 147,923. Wagner, E., (trading as Wagner Apparatebau, E.). Oct. 17, 1918, [Convention date]. Void [Published under Sect. 91 of the Act]. Hand-trucks.-In a hand-truck of the kind having a platform adapted to be raised and locked by movement of a pivoted pole or handle, the hole comprises two relatively-movable members provided with locking-devices so constructed and arranged that, when the pole is swung into an inclined petition, the setting-devices for the platform are brought into the raised position, and when the pole is returned to the vertical position, the locking-devices are uncoupled so that the free pole can be locked to the platform. As shown, the platform 1, Fig. 1, has lugs 5 connected to the undercarriage 2 by arms 3 adapted to swing about the wheel axles 4. The front arms 3 form part of bell-crank levers 3, 3<1>, 3<11>, each part 3<11> forming a guide for a slidable casing 16<1> with a catch-piece 16 and a projection 16<11>. The ends of the stirrup-shaped pole 22 are received in sleeves 21, Fig. 4, with forked ends 26 pivoting on the front axle 4. A stirrupshaped member 24 is guided by lugs 25 on the pole 22, and has its ends secured to arms 20' on casings 20 slidable on the sleeves 21, springs 23 normally pressing the member 24 and casings 20 downwards. When the pole is in the vertical position with the platform lowered, hooks 20<11> on the casings 20 are in engagement with the projections 16<11> and the catch-pieces 16 with hooks 11 on forward extensions 13 of the front lugs 5 so that the platform 1 and the pole are locked. To raise the platform, the member 24 is raised against the action of the springs 23 and acts through the parts 20, 20<11>, 16<11>, 16<1> to raise the catch-pieces 16 from the hooks 11. The pole is then turned forwards into its inclined position, the bell-crank levers 3, 3<1>, 3<11> being moved forwards by the engagement of the parts 16<11>, 20<11>, so that the arms 3 raise the platform and flats 3<111>, 3<1111> are respectively moved out of and into locking engagement with flats 5<1> on the lugs 5. At the same time, the catch-pieces 16 slide along curved parts 18 of the hooks 11 and, under the action of the springs 23, engage inclined flats 19 on the parts 13 to assist in locking the platform. If the pole is turned back into the vertical position, the hooks 20" leave the projections 16" and the bell-crank levers remain in the position locking the platform, while catches 15 on the slidable casings 20 snap over hooks 17 on upward extensions of the lugs 5 and lock the pole in the vertical position; if, however, it is desired to lower the platform, the catch-pieces 16 are moved away from the flats 19 by raising the member 24 before turning back the pole. A steering-roller 7 is mounted between the front wheels 6 on a fork 8 rotatable on a rod 9.
