Patent GB-192601-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in apparatus for wrapping caramels, or other blocks, or cakes
IPC: B65B11/28
Filed: 1922-01-26
Abstract: 192,601. Rose, W., and Rose Bros. (Gainsborough), Ltd. Jan. 26, 1922. Packeting by wrapping-up. - Relates to machines for wrapping caramels and the like, and of the kind with an intermittingly rotating mould wheel with recesses into which the caramels and wrappers are pushed so that the wrapper is folded about three sides, the projection portions being then folded down by a stationary and a movable folder, and the end portions folded or twisted to complete the packet. According to the invention, the recesses are capable of accommodating blocks of varying size, the sides being spring-urged by springs of unequal power, and the wrapper which has been folded down on to the fourth side of the caramel is folded into engagement with the adjoining rearward side. Each recess is constituted by jaws 1, 1<a>, held against stops 3, 3<a> by springs 4, 4<a> of which the former is weaker than the latter. Upon the caramel and wrapper being forced into the recess, the jaw 1 yields and the position is thus determined by the jaw 1<a>. The rearwardly projecting side a, Fig. 3, of the wrapper is folded on to the top of the caramel by a member 9, Fig. 2, and the forward side is laid by a concentric stationary folder 5. On arrival at the position shown on the left of Fig. 3, an arm 6 bears against the underside of the caramel and holds it against the folder 5. The jaws 1, 1<a> are then successively withdrawn to the position shown, and a folder 7 passes through an opening 8 in the member 5 and presses the portion b of the wrapper against the rearward side of the block. The arm 6 retires and the jaws 1, 1<a> are released to grip again the block, which is moved on to another position in which the ends of the wrapper are folded or twisted.

Modified shapes of ceramic members are described with reference to Fig. 3 and Fig. 4 (not shown). One surface, or two surfaces as in Fig. 3, of the ceramic member are provided with cavities 25, 26 to receive the bonding concrete.

Title: Dry coating thickness gage
IPC: G01B5/06
Filed: 1967-01-18
Abstract: 1,108,655. Determining the thickness of coatings. M.R. EUVERARD. Jan. 18, 1967 [May 23, 1966], No. 2585 /67. Heading G1M. A gauge for measuring the thickness of a dry coating upon a base material 21 comprises a frame 13, a pair of support members 10, 12 mounted in said frame in spaced relation, and a cutter member 11 located between said support members and adapted to penetrate the coating as the gauge is slid along the coating on said supports, one of said support members 12 being a cam the surface of which lies in contact with the coating, and means for rotationally adjusting said cam to thereby effect an adjustment in the depth to which said cutter penetrates the coating. The front support is in the form of a cylindrical body in which the cutter element 11 is mounted in a generally downward direction and the rear support 12 is in the form of a cylindrical body of short axial length mounted eccentrically to the frame 13. The support 12 is locked in position by a nut 22 which is unscrewed to release the support in order to rotate the cylinder for adjustment of the distance between the cylinder axis and the point of contact with the coating. The zero is set by aligning the cutting point with the tangent to the two supports 10, 12. The cylinder 12 is then rotated counter-clockwise causing the cutting edge of the cutting element to drop below the coating surface. A scale is provided around the edge of cylinder 12 so that its position can be noted to indicate how far the cutting edge has penetrated.

Title: Improvements relating to timekeepers
IPC: G04C3/02
Filed: 1931-01-27
Abstract: 369,705. Clocks. JACKSON, H., 5, Maple Grove, St. Helens, Lancashire. Jan. 27, 1931, No. 2599. [Class 139.] Electric clocks.-In a timing device, a plurality of pendulums or balance wheels are so arranged and interconnected that they all perform in turn exactly similar functions and that their mutual interactions are also exactly similar. The embodiment described comprises two pendulums having electromagnetic driving means, but it is stated that other forms of drive may be employed. When one pendulum 10 is released by means described below it swings to the extreme left-hand position and, during its return swing, trips a lever 14 to depress a lever 16, Fig. 2, secured to a shaft 18. To the other end of the shaft 18 is fixed a lever 17 similar to the lever 16 and at this time detaining the other pendulum 11 which is thus released when the lever 16 is depressed. The pendulum 10 continues its swing until a roller 19 thereon contacts with a wheel 23 mounted on a shaft 25 to which is also secured a ratchet wheel 26, Fig. 3. The shaft 25 and wheel 26 are thus given a small rotation (clockwise in Fig. 3) which causes the closing of contacts 30, 31 by a pawl 29. An electromagnet 28 is thereupon energized and moves a pawl 27 to complete the step of movement of the ratchet wheel 26 and shaft 25. The wheel 23 acts on the roller 19 to draw the pendulum 10 to the right until the roller slips past the tooth 22, the pendulum then being retained by the lever 16. The lever 17 is shortly afterwards tripped by the other pendulum 11 to release the pendulum 10, the cycle thus commencing again. A wheel 24, identical with the wheel 23, is attached to the shaft 25 and correspondingly operates in conjunction with the pendulum 11 as described above. The drive to the clock-train is made through a pinion on the shaft 25 and the electromagnet 28 may close contacts in a number of slaveclock circuits. Specification 257,408, [Class 139, Watches &c.], is referred to.

Abstract: 763,819. Transistor gain control circuits. PHILIPS ELECTRICAL INDUSTRIES, Ltd. Jan. 28, 1955 [Jan. 28, 1954], No. 2654/55. Class 40(6) Cascaded transistors 1, 2 fed from a common D.C. source 7 with the emittercollector paths in series are controlled in amplification by a voltage fed to the base of the first transistor. The control voltage may be derived from a detector 10 and transistor amplifier 11 and applied over filter 12 to the base of transistor 1. A potential divider 13, 14,15 provides the bias for the transistors 1, 2. The reduction in current in transistor 1 resulting from an increase in the control voltage also reduces the emitter current and hence the gain in the series connected transistor 2

[Class 2 (iii)]' A mouldable material comprises comminuted wood, bark or like natural tannin-containing- materials, i.e. materials such as quebracho wood, mimosa bark, spruce bark, hemlock bark, urunday wood, tizera wood, roots &c. which naturally contain catechol tannins, which do not hydrolyze with acids and which react with aldehydes to form water-insoluble condensation products-and an aldehyde, e.g. formaldehyde. The wood &c. is disintegrated by grinding or milling and admixed with the aldehyde, preferably in solid form; but aqueous or non-aqueous solutions may be employed. A plasticizer, particulary water-soluble, e.g. glycerine, may be added. To assist flow in the mould, water or a solvent for the tannin is added. For satisfactory moulding, the tannin content should be about 10 per cent by weight of the fibrous material, the tannin content may be adjusted up or down by the addition of tannin extract or a fibrous filler. As aldehyde paraformaldehyde, polyoxymethylene or hexamethylene tetramine may be employed. The wood &c. may be pressed and sheeted and then treated with aldehyde, a number of sheets being then pressed together to form laminated products. Examples are given of the production of moulding powders from (1) mimosa bark, paraformaldehyde and glycerine,(2) quebracho wood, paraformaldehyde glycerine, methyl lactate and water and (3) larch bark, hexamethylene tetramine, glycerine and water.
