Abstract: 1,012,350. Feeding conveyers. UDEC Ltd. Jan. 24, 1964 [Jan. 21, 1963], No. 2478/63. Heading B8A. A bottle transfer mechanism for a sterilizing compartment of the kind wherein a receiving platform for the bottles is disposed on one side of an endless conveyer 38 and a pusher 27 mounted to move across and above the platform 37 transversely to the direction of motion of the conveyer 38 displaces bottles from the platform on to the conveyer, comprises a platform 29 so mounted that it can be tilted and inclined downwardly towards the conveyer 38, whereby broken bottles fall off the platform on to the conveyer. Bottles carried in cases 10 incorporated in an endless chain conveyer 11, slide therefrom in the region of a guide 16, on to a table 17 rotatably adjustable on a shaft 18. Each bottle then rests on a rubber buffer 19 secured to an arcuate plate 20 supported by arms 21 secured to an oscillatable shaft 24 driven in synchronism with the conveyer 11. Upon anti-clockwise rotation of the plate 20, the bottle further slides down on to the receiving platform 29 against another buffer 28. Upon clockwise rotation of the plate 20, the pusher 27 mounted thereon pushes the bottle on to a platform 37 alongside the conveyer 38. This bottle being pushed on to the conveyer by - the next bottle pushed on to the platform 37. The platform 29 is carried by a slotted lever arm 33 which is fixed to a spindle 36 at one end and which is slidably engaged at the other end by a pin 35 passing through the slot 34 and holes in the forked end of a link 31. The latter is fixed to a spindle 30 provided with a manipulating handle. Under the control of this handle the platform 29 may be tilted about 36 into the phantom position shown in Fig. 1. A depending flange 29a on the platform 29 sweeps over the platform 37 during the tilting motion to sweep any pieces of bottles on to the conveyer. Both conveyers 11 and 38 and the transfer mechanism are located in the sterile atmosphere of air-tight casings 39, 40, 41, 42, the latter of which is divided into an open topped chamber 45 and a pivoted lid topped chamber 44 by a partition 43 which terminates short of the bottom of the casing and has its lower edge submerged in a liquid. The conveyer 38 passes horizontally around a pulley 46 between the casings 41, 42 and a deflection rail 47 at the outer edge of the conveyer is pivoted so that part of this rail may be brought across the conveyer surface to deflect the broken bottles into the chamber 44 from where they may be withdrawn under the partition 43. The pivoting part of the deflecting rail may be interlinked with the manipulating handle for the platform 9.

Filed: 1930-01-24
Abstract: 347,230. Road vehicle signals. RUSSELL, V. J. S. and SMITH & SONS (MOTOR ACESSORIES), Ltd., S., Cricklewood Works, Cricklewood, London. Jan. 24, 1930, No. 2603. [Class 118 (ii).] Control apparatus for direction signalling devices of the type wherein the signal is given by the action of the driver and is reset automatically by the movement of the steering gear, comprises a base member 10 with inlet ports 26, 27 connected by conduits 28, 29 to a pipe 131 leading to the engine induction and outlet ports 24, 25 to the signalling devices and a valve member 18 which is set manually to connect the appropriate inlet and outlet and is later returned by the steering gear. The base 10 is fixed by brackets 12 to the stationary steering column 11, the ports 24 .. 27 being on an arc from the centre of the column, Fig. 2. Connected to the steering wheel 14 by pins 15 and holes 16 is a friction plate 13 which coacts with a valvedisc 18. Plate 13 may be moved vertically against springs 17 and normally disc 18 is independent of plate 13 and base 10 and is held from rotation by spring-pressed balls 19. A connecting port 31 in valve-disc 18 covers in the normal inoperative position pipe 131, outlets 24, 25 and a port 30 in base 10 leading to the atmosphere. Port 31 is also connected to a port 32 on the upper face of disc 18. Hence normally the engine suction is connected to atmosphere. To signal a turn of the vehicle the disc 18 is moved by handle 21, e.g. to the right, so that outlet 24 and port 32 are cut off from the air vent 30 and inlet 26 is connected to the outlet 24 leading to the signal device. Port 26 is connected through pipes 28, 131 to the engine induction, so that the signal is actuated and through 32 the discs 13, 18 are drawn together. Stops 33 on disc 18 and fixed abutments 34, 35 limit movement of this disc. Subsequently when the steering wheel is returned to normal position, its plate 13 carries disc 18 back to normal so that 24, 25, 32 are once more connected to the air vent 30. Instead of the engine induction, hydraulic pressure may be used. In this event, pressure on top of plate 13 presses 13 and 18 together.

Title: Improvements in and relating to the hydration of lime and like reactions
IPC: C04B2/08
Filed: 1922-01-30
Abstract: 192,278. Knibbs, N. V. S., and Denny Chemical Engineering Co., Ltd. Jan. 30, 1922. Lime. - In the hydration of lime and similar reactions between a solid and a liquid, the variation in temperature of the reaction-mass is utilized to vary the rate at which one of the reacting materials, usually the liquid, is supplied. Lime entering the trough 1 from the conveyer 6 is treated with water delivered from the pipe 7 in such amount that the initial product contains an excess of lime, an auxiliary supply of water being then introduced from the sprinklers 11 at a rate which is made to vary with the temperature of the reacting mass. This is effected by means of a device comprising two rods 12, Fig. 5, of different metals. One rod is rigidly secured at one end to the end-plate 13 of the trough 1 and at its other end to the adjacent end of the companion rod, the free end of which passes through a gland 14 and is connected through a coupling with the rod 16. The rod 16 is adjacent to the perforated spindle 18, Fig. 3, which communicates with the chamber 22 to which water is supplied through the pipe 23 and needle-valve 30. Water discharges through the outlet 34 at a rate which varies with the distance between the adjacent ends of the rod 16 and spindle 18, and the resultant pressure in the chamber 22 acts by way of the duct 37 on a diaphragm or like device to control the supply of liquid to the sprinklers 11, the supply increasing with the temperature of. the reaction-mass. The spindle 18 is engaged in the support 20 by an external screw-thread, by means of which the supply of liquid to the sprinklers may be varied independently. The hydration of lime is preferably carried out at a relatively high temperature, an excess of water being used to ensure complete hydration.

Title: Improvements in or relating to electrical discharge devices
IPC: H01J13/34
Filed: 1947-01-30
Abstract: 656,641. Metal-vapour discharge apparatus. IGRANIC ELECTRIC CO., Ltd. Jan. 30, 1947, No. 2897. Convention date, Jan. 30, 1946. [Class 39 (i)] A pool cathode power tube has an additional body of cathode material 17a mechanically and electrically separated from the cathode pool 17, and from which a jet of ionized vapour is directed on to the cathode surface, acting as a starter. Illustrated is a tube 10 with the starting device attached to the bottom wall 10b. This comprises a dome 20 which extends through the wall in a downward chamber 22 having a re-entrant portion 22a containing a heater 24. Fused to the dome at 21a is a bell 21 with a downwardlyextending tube 21b joined to a surrounding tube 21c. Chamber 22 contains some of the same liquid, e.g. mercury, as the cathode 17. When the heater is energized, the mercury 17b between walls 22a and 21b is heated and vaporizes, filling the space 17c. The bell has a small opening 21g with a corresponding opening 20b in the dome 20. When sufficient pressure develops, the mercury vapour escapes through the openings in the form of a jet 17d, which impinges on the cathode surface. This jet is ionized by an electrode 27, which then creates an arc spot where it impinges on the cathode, which starts the main arc very rapidly. A partial obstruction of insulating material over opening 20b is stated to improve the working of the device. This opening 20b also acts as an overflow outlet for the cathode pool 17; thus the two separate bodies of mercury each regenerate the other.
