Title: Fountain penholder
IPC: B43K23/12
Filed: 1932-02-22
Abstract: 380,714. Fountain pens. EINSELE, R., 51, Pfl³gerstrasse, Pforzheim, Germany. Feb. 22, 1932, No. 5253. [Class 146 (iii).] In a fountain pen of the kind which is movable in an outer case by means of a closing cap provided with an internal abutment, the abutment is constructed as a sleeve k which is coaxially arranged in the interior of the closing cap h and surrounds the nib i of the penholder a, the latter being pushed into its outer casing b by abutment of the inner sleeve k on the end of the holder. In the outer case b a short guidesleeve e, which is detachably connected to the holder a by screw means f, g, is longitudinally movable between a front narrowed portion c of the case and an abutment sleeve d rigidly mounted in the rear end of the case. An air space is formed between the holder a and the outer case b in the writing position owing to the wall thickness of the abutment sleeve d and guide-sleeve e, this space insulating the holder from the outer case and from the heat of the hand. The screw connection f, g enables the holder a to be exchanged. The casing b is made of metal and the holder a of hard rubber.

Title: Improvements in or relating to Tannery Machines
IPC: C14B1/10
Filed: 1967-02-03
Abstract: 1,167,223. Automatically adjusting the working thickness in tannery machines. LUIGI RIZZI & C., S.p.A. Feb.3, 1967 [Feb.4, 1966], ], No.5282/67. Heading C6C. [Also in Division G3] ] A tannery machine for processing skins of the type described in Specification 878, 001 and similar, in many respects, to the machine for buffing leather disclosed in Specification 1,168,733 includes a device for the automatic and gradual variation of the working thickness comprising: a mover adapted gradually and progressively to shift, by a desired distance from a pre-set position, a member for adjusting the distance between the working tool, namely the cylinder 9, and the bolster roller 6, Fig.5, control means actuable by an operator for activating the mover, means for then keeping the mover in action, and means for then de-activating the latter means. The device, Figs.4 and 5, for the automatic and gradual variation of the working thickness is similar to the device for preventing the formation of end-of-stroke markings disclosed in Specification 1,168,733 but differs from it in the following respects. The stem 66 has the same diameter on each side of the piston 65. The cylinder 64 receives, through a pipe 69 connected to one end, pressurized oil from the pipe 63. The other end of the cylinder 64 is connected, by a duct 70, to the magnetic valve 71, in which is located a reciprocable stem 72 carrying three pistons (all constituting a movable armature) and the duct 70 is connected, through a duct provided with an adjustable throttling member 78 and through a duct 77, to the magnetic valve 71. Switches 83 and 84 are provided in the electrical energizing circuit for the device, and an arm 86 is adjustably attached to the disc 47, so that when this arm contacts the switch 84 it is opened. The operator places a skin 7 in the 'open' machine, then depresses the pedal 59 to 'close' and start the machine. If, during processing, the operator finds that the working thickness should be increased, he closes the switch 83 momentarily and the stem 72 moves from its position shown in Fig.4 into the position shown in Fig. 5, in which position a piston cuts off communication between the duct 70 and the pressurized oil supply duct 76, and communication between the duct 77 and the exhaust duct 75 is established. Pressurized oil passing through the pipe 69 into the left-hand end of the cylinder 64 thus pushes the piston 65 to the right, and rotates the disc 47 clockwise, thus causing the cylinder 9 to be withdrawn gradually from the roller 6 until the arm 86 engages and opens the limit switch 84.

Title: An improved device for effecting the automatic release of a body
IPC: B64D1/02
Filed: 1943-04-02
Abstract: 563,059. Automatic release hooks. FAIREY AVIATION CO., Ltd., and TIPS, E. O. April 2, 1943, No. 5307. [Class 89 (ii)] [Also in Group XXXIII] A device for causing a falling flare to become parachute borne at a predetermined altitude comprises a barometer capsule arranged to control the opening of a hook. The device may also be employed for dropping leaflets. A flanged member b has a leaf spring o united to it and the end of the spring projects into the path of an offset end n of a lever k pivoted to the member b at m and projecting through a slot in the flange as a hook j. Stamped from the flange is a lug h that moves the'hook and a lug g that serves for the attachment of the flare p. In the ground level set position of the device, the end n of the link lever is engaged by the end of the spring o. Seated in the flange d to a depth controlled by a head c is a barometer capsule a designed according to the height at which the parachute is to be opened or other operation performed. At ground level the flexible diaphragm is concave as shown and a stud f carried at its centre is clear of the spring o. and lever n. When the aircraft rises above the height at which the device is to operate, the diaphragm in the reduced atmospheric pressure becomes convex and the stud f engages and depresses the leaf spring allowing the lever n under the pull on the hook j to move over it till arrested by contact' with the stud. This movement sets the device but is not sufficient to open the hook. The device is connected to the parachute pack r by a resilient member .s engaging the hook, and a longer flexible connection q extends between the flare and the rip cord of the parachute. On release from the aircraft, the flare falls rapidly, but under the control of a pilot parachute u, until the height for which the device is set is reached when the diaphragm snaps back to concave position releasing the hook. The flare then falls more rapidly till the slack of the connection q is taken up, resulting in a jerk to the rip cord that opens the main parachute.

Abstract: 1,127,173. Flame ionization detectors. PYE Ltd. Feb.9, 1966 [Feb. 9, 1965], No. 5507/65. Heading G1N. A flame ionization detector, particularly for detecting organic gases or vapour present in the effluent from a gas chromatograph, has air cooled electrodes. In the embodiment, one electrode is constituted by a stainless steel burner cap 6, crimped onto an inlet pipe 5, electrical insulation being provided by a resin bonded fibre glass sleeve 8. The second electrode is constituted by a stainless steel cylinder 14, supported at its upper end in an outer stainless steel casing 1 by flanges 15 seated between two electrically insulating washers of PTFE 16, 17 and clamped in position by a ring 18. The carrier gas and organic gases or vapours are supplied to the detector through a connector 4 where they are mixed with hydrogen, entering through tube 27. The combined gases enter the device through an orifice 7 in the burner cap where the hydrogen is ignited by a glow plug 25 situated on a closure cap 24. Air is also supplied to the device at a slight pressure through a pipe 30, from whence it flows down the gap between the casing 1 and electrode 14, thereby cooling the electrode 14, round the flame, up through the electrode 14 and finally out through outlet 31 and pipe 32. The electrodes are connected by leads 9, 20 see also Fig. 4 (not shown), to a polarizing battery (37) in series with a D.C. amplifier (38), whose output is connected to an indicating and/or recording means (39), e.g. a conventional pen recorder. Two similar detectors can be connected into a similar circuit, Fig. 5 (not shown), having common hydrogen and air feeds, one being used as a reference. In this arrangement, the electrodes are oppositely polarized by means of a centre tapped polarizing battery (40). The detector may be mounted in the wall (33), Fig. 3 (not shown) of an oven (34), its lower end being in the oven which also houses a chromatograph column (35). One end of this column is coupled to the connector 4 and the other to a source of carrier gas and a sample injection chamber, through a connector (36).

Title: Improvements relating to winding up mechanism for clocks
IPC: G04B5/20
Filed: 1928-02-22
Abstract: 285,838. Meier, K. H., and Huessy, W. Feb. 22, 1927, [Convention date]. Winding-apparatus; overwinding, preventing.- A clock weight is wound up through differential gearing, a part of which is held by a pawl, the weight when it reaches a certain height releasing the pawl to prevent overwinding, the differential thereafter absorbing the excess power. The source of power may be continuous or non-uniform; for example, expansion of a fluid under changes of atmospheric temperature may be used to operate a plunger. On its working stroke, the plunger pulls on a strap 5 to rotate a pulley 4 to which is fixed the inner end of a spring 3, the other end of the spring being attached to a casing 2 rigid with the stationary plate 1. This stresses the spring 3 and a wheel 10 rigid with the pulley 4 rotates a pawl 11 and a wheel 12 so that a wheel 13 fast on a shaft 15 is rotated. Carried by this shaft 15 are two wheels 18, 19 meshing with wheels 16, 17 which are loose on the shaft. Rigid with the wheel 17 is a pulley 24 carrying a cord 25, and a ratchet wheel 28, which, with a pawl 29, ensures that pulley 24 rotates only in one direction. Rigid with the wheel 16 is a wheel 20 gearing with wheels 32, 33 of which the latter may be arrested by a pawl 21 on a double bell crank lever 23, 30 pivoted at 22. The cord 25 supports the driving weight 26, and a counterweight 27 and passes over a pulley 34 which is fixed on the main driving arbor of the clock. When the pawl 21 engages the wheel 33 each working stroke of the plunger stresses the spring 3 and rotates wheels 12, 13, &c. so that the differential rotates the pulley 24 and winds up the weight 26. At each return stroke of the plunger spring 3 is unstressed and pawl 11 rides over the wheel 10. When the weight 26 reaches a certain predetermined height it raises the lever 30, 23 and removes the pawl 21, preventing overwinding.

Abstract: 1,263,272. Moulding rollers. ROWLAND PRODUCTS Inc. 3 Feb., 1969 [2 Feb., 1968], No. 5785/69. Heading B5A. [Also in Division F2] In a method of moulding a resilient layer 14 for a roll 10 to be used in producing a surface finish upon synthetic thermoplastic sheet material, a cylindrical male mould member 30, Fig. 3, having surface embossments or cavities 33, is centrally located in a mould 24 closed by covers 34, 36 and seals 54, and resin 71 from a supply 60 is fed to the annular space 28 via a line 62 and valve V whilst air escapes from a vent 59. The resin is cured by heated fluid fed to the hollow member 30 and to a cavity 46 between the mould and a jacket 44. A liquid coolant shrinks the resin from the member 30 which is  removed to leave a female mould impression 72 secured to the mould 24. A support member 10, which may comprise the roll to be covered with the resilient layer is then centrally located in the mould and the closed cavity 28 again supplied with a similar or different resin which is similarly cured and cooled. To provide adhesion of the resin to the mould and roll, the surfaces thereof may be treated with a primer. The resin may not be bonded to the mould wall which is fabricated of removable sections enabling it to be removed from the coated roll. If the member 10 does not constitute the roll, the layer may be removed by resin shrinkage. The thus formed layer may be stretched axially and circumferentially on the roll and may be twisted to provide a twist in the embossment pattern. A roll with the moulded layer may co-operate with the original mould member 30 to provide a nip through which P.V.C. sheeting is fed from an extruder, to thereby produce a sheet with hemispheroidal cavities.
