Title: Improvements in or relating to demountable partitions
IPC: E04B9/00
Filed: 1959-02-24
Abstract: 892,965. Partitions; glazing. QUIRKE, J. P. Feb. 19, 1960 [Feb. 24, 1959], No. 6436/59 Classes 20(3) and 20(4) [Also in Group XXV] Partitioning comprises opposed face panels 1, 2, Fig. 6 connected to each other by resilient means drawing the panels towards each other and holding them against a supporting framework, the resilient means being arranged so that a face panel may be detached from its opposed face panel. In the exemplified embodiment the resilient means comprises, secured to the panel 1, a spring loaded swinging hook 53 which may be held in a cocked position by a pivoted latch 57 which is released by the engagement therewith of a fixed hook 59 on the panel 2 as the panels are initially moved one towards the other, whereby the hook 53 swings into engagement with the hook 59 and draws the panels towards one another and against the framework. The hook 59 is inclined in a manner to permit the disengagement of the hooks 53, 59 upon relative outward movement of the panels. The framework comprises rectangular core posts 4, Fig. 2, to which are secured rectangular frames formed of dumbbell sections 20 and spacers 3. The dumb-bell sections 20 extend beyond the edges of the posts 4 to define grooves to receive additional frames forming junctions or corners, such frames not being provided with dumb-bell sections along their vertical edges. The bottom and/or top horizontal frame members may be spaced from the floor or ceiling respectively, and the space so formed filled by skirting panels 1<SP>1</SP>, 2<SP>1</SP> secured to each other by spring clips and spaced apart by a floor &c. plate 23 and by a spacer member 3 secured to the corresponding horizontal rail of the frame. The partitioning is held in place by spring-loaded jacking means 6, Fig. 3 carried by the upper ends of the core posts 4, and including a compression spring 12 which is held at a pre-set load by a pin 14 which can be removed after a screwed rod 7<SP>1</SP> and nut 8<SP>1</SP> have been adjusted to thrust a bearing plate 7 against the ceiling, so that the jack 6 bears on the ceiling with substantially the preset load of the spring 12. Cover strips 31 may cover any otherwise exposed edges of the core posts 4 and may fit in an otherwise exposed groove of a dumb-bell section used as make-up member at a corner, as in Fig. 1 (not shown). The frames can be assembled with aluminium glazing bars 33 within which glazing is secured by split rubber beads 35, 36. Specification 892,966 is referred to.

Title: Improvements in or relating to toggle-actuated presses
IPC: B30B1/16
Filed: 1946-03-01
Abstract: 634,154. Mechanical presses. STANDARD TELEPHONES & CABLES, Ltd., NIGHTINGALE, E. L., and BAKER, J. March 1, 1946, No. 6443. [Class 87 (ii)] The ram 2 is actuated by a toggle 3, 4, which is operated by a double-acting pneumatic cylinder 13, the parts-moving from the full-line to the dotted-line position for one stroke of the press and back to the full-line position for the next stroke. The weight 7 accumulates kinetic energy during the early part of the stroke and helps to carry the toggle through the dead centre position, thus permitting the use of a relatively weak pneumatic cylinder. The height of the pivot 8 is adjustable by means of the screw 10. The cylinder pivot 12 may be similarly adjustable. Valves 18 allow the rate of admission of gas to the cylinder 13, and consequently the rate of movement of the press, to be adjusted, and an adjustable reducing valve may be inserted in the supply line to the operating valve 16 to control the power delivered to the press. Specification 634,162, [Group XXIX], is referred to.
