Abstract: 729,133. Endless elevators. CALABRESE, E., and CORBELLA, C., [trading as TELEFLEX ITALIANA, SOC. IN ACC. SEMPLICE]. Feb. 7, 1952 [March 7, 1951; July 21, 1951], No. 3240/52. Class 78 (1). An apparatus for lifting logs, beams and like articles to predetermined heights along a conveying track by means of pushers on an endless chain or rope is characterised in that the track comprises a rigid and non-adjustable surface along which the chain or rope travels and means are provided at each side of the track for guiding the articles, at least one of said guiding means being adjustable in length. Figs. 1, 2 show an embodiment in which the conveyer track 22 is supported in a frame 30 pivotally mounted at its sides by members 20 on a wheeled frame 10. The inclination of the frame 30 is adjusted by ropes or chains 18 of a hand winch 26, while its height may be adjusted by moving the members 20 along the members 24 of the frame 10. The track 22 consists of two planks or metal plates 32, 34 spaced' apart to form a channel 35 along which moves the upper run of an endless chain 36 provided with pushers 38. The chain passes round terminal pulleys at the ends of the frame 30, one of these pulleys, preferably the lower one, being driven by a motor supported on the frame 30. The planks or plates 32, 34 may be inclined at an angle to the channel 35. Guides 40 on the outer sides of the planks 32, 34 each consist of telescopic elements 42, the lowest of which is secured to the frame 30. Adjustment of each of these elements 42 is effected by a cable 43 extending from a winch 44 over a fixed roller (not shown) at the top of the frame 30 to the uppermost element. When the guide on the discharge side of the conveyer track has been adjusted to the required height, planks T are lifted along the track by the pushers 38 and discharged laterally of the track by an arm 48 on a bracket 46 on the left-hand guide 40. The height of this bracket may be adjusted by operating the appropriate winch 44. A bar 50 secured to the left-hand guide 40 prevents the planks falling backwards. Each guide 40 may comprise a flexible steel strip 52, Fig. 5, wound round a drum 56 located at the lower end of the frame 30 and rotatable by hand. Rollers 54 on the frame 30 guide the strips.

Patent GB-989466-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in or relating to processes for the decorative enamelling of domestic appliances
IPC: C23D5/00
Filed: 1962-01-30
Abstract: A process for the decorative enamelling of relatively large surface areas of domestic appliances comprises the use of a carrier enamel layer and a decorative enamel layer applied thereto, the surface tensions of the compositions of the said layers being substantially different so that during a subsequent stoving or firing operation, the decorative enamel layer sinks into the carrier enamel layer so as to produce a decorative surface with a relief effect.  The surface tension of the carrier enamel layer is preferably made substantially greater than the surface tension of the decorative enamel layer, e.g. by including a tin or antimony based turbidifying agent in the carrier enamel and by adding fluxing agents to the decorative enamel. The carrier enamel preferably contains as additives 4-9% of colouring substances, 4-6% of clay, 0.25-0.5% of a flotation agent such as sodium nitrite, at least 1.2% of sodium fluosilicate, at least 1% of a finely divided silica and 0.1-0.25% of a surface active ampholyte. The decorative enamel layer is preferably applied by embedding in a polyester based foil by a silk screen process, the foil then being stuck to the surface of a fired carrier enamel layer and the two layers jointly fired.  The process may be applied, for example, to the decorating of cast iron domestic stoves.

Filed: 1929-02-06
Abstract: 328,931. Higgs, C. W. Feb. 6, 1929. Hydraulic steering - gear; adjusting steering hand-wheels, columns, and levers.-Steering-gear comprises a pump, means for operating the pump in opposite directions, and hydraulic means operated by the pump and connected to a lever located between and operating the members to be steered. In the construction shown, the steering shaft 2 drives a gear-wheel or other pump 8 connected by flexible pipes 9, 10 to cylinders 11, 12 mounted on the axle 15. The pistons 13 are connected by adjustable rods 21 to a lever 17 pivoted on the axle and connected at its outer end by pivoted rods 18 to the steering arms 19 of the stub axles 7. Thus, when the steering shaft is rotated in either direction pressure is produced in one of the pipes 9, 10; one of the pistons is operated, and the stub axles are swivelled in the desired direction. Leakage of fluid or loss of pressure is made up by means such as a cylinder 25 provided with a screw piston 26 and connected to the hydraulic circuit by a pipe 29. The cylinders 11, 12 may be mounted on the frame instead of on the axle. In a modification, instead of the cylinders 11, 12 a radial vane motor is used provided with a fixed abutment in which there is a restricted aperture. The steering shaft is telescopic and is mounted, together with the pump, on a pivot 5 on a bracket 6 on the dash or other convenient part, so that the steering-gear may be mounted either on the right-hand or lefthand and in the most convenient position. According to the second Provisional Specification, the hydraulic motor may be mounted on the frame and connected to the stub axles by the usual drag link, or (2) two hydraulic motors may be employed, each being connected to its corresponding stub axle.

Abstract: 852,375. Circuits employing bi-stable magnetic elements. SOC. D'ELECTRONIQUE ET D'AUTOMATISME. Feb. 7, 1958 [Feb. 21, 1957], No. 4079/58. Class 40 (9). [Also in Group XIX] A shift register comprises cascaded stages each comprising a pair of magnetic cores having a pair of write-in windings 1 in additive serial connection, a pair of read-out windings 2 in subtractive serial connection and separate shift control windings 3, 4, each interstage circuit comprising the windings 2 of a stage and windings 1 of the next stage connected in a closed transfer loop. The register shown employs three stages for each binary digit, currents i 1 -i 3 , I 1 -I 3  being supplied to the shift windings according to a twin three-phased system indicated in Fig. 2. Suppose e.g. that cores A2,B2 are in state " 1," and the remaining cores are in the opposite saturation state " 0," current i 2  during the first period a, Fig. 2, resets A2 to " 0," but this has no effect on any of the other cores, current I 1  preventing a change of state in core B1. During the following period b, current I 2  resets B2 to " 0 " and the current induced in the associated interstage circuit will switch over cores A3, B3 to " 1 "; a change of state on cores A2 and A1 is prevented by current i 2  (now at a higher level) and I 1  respectively. Thus the state of cores A2, B2 is transferred to cores A3, B3. Similar operations occur during succeeding transfer periods a, b under control of the appropriate shift currents, whereby the "1" state is transferred to cores A1, B1 and then A<SP>1</SP>2, B<SP>1</SP>2. The turns ratio between windings 2 and 1 is preferably greater than two. Various modifications are suggested, e.g., the two levels of currents i 1 -i 3  may be distributed on two separate windings on cores A1, A2.

Abstract: 1378591 Stoppers, &c. V WASSILIEFF 28 Jan 1972 [29 Jan 1971] 4184/72 Heading B8T A stopper comprises a sealing element E having a radially deformable annular sealing bead 8 for location adjacent a downwardly facing annular zone P of a container neck G, and an operating element A consisting essentially of-a cylindrical ring 14 which is displaceable axially to apply a radial force, by its action in pivoting the annular projection 9, to the annular sealing bead 8 and hold it in sealing contact with the annular zone P of the container neck. A tear-off guarantee band 11 forms a groove 12 which retains an annular projection 15 on the operating element A when it is in the sealed position, Fig. 1b. To open the container the guarantee band 11 is torn off and the operating element A raised enabling the seal 8 to move away from the neck. An annular projection 16 on the element A engaging an annular projection 3 on the element E prevents separation of the elements A and E on removal from the container. The container can be resealed after use by moving element A to its locked position on element E. In a modification, Fig. 4 (not shown), the element E surrounds element A which has a closed end. In another modification, Fig. 3 (not shown), the seal is released by a second downward axial movement of element A, enabling the sealing bead (45) to return to its original unsealed position because of a groove (50) on the outer face of the cylinder (47). Again, Fig. 2 (not shown), the element E has a tear-off diaphragm (24) in its curved end (21). It is sealed by downward axial movement of element A enabled by downward flexure of the curved end (21), and the seal is released by a second downward axial movement of element A enabled by a punch (T) which removes the diaphragm (24). Tools for application of the various stoppers are also shown.
