Abstract: 1,183,777. Moulding hollow chocolates. S. WESTIN. 28 June, 1968, No. 31049/68. Heading B5A. [Also in Division B8] Hollow chocolate bodies, which may subsequently be filled with a different material, are moulded in a plurality of mould recesses 3 formed in rows across a plastics sheet which is intermittently advanced through filling apparatus. The plastics sheet may be transparent, and may remain as a wrapping for the chocolate when a further plastics sheet is placed thereover and welded thereto at the edges and at points between the recesses. The moulding apparatus comprises a plurality of assemblies 1, each provided with a head 2, which are resiliently mounted on a support 4 for simultaneous reciprocation into sealing engagement around mould recesses 3, at a seal 20 of the heads 2. The support 4 is reciprocated, against spring means (not shown) by a continuously rotating cam 5, the shaft 6 whereof rotates the shaft of a multiple way valve 23. In the position shown, the valve 23 connects a chocolate receptacle 24 to a tubular member 10 whereby an amount of chocolate is injected into each recess 3, and then also connects a compressed air source 25, via passage 13, to an annular passage concentric with tube 10 and provided with axially inclined vanes 14 at the outlet thereof whereby a rotary movement is imported to the injected chocolate to uniformly distribute it over the recess 3 and force excess chocolate back to receptacle 24 through valve 23, via an annular passage 18 and radial passage 16 in head 2, and an annular passage concentric with the annular compressed air passages. The valve 23 then sequentially cuts off the supply of chocolate, compressed air and then the return flow to the receptacle 24. After the assemblies 1 have been lifted from the moulds the plastics sheet is displaced to place a further row of recesses therebeneath, by means of a fluid or electric motor 27 actuated from the valve 23 by a fluid pressure switch 26.

Title: Improvements in or relating to Apparatus for Electrically Controlling Railway Trains or Vehicles through the Track.
Inventor: ANGUS ARTHUR REGINALD
IPC: B60M1/10
Filed: 1918-09-30
Abstract: 136,571. Angus, A. R. Oct. 10, 1917, [Convention date]. Electrical systems, non-automatic; track apparatus actuating signals on trains and for stopping trains; signalling to, and communicating bebetween, trains and cabins and stations.-Apparatus for signalling on and controlling trains is controlled by current derived from the track rails in the manner described in Specifications 119,868 and 136,570, and the supply of energy to the track rails is under control of an operator, and is also controlled by track relays connected to opposite rails of the insulated sections of track. Fig. 1 shows three sections I, II, III supplied from a battery 12 through a reversing-switch 6 and polarized relays 26, 14, 16, 18. To allow a train to pass along the track, the switch 6 is moved to the right or left, according to the required direction of traffic, and current of the required polarity is thereby passed through the relays 24, 14, 16, 18 and the wire 160, which may, if desired, be dispensed with by connecting the wire 33 to the continuous rail 1. For traffic from section I towards section III, the switch 6 is moved to the contacts 10, 21, and the armatures of the relays 24, 14, 16, 18 move to contacts 80, 59, 55, 52. Relays 14, 16 have insulated plates which also connect with contacts 32, 91 to close a circuit from the insulated rails 3, 4 of the advance section through the relays 85, 93 to the rail 1. Current then passes from the wire 73 through resistance 53, rail 4, coil 93, contact 91, and rail 1; and a difference of potential exists between rails 4, 1. Relay 93 closes contact 94, and current passes from armature 41, over contact 55, resistance 57, contact 94, rail 3, relay 85, contact 32, to rail 1, energizing relay 85 and producing a difference of potential between the rails 3, 1. Similarly, a difference of potential is produced between the rails 2, 1. A train on either rails 3, 4 shunts current through the axles from the relays 85, 93 and deenergizes the section in the rear of the occupied section, so that the train-stopping or signalling apparatus on a following train would be allowed to come into operation. The Specification as open to inspection under Sect. 91 (3) (a) describes also telephonic and telegraphic apparatus on the train connected to one or more coils wound on one or more axles and operated by induction between the coils and the axles This subject-matter does not appear in the Specification as accepted.

[Also in Group XL(c)] A waveguide switch comprises a coupling member extending across part or the whole of the waveguide, one or more rectifiers connected between the coupling member and the waveguide walls and means for controlling the conductivity of the rectifiers. The coupling member may be in the form of a rod 14, Fig. 1, extending in the direction of the electric field and connected at one end to a conductive tuning piston 16 movable in a cylindrical tube 13. The piston 16 is insulated from the tube 13 by a polystyrene sleeve 17 which acts as an insulator for direct voltages but which forms a short-circuited termination at microwave frequencies for the coaxial stub formed by the rod 14 and tube 13. The other end of the rod 14 is located by an insulating washer 20 within a crystal-rectifier holder 21 which fits within a further tube 13 and is electrically connected thereto. A spring grip 23 on the end of the rod 14 fits over a terminal 24 of the crystal 25. A cap 26 serves to hold the crystal within the crystal holder. A control voltage which determines the conductivity of the crystal and hence the amount of microwave energy absorbed is applied to the coupling member 14. In a modification (Fig. 2), the coupling members 45 (three shown) extend half way across the waveguide 31 and are connected to conductive rods 41 extending between the narrow faces of the waveguide. The ends of the rods 41 are located by insulating washers within cavities 36 formed in a pair of blocks 32, 33 which provide the narrow faces of the waveguide. Each cavity contains a crystal rectifier held in contact with the end of a rod 41 by spring clips 38. The coupling members 45 are terminated as in the construction of Fig. 1 and are connected to a source of control potential. The three coupling members are spaced one half-wavelength apart along the guide. The rectifiers are arranged to be at a distance equal to an integral multiple of a quarter-wavelength from the junction between the members 41 and 48. The resistive impedance provided by the rectifiers may be adjusted by moving the rectifiers and the rods 41 towards and away from the broad faces of the guide, slots 34 being provided in the blocks 32, 33 for this purpose. A number of switches may be provided in a series of hybrid waveguide circuits whereby power may be distributed selectively to a number of outputs.
