Filed: 1976-09-03
Abstract: 1514048 Glass fibre manufacture OWENSCORNING FIBERGLAS CORP 3 Sept 1976 36659/76 Heading C1M To ensure separation of the glass streams flowing from the orifices in a feeder plate in a glass fibre forming process, a carbonaceous gas is directed into a region below the feeder plate and allowed to undergo incomplete combustion yielding particles of carbon. As shown a burner manifold 50 encloses a region immediately below the feeder plate 19, and is supplied with gas or a gas air mixture which flows out through an annular orifice 58 in the manifold where it spontaneously ignites due to the high temperature environment. An enclosure 45 depends from the manifold 50 to further shield the fibres as they are drawn.

[Also in Division B3] In a process for securing a screen, particularly a printing screen, to a frame and by so doing to stretch it evenly, the edges of a mesh 38 are forced simultaneously into a slot 40, extending around the entire periphery of a frame 36, and secured there by jamming one or more elongate elements 42 in the slot. Mesh 38 may be woven, or may be of expanded metal. Alternatively, it may have been produced by etching a sheer of metal foil, or such a sheer may be secured to frame 36 first and then etched to form a mesh. Suitable materials for mesh 38 include stainless steel and Mo. A stretched and secured Mo foil may have a pattern such as an integrated circuit etched on one side of it, then be etched on the other to form a framed printing screen. When frame 36 is forced downwards by a platen tubes 40 are forced by plates 16 into the slot 40, carrying with them the mesh 38, and jam there. An aperture in floating platform 30 may carry a lens and reticles for lining up the mesh.

[Class 44.] In a lock of the kind described in Specification 16454/14, [Class 44, Fastenings, Lock, &c.], in which a master key and a servants' key operate independent runner-plates which actuate the spring bolt B, the runnerplates C, C<1> are parallel and the movement of either plate is communicated to the bolt B through a single three-armed lever L pivoted at L<1> and pressed downwardly by a spring S. The arm L2 of the lever L is curved so as not to obstruct the handle lever H and, at its upper end, abuts on one side against a projection B<1> on the bolt and on the other side against a projection on the lever H. To ensure easy and silent operation the abutting parts are curved and faced with ebonite or vulcanite V. The arms L<3>, L<4> of the lever L are adapted for engagement by nose-pieces C<2>, C<3> on the runner-plates, the latter co-operating with sets of gated levers O, O<1> and being moved in opposite directions by the master and servants' keys respectively.

Title: Improvements in or relating to stook lifters
IPC: A01D87/12
Filed: 1957-11-29
Abstract: 870,378. Tractor load handling attachments. GRAY, E. T. Y. Feb. 23, 1959 [Nov. 29, 1957], No. 37376/57. Class 78 (3). A stook handling device for attachment to a luffing boom mounted on a tractor comprises a tipping fork 11, and a clamping bar 14 which is raised by engagement of a skid 26 with the ground, and is moved into the clamping position shown by the engagement of a bar 35 by a stook on the fork. In operation lowering of the skid 26 on to the ground causes a push rod 27, 27a to pivot arm 15 upwardly about pivot 18, and engagement of bar 35 by a stook moves an arm 36 about a pivot 39b thereby causing an abutment 37 to break a toggle joint 27d in push rod 27, 27a, whereafter the arm 15 drops and clamps the stook between bars 12 and 14. Consequent upon lowering of arm 15, a push rod 32 extends a further skid 31 from the jib 1 and this, on further forward movement of the tractor, acts through rod 32 on arm 15 to increase the clamping pressure on bar 14, and also prevents the fork from grounding. The jib is then raised over the discharge location, the operator releases a bolt 41 by means of a cable 47 and lever 44, so causing the fork to tip and, through a spring 25 and push rod 23a, arm 15 is raised, skid 31 is retracted and skid 26 is extended. As soon as the stook leaves the fork it returns to its original position and the apparatus is then conditioned to repeat the above cycle. In various modifications (not shown) arm 15 may be telescopic to permit adjustment of the height of bar 14, a further fork may replace bar 14, and a cable may be attached to the toggle joint 27d to enable the operator to close the clamp at will.

Coating compositions and processes. - The process of the parent Specification, wherein coatings having a basis of drying oils or oil varnishes are treated after drying with deoxydizing materials dissolved in a volatile solvent which softens but does not dissolve the coating, is modified by the addition to the paints &c. themselves of the deoxydizing materials in an initially inert form, but which become active by the action of substances (such as acid degradation products, water, &c.) produced in the completed film. Phenols in the form of their lead, zinc, barium, magnesium or other metallic salts are specified as suitable inert deoxydizers. The lead salt of alphanaphthol and linseed oil varnish is exemplified, the alpha-naphthol being freed by acid products such as formic or acetic acid, carbon dioxide, &c. formed during the formation of the film. alphanaphthol may be replaced by any convenient mono- or polyhydric mono- or polynuclear phenols or by phenolic ethers of polyhydric phenols which still contain a hydroxyl group. Deoxydizers of the amine type such as primary or secondary aromatic amines, diphenylamine, benzylamine, &c. may be rendered temporarily inert by employing readily-hydrolyzable compounds with metallic salts such as the double compounds with zinc chloride, water formed, being in this case the activating means.

Abstract: 344,553. Slicing-machines for bread &c. LITTLEFIELD, C., Merrill Park, Battle Creek, Michigan, U.S.A. Dec. 16, 1929, No. 38548. [Class 5 (i).] Comprises a slicing-machine having a slicing table and sets of spaced blades arranged in crossed relationship and means for reciprocating and rocking the sets of blades. Frames 1, Fig. 4, are held together by cross members 2, 3 on which is mounted a horizontal table formed from strips 6; the articles to be sliced are moved along this table by means of flights 5, mounted on a moving band 4 and projecting through slots in the table. Tables 7 are arranged at each side of the machine for feed purposes and guides 8, 9 are provided, of which guide 8 extends rearwardly to form a stop. The conveyer is driven with a step by step movement by means of chain drive 20 from the geneva gear 19. Each set of blades is mounted in a frame 46, Fig. 5, having cross-bars 40, 41 and blades are kept in tension by means of springs; the frame is pivoted to levers 43 on shafts 44, 45. Shaft 45 is rocked by means of a lever 49 connected by a link 48 to a crank, so that the blades are given a reciprocating and a slight rocking movement. The article leaves the endless band and is engaged by fingers 71 attached to an arm 72 pivoted at 73 to a lever 74 and also by fingers 59 mounted on a plunger 36 which feeds the loaves along the slicing table 37 past the knives on to the receiving table 39. The plunger 36 is mounted to move horizontally in blocks 61 mounted on vertical slide bars 62. The plunger is given a horizontal movement by bellcrank lever 67 and a vertical movement by a bellcrank lever 63, the levers being rocked by a cam 66. The plunger thus moves in an elliptical path, the fingers being lifted clear of the next loaf on the return stroke. The plunger and carriage are actuated in timed relationship. An arm 81 attached to the plunger engages a stop 82 on a lever 79 on the working stroke and rocks the lever 72 so that the fingers 71 move with the loaf being cut. The holders 60 for the reception of the cut loaf are mounted on a right and left handed screw 87 fitted with a hand-wheel 89 by which their position may be adjusted. To afford access to the cutters the frame 83 carrying the slotted slicing table 37 is pivoted at 84 so that it may be swung clear and the fingers 71 may be moved away by means of the lever 79. The Specification gives details of a clutch and driving mechanism.
