Title: Improvements Relating to Electric Batteries
Inventor: MILWARD GILBERT HAROLD
IPC: H01M10/28

Abstract: 1,197,468. Batteries. ALKALINE BATTERIES Ltd. 24 Sept., 1968 [26 Sept., 1967], No. 43855/67. Heading H1B. An electric battery particularly one using alkali hydroxide electrolyte has at least one electrode comprising active material, in the form of a self-supporting sheet, which is reinforced with a sheet of textile material, pressed into contact with but not secured to, a conducting sheet through which electrode connection to the battery is made. The electrodes of opposite polarity may be assembled in a flat stack, Fig. 1, or wound in a spiral, Fig. 2, or bent to-and-fro in a zig-zag form (Fig. 3, not shown). In an embodiment, the active materials nickel and cadmium hydroxide which may include graphite or nickel powder are mixed to a paste with a cellulosic binding agent and applied to both sides of a loosely woven nylon tape, dried and then calendered. A complete electrode plate may be made by forming a sandwich 11 and 13 of the pasted strip of the same polarity on both sides of metal strip 12, preferably of nickel-plated steel or pure nickel and provided with lugs or projections for electrical connection to the electrode, the said sandwich being separated from another 15, 16, 17 of opposite polarity by separator material 14. A further separator strip 18 is placed on top. The assembly may then be wound into a spiral and bent into a zig-zag form.

IPC: A01D34/63
Filed: 1965-10-16
Abstract: In a wheel-less rotary-cythe mower supported by an air-cushion, the rim of the housing is interrupted to form a lateral discharge aperture for cuttings.  The machine is generally similar to that described in Specification 997,528 and comprises an air-impeller coaxial with the rotary-scythe blade, and having sufficient air-output to enable enable the housing to remain airborne in spite of the leakage through the aperture.  The aperture extends rearwardly from a vertical plane through the rotor-axis perpendicular to the direction of motion and need be only of 1/4 of an inch in height.  As in the prior Specification, the aperture may be combined with a passage leading to a grass-collector and it may be closable at will by a detachable cover.

Title: Printing press
IPC: B41F3/30
Filed: 1965-10-19
Abstract: 1,069,175. Cylinder printing-machines. E. F. DICKERSON. Oct. 19. 1965, No. 44174/65. Heading B6C. A cylinder printing-machine comprises (1) a vertical frame 16, 17 in which can be adjustably mounted an impression cylinder 21 for printing from an intaglio or a relief printing-plate or a scraper-bar 20 with a bevelled lower edge for printing from a lithographic plate, (2) a horizontal frame 14 upon which a printing-plate-carrying bed 13 is slidable beneath the cylinder 21 or bar 20 and (3) a driven roller 31 slidablymounted in the frame 17 so that it can be lifted into engagement with the underside of the bed to drive the bed. A screw 18 engages a threaded member 29 fixed to the frame part 16 and is rotatably-attached at its lower end to a member 19 slidable in the frame parts 17. The scraper-bar 20 can be attached to the member 19 by a screw 25, or brackets 26 carrying the impression roller 21 can be secured to the member 19 by screws 23. Slidably-mounted in the lower ends of the frame parts 17 are brackets 33 carrying the driving roller 31. A rod 35 rotatably mounted in the frame parts 17 below the roller 21 carries cams 36 and is turned by a handle 37 so that the cams raise the roller 31 into engagement with the bed. A reversible driving-motor 11, coupled to the shaft 32<SP>1</SP> of roller 31 by chain-and-sprocket gearing, is carried by bracket 47 slidable vertically on the frame 17, the lower end of bracket 47 being secured to one of the brackets 33 so that the drive is unaffected as the roller 31 is raised and lowered. The horizontal frame 14 comprises angle members 38 with turned-down feet 40 and joined at their outer ends by cross-bars 39. The inner ends of the members 38 are each connected by two screws 42 to arms 41 fixed to the frames 17 so that by removing one screw 42 of each pair, the members 38 can be rotated into an approximately vertical position (Fig. 5) for rendering the apparatus portable. The bed 13 which is made of fibreboard rests upon rollers 43, 43<SP>1</SP> on the members 38 when the machine is inoperative, but the highest part of the roller 31 is a little above the rollers 43, 43<SP>1</SP> when the roller 31 is in operative position so that the bed 13 tilts as it passes from one end to the other of its travel. In operation, the inked &c. printing plate is placed on the bed 13 with the paper to be printed thereon, and the appropriate impression member 20 or 21 is fixed to the member 19 which is adjusted by the screw 18 to give the required pressure. The motor 11 is started and the roller 31 raised so that a printing stroke is effected. At the end of the stroke, the roller 31 is lowered thus allowing the bed 13 to drop on to the rollers 43 so that the printed paper can be removed.

Abstract: 1311838 Steering vehicles APPLIED POWER INDUSTRIES Inc 24 Sept 1971 [4 Nov 1970] 44735/71 Headings B7H and B7V  An hydraulic power steering apparatus for land vehicles, or the control surfaces of air or waterborne vehicles comprises a differential piston 26 whose rod 28 operates the steered members, the hydraulic supply to the righthand-side of the piston 26 being direct from the pump at 42 and to the other side from the pump via a control valve 10 pivoted at 46 to the cylinder 24 and operated by the steering controls. In the apparatus as shown, which is for a vessel, the manual steering effort is exerted via cable 9c and moves link 20 about pivot 82 thus displacing valve spool extension 52 which is pivotally attached to link 20 by a nut 58. Spool 50 covers or uncovers ducts 71 or 74, which are connected to pump and sump respectively, thus causing piston 26 to move to the right or left to pivot the rudder into positions 22a or 22b respectively. An automatic pilot 18 may be used whose rotary output cable 98 is attached to the threaded extension 56 of the valve spool 50 causing nut 58 and link 20 to move to operate valve 10 as described above. The automatic pilot 18 is able to be overridden by the manual steering controls which may be at more than one location in the vessel. In the event of loss of fluid pressure, a steering input will cause spool 50 to contact end plug 53 or 54, allowing piston 26 to be displaced mechanically. The lands 62, 64 of the control valve spool 50 have grooves to allow fluid to circulate when covering aperture 71 or 74 to prevent binding.

Abstract: 1,110,498. Electronic counters. MONSANTO CO. 10 Oct., 1966 [11 Oct., 1965], No. 45210/66. Heading G4A. Each stage of a Johnson-type ring counter comprises a single tunnel diode. A decimal counter, Fig. 1, comprises five counting tunnel diodes 11-15 and a conditioning tunnel diode 10. Initially 10 is in high-voltage-low-current state d, Fig. 2, so maintaining 11 at triggering threshold c while 12-15 are in low-voltagehigh-current state a. Input pulses at 16 act through transformer 20 to produce +ve pulses on upper triggering line 26 and -ve pulses on lower triggering line 28. Initially the latter have no effect. Successive pulses on line 26 switch 11-15 to point d. Tunnel diode 15 switches on transistor 52 which shifts conditioning tunnel diode 10 to point a. Diode 11 is now biased to point c and line 28 becomes operative in place of line 26 so that successive -ve pulses restore 11-15, so completing the cycle. In a modification, Fig. 3, anti-phase alternating currents 60, 62 are supplied to the anodes of odd- and even-numbered tunnel diodes 11-15, with 10 initially biasing 11 to turn to state d in response to the first +ve half-cycle on 60. Diodes 12-15 respond to successive +ve half-cycles on 62 and 60 after which 10 changes over so that the tunnel diodes respond in opposite sense to successive- -ve half-cycles.

The recesses (58) may be evenly or unevenly spaced apart to provide simultaneous or sequential tool removal respectively. Selective tool removal may be achieved by providing two sets of mutually perpendicular bars 52 so that each tool extension 48 is engaged by two mutually perpendicular bars 52. The apertures 38 may be perpendicular to the plane of the plate 34 or inclined at an acute angle to the perpendicular. The apertures 38 may be circular or irregular to ensure desired orientation of a tool.
