Title: Improvements in fumigating material
Filed: 1931-05-14
Abstract: A fumigating material comprises a substantially rigid and non-flexible cake or block of substantial size consisting of inert absorbent solids containing a predetermined amount of <PICT:0388408/III/1> liquid hydrocyanic acid absorbed therein.  The absorbent may be a fibrous material, such as paper pulp, which may be mixed with a binder such as gypsum.  Cotton waste, wood flour, wood pulp, sawdust, ground paper pulp or newspaper may also be used with a binder.  The gypsum is neutralized if necessary.  According to an example, 75 parts by weight of gypsum and 25 of bagasse flour are mixed dry, 0,5-1,0 per cent of cotton thread, hemp, hair or the like being added if desired, and 325 parts of water are added. The paste is cast into cakes in suitable moulds, and dried at about 45 DEG  C. A retarder is added if more than 5 minutes elapse between the mixing and the casting.  Discs 4 inches in diameter and \ba5/32\be inches thick are preferred, each of which absorb about \ba1/2\be oz. of hydrocyanic acid.  These discs 2 are packed in metal cans 1, preferably of heavy tin plate with slightly thinner domed ends, and the correct amount of hydrocyanic acid, which may contain stabilizing agents, and lachrymatory substances such as cyanogen chloride, is added.  The top is crimped on and the can made gastight, the top being removed with a can opener when the contents are required.  The cakes may be of any shape, for example oval or octagonal and may be perforated or corrugated.  Reference has been directed by the Comptroller to Specification 363,192, [Group V].

Title: Improvements in Apparatus for Moulding Hollow Articles from Paper Pulp and the like.
Inventor: THOMPSON HARRY JAY
IPC: D21J3/00
Filed: 1916-10-11
Abstract: 109,512. Thompson, H. J. Oct. 11, 1916. Moulding-machines.-In a machine for moulding hollow articles such as cans or containers from pulp, the male moulds 33 of foraminous material and corresponding in form to the interior of the article are lowered into the vat 64 and the pulp is deposited thereon by exhaustion of the air within the moulds. The moulds with the pulp thereon are then transferred to the interior of female moulds which are made in two parts 57, 58, Fig. 3, hinged together, and the articles are transferred from the male to the female moulds by annular blasts of air from splayed nozzles 34 containing spreadir.g cores 35. The male moulds having been removed, the articles are discharged from the female moulds into a receptacle 55 by turning the frame 53 carrying them about pivots 54. The machine is provided with a number of groups of moulds, such as that shown in Fig. 3, and most of the operations of the machine are performed by air suction or pressure. The frame 7 carrying the male moulds 33 is divided into two chambers 9, 10 by an horizontal partition 8, the chamber 9 being connected with a compressed-air supply controlled by a valve 51 and lever 52, and the chamber 10 with a suction pipe controlled by a valve 46 and lever 47. The nozzles 34 are provided with valves 37 carried by a spring plate 38 which may be operated to admit compressed air to the interior of the male moulds by a lever 40. The frame 7 is raised and lowered into the vat 64 by means of a compressed-air cylinder 3 and piston 4, compressed air being admitted to one side or the other of the piston by operating the valve 31 by means of a lever 32. The frame 7 is moved horizontally between the pulp vat 64 and the frame 53 and receptacle 55 by means of a reciprocating cable 21 operated by a compressed-air cylinder and piston 15, 16 similar to the cylinder and piston 3, 4 and connected with a valve 25 operated by a lever 26. The connections between the air valves and the moving parts are made by means of flexible tubes. The hinged parts of the female moulds which are in line with one another are connected to rods 59, and these to a cross-head connected with the piston of a compressed-air cylinder similar to those above described so that all the moulds may be opened or closed simultaneously.

Title: Circuit arragement for linearising the output signal of a test sensor
IPC: G01D5/00
Filed: 1977-04-06
Abstract: The circuit arrangement is used for linearising the output signals of sensors, the characteristic of which is nonlinear. A first function generator (1) generates a periodic voltage curve which linearly changes as a function of time in each period. A second function generator (2) generates a periodic voltage curve which has a variation which duplicates the shape of the sensor characteristic in each period as a function of time. The periods of the two function generators are of equal magnitude. A comparator (4) receives the output signal (UM) of the sensor at one input and the output voltage (U2) of the second function generator (2) at the other input. In each period, there is a time at which the output voltage of the second function generator is equal to the output signal of the sensor. When this equality is determined, the comparator (4) outputs an output signal which triggers the transmission of the instantaneous value of the output voltage of the first function generator (1), which is reached at the same time, to the output of the circuit arrangement. This instantaneous value is used as measurement value signal. <IMAGE>

Title: Improvements in or relating to devices for automatically adjusting spring winding machines to provide for production of springs of uniform length
IPC: B21F3/00
Filed: 1961-04-25
Abstract: 967,496. Measuring length. REGIE NATIONALE DES USINES RENAULT. April 25, 1961 [May 12, 1960], No. 14912/61. Heading G1M. [Also in Divisions B3, B8 and G3] The lengths of selected springs produced by a spring winding machine are checked by an electro-mechanical measuring device which produces a correcting signal to adjust the machine if the lengths are not within prescribed limits. As shown; springs produced by a spring winding machine 1 are delivered into a shoot 9 at the lower end of which are positioned a pivoted abutment member 13 and a normally open trap 16 through which the springs fall to a discharge shoot 10. At intervals predetermined by a camshaft driven by the machine 1 an electromagnet 15 is energized whereby the member 13 is raised and the trap 16 is closed so that one spring, e.g. from every six, is directed into a shoot 11 to be measured by a device 4 from which after measurement, the spring is ejected by an electromagnet 34 into a shoot 12. The device 4 comprises a V-shaped recess for receiving the spring 19 to be measured, a first horizontally disposed electromagnet 18 the armature 25 of which engages the tip 27 of a movable rod 26 having at its other end a pad 22 which pushes the spring against a stop member 20, and a second vertically disposed electromagnet for locking the spring in this position through a flexible blade 23. The armature 25 and an associated index 30 which carries a contact 31 can tilt about a vertical axis, the contact 31 being movable between fixed contacts 32, 33; if the spring 19 is too long or too short the movable contact 31 engages contact 33 or contact 32 whereby a corrective signal is delivered to the adjustment unit 5 which comprises a reversible motor actuating the pitch setting screw of the machine 1. The electromagnets 18, 21 and 34 are energized in the desired sequence by a selector mechanism which includes cams mounted on a shaft driven by the machine 1.
