Labelling mechanism.-Necked or shouldered boxes made in the manner described in the parent Specification are provided with gummed labels which may be provided with flaps that cover the whole of the vertical sides of the box and in this case the boxes are not provided with edge enclosing strips, the flaps of the labels serving the purpose thereof. As shown in Figs. 1 and 3, the labels 10 are contained within a magazine 9 and the lowermost label is bent down by a rockable suction head 13 so that it can be taken by a reciprocating gripper 14 and drawn over a gumming roller 17 and positioned with its gummed side above a box W held by resilient plates within one of a series of recesses 3 in a turntable 4. The box is delivered to a recess in the turntable by a plunger 2 working in a channel 1 to which the box is delivered from the shaping channel S and from the box-receiving position the turntable carries the box to the label-receiving position over a plunger 15 and beneath a plunger 18 working in a channel 8. The plunger 15 pushes the box and label into the channel 8 where the side portions of the label are turned down against the sides of the box and the label is smoothed and pressed on to the top of the box by the plunger 15. The plunger 15 then recedes and the plunger 18 pushes the labelled box back into the recess in the turntable which carries the box over a plunger 20 by which it is fed into a channel 21 and provided with the edge closing strip 23; the box is then transferred to the means for cutting the strip along three sides, opening the lid and removing the forming block. When the labels have side flaps for covering the whole of the vertical faces of the box, the box W as it is pushed from the channel 1 by the plunger 33, Fig. 6, encounters the gummed label 29 and engages a spring-pressed plunger 34. Further movement of the plungers carries the box and label past bars 35 which turn down two opposite flaps of the label against the sides of the box, and folding fingers 36 then turn the end extensions of such flaps against the ends of the box. The box is then carried into a recess 40 in the turntable 4 where the end flaps of the label are turned down against the ends of the box, and the turntable, in its next movement, carries the box between another pair of plungers where it is pushed partly out of the recess and the parts of the side and end flaps of the label projecting below the box are turned in on to the bottom thereof. The labelled box is then carried by the turntable to the means which cut the label around three sides, opens the lid and removes the forming block.

A burner using liquid fuel such as kerosene supplied under pressure from a container 1 is connected at 2 through valve A to a liquefied gas container 3 the gas from which is combustible and the pressure of which is used to feed the liquid fuel through line 5 and valves E, F, G to a burner nozzle 8. The container 3 is also connected through line 4 and valves B, C, G to a separate or pilot nozzle 7 adjacent to the nozzle 8, the combustion of the gas e.g. propane serving at the start-up of the heater to preheat the burner head and thus when valves E, F and G are opened to vaporize and ignite the liquid fuel. Valve G is thermostatically controlled so that after ignition of the liquid fuel the supply of combustible gas is reduced or maintained at pilot level as necessary; if the flame from the nozzle 8 dies down, valve G operates to increase the supply of combustible gas to the nozzle 7. Alternatively the supply of gas may be cut off after a flame has been established. The burner is provided with a coil 6 through which the liquid fuel flows to the nozzle 8 being heated and vaporized thereby and a tubular member 9 disposed in line with the flame from the nozzle 8 is arranged to direct the flame on to the coil 6. In a modification, Fig. 4 (not shown), the burner is provided with spaced plates between which the liquid fuel flows and on to which the flame is directed.

Title: Improvements in or relating to the production of artificial sausage casings
Inventor: FOX BERNARD VICTOR
IPC: A22C13/00
Filed: 1954-10-20
Abstract: Purified calcium alginate sausage casings, free from water-soluble impurities and while in the gel state, are subjected to a drying treatment to reduce their water-content to a value less than 50 per cent by weight of the dried casings, and are then rehumidified by treatment with water until they become saturated with water, whereby their mechanical properties in the water-wet condition are improved. Drying may be effected by passing the casings over heated rollers or by inflating the casings and passing them through a tubular drying oven.  Rehumidification may be effected by passing the casings through a bath of water or by spraying them with water.  In an example, aqueous sodium alginate is extruded through an annular orifice into an aqueous coagulating bath containing calcium chloride and hydrochloric acid.  The so-formed tubular casing is then treated in an aqueous calcium chloride bath to effect conversion into calcium alginate, then washed, dried on rollers heated to 70 DEG C. to reduce its water-content to 8 per cent by weight and finally rehumidified in water.  The Provisional Specification refers also to the treatment of casings consisting wholly or mainly of alginic acid. Specifications 548,248 and 552,770, [both in Group IV], are referred to.

Title: Improvements in ward-leonard control systems
Inventor: BOND HAROLD WILLIAM
IPC: H02P7/34
Filed: 1960-09-05
Abstract: 920,931. Control of D.C. motors. ASSOCIATED ELECTRICAL INDUSTRIES Ltd. Nov. 30, 1961 [Sept. 5, 1960], No. 30537/60. Class 38 (3). [Also in Group XXXV] In a Ward-Leonard system the speed of the motor is controlled up to a given value by maintaining constant the field current of the motor and varying the voltage applied to the armature of the motor, and thereafter by variation in the field current of the motor at a constant armature voltage. As shown, a Ward-Leonard system comprises a generator driven, for example, by an induction motor (not shown), and a motor M to which is coupled a tacho-generator GT. The output voltage of the generator is regulated to control the speed of the motor in accordance with a reference voltage'applied to a resistance network RN which also receives the tacho. generator voltage. The difference voltage in the network is applied over an amplifier A1 to the field winding FG of the generator and results in the necessary field current being supplied to produce the correct generator voltage for turning the motor M at the desired speed against a given load. The reference voltage is also applied to a control circuit 1, the output of which controls, over an amplifier A2, the current in the field winding FM of the motor M. If the field current is maintained constant the speed of the motor can be varied, as described, by varying the reference voltage and hence the excitation of the generator. Under such control, however, excessive armature voltages may be developed at higher speeds. At a certain speed, therefore, the control circuit 1 commences to reduce the field current of the motor according to a curve of generally hyperbolic form (Fig. 2, not shown). The circuit 1 includes a plurality of potential dividers successively brought into operation by changes in the value of the reference voltage, and suitable arrangements which utilize transistors are described with reference to Figs. 3 and 6 (not shown).
