Title: Improvements relating to slicing machines
IPC: B26D7/32
Filed: 1931-02-12
Abstract: 362,768. Slicing-machines. NAAMLOOZE VENNOOTSCHAP MAATSCHAPPIJ TOT VERVAARDIGING VAN SNIJMACHINES VOLGENS VAIN BERKEL'S PATENT EN VAN ANDERE WERKTUIGEN and BERKEL, W. A. VAN, 33, Boezemsingel, Rotterdam, Holland. Feb. 12, 1931, No. 4397. [Class 28 (ii).] In a slicing- machine having stacking mechanism with a conveyer which turns bodily about an axis of rotation, the sliceengaging prongs, or some of them, are pivotally mounted and a r e associated with means for moving them out of their normal radial relationship into approximate parallelism for the slicedischarging operation. As shown in plan in the Figure, the arcuate conveyer 14 is revoluble on an axis 9, and the prongs 6a, 6c are each pivoted at 15 so as to be turnable from the dotted-line radial position in which the slice is impaled, to the full-line parallel position to facilitate the discharge of the slice by the fly. The prongs 6b are fixed. The prongs 6a are connected by a link 17 and the prongs 6c are similarly connected, both links 17 being interconnected by rods 18 having a roller 20 on their pivot pin and being connected by a tension spring 19. The roller 20 bears on a stationary cam 21 so that, at the sliceimpaling position the roller 20 is free to be moved radially inward by the spring 19, the prongs 6a, 6c being thus moved to the radial position. As the conveyer 14 moves to the discharge position, the roller 20 is forced outwards by the cam and moves the prongs into parallelism. The conveyer may oscillate or rotate intermittently.

Title: The manufacture of geranyl-acetone and dihydrogeranyl-acetone and of hexahydro-pseudoionone therefrom
Inventor: CHASE GEORGE OSWALD
IPC: C07C29/42
Filed: 1955-02-18
Abstract: Geranyl acetone and dihydro-geranyl acetone respectively are prepared by reacting an acetoacetic alkyl ester with geranyl chloride or bromide or with dihydro geranyl chloride or bromide respectively, in the presence of an alkali metal alkoxide and subjecting the resulting 3-carbalkoxy compound to a ketonic hydrolysis.  The methods may be used in a synthesis of hexahydropseudo ionone comprising reacting 6-methyl hepten-5-one-2 or 6-methyl heptanone-2 with an alkali metal derivative of acetylene in liquid ammonia solution and treating the product with an acid, partially hydrogenating the resulting acetylenic carbinol in the presence of a hydrogenation catalyst, e.g. nickel or palladium, which selectively reduces a triple bond to a double bond, reacting the resulting linalool or dihydro linalool with aqueous hydrogen chloride or bromide, converting the so-formed geranyl or dihydrogeranyl halide to geranyl or dihydro geranyl acetone as above described and then catalytically hydrogenating the resulting product as described in Specification 788,301 to hexahydro pseudo-ionone.  In examples: (1) linalool prepared as described in Specification 788,301 is reacted at 0 DEG  C. with aqueous HCl to form geranyl chloride which is reacted with ethyl aceto acetate in benzene containing sodium methylate as catalyst; the resulting 6 : 10 - dimethyl - 3 - carbethoxyundecadien - 5 : 9 - one - 2 is saponified in aqueous alcoholic KOH and the solution is then acidified and heated to yield geranyl acetone which is catalytically hydrogenated to hexahydro pseudo-ionone as described above; (2) 6-methyl heptanone-2 is converted in like manner via the dihydro geranyl chloride or bromide to dihydro geranyl acetone and thence to hexahydro pseudo ionone. Specification 735,828 also is referred to.

Filed: 1961-02-09
Abstract: 923,016. Thermonuclear apparatus; discharge apparatus. UNITED KINGDOM ATOMIC ENERGY AUTHORITY. Feb. 1, 1962 [Feb. 9, 1961], No. 4891/61. Classes 39 (1) and 39 (4). Plasma confinement apparatus comprises a vessel for containing a gas at low pressure, means for producing a radio-frequency rotating magnetic field within the vessel, and means for producing a stationary magnetic field within the vessel normal to the rotating magnetic field, the arrangement being such that the electrons in the plasma, but not the ions, rotate with the rotating field thereby constituting a current which reacts with the stationary field to concentrate the plasma away from the walls of the vessel. The angular rotation frequency # of the rotating field should be much greater than the ion cyclotron frequency and much less than the electron cyclotron frequency for that field, and the strength B of the field should be such that 2 (ne #/B)<SP>2</SP> << 1, where n is the number of ions per unit volume, e is the electronic charge, and # is the resistivity of the plasma. The strength of the stationary field B 0  should preferably be such that N 0 e# < B 0 , where No is the total number of electrons per unit length of the plasma. In the apparatus shown in Fig. 5, a glass tube 1 is surrounded by coils 8, 9 which produce a stationary axial field. A field perpendicular to the axis and rotating about the axis is produced by two pairs of parallel copper bars 2 and 3 joined at one end and arranged in mutually perpendicular planes to form a two-phase winding energized from capacitor banks 4 and 5 through spark gaps 6 and 7. The 90 degrees phase difference between the currents in the two windings is produced by firing one spark gap “ cycle after the other. It is suggested that loss of particles at the ends of the tube could be prevented by magnetic fields of the " magnetic bottle " type or by making the apparatus toroidal. In an experimental apparatus the vessel was filled with argon, xenon, neon, or helium at pressures of 1-50 microns.

Title: Improvements in or relating to sliding clasp fasteners particularly for aviators' suits and other wearing apparel
IPC: A44B19/38
Filed: 1941-04-22
Abstract: 550,802. Sliding-clasp fasteners. TAYLOR, E. H., and BAXTER, WOODHOUSE & TAYLOR, Ltd. April 22, 1941, No. 5200. [Class 44] In a sliding-clasp fastener particularly for use on garments such as aviators' suits in which rapid release is desirable by a lateral pull on the stringers the closing movement of the slider 5 is arrested by a resilient top stop 12 which offers sufficient resistance to arrest the slider against normal closure force applied thereto, but yields to extra force so that the slider may be moved beyond the fastening members 3, and the stringers 1, 2 separated by a lateral pull which draws stringer 1 through the side slot of the slider. Such a stop may be applied to one or both faces of one or both stringers. As shown the stop 12 is in the form of a bowed spring strip the ends of which are anchored beneath a plate 11 embracing the edge of and riveted to stringer 1 with the bowed part of the spring projecting through an aperture in the plate on one face of the stringer. Also, the fastener members on stringer 2 extend beyond those on stringer 1 up to a permanent stop 13 which arrests the slider when moved beyond the resilient stop 12, the slider being retained on stringer 2 when the stringers have been separated by lateral pull. The stringers shown are separable at their lower ends, being provided thereat with pin and socket means of known kind, the socket 6 having a flared mouth in which the slider rests when moved to the lower end of the stringers. After the stringers have been separated by lateral pull they 'may be re-united by moving the slider down to socket 6, inserting fitting 7 on stringer 1 in the usual way, and then moving the slider towards the closing position. In 'alternative constructions the resilient stop may be a bowed tongue struck from the material of plate 11 and remaining integral therewith or may be a domed projection pressed up from the plate. Fig. 18 shows a further modification in which the stop is a spring strip 27 disposed transversely and embracing the stringer edge, the ends 30 of the strip being anchored by passing them through apertures in plate 28 and bending them over- In this form the slider is arrested after clearing the fastener members, accidental lateral separation depending on the resistence of strip 27 which yields to a sufficiently strong lateral pull. The Specification shows fastener members of the above kind applied to a one-piece garment which can be opened out flat as described in Specification 407,445, [Group VII], and may have trousers supporting braces as described in Specification 550,801, [Group VII].
