Title: Improvements in handle-grips for golf clubs and other sporting implements
IPC: A63B49/08
Filed: 1931-06-09
Abstract: 380,088. Handles for golf clubs &c. LORD, H., 17, Riversdale Road, Murrayfield, Edinburgh. June 9, 1931, No. 16728. [Class 132 (ii).] A wrapping band for the handle of a golf club, hockey stick, or other striking appliance used in games comprises a strip of rubber or other flexible material having a backing of fabric d and formed with a longitudinal ridge a integral with a parallel portion having spaced indentations, cavities or holes b, the band being adapted to be wound spirally around the handle without overlapping. The indentations &c. b are separated from one another by transverse ridges c to prevent the fingers from slipping. A plain outer wrapping of inextensible but pliable material may be wound over the ridged and indented band, or the band may be applied to a handle having recesses or ridges in or on its surface. The band may be attached to the handle at its ends only or over its full length and is preferably wound on itself to produce a bulge e at the outer end of the handle. Spaces may be left between the convolutions of the band.

Title: Method and apparatus for forming unit portions of frozen food materials
IPC: A22C7/00
Filed: 1973-04-06
Abstract: 1453031 Extruding frozen fish UNILEVER Ltd 19 Sept 1973 [21 Sept 1972 6 April 1973] 43751/72 Heading B5A [Also in Divisions A4 and A2] A method of forming unit portions of frozen food material comprises extruding the frozen food material to form a batch of planks of the frozen food material, bringing each batch to a shear press and shearing each plank in turn into the unit portions. Apparatus for forming the unit portions consists of a multi-lane extruder 1, Fig. 1, having a high-pressure barrel 3, a piston 4 for pressurizing frozen food in the barrel 3 up to 350 kg./cm.<SP>2</SP>, a multi-lane extrusion die 5, a movable support 6 for the extruded planks and a shear mechanism 7 for severing the planks from the frozen food in the barrel 3, a shear press 21, Fig. 3, having a magazine for accepting the planks, and a feeding mechanism 25, 27 for feeding the planks individually to a shear tool which has upper and lower castellated intermeshing jaws 22, 23 for shearing the planks into individual portions. The recessed portions 22b, 23b of the castellated jaws house spring-biased clamps 29, 30 whose surface is normally flush with the surface of the jaws 22, 23. In operation the planks are clamped by movement of the jaws 22, 23 before being sheared by them. A conveyer moves the sheared portions away against a brake 28. A sensor 8 senses when the innermost, and normally the shortest, plank is extruded to a given minimum length before operating the shear mechanism 7. This produces planks of unequal length, which are then trimmed by a trimming tool (15), Fig. 2 (not shown) while being carried by a conveyer (13), in an alternative embodiment.
Patent GB-167514-A (GB)
Abstract: 167,514. Baynes, F. W., and Mechanical Supplies, Ltd. Feb. 17, 1920. Relay devices.-Sound waves and other vibratory movements are amplified by applying the initial movement to an intermediate point of a bow or toggle-shaped strip, thus causing one or both ends of the bow or toggle to move through a less distance but with increased pressure. A friction relay device is brought into action by this increased pressure. Multiple amplification may be effected by employing a number of the devices in series. Fig. 1 shows a metal strip A bent at b to form a virtual hinge, and stamped up at c to render the side members rigid. As shown in Fig. 2, the strip A is connected at its centre by a link h to a primary diaphragm i and carries brake pads d at its ends bearing on rotary discs e. The pads d are connected by rods j to a secondary diaphragm k, which is vibrated in accordance with the primary vibrations by the frictional drag of the discs e on the pads d. The rods j may be connected to a spring-controlled lever operating a second toggle similar to A, which has its brake pads connected to the secondarv diaphragm. Fig. 5 shows multiple arrangement using five toggle strips A all bearing on one pair of rotating discs e, the pads of each toggle being connected through a spring-controlled lever to the centre of the next toggle, and the last pair of brake pads being connected to the secondary diaphragm k. Figs. 7 and 8 show another form of friction relay in which the toggle A rocks a stirrup-shaped member 2 about a pivot 7 carried on a weighted block 8 pivoted on a horizontal pin 9. The stirrup has two brake pads 3, 4 resting on a horizontal rotary disc 6, and when the toggle is operated the pressure on one or other pad is increased. The dragging action of the disc 5 turns the stirrup 2 about a vertical axis and operates a secondary diaphragm 12 through a rod 11. This rod 11 may operate a second toggle strip connected to a second stirrup and so on, giving multiple amplification. In a modification shown in Fig. 10, one end of the toggle strip A is fixed and the other end connected to an arm 13 carrying a brake d at its outer end, lying between two oppositely-rotating discs e, e'. The strip A may be connected to a primary diaphragm, or the primary sound waves may act directly on the strip. The secondary diaphragm 12 is connected to the rod 13. Fig. 12 shows a phonograph sound box in which a stylus 16 operates the toggle strip A, and the pads d are attached by links 17 to the diaphragm. In a modification the connecting cord 15 passes through a long tube, pivoted at one end on a vertical pivot, the strip A and the diaphragm not partaking of the movement of the stylus across the record. The primary diaphragm may in all cases be operated electromagnetically, and the secondary diaphragm may he replaced by a contact lever for telegraphy, &c., or a lever operating a mirror or shutter for giving a visual or photographic record uf the vibrations. The apparatus may also be employed at the receiving station of a system for the telegraphic transmission of pictures &c.
