Abstract: 1,091,671. Filling and enrobing bakery products. SPILLERS Ltd. and P. W. R. EGGITT. May 6, 1964 [Feb. 7, 1963; Nov. 22, 1963], Nos. 5103/63 and 46143/63. Heading A2A. [Also in Divisions A4] Bakery products (e.g. cakes and buns) are filled by puncturing a plurality of holes in a surface of each product and injecting the filling through the holes. The filled product may then be enrobed. The filling material may be cream and/or jam; the enrobing material, icing or chocolate. A suitable filling device comprises injection tubes 48 connected to supply chamber 40 to which the filling material is supplied froma filling machine (not shown) by a pneumatically, mechanically or electrically operated piston-type pump 20. The tubes are arranged so that more than one puncture each product to be filled. The injection tubes may have open, closed, straight or pointed ends. With closed ends, the tubes are provided with apertures along their length. The supply chamber may take the form of a circular cavity with tubes extending therefrom. The supply chamber 40 is connected to a source of air or vacuum by pipe 14 so that the injection tubes are purged by a blast of air or vacuum before being removed from a product after the filling has been injected to prevent seepage of filling from the tubes on removal from the product. The steps of filling and purging, may be controlled automatically. The products may be carried on a conveyer through a filling station and then a coating station. At the filling station there is relative movement between the products and the conveyer.

Title: Loud speaking telephone systems
IPC: H04M1/60
Filed: 1945-03-08
Abstract: 597,893. Loud - speaking telephone systems. AUTOPHON AKT.-GES. March 8, 1945, No. 5809. Convention date, Dec. 21, 1942. [Class 40 (iv)] The substation amplifiers of a loud-speaking telephone system can be used for local purposes, e.g. programme or gramophone reproduction, but may still be responsive to audio-frequency calling currents from the exchange. In order to amplify local signals fed in at terminal 2, terminals 3 and 4 are connected so that U operates over its high resistance winding U# from battery fed over the phantom of line a, b, thereby energizing the amplifier V and connecting the transducer EW thereto to act as a receiver. Relay E does not operate in series with U#. Incoming calls are heralded by a burst of A.C. followed by continuous D.C. over the phantom, the A.C. operating relay E over condenser CI and the D.C. holding it over its own contact. Relay E connects the amplifier to the exchange over the transformer Ue and also keeps the amplifier energized independent of relay U which now functions to control the speaking direction of the amplifier. A subscriber may initiate a call without separately disconnecting the local service merely by dialling, the off-normal contacts of the dial causing the initial operation of E. In a modification, the relay U may be set mechanically to the " receive " position when local reproduction is required, a mechanical interaction with relay E effecting its release when the latter operates. The equipment may be used with EW as a transmitter for dictation purposes if a manual switch is provided across e/u, the switch AS being modified to cause the dictated speech to be sent out over terminal 2. In Fig. 5 (not shown), the terminals 3 and 4 are closed by a relay actuated from the exchange to enable announcements made from the exchange over a common line to be received by a subscriber. Specification 608,850 is referred to.
