Title: Wheelie bin interlock
Inventor: MUNRO WILLIAM
IPC: B65F1/00
Filed: 2009-12-03
Abstract: The application relates to a stability device or "interlock" to connect two or more wheelie bins together to make them more stable and less easily moved or toppled over. The interlock 1 attaches to wheelie bin handles 7 by means of clips and bridges one wheelie bin to an adjacent wheelie bin. An elongate member such as a pipe or bar, has two or more clips attached to it that grip onto the rear handles of a domestic wheeled bin and act to connect multiple bins together. The interlock 1 holds the host wheelie bin and adjacent wheelie bin by clips 2 which may be pipe clips, caddie clips or tube clips. The clips 2 may be secured to interlock 1 by anti-vandal screws 6 which pass through clips 2 and secure to plastic bar insert 4 which has pressed in threaded inserts 5 to capture clips 2. The wheelie bin interlock may also be sealed with end caps 3. Bins could be connected back to back but the preferred embodiment is for them to be connected side by side. The clips can be secured to the pipe/bar by screws and may be locked to secure the bins.

Title: Solenoid operated valve
Inventor: MAJOE DENNIS
IPC: F16K25/00
Filed: 2009-12-10
Abstract: A valve 30 comprises a chamber 32 having a first port 34, a valve seat 44 disposed within or formed by a wall of the chamber, and a tubular valve member 40 movable by a solenoid 38 and spring 46. A first end 42 of the valve member is movable relative to the valve seat between a closed position in which the first end of the valve member engages the valve seat, and an open position in which the first end of the valve member is spaced from the valve seat. The valve member leads from its first end to a second port 36 of the valve outside the chamber. The operating force required to open the valve is reduced compared to a similar valve with a solid valve member. The valve member acts as the armature of the solenoid.

Title: Modular chamber assembly
Inventor: MARKHAM LEE
IPC: B65D88/06
Filed: 2009-12-22
Abstract: A modular manhole chamber or like access chamber comprises at least one base portion having at least one projecting boss 33,34 which may be used as a spigot and a riser 16 compatible with a lid or manhole cover, the riser and at least one base portion being configured so as to nest on one another or be stackable. The at least one base portion and riser portion may be identical. The or each base portion preferably comprises a hollow annular moulding with a circumferential side portion incorporating one or more spigots, a top flange 19,21 and a bottom flange 20,22. The flanges may be shaped so that when assembled to form a modular chamber the bottom flange of one base portion is supported by the top flange of another base portion, the flanges being configured so as to allow the stacked base portions to be self-centring. Each spigot 41,43 may each comprise a series of substantially circular concentric bosses of differing diameter. A method for assembling a manhole or like chamber comprises stacking the required number of base portions onto a tank collar, placing a rider on top of the stack and joining the base sections, riser and tank collar in a fluid tight fashion, preferably using any one of electrofusion, chemical, heat or ultrasonic welding or bonding or bolts. The modular chamber is especially suited for use with subterranean fuel tanks or sumps, for example in petroleum forecourt installations and is cheaper to produce and easier to install than conventional installations.

Abstract: 751,888. Batteries. FLEXA INDUSTRIA MATERIE PLASTICHE SOC. PER AZIONI. April 6, 1954 [April 14, 1953], No. 10049/64. Addition to 700,934. Class 53. Separators made according to the parent Specification are provided with ribs which are reinforced on their surfaces by a permeable layer of plastic material or an inorganic substance such as a silicate to which bentonite gel or silica gel may be added to produce permeability. The plastic material may consist of phenolic, cresylic, vinyl, styrene or polyethylene resins, nitrocellulose, rubber or pitch which may be applied in solution to which may be added a small quantity of bentonite gel or silica gel. The reinforcing material may be applied to the ribs after their formation or it may be applied to the separator sheet along lines subsequently forming the ribs. Fig. 2 shows an apparatus for applying the reinforcing material comprising rollers C1, C2 having on their surfaces grooves and ribs respectively which engage the upper and lower surfaces of the ribs on the sheet D. A receptacle S contains the reinforcing material which is fed to the grooves in the roller C1 by which it is applied to the upper surfaces of the ribs. If the under surfaces of the ribs are to be treated a roller C3 dips into a vessel V containing the material and applies it to the ribs on the roller C2.

Title: Improvements in or relating to heating systems
IPC: G05D23/185
Filed: 1952-04-23
Abstract: 719,819. Fluid-pressure servomotor-control systems. ARMSTRONG MACHINE WORKS. April 23, 1952 [Oct. 1, 1951], No. 10208/52. Class 135. [Also in Group XIII]  In a heating system, a pump 7 circulates hot water derived from a boiler 1, through a radiator 2 and a valve, 8 of which a feed port 19, Fig. 2, is connected to a feed conduit 4, and a bye-pass port 20 is connected by a bye-pass conduit 16 to a return conduit 5. Moreover, a double valve member 24 coacts with both ports which communicate with the inlet 9 to the pump 7, a pressure bellows 32 actuating the valve member and having a valved connection 36 to the discharge of the pump, the bellows being subject to the pressure in the feed conduit 4 (by way of an opening 29) so that the valve member 24 is operated by the difference in pressure between the intake and the discharge of the pump when the valve 37 in the connection 36 is open. A spring 31 biases the valve 24 to the closure position of port 19 shown in Fig. 2. The valve 37 may be manually operated or solenoid-actuated under the control of a thermostat 3 in the space to be heated by the radiator 2 ; the valve, in turn, controls the bellows 32 and the movement of the valve member 24. Thus it is determined whether fresh hot water is drawn through the feed port 19 from the boiler 1 or water is drawn from the return conduit 5 and bye-pass conduit 16 without re-heating in the boiler. Manual valves 11 are provided in the feed conduit 4, bye-pass conduit 16 and the discharge conduit 10 from the pump 7. There is a connection 6 from the return line 5 to an expansion tank. The valve member 24 is moved, to close either of the ports 19, 20, by a stem 25 guided at its ends by a narrow portion 34 and a spider 35 respectively and is connected to the bellows 32. When the temperature of the heated space drops, the valve 37 is opened by the thermostat 3 and the pressure in the pump discharge conduit 10 acts by way of the connection 36 to depress the bellows 32 in a pressure chamber 26 to open the port 19. When the fresh heated water from the conduit 4 raises the space temperature, the thermostat 3 closes the valve 37 and the pressure inside and outside the bellows is equalized by leakage through an opening 39 at the top of the bellows. The spring 31 then closes the port 19.

Abstract: 653,908. Transformers and inductances. WESTINGHOUSE ELECTRIC INTERNATIONAL CO. April 20, 1948, No. 10857. Convention date, April 30, 1947. [Class 38 (ii)] [Also in Group XXII] A core for a transformer or other electric induction apparatus is formed from two sets of U-shaped laminations having unequal leg portions, the sets being assembled together so that the ends of the legs abut alternately at different levels. The laminations are sheared in varying lengths from magnetic steel strip, are re arranged to form a trapezoidal stack and then bent, as shown in Fig. 5, by a machine having a base 31, a pair of pivoted side-members 32, 33 and a mandrel 39. After annealing, the sets are rearranged and assembled as shown in Fig. 11, the ends of the legs abutting at 112 and 116. The lengths of the laminations may be graded so that either sharp equal corners 127, Fig. 11, are produced, or corners, see Fig. 14, of increasing radius inwards, or rounded corners, see Fig. 17, or so that a tolerance 137, Fig. 13, is allowed between the yoke portions in order to ensure abutting of the ends of the legs. By first bending one leg only of the U-shape, moving the laminations to separate the leg portions slightly, see Fig. 17, and then bending the other leg, a tolerance is provided on the leg portions to enable the sets to nest more easily.
