Patent GB-2103702-A (GB)
Title: Locking bolt for movable dividing walls
Inventor: KRAMER KARL-GERD
IPC: B61D45/00
Filed: 1982-03-10
Abstract: In covered railway wagons having side doors which can be opened at least as far as half the wagon length, dividing walls serve as partition walls to secure the cargo during transportation. These dividing walls are locked by means of locking bolts which are housed in a holding device in the dividing wall, the locking bolts engaging in perforated or notched rails fitted in the wagon. In order to reduce the dead load of the railway wagon and to increase its load carrying capacity, the locking bolt consists of a solid pin (15), for engaging with the perforated or notched rail, and a reduced-weight shaft (16). The pin (16) is provided with flattened faces (17) extending transversely to the longitudinal axis of the wagon, and the shaft (16) is hollow. Due to the fact that there are a great many of these locking members, the dead weight of a coupled train can be substantially reduced. <IMAGE>

Title: Portable electrical power supplies
Inventor: UMER ASHRAFF ALLEN
IPC: H02J7/02
Filed: 1982-03-24
Abstract: A portable electrical power supply designed to power portable domestic appliances like video recorders, comprising a rechargeable lead-acid gel battery 20, 21 an overload cut-out switch 7, a switch 25 and a flexible lead terminating in a plug 23.

Title: Production of alginate fibres
Inventor: TONG DAVID PHILIP
IPC: A61L15/28
Filed: 1982-08-13
Abstract: A process for producing dried alginate fibre material, in which wet spun insoluble alginate fibres are overlaid in a sheet 25 onto a more slowly moving liquid permeable conveyor 26 and are subjected to a dewatering drying operation, includes special treatment to eliminate or reduce bonding of the overlaid fibres at their points of contact or intersection. This is accomplished preferably by passing the dried sheet or web 50 that is produced through successive pairs of rollers 40, 42, driven at different speeds so as to pull the individual fibres longitudinally and break any existing inter-fibre bonds. Also, prior to and during initial drying of the sheet of wet fibres application thereto of external mechanical forces is avoided and alcohol exchange to remove water may be used. The rollers 40, 42 may advantageously produce a stretch-breaking effect. The alginate fibre material produced is particularly suitable for making up medical or surgical dressings and the like. <IMAGE>

Title: Miniaturized unit fuel injector
Inventor: PERR JULIUS P
IPC: F02M57/02
Filed: 1982-12-03
Abstract: A unit injector (2) of the cam actuated, open nozzle type is disclosed in which an extremely compact injector body (4) has a minimum number of internal flow passages (66, 72) designed to reduce the complexity and cost of manufacture of the injector and in which the injector is actuated by a cam lobe (42) having a stepped profile for causing fuel to be metered into an injection chamber (52) of the injector (2) without blow back of gas into the supply passage (66) feeding fuel to the injector. The invention is characterized by an injector body (4) having an exterior shape designed to form a fuel supply flow path (22) and an isolated fuel drain flow path (24) between the exterior surface of the injector body (4) and the interior surface of the recess (6) in which the injector (2) is designed to be received. This arrangement allows a very simple pattern of radial passages (66, 72) to be formed in the injector body (4) even though the injector (2) is designed to provide scavenging fuel flow previously requiring a much more complex injector design. <IMAGE>

Title: Rope cleaner
Inventor: SKELTON ALAN WILLIAM
IPC: B63B21/14
Filed: 1983-12-06
Abstract: The cleaner has a number of split collars that are clamped closed on the rope and are equipped with equiangularly-spaced arrays of tools, in the form of brushes and picks or spikes, directed radially inward to contact the rope surfaces. The tools are adjustable radially in the collars to suit different sizes of rope and may be locked in the radial positions to which they are adjusted or spring-loaded. The collars bear endwise against one another and against a frame which is anchored by chains so that the wire rope can be winched through the collars. If a first collar has spikes engaging in the helical grooves of a rope the collar will rotate as the rope is pulled through and a second collar equipped with brushes can also be caused to rotate by being clutched to the first collar. Scraper plates to scrape the rope surfaces are clamped to the ends of the collars. <IMAGE>

Title: Impregnated paper and a method for its production
Inventor: INGE MATS
IPC: C08K3/26
Filed: 1985-04-02
Abstract: The paper contains a pre-condensate phenolic resin in which free carbon dioxide-containing bubbles are present and is manufactured by impregnating a paper with an aqueous impregnating solution of a phenol/formaldehyde pre-condensate containing a carbonate, followed by drying and partial curing of said pre-condensate under conditions which result in release of carbon dioxide containing bubbles. The paper may be laminated to plywood by hot pressing to complete curing of the resin. The carbon dioxide provides a combination of long shelf-life for the impregnated paper and rapid completion of the curing.
Patent GB-2157731-A (GB)
Title: Device for dispensing a sanitizing composition
Inventor: WRIGHT REGINALD PETER
IPC: E03D9/02
Filed: 1985-04-18
Abstract: The invention relates to a device for dispensing a dose of a sanitizing composition to flush water in a cistern. The device comprises a chamber to contain a slow-dissolving solid sanitizing composition communicating with two tubes of different bore. A first tube has the greater bore and extends upwardly from the chamber to an extent greater than the second tube, and the tubes are arranged such that when the device is disposed resting within a full cistern the chamber communicates with a charge of water in the cistern through the second tube and a body of water can be tapped from within the cistern by the second but not the first tube each time the cistern is refilled following a discharge of flush water. In that way the chamber and the first tube are supplied with a charge of water which within the chamber can dissolve solid sanitizing composition to form a concentrated aqueous dose. Also, the volume of water held within the first tube in that portion thereof which extends above the second tube is chosen as a sufficient fraction of the volume of water held in the chamber to provide the desired dose volume in a range of situations. In addition, the open ends of the tubes within the chamber are disposed in relation to each other and the base of the chamber so that the dose volume expelled from the chamber when water passes from the first tube into the chamber is at least only minimally diluted by that water.
