Patent GB-1131639-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in or relating to the impregnation of paper tubes
IPC: B31B50/00
Filed: 1966-01-28
Abstract: 1,131,639. Coating apparatus. VYCHODOESKE PAPIRNY, NARODNI PODNIK. 28 Jan., 1966 [10 July, 1965], No. 3912/66. Heading B2L. In the impregnation of paper tubes, dried tubes fall from a tube-making machine on to a conveyor 3 and are fed thereby through an opening 18 to between adjacent carrying lugs 21 on entraining chains 6, 7. The latter are driven by chain wheels 8 and 23 (not shown) on shaft 13 rotated from the main shaft of the tube-making machine. The tubes are carried by the chains 6, 7 first into the molten impregnation bath. During this phase the motion of chain 6, carrying the tops of tubes 22 is delayed relatively to chain 7 carrying the bases of the tubes, so that the tubes leaving the bath in a vertical direction are in an inclined position. Delaying of chain 6 is effected by the shaft 14 being situated somewhat lower than shaft 28. In the course of vertical motion the tops of the tubes touch a guide rail so that droplets of impregnation are wiped from the tube tips. As the tubes move over chain wheels 10 and 31 (not shown) supported on shaft 15 in the upper section of casing 1, the tube tips are delayed behind their bases which results in the tubes falling from the chains, their bases in front, through chute 40 into the intake openings 58 of the rotor 41. This rotor together with a similar one below it is given an intermittent rotary motion such that a tube falling through opening 58 is laterally entrained by a cell 44 so that it moves along the circumference of a ring 48 with its base rubbing against the ring surface, whereby any excess impregnation substance is removed. After one revolution in rotor 41 the tubes fall, in turn, through a hole 50 into the lower rotor 42 and after one revolution therein they drop into a chute 53 whence they pass to a stacking device, means 57 ensuring that the tubes are fed to the stacking device, base foremost. The several chain wheels for chain 7 are mounted on the respective shafts by screw-thread means such that by holding the chain 7 and moving the chain 6 the spacing apart of the chains 6 and 7 can be varied to accommodate different size tubes. The whole impregnating device is housed in a casing 1 which is internally heated and provided with thermal insulation 25.

Title: Improvements in and relating to pen-holders
IPC: B43K23/004
Filed: 1924-02-15
Abstract: 222,374. M³ller, R. Feb. 15, 1924. Pens and penholders; facilitating writing.-In a penholder of the type provided with an extension b and a nib c adjustable to various angular positions, the point of the nib during adjustment describes a circle about the point of intersection z between longitudinal axis y, about which the holder will rotate in neutral equilibrium, and the axis of the nib socket, in order that there is a natural tendency to take up the correct writing-position at each adjustment. In any position of the nib, the concave face thereof faces the point z, so that, if the holder be held loosely in the hand with the nib point on the writing- surface, the weight of the holder will cause it to swing until the point z is directly below the nib. The insertion of the nib into the holder so that the point of the nib is in correct relation to the point z may be limited by a band f thereon, or a series of markings may be provided on the nib to enable it to be used in different holders. The nib may be secured in a cylindrical bore in the holder by a pin d, and a tongue may be pressed up from the shank of the nib to enable it to be held more firmly.

Abstract: 681,288. Stringed musical instruments. GOBLE, R. J. Feb. 16, 1951 [Feb. 17, 1950], No. 4119/50. Class 88 (ii). In a harpischord or like instrument, each plectrum 8 is carried by a tongue 12 pivoted at 14 to a key-operated jack 7 which also carries a damper 10 and a slidable plate 19. After plucking the associated string 3, the plectrum and jack complete their upward stroke, but the plate 19 is stopped by the engagement of a projection 22 with an abutment 24 secured to the jack guide 1, so that a protuberance 18 engages a projection 17 on the tongue 12 which is thereby rotated to a position, Fig. 7, such that the plectrum 8 does not touch the vibrating string 3 on the return stroke. The plate 19 is carried downward with the jack 7 until a shoulder 27 engages the jack guide 1. The jack moves on to its rest position and the projection 17 is disengaged from the protuberance 18, allowing a spring 15 to return the tongue 12 to its initial position, Figs. 4, 5.

IPC: G01R31/02
Filed: 1963-02-01
Abstract: 1,024,246. Testing cable insulation. HACKETHAL-DRAHT UND KABEL-WERKE A.G. Feb. 1, 1963, No. 4217/63. Heading G1U. An apparatus for the continuous wet run application of high test voltages to the insulation of an insulated cable comprises an earthed external container 1 surrounding an internal vessel 4 which is insulated from the container 1 and is partly filled with water. The vessel 4 is maintained at high voltage, the voltage being derived through a transformer 2. A channel member 5 is arranged in the upper part of the vessel 4. The cable under test is transported in the direction A through the channel member which is continuously filled with water circulated through the pipe 12 from the vessel 4 by a compressed airjet pump 7. The cable conductor is maintained at earth potential and flashovers indicating faults are detected by suitable arrangements. After the cable leaves the channel member 5 any water retained in the form of a film on the cable is blown off by means of compressed air from an annular nozzle 6 mounted around the cable outlet. Before entering and after leaving the container 1 the cable passes through earthed rollers 9a, 9b to ensure that it does not carry any stray charge and remains safe to handle. High transport speeds can be attained through the testing apparatus, so the cable may be tested continuously, as it is made, with the water serving also to cool the cable after its manufacture.

Abstract: 1380391 Valves IMPERIAL CHEMICAL INDUSTRIES Ltd 31 Jan 1972 [9 Feb 1971] 4257/71 Heading F2V A valve for controlling the flow of liquid to a plurality of filters and allowing isolation of any one filter to permit its replacement without interrupting the flow through the remaining filters, thereby ensuring a continuous flow of filtered liquid, comprises a rotor 13, Figs. 1 and 2, with a closure surface 23, a rotor 14, Figs. 1 and 3, with a closure surface 24, a primary feed duct 17, an annular chamber 15 with depending sub-feed ducts 20, a second annular chamber 16 with depending inlet ducts 22 and an outlet duct 18, and a passage 25 in rotor 14 leading to waste. By-pass passages 27, Fig. 2, are formed in the valve body. In use, the filters are connected between each of the ducts 20 and 22 and the rotors are arranged so that their closure surfaces 23 and 24 lie between, and therefore, leave all the ducts 20 and 22 open. The duct 25, in consequence, is closed. Fluid entering the valve through duct 17 passes through chamber 15 and ducts 20 to the filter and returns to the valve through passages 22. The separate flows from ducts 22 combine in chamber 16 and are led away through duct 18. To replace any one filter, the rotor 13 is turned so that closure surface 23 closes the corresponding duct 20 and by-pass 27, so cutting off flow to the filter. The rotor 14 is then turr ed to align the duct 25 with the duct 22 leading from the filter, and the filter is replaced. Rotor 13 is then turned a small amount so that fluid can flow through the by-pass 27, through the new filter, and finally to waste through duct 25. Rotor 14 is then turned to both close duct 25 and to enable the flow from the previously aligned duct 22 to empty into chamber 16 and re-combine with the fluid entering through the remaining ducts 22. Finally, rotor 13 is given a further turn to open the duct 20 leading to the new filter. A narrow, elongated port 19 in a liner 12 traps any particles of dirt flowing through the valve In another embodiment, Figs 6-10 (not shown) the two rotors are replaced by a single rotor with two closure surfaces.
