Patent GB-2037616-A (GB)
Title: Method of applying images to soap
IPC: C11D17/04
Filed: 1978-12-19
Abstract: A method of applying an image to soap in solid form comprises preparing an image as a sandwich of a lacquer backing sheet, a printed ink image thereon and a lacquer covering layer. The image sandwich is attached to the soap by a suitable water-insoluble adhesive. A liquid coating of paraffin wax and a suitable hardening agent is applied over the image sandwich. The hardening agent comprises from 5 to 18% by volume of the coating composition. The composition is then allowed to dry to produce the finished article. The paraffin wax coating is insoluble to water so that the image is protected and remains intact throughout the life of the soap. The coating also serves to protect the image during packaging and transportation.

Title: Fruit collecting and separating apparatus
IPC: A01D51/00
Filed: 1979-11-09
Abstract: An apparatus for collecting fruit or the like and separating it from debris comprises a rubber-blade paddle wheel (21) which picks up both fruit and debris from the ground and projects them towards an elevator belt (22). On the way to the elevator belt (22) both fruit and debris strike an array of fine strands (34) which are suspended from a wall (41) of the apparatus. The strands are chosen to be such that they will not substantially alter the trajectory of the fruit, which continues to the elevator belt (22). The debris, such as leaves, is, however, substantially affected by the strands (34) and falls below the elevator belt (22). Any debris remaining with the fruit is separated by means of an inclined rubber spined belt (not shown) on to which the fruit and remaining debris are delivered by the elevator belt (22). <IMAGE>

Patent GB-2043432-A (GB)
Title: Vacuum cleaner
IPC: A47L5/28
Filed: 1980-02-18
Abstract: A vacuum cleaner has an air duct 7 forming the major part of an airway between suction inlet 5 of the cleaner and impeller housing 8, having an outlet 19 leading to a dust-collecting container (not shown). The airway passes through chamber 11 and the dust-laden air in passing through the chamber is caused to change direction through a right angle between the entrance to the chamber at neck part 10 of the air duct and chamber exit 17 into the impeller housing 8. The change of direction causes heavy objects to drop out of the air stream into a well in the lower part of the chamber 11. Separation is assisted because the chamber 11 forms an expansion chamber through which the air velocity is reduced. End wall 14 opposite the entrance to the chamber at neck 10 is shaped to direct down into the well objects which strike it. Removable trap 16 is provided in the base of the well. <IMAGE>

Title: Locking device for a belt retractor in safety belts
IPC: B60R22/40
Filed: 1981-02-11
Abstract: An emergency locking seat belt retractor includes an inertia sensor, a trip lever responsive to the sensor and a driver finger 71 on the trip lever. A separate locking pawl 4 engageable with a ratchet wheel 3 is provided in the retractor and includes a pin which is normally spaced from the driver finger 71 by a distance 'a'. Sudden vehicle deceleration causes sensor ball 6 to move so pivoting lever 7 to position tip 72 in the path of the teeth of plastic trip wheel 8, which deceleration also sets in motion by unwinding of the belt. Finger 71 now contacts pin 9 and so rotation of wheel 8 is transmitted via this pin 9 to locking pawl 4, so that its teeth 41 engage ratchet wheel 3 to halt its rotation and so lock the seat belt. An acceleration sensor may additionally be provided, acting directly on trip lever 7. <IMAGE>

Patent GB-2073160-A (GB)
Title: Tamper-indicating Screw Cap for Necked Containers
IPC: B65D41/34
Filed: 1981-03-23
Abstract: A tamper-indicating screw cap suitable for wine bottles is of the kind which tears on unscrewing the same after the cap has been spun on the bottle. The cap is provided with a skirt GO not fastened during the spinning operation to the bottle neck, but attached via a score line to a band FA itself provided with an axially extending score line LT. When cap portion PV is removed by unscrewing, either band FA and skirt GO are removed at the same time or cap PV and band FA only, depending on the particular construction. In the latter case, the skirt GO is left on the bottle neck, but is unattached thereto and so can be easily removed. <IMAGE>
Patent GB-2073515-A (GB)
Title: Frequency locked loop
IPC: H03L7/081
Filed: 1981-03-24
Abstract: A frequency-locked analog loop having a high degree of frequency stability includes a phase-locked loop comprising a phase comparator (1), a low-pass filter (2) and a voltage-controlled oscillator (3) from which the output di is derived. The phase-locked loop also includes a multiplexer (4) with a step-adjustable delay line (5) so that any out-of-phase condition detected by the comparator (1) adjusts the phase of the signal in the loop. The delay introduced (4, 5) is controlled by an up-down counter (9), a phase-shift detector (8) and the phase comparator (1) output so as to compensate any phase shift in the input signal without appreciable variation of the oscillator frequency. This phase shift control circuit operates with a shorter time constant than the loop and is enabled by a lock detector 10 only in the synchronised state of the loop. <IMAGE>
