Title: Improvements relating to cutting or slicing apparatus
IPC: B26D1/28
Filed: 1930-11-14
Abstract: 367,775. Cutting and slicing foodstuffs. SWIFT & CO., Union Stock Yards, Chicago, U.S.A. Nov. 14, 1930, No. 34309. Convention date, Aug. 13. [Class 5 (i).] In a machine for slicing, more particularly for loins and chops, the knife is in the form of a helical spiral and the faces of the knife are inclined with respect to the axis of the helix. This arrangement ensures that the thickness of the slice cut is less than the distance between the convolutions of the blade, and jamming is thereby avoided. As shown in Fig. 1, the knife 15 is mounted on a shaft 10 and the meat is fed along a tube 16 which may be arranged at an angle to the knife to ensure that the cut is transverse to the meat: The severed portions fall on a discharge belt 17. In Fig. 4, the pitch of the knife is adjustable to vary the slice thickness, this being effected by securing the knife in the convolutions of a coil spring 21 which is kept always under compression by an abutment ring 28. This ring carries a pinion 26 having a square hole 29 engageable by an operating tool. The pinion engages with teeth 25 on a sleeve 24 which is screwed into a member 22 carrying the spring 21. In order to ensure that the adjustment is uniform along the whole of the knife edge, the spring 21 is made weaker as the knife becomes stronger so that the resistance to flexure is uniform along the whole knife. The knife may be made in one or more portions. The Specification as open to inspection under Sect. 91 (3) (a) describes modifications wherein the plane of the knife sides varies in its inclination to the knife axis and the knife does not comprise a whole convolution of the helix. This renders a positive feed mechanism necessary, the feed being effected by a clamp integral with a nut on a feed screw or slidable on a bar by a yoke operated by the feed screw. The meat is fed towards the knife at an angle to the knife axis. Two short straight blades approximating to a helix are also described. This subject-matter does not appear in the Specification as accepted.

Abstract: 303,640. Eriksson, K. G. Dec. 19, 1927. Gate and like take-off hinges. -In order to adjust vertically the flap 2 relatively to the flap 1 that carries the hinge pin 4 its socket 5 is formed with an internal thread, and this thread is engaged by a screwed pin 8 having a knob with a sleeve 9 resting upon a sleeve 6 which surrounds the socket member 5. A metal piece 10 is rigidly secured to the sleeve 6 and it bears against the upper end of the pin 4 so that the parts 3, 6 are not in frictional contact. When the pin 8 is turned with its sleeve resting upon the sleeve 6 the flap 2 is raised or lowered.

Filed: 1974-08-05
Abstract: 1473004 Superconducting machines KRAFTWERK UNION AG 5 Aug 1974 [6 Aug 1973] 34468/74 Heading H2A The rotor of a dynamo-electric machine comprises a superconducting excitation winding 9 mounted on a carrier cylinder 8 disposed coaxially within a hollow, air-tight housing cylinder 1, there being a plurality of nested cylinders, e.g. 5, 6, 7, disposed coaxially between the housing and carrier cylinders, adjacent cylinders contacting one another over small contact areas which permit relative axial expansion or contraction of the cylinders while ensuring that the mounting of the carrier cylinder within the housing cylinder is radially resilient. The winding 9 is disposed between the carrier cylinder and an inner cylinder 16, the winding coil sides being held in position by circumferentially spaced and radially extending members engaged in respective recesses in the two cylinders, Figs. 5a, 5b and 5c (all not shown). Cryogenic fluid in axial duct 19 passes through apertures 20 in inner cylinder 16, passes through the end windings 21 and through axially extending ducts to the other end winding 22 and leaves through duct 23. A cold shield is formed by coolant fed to ducts 11 between one intermediate cylinder, e.g. 6, and an electrically damping cylinder 10 secured thereto. Some of the connections between adjacent cylinders comprise sliding surfaces 27, Fig. 3a, and interengaging teeth 28. Others include further a projection 30, Fig. 3c (not shown), on one cylinder engaging a groove (29) in the other cylinder. The former connections, Fig. 3a, permit relative axial movement of the two adjacent cylinders. The latter (Fig. 3c) provide an axial fix between the two cylinders. As shown the connections between respective pairs of adjacent cylinders are axially staggered so that the cylinders from a radially resilient mount for the carrier cylinder 8. The intermediate cylinders 5, 6, 7 are prestressed. They are under minimum stress during operation of the dynamo-electric machine.

Title: Bonded nonwoven webs of fibers
IPC: D04H3/16
Filed: 1965-08-12
Abstract: A bonded nonwoven sheet material comprises randomly disposed synthetic organic fibres or filaments interconnected at a multiplicity of points throughout the sheet.  Some at least of the fibres (the "matrix" fibres) have a breaking strength of at least 7 grams.  The fibre-to-fibre bonds have a strength greater than 0.1 gram and a mean strength of at least 0.9 gram but less than the breaking strength of the matrix fibres but with the bond strength distributed to have a variance of at least 4.  The number of bonds is such that the product of the number of bonds per cubic centimetre and the mean bond strength is greater than 5 x 104 g/cm3 and this product divided by the breaking strength of the matrix fibres is less than 9 x 103 per cm3.  In a preferred embodiment, the matrix fibres are of highly oriented isotactic polypropylene, polypropylene fibres of lower orientation ("binder" fibres) are also present, and self-bonds exist between matrix fibres, between matrix fibres and binder fibres and beween binder fibres.  The matrix and binder fibres may be separate fibres or zones of higher and lower orientation along single filaments.  In other embodiments, the fibres are bonded by a combination of two or more resinous binders of different adhesive properties, or by a single resinous binder with varying sizes of bond sites.  The binder may be applied from solution or dispersion, as a granular or powdery material or as binder fibres, and may be activated by heat.  Other filaments referred to are polyamides, polyethylene terephthalate and polyethylene.  The bonded sheet may be treated with a polar lubricant that is inert to the fibres, wets them and remains substantially on the fibre surface, e.g. a polysiloxane, 2-ethylhexyl silicate, 2-ethylhexyl sebacate, dioctyl sebacate, 2-ethylhexyl acetylcitrate, refined coconut oil, potassium oleate, potassium n-octyl phosphates, diethanolamine salts of alkyl hydrogen phosphates and mixed n-octyl beta-hydroxyethyl esters of phosphoric acid.  The lubricant can be applied by spraying, padding or roll-coating from an aqueous dispersion, solution in an organic medium, or without diluent.  The lubricated sheet may be tufted with conventional carpet yarns and the pile yarns locked in place with a latex adhesive to form a tufted carpets.  A secondary backing can be applied and stuck with the same adhesive.  Other uses for the unlubricated sheet are as a shoe liner, a coating substrate or for fibre-reinforced film.

Abstract: 1,135,366. Fuel elements. UNITED STATES ATOMIC ENERGY COMMISSION. 31 July, 1967 [18 Nov., 1966], No. 35078/67. Heading G6C. A fuel pellet for use in a rod-type fuel element comprises a cylinder of ceramic fuel having a plurality of longitudinal slots of depth substantially greater than width in its external lateral surface, the slots providing expansion room for pellet growth and thereby reducing the tensile hoop stress induced in the fuel element cladding by the pellet. The pellet may be annular and may have slots in both the internal and external lateral surfaces. In the case of an annular pellet, slot depths equal to about half the pellet thickness are desirable. The slots preferably have slightly rounded root portions so as to avoid initiating cracks in the case of an annular pellet but this is not important in the case of a solid pellet. Solid pellets should be provided with at least six slots, preferably eight to twelve, whereas four to six slots in each surface are sufficient for annular pellets. In the latter case, the slots in the internal surface are spaced angularly intermediate those in the external surface.
