Title: Apparatus for the removal of liquid by pressure from fish in containers
IPC: B30B9/06
Filed: 1945-10-25
Abstract: 601,091. Preserving fish. BORG, E. M. Oct. 25, 1945, No. 28185. [Class 49] [Also in Groups I and II] Apparatus for the removal of intracellular liquid from edible parts of fish in containers comprises a pad 15, Fig. 1, for supporting an open fish-filled container, a pressure head mounted on a plunger in axial alignment with the container, means for pressing the head against the contents of the container, and means for intermittent momentary reduction of the liquidextracting pressure during the extracting period. For example, open cans C of the fish are placed successively by means of a timing wheel 67 and a pocketed rotary wheel 68 on to pads 15 of a ring thereof in a revolving turret 10, and, upon the placing of a can upon a pad, there is a downward movement of a pressure head 43 into the can by the engagement of a cam roller 45 on the plunger 42 of the pressure head with an inclined portion 48 of a cam rail 46, which inclined portion is provided with relief recesses 48<1>, Fig. 10. When the pressure is being applied the container is preferably spun, e.g. by rotating the pad 15 by the engagement of a wheel 20 on the stem 16 of the pad 15 with a driven wheel 21. Before removal of the can from the revolving turret by the wheel 68, the pressure head is lifted through the agency of the cam rail 46. Cans are hermetically sealed after treatment. Cup-like paper cartons d containing edible parts of fish, Fig. 9, are supported in a recess formed by the walls 15x of a modified supporting pad 15 during the pressure and spinning period and are then pushed out of the recess by the upward movement of a pad 98. Fish in such paper containers is retained in cold storage. The apparatus may be mounted in a vacuum chamber 65.

Title: Improvements in cation-exchange resins
Inventor: KRESSMAN THEODORE ROGER ERNEST
IPC: C08F8/40
Filed: 1953-10-13
Abstract: Cation-exchange resins are made by introducing phosphonic acid groups into a halo-methylated copolymer of a compound containing one double bond and a cross-linking agent, by reacting the halo-methyl groups with phosphorus tri-chloride in the presence of a Friedel-Crafts catalyst and hydrolysing the phosphorus chloride groups thus introduced into the resin.  Preferred copolymers are those of styrene and/or acenaphthylene and divinyl benzene, di-vinyl ketone or dibenzyl.  Preferably, the copolymer, which may be in bead form, is swollen, e.g. with nitrobenzene or phosphorus trichloride, before the reaction with phosphorus trichloride.  Hydrolysis may be effected by heating with acid or alkali in aqueous, e.g. sodium hydroxide, or non-aqueous solution.

Title: Improvements in and relating to plastic moulding machines
IPC: B29C43/00
Filed: 1953-10-13
Abstract: 731,652. Dispensing measured quantities of powder. COOK & WILLIAMS PROPRIETARY, Ltd., F. L. Oct. 13, 1953 [Oct. 22, 1952], No. 28223/53. Class 106 (5). [Also in Group V] A device for feeding powder or pellets to a compression-moulding machine (see Group V) comprises a unit E10, having an arm Ell pivoted on post 11. The unit is swung from the inoperative position of Fig. 4 to the operative position of Fig. 5 by a link E12 which connects it to a crosshead 17. Powder falls from a hopper into a barrel E28 where it is agitated by fingers E35 secured to a spider E33 having ratchet teeth E34 which are engaged by detent E39 which imparts a relative movement to the spider as the barrel swings. From the barrel the powder falls through apertures E29 in the bottom of the barrel into adjustable measuring chambers E19 formed between plates E17 and E18, the powder resting on a plate E15. The value of each chamber may be adjusted by means of a screw E27 which moves E17 to or from E18, and by a screw E24 which bulges out a rubber sleeve E21. A spring E30 presses the barrel on to plate E17. As the unit E10 approaches the limit of its inward movement a striker E42 on barrel'E28 engages post 12, whereby the barrel pivots counter-clockwise about sleeve E26 and its discharge openings are misaligned with the measuring chambers E19. This pivoting movement of the barrel unlocks the measuring unit E17, E18 from bottom plate E15, by means including a cam E43 on the barrel. The measuring unit is then turned counterclockwise, to register the chambers with apertures E16 in plate E15, whereupon the powder falls into mould cavities in member 13. This counterclockwise movement is effected by a pull on cable E48 which is wound around plate E18, the pull being applied by a cam on shaft C14; when the cam releases the cable the latter (and the measuring unit) is pulled back by a spring E49. When crosshead 17 swings into the moulding position a tie rod E56 turns the barrel clockwise to restore it to the filling position shown in Fig. 20 and the measuring unit is again locked to plate E15 by pawl means.

Title: Improvements in or relating to spring operated door checks or controllers
IPC: E05F1/10
Filed: 1936-10-17
Abstract: 478,017. Door-operating appliances. GIBBONS & CO. (WILLENHALL), Ltd., GIBBONS, F., and GIBBONS, G. Oct. 17, 1936, No. 28249. [Class 65 (i)] In a door-closing device of the kind in which a spring 7 in a cylinder 2 is compressed, when the door is opened, by a flexible member or chain 6 passing axially through the spring and has one end abutting against the spring and the other attached to the door-post, the cylinder 2 is formed of sheet metal and attached (by tabs 3) to a fixing plate 4 formed with a hole, the edge of the hole being flanged inwardly at 5 to form a rounded surface over which the chain 6 slides and also to form an abutment for the spring 7. In the form shown, the chain is attached to the door-post by a loop member 10 which is inserted into the post through a perforated facing plate 12 and is fixed by a removable pin 14. In order to prevent the member 10 from being drawn into the cylinder 2 when the pin 14 is extracted, a plate with an open-ended slot may be slid over the last link of the chain adjacent to the member 10 to cover the hole in the plate 4. In a modification, avoiding the use of this retaining plate, the member 10 is formed by a screw-threaded pin having an eye at one end to receive the pin 14 and a flattened part at the other end for pivotal connection to the chain 6, the threaded part of the pin carrying a' nut which will not pass through the hole in the plate 4.

Title: A process for producing energy from fissile material
IPC: B04C5/12
Filed: 1961-08-03
Abstract: 957,955. Reactors. SIEMENS-SCHUCKERTWERKE A.G. Aug. 3,1961 [Aug. 3, 1960], No. 28284/61. Addition to 933,225. Heading G6C. Critical zones of particulate nuclear fuel are formed in a reactor vessel by means of forced vortex flow of a coolant, the coolant being injected tangentially and at an oblique angle into the vessel so as to form a potential flow (v # kr<SP>-1</SP>) having axial and angular components of velocity, and by means of a rough ground (a point in the potential flow at which the axial component is reduced to zero) to form a rotary flow (v = kr) having an angular component of the same sense as the potential flow, and an axial component of opposite sense to the potential flow, thereby creating a cylindrical tube shaped zone in the coolant, and spaced from the container wall, in which the particulate fuel is constrained. Thus, as seen in Fig. 1 the coolant, gas, liquid, or molten metal (carbon dioxide, helium; water, heavy water, sodium) enters the reactor through oblique tangential ports 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 and forms an outer downwardly moving potential flow to the reactor base of which, depending on initial zone requirements, may be concave, flat, or convex. The rotary flow 9 is directed upwards around a moderating flow control member 14 (graphite or beryllium), and out through the reactor apex to a heat exchanger. Thus a zone 17 is formed in which the particulate fuel is restrained since in a vortex system containing particles, it is inherent that the particles will migrate from streamlines of higher velocity to streamlines of lower velocity. A further vortex 11 is arranged in the coolant outlet duct to remove any fuel in the coolant, and return it via the pipe 12 to to the reactor. Alternatively, particle separation nozzles 13 may be used, supplying fresh coolant. Ducts 18,19 are provided for removing and replacing fuel, either continuously or periodically. When the reactor coolant is not circulating, it collects in a ring shaped mound 16 on the reactor base, this formation of the fuel being non-critical. The particulate fuel may be thorium, plutonium, uranium, in oxide or carbide form, or the corresponding nitride, hydride, silicide, sulphide or cermet. The reactor vessel can be lined with a breeder casing, and any additional regulating devices included in the lining. Since the reactor will function entirely independently of its altitude in space, it may be of use in the propulsion of ships and aircraft. Specification 939,687 also is referred to.

The rudder stock 6 is in the form of a tube and is carried in bearings 20 on an intermediate deck 19 and bearings 22 in the extension 4. Adjusting screws 23 for the bearings are accessible from a chamber 13 in the extension. An arm 21 connects the rudder stock to the steering gear. The side surfaces of the rudder are formed by plates welded to each other at edges and to rudder stock at 35. Reinforcing webs 36 with openings 37 are welded to side plates and other parts of the rudder. The Specification as open to inspection under Sect. 91 also describes a weakening of the lower part 38 of the rudder to allow of collapse during grounding without serious damage to the stronger parts. This subject-matter does not appear in the Specification as accepted.

Title: Automatic headlamp dimming system
IPC: B60Q1/14
Filed: 1958-09-05
Abstract: 829,079. Dimming systems for vehicle lights. GENERAL MOTORS CORPORATION. Sept. 5, 1958 [Sept. 23, 1957], No. 28560/58. Class 40 (3). A dimming systems for vehicle lights 106, 110 comprises a voltage regulator 22 supplied from a battery 10 over a manually-operated selector switch 20, whereby a regulated voltage is developed across a voltage divider 32, 34, the movable contact of the potentiometer 32 being connected to a transistor 38 of an oscillator such that a high voltage is developed in the secondary winding 52 of a transformer 44 dependent upon the voltage tapped off the potentiometer 32, the output from the winding 52 being rectified by a diode 54 and applied to a photomultiplier tube 14 which is arranged to control a control relay 16 by way of an electron tube 74, the control relay 16 further controlling, by way of a switch 96, a power relay 18 which switches the vehicle lights from high beam to low beam when light falls on the photomultiplier tube 14. Whilst no light is falling or the photomultiplier tube 14 the tube 74 is rendered conductive to energize the operating coil 76 of relay 16 whereby the contact 84 moves to the high beam, UB, position. With the control relay 16 in this position the power relay 18 is de-energized, thereby allowing the high beam filament 106 to be energized. The incidence of light on the photomultiplier tube 14 causes it to develop a voltage which causes the tube 74 to become non-conductive and to de-energize the relay 16, whereupon the contact 84 moves to the low beam, LB, position to disconnect the dim sensitivity resistor 90 and energize the relay 18 to move its contact 102 to the low beam position, thereby energizing the low-beam filament 110. Disconnection of the resistor 90 increases the sensitivity of the photomultiplier tube 14 so that a lesser intensity of incident light-such as that which occurs with headlamp switching in an oncoming vehicle-will maintain the control relay in the low-beam position. Closure of a switch 114 will provide manual overriding control to maintain the control relay 16 energized in the high-beam position. Manual dimming operation may be obtained by opening switch 20 and manipulation of the dimmer switch 96.
