Title: Improvements in or relating to builders scaffolding
Inventor: BREEZE ALAN JAMES
IPC: E04G7/30
Filed: 1967-12-09
Abstract: 1,242,224. Scaffolding. MILLS SCAFFOLD CO., Ltd. 7 March, 1969 [9 Dec., 1967; 5 March, 1968], Nos. 56083/67 and 10528/68. Headings E1S and E2B. A scaffolding brace 12 is connected to an upright 9 via a stud 10 welded to the upright, over which is positioned one end 11 of the brace, which is provided with a clearance hole, the brace being locked in position by a pivotable locking member 16 which is of U- section longitudinally of the brace with one portion (inner or outer) movable into locking engagement with a peripheral groove (e.g. 14) on the stud. Two peripheral grooves may be provided, and one or both portions of the locking member may engage therewith. The locking member may be formed from a blank (Fig. 4) with two apertures 17, each with a larger central portion 17 to receive the stud shank, and two arcuate portions 20 which engage the grooves in the locking position. These portions may be aligned, as shown, when the locking member engages two grooves, or staggered, when only one portion of the locking member is used in a given position. Alternatively, only one side of the locking member has narrow arcuate portions 20, and in both of these instances, two braces can be locked on to one stud which has two peripheral grooves.

Title: Improvements in or relating to the production of food extracts
IPC: A23F5/26
Filed: 1943-06-29
Abstract: A process for preparing an extract of a food substance, such as coffee, comprises preparing a pre-wetted subdivided mass of the substance, forming a bed of this mass and compacting it to a substantially uniform density, and extracting it with an aqueous liquid.  The coffee may be wetted with water or aqueous liquids including coffee extract, skimmed milk, aqueous alcohol, aqueous glycerol or sugar solutions.  The quantity of liquid used is from eight to sixteen ounces of water per pound of solids; this is mixed uniformly throughout the mass as by spraying it with agitation of the coffee or the like.  The wetted coffee after expansion is transferred to the extracting chamber where it is packed by hand or mechanically to uniform density so as to prevent channelling.  The density is preferably between 34 to 45 lbs. of wetted coffee per cubic foot, but may be more.  The coffee may be packed in vertical tubes in series. After a time, the first tube is removed, and a fresh one fixed to the end of the series.  A filtering material, such as 20 to 30 mesh granules, sand, metal shavings or the like, is provided at the outlet of each tube.  A single vertical tube may be used.  The extracting liquids may contain a small proportion of a suitable non-toxic, an emulsifying agent and a small proportion of a non-toxic, unobjectionably flavoured anti-oxidant.  The above process may be applied to materials such as Mat<\>a, tea, root materials such as chicory, ground barley or wheat, cocoa, vegetables or fruit.  The liquid product may be dried as by spraying it into a stream of hot air or other gas.  A vacuum drying process may be used.

Title: Low density gas system
IPC: F15C1/02
Filed: 1965-03-12
Abstract: 1,073,785. Increasing the operational speed of fluid systems. SPERRY RAND CORPORATION. March 12, 1965 [March 24, 1964], No. 10596/65. Heading G4P. [Also in Division G3] The operational speed of a fluid system (Fig. 4) is increased by increasing the jet velocity of the gas entering the fluid system at 52 either by decreasing the pressure P1 or by increasing the temperature T1 of the gas. Air or a gas with a lower density than air may be used, e.g. helium, hydrogen and neon. The pressure P1 may be reduced by partially evacuating the chamber 80. by a pump 86, the pressure P2 either being lowered with P1 or being held constant by adjusting a compressor 50. The temperature T1 may be raised by heating the gas whilst allowing enough heated air to escape from the chamber to keep the pressure P1 constant. Alternatively a heating coil may-be connected at the entrance of the pump 50 so that only the air entering the pump is heated. The fluid system of Fig. 4 may incorporate the logic element of Fig. 2A (not shown), which operates as an exclusive OR gate, an AND gate or a halfadder.

Abstract: 718,261. Hose couplings. MILLAR, J. H., and AVICA EQUIPMENT, Ltd. May 1, 1951 [May 1, 1950; March 22, 1951], Nos. 10734/51 and 6932/51. Class 99 (1). In an end fitting for corrugated metallic hose in which end corrugations are trapped and crushed between parts of the fitting, an outer part of the fitting has internal teeth which engage uncrushed corrugations of the hose. In one form a sleeve 3 has a coarse thread 6 whereby it is screwed on to the helically corrugated hose 7. A coupling body 16 is screwed at 5 into the sleeve, and locked by a grub-screw 22. Corrugations 14 are crushed between a face 15 of the sleeve and a cup-leather packing 12 against the face 18 of the body which has a tubular extension 17 projecting into the hose. The covering 2 of the hose is clamped on a reduced end of the sleeve by a swage ring 10. The body has a coupling nut 23 swivellingly mounted thereon by an annular key 24, and a conical seat 27. For screwing the body into the sleeve a tool 34 is adapted to screw into the nut until a conical shoulder 35 on its shank 36 is forced against the seat 27. In another form a sleeve 3', Fig. 2, having a coarse thread engaging the hose is separate from a sleeve 3" screwing on to the body 16'. The sleeve 3" has an integral swage ring 10<SP>1</SP> whereby it is secured to the sleeve 3<SP>1</SP> and clamps the hose covering 2. The insert portion 17<SP>1</SP> of the body may have a coarse thread to engage the hose. The sleeve 3<SP>1</SP> may be split to facilitate assembly particularly when used with a hose having annular instead of helical corrugations. Instead of a swage ring for contracting the sleeve 3<SP>1</SP>, the sleeves may have co-operating tapered surfaces.

Endless-track vehicles.-In endless-track vehicles having laterally flexible tracks, the bogies are free to move in a lateral direction and preferably also in a vertical direction. A slight angular movement of the bogies is preferably permitted. The shafts a of the bogie wheels b, Fig. 2, are mounted at the ends of frames c which are pivotally connected to a pair of links d. A bar e, to which the lower end of each pair of links d is pivotally connected, is fixed to a plunger f contained in a cylinder g which is carried by a plunger j moving in guides k on the vehicle. The plunger j has at its upper end a pulley l on which a suspension rope runs. Skirting plates m limit the lateral movement. In a modification, the pivotal connections of the links d to a frame c and the corresponding end of the bar e are not in the same vertical plane, and the pivotal connections of the frames and links are connected by a link, thus permitting an angular movement of the bogie frame. In another modification, the wheels are mounted in arms pivoted to a cylinder which is slidably mounted in another cylinder. A spring is placed between the ends of the cylinder and brackets on the outer cylinder are attached to links pivoted to the vehicle. In further modifications, the bogie frame is slidably mounted on a cross-bar which is rotatably mounted in the end of the plunger f, Fig. 1, or a cross-bar fixed to the bogie frame is slidably mounted in a ball-race at the end of the plunger. A cylinder r, Fig. 8, connected by shackles to the vehicle, receives a cylinder q which is pivotally connected to an arm y. Bogies are mounted on each end of the arm y so that they are free to turn on vertical pins z and horizontal pins z<1>.
