Title: Improved automatically ignited oil burning heating device
Inventor: BIRD GARNET WILLIS
IPC: F23Q1/06
Filed: 1963-06-19
Abstract: 1,105,691. Igniting oil burners. I. M. CROSS, and S. C. B. CROSS, [trading as BRANDON, GARNER & CO.]. 9 Sept., 1964 [19 June, 1963; 13 Sept., 1963], Nos. 24371/63 and 36163/63. Headings F4F and F4T. An oil heater, Fig. 1, is ignited automatically by an igniter 11, Fig. 7, energized by a bi-metal thermostat 8B, Fig. 4, responsive to ambient temperature. The igniter 11, comprises a tube of non-conductive combustible material having a hole 11E in which is placed pyrotechnic material 11D. An electrical resistance wire 11A for igniting the pyrotechnic material passes down the centre of the igniter and is connected to two end caps 11B. The igniter is held between a pillar 8H mounted on a metal lid 7 on the upper end of the flue tube 4 of the heater and a spring urged bolt 10A which engages a hole 10F in the flue tube 4 to retain the lid 7 thereon. A tube 9 containing electric batteries 9B is secured at an angle to the lid 7 and the weight of the batteries causes the lid to fall off the flue tube when the bolt is withdrawn. The bimetal thermostat energizes the resistance wire 11A which ignites the pyrotechnic material which in turn ignites the igniter tube. The igniter then bends at the middle to allow the bolt 10A to release the lid 7 and to pivot a flap 10C which ejects the igniter; the latter falls on to a kindler wick 6 in the heater. The heater comprises a metal oil container 1 having a tapered lid 2 and an upwardly tapered central tube 1D. The flue tube 4 fits over a flange 2B round a central hole in the lid 2 and an apertured extension flue tube 3 rests on the base of the container and is an easy fit inside the flange 2B. Primary air tubes 2E having longitudinal slots 29 are inserted through apertures 2C in the lid 2 and rest on the base of the container. Half cylindrical open-ended covers 2F protect the open ends of the air tubes 2E. A removable metal tube 5 is located over the tapered central tube 1D, and is provided with apertures 5C, 5E and a press-on cap 5B. A vapour lock ring 5D is fixed to the tube 5 and has a downward flange loosely located in the top of the central tube 1D. The wick kindler is annular and floats on the oil between the tubes 3, 5. The kindler may be made of absorbent material which floats or of absorbent material which is non-buoyant; in the latter ease it is supported on a metal float.

Title: Improvements in or relating to heel attaching by machine
IPC: A43D79/00
Filed: 1933-09-06
Abstract: 425,305. Boot - making machines. BRITISH UNITED SHOE MACHINERY CO., Ltd., BARCLAY, W. R., and BARTON, F., Belgrave Road, Leicester, and GREWCOCK, H., 138, Bramley Road, North Kensington, London. Sept. 6, 1933, Nos. 24661 and 32159. [Class 17 (i)] Heels, machines for.-In a machine for attaching very high heels to shoes, the clamp has a tread member carried by a lever pivoted so that as the member engages the tread face it is moving substantially at right-angles to it, and the tread member is locked against further movement while side and rear clamps move to engage the heel. A plunger 14 descends vertically, e.g. as described in Specification 23031/11, [Class 17 (i)], to cause the heel to be clamped. The plunger carries mechanism of the kind described in Specification 339,935, [Class 17 (i)], for operating side and rear clamps comprising a compensating lever 20 engaging plungers 16, 31 for the tread and rear clamps, respectively, the lever having a pivot constituted by the ends 24 of levers geared to side clamps 26. The tread clamp 18 is angularly adjustable by a worm 33 in a slide adjustable along levers 32 which may engage any one of three pivot holes 36-38 in a member carried by the machine column 10. The other ends of the levers are connected by a link 48 with a slide 50 urged upwardly by a spring 44 and provided with teeth co-operating with pawls 54, 56, four pawls providing engagement at quarter-tooth intervals. The tails of the pawls are engaged by arms 64 secured to the levers operating the side clamps, these arms being urged towards each other by a spring 62. The plunger 16 is rotatable by a hand-wheel 45 and has threaded engagement with a stem 43 carrying an abutment 42 for the tread face clamp. The rear clamp is adjustable longitudinally of the shoe by a hand-wheel 29. In operation, when the shoe has been positioned on the jack the plunger 14 is depressed, tipping the levers 32 downwardly and carrying the slide 50 down until the resistance to further descent of the tread and rear clamps causes the lever 20 to swing the side clamps toward the heel. As these commence to swing, the arms 64 leave the tails of the pawls 54, 56 and one of these pawls engages a tooth of the slide 50 and prevents further descent of the levers 32 and, consequently, further clamping movement of the tread rest. Further descent of the plunger causes the rear and side clamps to engage the heel more firmly. When the heel attaching nails have been driven, rise of the plunger 14 returns all parts to starting position. Specification 174,273, [Class 17 (i)], also is referred to.

Data storage apparatus comprises an array of storage elements (shown as circles in Fig. 1) arranged in ranks, the left-hand column being regarded as of zero rank and the single righthand element as of rank 4, each element being capable of storing a data word, and a local control unit being provided for each pair of elements associated with a single element of next higher rank to control the transfer of data from rank to rank. Words normally stored in 'the zero rank positions may be read out directly when their address is known, or can be obtained by causing the local control units of zero rank to compare the parts of the stored words in a desired field with a control field. Alternatively words can be selectively shifted right to effect a sorting; this is done by instructing each local control unit to shift to the next rank the data word (or part of it) having in specified position the lower number, or number nearer to a given datum number (as examples), of the two in the elements it controls. The shift right is repeated in a number of cycles until the lowest (or nearest) number appears at the right-hand element for read-out; shift to the right of any number is conditional on the element to which it is transferred being free, and once a number has been so shifted an " invalidity digit " is written into it in its original element to prevent its shift again. Figs. 4(a)-4(c) (not shown) illustrate schematically the circuit of a local control unit with inputs from the bit positions of two storage elements, and further inputs representing the control field, datum number &c., all these inputs controlling relays which energize enabling circuits for gates, change " validity " bits &c.
