Filed: 1959-04-16
Abstract: 893,764. Centrifugal separators. McCLURE, C. A. April 16, 1959 [May 1, 1958], No. 13049/59. Class 23. A hydrocyclone used for classification or separation has means whereby a compressible fluid core may be maintained at the centre of the vortex by supplying fluid between the ends of the vortex. In the conical hydrocyclone shown air is supplied to the core by slots 65 in an adjustable tube 61 which may be fed from one or both ends. The tube may have a conical enlargement adjacent the outlet tube 35 so that axial movement of the tube alters the cross sectional area of the annular outlet 59. The air may be pumped or sucked into the core. An outlet port is provided in the top dome 31, the latter being divided from the rest of the separator by a plate 42 carrying the vortex finder 54. The inlet port 75 enters below plate 42. An obstructing member can be lowered into the underflow orifice 59. This enables the cross section of the underflow to be varied and thus the consistency of the slurry emerging at 59 is modified. A plain cylindrical form of separator is also described.

Title: Improvements in or relating to fluid pressure valves
Inventor: SCHOENHEIT WERNER ALBERT
IPC: F16K31/363
Filed: 1953-05-22
Abstract: 723,679. Fluid-actuated valves. MINISTER OF SUPPLY. May 22, 1953 [May 23, 1952], No. 13105/52. Class 135. In a valve of the kind in which the obturating member 14 is urged to the closed position by a spring 16 and by pressure of the controlled fluid at the inlet 12 and is opened by the action of the inlet fluid pressure applied through a line 30 to a piston 23 under the control of an auxiliary valve 33 which normally vents the piston chamber to atmosphere, a second piston 18 fast with the valve 14 is provided and this piston is subject on one side to inlet fluid pressure applied through a passage 42 and, on the other side, to fluid pressure from the outlet 13 applied through a line 27 under the control of an auxiliary valve 32 which normally vents the piston chamber to atmosphere, and a stop 43 is provided for piston 23 so that the valve can be held in an intermediate position. Valves 32, 33 are solenoid operated. Piston 23 only abuts against the upper end of the stem of valve 14 and, when it is halted by abutment ring 43, it ceases to have any effect on the further downward movement of the valve stem. Thus, if both valves 32, 33 are actuated, valve 14 will be opened to an intermediate position determined by the point at which piston 23 ceases to influence the valve stem. If control valve 32 is now returned to normal position, valve 14 will continue to the fully open position. The abutment 43 may consist of a screwed member adjustable in position. The valve stem carries one or more additional valves 38 which control flow in separate lines 36, 37. Fluid leaking through a seal 41 to the valve stem can drain away at 40.

Abstract: 1,062,281. Etching. EASTMAN KODAK CO. March 31, 1964 [April 1, 1963], No. 13125/64. Heading B6S. [Also in Division G2] A photographic material for obtaining a relief printing plate by deep etching comprises a support bonded to a cellulose ester layer, e.g. cellulose acetate butyrate, cellulose acetate or cellulose acetate propionate carrying a lightsensitive gelatino-silver emulsion layer bonded to the cellulose ester layer by means of a subbing layer e.g. cellulose nitrate and gelatine, which is soluble or dispersible in at least one solvent which will dissolve or disperse the cellulose ester and which contains between 0À005 and 0À020 grams of solid material per square foot, the support material being insoluble in the solvent. The support may be a metal sheet, e.g. aluminium, steel, copper, zinc, iron or magnesium or a resin, e.g. melamine or phenol-formaldehyde resin coated with an adhesive layer of polyvinyl acetate on one or both sides, said layer containing an antihalation dye. The emulsion layer or developing solution will contain a tanning developer. The gelatine is removed from the unexposed areas by washing with water to provide a gelatine resist through which the underlying cellulose ester layer is etched with an etching solution consisting of a solvent and a non-solvent for the cellulose layer. Specified solvents are butyl acetate, isopropyl acetate, ethylacetate, ethylacetoacetate, 2- pentanone, acetone, methyl ethyl ketone, glacial acetic acid, dichloromethane, ethylene glycol monemethyl ether, dimethyl sulphoxide, ethyl lactate or diethylene glycol ethyl ether. Specifled non-solvents are alkanols, diacetone alcohol, cyclohexane, xylene, toluene, Stoddard solvent and lactic acid. The etching is carried out in cycles with intermediate drying steps. The cellulose ester layer may contain a pigment, e.g. titanium dioxide. Positive gelatine relief images are obtained by using the peroxide etch reversal process.

Title: Method and equipment for expediting the transportation of containers on rail-borne and road vehicles
IPC: B61C5/00
Filed: 1961-04-12
Abstract: 978,888. Transferring containers between road and rail vehicles. E. EWERS. April 12, 1961 [April. 22, 1960], No13195/61. Heading B8E. To eliminate the need for shunting operations freight containers are arranged on a loading platform in accordance with routes and destinations and then transferred to platform cars 9, Fig. 1, by a simple transverse movement. Subsequently the platform cars are moved alongside a train of container-carrying cars 8 to which the containers are transferred by a further transverse movement. The containers are transferred by a captive wheeled trolley 46, Fig. 17, moved to the position shown by a cable 71, Fig. 26, wrapped round a winch 68; this arrangement permits movement of the trolley to either side of the platform car. The trolley 46 is raised into engagement with the underside 55, Fig. 18, of a container by a downward swinging movement of arms 50 which support wheels 49. This movement raises the container clear of locating and guiding corner pieces 73, Fig. 29, for transfer by movement of a platform 47, Fig. 18, on rollers 54. When the platform 47 has moved as far to the right as possible the trolley 46 is withdrawn and lowered to deposit the container on the platform car. The trolley is guided and supported during transverse movements by wheels 64, Fig. 23, on the platform car which co-operate with guide-rails 63 on the trolley. The arms 50 may be swung mechanically, hydraulically or electromagnetically. Latches 81, Fig. 32, retain the containers within the corner pieces 73 during transit and are disengaged when abutments 76 on the transfer trolley pivot a T-shaped lever 77 against springs 83. The platform cars 28-32, Fig. 9, are aligned with the container-carrying cars 21-25 by braking the last platform car, stretching out the rest of the train, braking the penultimate car, stretching the train again and so on until all the cars are aligned. Magnetic brakes which engage the rails are brought into operation by positioning feelers on the cars and progressively spring - loaded couplings 34-38 ensure that the cars move in the correct sequence as the train is stretched.

Abstract: 1401557 Machine for encapsulating articles in plastics film K NAKAMURA 20 March 1973 13200/73 Heading B8C In a machine for encapsulating articles in plastics film each time a welding-and-cutting head assembly A, pivoted on a shaft 10, is raised, by operating a handle 9, from a lower operating position over a recess 3 in a bed 1, to an upper inoperative position, Fig. 1, the rotational movement of the shaft 10 is transmitted, through a linkage 11, shaft 12, ratchet wheel 24, and drive 13, to a feed roll 5 which co-operates with a pressure roller 6 to draw lengths of film 2, 2<SP>1</SP> from upper and lower rolls 2, 2<SP>1</SP> so that the film 2<SP>1</SP> lies over the recess 3 and the film 2<SP>1</SP> is inclined downwardly, and rearwardly, toward a pair of guide rollers. The assembly A, comprising a cylindrical hot plate 8 and cutter unit 7, is urged by a spring 21, to lie within a shroud 14 which has projecting from its lower edge, a press ring 15. An object B to be packaged is placed upon the film 2 over the recess 3, which is surrounded by an elastic ring 4, and the assembly A is first lowered, by operating the handle 9 so that the press ring 15 unwinds the upper film and guides it smoothly down on to the film 2 supported by the elastic ring 15. The ratchet wheel 24 ensures that the downward movement of the assembly A does not operate the feed roll 5. Further pressure on the handle 9, in the same direction, causes the assembly A to be lowered with respect to the stationary shroud 4 so that the films 2, 2 1  are sealed together around the object B by the hot plate 8 and are cut by the cutter 7, the capsule dropping down through the recess 3. When the assembly is again raised the rolls 5, 6 convey the cut remainder of both films 2, 2<SP>1</SP> to the rear of the machine. An asbestos plate 22 is preferably interposed between the cutter 7 and the hot plate 7, which preferably carries an interior annular heat insulator 72 made of synthetic resin.

Abstract: 371,175. Expanding and other pulleys. OSTBERG, K. G., 25, Roslagsgatan, Stockholm. May 6, 1931, No. 13414. Convention date, Nov. 22, 1930. [Classes 80 (i) and 80 (ii).] A pulley which expands automatically by centrifugal force comprises rim segments 9 each of which is connected to the pulley body by two links 12, 13 of different lengths. This body comprises a hub 1 with flanges 4 through which pass pivot bolts 10 for the links 12 and pivot bolts 11 for the links 13. The links are in the form of circular discs which pivot in the plane of the rim and are pin-jointed at 14 to the flanges 15 inside the rim segments 9. The displacements of the rim segments are greater tangentially than radially. The rim segments 9 are constrained to move in unison by interengaging snugs such as 16<1> on the segments and on a loose connecting ring 61. The pulley shown comprises two half pulleys with rim segments 9, 9<1>, one on each side of a ring or flange 8 which projects out with the normal pulley surface and turns loosely relatively to the rest of the pulley. When starting to drive, the flange 8 holds the belt sufficiently clear of the segments 9, 9<1> for the latter to slip without driving until they have been thrown outwardly into gripping engagement by centrifugal force. The flange or flanges 8 also help to prevent the belt slipping off the pulley. A central annular space 5 may contain oil or grease. Pulleys.-The Specification as open to inspection under Sect. 91 (3) (a) comprises also a pulley with rigid halves like 9, 9<1>, Fig. 2, but of fixed diameter with a loose guide flange or flanges 8 of slightly larger diameter projecting between. This subject-matter does not appear in the Specification as accepted.
