Title: Method of making grained confection
IPC: A23G3/42
Filed: 1931-01-05
Abstract: In making grained confections such as fondants the solid phase of which consists predominantly of dextrose hydrate and the liquid phase of a syrup of a higher solubility sugar, a water solution of dextrose containing substantially no impurities is first crystallized with agitation and the syrup then added to the crystal massecuite.  The added syrup may consist of corn syrup, invert sugar or sucrose or a mixture thereof.  According to an example, cerelose (dextrose monohydrate having a purity of 99,5 per cent) is boiled with an excess of water at a temperature of 110-113,3 DEG  C. to give a solution having a water content of 15-22 per cent and the solution is crystallized with agitation in a suitable beater.  A mixture of invert sugar and corn syrup with enough water to dissolve them is boiled at 110-113,3 DEG  C. to give a solution having a water content substantially the same as that of the cerelose solution and the syrup thus obtained is added to the massecuite of dextrose crystals.

Title: Relay apparatus for a signal device
IPC: B60Q11/00
Filed: 1969-01-02
Abstract: 1,254,751. Road traffic signals on vehicles; lamp failure alarms. STEWART-WARNER CORP. 2 Jan., 1969 [4 Jan., 1968; 16 Dec., 1968], No. 3.52/69. Headings G4N and G4Q. [Also in Division H1] An electromagnetic relay for vehicle flashing light control has an inertia weight 50 driven througha gear train 30, 40, 44, 46. The relay has a yoke 16 on which an armature 18 rocks on one limb of the yoke between stops formed by the ends of a slot in the other limb of the yoke. A contact 24 on the end of the limb 20 of the armature 18 is normally engaged by a contact 26 on the gear-wheel 30 which is biased clockwise by a spring 38. The coil 14 is in series with contacts 24, 26 and when it is energized the armature 18 is rocked against the bias of a spring 22 to drive the gear train through the engaged contacts 24, 26. When the armature reaches the end of its travel the gears and weight continue to move and the contacts 24, 26 open to de-energize the coil so that the armature resets to its normal position. Just after the contacts 24, 26 separate a cam member 36 on the shaft 32 of the gear 30 engages a spring blade 58 to open contacts 60, 62 in the circuit of indicator lamp RI or LI. When the inertia of the gears and weight is overcome by the stress of the spring 38 the gears are reversed and contact sets 60, 62 and 24, 26 are closed in sequence, the later set reclosing when the gear 30 moves the contact 26 to its extreme position beyond the point of separation. The coil 14 is thus re-energized and the operation is repeated to cause indicator lamp flashing. A two coil attracted armature relay 98 (Fig. 4) having an armature mounted contact 118 co-operating with a fixed contact 120 may be mounted on the same base as the flasher relay and be arranged to ensure that on lamp failure the coil 14 remains energized so that when the contacts 24, 26 reclose after the first operation there is no drive applied to the gears and weight and the contacts 60, 62 are not operated again to give reflashing action. The relay parts may be shaped to give a compact construction (Figs. 7 to 17, not shown) and the extra relay may have a single coil (Figs. 15 to 17) whilst the flasher relay has an additional coil which is energized on lamp failure to retain the armature. In order that a hazard switch may flash the remaining lamps in the event of lamp failure, relay 98 is provided with two windings 108, 110 in series.

Title: Tuner keyboard fo' a broadcast receiver
IPC: H03J5/08
Filed: 1974-01-04
Abstract: 1457455 Cams AUTOVOX SpA 4 Jan 1974 [17 Jan 1973] 00360/74 Heading F2K [Also in Division H3] In a keyboard for a receiver the keys 16, 17 Fig. 1 have cams 20 fulerumed to them which can be locked in varying inclined positions with respect to the key axis, each key co-acts with an associated pivotally mounted further cam 6, each further cam 6 has an ear 6<SP>1</SP> disposed at both sides of its pivot and the ears are coplanar with the associated key cam 20 which is capable of being moved into engagement with the associated ears. Each eared cam 6 is linked by a pin 8 to a flat bolt or member 24, one end of which is disconnectibly linked to the tuning system of the receiver and the eared cams 6 and the bolt or member 24 transmit the key cam position to the tuning system. In order to set the position of a tuning cam 20 the associated button 18 is pulled outwardly to release by means of a rod 22, Fig. 4 and a resilient tongue 21, the tuning cam 20. The lateral position of the bolt 24 is now adjusted by a lever 27 operated by the manual tuning knob 32 to correspond to the selected tuning position. Now the button 18 is pressed in and its associated cam 20 engages the ears 6<SP>1</SP> of the associated cam 6 which rotate the cam 20 to the required position and on further pressing the rod 22 and tongue 21 lock the cam 20 in the preselected position on the key stem 16. The button 18 and key can now be returned to a position determined by projections 19 abutting a flange 13 so that when the button is next pressed the cam 20 moves the cam 6 and bolt 24 to preselect the required tuning position. To prevent play between the cams 6 and a plate 1, pivots 5 cooperate with triangular holes (51, Fig. 11, not-shown) in lobes 6<SP>11</SP> of the cams 6 which are biased by a leaf spring 10. Square and triangular holes 25<SP>1</SP>, 25 in the bolt 24 co-operate with pins 8 projecting from each cam 6 by means of springs 9. A spring 31 eliminates any play between the bolt 24 and a plate (29, Fig. 5, not shown) connected to a rotatable gear for manual tuning 32. In a modification (Figs. 6 and 8, not shown) the end 17 of each key is replaced by a stud (43) sliding in a slot (44) in a plate (45) with a spring biased slider having teeth to keep the studs (43) pressed against one side of the slot (44) to eliminate play between the key stems 16 and the plate (45).

Title: Improvements in or relating to shaped polyamide products
IPC: C08L77/00
Filed: 1946-01-04
Abstract: Stretching and shaping of polyamide products comprises extension under stress of a supercooled composition of a synthetic linear polyamide, said composition being characterised by the presence of a minor amount of compatible resin and/or plasticizer and by a pseudomelting point for a limited period of time after cooling, and also by the development of orientation under stress after the disappearance of the said pseudo melting point, the temperature at which the said stretching or shaping is effected being above said pseudo melting point and below the normal melting point, and while the composition still retains the said pseudo melting point.  "Pseudo melting point" is defined as the temperature above which the synthetic linear polyamide composition is noncrystalline, does not develop orientation on application of stress, and can be shaped or stretched under a stress of only a fraction of that required for stretching crystalline synthetic polymers; it is at least 20 DEG  C. and in most cases 100 DEG  C. below the normal melting point. "Normal melting point" is defined as that temperature at which a crystalline synthetic linear polyamide changes to liquid.  After the preliminary stretching above the pseudo melting point the material is aged until it has crystallised and the pseudo melting point disappears and then further extended to develop orientation.  The compositions to which this process is particularly applicable contain about 20 per cent of a compatible resin or plasticizer. Suitable compositions are polyhexamethylene sebacamide modified with a compatible phenolformaldehyde resin, copolymers of hexamethylene adipamide with hexamethylene sebacamide modified with a compatible phenol-formaldehyde resin, a hexamethylene adipamide/hexamethylene sebacamide/caprolactam copolymer modified with glycerine or with N-ethyl-p-toluene-sulphonamide.  In an example (all parts are by weight) 80 parts of polyhexamethylene sebacamide in chip form is heated to 100 DEG  C. with 20 parts of a compatible phenol-formaldehyde resin prepared by condensing 900 parts of phenol with 580 parts of 37 per cent aqueous formaldehyde in the presence of 9 parts of ammonium chloride and 10 parts of oxalic acid.  When the chips appear uniformly coated with the resin the mixture is cooled and melt-spun after being melted into a water quenching bath at 25 DEG  C.  The filament is stretched to five times its length after passage through a water bath at 90 DEG  C. to give a filament with properties indicating the absence of orientation.  Ten minutes after stretching the filament is carried through the same process with the water-bath at 90 DEG  C. to give an oriented filament. Specifications 461,236 and 461,237 are referred to.
