Abstract: 121,711. Bruyn, J. de. Aug. 12, 1918. Butter substitutes and food fats.-A substance for imparting a special, especially a butter-like, flavour to edible fats or oils is made from oilbearing seeds or fruits after removal of the oil. The defatted seeds are ground to a fine powder which is made into a smooth mixture with water containing a small proportion of alkali. The mixture is then treated with a proteoclastic enzyme, such as pepsin, and a culture of lactic bacteria, such as are used in butter starters. The mixture may, before treatment with enzyme and bacteria, be dried to a powder, which is mixed with water and treated like the original mixture when required for use. The skin and germ may be removed from the seeds before the separation of the oil.
Patent GB-131939-A (GB)
IPC: B64D17/52
Abstract: 131,939. Calthrop, E. R. March 25, 1918. Parachutes.-Relates to means for carrying a parachute, particularly such as described in Specification 118,859, on an aeroplane in a casing forming part of the wing surface or attached to one of the spars. Fig. 1 shows the casing 1 pivotally attached by brackets to the spar 4. The casing is formed in two parts to open to allow of the withdrawal of the parachute attached to the centre bolt 8 and load rope 9, spring hinges or elastic bands 57 being provided to close the case after withdrawal and cause it to return to its normal position forming part of the wing surface. The shock-absorber 10 in the load rope is secured in the recess in the side of the fuselage by a ripping strip 11. Fig. 2 shows a section of the case and the enclosed parachute. The top and bottom of the case are each in two parts 12, 13 flexibly hinged together, the sides being formed integrally with each part and fitted together by butt joints. The mouth of the case is held closed bv a bar 23 to which the centre bolt 8 is attached. The bar 23 has portions which overlap the ends of the top and bottom and carries a plate 42 to which the main tapes 26 are attached; one such tape on each side is attached to a pin which passes through slots in the side fitting to hold the top and bottom plates together so that this portion is not released until the main tapes have taken the load. The plate 23 is held in position by an adjustable breakable wire 45. The casing is held in its normal position by breakable wires connected on each side between the casing and wing edge, severing tools being attached to the load rope so that these are broken before the load is transferred to the bolt 8. The tapes are arranged as described in Specification 21312/14, and the doublet tapes are connected at their upper ends to breakable threads 33 of differing length or strength so as to open synchronously. The parachute 28 is packed in the innermost portion of the casing, and is connected thereto at its apex by a breakable thread. The mouth of the parachute is expanded by spring-mounted plates, as described in Specification 118,859, but these are flat to suit the casing, and are arranged by employing one pair of such plates on each side.

Title: Improvements in automatic weighing apparatus for powdery, granulated, or liquid substances
IPC: G01G13/00
Filed: 1919-05-26
Abstract: 142,678. Leumann, R. May 26, 1919. Automatic feed-weighers.-Relates to automatic feed-weighers wherein the material to be weighed passes in a continuous stream through a feed-shoot adapted to be swung aside in order to divert the flow of the material at the desired times. In the present invention the swinging occurs in steps in accordance with the angular movements of the scale-beam. Figs. 1 and 2 illustrate, by way of example, apparatus embodying the invention. The feed-shoot 3, Fig. 1, is articulated about the point 2 and is swung by the weight 21<1> when the weight is disengaged by the lifting of the brake 23<1>. By reason of the swing, the material descending the shoot is diverted from the scale-pan 7<1> to the by-shoot 8<1>. Automaticity is secured by depression of the weigh-beam 9<1> operating the lever 12<1>, 13<1>, 14<1>, whereby the pin 32<1> comes into contact with the flap 28<1> and completes an electric circuit through the electromagnet 27<1>, thereby raising the brake 23<1> and allowing the weight 21<1> to fall. As soon as this happens and the shoot 3 is swung, the contact is broken, and the brake again holds the weight 21<1> until further depression of the scale-pan occurs, this occurring when the charge in the pan is complete. Contact of the pin 32<1> again taking place, the swinging movement of the shoot is completed, and the descending charge wholly diverted to the shoot 8<1>. By reason of the weighted lever 12<1>, 13<1>, 14<1>, a slight movement only of the beam 9' is requisite. Instead of allowing the channel 8<1> to deliver the material to, say, an elevator, the material could be delivered to a second scale-pan arranged in the same way, and this second pan could effect the return of the shoot to its original position. In the construction shown in Fig. 2, the solenoid 33<1> may replace the weight 21<1> &c. shown in Fig. 1, the swinging back of the shoot being effected by the solenoid 35<1>. Solenoids could be included in a circuit adapted to be closed by contacts so that, by using two scale-pans, one of the pairs of contacts actuated by one of the scale-beams energizes one solenoid, and the other pair of contacts actuated by the other scale-beam energizes the second solenoid. Instead of mounting the shoot 3 so that it may swing, it may be stationary and the shoot 6<1> arranged to swing. In place of electro-magnetic control, the lever 12<1>, 13<1>, 14<1> may be arranged to operate an easily movable catch and to release the shoot 3, the swinging then being effected by the weight 21<1> or by a spring.

Title: Improvements in or relating to gear systems
IPC: F16H3/38
Filed: 1947-05-16
Abstract: 632,864. Change-speed gear. MACDONALD, J. S. May 16; 1947, No. 13246. [Classes 80 (i) and 80 (ii)] In a change-speed gear two gears are rigid with one shaft and are.engageable with two gears which are mounted on a second shaft so that they rotate relatively to the shaft when moved longitudinally, during a change of ratio both shafts being in positive engagement for a short interval of time. In one embodiment a gear 23 is freely mounted on a second shaft 1 having opposite handed helical splines 20, 21 with which are engaged splined collars 25 retained in recesses in the gear 23 by end plates 27. The end plates and the collars have holes 28, 30 in which slide the pins 35 attached to cages 34 to connect either of the collars 25 to the gear 23 by longitudinal movement of the bar 37. By this engagement the gear 23 may be accelerated or decelerated in its direction of rotation relative to the shaft as the gear is moved longitudinally thus facilitating the change of speed. In modifications the two splined portions of the shaft 1 are superimposed to reduce the overall dimensions of the gearbox, and the selector bar 37 carrying the forks 32, 33 is moved at a rate proportional to the speed of shaft 1. In the latter modification, as shown in Fig. 4, the fork 38 is carried on two shafts 51 having cam grooves 57 and rotated in opposite directions through gearing 52, 53, 54 from the shaft 1. For change of gear, a lever 63 rotates a cam 62 to depress a pin 59 against a spring 60 into the cam groove 57 thus causing longitudinal movement of the selector at a rate proportional to the shaft speed.
