Patent GB-886034-A (GB)
Title: Apparatus for cleansing and therapeutically treating the human vagina and vulva
IPC: A61M3/02
Filed: 1959-03-31
Abstract: 886,034. Surgical syringes. KNOCH, M. H. March 31, 1959 [April 10, 1958], No. 10929/59. Class 81 (2). A vaginal syringe comprises a cylinder 2 with two channels, one channel 7 extending through the cylinder and both channels opening into a diametrical -groove 12 in a nozzle 3, the one channel having at its other end a hollow flexible ball 1 and the other channel having openings 5, 13 near the ball and the nozzle respectively and a check valve 11. The other channel which is formed by the cylinder is connected to a tank through the cylinder opening 5 near the ball. For use, the syringe is passed through a hole 15 in a basin 14 which is placed over the vulva, its edge having a deformable insert 18. Additional openings which may be plugged are disposed in the cylinder and the basin. In use, the syringe is projected into the basin so that the cylinder openings near the nozzle are not exposed and, with a second opening (not shown) in the cylinder near the ball unplugged for the escape of air, the ball is alternately squeezed and released so that liquid from the tank fills the channels. The second cylinder opening is then plugged so that, on further squeezing and releasing the ball, liquid is alternately projected into and withdrawn from the vagina. Reference has been directed by the Comptroller to Specification 803,638.

Abstract: 986,848. Shaft furnaces. K. BECKENBACH. March 22, 1962 [June 21, 1961], No. 11008/62. Heading F4B. Air heated during upward flow through the cooling zone of a shaft furnace 10 for calcining limestone &c. passing through ports 16 into an annular header 18 and waste gases passing through ports 20 into an annular header 22, are conveyed together by lines 24, 26 and 28 to a fan 30 and/or injector 32 which drive the mixture to an annular header 38 feeding upper burners 12 through pipes 42 and lower burners 44 through pipes 40. Gas or oil is supplied through pipes 46a and 46b and combustion commences in chambers 15a and 15b. In a modification, Fig. 2 (not shown), a single header 18 collects a mixture of air and waste gases through the ports 16 for supply to the burners. In a further modification, Fig. 3 (not shown), the air/waste gas mixture passes through ports into a central flue and out through higher ports and ducts to an annular header whence it is distributed by the fan 30 and injector 32 to upper and lower burners. Another modification, Fig. 4 (not shown), has the air and waste gases separately extracted below a single row of burners. A final modification, Fig. 5, has the central flue 6 comprising a double-walled steel cylinder 63 suspended from hangers 62 in the upper part of the furnace, and incorporating a recuperator 85, the cylinder being lined externally and in the lower part internally with refractory 65. Air and waste gases passing through the entrance 67 to the central flue are distributed to the burners 76 by pipes 75 and injectors 79. Hot air leaves the recuperator 85 by a pipe 84 leading to a header 82 with pipes 83 to the burners having branches 81 serving the injectors 89. Waste gases leave the furnace either through a pipe 93 to a fan 92 or through ports 89 into the recuperator and by a pipe 91 to the fan 92, the streams being proportioned by dampers 94a, 94b. Air admitted to the cylinder 63 through ports 72 is taken off from the top of the furnace through a pipe 94. Specification 986,849 is referred to.

Title: A New or Improved Process for the Manufacture of Artificial Fuel from Waste Products.
Inventor: BROWN REGINALD
IPC: C10L5/46
Filed: 1916-08-07
Abstract: 110,770. Brown, R. Aug. 7, 1916. Composition fuel.-House refuse, ashes, dirt, and other waste materials are formed into briquettes by pressure and then impregnated with a binding-medium. The refuse is first sorted by means of travelling bands to eliminate iron and similar incombustible materials. It is then crushed and fed into hoppers which may be provided with steam pipes or other means for adding moisture. From the hoppers, the material is passed into presses where it is formed into briquettes, the moisture acting as a temporary binder. The briquettes are then dried and immersed in a mixture of oil tar and pitch in equal proportions, or the briquettes may be conveyed into closed cylinders which are then first exhausted and then supplied with the binding- medium under pressure.

Title: Improvements in or relating to machines for roughing shoe sole members
IPC: A43D37/00
Filed: 1960-03-30
Abstract: 946,665. Roughing shoe soles. BRITISH UNITED SHOE MACHINERY CO. Ltd. March 30, 1960 [April 1, 1959], No. 11208/60. Heading A3B. [Also in Division B4] A machine for roughing shoe soles having means for feeding the sole, guide means to engage the sole edge, and a roughing device 38 has additional features as follows. (1) The feed means comprises a pair of rotatable wheels 52, 54, which grip opposite faces of the sole. (2) An abutment member 56 coaxial with the upper feed wheel engages the inner wall of a rib 22 upstanding from the sole, and with the edge guide forms a guideway for the marginal part of the sole. (3) The end mill roughing device comprises a blade which is freely tiltable about an axis at right angles to the axis of rotation 40 of the device. The roughing device, driven via pulley 92 and mounted in a tilt bracket 64 which is urged against a stop 80 by spring 72, has a plurality of blades 102 supported on a fulcrum pin 100. Wheels 52, 54 are carried on shafts 106, 114 driven from pulley 120 via pinions 117, 110, 108, 112 and shaft 114 with its housing 116 is tiltable about screws 119 so that pinions 108, 112 still engage during such tilting. Housing 116 normally swings to a position in which arm 116b engages a top screw 128, but may be swung counterclockwise, Fig. 1, to engage the sole with wheel 52 and roughing device 38 by operation of a treadle (not shown) which acts via 148, 146, 142, 140 against spring 136. The work is yieldably supported by a heightwise-adjustable table 44 and on roller roll 42 mounted on an arm 152 which is carried by housing 116 and urged to operative position by spring 166. Guide rolls 46, 48 carried by housing 116 are adjustable as a unit to and from the roughing device, and roll 46 is adjustable relatively to roll 48. The blades 102 may have teeth 102a, as shown, or may comprise abrasive chips embedded in metallic material. Alternatively, the roughing device may be of abrasive material and have frusto conical inner and outer faces and a scalloped roughing edge. As shown, the abutment member 56 is integral with wheel 52 and of frusto-conical shape. The axis of rotation of the roughing device is offset relatively to the axis of rotation of the feed wheels in the direction of advancement of the work.

Title: Improvements in or relating to Locks.
Inventor: JONG ABRAHAM PHILIP DE
IPC: E05B45/08
Filed: 1918-07-09
Abstract: 121,437. Joug, A. P. de. July 9, 1918. Door bell alarms.-A door lock is arranged to co-operate with an electric door bell or other alarm device so that (1) unlocking can only be effected if the bell-push is simultaneously operated; (2) the bell may be disconnected from the lock during the daytime and function as an ordinary door bell; (3) an authorized person can unlock the door at night without simultaneously ringing the bell by pressing the bell-push when the key has attained a predetermined position. A vertically-sliding frame 6 is provided through which works the night bolt 2, the lower bevelled edge 3 of the frame engaging in a recess in the day latch 1. The frame carries the armature of an electro-magnet 10 and is retained in the position shown by a contact spring 9, which in the upper and lower positions of the frame engages contacts 21, 20, respectively. To open the door, a person presses the push 17, thereby closing the. circuit of the bell 19, and withdraws the bolt 2 by means of a key, whereupon a rounded projection 4 on the bolt raises the frame 6, the contact arm 9 simultaneously passing on to contact 21, breaking the bell circuit and closing the circuit of the electro-magnet 10; the electro-magnet retains the frame in the raised position, permitting the withdrawal of the latch 1. If the push 17 is operated at the moment the projection 4 has lifted the frame 6, the bell does not ring, so that an authorized person knowing the angular position of the key which corresponds to this position of the parts can open the door withut ringing the alarm. By adjusting the projection 4, this angular position of the key can be varied. By turning a lever 12, the frame 6 may be raised into the inoperative position for the daytime, the contact arm 13 passing from contact 16 to the contact 15 to complete the bell circuit.
