The conveyer 10 comprises a pair of spaced endless chains 70, 72 interconnected by rotatable shafts 112 each mounting a carrier 75 comprising a star wheel 110 fixed to the shaft to form pockets P for the containers and a cylindrical drum 128 with an elongate slot 130, mounted to revolve about the shaft and star wheel. Fixed to each drum 128 are two cam plates 140, 219, the former 140 engages a guide track 144, to position the slot 130 in a position with respect to an adjacent carrier to retain the containers within the carrier and is over ridden by the cam 219 which engages ramps 220, 223, 225 at the discharge and feeding stations to correspondingly position said slot in a lower or upper position whereby processed containers may be discharged and fresh containers loaded. The shafts 112 are continuously rotated on passage through the treatment stations by engagement between a pinion 122 on said shaft and a rack 146 and further rotated by a Geneva cross 126 fixed to said shaft 112 and suitably driven when the carriers are stationary at the discharge and feeding station to rotate the star wheel and successively discharge or load the respective pockets P through the slot 130. The processed and fresh containers are correspondingly received from and fed to the conveyers 10 by pocketed conveyers 248, 234 driven in synchronism with the intermittent drive means. The intermittent drive comprises a hydraulic control circuit (175), Fig. 8 (not shown), to activate in succession a hydraulic ram 150 to clamp the conveyer 10 with respect to a guide 158 and a further ram 152 with a finger 162 to engage the conveyer and transmit stepwise motion thereto.

In a universal digital computer in which instructions are selected under control of a sequence control switch 21 and the instructions may include a special function letter (J) for initiating programme sub-routines, and secondary symbols indicating the type of subroutine to be carried out, a permanent storage location 30 (which may be part of the main store 2 or of the arithmetic unit, not shown) is reserved for the content of the sequence control switch and each time an instruction containing the special function letter (called a " symbolized instruction ") is transferred to the instruction store 17 the content of the sequence control switch is transferred to the location 30 through a gate 28. The switch 21 may comprise a circulating loop store or shift register and normally has its content successively increased by " 1 " through input 25. It controls the read-out of instructions from store 2, e.g. a magnetic drum, to store 17 connected to function decoder 19. As shown, output 26, operative for function letter J, opens a gate 32, as well as 28, to enable a fixed first address common to all sub-routines, to be passed to switch 21 from encoder 31, the selection of the subsequent instruction sequence being determined by the secondary symbol. Alternatively, the first address for the required sub-routine may be contained in the symbolized instruction and is then passed to switch 21 via input 25. The output 26 may also open a further gate (not shown) to transfer the instruction in 17 to a further permanent storage location. An example of a calculation employing cosines is given, the instructions being read in from a perforated tape.

Projectile fuses.- Consists in providing grenades or trench mortar bombs with a pivoted weighted safety member, which is so constructed and arranged that it renders the firing mechanism inoperative until after the projectile has been thrown and becomes automatically detached during flight. Fig. 3 shows a grenade in which the striker of a time-fuse is normally held up by a pivoted safetylever G. Overlying this lever is a weighted arm A, the end opposite to the weight B being formed with a clip C which pivotally engages with a fixed pin E. When the grenade is thrown, the arm A turns outwardly about the pivot E, eventually, at a point depending on the mass of the weight B, becoming detached and allowing the lever G to fly outwards in the usual manner. The application of a weighted arm such as A to a percussion grenade of the kind described in Specification 125,100 is described.

Abstract: 1476874 Animal traps L C THORNING 13 March 1975 10588/75 Heading AIM An animal trap comprises a frame having a stem 12 fast with an arm 17 to which links 20 are pivoted at 24. Levers 18. 19 are pivoted to respective links at 2-5 and have their inner ends pivoted together at 27 and guided for vertical movement by the stem 12. A spiral spring 15 has its inner end secured to the base of the stem and in its unstressed condition either lies in the plane of the base or its free end lies below the base. To set the trap the levers 18, 19 are brought to the chain line position in which pivots 24, 25 are vertically aligned; the spring is stressed and its free end placed on the levers 18, 19 in line with the pivots 24, 25. A bait holder 28 resest on a collar 13 fast with the stem and is freely movable. When an animal takes bait from spikes or teeth formed on the holder, the holder tilts and displaces the inner ends of levers 18, 19 upwardly, whereupon the spring collapses the linkage to the full line position, the free end of the spring slipping off the levers so that the spring assumes its unstressed condition and kills the animal. The increasing radius of the successive coils of the spring is designed to ensure that animals over a range of sizes are all contacted at substantially the same place and killed efficiently. and the greater leverage exerted by a small animal acting near the bottom of the skirt of the holder ensures that a small animal can trip the trap as easily as a larger animal feeding from higher up.
