Abstract: 1492517 Slicing foodstuffs POPEIL BROS Inc 9 March 1976 [11 July 1975] 09333/76 Heading A4C A food slicer consists of a body 10 with parallel side walls 42 mounted on a base 11, a blade 24 attached to a table part 14 extending angularly between the walls, and a rotatable turret 20 having a pair of opposed plane side 23, 27 and a pair of opposed sides having respectively sets of large and small uniformly spaced upstanding blades 70, 75, the table part being fixed into either upper or lower guideways 21, 22 so that in combination with the sides 23, 27 the form of which when uppermost slopes upwards towards the blade, either plain slices of four different thicknesses may be cut or, with the sets of blades, large and small square section chips. A rear table part 15 slides in guides 72 and has its forward end located in a notch in the turret, both the table parts being located by spring-loaded levers 18, 16 which enable a projection 63 to enter a detent 62. The table parts have cut-outs 50, 56 to enable them to be gripped for withdrawal, movement rearwardly of part 15 being necessary before the turret can rotate. A spindle 80 passes through the turret in a bearing 89 at one end and is connected with a knob 26 at its other end. Withdrawal of the knob against a spring 85 enables a square section boss 86 thereof to leave a bore 88 and allow the turret to be rotated. A pusher 30 is manually held on top of the food stuff 5 and has a hand grip 31 and in a concave base pins 40 to retain the foodstuff, a guide 39 wider than the body side walls preventing the pins engaging the blade 24. In a modification the pusher has a plane base.

Abstract: 344,679. Weighing-apparatus fitted to machines for excavating and handling superphosphate &c. AKTIESELSKABET DANSK SVOVLSYRE & SUPERPHOSPHAT-FABRIK, 15, Amaliegade, Copenhagen.-(Assignees of Warming, K. ; 48, Vestre Boulevard, Copenhagen.) March 24, 1930, No. 9345. Convention date, Sept. 20, 1929. [Class 143.] In a wheel mounted machine for handling superphosphate or like material, embodying a substantially vertical excavator C, capable of swinging in an horizontal direction about a pivot A, the pivot is mounted on an elevated bridge B below which is situated on the car the machinery for sifting, crushing, filling into sacks and weighing the superphosphate, and a sewing machine Q for closing the sacks. The excavator whilst scraping the material from the heap is automatically swung about the pivot A by a pinion G and electric motor Y, and discharges the scraped-off material on to a shaking sieve I. The coarser material is crushed by rollers K and passes to a hopper L together with the material passed through the sieve. From the hopper L the material passes through the automatic valves M of two sack weighers. The filled sacks when released from their holders O fall upon a belt conveyer P and are carried to the sewing machine Q by which they are closed, after which the conveyer transfers them to a roller conveyer S, or a smooth steel plate, leading to the ground level. The roller conveyer may be swung upwards when desired.

Title: Improvements in Devices for Sharpening Safety Razor Blades.
Inventor: KAMPMANN GERHARDT SIGVERT REHL
IPC: B24D15/08
Filed: 1919-04-12
Abstract: 125,964. Kampmann, G. S. R. April 25, 1918, [Convention date]. Stropping-apparatus.-Relates to apparatus for sharpening Gillette and like blades, of the type wherein two stropping- rollers are rotated in the same direction, the blade being held between them in an inclined position so that both cutting-edges are treated on one side simultaneously. According to the invention, both rollers a are mounted in a frame consisting of two side plates e, s held together by four bolts h. This frame is rotatable about the axis g of the blade-holding device, the rollers being at the same time driven at a relatively high speed by planet pinions b gearing with a central wheel d fixed to the outer casing. The blade-holder is made in two parts; one u carrying an arm m is retained in the frame by a collar f, whilst the other, o, carrying the crank-handle i, can be withdrawn in order to fit the razor blade over projections v. The part o is then replaced and is held in position by fitting into a hub portion q on the arm n. When the handle i is rotated, the edges k, l of the blade come into contact with the rollers a, and push them round, together with the frame e, s, h, the rollers thereby being rotated on their own axes through the planet gearing b, d. The friction of the moving parts allows sufficient pressure to be applied between the blade and the rollers. Excessive pressure is prevented by the contact of the arm m against adjustable stops n on the side plate c. The crankhandle is rotated in the reverse direction to sharpen the other side of the cutting-edges, the blade moving into the new position, whilst the rolls a are statinary so that they cannot be accidentally cut. In a modified form, the wheel d may be rotated by the crank-handle, the blade and casing being fixed.

Abstract: 535,647. Road signals for controlling traffic. AUTOMATIC TELEPHONE & ELECTRIC CO., Ltd., and THOMPSON, G. W. June 4, 1940, No. 9747. [Class 118 (ii)] In a two-phase controller particularly for use at a pedestrian crossing but also applicable to the control of two intersecting road traffic lanes on a fixed time basis, all the lamp display periods are timed by means of a single condenser QA which is charged to the striking voltage of a neon tube NT over different resistances under the control of a pair of cyclically-operating relays A, B. which also control the lamps The different resistances are provided by tappings on a resistance 10, which are jumpered to adjusting switches AGS, BGS and: a.terminal AMB. When the controller is installed at a pedestrian crossing, right of way normally rests with the road phase A, all 'the relays being inoperative, and a call for the pedestrian phase B is registered on relay P by the actuation of a push-button PPB. As soon as QA is fully charged over AGS in consequence of the minimum green period for phase A having expired, the neon tube NT strikes in series with relay FA, which by its momentary operation connects up relay A and discharges QA rapidly. A charging circuit for QA is made over terminal AMB to time the amber period, at the end of which NT strikes in series with relay FB, which acts like FA to connect up relay B. QA now charges over BGS to time the phase B green period, and ultimately operates FA again to release A, whereupon QA is again connected to terminal AMB to time the amber period, after which a second operation of FB releases B and completes the cycle. No amber lamp is provided for the pedestrian phase B. When the controller is used at a road intersection, however, the phase B amber lamp is connected at 13, 14 as shown dotted and the connection at 11, 12 to the phase B red lamp is removed. Relay P is not required, and its contact p2 is replaced by a permanent connection, so that right of way is given to the two phases for fixed time periods.

Abstract: Stable dispersions of polymethacrylic acid esters are obtained by agitating a monomeric methacrylic acid ester, containing a small proportion of catalyst, e.g. benzoyl peroxide, with so much of an aqueous solution of partially saponified polyvinyl acetate having a saponification number between 40 and 130 and of which a 4 per cent solution by weight has a viscosity between 10 and 30 centipoises at 20 DEG  C. as will give between 0.75 and 5 per cent by weight of partially saponified polyvinyl acetate in the dispersion until a dispersion of the monomer is obtained and then heating to effect polymerisation.  A non-cationic surface tension reducing agent, e.g. the diethylcyclohexylamine salt of dodecyl hydrogen sulphate, may be added to facilitate solution of the polyvinyl acetate.  The dispersions are used as drying agents for textiles; they may be used alone or with starch, dextrin, talc, clay and gums.  They are compatible with heavy metal salts and may be used with plasticizers for methacrylic acid esters and wax water-repellent compositions. Examples are given of the preparation of dispersions of methyl-n-butyl; and iso-butyl methacrylates and their application, with and without wax, to cotton and viscose textiles by means of squeeze rolls followed by drying to give a finish resistant to laundering and discolouration by light and heat.
