IPC: B65H75/22
Filed: 1921-03-09
Abstract: 180,776. Wooding, H. G. Maxch 9, 1921. Bobbins.-A metal bobbin is formed of a tubular body 1, Fig. 1, and flange members 2 tightly fitted into the body member by means of a projection 4, the inner flange members 3 being spun over at 5 to engage the peripheries 6 of corrugated discs 7 which form the outer members of the flanges 2. The discs 7 are provided with inturned tubular projections .9, which form the bearings for the bobbin and fit into the ends 10 of an inner tubular distance-member 11. Instead of providing bearings 9 on the discs 7. the inner members 3 may be formed at the inner end d the projection 4 with disc portions provided with the central tubular bearing members 9 passing outwards through the end discs 7 and spun over to retain the discs 7 in position. In a further modification, Fig. 4, a projecting rib 16 on each inner' member 3 is adapted to engage in an annular groove 17 formed in the body 1, the central portion 18 of the member 3 being formed to extend over the end of the body 1 and to engage the bearing 9. Each flange 2, Fig. 5, may be secured on the body 1 by projections 19 on an inturned tubular portion 20 of the member 3 engaging in bayonet slots 21 in the outer edge of the body 1. In a further modification, Fig. R, the tubular extension 4 of the member 3 is again bent outwardly at 22 to form the end plate 23 which carries the bearing 9 and the member 7.

Abstract: 123,241. Guy, F. E. May 6, 1918. Multiplying and dividing apparatus, interlocking, operating and setting means of.-In pinwheel and cam-disk machines of the Ohdner type, described in Specification 13700/90, the displacement of the crank-handle a from the normal inoperative position shown, relieves a. slide rod d from the pressure of the spring pin b within the handle, whereby normally it is maintained in an inner position. The rod is thereupon forced outwards by a spring c and carries with it a rod g axially-situated, within the sleeve k to which the pin-wheels are fast, and having cut-away portions g<1> normally opposite to spring plungers m, Fig. 5, carried by the pin-wheels with their tails passing through apertures l in the sleeve. As the combined setting-levers and cam-disks j are adjusted, teeth upon their inner peripheries cause the spring plungers to reciprocate, unless the solid portions of the axial rod g have been opposed to the plunger-tail slots in the sleeve, whereupon the setting-levers become locked. The connexion between the two rods may be by means of arms f, or by lever parts, and the spring effecting their movement may be variously applied.

Title: Improvements in or relating to fermentation processes
Inventor: ROYSTON MICHAEL GEORGE
IPC: C12C11/00
Filed: 1965-02-22
Abstract: In the fermentation of brewers' wort by yeast to produce beer, a reservoir vessel 1 is charged with unfermented wort through a stand pipe 8a, the wort is continuously circulated up through a jacketted fermenting tower 2 containing a high concentration of yeast, e.g. 10% dry weight basis, via the lines 4 and 12 until the desired degree of fermentation has been achieved, and the fermented wort (beer) is withdrawn through the stand pipe 8a and outlet line 7.  The apparatus includes a yeast settling zone 3, and gas outlet valves 10 and 11. Circulation of liquid may be achieved as follows: (1) by operation of a pump 5; (2) by natural circulation based on the density difference between unfermented liquid and the mixture of <PICT:1067414/C6-C7/1> fermented liquid, gas and fermenting agent; or (3) by the lifting effect of the fermentation gases. For a seven day operational cycle utilizing fresh wort on four days only, the fermentation of a first wort, employing an initial yeast concentration in the fermenting tower of 10% dry weight basis and a reservoir vessel eight times the volume of the fermenting tower, is completed within 24 hours. For the last brew of the week the yeast concentration is reduced to a predetermined level providing a three day fermentation.  When wort is once again available the yeast concentration has increased by natural growth and a faster fermentation is obtained e.g. in two days.  A further fermentation can then be achieved in 24 hours, giving four fermentations in seven days.

Abstract: 438,031. Snap - action switches. COOKSON, E., 11, Granville Road, Blackpool. March 10, 1934, Nos. 7643/34 and 7482/35. [Class 38 (v)] [See also Group [XXXVI] A switch operated or controlled by a pin 16 of a plug member 15 comprises a pair of contact arms 17 connected by an insulating cross-bar 19 to which an operating-spring 20 is attached, the other end of the spring being attached to a lever 21, Fig. 3, 27, Fig. 6, rocking on a pivot 22 to move the line of action of the spring 20 to one side or the other of the pivot 17<a> of the arms 17 so as to give a quick make-and-break dead-centre action. The side of the aperture 21<a> in the lever 21 or of the fork 27b of the lever 27 engages the cross-bar 19 to give positive actuation of the arms 17 prior to the spring passing the dead-centre. In the form shown in Fig. 3 the lever 21 is operated directly by the plug 16 and a return spring 23 so that the switch is closed by insertion of the plug and opened by the spring on its removal. In the form shown in Fig. 6, the plug 16 depresses a separate lever 26 on insertion thereby removing the pressure of the spring 23 from the lever 27 which is furnished with a handle 28 for opening and closing the switch. On removal of the plug the spring 23 is allowed to act on the lever 27 whereby the switch is opened.

[Also in Group XXXV] In a measuring or control system an inductive device comprises magnetic members ST, R, provided with primary and secondary windings P1-P4, S1-S4 and with windings A1-A4, B1- B4, which produce a torque opposing any produced by the controlling means, such as a gyro G. The primary P1-P4 is energized from 10, 11, by A.C. of comparatively high-frequency and any displacement of the rotor R causes a current to flow in the secondary S1-S4, and a signal is applied to the grids of push-pull valves V1, V2, which may be normally conducting. The anodes of valves V1, V2, are energized by transformers from the same A.C. supply and their circuits include the windings A1-A4, B1-B4, which (or one of which) if V1, V2, do not normally conduct) thus produce a torque tending to eliminate the displacement. A control or indicating output is derived at 22, 23. The winding A1-A4, B1-B4, may alternatively be energized with A.C. of frequency the same as, or different from, that applied at 10, 11. A phase-advancing network (not described) is connected in the amplifier output to reduce hunting. Under all working conditions, the magnetic circuits of ST and R remain unsaturated.
