Title: Apparatus for the mechanical shelling of cashew nuts
Inventor: RIZZOLI ERALDO
IPC: A23N5/00
Filed: 1964-08-12
Abstract: 1,032,594. Shelling cashew nuts. OLTREMARE INDUSTRIA PRODITTI ALIMENTARI E DERIVATI S.P.A. Aug. 12, 1964, No. 32895/64. Heading A2Q. In apparatus for shelling cashew nuts, indivdual nuts A are placed, with their convex ridges upwards and their noses pointing towards a table 13, in spring clamps 102, 202, 302 - - - - attached to an endless chain 1, which is moved stepwise, e.g. by Geneva gear, to bring each nut between a horizontally reciprocating pusher 4 and a nut- and pusher-receiving bore 5 in a block 3, which is reciprocated, on the horizontal table 13, towards and away from the chain 1. A pair of jaws 6, 106 are located in gaps in the wall of the bore and are urged towards each other by springs 7, 107 around the screw-threaded jaw stems 8, 108, which pass through the vertical sides of the block and carry nuts 10,110 for adjusting the stroke of the jaws. The block 3 is provided with a pair of aligned vertical slots 12, which receive upper and lower cutting blades 16 and 17 whose cutting edges are shaped substantially to the contours of a nut. The blades 16 and 17 are mounted in the inner ends of coaxially slidable punches 14 and 15. Blade 17 passes through a guide slot 18 in the table 13. The punch 15 is mounted in a portion 19 of the frame of the apparatus and is urged away from the punch 14 by a spring 20. The punch 14 is mounted in a bush 22 and carries a collar 25 having a tooth 24, which engages a pin 23 secured to a bar 123 fastened to the block 3, so that, during the movement of the block towards the chain 1, the pin turns the punch 14 and the blade 16 anticlockwise. During movement of the block towards the cutting blades, a spring 29 returns the blade 16 to a position coplanar with the blade 17, limited by contact of a wing 26 on the collar 25 with a fixed stop 27. The spring 29 also urges the punch 14 away from the punch 15. When the block 3 is near a spring clamp, e.g. clamp 102 as shown, the pusher 4 pushes a nut A from the clamp into the bore 5, so that the nut is clamped between the jaws 6, 106. When the block 3 retreats from the chain 1, the coplanar blades 16 and 17 are received in the slots 12 and the nut is brought between the blades, which are urged towards each other to cut through its outer shell and deeply into its inner shell. After this cutting action, the block 3 moves away from the blades, so that the nut is removed from the jaws 6, 106 and retained impaled between the blades. When the block has moved clear of the blades, the blade 16 executes the aforementioned turning movement and thus cracks the inner shell of the nut, so that the halves of the shell come apart and release the kernel. The pusher 4, the block 3 and the blades 16 and 17 may be actuated from a driving shaft 34, through cam, lever and link mechanism, Fig. 4 (not shown).

The invention relates to the production of a colour television luminance signal having a low noise level. Red (R), Green (G) and Blue (B) colour signals are produced by cameras 1, 1<SP>1</SP> and 1<SP>11</SP> respectively and are fed to individual gamma correctors 3, 3<SP>1</SP> and 311 to produce corrected signals R<SP>1</SP>, G<SP>1</SP> and B<SP>1</SP>. A matrix 4 produces a luminance signal. Y<SP>1</SP>=.3R<SP>1</SP>+.59G<SP>1</SP>+.11B<SP>1</SP> and colour difference signals (R<SP>1</SP> - Y<SP>1</SP>) and (B<SP>1</SP> - Y<SP>1</SP>). The gamma correction will have produced amplified noise signals in the luminance signal Y<SP>1</SP>, and to remove these the luminance signal is passed through a lowpass filter 7 to one input of an adding circuit 9. A second uncorrected luminance signal Y is produced by matrix 13 from the uncorrected colour signals R, G, and B, and is passed through a high-pass filter 8, having a characteristic complementary to that of filter 7, to a second input of adding circuit 9. The two filtered luminance signals combine to produce the desired low noise luminance signal, which may be added to subcarriers modulated by the colour difference signals. In another embodiment, Fig. 1 (not shown), the uncorrected green signal G is used alone for the high frequency content of the luminance-signal.
