Title: Baiting machine for fishing lines
IPC: A01K91/18
Filed: 1948-01-13
Abstract: 634,965. Baiting fishing hooks. ANDRIST. D. M. Jan. 13, 1948, No. 1037. Convention date, March 19, 1947. [Class 48] [Also in Group XXX] A device for baiting fishing-lines comprises hook-guiding means, and means for guiding a supply of bait towards said hookguiding means. A shown, a succession of fishing hooks 22, attached to a fishing-line 20 by short lengths of line 21, is drawn through a tube 3, at one end of which is mounted a hopper 1 adapted to guide a supply of bait 2 towards the tube. The other end of the tube is bevelled in order to guide each hook into a slot formed in the upper side of the tube, the hook retracting a spring-loaded plunger 14 before entering the slot. The hook is guided by a pair of divergent vanes 10 into the hopper where it impales the lowermost bait against the resistance offered by a weighted door 11, the latter then opening to allow the passage of the baited hook.

IPC: F15B15/26
Filed: 1961-01-10
Abstract: 928,609. Hydraulic apparatus. LIONEL-PACIFIC Inc. Jan. 10, 1961, No. 1039/61. Class 69 (2). A mid-stroke locking device comprises a piston assembly which is axially movable in a cylinder 1 having ports 12, 13 at opposite ends for the admission of pressure fluid and has a piston 2 having a rod 20 extending from one end of the cylinder, an axial bore 22 in the assembly communicating with the opposite ends of the cylinder, a plunger 5 movable axially in the bore in a first direction by fluid pressure within either end of the cylinder, spring means 50 to move the plunger in a second direction on relief of pressure in the ends of the cylinder, and complemental fixed and movable locking means 14, 3 carried by the cylinder and the piston assembly, respectively, disengageable by fluid-pressure induced movement of the plunger and engageable by the spring pressure movement of the plunger. The locking means consists of a groove 14 in the cylinder wall engageable by radially-movable dogs 3 movable by links 4 connected to the plunger 5. The plunger is normally urged by the spring 50 to a position wherein the dogs are pressed outwardly to engage the groove when aligned therewith. When fluid pressure is supplied through the port 13, the pressure in the right-hand end of the cylinder moves the plunger against the spring 50 to retract the dogs 3 from the groove 14 to permit movement of the piston, the dogs being retained in the retracted position by spring-pressed balls 6. When fluid is supplied to the port 12, the pressure in the left-hand end of the cylinder is communicated by a passage 23 to a face 51a of the plunger which is again moved to retract the plungers from the groove.

[Also in Group XL (c)] An oscillator comprising a velocity modulation valve having an external feed-back path G including a bandpass filter F and, if required, a phase adjuster D, as described in the parent Specification, has its frequency varied by adjusting the beam current and thus the phase change in the valve. This may be effected by adjusting the voltage applied to Wehnelt electrode W, as shown, or to a control grid or an auxiliary anode. The linearity of the adjustment may be improved by simultaneously varying the electron velocity by varying the collector voltage.

Abstract: 431,788. Treating gases with liquids. CHEMISCHE FABRIK CURTIUS AKT.- GES., Duisburg-on-Rhine, Germany. Jan. 15, 1934, No. 1475. Convention date, Jan. 18, 1933. [Class 55 (ii)] In a reaction tower, the filling consisting of elongated plate-shaped or hollow bodies is poured in from the walls so that the bodies arrange themselves, with respect to the incoming flow of liquid, at an acute angle towards the axis of the tower, whereby the downflowing liquid is directed towards the centre. If the filling consists of hollow bodies of less height than diameter, it is poured in from the ccntre of the top of the tower so that the bodies arrange themselves at an obtuse angle towards the axis. The arrangement of the filling is rendered possible by an initial formation of the requisite inclined surfaces obtained by disposing the bodies accordingly at the base of the tower.

Abstract: 346,717. Wireless signalling; thermionic valve circuits. STANDARD TELEPHONES & CABLES, Ltd., Columbia House, Aldwych, London.- Assignees of Espenschied, L. ; 99, Newbold Place, Kew Gardens, New York, U.S.A.) Jan. 15, 1930, No. 1487. Convention date, March 30, 1929. [Class 40 (v).] In a high-frequency transmitting or receiving system employing a number of frequency-changing stages, the several local frequencies are supplied as harmonics derived from an adjacent modulation stage. As shown in Fig. 1 applied to a frequency changing receiver, the input signals of high frequency q are demodulated in four stages D1 .. D4 separated by filters F1 .. F5 and amplifiers A1 .. A3 so as to produce the final low-frequency signal s. The local frequencies supplied to the demodulators all originate in an oscillator P, which supplies a frequency P to the last stage D4. The preceding stage D3 is supplied with a frequency NP, derived as a harmonic from the demodulator D4, and selected by filter F1. Similarly the stage D2 is supplied with a frequency KNP and the stage D1 with a frequency MKNP, all multiples of the basic frequency P. Fig. 2 shows a suitable valve circuit for the stage D4, the input being applied in pushpull to a pair of valves and the local oscillation P being applied in parallel. The signal output is derived jointly from the output coils, and the harmonic frequency NP from a coil in the common portion of the plate circuits. In transmitting, the low-frequency input s is stepped up in frequency in the successive stages, emerging as a highfrequency output q.
