Patent GB-768384-A (GB)
Abstract: 768,384. Fish heading. CAMERON, A. D. Nov. 3, 1955 [Nov. 5, 1954], No. 32052/54. Class 28(2) The head of a cod &c. is cut along the line b-b by a pair of rotary concave disc knives 8 between which the head is drawn down by a pair of serrated rollers 8 on the knife shafts 9. The fish is hand located longitudinally by its pectoral fins, the head being first hand placed so that these fins are ahead of slots 27 in a yielding guide 12 and then drawn back by its tail until the fins are engaged and then drawn back whereby its fins are spread out by a sharp edge on the slots 27 and so become located therein. After the first lower part of the cut b the tail is let go whereby the fish swings down about its head as a pivot so that the latter top part of the cut b is located to minimize the loss of flesh. Below the cutters 8 is a stationary V- shaped cutter 23 which removes any skin connecting the head to the body as it passes down one side or other of the point of the cutter 23. The support of the cutter 23 is inclined down and away from the knives 8 so that the fish is free to swing down. The serrated rollers 24 are driven by the knives 8 through a resilient coupling 25.

Title: Improvements in or relating to heat exchangers
IPC: F28F3/02
Filed: 1978-06-07
Abstract: The present invention relates to heat exchanger elements and to heat exchangers including a number of such similar elements. Heat exchanger elements (HE, M and MHE) have primary and secondary heat transfer surfaces (5,7) which are cast integrally with one another, the secondary heat transfer surfaces (7) preferably being formed by pins (7) and preferably by investment casting. The invention enables heat exchanger elements to be made of modular form to serve as manifold elements and to incorporate integral manifolding. The invention overcomes the difficulties normally experienced when joining aluminium to itself, enables a heat exchanger assembled from such elements to achieve a compactness which surpasses that which is currently achieved with separate secondary heat transfer surfaces fabricated from foil, with additional thermo-dynamic benefits particularly with high temperature heat exchangers and permits the assembly; of heat exchangers in a variety of ways to suit specific applications.

Title: Apparatus For Making Helical Wires
IPC: B21F35/00
Filed: 1978-06-22
Abstract: The apparatus makes twin helical wires, mainly for use in spring interiors for beds. Uniform lengths of helical wire are produced intermittently, precisely when required, or a single length can be produced for incorporation in the end of a spring interior. Primary shaft 17 carries primary rotors 18 and rotates in fixed bearings 16. Secondary shaft 35 carries secondary rotors 36 and rotates in self-aligning bearings which are individually movable in a vertical direction. The shafts with their rotors are driven in opposite directions. The rotors at each side of the apparatus can grip a wire and force it against associated fixed abutments 50 and 51 so that it bends into helical shape. When both secondary rotors are lowered two helical wires are produced, but when one secondary rotor only is lowered a single helical wire is produced. Although the secondary shaft with its rotors is then tilted, this does not impair operation of the rotors. <IMAGE>
