Title: Improvements in and relating to printing apparatus
Inventor: MAUDSLEY BRIAN GRANVILLE
IPC: B41J7/36
Filed: 1960-01-22
Abstract: 929,287. Electric selective signalling systems. SOLARTRON ELECTRONIC GROUP Ltd. Feb. 27, 1961 [Jan. 22, 1960], No. 2524/60. Class 40 (1). A high-speed printer operated from incoming digital information comprises a series of continuously rotating type-wheels 10, 11, 12, 13, a pulse generator 29-40, and electrically operated print hammers operated by a circuit comprising a pulse counter 100 adjustable from a datum setting so that when an information code is received to be printed the angular deviation of the equivalent character on the type-wheel is compensated for. The pulse generator comprises a series of ferro-magnetic blades 29 on a wheel 28 passing a magnetized core. There is one blade for each character and a further generator 35-40 makes a counter resetting or zeroing pulse in a position on the type-wheel carrying no characters. This pulse enters the counter 100 by terminal 107, Fig. 6, and character position pulses from winding 34 enter the four stage binary counters 101, 103, 104, 105 of counter 100 by terminal 47, so that at any instant the count is representative of the position of the type-wheels. When an information code is received it is converted into a binary form (see Fig. 4, not shown) and entered in a store, one store for each wheel, and comprises bi-stables which are set to counts indicating the characters to be printed. These counts are modified by the appropriate count in the counter 100 and cause the buffer store to count down from its modified count to zero. When this state is reached and all bi-stables store zero, further counting down is prevented and printing occurs by means of the hammer electromagnet 15. The apparatus is capable of printing more than 10 lines per second.

Abstract: 890,591. Reciprocating pumps. BUDZICH, T.- Jan. 23, 1960, No. 2544/60. Glass 102(1). [Also in Group XXIX] In a hydraulic pump (or motor) comprising a rotatable cylinder barrel 18, Figs. 1, 2, having a plurality of parallel bores 34 reciprocably mounting pump pistons 29a, and a fixed combined valve plate and pump cover 11 having suction and discharge passages 21, 22 opening into arcuate ports at the valve face to co-operate with ports 77 in the bores 34, the barrel is rotated by a drive shaft 54 through bevel gearing 55, 56 mounted respectively on the shaft and a member 27 connected by a universal joint 29 to the barrel. The member 27 is also operably connected through sockets 31 and spherically-ended rods 28 with the pump pistons and supports on ball-races 42, 44 a yoke fitting 46 swingable about the drive shaft axis. The yoke fitting is formed with gear teeth 64 which engage similar teeth on a pinion 65 rotatable by a handle 76 to vary the stroke of the pump pistons and hence pump output. The yoke fitting is rotatable so that the axis of the member 27 can lie on either side of the barrel axis to permit reversal of flow through the pump (or motor). As shown in Fig. 1, the bevel gears 55, 56 are of equal diameter to provide a 1 to 1 ratio. In a modification, the bevel gear 55 may be replaced by other gears of smaller diameter and the bevel gear 56 mounted for adjustment along the member 27 to co-operate with the smaller diameter gears to provide ratios other than 1 to 1.

Title: Improvements in or relating to interlocking switch-plugs
IPC: H01R13/707
Filed: 1932-01-28
Abstract: 377,902. Plug couplings. PARSONS, Ltd., C. H. and HANDLEY, G. B., Britannia Works, Wharfdale Road, Tyseley, Birming- ham. Jan. 28, 1932, No. 2563. [Class 38 (i).] Combined with electric switches.-In an interlocking switch plug of the type in which the switch and the plug socket are so connected by a plate, slide or the like that the switch cannot be switched on until the plug has been inserted, and the plug cannot be withdrawn until the switch has been switched off, the plug socket a (shown as for the earthing pin of a three-pin plug) is open at its lower end and is surrounded by a spring-pressed sleeve d which is movable axially on the socket and extends across the lower end of the socket and carries a tongue f projecting through a slot l in a plate k. The plate k is connected to the switch by a cranked lever q pivoted at r on the switch bridge, and so long as the tongue f projects through the slot l, the plate k is locked and the switch cannot be switched on. The slot l is wider at one end than at the other, and when the switch is off, as shown, the wider end of the slot is in line with the socket. Insertion of the plug depresses the sleeve d against the action of the spring e, and carries the tongue f below the plate k. The switch can then be operated, the plate k then moving so that the narrow end of the slot l engages a reduced part n on the plug pin m ; the plug cannot then be withdrawn until the switch has been switched off. The sleeve d may be held against rotation on the socket by a lug g working in a slot h in a frame j, or a projecting pin on the socket may work in a slot on the sleeve, or the sleeve and the exterior of the socket may be of non-circular cross section; part of the sleeve may be cut away, or the sleeve may be of skeleton or spider form. As shown, one end of the plate k is guided in a horizontal slot in the frame j, and the other end is joined to a rocking arm p, but a modified construction is described, Figs. 7 and 8 (not shown), in whch the switch mechanism and the plug sockets are in line instead of side by side, the end of the plate k shown as connected to the arm p being then directly connected to the switch by a link.

Title: Improvements in and relating to magnetic transmission
IPC: G01F23/50
Filed: 1944-02-18
Abstract: 5 77, 19 3. Indicating liquid-levels. BRITISH THOMSON-HOUSTON CO., Ltd. Feb. 18, 1944, No. 3033. Convention date, Feb. 23, 1943. [Class 123 (i)] [Also in Groups XIX and XXXV] The shaft 13 carrying the pointer 12 of a liquid level gauge is mounted on a smooth cylindrical shaft 16 which is magnetized with its poles across a diameter, the axis of the poles being spiralled along the shaft as at 17. If the tank varies in cross-section, the pitch of the spiral varies accordingly. The shaft 16 is surrounded, by a non-magnetic tube 18 on which a float 19 is constrained to move vertically only, by a guide rib 21. The float carries a circular permanent magnet 23 with poles 24, so that as the float moves with changes of liquid level, the shaft 16 and pointer 12 rotate. The tube 18 is sealed to exclude the liquid. In a modification, Fig. 2 (not shown), the float is guided by projecting diametral pins moving in a vertical slot in a surrounding tube, and the rotation of the shaft is transmitted to the pointer through a sealing diaphragm, by a magnetic coupling. In other modifications, Figs. 4 and 5 (not shown), the float carries two pairs of poles and moves over a pair of parallel magnetized shafts, the spiral of one of which has ten times the pitch of the other so that unit and tens pointers of a gauge can be driven.. In Fig. 6, a spirally-magnetized shaft 49 is rotated by a magnetic gear-wheel 50 having a number of horseshoe magnets 51 with projecting poles arranged around the periphery, which engages with the shaft in the manner of a worm gearing. A rod 35, Fig. 7, may be spirally magnetized by attaching it to a non- magnetic holder 55 and drawing it between the poles 52, 53 of an electromagnet while it is rotated by the engagement of a set-screw 56 in a spiral groove 57. The rod is drawn into a shield 54 of magnetic material to prevent demagnetization by leakage flux from the electromagnet. Specifications 535,168 and 549,590, [both in Group II], are referred to.

Title: Process of producing a readily digested meat-protein preparation
IPC: A23J1/02
Filed: 1935-02-01
Abstract: A readily-digestible protein preparation is obtained by extracting with water to remove water-soluble constituents the comminuted flesh of cattle, sheep, goats, swine, rabbits, horses and like animals, next subjecting it in the presence of water to attrition grinding, removing the unground connective tissue and recovering, e.g. by drying, the resulting finely divided meat protein.  The flesh may be extracted with water at about 45-50 DEG  F., for about 2 hours, washed on a screen with water, and in the presence of fresh water treated for about 2 hours at the same temperature in a ball mill. The product is passed through a screen to remove connective tissue and placed in a vessel in which the fat floats to the top and can be removed while the protein settles to the bottom and may be freed from the water, e.g. by spray drying, or by heating to 60 DEG  C., to coagulate it, filtering and drying, or by treating centrifugally and drying.  Foodstuffs including milk, eggs or the yolks or whites, a solution of egg albumen, gastric mucin, or chocolate mixed with eggs or milk may be added to the protein concentrate prior to drying. Foodstuffs or dry gastric mucin may be mixed with the dried protein material. The product may be added to soups and sauces.  If a fat-free product is desired, the spray dried material may be treated with a non-poisonous organic fat solvent such as trichlorethylene. The connective tissue may be worked up to a fertilizer with other refuse from a meat packing plant.ALSO:Connective tissue which is worked up as a fertilizer with other refuse from a meat-packing plant is obtained by extracting with water to remove water-soluble constituents, the comminuted flesh of cattle, sheep, goats, swine, rabbits, horses and like animals, next subjecting it in the presence of water to attrition grinding and separating the unground connective tissue.
