Title: Improvements in or relating to garment patterns
IPC: A41H3/00
Filed: 1933-04-04
Abstract: 417,462. Garment patterns. STACK, N. I., 18, Old Cavendish Street, London. April 4, 1933, No. 10100. [Class 141.] Relates to foundation garment patterns from which design patterns can be obtained, of the kind comprising a plane outline of a half-front of a tight-fitting garment having marked thereon basic fitting lines including the shoulder, centre front, arm-hole, under-arm seam, waist, and hip lines and the shoulder dart and underarm dart lines, and consists in pivoting to the pattern in superimposed relation a translucent sheet bearing the same outline and fitting lines as are marked on the fixed pattern. The various fitting lines are shown at a, b &c. on the fixed pattern A and at a<1>, b<1> &c. on the translucent sheet B. The latter is used for obtaining new design patterns having the same dimensions as the fixed pattern. If, for example, it is desired to alter the bust design of a tight-fitting bodice, the sheet B is turned about its pivot until its line h<1> of the shoulder dart coincides with the shoulder dart line k of the fixed pattern. The various fitting lines on the bodice part of the foundation pattern are then re-marked on the design pattern B and the part of the latter bearing the waist and hip lines e<1>, f<1> is moved back into coincidence with the corresponding part of the foundation pattern. Specification 362,051 is referred to in the Provisional Specification.

Title: Improvements in and relating to Electric Time Limit Devices for Electro-magnetic Switches.
IPC: H01H71/44
Filed: 1918-06-24
Abstract: 127,750. British Thomson - Houston Co., (General Electric Co.). June 24, 1918. Automatic circuit-breakers; electro - m a g n e t i c switches.-A timeelement is introduced into the action of an electro-magnetic switch by the use of a magnetic pendulum 10 which, when released by the electro-magnet 25, oscillates over an armature arm 14, so that when the amplitude of the pendulum is sufficiently reduced, the pendulum attracts the armature, which operates the switch 20, 21. The pendulum 10 is a horseshoe permanent magnet with rounded pole-pieces, and the armature arm consists of a narrow strip of non-magnetic material pivoted at one end 15 and adapted to en. gage at the other end with the horizontal portion of the bell-crank contact-arm 20. The armature arm carries transversely a cylindrical armature 16' surrounded by a non-magnetic sleeve to prevent the armature from " freezing " to the magnet. The contact 20 is normally maintained in engagement with the contact 21 by a spring arm 22 which is acted on by the electro-magnet 23. As applied to an overload and " no-volt " circuit breaker, the circuit arrangements are shown in Fig. 3. When an overload occurs, the relay 31 breaks the circuit of the electro-magnet 25, releasing the magnet and allowing it to swing. After a predetermined interval, the magnet draws up the armature, which breaks the circuit of the no-volt coil 29 at 21, 20, thereby tripping the circuit-breaker.

Title: Improvements in Water-level Alarm Apparatus for Steam Generators.
Inventor: SPENCER HENRY WILMOT
IPC: F22B37/42
Filed: 1918-06-24
Abstract: 120,705. Spencer, H. W., and Clark, R. June 24, 1918. Alarms, high and low mater.-In alarm apparatus in which the operation of the alarm is controlled by a diaphragm B in a chamber in communication on one side of the diaphragm with the boiler steam space and on the other side with a stand pipe K extending into the boiler to the low or high water level, the steam for sounding the alarm is taken directly from the boiler through a pipe F. In the low-water alarm apparatus shown, when the water level falls below the bottom of the stand pipe, the pipe empties, and the unbalanced weight of the water in the pipe connexion H raises the diaphragm, which opens the valve C between the end of the steam pipe @ and the whistle E. In high-water alarm apparatus, the stand pipe, which is normally open to the steam space, fills with water when the level rises, and the valve C is adapted to be opened by the depression of the. diaphragm by the steam pressure acting on its upper surface. The two alarms may have a common boiler connexion for supplying steam to the whistles. The stand pipes may dip into a vessel in communication with the boiler steam and water spaces.

Abstract: 1,006,856. Circuits employing bi-stable magnetic elements. NATIONAL CASH REGISTER CO. March 12, 1964 [March 26, 1963], No. 10501/64. Heading H3B. The digit winding of a magnetic data store is in two parts U, L (Fig. 3) each coupled to storage elements 12, a drive current source D1 is connected to one end of each part and a sense amplifier S1 is coupled to the other end of each part, so that common mode signals in the two parts are rejected. In addition a non-linear impedance circuit 35 is connected between the second ends of the two parts so as to limit the input signal to the sense amplifier when the drive current source D1 is operative, but to allow any sense output pulse induced in the winding to pass to the amplifier. The storage elements are of the type described in Specification 1,006,855. When source D1 is energized diodes 32 conduct, due to the voltage drop across resistors 34, and limit any unbalance across the two parts of the winding. During read-out the voltages produced are below the conduction threshold voltage of the diodes. Resistors 34 may be omitted. Matrix.-The storage devices are arranged in an 8 x 20 array each device having 9 storage regions. A word is selected by energizing the appropriate column driver C1-C9 and the appropriate row grounder R1-R20. In Fig. 2, pulses 21, 22 energize driver C1 and grounder R1 to read out a particular word by driving all storage regions of that word to a " 0 " state. To subsequently write information a negative pulse of smaller amplitude is passed through the selected word conductor. This is achieved by choosing diodes 10 to have a relatively slow recovery rate so that the negative pulse is automatically produced when driver C1 is turned off. The negative current flows through diode 45 to earth. The whole store is biased to point 70 or 71 (Fig. 5) by means of two serially connected coils wound on the end plates of the matrix. The use of toroidal core and thin film storage elements is referred to. Specification 1,006,857 also is referred to.

Title: Improvements in and relating to the production of compositions for use in making gravy
IPC: A23L23/00
Filed: 1938-04-08
Abstract: 513,496. Treating grain.BEAVER, A. E. A. April 8. 1938, No. 10828. [Class 58] [Also in Group VI] A material suitable for use in making gravy is made by subjecting grain to aqueous extraction at a temperature below the gelatinisation temperature of the starch content of the grain for a period sufficient at the temperature employed to give rise to an appreciable enzymatic and/or bacterial action in the grain, the extract being then freed from odoriferous and flavouring materials characteristic of the grain and concentrated to dryness. Enzymatic action is regarded as appreciable when comparable with that resulting from the steeping of maize in water at a temperature of 100‹F, for 35 hours. In an example, the steep water from maize so treated is concentrated to 18 Be and powdered calcium hydrate added with agitation until a pH value of 7.2-7.5 is reached. After standing for several hours the mixture is filtered and the precipitate rejected, sulphuric acid being added to the filtrate to give a pH value of 5.0. Open boiling of the acidified filtrate will remove the grainy odour or flavour. Demetalling is effected by intimate contact of the solution with vegetable carbon for 20 minutes, whereupon the mixture is filtered and the filtrate concentrated to a pasty mass which is mixed with anhydrous maize starch. The mixture is ground and passed through a 30 mesh sieve, and the product so obtained constitutes the gravy base.
