Patent GB-659092-A (GB)
Title: Mechanical painting apparatus
IPC: B05C1/02
Filed: 1948-09-13
Abstract: Apparatus for painting long circular objects such as flag poles and lamp posts, comprises a circular horizontal rod carrying a series of pinions and brush or pad wheels, the pinions serving to rotate the wheels which grip tightly against the circular object and so cause the apparatus to move up or down its length, paint being supplied to the wheels from a container having a series of closable holes in its base, and the pinions are rotated by gearing operated through a chain.  The apparatus is so constructed that certain parts can be removed to allow it to be put in position, and <PICT:0659092/III/1> then replaced.  Fig. 6, in which the wheels are 2, the pinions 8, the chain 19, 20 and the circular object 5, illustrates the invention.

Abstract: 712,702. Calculating-apparatus. UNDERWOOD CORPORATION. Oct. 15, 1951 [Nov. 18, 1950], No. 23987/51. Class 106 (1) In an accounting-machine comprising a typewriter 11 surmounting a computing base 10 having depressible function control elements 31 selectively operable by a control unit 44 movable with the typewriter carriage, the control unit is supported entirely by a trackway, as shown pairs of rollers 42, 43 and a rail 38, carried by the computing base 10. The control unit has a quick release connection with the typewriter carriage so that it can be readily removed and replaced by another unit when it is desired to vary the functioning of the machine. The computing base of the machine shown is similar to that described in Specification 542,354. and includes a control box 29 at its rear carrying the depressible control elements 31, the rail 38 and rollers 42, 43. The control unit is similar to that described in U.S.A. Specification 2,160,487 and comprises a main frame member 45 terminating in two rearwardly extending arms 47, Fig. 2, spanned by transverse bars 48 and 49. The bar 48 is notched for the reception, in desired positions, of column control members 50 carrying selectively positioned tappets for operating the control elements 31 ; spring clips 52 on the control members 50 engage a groove in the frame member 45 to retain them in position. The forward edge of the frame member is grooved and engages between the pairs of rollers 42, 43, whilst rollers 54 at the rear ends of the control members 50 bear upon the rail 38. Connection with the typewriter carriage is by means of upstanding lugs 56 at either end of the control unit which are engaged by bifurcated catches 58 and 59 on the carriage. These catches can be moved forwardly against springs 61 to release the lugs, whereupon the control unit can be withdrawn laterally off an end of the trackway.

IPC: C12M1/24
Filed: 1964-06-10
Abstract: <PICT:1041105/C6-C7/1> Apparatus for the anaerobic cultivation of bacteria consists of a main container 1 for the culture and nutrient medium, and a smaller container 2, containing a wad 8 impregnated with alkaline pyrogallol, rigidly carried by a side tube 3 which extends laterally from adjacent to the top of the main container 1 and is plugged with a wad of sterile non-absorbent filter material (cotton wool).  The main container is shown supported in a test tube rack 6; however, the container may take the form of a conical flask. The two containers and the side tube are preferably made of glass and the side tube may contain a ground glass fitting so that the containers can be disconnected one from the other.  The open tops of the two containers may be sealed with stoppers, bungs or ground glass rotary taps.  The apparatus may be employed for the anaerobic cultivation of De-sulphovibrio desulphuricans, a sulphate-reducing organism used in the gas industry to test the potentiality for hydrogen sulphide production in stored gas and distribution systems. Sodium thioglycollate is added to the culture medium to poise the redox potential.  It is stated that were residual oxygen to be removed catalytically by sparking, the hydrogen sulphide produced by the bacteria would soon poison the catalyst.

Abstract: 1,205,337. Separating acetylene from gas mixtures. RHONE-POULENC S.A. 22 May, 1968 [22 May, 1967], No. 24505/68. Heading B1L. Acetylene is separated from a gas mixture which also contains vinyl acetate and acetaldehyde by passing the mixture by line 2' to column 1' where it is counter-currently washed with part of the liquid effluent from column 8' which enters by line 4'. The effluent gas stream passes by line 3' to column 8' where it is countercurrently washed with the mixed liquid effluents of columns 1' and 14' supplied by pump 6'. Liquid bottoms from column 8' are partly returned to column 1' and partly removed by line 11' for separation into its component acetic acid, acetaldehyde and vinyl acetate. Gaseous overhead passes by line 12' to column 14' where it is sprayed countercurrently with acetic acid which enters at 16', substantially pure acetylene leaving by line 17', and liquid bottoms being passed by line 13' for introduction to column 8'. The initial gas feed is generally at 150-300C., and the mixed liquid effluents supplied by pump 6' to column 8' are preferably below 25 C., most suitably 15-20C., and comprise acetic acide and vinyl acetate in a ratio of 2-1:1, usually 1.8-1.3:1.

Abstract: 1492249 Endless track vehicles CATERPILLAR TRACTOR CO 14 June 1976 [14 Oct 1975] 24530/76 Heading B7H A noise suppressing device for fitting to track shoe 14 of an endless track vehicle comprises a resilient contacting element 38 mounted between spaced elements 24, 26 of a frame 22 for attachment to the shoe 14, a spindle 36 which extends through an opening 40 in the resilient element 38 and openings 34 in the elements 24, 26 having a diameter smaller than that of the openings 34 and/or the opening 40 so as to allow transverse and rotational movement of the resilient element 38 relative to the frame 22. The resilient element 38 is formed of a stack of discs 66 positioned between washers 48 held on the spindle 36 by retaining rings 46 located in grooves 44. The frame 22 is formed by two L-shaped elements 54, 56, and a holding element 58 which is connected to the elements 54, 56 by pins 64 and has holes 30 for attachment to the shoe 14 by bolts 32. The diameter of the resilient element 38 is such that the axis B of the spindle 36 is normally positioned above the axis A of the openings 34 due to the element 38 contacting the holding element 58. When the resilient element 38 engages between the teeth of a track drive sprocket 16 or with the periphery of another track wheel the resilient element is compressed so that the axis B moves towards the axis A. During such compression and subsequent release from engagement with the sprocket or wheel the resilient element 38 is rotated through a few degrees to extend the operational life of the element.

The securing means preferably comprises an elbow or T-tube screw-threadedly connected to the shaft section 4 and the mounting member. The shaft section 29 has apertures 7 for liquid communication from the shaft interior to the outlet 9 connected to the hose, the outlet 9 being in form of a T- piece rotatable on the shaft section 29. The reel locating means includes a valve member 23 screw-threadedly secured to the shaft section 29 and including a movable rod 24 carrying washers 32, 33, 34 which seat against the sleeve 22 screwed into the shaft sections 4 and 29. The nut 30 prevents relative axial movement of the reel on the shaft. In a preferred embodiment, the hose is provided with an external helical spring adjacent the outlet 9 to prevent kinking of the hose. The hose may be guided from the reel by an orienting means constituted by a polygon whose sides are formed by rotary rollers. A brake may also be provided to prevent spontaneous unwinding, the brake acting on the side plate of the reel and being such that it cannot move from the on to the off position except by passing through a dead centre.
