Patent GB-257222-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in methods in preparing fish foods
IPC: A23L17/00
Filed: 1926-03-08
Abstract: 257,222. Birdseye, C. Aug. 24, 1925, [Convention date]. Fish preparations ; preserving fish.-An uncooked food preparation is obtained from the flesh, or other edible portions of fish, clams, lobsters, crabs, oysters, and like sea products, by reducing the flesh to fragments which are then allowed to set in moulds to a. homogenous mass in which the glutinous content of the material is retained. Fresh fish, or fish scraps, if in large pieces, are reduced to small size, e.g. by passage through a grinder, and placed in moulds in which the material is left, e.g. for 12 hours until it sets to a firm cake. The fish mav be stirred or agitated or subjected to slight pressure in the moulds to aid setting. The fish is kept cool throughout the process and may be frozen before, after, or during the setting. When the product is to be kept for some time, it is frozen quickly by means of an intense cold so as to preserve the taste of the fresh fish. The product may be shipped in heat insulated containers, or kept in cold storage. A small amount of salt improves adhesion of the mass and may be added to immersion of the fish in brine before grinding, or by mixing salt with the ground fish. All the moisture is retained in the fish, and more water, brine, or juices and oils from other fish, e.g. from fish heads, mav also be added. Various edible parts of fish, e.g. roes and flesh, may be mixed, and different fish may be blended to give various flavours, textures, and food values. The materials may be sterilized at any stage, e.g. by using an antiseptic. The product does not disintegrate when being sliced or cooked.

Title: Improvements in the colouring of artifically produced oxide films on light metals
IPC: C25D11/30
Filed: 1939-02-27
Abstract: 525,734. Ornamenting. BRITISH ANODISING, Ltd., SHEPPARD, S. R., and PERFECT, J. M. Feb. 27, 1939, No. 6449. [Class 93] A preformed artifically-produced oxide film on a light metal such as aluminium is coloured by producing from its components a waterinsoluble azo dyestuff in the film. The film may be produced electrolytically as described in Specification 359,494, [Group XXXVI], and after rinsing immersed in a solution containing a diazotisable cyclic amine, the said amine being diazotised and coupled. Alternatively, the film may be impregnated with a coupling component and then treated with a diazotised cyclic amine. The coupling component may be an alkaline solution of a phenol or naphthol or an acid solution of an amine. The treated film may be boiled in water to remove surplus colour loosely deposited on the surface and then dried. Formulae are given for crimson, purple and red colourings.
Patent GB-1473478-A (GB)
Title: Dot matrix printer
IPC: G06K15/10
Filed: 1975-02-17
Abstract: 1473478 Selective printing N-DIMENSIONS Inc 17 Feb 1975 [5 March 1974] 6689/75 Heading B6F [Also in Division G4] In a dot-matrix printer, a print head 18 is advanced along the print line using a lead screw 24, the head being pivotable between a position in which it engages the print medium and a follower on it engages the screw and a position in which these conditions do not hold. As disclosed, the printer is a portable, batteryoperated typewriter, actuation of any of its character keys 16 pulsing a motor 28 and a motor 52 (or solenoid), the latter rotating an arm 48 to release a chopper disc 40 for one revolution. Disc 40 is driven via gears 32, 34 from motor 28 which also drives the lead screw 24 so the lead screw is driven for one character width during the disc rotation. A bush 44 produces pulses from marks on disc 40 which drive a counter to read successive columns of the character matrix from a memory to drivers controlling heating current to a column of thinfilm resistors in the (thermal) print head 18. (There may be more than one column of resistors.) The memory is loaded from a decoder which responds to the character keys and can communicate in both directions, via FM radio, telephone line or direct line, with a computer. Another key pulses a motor 54 (or solenoid) to rotate head 18 about one (20) of its two guide rods shown so that it no longer engages the lead screw 24 whereupon a (constant tension) spring 60 returns it to the left. A paper-advance key pulses a motor 76 to advance the paper using a rod 78, disc 80, a one-way clutch, a (return) coil spring and another one-way clutch.

IPC: H01R43/048
Filed: 1952-03-14
Abstract: 718,206. Direct connections between conductors. AIRCRAFT-MARINE PRODUCTS, Inc. March 14, 1952, No. 6707/52. Class 38 (1). [Also in Group XXII] A continuous strip of channel-section connectors 48 abut one another at their adjacent end edges, each being joined to its neighbours by an unsevered portion 54a and having indentations 86 for cooperation with indexing means. In applying a connector to e.g. resistors, radio frequency chokes etc., a strip 46a of connectors is fed between guiding members 58 and 60 (Fig. 7). A crimping die 62 engages the end connector 48c and component 64 and a lead wire 66 are positioned in a lower crimping die 74. As the dies 62 and 74. are brought together, the connector 48c is sheared from the strip 46a and is formed around the component 64 and securely grips the lead wire between its end edges 70 the flanges 90 of which serve to lock the wire in position and prevent rotation. Recessed end edges 76 in the severed connector avoid sharp corners which may damage the fragile wires 82 of the component 64. In order that the component 64 may not be scratched as the connector is being forced around it the connector has a lateral, inside, peripheral dimension greater than three times the lateral separation of the inner surfaces of the side walls, the lateral separation being taken at a point a distance of one-half the lateral separation above the bottom inner surface of the channel. In an alternative form of connector the indexing indentations 86 are placed on the inner bottom surface of the connector strip so that the indent also partially pre-shears the connectors one from another and recesses the portion to be sheared. The ends 70 of the connector may be corrugated to enhance the locking of the wire 66a. Specifications 601,068, [Group XXII], and 681,635 are referred to.

Title: Improved process and apparatus for carbonizing bituminous materials
IPC: C10B7/00
Filed: 1930-03-01
Abstract: 349,937. Carbonizing bituminous materials ; fuel briquettes. DOHERTY, H. L., 60, Wall Street, New York, U.S.A.- (Assignee of Loebell, H. 0.; 5, Boulevard, Malba, Long Island, New York, U.S.A.) March 1, 1930, No. 6841. Convention date, March 18, 1929. [Class 55 (i).] Coal or similar carbonaceous materials are carbonized in a thin layer, for example two inches or less thickness, while moving through a retort, the fuel being subjected to pressure which increases as the carbonization proceeds, and the temperature being varied to suit the thickness of the layer. The pressure varies from 25 to 2000 lb. per square foot, and the temperature from 800‹ to 1600‹ F. The fuel layer may be subdivided into thin briquette shaped portions, and the carbonized fuel discharged in the form of briquettes. The apparatus comprises a retort 11 containing a drum 16 rotated by gearing 26, and having refractory linings 28, 29, the drum being heated internally by gas and air supplied through pipes 30, 31, baffles 37, 38, 39 serving to spread the hot gases against the internal drum surface. The powdered fuel is fed through a hopper 56a, and by a conveyer in a trough 56 to an endless wire band 51 passing round the drum 16 and a tensioning idler roll 41, the bearings of which are secured to rods 45 held by compression springs 48. The depth of the layer may be varied by an adjustable scraper 58. As the drum 16 is rotated, the layer of fuel is compressed against it by the band. 51, the fuel being heated internally by the flue 52 as well as internally. A roller 65 deflects the belt, and causes the carbonized fuel to be broken. away from it, any fuel adhering to the drum being removed by a scraper 61a to a discharging trough 61 having a worm conveyer 62. Distillates are withdrawn through an outlet pipe 64. In a modification, the wire belt is replaced by a link belt, the hollowed links of which coact with the drum, which has corresponding depressions, to form briquettes due to the compression of the charge. Thus the rotor 16 has ribs 77, Fig. 6, which co-operate with the margins of transverse ribs 68 on the link belt and the tongues 66 to enclose separate portions of the charge in a series of shallow pockets. In an example a uniform layer of ¥ in. thickness of fuel was subjected to a pressure of 186 lb. per square foot and heated to 1100‹ F. for 30 minutes.

Abstract: 729,649. Ammunition cartridges. REMING- TON ARMS CO., Inc. March 17, 1952 [March 23, 1951], No. 6885/52. Class 9(1). A cartridge for an industrial stud-driving tool is provided with a cup-shaped sabot fitting within the mouth of the cartridge and adapted to resiliently and interchangeably retain the head of a stud. The cartridge case 1, having a priming composition 2 within the rim, contains a propellant charge 3 above which is a sabot 4 of synthetic plastic material held in position by crimping the cartridge. The recess 5 within the sabot is of greater diameter than any stud to be used with the cartridge but has flatted surfaces 6 tangential to a cylinder of smaller diameter than such studs. Thus the sabot can resiliently grip studs of different diameters. Suitable materials for the sabot are said to be an ethyl cellulose thermoplastic moulding compound or a thermoplastic polystyrene moulding composition or a cellulose acetate-butyrate thermoplastic moulding compound. The sabots may be made in various colours to indicate the amount of propellant in the cartridge. To use a stud with a small head as in Fig. 10, an adapter 9 is provided. The stud may have a grooved head as in Fig. 11, the notch 10 soformed providing a line of fracture at which the head breaks after firing. The shank may be knurled to anchor the stud after penetration. Specification 729,651 is referred to.

A liner 1 (Fig. 1), placed in the body of a vehicle before it is loaded has devices 5 by which it is supported from the walls of the body, and is lifted by hooks 11, 12, the hooks 12 at at least one side being released automatically, when relieved of load, to permit the load to be dumped after it has been lifted from the vehicle. As shown, the liner comprises several wire-netting panels joined together and suspended from the hooks 11, 12 by chains 9 from the spreader 6. Each hook 12 may comprise pincer arms 13, 14 (Fig. 3), held closed by a pin 17 which is withdrawn by a chain 20 when the net is lifted; in this condition pincers are held closed by the tension in the chains 15 but are subsequently opened by a spring 16 when the net is lowered to the ground. In the alternative construction of Fig. 10 a hook 32 can be held in its closed position A by a compression spring 34 but is pulled over a dead-centre when weight is applied to it. In a further construction (Figs. 6-8, not shown), a hook similar to the hook 32 of Fig. 10 is normally biased to its open position by a spring which is insufficient to overcome the weight of the net but can be held closed by a manually-operated pawl.
