Patent GB-2282361-A (GB)
Title: A mobile aggregate material processing plant
Inventor: RAFFERTY MALACHY JAMES
IPC: B28C1/00
Filed: 1994-09-07
Abstract: An aggregate material processing plant (1) has an input hopper (5) communicating with a screen box (8) which provides three material separations. The finest material is delivered through a longitudinal conveyor (11). The two other grades are delivered to hoppers (12) (13) which feed lateral conveyors (20). Each lateral conveyor (20) has a head section (22) which pivots relative to a tail section (21) about an axis which is perpendicular to the plane of the conveyor belt (27). In addition, part of the tail section (21) pivots about an axis which extends longitudinally so that whole conveyor can be mounted in the transport position within the lateral confines of the chassis and the height of other parts of the plant. <IMAGE>

Title: Ventilation assembly and joining parts
Inventor: COUR AGNES LUCIENNE
IPC: B29C48/12
Filed: 1997-11-04
Abstract: Two parts 10, 12 are assembled together by placing regions of the parts 10, 12 together and over moulding material onto them to at least mechanically secure them together. A ventilation assembly (30), such as for ventilating the interior of a motor vehicle body, comprises a frame (32) moulded from rigid thermoplastics material defining side walls (e.g. 32A), end walls (32C,32D) and a dividing wall (32E) which form apertures (34,36) controlled by flap valves (38,40). The flap valves (38,40) can be moulded in situ from flexible material but which is not compatible with the rigid material of the frame (30) and therefore does not adhere to it during the moulding process. The material of the flap valves (38,40) is provided with a series of holes through which protrude studs having enlarged heads (58,60) to form hinges (42,44) to enable the flap valves to be joined to the frame and to flex between open and closed positions. In the closed position, the flap valves (38,40) seal against seats (50,52). Other embodiments are shown in which the flap valves (38,40) can be moulded of rigid material with hinge formations arranged to hingeably interlock with corresponding formations on the frame.

Title: Teaching Clock
Inventor: FORD PETER BRIAN JOHN
IPC: G09B19/12
Filed: 1998-01-15
Abstract: A clock for teaching how to read or tell the time comprises an analogue time display 10 having hands 12,13 which are advanced only after a selected predetermined number of fixed time intervals have elapsed. Means 17 are provided on the clock for setting the predetermined number of fixed time intervals, the hands 12,13 being advanced by an amount which is equal to the period of time which has elapsed in the set number of fixed time intervals. Initially, the clock can be set so its hands 12,13 only advance at the start of every hour. Once the person learning to read or tell the time has mastered the hourly changes in time, the clock can be set to a mode in which the hands 12,13 advance at the start of every half hour. The above-mentioned process can then be repeated for intervals of 15 minutes, 5 minutes and 1 minute as the person's ability to read or tell the time progresses. This adjustablility can be achieved by providing a control pulse for the hands after varying numbers of conventional clock pulses.
