Patent GB-2117361-A (GB)
Title: Bottle closure assembly
Inventor: HAMILTON THOMAS
IPC: B65D41/34
Filed: 1983-03-07
Abstract: The invention relates to an assembly comprising the combination of a bottle (1) and a cap (4) arranged to screw on to the neck of the bottle. The bottle neck is formed with an annular ridge (2) and a projection (3) below the ridge and the cap has a ring 7 connected thereto via a frangible connection, the ring having backwardly projecting and inwardly inclined springy teeth (8). When the cap (4) is in place the teeth are below the ridge (2) and are ready to engage successively the projection (3). An attempt to unscrew the cap causes the teeth (8) to initially spring successively over the projection (3) and produce a series of sharp noises, and to subsequently engage the ridge so that further unscrewing of the cap will cause the frangible connection to be broken. <IMAGE>

Title: Apparatus for forming stacks of sheets
Inventor: SPENCER MICHAEL STANLEY
IPC: B65H31/34
Filed: 1983-06-17
Abstract: In a sheet stacking apparatus, for example a sheet receiver at the output of a sorter, or the feed compartment receiving a stack of sheets at the input of a sorter, to form the sheets into a better stack, a roller (5) having a surface with a high co-efficient of friction is positioned transversely to the plane of the sheets in the stack so that a longitudinal portion of the roller periphery extends through a gap in the base (1) to contact the sheets along a line extending transversely across the lower edges of the sheets in the stack, the friction roller when rotated urging the sheets against an end support (3) of the sheet receiver. The lateral movement of the sheets by the friction roller may be facilitated by the provision of a cam wheel (7) with its axis parallel to the friction roller axis and contacting the lower edges of the sheets in the stack through a gap in the base, and air jets above the stack. The friction roller (5) may have a brush-like surface. <IMAGE>

Patent GB-2132702-A (GB)
Title: Roots compressor
Inventor: NISSEN HANS
IPC: F04C18/18
Filed: 1983-10-12
Abstract: In the compressor, gaseous material is fed from a suction side S to a pressure side D via working chambers F formed between the rotor pistons Z1, Z2. In order to avoid strong oscillations of the gaseous medium in the pressure side supply conduit with the resultant mechanical disadvantages, entry ports 2 into the working chambers, and/or the clearance between the pistons and the compressor casing, Figs 3 &4 (not shown), are so arranged and of such a size that the beginning of the supply of gaseous medium via a port 2 or piston clearance into the working chamber of one rotor occurs at the same time as the end of such supply of gaseous medium to the working chamber of another rotor. At the end of such supply of gaseous medium, the pressure in the respective working chamber and the pressure side correspond. The supply of gaseous medium, through the port 2 or via the clearance into the respective working chamber is taken from the pressure side of the compressor and is controlled in such a way that the gaseous medium in the pressure side supply conduit has a constant flow velocity. <IMAGE>

Title: Beam riding missile guidance system
Inventor: HIGGINS MICHAEL ANTHONY
IPC: F41G7/26
Filed: 1983-11-14
Abstract: In an optical beam rider guidance system comprising a projector for scanning a beam of radiation backwards and forwards over a field-of-view containing an article to be guided, a missile for example, so that the article receives two successive glimpses of the beam separated by a time interval indicative of the angular position of the article, and the article steers itself to a predetermined desired position within the field-of- view, the projector station including means for introducing a controllable delay TLA, TLE into the scanning process so that the time interval between beam glimpses is then also dependent on the introduced delay. This 'fools' the guidance apparatus on the article into 'thinking' that it has moved away from its desired position and hence enables it to be steered from the projector station. <IMAGE>

Title: Coating of plastics materials
Inventor: PORTER THOMAS
IPC: B05D1/18
Filed: 1984-04-26
Abstract: An enveloping coating is formed on a web of plastics material, in particular a flattened tube of weldable plastics material having had welded thereto a plurality of spouts of weldable plastics material, wherein the web is passed through a coater (32) in the form of a bath (45) of liquid containing a coating substance and then conveyed vertically from the bath (45) to a drier (34), the rate of feed of the web and the concentration of coating substance in the liquid being selected to produce a coating of desired thickness. The method is applicable to the making of a container of a plastics material which is weldable but porous to certain gases and needs to be coated with a substance which reduces the permeability to gas, but is not itself readily susceptible to welding. After coating, the contacting internal surfaces of the two halves of a tube, which surfaces have not been coated and are still weldable, can be welded together and the web formed into a plurality of individual containers each having a spout. <IMAGE>

Inventor: DOY THOMAS WILLIAM
IPC: H02G3/06
Filed: 1984-07-09
Abstract: A multi-directional coupling for joining lengths of trunking 1, 2 for use in a lighting installation comprises two different parts. The first part is a hollow cuboidal block 3 formed with one face 3a open and having a substantially identical knock-out 5 portion in the other five faces 3b-3f. A selected knock-out portion can be removed to form an aperture 3b.

A second length of trunking 1 can be joined using another similar spigot member 4a push-fitted into the aperture 6a in the open face of the block and into the end of the trunking 1. Alternatively an integral spigot portion may be formed around the aperture 6a so that the block can be push-fitted directly on to the second length of trunking. <IMAGE>

Title: Gas or vapour concentration monitoring
Inventor: PITT GILLIES DAVID
IPC: G01N21/39
Filed: 1984-10-13
Abstract: A gas or vapour monitoring apparatus employing differential absorption spectroscopy without the use of a monochromator drives an injection laser 10 cyclically between three different drive current levels. Two of the levels are employed in a feedback circuit incorporating a reference absorption cell 18, to stabilise the laser operating wavelength in the vicinity of the peak of a spectral absorption line when driven with these two levels. The third level is employed to stabilise the laser operating wavelength at a point removed from the absorption line when driven with this current level, and hence provide a reference point for the absorption measurements made with the aid of a test absorption cell 15. <IMAGE>

Title: Swelling monitoring device
Inventor: BINNS MALCOLM STEWART
IPC: A61B5/103
Filed: 1985-03-09
Abstract: A monitoring device for monitoring the swelling of a limb encased in plaster comprises an electrical capacitor in the form of a pair of electrode plates (1,2) spaced apart by a resilient foam (3), whereby when the monitoring device is placed beneath a plaster cast and on the encased limb, the pressure exerted on the device by swelling of the limb will cause variation of the spacing of the electrode plates (1,2) against the resilient bias of the foam (3), and hence variation of the capacitance. Therefore, by monitoring the capacitance, for example by connecting the device to a digital capacitor meter (7), the swelling of the limb as represented by the pressure exerted on the device can be monitored. <IMAGE>
