Abstract: 1315042 Rotary planing machine SVENSKA INDUSTRIETABLERINGS AB SVETAB 20 Aug 1970 [21 Aug 1969] 40087/70 Heading B5L In a rotary planing machine which includes a cutter body 2 with cutters 50, Fig. 3, the cutter body is provided with a pulley 4, Fig. 1, and is rotatably journalled on a shaft 6 which at one or both ends, e.g. 10, 12, is supported in the frame 13 of the machine. The supported end or ends is/are turnably journalled in the frame eccentrically relative to the rotational axis of the body 2 so that, during rotation of the cutter body, adjustment of the body transversely of its axis of rotation can be made. Means are also provided for axially adjusting the shaft 6 along the axis of rotation. In one embodiment the shaft end portions 10, 12 are eccentric relative to the shaft portion 6, and the portion 10 is connected by a key and keyway 32, 28 to a sleeve 30. The sleeve 30 is turnable by a handle 40 to rotate the shaft portion 10 and hence adjust the cutter body 2 transversely, and is held in its adjusted position by a bolt 38 which passes through a slot 36, Fig 3, in a flange 34 at one end of the sleeve. A bolt 42, Fig. 2, is axially fixed in one end of the sleeve 30 and is threaded into the portion 10 so that rotation of the bolt adjusts the cutter body axially. In a second embodiment the shaft end portions are coaxial with the rotational axis of the cutter body but are received in eccentric bores in cylindrical sleeves which are received in bearing members mounted on the machine frame. One of the sleeves is integral with a worm wheel which coacts with a worm screw by means of which the sleeve is rotated and the transverse position of the cutter body adjusted. In this embodiment scales are provided to indicate the axial and transverse positions of the cutter body. Shims may be inserted between the bearing members and the machine frame to adjust the position of the cutter body.

Title: Improvements relating to the sterilisation of bottles
Inventor: BURTON HAROLD
IPC: A61L2/07
Filed: 1963-10-15
Abstract: 1,119,201. Washing bottles &c. NATIONAL RESEARCH DEVELOPMENT CORP. 14 Jan., 1965 [15 Oct., 1963], No. 40688/63. Heading B8T. In an apparatus for sterilizing a bottle, saturated steam under pressure enters a sealed container 2, housing the bottle 1, by an inlet valve A and escapes through an outlet valve B after passing through a steam-ejector device 4, during which time the outside of the bottle is preheated and the steam-ejector device 4 maintains a vacuum, via a duct 5, within the bottle whose interior is sealed to steam. The valve B is now closed and steam introduced into the bottle through the device 4 and the duct 5 to sterilize the inside thereof, and condensate is formed therein. The steam supply to the bottle interior is then shut off by reopening the valve B, and again the bottle outside is heated and a vacuum is created in the bottle. Thus the condensate boils off. Finally, the valve A is closed and steam escapes through the valve B.

Abstract: 1445244 Interchangeable view-finders ASAHI KOGAKU KOGYO KK 19 Sept 1974 [20 Sept 1973] 40954/74 Heading G2A A detachable view-finder can be locked on to a camera by means of a manually rotatable ring which fits round the view-finder eye-piece. The drawings show part of a single lens reflex camera having a pentaprism view-finder 1. The view-finder housing 2 has projections 2a and 2'a which slide in grooves 5a and 5'a in guide rails 5, 5' on the camera main body, so that the view-finder can be readily slid into position, or removed. A rotatable ring 7 fits round the eye-piece ring 8 of the view-finder, and has a pin 9 whose end 9a engages loosely in a slot 10a at one end of an intermediate lever 10. The other end 10b of this lever is pivoted by a pin 12 to a locking lever 11. Lever 11 is pivoted to the view-finder housing 2 by a pin 13, and has an engagement portion 11a. In the Fig. 1 position lever 11 is biased by a spring 12 so that portion 11a latches into a groove 5b in guide rails 5, so that the view-finder is now locked on to the camera body. It is unlocked by rotating ring 7 anticlockwise, which moves lever 10 to the left, against spring 14 position of Fig. 2 and 4, (not shown). Portion 11a of lever 11 is now retracted from engagement with groove 5b, so that the view-finder can be withdrawn from the camera. To attach the view-finder, it is slid into position and ring 7 rotated clockwise, so that portion 11a is once more urged by spring 14 into locking engagement with groove 5b. Ring 7 may also be arranged to actuate a light shield.

Abstract: 871,882. Nickel plating baths. INCAR Inc. Dec. 7, 1959, No. 41541/59. Class 41. Nickel-plating baths containing a primary brightening agent, e.g. sulphonic or sulphinic acids, sulphones, or sulphonamides, are improved by adding thereto a fully hydroxyalkylated alkylene polamine. In these compounds the hydrogen of the NH2 groups is wholly replaced by hydroxy-alkyl groups using e.g. alcohol chlorides. In examples, nickel sulphate, chloride or sulphamate and boric acid form a plating bath, to which is added naphthalene disulphonic acid or saccharin, and hepta hydroxypropyl tetraethylene pentamine alone or in admixture with the corresponding hexahydroxy compound. Sulphonated lauryl alcohol may also be added as anti-pitting agent.

Title: Process for the manufacture of a-nor-b-homo-steroids and steroid intermediates therefor
IPC: C07J31/00
Filed: 1964-10-12
Abstract: Novel 4 - R - sulphonyloxy - 5 - hydroxy-steroid-3-ketals, in which the 4- and 5-substituents are cis and which contain in the 11-position two hydrogen atoms or a hydrogen atom and a free or functionally converted hydroxyl group, the R-sulphonyloxy group being the residue of an aliphatic or aromatic sulphonic acid, are treated with basic agents to give 3,6 - dioxo - A - nor - B - homo - steroids. The novel steroids may be prepared by sulphonating and ketalizing a 3-keto-4,5-dihydroxy-steroid, itself prepared from a corresponding D 4-compound.  Alternatively ketalization may precede hydroxylation and sulphonation. The steriods may be of the androstane, pregnane, cholane, cholestane, spirostane or cardanolide series or the corresponding 19-nor compounds, and they may contain one or more additional substituents in the ring system or the side chain e.g. free, esterified or etherified hydroxy, free or ketalized oxo, hydrocarbon and halogen, and one or more double bonds. 17-Acyloxy compounds may be hydrolysed to the 17-ols.

[Also in Group XXIV] Apparatus for testing bending-fatigue of wire, rod, strip and the like comprises a pair of cooperating cylindrical or part-cylindrical rockers 1, 2, mounted with their curved surfaces adjacent and oscillatable about parallel axes, clamping means 16, 17 for holding a specimen 9 so that it passes between the rockers 1, 2 in an inflected curve and means for imparting a rotary reciprocating motion to the rockers whereby the inflection is moved back and forth along the specimen. In the embodiment shown the specimen, in the form of a wire, lies in grooves 14 machined in the surfaces of the rockers. The rockers 1, 2 are mounted on shafts to which are fixed a second pair of co-operating rockers 3, 4, Fig. 3. These latter are interconnected by two strips 22, 23 and the lower rocker 4 is reciprocated by a crank (not shown) driven from an electric motor. The specimen is clamped between tiebars 16 and clamps 17 and is tensioned by use of a spring 21. A similar arrangement applies to the driving strips 22, 23. In use the specimen is oscillated until it breaks or it may be inspected after a given number of oscillations. The rockers may be made of insulating material and the circuit for the electric motor may be connected through the specimen, so that the driving motor will stop immediately the specimen breaks. Alternatively, the driving bands 22, 23 may be used in a similar way. Various other forms of test rocker are described, suited to different types of test piece and the upper rockers are adjustable in position to allow the use of larger rockers or a thicker test piece. The rockers may also be extended to carry several test specimens at one time.
