Polymers specified are homopolymers and copolymers of olefins, dienes, cycloolefins, cyclo-dienes and styrene compounds, e.g. polyethylene, polypropylene, polystyrene; polyesters, alkyd resins; polycarbonates, e.g. those prepared from p,p-isopropylidene-bisphenol and phosgene; nylon polymers, e.g. nylon 6; phenolaldehyde resins; phthalate polymers, e.g. polydiallyl phthalate; and thermoplastic polymers of 2,2 - bis - (4 - hydroxyphenyl) - propane and epichlorohydrin.  The compositions may additionally contain an antimony, arsenic or bismuth compound, heat stabilizers such as basic lead phosphite or basic lead carbonate, carbon black and coloured pigments.  The components may be mixed in solution or with a molten polymer or they can be dry-blended.

Abstract: 1,079,286. Injection moulding; blow moulding; presses. GEIMUPLAST PETER MUNDT KOMM GES. Dec. 21, 1964 [Dec. 31, 1963], No. 51849/64. Headings B5A and B5F. [Also in Division F2] An injection mould 27, 28, a blow mould or a press is closed by means of a large diameter worm 1 engaging with at least two racks 2, 3 connected to a platen 17 carrying the mould part 28. An additional closing pressure is applied by an hydraulic piston 6 on which the worm 1 is rotatably mounted. The hydraulic pressure is supplied through a check valve 9, 10 from a conduit 12 leading to a cylinder 13. A piston 14 in cylinder 13 is connected threugh connecting rods 32, 33 to an axially reciprocable injection screw 26. The check valve 9, 10 prevents release of piston 6 when pressure in cylinder 13 is relieved. The mould therefore remains locked until a pin 34 carried by piston 14 opens the check valve. Drive to the worm 1 and screw 26 is through V-belts 4 and 24 respectively. In a modification (Fig. 2, not shown), the worm 1 acts directly on the rods 32, 33, and the hydraulic piston acts directly on the injection screw.

Pairs of elements 68 are connected by cross arms 84, 86 &c. to which are secured L-shaped elements 94, 96 &c. reciprocable by a cam arrangement 62 comprising a plurality of similar cams, one for each L-shaped element and rotationally displaced from one another. The strips 36 are arranged in groups, the strips of a group being spaced regularly vertically and all being attached to the same pair of elements 68 for simultaneous movement between a withdrawn and an extended position, exhibiting in the latter case a display area. The cam arrangement is such that the groups are continuously cycled in overlapping sequence between extended and withdrawn positions. The cam arrangement may be pivotable downwardly out of operative position causing the elements 68 to be urged down by springs 138, 140 &c. on to stops 136 in which position adjacent strips of different groups will be brought into alignment. Sets of groups of strips may be arranged in cassettes for rapid substitution in the display device. The cam arrangement above would be pivoted out of operative position as described before substituting a replacement cassette. The flexible supports 66 form part of the cassette, but the rigid elements 68 may be either a part of the permanent display apparatus to which the cassette is fitted, Figs. 13-16 (not shown), or form part of the cassette, Figs. 17-19 (not shown).

Title: Apparatus for producing identical gaps between mass produced individual articles
IPC: B65G23/00
Filed: 1977-12-22
Abstract: The device for producing identical spacings between piece goods (11) of a series production, which are moved on a transport belt towards at least one further-treatment station, comprises a large number of piece-goods transport bodies (12) which are intended for instantaneous engaging on in each case one piece-goods item (11) and can be guided parallel to the transport path of the piece goods (11). These bodies sre supported via guide means on an endless first rail track (15) which returns the transport bodies (12) in each case to their starting point again, the individual transport bodies (12) being interconnected via a motor-driven revolving articulated-member system (20). The articulated members (21) are in this case supported at their articulation point (23) between in each case two adjacent transport bodies (12) on a second rail track (30) which deviates from the first in its course. As a result, it is possible to vary at will the spacings between the individual transport bodies and consequently also between the piece goods carried along by the transport bodies between the so-called inlet point and the so-called outlet point of the device, corresponding entirely to the relative course of the first and second rail track lying between these two points. <IMAGE>

Title: Improvements relating to fluid-fuel appliances and safety apparatus therefor
Inventor: MCCRINDLE JAMES
IPC: F23N5/06
Filed: 1967-11-25
Abstract: 1,253,511. Controlling burners. J. McCRINDLE. 24 Feb., 1969 [25 Nov., 1967], No. 53717/67 Heading F4T. [Also in Division F2] In a fluid fuel burner 10 having jets 11, electrically operable safety apparatus comprises a gate valve 14 for shutting off the flow of fuel to the jets 11, an electrical heater circuit adapted to close when fuel is admitted to the jets 11, open when the burner flame is established, and close again if the burner flame fails, and thermally responsive actuating means in the form of thermally expansible bellows 16 operatively associated both with the shut-off gate valve 14 and with the heater 15 so that the shut-off gate valve 14 closes on failure of the burner flame. The shut-off gate valve 14 includes a reciprocable stem 24 having attached thereto a bevelled collar 32 and expansion of the bellows 16 pushes an annular rim 31 on the lower face of an annular disc 29 against the collar 32 to push the stem 24 downwards and close the shut-off gate valve 14. The valve is held in open position by friction between the stem 24 and a valve gland 25. The burner includes a manual control valve 13 having associated with it a microswitch 19 and in operation of the burner the control valve 14 is operated to admit fuel e.g. coal gas to the jets 11 and to close the switch 19 to thereby energize the circuit and cause operation of the heater 15. Ignition of the fuel at the jets 11 may then be initiated and when a flame is established a thermo-sensitive microswitch including a bimetallic actuating strip 21 adjacent on endmost jet 11 of the burner 10 opens to break the circuit and to stop operation of the heater 15, this initial period of operation of the heater being insufficient to cause any appreciable movement of the bellows 16. If the flame at the burner fails, however, the switch 20 closes to complete the circuit and operate the heater 15. A heating element 15A is heated and transmits heat to the bellows 16 which expand against the disc 29 to push the stem 24 downwards and close the gate valve 14. This movement of the stem 24 also moves an actuating tongue 23 which actuates a microswitch 22 to open the circuit. The burner may be restored to a condition ready for normal use and for a further attempt to light the gas issuing from the jets 11 simply by actuating a reset lever 35 which raises the valve stem 24 to open the gate valve 14 and cause closure of the microswitch 22.

Abstract: 1496666 Photo-electric flame monitor FORNEY INTERNATIONAL Inc 13 Dec 1974 [14 Dec 1973] 53987/74 Heading G1A A furnace flame is monitored by an infrared detector housed with a preamplifier, and a signal from the latter is passed to an evaluation unit including a band-pass filter and comparison unit to detect whether the flame is present or not. In Fig. 2, the detector is mounted with its preamplifier in a head 10 which views a coal dust fuelled flame 24; the head is mounted in a position where the air input 28 to the furnace affords it a degree of protection. The output of the preamplifier is fed via a screened cable 12, Fig. 3, to a remote amplifier and filter 40 where only those signals between 45-60 Hz are passed. These signals are rectified at 42 and compared with a pre-set value at 44. A delay unit 46 gives a delayed indication of the presence of a flame (F), or the absence of a flame (F), as well as an instantaneous indication of the flame state (F I ); these signals can be supplied to an indicator or a furnace control. The detector is a variable resistance device fed with a constant current; its immediate circuitry, and details of the units 40, 42, 44, 46, is given in Fig. 4 (not shown). These units employ integrated circuits, and the delay unit has digital circuits. The detector, the head, and the main amplifier are connected by plugs and sockets to facilitate removal. In the case of a gas fired furnace having an oil ignition flame the detector head and circuitry can distinguish between the gas and the oil flames, and can hence signal if the oil ignition flame goes out.
