Title: Animated figure toy
IPC: A63H7/00
Filed: 1975-10-09
Abstract: 1491295 Toy figures MATTEL Inc 9 Oct 1975 [11 Dec 1974] 41402/75 Heading A6S A toy figure comprises a lower torso having at least two legs with a vertically-disposed open channel between them and an upper torso rotatable on the lower torso, a base structure supporting the lower torso, and actuating means for rotating the upper torso and including a post rotatable in the vertically-disposed open channel, the post being coupled to the upper torso and having an actuating lever swung back-and-forth to oscillate the upper torso. In one form, Figs. 1, 2, 4, the toy figure simulates a soldier 10 having an upper torso 11 with a downwardly-depending spigot 14 rotatable within a cylindrical socket 12b in a lower torso 12. A base 13 mounts the two legs of the soldier and journals an upwardly-extending pin 17 having a coupling 17a which fits to a coupling socket 14a at the end of the spigot 14. The pin 17, spigot 14 and the upper torso 11 are thus coupled for rotation together. A wheel 19 having a serrated edge is journalled within the base 13 and protrudes through the lower surface of the base, e.g. to engage a supporting surface. A crank pin 20 on the wheel 19 carries a lever 18, e.g. of plastics, having a hinge 23 and connected to the pin 17. As the wheel 19 is oscillated back-and-forth, e.g. by pushing the toy soldier 10 back-and-forth on a supporting surface, the upper torso 10 is oscillated back-and-forth on the lower torso, &c. A part-gear 21 on the wheel 19 at the same time rattles-over a snapping arm 22 to make a rat-tat-tat sound like a machine gun. In a modification, the wheel 19, &c is replaced by a horizontally-disposed part-wheel (30), Figs. 5-7 (not shown), connected by a lever having two hinges (28, 29) to the upwardly-extending pin, the part-wheel having a friction pad (36) on its lower side to engage a supporting surface. In another modification, the lower torso contains a hand lever 64, Fig. 12, directly connected to an upwardlyextending pin 62 coupled to the downwardlydepending spigot 14, Fig. 1, a blade 66 rattling-over a serrated edge 88 of the base as the lever is turned to make a rat-tat-tat noize. In another embodiment, an upper torso 39, 40, Fig. 8, is fast with an upwardly-extending pin 46 carrying at its lower end below a base 38 a hand lever 47. The pin 46 extends down through a lower torso 41, 42. An inclined cam groove 49 in the lower torso is engaged by a slidable cam follower 50 abutting at its top and a protrusion 45 fastwith the pivot 44 of an arm 43 which can be turned relatively to the upper torso. As the hand lever 47 is oscillated back-and-forth, the upper torso 39, 40 turns from side-to-side and the cam follower 50 slides up-and-down to raise, &c the arm 43. At the same time, a flexible extension 48 on the lever 47 snapsover a rib (52), Fig. 10 (not shown), extending inwardly from the flanged edge of the base 38 and smacks against one or other of two inwardly-extending walls (53) on the base flanged edge, to make a noise. The toy figure may simulate a policeman or a soldier.

Patent GB-1591359-A (GB)
Title: Filler slabs for floors
IPC: E04G11/42
Filed: 1977-10-06
Abstract: This interjoist element, for making filler blocks for a floor, comprises a block (1) made of expanded polystyrene and a layer of mortar (3) which is reinforced with glass fibres (4); the polystyrene block comprises a face, called underface (1a), which is to face downwards in the filler blocks and is to be bordered laterally by two rebates (1b) and (1c) for holding the interjoist element; the layer of mortar and the fabric of fibres extend in a known manner over the whole underface and over the two rebates so that, when the interjoist element is positioned so as to bear via its rebates in the filler block, the continuous fabric of glass fibres is held at the border at the rebates by the weight of the filler block and of a compression topping poured over the filler block and forms a stable layer capable of retaining the filler block assembly. This interjoist element enjoys the advantages of interjoist elements made of expanded synthetic material and makes it possible to build floors complying with the requirements imposed with respect to fire risks. In addition, it lends itself to the direct application of coatings, plasters, paints or the like and it is perfectly protected against attacks by rodents, insects, birds, etc., and by gases, vapours or corrosive emanations. <IMAGE>

Filed: 1961-11-27
Abstract: Propylene and higher a -monolefines are polymerized to solid crystalline polymers using a catalyst formed by reducing a tetrachloride, tetrabromide or tetraiodide of titanium or vanadium to the corresponding trihalide by the reaction with aluminium metal, in the absence of polymerizable hydrocarbon, the amount of aluminium metal employed being sufficient to leave at least one molecular proportion of aluminium metal for each three molecular proportions of such trihalide in the reaction product even when the tetrahalide has been completely reduced, whereby said reaction product comprises activated aluminium and either titanium trihalide or vanadium trihalide and contains no appreciable amount of titanium tetrahalide or vanadium tetrahalide which is exhibiting its maximum valency.  The reduction reaction is preferably carried out at 50 DEG  to 270 DEG C. in a high boiling organic liquid such as mineral oil, mineral spirits, xylene, diphenyl ether or mixtures thereof.  Preferably a eutectic mixture of diphenyl ether and biphenyl is used.  A third catalyst component which may be a diaryl ether, an alkali metal alkoxide, an aluminium alkoxide or one of those employed as an additional component in Specification 920,632 may be employed, the preferred ones being diphenyl ether, sodium methoxide or potassium ethoxide, aluminium isopropoxide and tris-N,N-dimethyl-phosphoramide. Preferably four molecular proportions of aluminium are employed for each three molecular proportions of the tetrahalide.  In the examples propylene, 3-methyl-1-butene, 4 - methyl - 1 - pentene, 1 - butene, styrene, allylbenzene and allylcyclohexane are homopolymerized and ethylene and propylene, propylene and 1-butene, and 1-pentene and 3-methyl-1-butene are copolymerized.

Abstract: 912,052. Magnetrons. GENERAL ELECTRIC CO. Dec. 8, 1960 [Dec. 10, 1959], No. 42266/60. Class 39 (1). The stray magnetic field of a magnetron is directed around the output coupling transformer. The magnetic field H of the magnetron lies in the direction of the arrow in Fig. 2 and at right-angles to the plane of Fig. 4. It is stated that when a field H of cyclotron value is present in the slot between transformer vanes 10, and especially in the ramp region 11, a multipactor discharge may be set up and the window of the magnetron (adjacent the ramp 11, but not shown) may be damaged. To avoid this, the magnetic field is diverted around the ramp region of the transformer by means of C-shaped steel elements 17, Fig. 2. The gaps between the elements are aligned with the field H. In a modification, the shielding structure comprises a steel annulus 19 which forms part of the output waveguide of the magnetron in the region of the ramp. The annulus is coated with a highly conductive material such as silver or copper at least on its inner surface.
