Title: Improvements in or relating to the stacking or arranging of substantially flat articles such as biscuits
IPC: B65G47/24
Filed: 1932-12-17
Abstract: 411,922. Facketing-machines. VICARS, Ltd., T. & T., Earlestown, and MARSDEN, L., 1, Neville Street, Earlestown, Newton-le-Willows, Lancashire. Dec. 17, 1932, No. 35840. [Class 94 (i).] In arranging biscuits and like flat articles in orderly arrangement for stacking, the articles 11 arrive in haphazard arrangement on a conveyer 12 and fall into a series of shoots 14 having helical wings 15 which turn them into a vertical position between guides 24, 25. A horizontal run of the conveyer 12 is arranged below the guides and feeds the articles past adjustable fingers 17 which turn down those which are disposed with their shorter axes in the direction of travel. The guides are laterally adjustable to accommodate articles of different thicknesses. The articles are deflected by fingers 23 so as to fall back into a horizontal position between guides 25, 26, and may be deflected so as to have the original upper sides face uppermost, or to be reversed. The fingers may be omitted and the guides arranged at a slight inclination to achieve the same result.

Title: Slurry fertiliser
Inventor: LEGAL CASIMER CLAUDIUS
IPC: C05B11/06
Filed: 1964-09-04
Abstract: A slurry fertilizer is prepared by treating phosphate rock with nitric acid, phosphoric acid or nitric and phosphoric acids, in admixture or in succession, and/or treating undried triplesuperphosphate with nitric acid, adding the acid related phosphate to a neutralization liquor while simultaneously agitating said liquor and ammoniating it by adding liquid anhydrous NH3 at such a rate as to maintain the pH of the resulting slurry within the range 4.5 to 9. In the production of an N-P2O5-K2O fertilizer potash values are incorporated, e.g. as KCl or K2SO4, during or after the ammoniation. The pH of the final slurry, which has a water content of, e.g. 20 to 35%, is preferably adjusted to 6.5 to 7.5 by adding acidulated rock or NH3 as required.  The slurry may be dried and granulated or pulverized.  An anionic surface agent may be mixed with the rock during acidulation, to act as a defoamer, e.g. the sodium salt of sulphonated oleic acid.

Title: Method of operating a vapour generator-turbo generator and apparatus for generating electricity therewith
IPC: F23N1/10
Filed: 1965-08-24
Abstract: 1,091,112. Automatic control systems. COMBUSTION ENGINEERING Inc. Aug. 24, 1965 [Sept.3, 1964], No.36388/65. Heading G3R. [Also in Division F1] In a plant comprising a steam turbine 16 driving an electric generator 52, the electrical output is sensed at 54 to provide a signal 57 which represents the desired pressure difference to be held across the turbine throttle valve 14. This signal is compared with a signal 51 representing the actual pressure difference to provide an error signal 58 which operates on the governor motor 61 to control the throttle valve 14. The error signal 58 is applied through an integrator 59 so that the control is responsive only to longterm variations in output. To avoid inconsistency in the signal 51 caused by turbulence in the passage between the throttle valve 14 and the turbine 16, the tappings 48, 50 for deriving this signal are arranged with the tapping 50 located downstream of the first stage of the turbine. Signals repre-  senting the actual output and the desired output are compared at 62 to provide an error signal 64 (the error may be a megawatt error or a frequency error). The error signal 64 operates on the governor motor 61 through a controller 65 having a low integrating action and a high proportional action to provide a signal 69 giving an immediate control of the throttle valve 14 in response to transient variations of load. The steam temperature downstream of each superheater 10 is sensed at 20 and compared at 24 with a desired temperature to provide an error signal 26 which is used to operate a respective spray water Injection valve 18 to regulate the temperature. Signals 66 and 71, derive respectively from the quick-acting control 65 and the slow-acting control 59, are added together at 72 to provide a signal which is added at 67 and 68 to a signal 30 formed by adding the two signals 26, whereby further signals 33 and 39 are formed. The feedwater flow is sensed by a nozzle 31 to produce a signal 32 which is added to the signal 33 to provide an error signal 34 which is used to control a feedwater valve 4. The signal 39 is split into signals 40 and 41 which are compared with signals 42 respectively representing the fuel input and the air flow, the resultant error signals 43 being used to control the fuel regulator 46 and the air regulator 47. A boiler throttle valve 8 located between a heater section 6 and the superheaters 10 is controlled by an error signal 76 derived by comparing a signal 74 representing the pressure upstream of the valve 8 with a signal 75 representing the desired value of this pressure.

Abstract: 1,007,515. Conveyers. OWENS ILLINOIS Inc. Oct. 14, 1961, No. 36960/61. Heading B8A. Glass tumblers T travelling on an endless conveyer 12 are engaged in arms 100, 101 carried by a rotating head 53. The arms 100, 101 close on a respective tumbler T and move the latter along a path B. During this operation a mounting 60 carrying the arms 100, 101 is rotated about an axis radial with respect to the head 53 so as to invert the tumbler T. The latter is then engaged by the action of vacuum applied to a chuck 85 which holds the tumbler T over an annular burner 87, by the action of which the moil portion is burnt off. Each tumbler is engaged by a braking arm 15 carried by an endless chain 123 driven by a chain 135 from a gear 56 on a main drive sleeve 49 of the head 53. The arm 15 positions and synchronizes the movement of the tumbler T with respect to the arms 100, 101. The latter are each biased to a closed position by a torsion spring 120 (Fig. 15) on a splined drive shaft 95. The upper end of each arm 95 carries a respective cam follower 111 (Fig. 16). The two cam followers 111 are engageable by a cam 113 connected by linkage 116 to two cam followers 118, 119. The follower 118 is adapted to engage a cam plate 88 (Fig. 6) to cause the arms 100, 101 to open adjacent the conveyer belt 12. The latter is caused to ride over an upwardly projecting pad (Fig. 5, not shown) to assist the transfer action. The cam 119 co-operates with a cam plate 84 (Fig. 4) to open the jaws 100, 101 when the head 53 has turned sufficiently to bring the jaws to the point at which the tumbler is engaged by the chuck 85. To assist in this transfer the head 90 (Fig. 15) carrying the jaws 100, 101 is moved radially outward by the action of linkage 74, 77, and a cam follower 78 (Fig. 6) acting in conjunction with a cam plate 82. Between the two transfer positions at which the tumbler T is respectively picked up from the belt 12 and received by the chuck 85, the head 90 is rotated through 180 degrees to invert the tumbler T. This results from the engagement of a bevel gear 155 on a spindle 61 of the head 90 engaging segmentally disposed teeth on the head 53. U.S.A. Specifications 1,757,211 and 2,215,980 are referred to.

Abstract: 1,274,980. Skip stitch zig zag sewing machines. SINGER CO. 31 July, 1970 [7 Aug., 1969], No. 37075/70. Heading D1G. In a zig zag sewing machine capable of forming stitches in a predetermined range of laterally jogged positions of the needle bar means are provided for influencing the lateral jogging movement of the needle bar beyond that predetermined range and interrupting means are also provided to prevent reciprocation of the needle bar during lateral jogging movement of the needle bar beyond the predetermined range. As shown a counter balanced drive crank 27 is connected through a link 28 to a block 30 which is free to reciprocate on needle bar 24. Normally a depending arm 37 on a latch lever 35 pivoted to a block 32 fixed to the needle bar 24 engages in a notch 39 on block 31 so that a reciprocating drive is transmitted to the needle bar from the crank 27 and the block 31. Needle jogging movements are transmitted to the needle bar gate 22 by a zig zag drive link 50 from followers 54, 55 (not shown) which are moved by cams below the cam 90 on a cam shaft not shown. The normal jogging cams jog the needle within a range throughout which the machine is capable of producing stitches. However, when the cam follower 54 is moved to track cam 90 in the maximum bight position the recesses 90 are deeper than those on any other cam and hence the needle bar is jogged beyond the predetermined range in which stitches can be formed, defined by the size of aperture in the presser foot and throat plate and also by the limits at which the needle can cooperate with the looper. When this movement occurs an upstanding finger 36 on the latch lever 35 which causes the depending arm 37 to rotate and release the notch 39 thus breaking the reciprocating drive link. The needle bar is retained in its elevate position by a shoulder 112 and an inclined cam portion 113 is provided to move the lever 35 to the right should the shoulder 112 fail to retain the depending arm 37.
