IPC: B60R25/04
Filed: 1926-05-03
Abstract: 275,317. King, A. C., and Stringer, J. May 3, 1926. Switches, locking.-A permutation locking device for a switch, particularly for the ignition circuit of a motor vehicle to prevent unauthorized starting, comprises a contact blade 45 pivoted a,t 44 within a casing 10 (secured by internal screws at the rear of the dashboard) and in the operative position engaging a fixed contact 47. The contact blade can be moved to this position, by operating the push rod 40, 41, only when the three discs 22 - - 24 in the rear casing have been brought into such a position, by the manipulation of their respective lettered dials 33 - - 35 in the front casing 52, that three deep notches in the discs come into register to receive the extension 49 of the blade. In the inoperative position of the blade, a further extension 50 thereof engages with a projection 51 on the screwed cover 14 of the rear casing to prevent its removal. The dials are initially adjustable in relation to the sleeves thev serve to operate and are secured in the adjusted position by the nut 38. In addition to the deep notches the disc 22 - - 24 is formed with shallow notches into which the blade may enter without allowing operation of the switch. This prevents the secret combination being ascertained by merely rotating the discs while keeping the blade pressed against them. The front casing is provided with a. cover which is closed down when the combination is set to prevent it being read.

Title: A machine for conveying bottles
IPC: B65B21/18
Filed: 1952-05-08
Abstract: 713,889. Unpacking; packing. LOFWALL, K. E. May 8, 1952 [May 9, 1951], No. 11679/52. Class 94 (1) [Also in Group XXX] A machine for unloading bottles from or loading bottles into a crate includes groups of bottlegripping jaws carried by endless chain means and adapted, for unloading, to grip the bottles in a filled crate presented thereto and to release them on to a discharge conveyer and, for loading. to grip the bottles on a feed conveyer and to release them into an empty crate presented thereto. A crate 20 of bottles is fed along a roller conveyer 19 to rest against a stop roller 21A, on a section 19A which is then lifted to present the bottles to group of pairs of gripping jaws 7, each group comprising, for example, five rows of five pairs, carried by endless chains 1. Each row of jaws is carried on a rod 6 extending between parallel endless chains 1 supported on guide rails 5 and each pair of jaws is urged together by springs 14. The jaws are moved apart above the section 19A by engagement with stationary cam rods 12 and as the crate is pushed from the section 19A over the roller 21A and on to supporting wheels 21 by a pusher 24 on the chains 1, the jaws are allowed to close and grip the bottle necks. The wheels 21 are arranged in two rows each carried by a frame 22, which rows are moved apart to let the crate drop from the bottles on to a crate discharge conveyer 23. The jaws 7 are opened by a stationary cam 13 to drop the bottles onto a bottle discharge conveyer 18. The crate-supporting wheels 21 may be dispensed with and the crate merely allowed to drop under its own weight on to the conveyer 23 or, Figs. 3, 4 and 5, the crate may be positively moved down from the bottles by weights 27 sliding on rods 25 depending from the rods 6, pins 28 slidable axially in the weights being moved into handle apertures 30 in the crate by wheels 29 secured to the pins running in cam tracks 31. At the termination of these tracks 31, when the bottles have been gripped by the jaws 7, the weights 27 drop on to stops 26 on the rods 25 forcing the crate partly off the bottles, the wheels 29 then engaging lower cam tracks.32 which withdraw the pins 28 from the crate and allow the crate to drop on to the discharge conveyer 23. The pins 28 may be dispensed with, a ledge 34 on the weights 27 engaging the crate. If the bottle necks project above the crate edges the whole conveyer 19 may be on a level with the roller 21A and the section 19A stationary. For use in loading bottles into crates the arrangement is such that bottles arriving on the belt 18 are gripped and conveyed to a position above a crate support which presents a crate to the bottles, the bottles being then released into the crate as it moves towards a discharge conveyer.

Abstract: 1,136,574. Making electric components; jointing; soldering. PHILIPS ELECTRONIC & ASSOCIATED INDUSTRIES Ltd. 17 March, 1966 [20 March, 1965], No. 11700/66. Headings B3A, B3R and B3V. [Also in Division H1] An encapsulated semiconductor device is assembled from two parts. In an embodiment the production of one part includes etching a ceramic bead 9 in nitric acid and subsequently dipping the bead in an aqueous or ethanolic solution of lithium molybdate followed by heating in moist and then dry hydrogen. The method is continued by furnacebonding the bead 9 to a nickel-iron stem 2 using a silver (71%)-copper alloy applied as a soldering, coating the assembly with gold, and securing to the head 2a of the stem two silicon diffused diodes 7, 8 and a gold-coated molybdenum plate 13, bonding being achieved (at 10, 15, 14) by furnace soldering using a silver (5%)- tin alloy. The assembly is then etched successively with hydrofluoric acid and sodium hydroxide; this is followed by encapsulation first in silicone resin 3 and then in a cold-setting resin 4. The production of the second part includes the cleaning with nitric acid of a sleeve 11 consisting to at least 93% of alumina and the metallization of the ends of this sleeve either by dip-plating with silver followed by successive electroplating with nickel and gold, or by forming a molybdenum-manganese layer and coating this with a phosphorus-containing nickel layer. An electrode 1 is prepared consisting of a nickel (42%)-iron body which has been provided with a gold coating and heated in nitrogen to promote diffusion. A molybdenum wafer 12 is coated on its underside only with gold. These parts are high frequency bonded to the ceramic sleeve using a solder ring of lead (37%)-tin alloy. A resilient body 5 of phosphorbronze or chromium-nickel is rested on the smooth upper surface of the molybdenum wafer 12 and the two main parts high frequency soldered at 6b using a lead (40%)-tin alloy; the parts are held under pressure during bonding so that the resilient body 5 is deformed and will thus maintain pressure contact in the completed device. In a modification the ceramic sleeve is replaced by a deep-drawn nickel-iron can closed at its lower end upon which rests the molybdenum wafer 12. External contact is made to the bottom of the can and the bulk of the can insulated by a sheath of synthetic material.

Title: Improvements in and relating to the construction of vessels that are liable to be stressed under high internal pressure
IPC: B21D51/24
Filed: 1950-05-12
Abstract: 671,609. Making pressure vessels and pipes. FERRAND, G. A. May 12, 1950 [July 25, 1949], No. 11934/50. Classes 83 (ii) and 83 (iv). In a method of making pipes or other vessels to withstand high internal pressures, the wall of the vessel is surrounded by hoops spaced therefrom by about five per cent to ten per cent of its diameter and is then expanded by internal pressure sufficient to cause permanent deformation so that the wall first engages and then stretches the hoops. For example, a pipe of alloy steel 4 feet 11 inches in diameter, has placed around it at distances apart of 3.15 inches, alloy steel hoops with an inner diameter of 5 feet 4.410 inches. The pipe is subjected to an internal pressure of 3430 pounds per square inch and thereby expanded by about 7 per cent, thus stretching the hoops. After release of the pressure, the pipe retains its deformation. Instead of rigid hoops, flexible rings made from wire cable or thin metal strips wound in layers may be used. Specifications 292,580, [Class 83 (iv)], and 340,148 are referred to.

Title: Improvements in or relating to moulding compositions and to moulded articles made therefrom
IPC: C08G8/32
Filed: 1946-04-24
Abstract: A moulding composition is produced by heating a mixture of blown drying or semidrying oil and heat-reactive phenolic resin until the viscosity begins to increase rapidly and then inhibiting gelation by incorporating a plasticizer and/or a non-heat reactive resin. Fillers or pigments may be added and the product moulded, e.g. to form building construction units such as flooring tiles. The reaction of the oil with the resin may be catalysed by a mixture of boric and oxalic acid, metal resinates, oleates, benzoyl peroxide, a metal such as cobalt colloidally dispersed in an oil-miscible medium, maleic acid, boric acid, benzoic acid, citric acid, oxalic acid, tartaric acid, succinic acid or lactic acid.  Suitable oils are linseed, tung, dehydrated castor, soybean, or china wood oil.  Suitable heat-reaction resins are obtained by alkaline condensation of formaldehyde with a p-alkyl phenol.  Examples are described in Specification 507,770. Suitable non-heat-reactive resins are colophony, coumarone resins, indene-type resins, ester gums, hard petroleum residues and residue pitches.  Suitable plasticizers are butyl phthalate, tri-cresyl phosphate, soft petroleum residues, whale oil pitch and residue pitches.  Fibrous fillers are, for example, sawdust or asbestos fibres.  Other suitable fillers are whiting, ground limestone, slate dust, silica flour, titanium dioxide or iron oxides.  In example (1), blow linseed oil was heated, a heat-reactive phenol-formaldehyde resin added followed by a mixture of oxalic and boric acids, and heating continued until viscosity increased.  A molten mixture of coumarone-indene resin and a petroleum aromatic residue was stirred in, followed by short asbestos fibre, whiting, titanium dioxide and pigment.  The mixture was formed into sheets. Examples (2), (3) are similar, using a mixture of coumarone-indene resin and stearin pitch to stop gelation and using hardwood sawdust in place of asbestos fibres.
