Title: Sensor and trigger mechanism for a vehicle inflatable cushion restraint system
Inventor: PLUMER ROY DEAN
IPC: B60R21/268
Filed: 1971-06-03
Abstract: 1287536 Crash bags GENERAL MOTORS CORP 3 June 1971 [18 June 1970] 18731/71 Heading B7B [Also in Division F4] In a restraint cushion sensor and trigger mechanism a diaphragm 30, which may be metal, blocking communication between a vessel 10 having a pressurized gas and an inflatable cushion (not shown), is ruptured by a piston means 36 when a differential pressure is applied thereto in response to the vessel receiving a predetermined acceleration force, with means for arresting the piston means after rupture. In operation a frusto-conical inertia mass 82 tilts in response to predetermined acceleration forces, upon a support guide 84 to lift pin 88 permitting balls 90 to move inwardly of spring loaded operator 86 which with its firing pin 92 ruptures an auxiliary diaphragm 46. The portion of passageway 20 between piston 36 and diaphragm 30 which is at the same pressure as the vessel 10 is thus vented to atmosphere and the differential pressure thus applied drives piston 36, after shearing ipn 40, to rupture the diaphragm 30 and thus inflate the cushion via opening 26. After passing the openings 26 the piston 36 is arrested by partially penetrating aluminium plug 100 at the other end of tubular member 22. Tubular member 16 has a pressure relief device provided by diaphragm 64, Fig. 2, and a fill plug 72 which communicate via axial bores 58, 60 respectively with the interior of the vessel 10. A pressure switch 56 is adapted tobe electrically connected to an indicator light on the instrument panel of the vehicle. Alternatively the pressure switch may be dispensed with and the pressure relief diaphragm 64 and fill plug 74 may communicate directly with the passageway 20.

Title: Improvements in the manufacture of milk chocolate and preparations therefor
IPC: A23C1/14
Filed: 1954-06-26
Abstract: The flavour of spray-dried, film-dried or freeze-dried whole milk, cream, skimmed milk, buttermilk or whey is modified to render it more suitable in milk chocolate manufacture by exposure to a heated gas, e.g. air, preferably in the presence of water vapour.  Heating, e.g. for 30 minutes at 80 DEG  C., may be effected continuously on a moving belt.  The milk initially dried may be reconstituted milk powder.  The process includes heating of mixtures of chocolate and spray- or freeze-dried milk powder, and includes extension of the process of Specification 783,861 for such heating of film-dried chocolate-milk and chocolate-sugar-milk products to the heating of spray- or freeze-dried chocolate-milk and chocolate-sugar-milk products, chocolate being ground, dehusked cocoa beans which may have been roasted and may have been partly or completely defatted.

Abstract: 596,490. Sewing machines. WILLCOX & GIBBS SEWING MACHINE CO., Ltd. (Willcox & Gibbs Sewing Machine Co.). July 27, 1945, No. 19258. [Class 112]. Governing needle thread; frames.-A rotary take-up comprises a disc* having thread-engaging elements on opposite sides and has a guard which forms with the machine frame thread passages to enable easy threading and to prevent the thread from being thrown out; the take-up may be arranged on the end or side face of the machine head. In the preferred form shown, the thread passes from a tension device through a guide 42, over a slackthread-controlling pin 35 and an auxiliary take-up pin 34 on the back of the disc 29, round a fixed guide 39, and over a main take-up pin 50 on the front of the disc 29 to the needle 24 ; the guide 39 may have rollers in its surface. or may be rotatable, and the main takeup pin 50 may be larger than the other pins. The disc 29 may be fixed directly to the end of the driving shaft, in which case an annular groove in the machine head accommodates the pins 34, 35, or the latter pins may be carried by a disc on the shaft, working in a recess in the machine head, so that the disc 29 is indirectly supported; in the latter form, the pin 29 may also carry a thread-confining disc. If the disc 29 is fixed directly to the shaft, the latter has a groove formed in one side to receive the thread passing between the pins 35, 34 so as to minimise the deflection of this part of the thread. The guard is fixed by means of the screws fixing the guide 39, and overlies the takeup disc or discs; it may be a flanged plate, in the case where the pin 29 carries an outer disc, or it may be a thicker member with an annular channel to accommodate the pin 50 in cases where the latter projects freely from the disc 29. In each form the rear part of the machine head projects to the plane of the outer face of the disc 29 and the forward part of the guard or its flange extends to the plane of the. rear face of the disc, so that a thread passed clockwise round the guard will automatically engage the take-up correctly. The guard and, where more than one disc is used, all except the innermost disc are provided with central apertures for access to a broken or tangled thread. When the take-up is arranged on the front face of the machine head it is driven by skew gears from the needle-bar shaft.
