Title: Float Connector
Inventor: BURTON ALAN RAYMOND
IPC: A01K91/03
Filed: 2008-01-04
Abstract: A float connector 12 for attaching a float to a fishing line (10; figs 5, 6) comprising a rod 1 with a cone 2 wherein the rod has holes 5, 6 which extend through the diameter of the rod and the cone has a hole 4 and slots 3 on opposite sides of the cone. The slots 3 are in line with and extend from the holes 4, 5, 6. A rubber tube 7, designed to fit over the rod 1, is also provided. In use, a fishing line (10;figs 5, 6) passes through the hole 4 in the cone and the lower hole 5 in the rod. The fishing line is locked in position by the rubber tube 7 which slides down the rod 1 until it contacts the top of the cone 2. A snap link 9 is attached to the rod using the upper hole 6 in the rod. A float is then attached to the snap link 9. The present invention overcomes the problem with conventional devices, which attach pinching shot weights onto the fishing line to lock the float in position and balance it in the water, which can potentially damage the line.

Title: Rail lifting
Inventor: ANDREWS JOHN
IPC: B66C1/64
Filed: 2008-03-12
Abstract: A blade 130 of a quadrant 132 extends through a slot in a pair of jaws to hold a rail. A retainer 136 prevents the quadrant from rotating in an anticlockwise direction about a pivot 134. The retainer 136 is moved out of its position by an actuator 150 contracting to cause a control plate 154 to rotate in a clockwise direction with a finger 160 of the control plate 154 pushing a plate 162 to cause the retainer to rotate out of position. Further retraction of the actuator then causes anticlockwise movement of the quadrant 32 to remove the blade 130 from its position where it locks the jaws.

Title: Inspection assembly for a buried pipe
Inventor: GARTON JOHN
IPC: E02D29/12
Filed: 2008-05-31
Abstract: An inspection assembly for a deep main 1 buried below ground level has a connection conduit 6 linking the main to an inspection head with an inspection valve 10 having an entrance port providing access to the main via the connection conduit, when open, to allow flexible inspection equipment to be pushed into the main. The inspection head is located in a chamber 21 enclosed by lining walls and a removable cover 24 and the inspection head is manually operable by an operator at ground level when the cover is removed. The assembly removes the need for deep buried chambers requiring operator access to an underground chamber. The inspection head further comprises a hydrant valve assembly 16. A method for fitting the inspection assembly involves excavating a pit to provide access to the main, making a fluid tight connection between the main and a connection conduit, providing an inspection head on the connection conduit located at a depth below ground level whereby the inspection head is manually operable by an operator at ground level, back-filling the pit to a level below the inspection head, whereby the connection conduit is substantially covered and whereby a base of a chamber is formed below the inspection head, providing lining walls around the inspection head to form the walls of the chamber and providing the chamber with a removable cover.

Title: Syringe flange protector
Inventor: CLEATHERO IAN CHARLES
IPC: A61M5/20
Filed: 2009-12-07
Abstract: The protector transmits an axial force from a drive element to a syringe barrel 14 having a flange 16 projecting from the barrel. The protector comprises a spacer element 10 that is adapted to be disposed axially rearward of at least part of the flange. It communicates with the drive element through one or more points at a first radial distance from a longitudinal axis to transmit axial force F from the drive element to the barrel through one or more points F' at a second radial distance from the longitudinal axis of the spacer element. The second radial distance is less than the first radial distance. The spacer element may be flexible such that the gap G may be closed when the force F is applied. In use the protector reduces the risk of the flange breaking.

Abstract: 1,179,467. Hydraulic motor control circuits. ROBERT BOSCH G.m.b.H. March 3, 1967 [March 4, 1966], No.10112/67. Heading F1P. Apparatus for controlling two or more say three actuators (not shown) independently or simultaneously comprises individual three-position neutral-centre spool valves in blocks 2, 3 and 4 each of which in its central neutral position shuts off at least one service chamber 25, 27 and in its two operating positions connects said service chamber to a pressure inlet chamber 26 or to a drain chamber 28, and the inlet chamber 26 of each valve is connected to a common supply duct 52 through a dual-purpose valve 8 having a hollow spool 51 biassed to a closed position by a spring 53 within an end chamber in the valve bore 50 which end chamber is connected to the supply duct 52 through an orifice 62 and throttle 64 in the spool 57 and is connected to drain through control conduits 60, 31 and through a recess 36 in the spool 24 of valve 2 when the latter is in neutral, whereby when valve spool 51 is displaced to the position shown against spring 53 by pressure from supply duct 52 the valve 8 serves to unload the supply pressure through drain chambers 28 of valves 2, 3, 4 and when valve 2 is operated the resulting rise in pressure in the spring chamber of bore 50 partly closes valve 8 thereby reducing flow to drain whilst passing a predetermined constant flow through orifice 62 and aperture 63 to the inlet chamber 26 of valve 2. The spool 24 of each valve 3, 4 also includes a recess 36 which in the neutral position connects a chamber 18 of a change over valve 10 to drain 9 through passages 19, 31, 59, 20. With valve 2 in neutral and one or both valves 3, 4 in either end position, a pressure rise in chamber 18 causes piston 17 of valve 10 to close the connection 15 to drain 9 whereon the whole of the supply fluid from duct 52 passes to the inlet chambers 26 of valves 3, 4. With valve 2 operative and one or both valves 3, 4 operative said constant flow is passed through valve 2 and the residual flow is passed through one or both valves 3, 4.

Title: Explosive compositions
Inventor: JONES WALTER THOMAS
IPC: C06B45/10
Filed: 1963-03-14
Abstract: An explosive composition comprises 85-90% by weight of a crystalline high explosive in fine particulate form with a bimodal particle size distribution which is bound in a visco-elastic binder of which 3-25% by weight is a finely divided highly fluorinated polymeric halocarbon.  The high explosive may be RDX, HMX, PETN, or tetryl. Suitable visco-elastic binders are polyisobutylene and polypropylene to which may be added a plasticizer, for example ethyl oleate, dibutyl phthalate, and di-(2-ethylhexyl) sebacate.  The preferred fluoropolymer is polytetrafluoroethylene, but reference is made also to polyhexafluoropropylene and polytrifluorochloroethylene.  The composition may be prepared by mixing a water slurry of the explosive with the binder, draining, and passing the mixture repeatedly through differential knurled rollers.  The composition may be dried and rolled to form an explosive sheet useful to harden metal surfaces or form, shape, or demolish metal articles.
