Title: Improvements in ball or roller bearings
IPC: F16C27/06
Filed: 1959-05-14
Abstract: 860,973. Yielding bearing supports. VASTA, F. May 14, 1959, No. 16602/59. Class 12 (1). In a ball or roller bearing, at least one of its rings contains damping elements formed from resilient material and assembled on each side of a reinforcing ring. The damping rings 9, 10 and the metal ring 11, Fig. 2, are coaxial with the bearing and the assembly facilitates the distribution of the stress over the rings 9, 10 to increase their life and their damping effect. Both the inner and outer rings may have one or more damping assemblies formed therein and each resilient element may have a different modulus of elasticity. In a thrust bearing, clamping elements 18, 19, Fig. 9, are arranged on opposite sides of a metal annulus 17. In a further modification, Fig. 11, two reinforcing annuli 17 are arranged between three damping elements 18, 19 and 21. Similar arrangements may be provided on each side of a thrust bearing. The damping elements may be continuous annular members or alternatively they may comprise sets of resilient sectors, arranged so that each sector is opposite a space in the complementary set of sectors to increase the damping effect, as shown in Fig. 4.

Title: A new or improved race-game apparatus
IPC: A63F9/14
Filed: 1948-06-21
Abstract: 641,529. Race games. BRITISH AMERICAN NOVELTY CO., Ltd., and GREEN, W. G. June 21, 1948; No. 16659. [Class 132 (ii)] In electrically-operated race game apparatus comprising a plurality of figures 4 representing dogs or the like each moving along a track 1, the supply of current to the operating means of each dog is controlled by a starting switch operated by the skill or luck of the player and an automatically operated stopping switch so that the dog proceeds a certain distance each time the starting switch is made. Each player uses a track 1 and a bowling alley 30 having holes 32 feeding to inclined channels 33 each containing an upper normally-open pair of contacts 35 and a lower normally-closed pair of contacts 37. A ball bowled up the alley and falling through a hole 32 closes the contacts 35 to supply the current to a rail 6a and a centre rail on which the dog 4 runs. This supply goes through a contactor having a holding circuit completed by the contacts 35. The contacts 37 are in this holding circuit and when the ball passes over them the circuit is broken, the contactor released and the dog stops. Baffles 40 may be provided in the channels 33 to delay the time of passage of the ball. The winning dog sounds a bell, breaks the connections to all the contactors and lights a lamp. A switch is provided common to all dogs for supplying current to the other rail 6a and the centre rail to drive the dogs back to the start. Each dog 4 is mounted at 17 to a bar 15 upstanding from a truck 3 driven by an electric motor 10 through a worm drive 12. One truck wheel carries a crank 21 coupled to a transverse rod 20 which drives up and down a rod 24 running within the bar 15 and connected to the dog 4 at 25. The dog thus rises and falls and, as its legs are freely pivoted, it simulates a running motion. The truck 3 carries a buffer 28.

Abstract: 1,031,770. Electric motors. BIVIATOR S.A. April 30, 1963 [May 12, 1962], No. 16878/63. Heading H2A. An electromagnetic motor has a cup-shaped non-magnetic cylindrical rotor 13 with two separate windings 17 closing on to diametrically opposed commutator segments 15 and mounted for rotation between an inner 11 and outer 7 magnetic core, one of which is a permanent magnet. Each winding is carried in diametrically opposite axial slots in the plastics, or other non-magnetizable, rotor body and is angularly spaced by 90 degrees from the other winding. The permanent magnet, outer core member and inner core member are made from magnetic material having a low electrical conductivity in order to minimize eddy currents. In a modification the poles are formed on the inner member, which is also the permanent magnet member, and the outer member is a cylindrical mantle of magnetizable material. The motor is supplied from a low energy source, e.g. a photocell, and may be used for winding a watch spring. The brushgear for the motor comprises a pair of contact springs 19 made of an elastic non- oxidizable gold alloy which enclose an angle which is approximately equal to the angular width of the gap between commutator segments so that at least one winding is always energized.

Tyre covers, making.-A machine for applying fabric plies to cores in the manufacture of pneumatic tyre covers comprises press elements mounted on the tables of a hydraulic press and arranged on either side of a core 5 on which is disposed the fabric 6. Each press element comprises an annular casing 10 which has an annular recess 11 in one side face to carry a number of concentric rings 12, the operative faces of which conform to the tyre casing contour. Guide rods 13 are attached to the rings 12 and pass through recesses 14 in the base 10, each rod having an enlarged tail and being normally pressed out from the casing 10 by a spring 16. The rods are of graded lengths so that the ring of largest diameter first contacts with the fabric on the core followed successively by the other rings until the ring of smallest diameter is engaged. To ensure even pressure during the closing operation, the core 5 is mounted on a member 18 slidable, against the action of a spring 19, in the lower table 8 of the press. For applying the bead-cores, profiled rings are mounted on the flanged base 23 of the core 5. In a modification a detachable band consisting of three hinged segments is clamped round the tread portion of the fabric on the core.

Title: Process for the production of pure pressed yeast
IPC: C12N1/18
Filed: 1920-06-23
Abstract: 169,504. Wohl, A. June 23, 1920. Yeast.-In the production of pressed veast from molasses, inversion and sterilization of the latter are effected by treatment with strong mineral acid such as sulphuric or hydrochloric acid, before dilution of the molasses, boiling being dispensed with. Sulphuric acid is used in the proportion of 2 per cent by volume. Superphosphate or the like may be mixed with the acid, in which case the precipitated calcium sulphate may be either left in the liquid to precipitate potassium salts, or it may be filtered off from the acid. In the latter case the product is clarified by settling, followed by filtration of the liquid portion and centrifugal treatment of the slime. In the pressing operation, the impure yeast may be mixed with previously purified yeast to reduce the resistance in the press. Specification 8795/93 is referred to.
