Title: Neck-in can automatic discriminator
Inventor: ASHINA MASATO
IPC: B21D51/26
Filed: 1984-10-01
Abstract: Neck-in cans being transferred from a neck squeezer by a rotary conveyor are caused to rotate about their axis by a turning mechanism 4 while light is directed at the neck of the can and reflected light is sensed by a photoelectric sensor. Discrimination whether or not any crease is present is made according to the pattern of the photoelectric signal, and any neck-in can judged to have a crease is ejected out of the conveyance line. Several regions of the can neck are inspected by sources 51a-d and detectors 52a-d mounted on a support 50 which is inserted into the can. Alternatively the exterior of each region of the neck is inspected by a lamp with a pair of detectors, one on each side and the difference between the detector signals being used for discrimination. <IMAGE>

Patent GB-2180925-A (GB)
Title: Ventilators
Inventor: HARDY ALEXANDER CHARLES
IPC: F24F7/00
Filed: 1985-09-27
Abstract: The ventilator for dwellings or other buildings comprises a rectangular section duct of inner and outer telescopic parts 10, 12 made of rigid PVC. The inner part 10 has two internal inclined flanges 18 at opposite sides on which is supported a rigid rectangular, parallelepiped porous body of mineral wool. The body is clamped at its upper end between the top wall of the duct and the flanges 18. The body allows water vapour to diffuse outwardly from the interior of the building; it also resists air flow through the duct reducing the speed of through air-flow to 20% to 50% of external air speed, depending on the speed. The ducts are fitted in openings through opposite external walls near the ceiling in ground floor rooms e.g. kitchen. Condensation is prevented without an excessive increase in air flow through the building. The telescopic duct can be fitted to walls of different thicknesses. <IMAGE>

Title: A pre-assembled fitting for terminating mineral-insulated cable
Inventor: HARVEY PETER
IPC: H02G15/04
Filed: 1986-07-16
Abstract: A slidable closure member 5 engages the wall of a cylindrical pot 1 to form with the pot and a wedge 4 for securing the pot to a cable, chamber 8, in which viscous or pasty insulating compound is contained. After sliding the preformed assembly over the prepared cable end, the closure member is driven into the pot and initially forces the insulating compound into the pot to form the required water-tight seal. When this operation is complete, further movement of the closure member drives the wedge to secure the pot to the cable sheath. A tool for use in connection of the fitting to a cable comprises an internally threaded tubular member 32 engaged by a screw 33 which has a passage for the cable, a washer 35 provided with an abutment 36 which protrudes through a slot in the body to indicate the extent of movement of the screw and a locking member releasably engageable with the tubular member for holding the pot inside the body. The tool with the locking member removed is positioned so that the fitting 19 is inside the tool, the locking member is inserted and the screw is operated to cause movement of the slidable member. <IMAGE>

IPC: F21V21/03
Filed: 1987-07-03
Abstract: A hinge assembly eg for attaching a cover plate to a base plate of a ceiling-mounted lamp assembly comprises a hinger pillar 1 and a hinge lock 2. The hinge pillar 1 has slots 9, having restricted openings, for receiving end portions 13 of the hinge lock which each have a recess 14 for receiving a hinge pin. The hinge lock 2 is pivotable within the slot between a first position in which the recesses 14 align with the slot openings so that the hinge pin may be inserted into the recesses 14 and a second position in which the recess 14 are non aligned with the slot opening such that the hinge pin is retained in the recess by the walls of the slots. A detent 15 engages slot portion 10 to retain the assembly in its second position, a tab 16 is engageable by the cover plate of the lamp assembly when the plate is being closed and pivots the hinge lock. The tab serves also for manual release of the hinge lock to dismantle the assembly. <IMAGE>

Title: Respiratory device
Inventor: HAYCOCK JOHN FRANCIS
IPC: A62B18/02
Filed: 1987-07-30
Abstract: A respiratory device for use by people with breathing problems or in cold weather, is in the form of a face mask (10) having a heat exchanging portion (14). The heat exchanging portion (14) comprises a metal honeycomb (20) sandwiched between two layers (22) of spun polypropylene, and has an air inlet aperture (16). As a wearer exhales, the warm breath warms up the metal honeycomb (20) which transfers its heat 10 the air drawn in by subsequent inhalations. After only a few exhalations and inhalations, the inhaled air is found to be warm. The spun polypropylene layers (22) cause turbulence in the inhaled and exhaled air, and help the air to be drawn through substantially all of the channels (21) in the honeycomb. <IMAGE>
