Title: Improvements in and relating to apparatus for grading apples and like fruit
IPC: B07B13/07
Filed: 1950-07-10
Abstract: 671,189. Fruit grading apparatus. JANSEN, A. W. July 10, 1950 [Aug. 9, 1949], No. 17165/50. Class 117 In a fruit grading apparatus comprising a transversely inclined conveyer belt 1 with a guide 4-8 at its ower side having grading spaces of increasing height in the direction of travel, the profiles of the cross-sections of the guide throughout its length subtend the same angle d with the belt. As shown in Figs. 1 and 2 the guide comprises a number of strips 4, 5, 6, 7 and 8 arranged with their lower edges in steps both transversely and longitudinally to provide a series of guiding edges and grading spaces respectively for the various sizes of fruit, the lowermost strip 8 being terminated in the direction of travel. Fig. 3 shows an arrangement wherein transversely stepped guiding strips 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 and 8a have an upward slope in the direction of travel, the strips being terminated where their lower edges reach just above the height of the largest fruit dealt with. In this case the lowermost strip 8a extends throughout the grading length of the belt and the partitions 10 dividing the collecting table 9 may be positioned for any desired size ranges. The strip 8a may be adjustable.

To determine the correction to be applied in printing an unbalanced colour negative white light is passed in turn through the negative and each of the three possible pairs from a pack of three balanced test filters each absorbing an equal amount, conveniently 50 per cent, of three colours as of green, red and blue respectively and transmitting the other two colours, the intensity of the light so transmitted is measured as in the form of deflection of a galvanometer connected to a photo-electric cell; and correction filters of the colour or colours which give rise to the higher intensity measurements), selected from a range absorbing, for example, 80, 66, 50 and 30 per cent of an unwanted colour, which are adapted to give equal intensity measurements when tested in replacement of the test filter or filters giving the higher intensity measurements, are the correction filters required to be placed in the path of the printing light for printing a balanced colour positive. " Kodak " (Registered Trade Mark) colour-compensating filters CC-10C (cyan), CC-10M (magneta) and 33 10Y (yellow) are recommended as the pack of test filters, and the correction filters may be found empirically or, using an arithmetically graduated galvanometer, by calculation as exemplified in the Specification, in which case a pair of CC-05M (magenta) and one CC-O5Y (yellow) correction filters are required; such example applying only to the particular negative and optical system used. Other filters for the purpose are described.

Abstract: 1306197 Cine projectors BELL & HOWELL CO 28 May 1971 [25 June 1970] 17866/71 Heading G2E A cine projection having a support assembly, for carrying a number of cartridges 19 to and from a projection station, and which includes a support 10, a tray 14 having ends 16, 18 for containing the cartridges 19 and a device operated by the lever 180 for accurately aligning a cartridge 19 at the projection station. As shown the support 10 includes rods 34,36 extending between ends 30,32 and the tray 14 includes two bars 48,56 connected by plate 86. The tray 14 is moved relative to the support by an indexing mechanism 20 having a knob 60 which rotates a detent locked gear 62 engaging notches 66 in the rod 36 and rack 68 on the bar 56. The mechanism 20 is mounted on a carriage 40 which moves relative to both the support 10 and tray 14. Rotation of the knob 60 through one position moves the carriage 40 along the rod 36 by a distance equal to the opening between notches 66 and the tray 14 simultaneously moves twice this distance relative to the support 10. A cartridge 19 is aligned accurately at the projection station by depressing lever 180 during the movement of the tray so that sprung fingers which engage recesses in the base of the cartridge are retracted. Release of the lever 180 permits these fingers to advance and align the cartridge. The cartridges 19, as shown, are of the type which can be connected together to form a stack. The end 18 is pivoted about rod 140 and has its lugs 138 urged to engage the cartridge 19 by a spring fitted around a fin 148, however the end 18 is unable to move along the tray 14. The end 16 is moveable and is held in its desired position by detents 92,106 engaging notches 100, 112 respectively and these may be retracted by pressing buttons 102,114 when the end 16 is to be moved.

Class 146(2) In an apparatus having a recording tape which is moved under the influence of a weight, and a vibratory stylus for tracing a wave form on the tape so as to render it possible to determine the distances travelled by the tape in various periods of time, electromagnetic means are provided for effecting simultaneous release of both the weight and the stylus. In the Atwood machine shown in Fig. 1, the tape 8 passes over the tape wheel 5, the weight 10 for moving the tape is supported on a pivoted and counterweighted support 9, and the vibrator 6 is arranged so that when it is oscillated it causes the stylus 7 to mark the tape. When switch 13 is closed electromagnets 11 and 12 are energized and respectively hold the stylus to one side and the support 9 in its weight-supporting position. When the switch is opened the stylus and support 9 are released simultaneously. In the Fletcher's Trolley apparatus shown in Fig. 4 the trolley 15 is held at the top of slope 14 by electromagnet 21, and the stylus 18 on vibrator 17 is held to one side by electromagnet 20. When switch 22 is opened to de-energize the magnets the trolley is released to run down the slope, and simultaneously the stylus is released to mark the tape carried on the top surface of the trolley.

Title: Improved water-soluble phenolic adhesive resin
IPC: C08G8/08
Filed: 1943-11-01
Abstract: Resin adhesives are made by refluxing together a mixture of a phenol, formaldehyde and alkali in the proportions of 2-3.5 molecules of formaldehyde and 0.2 to 1.0 molecules of caustic soda, caustic potash, or sodium carbonate, for each mol. of phenol, and continuing the refluxing until the mixture on cooling has a viscosity of 230 to 46,000 centipoises.  The phenol may be p  pure phenol or a phenolic material having a distillation range 180-220 DEG  C. and having not more than 15 per cent of orthocresol, xylenol, or mixtures thereof. The resin may be mixed with 5-40 per cent wood flour, and the water content may be between 40 per cent and 75 per cent.  If the proportion of caustic soda or potash is between .55 and .85 mols. per mol. of phenol and is increased progressively as the amount of formaldehyde is increased from 2-3.5 mols., continued refluxing eliminates free formaldehyde by a secondary reaction.  The aqueous product may be dried to a powdered adhesive.  In examples 1-5, phenol is reacted with varying proportions of formalin and caustic soda, and the products are mixed with wood flour and used in the manufacture of plywood; in example 4, the product is spray-dried before mixing with wood flour.  In examples 6 and 7, metaparacresol (i.e. 53 per cent metacresol distilled within range 199-205 DEG  C.), and metacresol were treated similarly.
