Title: Tear-off cap closure and method of securing same on a container
IPC: B67B3/14
Filed: 1974-08-07
Abstract: 1483219 Tear-off cap closure; method of securing ALUMINUM CO OF AMERICA 7 Aug 1974 [20 Aug 1973] 34868/74 Heading B8T A metal or plastics tear-off closure 2 comprises cap wall 12 terminating in an annular bead 14, a bridge portion 18 connecting a minor portion of the bead to the cap wall and a sever line 16 extending round the cap wall from opposite sides of the bridge portion to enable severing of a major portion of the bead 14 from the cap wall 12 to form a pull-ring 14<SP>1</SP> to and in the removal of the closure cap. Extended sever line portions 44 and 46 define a tear tab 18<SP>1</SP> so that an opening can be formed in the cap top on pulling the pull-ring 14<SP>1</SP>. To form the closure, a lower wall section formed integrally with the cap wall 12 is curled radially inwardly to provide the bead 14. The sever lines are formed either as continuous lines of scoring or spaced slits. The closure is then applied to the container 6 so that the cap top is held on the container rim 27 by a holder 31 and by moving the container and closure together relative to the disc-like rollers 32 and 34, the cap wall 12 is deformed inwardly beneath the container rim 27. The rollers 32 and 34 apply a radially inward force with a downward component to sever a part of the bead 14 from the cap wall 12 to form the pull-ring.

Abstract: 796,497. Inspecting fabrics. YATES, Ltd., W. E., and WAUGH, S. Jan. 16, 1956 [Dec. 2, 1954], No. 34881/54. Class 42 (2). A cloth mending or inspecting table comprises a frame 1 on which is mounted a cloth supporting surface 2 having beneath it a transversely mounted partition 4 which prevents the cloth which has left surface 2 contacting or intermingling with the cloth still to pass over surface 2. As shown, Fig. 2, partition 4 forms one wall of a trough 4, 8 from which a cloth piece P is drawn over the inclined surface 2. Guide plates 12 guide the cloth on to the floor beneath the frame 1. The reverse side of the fabric can then be inspected by taking the end of the piece on the floor, leading it beneath the table, over the upper edge 13 of surface 2 and over surface 2 again; this time, the pivotal mounting 10 at the bottom of surface 2 is adjusted to the Fig. 4 position, so that the cloth passes back into the trough.

Title: Improvements in and relating to methods of and means for determining altitude from aircraft
IPC: G01S13/08
Filed: 1929-11-18
Abstract: 349,426. Indicating proximity of earth ; calibrating instruments ; frequency measurements. BRITISH THOMSON-HOUSTON CO., Ltd., Crown House, Aldwych, London.-(Assignees of Alexanderson, E. F. W. ; 8, Adams Road, Schenectady, New York, U.S.A.) Nov. 18, 1929, No. 35243. Convention date, Nov. 17, 1928. [Class 37.] The altitude of aircraft is indicated by radiating a high-frequency wave of a normally constant frequency from the craft and providing in the aircraft means for detecting and measuring the cyclic changes in frequency of the transmitted wave, or the amplitude thereof, produced by the neglected energy in the radiating circuit. The beat frequency oscillations may be amplified in two or more stages. The altitude may be determined by changing the normal frequency of transmission, the beat frequency being kept the same, in which case the meter is calibrated at different heights corresponding with the wavelengths employed. Positions intermediate those whereat the wave lengths before and after the change are in phase or 180 apart being indicated by amplitude variations or by counting the cyclic variations. In a modification, two aerials are employed with two frequencies of transmission, the cyclic variations producing a beat frequency having maximum and minimum values at different altitudes. By slightly varying the frequency of one transmission, basic altitudes in relation to wavelength can be calibrated on the meter. In one arrangement, Fig. 3, the radiating circuit includes an oscillation generator 12 which is coupled to another but weaker generator 17 having a slightly different frequency, the beat frequency oscillations being supplied to an amplifier 18, detector 22, and recording instrument 25. A resonating circuit 20 of a natural frequency higher than the beat frequency range is provided for maintaining the potentials applied to the instrument proportional to the frequency. In a modification, the meter is connected through two thermionic tubes connected in parallel, their anode currents being displaced 180 in phase, the needle of the meter being damped and responding to pulsations equal to twice the beat frequency. A byepass is provided to maintain energization of the meter within a definite frequency range. In another arrangement, Fig. 8, two aerials 3, 58 are excited at slightly different normal frequencies, the cyclic variations referred to above affecting both transmissions and the beat frequency giving indications corresponding with change in altitude. The frequency of one transmission is varied by short-circuiting a variable portion of the grid coils 57 by a key 56 and the shift in beat frequency is employed for calibrating and indicating definite altitudes on the meter.
