Abstract: 161,442. Sharp & Preston, Ltd., and Docking-, A. April 14, 1920. Mixing fluids in flow.-Gas and air mixing and compressing apparatus, such as that described in Specification 113,160, is provided with an independent valve for automatically closing either the gas or air inlet when the compressor is stopped. The spring-pressed valve E seats on an horizontal partition B in the casing A, and the lower end of the valve-stem E<1> is connected to a flexible diaphragm H near the bottom of the casing and below the inlet C. The diaphragm is attached to a casing J extending up from the base of the casing A, and the space K below the diaphragm is connected by a pipe Q to the delivery pipe P of the compressor. The outlet D of the valve casing is connected to the air inlet M of the mixing and compressing apparatus N. When the compressor stops and the pressure falls, the valve E is closed by the spring L and the atmospheric connection with the air inlet M is cut off. When the compressor is running, the pressure on the underside of the diaphragm raises the valve and restores the atmospheric connection with the inlet M. When the valve is placed in the gas supply connection, it cuts off the gas before it reaches the mixing-valves of the apparatus.

Filed: 1953-04-16
Abstract: 741,955. Automatic speed control systems. GENERAL ELECTRIC CO., Ltd., FRIEDLANDER, E. S., and MAER, C. A. April 14, 1954 [April 16, 1953], No. 10435/53. Class 38(4). [Also in Group XXXVII] A winder is driven by an induction motor 10 having a wound rotor, the stator being supplied with three-phase current through contacts 130 or 131 of main forward or reverse contactors respectively. Direct braking-current is fed to the stator through contacts 126 of a main braking contactor, the magnitude of this current, as well as that of the rotor resistance, being regulated as described in Specification 738,310. The main contactors have operating windings 53, 55, 69, and auxiliary contacts which provide interlocking to prevent simultaneous operation of two of these contactors. Pilot contactors having operating windings 163, 164, 165, control the main contactors, the pilot contactors for power operation being regulated by slider 45 coupled to speed-setting lever 40. Selection between driving and braking is effected by a polarized relay 72. When a pushbutton 167 is depressed, the pilot braking contactor is energized to open contacts 166 whereby the main power contactor which is then in operation is de-energized, after which the main braking contactor is closed. Thus a demand for dynamic braking operation supersedes a demand for driving. All the pilot contactors may be de-energized when a mechanical brake is applied, and the main contactors may be interlocked mechanically. Specification 717,253 also is referred to.

Abstract: 874,744. Multi-ply paper bags. PAPER SACKS Ltd. March 4, 1960 [March 26, 1959], No. 10530/59. Class 94(2). A block bottom-multi-ply valve-bag-has at least the outer ply and other than the innermost ply of the triangular valve corner flap of the block bottom slit or perforated in line with the fold lines of the block bottom flaps, the slits or perforations extending towards the adjacent diamond corner fold so that the valve corner flap can be torn between the fold lines and along the diamond corner folds to expose a pouring orifice. The intermediate ply web of a three-ply bag is previously perforated and slit to outline a rectangular valve corner tongue 1, the edge of which is slit at 2 to form a fringe which, after the corner flap D is folded, forms the lower part of a valve extension sleeve. The upper part of the valve sleeve is formed by a rectangular piece of paper 9, secured by adhesive, having under-folded margins 9a and its edge fringed at 2a. The innermost ply is cut back at 4. Slits 5 in the outermost ply of the corner flap D extend from its inner edge along, or close to, the block bottom fold lines 6-6 and form a tear lead. The tongue 1 is slit or perforated at 2a in alignment with the slits 5. With more plies, similar slits to 5 are made in the other intermediate plies. When the tongue 1 is pulled outwards through the valve mouth it is bent back along the slits 2a and 5 and tears along the fold lines 6-6 and along the creased diamond folds 7a, 8a until the base of the valve corner separates at the point 10. The flap 4 may be pulled into the torn-out opening and constitute a pouring lip. Alternatively the flap 4 may be adhesively secured so that it also is torn out, when the contents are poured out over the point 10. In a modification the fringed valve extension tongue is omitted and a valve sleeve extension is formed by pasting on a rectangular piece of paper, which is torn out to form the orifice in a similar manner.
