Title: Improvements relating to plate and like draining racks
IPC: A47L19/04
Filed: 1934-04-06
Abstract: 436,097. Dish-washing racks. EASOM, F. S., 7, Galliard Street, Sandwich, Kent. April 6, 1934, No. 10449. [Class 138 (i)] [See also Group VI] A plate and like draining-rack comprises a pair of pivoted X-members A, B, spaced by a square sectioned bar O having round ends which form pivot bearings for the X- members. An upper rack comprising longitudinal members D, G and transverse square sectioned bars F, is pivoted at the side D to the upper ends of the members A. The side G rests upon a flat bar P joining the members B and is secured thereto by metal clips R which engage under the bar P. When so secured, the upper rack can hold the largest plates, but to hold plates of smaller size, the X-members A, B are moved towards one another until the bar P engages in rectangular recesses S in the two end bars F, the plates then resting as before, against the longitudinal members P, D. The lower rack comprises longitudinal members J, H, connected at each end by deep rectangular section bars T, and by transverse square bars between and parallel to the bars T. The rack is supported by a swinging metal bar W secured to each bar T, and by a recess V in each bar T engaging the bar O. An inclined stay Y stiffens the rack. The upper and lower racks may be used in approximate alignment, as shown in Fig. 4, in which position a bar L prevents the members A, B from opening out completely. Both racks have raised parts at the edges to accommodate cups, cream jugs and the like, when the racks are in the superposed position, and, of these raised parts, the parts G, H are interlocked in the Fig. 4 position. When in this position, hot water may be directed on to the plates from a rubber tube. When not in use, the rack is folded flat.

Title: Improvements in and relating to counting, or frequency divider, circuits
IPC: H03K25/00
Filed: 1946-04-12
Abstract: 631,869. Pulse frequency dividing circuits. PHILCO PRODUCTS, Inc. April 12, 1946, No. 11297. Convention date, April 12, 1945. [Class 40 (vi)] In a circuit for frequency dividing or counting, a capacitor is changed. by increments through a diode connected in series with it, the anode potential of the diode being increased by means of a cathode follower circuit in proportion to the charge acquired by the capacitor at any instant, the capacitor subsequently rapidly discharging when a predetermined potential appears across it. In Fig. 4 a condenser 61 is charged from a valve 53 in a blocking oscillator circuit via a condenser 58 and diode 59. The potential between cathode and earth of the diode 59, i.e. the potential across condenser 61 appears across the grid-cathode circuit of the cathode follower stage 62 and is transferred to the anode circuit of diode 59 by means of pentode valve 65. The condenser 61 charges up by equal steps, each initiated by a pulse from the blocking oscillator valve 53 until the biassed diode 69 conducts when the blocking oscillator 74 is triggered. Thyratron 67 is rendered conducting, condenser 61 discharging through the thyratron and is then ready for the next charging sequence. Thus the pulse derived from the output of the blocking oscillator 74 has a repetition rate which is a submultiple of that of the pulses derived from the blocking oscillator valve 53. In a modification, Fig. 6, the blocking oscillator valve 80 is triggered by synchronizing pulses applied to conductor 90 and charges the condenser 89 via diode 88 and condenser 87, the diode 91 ensuring that the charging pulses do not exceed a certain maximum amplitude. The anode and cathode of diode 88 are maintained at related potentials by the cathode follower stage 95 and the pentode 99. When the amplitude of the potential at the anode of diode 88 causes diode 101 to conduct the pulse produced is amplified by valve 105 and causes the blocking oscillator valve 112 to conduct. The output of the blocking oscillator is taken from condenser 119 to the apparatus to be controlled and also triggers the tetrode thyratron 122 which allows the condenser 89 to discharge and the cycle of operations to be repeated.
